Chapter 4: Recovery and a Mauling

After a few months Firebrand's ribs were healed and her wing took longer to heal due to the severity of the break. When it did heal, she began therapy and that included re-learning how to fly. When she could operate at full power in her flight she was escatatic! The bullies steered clear of her not wanting to get in trouble after spending every bit they had earned in their jobs, however Red Lightning would occasionally shove her around and treat her like garbage.

The little group of bullies besides paying medical bills were forced to be basically her servants and had to do her bidding. They complied at first grudgingly but actually began to enjoy it some once they got to know her better. Red on the other hoof vowed that he'd one day make her life a nightmare.

It had been a year when Red Lightning made good on his vow; Firebrand was trotting to her locker to grab her books to go home when a red blur slammed into her at full speed sending flying into the lockers. Red stood over and began slamming his hoof into her face and kicking her. She had tried to run but he tackled her and struck her wind-pipe. As she tried to breathe, he went airborne and and sent his weight on her leg and there was a resounding crack. She dragged herself down the hallway and there was a jerk on her left wing with a the bone cracked. Unable to flee and unable to fight back she figured that Red Lightning was probably gonna kill her.

She froze in fear as he circled around. A blur of yellow and a blast of magic Red was sent hurdling back; Flint came in behind Cold-Steel and Banana Split and the three took a defensive stance Red laughed as he flew off, he had his fun. Firebrand was once again rushed to the ER. Her injuries had a high percentage of being fatal; several ribs if moved wrong during surgery would Pierce a lung or her heart. Her spine had taken a severe hit she could live her life walking with a limp. She also suffered a cunncussion and the optic nerve a in her left eye were badly damaged as well. Her family paced nervously in the waiting room, she had so many ponies in that waiting room worrying about her that if she knew she'd be embraced to be getting this much attention.
