Assignment Part 3

Shadow and the family sat in the livingroom with a round card table set up and playing poker using candy as currency. Shadow had an hour earlier talked with Chrysalis, Lock-Bolt and Stonewall about what he knew. Shadow was grateful that he brought it up in private with his parents present. Stonewall would've been the type of brother Shadow would want as a brother. Shadow had agreed to room with Ruby for a couple of months until they were sure that she wouldn't let her past dictate her future actions. Shadow still hadn't had a chance to chat with Palisade who kept stealing glances at her direction.

"The holidays are next week and you'll get to meet our extended family; however, you'll get to meet our cousin Alloy or Alli for short. She hasn't lost a sparring match yet no one in our cousin group has beat her yet. How would you like to try Shadow?" Topaz asked after mentioning the holiday.

Shadow responded, "You really want to see a street kid squish a home raised bug?"

"A one hundred eighty pound home raised bug with ego problems." Topaz retorted with a sweet smile on her face trying not to laugh.

Chrysalis laughed, "Be nice now Topaz, Alloy is your cousin from Pharynx, so she is well trained."

"Pharynx' child but we all know who had to carry that child." Lock-Bolt said forgetting that one kid was still a minor.

"Dear...Emerald is still in the room." Emerald Joy sat there trying to look like she didn't hear but she already heard but wanted to forget about.

Emerald looked at Shadow who looked too confident. "She probably has a good a hand...I have a pair in my hand and what's showing on the table is another pair. Shadow might have a flush considering I see three hearts facing up." Emerald thought to herself getting stressed.

Palisade finally spoke to Shadow, "So Shadow how many guys have you dated?" Chrysalis and Lock-Bolt looked horrified that their son would dare ask a question like that.

"None of your fucking business!" Shadow said in a tone that had hint of death waiting to spring forth. Palisade glared daggers now.

"Watch your language! Cursing and swearing aren't permitted in this house!"

"Shove it up your ass little cock sucking bitch!"

"Hilarious coming from a wolf whore!"

"Take your best shot! After that...you won't be walking g for some time and your friends will find it funny that a girl beat your damned ass!" Emerald quickly pulled Shadow's chair backwards bringing it down and wasn't fast enough to dodge her angry brother's fist.

Shadow froze as she got on a knee ready to strike Palisade. Palisade tried to cuddle his little sister who moved away from him. Shadow managed to get her arms around the fragile Changeling. "I'm so sorry Emerald that you had to see that side of me. I promise you that I'll watch my tongue."

Lock-Bolt and Chrysalis ordered Shadow and Palisade to the office. "Palisade we'll start with you." Chrysalis began, "You know better than to ask that question; furthermore, your father and I will look into seeing who your friends are. We've noticed an increase in your level of disrespect." Lock-Bolt turned to address Shadow.

"Look kid, I know what he asked angered you, but that temper of yours is volatile and must be reigned in." Shadow nodded and responded.

"Yes sir, I'll try to do better in the future." Lock-Bolt looked at his wife and the pair broke off into a corner to discus the correct disciplinary actions.

"Chrysalis, I know this is going to sound unfair but Palisade is was raised better so he must punished harder - I say we ground him for two months and no phoneo or computer privileges or any social fun."

"It sounds fair for him. For Shadow I don't know what to do with her. Shadow got dumped by her birth parents at the age of eight! We have to tread lightly I hear that Twilight had assigned Sunset Shimmer to be Shadow's case handler. At any rate should we ground her for a week or two?"

"Two weeks should be fair, she just came under our roof." When the punishments were told to the offenders Palisade not happy.

"She gets grounded for two weeks! That isn't fair!"

Chrysalis was on her edge of patience, "Palisade! You were raised better and had both parents in your life. Therefore, more is expected of You. Now hand your phone over!" Palisade soon stormed off to his room.

"Ma'am, sir, feel free to increase my punishment if it means making things fair."

"Look," Lock-Bolt began, "You're a grown adult, we had to do something so Palisade didn't think you were getting off easy. Besides, you never really had your parents in your life."

"I know, I feel like Palisade knows something about me...it's the way he called me a whore. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I feel like he knew what I was once."

