Just a Scratch…

Chapter 1:

Just another Day...

“Hello, Miss Scratch”

“Guten Tag, Professor Opium.” Vinyl replied calmly to her chemistry professor as she entered his classroom and took her seat in the front row of desks.

“Miss Scratch? Are you feeling alright? You seem... distant...” Professor Opium asked Vinyl quietly.

Vinyl gave no physical sign that she had even heard what her professor had asked her. He carefully and cautiously nudged her shoulder with his hoof in an attempt to get her attention. All he heard from Vinyl was a quiet sniffle; he then attempted to look at her face to see her facial expression, but was not given the opportunity due to her long neon blue mane covering her face.

“I can’t do this... Not anymore.”

“Miss Scratch? Is everything alright?” Opium began asking Vinyl once again, his concern for his student’s condition quickly growing.

“No...No... They WILL fucking witness the world for what it is... They WILL feel my fucking pain...” Vinyl began talking to herself quietly, not hearing a single phrase or word Opium was saying to her.

“Vinyl, please step out into the hallway to collect yourself, take your time. Relax, okay?” Opium said realizing that Vinyl probably had a lot on her mind.

With that Vinyl stood from her desk and turned for the hallway, but was interrupted by her Professor.

“Vinyl, everything will be alright. Things WILL get better. Okay? Just please stay optimistic.” Vinyl then nodded, and left the classroom to sit and think in the hallway.

“Vinyl, Vinyl!” A familiar voice began calling to her, she looked up to see the source of the disruption of her thoughts. She then recognized the pony that was speaking to her as the she walked closer to her; she was also walking with a stallion of which she did not fully recognize.

“Ugh... What the Hell do you want Arceo?”

“I just wanted to talk.” Arceo said calmly with a smirk on her face. “So, why aren’t you in your class? You know you’re literally just a few hoof steps from the door,

right?”

“I don’t give a fuck right now,” Vinyl replied with deadpan voice and tone, showing that she wanted to be alone at the moment.

“Hmm... Well then, while we’re here, I might as well introduce you to my coltfriend. This is something you’ll probably never get to experience.”

Vinyl then stood up and brushed the dust and dirt off her from sitting on the floor for so long. She then stared deeply at Arceo, contemplating her options of what she should do.

“What the Hell are you going to do Vinyl? IF YOU’RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING THEN FUCKING DO IT!”

     Vinyl then hooked her hoof with as much force as she could directly into Arceo’s nose. Immediately, there was a loud a loud cracking noise, and Arceo was on the floor of the hallway bleeding profusely from her nose and mouth. Vinyl then took Arceo’s mane in her magic and forced her head and neck through the classroom door’s window, immediately shattering the glass and attracting the classroom’s attention. Vinyl then pulled her away from the shattered window and stared into her eyes.

“I’ll see you in Hell, Arceo.”

Quickly after saying that, Vinyl took a shard of glass that had fallen from the window when she pulled Arceo from the window, and held it in front of her face, before changing the position of the shard and digging it deeply into Arceo’s throat.
