When Your Best isn't Good Enough

As I sat awaiting the trial to start and to testify against my own family I felt like trash. But all the evidence was there, proof from the police rape kit came back positive, my journals I hid in the floor boards of my old room, and the X-rays from several years of injuries. When the trial began Luna, Cadance, Twilight Sparkle & Celestia sat at the front of the room. I forgot to mention Nurse Redheart and the rest of the element bearers were there. It looked and felt like all of Ponyville was there. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Pinkie Pie smile and mouthed that it was gonna be okay..........oh shit the security detail was extensive. I guess it was because royalty was there. We had guards from Celestia's troops, Luna's bat pony armies, Cadence brought a battalion of guards thanks to Shinning Armor I suppose, Twilight Sparkle for her guard were Spike an Discord; hell she had the element bearers there but fuck there was an army here.

"Riptide take the stand" as he trudged to the stand I saw fear.........in his eyes. "Princess Twilight Sparkle will you please show the ponies here today the History of Sunrise?" I walked to the stand and the rest of my family were then summoned and Twilight performed the spell and my whole life was shone. The crowd began yelling and saying that what more proof or need if witnesses were needed when they saw it all? It was beginning to get out of hand when Luna used her Royal Canterlot voice and shut everypony up.

"We are going to get their personal testimonies and then we're gonna give a verdict!" So one by one my family said their peace. Then it was my turn. I cried as I testified against them, my heart broke I didn't want to but if I was going to be free from the abuse it ended today.........so help Celestia I will end it one way or another. The court took a recess and I was tackled by Pinkie and the others in a huge hug.

"I'm proud of you darling, you stood up for yourself and told your story, you'll be safe now and no more of that vulgar treatment.

We waited for a good two hours for the verdict. But it came back and my family got varying sentences, mother was sent to work in the mines under the diamond dogs. My father was sent to serve his time in a griffon prison work detail clearing the path for new road ways. Daffodil was sent to prison for being an accomplis to attempted murder, Sandstone was banished far beyond the dragon lands, if he even set a single hoof on the border he was to be shot instantly. My younger brother Clay was sent to juvinile correction facility. Bluebonnet was sent to an orphanage. Me The royals had to figure what to do with me. So in the mean time Pinkie Pie pushed to let me live at Sugarcube Corner.