"We'll have Stonewall dig into his brower history on his phone and computer." In her head, there was one thing that had her scared for this family and it was worth a contract of fifteen years and a missing sum of six thousand Equestrian bits.

Meanwhile

"We have to find that bitch! Shadow owes me six thousand bits and still has thirteen years on her contract! When I get her back I'll beat the hell out of her and I'll rape her until she begs for me to stop and promises me that she'll never leave or ask anything from me again!" A figure screamed into a dimly lit room where ten males were video recording their misdeed of forcing a woman to have sex with them to upload to a site of ill report.

"Boss, when we find her I say we load her up on drugs and alcohol and maybe some caffeine to keep her awake and that way she suffers more. Shadow has the most views and downloads on her videos than any other slut we own. Hell one of her top fans is a cop's son named Palisade."

Assignment

"Twilight Sparkle, I am giving you the task to find someone who can redeem Shadow; I know I'm asking a lot, but all I ask is that you read her file first, then see if you want to try to salvage this wolf's soul."

"I've followed her trial and everything and the way she killed is too horrific...Fluttershy is too timid and I don't want to risk anyone. However, I almost want Applejack to try, but she has Applebloom to worry about." Twilight said as she twirled her phone, and just by chance, she glanced at a wall and saw the photo that Pharynx and Thorax had sent. "Celestia, I think I know someone who could handle Shadow...I think there are two people! I'll ask Pharynx and Chrysalis about it."

Celestia nodded and mentioned that Tempest could do the task. Twilight contacted all three and summoned them to the throne room. When the three people arrived and were brought up to speed, Pharynx offered to try first. "I'll try to make progress, but I don't make any promises. People like this wolf need a firm hand, and I'll ensure she gets it." Tempest voiced her thoughts.

"Pharynx, don't be too hard on her. We don't even know her back story! For all we know, we could make her worse than before." Everyone was busy voicing their opinions and the proper way to handle Shadow. Chrysalis finally took the floor and spoke.

"We may not know her story, but I can be firm and gentle simultaneously! I raised kids, and Shadow is simply like raising a troubled teenager. I'll take her to my home. My kids might be able to break through to her. My youngest could be the key to bringing Shadow out of her darkness."

"Chrysalis," Twilight began, "Your youngest is the most fragile one in her family, and I don't want to see that dear kid get hurt. Shadow has the temperament of a cigarette to rocket fuel."

Chrysalis nodded, "I'm aware, but my youngest is usually left out from her siblings, and Shadow may soften once she has something to protect. My youngest is in the foyer right now, and perhaps we can let these two meet in a controlled setting and see what happens. Shadow was brought into the room and Chrysalis retrieved her youngest. Shadow now in broad daylight was terrifying to most people, her scars and her glare were unsettling; in addition, her frame although petite was muscular and well toned. Chrysalis' daughter first thing when she was introduced to everyone walked up to Shadow and looked up. "Shadow meet my daughter Emerald Joy."

Shadow glared at the short, bright eyed and yet fragile changeling and spat out, "This runt is yours? Get this bug out of my sight." Emerald Joy moved in for a hug.

"You're soft...and warm wanna come home with us? It'll be better than a prison cell." Shadow felt her ear twitch as she realized that for the first time in years that someone actually cared about her for being her. Everyone in the room were nervous because Shadow was Known for aggression especially when touched.

"Come on buggy you can let go now." Shadow said with a much softer tone. "Bugger....you just met me and you want to hug me? Why?"

"You're exterior shows one thing but maybe it's the ones with the most scars that are the most broken inside. Besides, I've got a feeling about you and I wanna see you more." The one person who never spoke in the room finally spoke up. the one person was a Draconequus named Discord.

"I do believe Chryssy that Emerald might be the one who can bring Shadow here the healing she needs." Chrysalis couldn't believe how well her youngest took to a stranger. Emerald Joy was about twelve years old and still very childish.

Shadow's prison issued shirt did very little to conceal her six pack and Emerald couldn't resist poking the firm abs. "You're strong, maybe stronger than my three older brothers." Chrysalis was moving in to try to get Emerald to behave herslef.

"I can flip a two hundred fifty pound dude so if your brothers weigh less than that then I can take them." Shadow had now knelt in front of the young changeling. "I can help you get in shape...however, I just hope you never go through what I had to go through." Emerald nodded and Shadow had the gut feeling that Emerlad wasn't naiive. Paperwork was being filled out and Shadow walked up to Princess Luna and made a request.

