The old stallion and the sky

Scoots had left the building, but she hadn’t run home. She runs over to the water hose she had seen on her way here. She needed to drink some water right now. She had the feeling that she owed it to her aunts to clean her mouth right now, she felt really guilty and didn’t know what to do. Should she run back home? Forget what happened here and lie to everyone? Or should she tell her aunts? Was it bad what her grandfather did to her? Thanks to her family and friends she knew how love feels, she had felt unloved and lonely, she also had felt useless because of her wings, but as a Cutie Mark Crusader, she had learned that she was more than the task she could handle or not. The ability to fly was what make a Pegasus special, but not a Scootaloo. Even when her parents were absent, she knew they loved her because love was not a thing of distance and time, it was about feelings.
The moment Scootaloo saw her grandfather for the first time her feelings were clear, this old man was part of her family and she loved him, even when he doesn’t want her near to him and even if her aunts don’t want her to be here with him.
And how did she felt now? She felt a bit ashamed and confused. She had drunk a gallon of water but still was able to taste his seed in her mouth and feel it in her throat. Somehow she had the feeling that she had to be ashamed about what happened, maybe she should cry? She had a lot of questions right now and was not able to ask any pony, except for one. The old guy who had just used her to do something really shameful and dirty.

She looked to the door of the hut and then to her scooter. She had to make a choice.

She went back into the house!

She opened the door very carefully and looked around, her grandfather had left his place and it seemed like he was in the bathroom now, or maybe it was the bedroom? His robe was laying on the armchair and it was still sticky with some of his seed, like the floor. Scootaloo wanted to sit down again, but she felt like this was wrong, she doesn’t want to stay still land wait for him like she did when he touched himself. She wanted to do something and she had to do it now!

Cloud Jumper had spent nearly an hour under the shower. Not only did he love the feeling of hot water running down his body, but it also helped him get clear on his mind. He did a lot of bad things in his life, but getting turned on by a minor filly and masturbate in front of her and make her swallow his sperm? And it was his granddaughter! He should have used this chance to talk to her, trying to do something good at least one time in his life! He had lost his wife, his daughter and now he did something so evil to his granddaughter, just to protect himself, just to hold to this hard shell around him.
He left the shower and walked over to the mirror and grabbed his razor blade, maybe should do it now? The thing he thought about every time when he shaved? The thing a lot of his friends did? Maybe it would finally end if he put an end to himself? He once had made an important promise, but this was years ago and he had fallen to another level closer to hell, maybe this was more important than that promise? He already felt the cold steel at his throat and closed his eyes.

A loud noise came up from his living room followed by the voice of Scootaloo “Horse apples!”

Cloud was surprised, she had returned? He put the razor back and walked into the living room to check out what happened. He covered himself with a towel and walked through the door.
He found the orange filly with the purple mane on the floor, surrounded by newspapers. It seemed like one of the newspaper towers had fallen down and nearly crushed her.

“What in tarnation is going on here?” He asked with a grunt

“I’m sorry, I tried to tidy up a little in here, but when I tried to move these newspapers they just fell down and- what is this!?” Scoots had shouted the last words because she had spotted what was hidden behind this tower of paper. She saw a plate with a frame and behind that glass were medals! She knew these medals from her school field trip to the Wonderbolts training center! “The Rainbow Heart! The Celestial cross! The Metal of Friendship! A-and even more! What is this one?” She pointed at a metal that was shaped like a crescent moon. “You… you have been a Wonderbolt! You have been a damn good Wonderbolt!”

As Scoots pointed at the old metals Cloud noticed that she had a cut near to her hoof, she had hurt herself while she cleaned up in here? He grabbed the towel around his Waist to cover that wound. “Calm down, this is just scrap metal.”

“Grandpa Cloud Jumper… your wings!” Scootaloo spoke quite when she noticed her grandfather’s wings, they were short, nearly as short as her own! “You can’t fly, but you have been a Wonderbolt!?”

“No!” said Cloud and made sure the wound was covered enough “also you are hurt, come we need to clean this wound.”

“I will not move until you tell me how you can have all these metals if you were never able to fly!” Scoot was not even more eager to know the secret of her grandfather.

“I didn’t get these metals as a member of the Wonderbolts.” He spoke with a dry voice and closed his eyes, he doesn’t want to think about his past, he had no idea why he even had hold to his old metals. He shouldn’t tell her, but he owned her something, right? “I…” he started to speak but it was hard to find the right words. Come on! Just say it! “I have been a Shadowbolt.”
