Chapter 1

The Assistant Caretaker and the Filly

He hated the Master Caretaker, or the Old Mare. He hated her for hurting these fillies and colt. Forcing them into child labor, what kind of twisted mare does that? He tried calling authorities, but the Mare threatened him to hurt the foals if he called them.

“Hey mister Care! Would you please reach that tambourine up there! The foals really want a song about the big, bad Mare! So could you?” a high, squeaky pitched voice asked the assistant.

The assistant already knew who that is, looking down to see the dark grey filly who sings to foals before they sleep, pointing to the foals by the door. “Of course Blinkie, I would. Now here jump on my back” Mr. Care told Blinkie. Blinkie quickly jumped on his back to get the tambourine up in the shelf.

“Thanks Mister Care!” The energetic filly told Mister Care as she ran to the foals waiting impatiently, the bells in the tambourine jingling as she went.

Mister Care sighed. He was deeply troubled. How could a pony…. A young filly at that matter is happy after what happened to her family? Blinkie’s family died in a horrible fire that affected almost everypony in Manedale. “HEY! CARE I DON’T PAY YOU TO JUST STAND AROUND!” Ah, the Old Mare must’ve woken up. Thank Heavens that mare was gone and now going to the direction Blinkie ran off not moments ago! The yellow stallion face slowly turned into a face of a worrywart. Oh dear! He needs to reach Blinkie before the Old Mare reaches her. He ran very fast, as fast as his little hooves can carry him. ‘Oh please Celestia! Please let me be the one to reach her first!’ He silently prayed.

Alas, his efforts were in vain! The Mare had reached her first, as soon as he opened that door! The door separating him from the Old Mare with the filly he helped so much… He saw her, with a bat. A bat she was using to hurt the dark grey filly for just singing.

“Ah! You insolent orphan! You just have to be noisy and wake me up with your horrible screeching you call a voice!” she muttered before hitting her with the bat.

“but...But!” The filly tried to answer but was hit by the bat again.

“YOU! YOU DARE TALK BACK TO YOUR ELDERS?!?!?!” The mare screamed hitting her ferociously.

This went on for a couple of minutes till the Old Mare was tired of the crying voices of the foals she was in charge and had gone to her bedroom to rest. Mr. Care quickly ran to the filly’s dying side.

“Blinkie! Stay with me!” The stallion told the filly.

“No Mister Care! I’m finally going to be reunited with my family! Please thank the Old Mare for me! For helping me see my dad’s smiling face again! For making me smell my mother’s freshly baked cookies! And for me to see my beloved sister again! Thank you for everything! Now please take good care of the foals for me! Thank you Mr. Care! Thank you...” The filly muttered her dying words before dozing into eternal sleep.

‘This is all my fault. My entire fault! If I was not just standing around! If I was just fast enough!’  The stallion thought as tears was freely flowing ‘The filly have not gotten her cutie mark yet! I ruined her dreams.. I’m a failure’.

Do it kill that Old Mare.

That voice is vaguely similar to Blinkie’s voice

Please, for me? Kill her!

Mr. Care followed the voice and went to the kitchen, took the sharpest knife and ran to the bedroom of the Old Mare.

“Sleep Tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite Old Mare” Mr. Care muttered before going inside the bedroom.

The next day newspaper headline:

COLT KILLED HIS OWN MOTHER AND A FILLY A WORK!

Stallion, Foal Care, has been arrested this morning for allegedly killing Foal Mare,owner of Everything is gonna be okay orphanage and his mother. He attempted to rape Blinkamena Pie, but the filly refused and Care hit her several times. He probably brain washed the foals into thinking he didn't do it.