"Your highness...may I ask a favor?"

"Of course, what is it?"

"Can we speed up my driver's license process and can I have my car back?"

"I can see about that. What about the phone we took from you?"

"Lock it up in evidence, I've got contacts in that phone and pictures of me that I don't want Emerald Joy to see. You know that the reason you caught me was because of my drug dealing and murders. Those pictures can we have a hacker break into my old phone and wipe it clean? There are pictures of me from when I was eighteen all through twenty-one years old of me being a sex toy for people. I don't want Emerlad to stumble upon my past as a criminal and whore. There are also videos of me getting brutally raped. I know I asked for that being a whore...I just tried to survive."

Luna looked down at the now twenty-five year old wolf and nodded. "I see, you're trying to protect her. Poor choices were made; however, your parents weren't there to protect you."

"My past is a mess and I may mess up badly but I'll do my best to change. I also wanted to tell you, that my guards every day and every night would take turns assaulting me."

"Habbits do die hard, be patient with yourself and as long as you're trying we'll try to keep you out of Tartaurus. I will get the footage and I'll deal with the offenders. But for now I need you to do your best in your new home."

Shadow and Emerald walked side by side and Chrysalis spoke, "Shadow the average curfew time during the school or work week is nine o' clock at night and weekends it's ten o' clock. I'll need to get you a cellphone since you didn't want your old phone." Emerald asked why Shadow didn't want her old phone and Shadow gingerly answered the question.

"Had stuff on there I'm not proud of and my old acquaintences as well and the they're not good people." Emerald nodded and thankfully didn't ask anything else. Once at the home of Chrysalis Shadow heard Emerald asking for Shadow to share her room. Shadow felt a bit uneasy considering her past but the other kids didn't trust her.

"Emerald, Shadow might share your room but first we need to know that she can be trusted."

"I trust her not to hurt me."

"Her past dear, that's what I'm concerned about. We'll visit this talk in about two months I promise." Shadow in her mind knew Chrysalis was concerned about what her life as whore had affected her psychy. The older brothers glared daggers at and the two older sisters looked as if they wanted to kill her." Shadow soon met the father and she was terrified of him. He was a huge stallion and looked like he was ex-military.

"Shadow, come to my office please." Shadow followed him and once in the office and with the door closed Shadow panicked and cowered. Shadow was no coward but the trauma she endured to survive hit her hard. "Relax Shadow I just closed the door so Emerald can't hear us. I was told about you and Chrysalis has her fears and so as I, but, Emerald's request is unique. Why she trusts you since you two met at the most secure prison is being me. I see fear in your eyes still and as tough as you are and considering your past, I'm surprised to hear that you're going to actually try to change. Most criminals I know don't want to change. In short I'm going to let you room with my daughter....with our no closed door policy. I am also installing the rule that you two can't be alone; I'm going to give you a chance to build our trust." Shadow nodded and still scared that she couldn't look the father in the eyes.

"Thank you for this trust Lock-Bolt."

Assignment Part 2

Shadow sat at the dinner table with Chrysalis and her family and got the official introduction. "Shadow, you've met my daughter Emerald Joy and my husband Lock-Bolt. My two eldest daughters Topaz and Ruby followed by their brothers. My eldest son Stonewall, my second eldest son Palisade, and my youngest son Trident; in addition, their ages range twenty, eighteen and fifteen. My daughters ages are nineteen, seventeen and Emerald being twelve. You've met Twilight Sparkle earlier but soon enough you'll meet her other friends and one you might like is Sunset Shimmer." Stonewall had a look now of recognition for Shadow and being the dutiful older brother didn't say anything since he remembered where he had seen Shadow's face before. Shadow was given a tour of the house and the property, Topaz and Ruby offered to give the tour when Chrysalis had to take a business phone call.

"Shadow," Ruby began, "I'm speaking for Topaz and I only, we are concerned with you rooming with our little sister; however, you understand that we remember hearing about the day you got arrested and your trial - which includes your crimes. Beside theft, murder, drugs possession and distribution, car theft...mother mentioned to us older ones that you had spent some time as a prostitute. Look, we may not know the whole story which is fine; we just want you to know if you need to talk that we're here." Topaz nodded and added her thoughts.

