Chapter 10
Hard as a rock
(Senario two)
You watch her intently. Her breath was very shallow. You had a hard time even thinking about sleep. Pulling your hind knees up to your chest you wrap you forelegs around them tightly. Making sure you had a secure hold you began to rock back and forth. 'It's all going to be fine Amy!' You hoped you were right. You heard a mumble behind you and whip your head to see AJ had just rolled over in her bag. With a sigh of relief you turn back to your sister. 'Hang in there!' Her breathing slowed just slightly but you noticed. Counting beat for beat you made sure her breathing didn't slow. Just this little bit scared you. Hopping up and moving over her body you look. She was sweating perfusely. You look around for a rag. Nothing. You spot a piece of clothing a few feet away and rush to grab it.
On your way back you see Twilight get up. She trots over to you and sit down as you wipe the sweat from Amy's forehead. "How is she doing?" Twilight said picking a bit of the cloth up herself and rubbing her gently. You didn't stop your work to answer. You couldn't even if you wanted to. Your lips were sealed from sheer pain and terror. You work intently until a thought crosses you.
"Can you make her better?" Your voice was a hush. A mouse could have squeeked louder than you and nopony would ever have known you said a word. Twilight stopped for a split second. 'Oh no! Hesitation...' The silence was very heavy. Usally at this time of night there was all sorts of animals out and about. 'Where are the now?' Twilight hesitated again. Just a milisecond but your attention to detail at this moment was to high to let it slide. "You can't can you?" A hoof rested on your shoulder. You notice Twilight had stopped. Looking out of the corner of your eye you notice her face was grim. When she caught your eye her head spoke for her. The shake screamed to you! 'I can't stop death... I can only prolong it...'
You hooves worked a little harder. You had a very gentle touch but when you cared this much you find yourself working to hard. Her breathing was becoming gasps. You turn her onto her back and push on her chest gently trying to get her to get the air she needed. Her gasps shorted and soon became non-existant. You hung your head as tears dropped onto her limp body. Twilight wrapped her hooves around your chest for a supportive hug. You felt the tears dry instantly. Getting up and brushing Twilight off you began the journey to town.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Twilight yelled at you. You stop and turn your head ever so slowly. Her face turned into pure horror. You knew the face you wore all to well. Emotionless. Eyes empty of all love and hope. You felt your heart turn to stone. It weighed very heavily in your chest. It didn't bother you. The extra wirght felt great as if you had been rejuiced somehow.
"Tell Fluttershy I will miss her very much... I would like to say goodbye to each and everyone of you... I don't have time... I have 'things' to do..." She listened to your deathly tone. Nothing. No emotion could ever penetrate you now. You had no heart or soul. You turn back to the road and heard a soft sobbing. You didn't care anymore. It was time to pay daddy a visit.
On your way to toen you notice a poster with a help wanted ad on it. It was for a bakery in town. 'Dad is gonna need a new job. Again silently you work your way to town. At the edge you begin to dart your eyes side to side. Nothing would jump you but it could always be a possibility. Your hooves didn't make a single sound as yu approached the pony in front of you. She was a small petite mare. Her coat was a blacker one with a main that was straighter than an arrow. It had a grey stripe in it other than that she almost blended in to the darkness. Grabbing her and pulling a small knife you picked up on the way here held to her throat you dragged her to an ally. She wimpered the whole time but knew screaming would be useless.
"Please don't hurt me... I'll do what ever you want!" You set her down with the knife still at her throat. ou asked her to turn and face you. "You... You know I can turn you in now... Right...?" You nod slowly and take a deep look into her eyes. Blood red with a hint of a firey amber around the edges. She would have been a beautiful mare if not in this situation. You put the knife against her skin raising a hoof to your mouth in order to shush her. You motion your head out the ally and she takes a look to see to gaurds wandering around. "How? How did you know they were over there without looking?" Her vice was quiet. Clearing your throat slowly you lower the knife a little.
"I'm going to remove the knife now... I want you to answer a few questions... You will be free to go after... Report me if you wish... I have important buisness first and then I willl submit..." You lower the blade slowly and she visibly begins to calm. Holding the blade out to her she begins to shiver again. "Take it..." She stops shaking and gives you a very confused look. "I said, take it..." She reaches up and grabs it and throws it further down the ally. "Thank you... Now I want two questions answered and you can live your life without ever seeing me again..." She slowly nods and sits after seeing you do so. Taking a deep breath and sighing you clear you throat once more. "Have you see my father?" You give her a very detailed description of him and find her nodding.
