loving him

My eyes wink open softly, I yawn and stretch.

“Hmmmm.”
I notice no one’s here.

I look side to side as I realize my cage is locked.

“Sheriff? SHERIFF?? sheriff hitch?”
I yelled out.

He approaches the cell.

“Oh your up….”
He said cold.

“Yeah um can I come out to freshen up?” I ask soft.

“No you cannot.”

“Why sir?”I said feeling hurt.

“Because your going back to zephyrheights…. To be locked away….FOREVER!”
The raise in his voice sent chills down my spine.

“H- hit- I’ve done everything you said! How could you just send me back I haven’t even gotten a chance- I thought maybe you liked m-“
I was cut off by him yelling.

“YOUR A THEIF- A CRIMINAL! OF THE QUEEN NO LESS! you think I’d honestly like a pony like you? I’m the sheriff, besides that zipp is ready to go.”

Zipp came up to the cage angry.

“Come on criminal… your going where you belong.. the zephyrheights prison!”

Hitch opened the cell and zipp grabbed my hoof pulling me out and pushing me out the door as I protest in movement.

“Please no HITCH PLEASE! Stop STOPP! Please!!”

I jumped up fast and fell off of my cell bed.

“AHHH!”

I breathed hard on the ground feeling the walls close around me.

Hitch woke up with all the noise as he stood fast.

“Y/n ..Y/N!!!”
He shouted loud but I couldn’t hear him through the panic and anxiety.

He quickly opened the cell and came in, as I panicked I felt a pair of hooves wrap around me.

“Shhh calm down its ok- you were dreaming, shhhh~”
He held me softly as I started to realize I was safe my breathing slowed.

“H-hitch?” I softly mumble.

“Yeah I’m here, it’s me don’t worry.”
He smiled and rubbed his hood aside my back cueing me.

I nuzzles into him crying, he held me for several minutes until I realized I needed to pull away so I did.

“Thank you.. i just had a nightmare is all” I softly mutter.

“It’s ok I need to be up anyways, I’m just glad I could be here to make sure you were ok.”

“Thanks.. well I guess the days starting” I stretch.

“May I come out sir? Only if you want I won’t trou-“
I was cut off.

“Yeah Ofcourse head upstairs and get ready, when your done I’ll get ready after, would you mind mixing me up some coffee when you finish? I like how you make it.”
He smiled soft.

“Definitely sheriff sir.”
I trot up stairs and freshen up, when I finish I slowly trot down stairs as I hear noise.

“Ahem I’ll certainly take care of that daliah.”

“Oh good I was so worried.. I love how you help me so much, I only wish I could help you as much back.”

I poke my head slightly out so no pony would notice me as I watched and listened.

The mare put her hoof on his chest and rubbed it softly, then she nuzzles him seductively.

I started feeling really angry, like I had a right to be even though I didn’t.

“Just the citizens living in peace is thanks enough for me, I’m now only getting complaints from posey haha.” He cluelessly didn’t realize her motive.

“Well if you change your mind sheriff hitch you know where to ahem find me.” She said sweet.

I looked in fury as thoughts circled in my head.
(What a whorse like she doesn’t know how to act pffft she just ughhhh!) my thoughts consumed as I trotted down stairs.

“Ah good I’ll be out soon.” He went up as I made his coffee.

He came down as I was standing by his desk with our drinks.

I stared at him, remembering last night I started to blush.

“Thanks so much Y/n. We got a lot to do today.”

I nod as a purple pony walked in.

“I’m glad I caught you at a good time.” She smiled wide.

“SPARKY! hi bud, I missed you so much oh yes I did oh yes!” He yelled grabbing him and hugging him.

I watched from afar.

Hitch placed sparky on his back as he looked at me.

“Oh oh izzy I’d like you to meet y/n.”

She got up close to me.
“Hi new friend! Are you new?!”
She smiled wide.

Hitch intervened.

“Yes haha she’s staying with me for a bit she’s a … old friend.” He smiled wide looking nervously at izzy.

“Ooooooo sweet, hey y/n you should totally come to the crystal bright house tonight all our friends are going to watch the light show right hitch.”

He thought. “Wait that is TODAY!?”

“Yeahhhhh remember we all planned this, ooop I have to get going, we need more time to finish the decorations.”

He came up to sparky.

“Bye little guy see you later.” She bopped his nose and he laughed.

“Bye new friend and old friend see you later!!!!”

She jumped out of the door.

Hitch walked out of the station with sparky as I followed behind.

The whole day we were out, him patrolling and me picking up litter, he was quiet.

The day soon faded into sunset, a pink and blue layer surrounding all of maretime bay.

Hitch sat by the sea and tapped his hoof next to him indicating he wants me to sit.

I sat as he placed sparky next to him.

“You can go… just don’t make me regret it,” he looked over and started to smile.

I smiled back full of glee inside of me trying to hide it.

“Great, I mean cool.” I hid.

“It’s gonna be dark soon we better get ready to go it’s a decent trot to get there I’m sure we will make it right at night fall.”

The both of us began trotting up to the crystal bright house as sparky fell asleep on his back, along the way he told me everything I could say and what I couldn’t but he assured me zipp would be there, I got a bit worried but maybe she will think I’m doing better, Atleast I thought I was.