"Sorry for glaring during dinner, I was just trying to get a read on you."

"No problems here, I'm really going to fucking try to becoming better....I've got a lot of bad habits and I really don't want Emerald to pick the up. Previously in my foster homes I wasn't really that protected from bad influences or people. I've been through some really bad things involving people touching me so I don't like being touched. Just be patient with me, that's all I ask."

Ruby and Topaz nodded and the trio walked silently for some time when Shadow had to ask a question. "What does Stonewall do for work? I ask because your mom had asked how his big job going."

"Stonewall is a white hat hacker and he's working with law enforcement to take down criminal and those involved making and distrbuting pornograpghic material. We know why you're asking, we both wanted to ask him later but he looked at you as if he recognized you. It's just us three and when you're ready you can tell our mother; were you involved in the pornograpghic industry when you became an adult?"

"I'm not ready to talk about my past with people I just met." Topaz and Ruby didn't push the point but they suspected that the answer was yes and they now wanted to know how she was." Emerald made an appearance after finishing the dishes since it was her and Trident's night. Trident had followed Emerald. Trident was only along because he wanted to be with an attractive girl and his older sisters knew that.

Meanwhile

"Dad....this project we're working on, you know that I finally tracked that pervert for your department."

"Son" Lock-Bolt began, "I can guess what you found considering how you looked at Shadow this evening. The pervert had a porn site and Shadow was on it...wasn't she?"

"She was and she had to endure was horrific. I say that we let mom know at least and whenever Shadow wants to talk about it with you that you'll listen."

"You know that we will...I have a feeling that your mom already knows somehow and that's why she is so reserved with Shadow and Emerald bunking up. I'm going to go let Shadow know and your mom that rooming arrangements need to be changed." Chrysalis had just walked in after she was given the okay to enter. Chrysalis was brought up to speed and she said that she knew already.

"Shadow told me earlier, when I tried to give her a welcome hug. Normally if this situation was with a normal girl I'd be comfortable with leaving her and you boys alone...but with what I knew earlier and now this; I fear if I get to leave you alone she may have a PTSD flare up. I know she's unstable inside, I really don't want to trigger any of her bad memories if I can help it. Pharynx or Tempest might have been a better option for this task...they're both single."

"Mother, Pharynx might become a PTSD trigger! He's not the gentlest person around. Tempest though similar, she might also somehow trigger a flare up."

Topaz and the Others

Shadow felt like she was actually home, she felt safe for the first time in her life. However, her scars served as a reminder of where and what her life dragged her through due her choices. Looking at Emerald she intended to keep the kid safe; "Shadow don't mess up and hope and pray that your past doesn't come back! If your past comes back...you have someone who could get hurt badly in your life now." Shadow thought to herself and Trident kept trying to hold her hand.

"Look dude, please keep your hands to yourself. We're strangers and I don't like people touching me....AT All." Her emphasis came with her fangs showing slightly. Topaz and Ruby gently separated the two. The pair knew from what Shadow had told them before the two youngest joined them that distance would be the best choice. Emerald came running up and placed a sunflower around Shadow's ear and it simply massive and Shadow tried to balance between her ear and against her head.

Topaz wanted to ask just for curiosity, "So how often do you work out? We're not as ripped as you are but Ruby and I like to do some cross-fit training with our friend Sunset Shimmer, we're down a team mate and we have three days to get our fourth...want to join our team?"

"I'll think about it, I'll let you know in the morning." Shadow replied. Shadow was already thinking on it and it did sound fun; "This could be a bonding thing if I let it be."

Shadow & Sunset Shimmer - Intel

Shadow found herself sitting in a police cruiser with her handler Sunset Shimmer. "I was assigned as your handler due to a case I'm working on and your name appeared on the list."

"I heard about the dead deputy and your informent as well. My pimp is on the payroll of a fucking feline named Kilo normally she pays or blackmails people to do her killings; however, if it's a revenge kill....she does it herself and they're usually unnecessarily brutal and bloody. That's what I've heard anyways. I'd be safer with Pharynx or Tempest to be honest. You must know that I'm one loose end she will want dead; if she doesn't kill me then my pimp will try to recollect his asset that got him the most money. The. murders I was charged with were for her or my pimp. My drug dealer I worked for never had me kill anyone for him but he was ready for me to do so. The day you bring Kilo down....I want to be the one to kill her. If it came to it I'd get back in just to be a plant for you. I also heard that your lucky breacher Silvermoon got taken by a sex trafficking ring."

