Blue faith

Flitter was scared.

Not because she has done something that will surely get her hanged nor was it because she discovered something that shouldn't be possible.

No, she was scared of how her sister will react.

Granted they shared some of the same ideals and beliefs but believing in something is different than actually doing something about it. Especially when doing so is highly illegal making the risk greater than the payoff. Flitter knew this but unlike her sister, she wasn't afraid of the consequences.

Not when it involves the potential death of another living being.

"It's okay! I won't hurt you I promise".

She received no response. The room she was facing was covered in darkness making it nearly impossible to see inside. However, even though Flitter received no reply the faint scent of blood reassured the anxious pony that her newly found guest was still present.

Flitter smiles nursing her ribs before opening her mouth to speak. No doubt wanted to give more reassurance that she meant no harm and only wanted to help. However, before the words themselves came into reality the sound of a door opening along with Cloud's voice filled the air.

"Flitter!? This better be an emergency!"

Smiling once more all although nervous the blue pony went to confront her sister.

She needed to know.

If worse comes to worst they can at least try to find a lot safer than here.

Olmo wanted to go home.

Unfortunately, his latest mistake could very well make sure that he'll never get the chance.

Not when he came across a pony.

A monster.

Just one of a much larger group that took everything from him.

His home.

His planet.

His family.

He still hears the screams of his dying mother and feels his little sister's arms as she gasps her entire body shaking as she tried desperately to get air back into her lungs. Her eyes were wide and scared as she stared into his eyes pleading and begging for him to do something anything.

He couldn't.

His father's words of apologies repeated over and over as he held a gun to his head. Olmon screamed before the sound of gunfire echoed and blood splattered all over his face.

There was so much blood.

His vision became red and he screamed, hollowed, and yelled until he could no longer speak. His vision was a tainted red due to all the blood. He cleaned and wipe his face over and over again but the red was still there, mocking him. Reminding him of what he's seen and the people he lost.

Useless.

He was so useless.

A laugh escaped his lips. A long dealt with a tic that he once tried desperately to get rid of.

Now?

He couldn't find it within himself to care.

Regardless he covered his mouth and ducked even lower. He tries to use his outfit as well as his natural skin color to blend into his surroundings and judging by the blue pony's wandering gaze it worked.

Now what?

He couldn't leave. Not when he was nearly caught by a patrol that lead him into this situation in the first place. No doubt they were doubling their search. If that wasn't worrying enough the pony he was with could easily turn him in.

Or so he thinks.

Even if they managed to save each other's lives it doesn't mean that she wasn't gonna kill him later. Ponies are sick and twisted beings after all.

Olmon sighed.

He should have walked away when he had the chance.

Either way, he was screwed it seemed.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'''"

"WHAT!" Cloudchaser screamed. Her eyes are wide with shock. Flitter in response hurriedly nods. Sporting a bruised eye as well as letting her sister carefully check her ribs.

"I know, I know, I shouldn't have been outside, to begin with, but there was traffic and by the time I was halfway home it was already too late".

Equestrian curfew when broken is punishable by either a hefty fine or two months imprisonment.

Worst-case scenario the ponies doing the patrols would do things that no pony or otherwise should be able to get away with.

It was sickening.

Cloud raised a wing.

Silence fell.

Cloud took a breath. Hurriedly Processing everything her twin has told her. It was crazy, hard to believe, and downright reckless if everything she said was true,

And it was.

Flitter was many things but she wasn't a liar. Not when it was only the two of them involved.

With this in mind, the right thing to do was to report to the guards and wait for them to arrive. Doing so will not only help their newly formed empire but the twins will also receive a payment that could nearly set them for life.

After all, humans were nothing but dangerous beasts hell-bent on causing havoc wherever they go.

They were monsters.

Demons.

Beings that nature itself regrets creating.

Cloud sighed.

That would be the right thing wouldn't it?"

"Show me".

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"It won't come out".

Cloud nods before gesturing for Flitter to give her some room. A moment later said mare did as instructed but the concern was still evident. She trusted Cloudchaser's judgment but she was worried that if they rushed things it could end in disaster.

Cloud stepped forward making it so that she was far less threatening as possible. Even so, her heart raced with the knowledge that any being especially when corned tends to lash out. This is more so a concern when the creature they're dealing with is the one ponykind tried to erase.

"I know you're scared and you have every right to be, but I heard the things from my sister that makes me glad that you were there".

Silence.

"You don't have to trust us and frankly I don't blame you but if anything I want you to know that we were a part of a group that was against the treatment your kind received".

No response.

Taking a deep breath Cloud slowly pulls out a knife from behind her back.

"I understand that you don't feel safe as such it's only right that I give you a reason to not feel threatened".

She throws the knife.

Something large and fast struck out grabbing the knife before pulling back.

Cloud only hopes that she's making the right choice.

However, before she can urge the human to come out of hiding the sound of knocking echoes throughout the house.

"This is Patrol guard seven! Please open the door!"