"Yeah, I have. He took that job at the bakery. He seems like a nice fellow... Why?" She gave you a hard look. "Your the house fire kid?" You give a slight nod. She gasps and you close her mouth with noth of your hooves. Making the shishing motion again you let her go. "Why do you care where he is? I thought he hated you?"
"He does... But he caused the fire that killed the rest of my family so I'm going to kill him... Now do you know where he is staying?" She shrugged.
"Most say he lives in the bakery... Others, the streets... No pony truly knows where he is." You look away and nooded. 'Of course...' You thank her and begin to walk away. She stops you making you turn. "Why did you force me into this ally and not just ask?" Your smile had death writen all over it. She fell silent for a second.
"You would have attacked me and ran off... I had to get your full attention and co-operation..." She sighed and stood up and advanced towards you. Brushing up against youy your eyes widen. 'What is she doing?'
"Stop by and see me at my shop... Its the Gardening Hut... I'll give you a place to stay until the heat is off of you... I can say this with a small amount of trust in my soul... I have never met a pony in these parts willing to be honest about anything..." She pressed her lips against your gave you a sly smile and parted ways. Giving you a small flick of her tail before disappearing in the gloom. 'Now time to find daddy...' You held an evil grin.
Walking to the bakery you peak in the windows. Sure enough your father was there sleeping on the waiting bench. You give the door a slight tug and it props open. You smile grew greater now. Sliding in with ease you slinked over to your father's sleeping form. 'Time to wake papa and tell him of my bad dream...' You chuckle at the thought of your colthood. Waking mom and dad to tell them of a nightmare just to dnuggle in between them.
Placing a hoof on his shoulder you give it a hard push. "Huh! Whaa? I'm up Cookie... I'm up!" He rolled off the bench and rubbed his eyes. "Huh? Why are the lights not on?" You smiled as you pulled him to his hooves. "Hey! What do you think your..." He trails off as he looks into your cold dead eyes. "Impossible..." You shake your head give him a hard sock across the face. He falls to the floor and soon regains a footing. "You ready for another beating son?" You smirk at the snide comment.
"I think its time for your beating..." You voice as cold and soft as death sent a visible shiver down his spine. You took the oppertunity to jump up and bring a hard hoof down on his skull. There was a loud CRACK as you made impact. He shook it off but was a bit wobbly on his hooves.
"Oh.. You in for a world of hurt now boy..." He reared up and sent a hoof right into your jaw making it dislocate. You didn't break eye contact as you replaced the jaw to its proper position. He was now scared. "What are you?" You laughed as you gave a hard uppercut sending him up which opened up your next target. You pounded away at his chest and stomach. He began to spasm a little when you finished the small barrage. "You think that hurts?" He asked wiping a bit of blood from his mouth. "Let me reteach you pain!" He sent a hoof toward you. You easily readjusted and grabbed it flipping him over. He landed on his back very hard. The wind being knocked out of him you walk over.
Looking down at his gasping mouth and wide eyes you smile as a bit of blood fills his throat. You deliver a hard punch to his chest. Bones break with ease and the sound fills your heart with a sliver of joy. He began to gasp louder as his lungs began to slowly fill with air. "I'm going to make you sufficate just like the rest of my family. His eyes were wide in horror. Tears streamed down his face as he tried to move to snag you leg. You laugh at the feeble attempt and pin the useless leg. You bring you head down and get inches away from his face. "How does it feel? How does it feel to know you murdered the ony ponies who gave a rat's ass about you!" Feels great doesn't it!? Because it sure doesn't for me!" You stomp his leg making him gasp harder in pain making his lungs fill faster. You could see the blood running up from his throat.
You turn his head and let the blood pour out. 'Sorry Coockie... You got a hell of a mess to clean...' You stand over him until you knew that he was dead. Putting a hoof on his neck anf feeling for his pulse you felt nothing. Nothing. Your whole life has been nothing but hate and self regret. Now you have acted on it and don't even feel the slightest ounce of regret.
Turning around and walking out the door you slowly walk to the Gardening Hut... When you get there you see the door is unlocked and you walked in. A light was on further down in the store. Walking over to it you find a small hallway. At the end was a door with light shining through it. You stalked over to it and turned the handle. Your evil smirk widens as you spot a dark pony tied to the bed with a gag. You close the door silently behind you.