"She did, and we can't find her anywhere."

"Sunset Shimmer, tell Celestia I'm in, Silvermoon probably never mentioned it, but I'm her older sister and shit just got personal and I'd wager the fuckers who took her are trying to get me back."

"Does the name nickname 'Slaver' ring a bell?"

"My old pimp, he has Silvermoon doesn't he?"

"Yes he does and we're on fritz on trying to get her back."

"You do realize that before she hits the market she will be broken first and I won't go into the details but Silvermoon will need therapy for months or even years. I got dumped when my parents my mom got pregnant with her - I was the daughter of infidelity while Silvermoon was the one born from my mom and dad having sex. Knowing my parents, or the best I can recall, they never prepared my sister for the concepts of how depraved someone can be."

"We got Stonewall's reports from Palisade's phone and computer and he's in contact with Slaver. Furthermore, he loves your videos."

"Which ones?"

Sunset Shimmer hesitated to answer then finally replied, "The ones where you got beaten to an inch of your life then assaulted and raped by fifty perverted bastards. Why do you ask?"

"Then we need to find Silvermoon moon sooner than ever! Since we look alike she'll be headed for that usage. Slaver will break her personally and he has this awful tendency to pretend to protect you from the others and once you feel safe he'll destroy you."

"Thanks for that Intel that will be crucial for us to know. How long does he usually wait before he abuses and rapes his victims?"

"Well normally six months, but since you got this close to him he might do her this week or maybe at best three weeks. If I don't leave Chrysalis now, Ruby and Topaz are in danger with me here - Slaver doesn't let anyone bring kids into his hell. Kilo on the other hand is different she has no morals of any kind, I met her once and she is the personification of evil, she blew a kid up because it had unknowingly walked off with something of hers and lost it; you know where that went. If she catches me before Slaver does, she'll torture me for months and when she kills me....she'll dissect me alive and cut me up. Sunset, promise me that if Celestia won't let me help catch Kilo and Slaver, that you from this point forward watch your back and anyone you care about. Kilo will come after all of you."

Meanwhile

"Palisade your father and I are appalled that you enjoy this perversion. Stonewall is still sitting in his desk chair traumatized; sure he's seen everything that the porn world has to show but this time he knows the victim."

"I personally don't feel remorse, going to have me arrested or something?"

"Son" Lock-Bolt began, "I won't arrest you yet, if you were to suddenly go dark these criminals will know that I'm on to them and actively hunting them."

Sunset Shimmer and Shadow

"Sunset, I hate to say this but we should let Palisade stay active on that porn site and disgusted I'm suggesting this but let him be active so that way if they break Silvermoon sooner than expected she'll be up in the site for viewing."

"I'll let Lock-Bolt know what you have planned, and I'll ask Celestia about you joining the hunt. we should hear by tomorrow what she decided."

Family Holiday

Shadow stood in front of a changeling with dark red almost crimson highlights in her hair and definitely looked like she weighed one hundred eighty pounds....one hundred eighty of almost pure lean muscle. "You must be Alloy, Ruby and Topaz asked me to squish you. Wanna spar now or after we've gotten to know each other?"

Alloy smirked, "Down to business already, I like you already and let's get this done now so we can enjoy the day in peace." Both young ladies removed their jackets and their muscular and yet attractively toned bodies were barely hidden by their t-shirts. The fight began and as it progressed Alloy's training from her parents was evident; however, Shadow's experiences in her street life were evident in the way she fought. "Come on Shadow just yield already!" Alloy said chuckling as she could see that she was most likely to lose the match."

"Buggy, I ain't surrendering, I've got ten pounds on you plus most of my life in experience."

"Cute, I've got at least four inches of height on you." Both girls were gasping for air and exhaustion. After an hour Shadow stood victorious and Alloy was on the ground just laughing that she had just lost her first match. Shadow offered her hand and when Alloy took she dragged Shadow down and and pushed off into the now very nearby swimming pool. Completely soaked Shadow reached reached for a pool noodle floating nearby and began to best Alloy with it.

Alloy tried her best to out swim the now armed wolf. Stonewall gave his hand to Alloy to help her out of the water but held her there for Shadow to catch up. "Sorry cousin, I don't want to get bit." Stonewall pushed his cousin back into the water and the waiting pool noodle of Shadow. Trident and his male cousins gawked as Shadow climbed out of the pool and her drenched shirt clung to her body.

"That was fun Alloy, probably the most fun I've had in years."

"Same, we should spar again sometime, you provide the challenge I need to get better. I might have some clothes that'll fit you, my cousin Trident is gawking....most of the male cousins are gawking at you. If I were a lesbian, I'd make a move right now."

"What's holding us back?" Shadow wasn't a lesbian as far as she knew but here she wouldn't mind it. Alloy was hell attractive and Alloy gave her a smirk - both girls were apparently sharing brain waves and thought it would be funny to proceed. Alloy moved first and before Shadow could properly react was kissed by Alloy.

Chrysalis and Lock-Bolt were ready to move in and break the pair apart since Shadow hates being touched. Ruby and Topaz were dying from laughter and Stonewall was chuckling and trying to keep a straight face. Emerald Joy screamed, "I knew it Alloy! I knew you were into women!" Trident and his cousins turned their heads in any other direction but toward the pair kissing in front of them.

"Crazy bug! Now everyone is going to assume I'm lesbian and our sparing match is like a shared kink!" Shadow hissed under her breath.

"You're into me I know it."

"In your dreams! Your parents looked appalled right now."

"That's their 'you went too far on your prank' look. They're fine."

"I knew the 'if I were a lesbian' statement held some truth in it, so be honest with me, are you a lesbian?"

"I just told my parents last week, and they said that they kinda expected it. I've tried dating men and they all stood me up or dumped me...had a couple cheat on me."

"That sucks, I'm surprised that your folks are letting me here considering my past as a criminal."

"They're firm believers in giving second or third chances. Considering I've always been more tomboyish in my activities and everything, they'd probably let us hang out. I'm sure that if we really tried to kill each other earlier, you'd obviously would beat me. I see the scars and as someone studying medicine, I betting some of those scars or defensive scars. Hell I'm changing the subject before I cross any lines, hungry? The food looks like it's all set up and ready to be consumed." The pair walked over where the family had gathered and Alloy's parents pushed Shadow to the front of the line.

"Guests first dear!" Alloy laughed and Shadow still being shoved to the front grabbed her nearest body she could reach and it happened to be Emerald Joy.

"Shadow, my cousins wanted me to relay this message to you."

"What message?" Shadow asked as she made her food choices.

"They wanted me to tell you that they consider you as family already, even though we're not even related. They believe that family is either by blood...or who you choose to spend time with. They wanted me to also tell you that your the cousin they choose."

"Tell them thank you for me, and also tell your older cousins that this is the safest I've felt in a long while." Alloy had finally caught up and let her presence be known.

"We already know, well know that you spent time in Tartarus but we don't care about why. Stonewall said that I should get a rabies shot if we actually become an item."
Emerald Joy laughed just because she knew that Shadow could be aggressive. Alloy laughed because she had seen Shadow's teeth up close and personal. Shadow just chuckled.

"That weirdo, at least I've had bitten anyone for about six months and counting." Alloy and Emerald couldn't tell if Shadow was serious or not. Ruby and Topaz joined the trio and they found a shady place to sit and eat. "Who wants to start betting that I could hold my own against Pharynx?"

"You beating my dad sounds like a fun wager, I'll pass the word via text and we'll see if my dad takes the challenge. Pharynx took the challenge and even though he won, Shadow made him dislocate his left shoulder to do it. Shadow was sore and bruised and crawled into a nearby lawn chair.

"Alloy, why do I feel like this was revenge for beating you in our match and then with the pool noodle?"

"Well duh! Because it was silly wolf!" Shadow made a poor attempt to whack the changeling with a pillow hrst had been in the now occupied lawn chair but stopped as her sore body objected. Alloy and Shadow laughed Pharynx grimaced as his shoulder was relocated and he spat out something about getting old.
