Chapter 7

    I heard crying coming from the childrens bedroom when I walked in the horrors started to unfold in my mind.   Claw marks covered the walls with blood splattered on the floor the kids were in the corner clinging to each other.  I look closer at them covered in blood I picked them up and brought them to ponyville’s medical clinic.

“Well they aren't hurt but why were they covered in blood?”

“I don't know doctor thats what im about to find out” the rage started to flow through my head.  I could feel the adrenaline flowing through my veins

“thank you Doctor Hooves take care of them while i'm gone.”

“ Ok “ as I took off I heard in the distance

“hey wait you can't!”   I was flying faster than I  had even before even faster than when I was a wonderbolt.  The anger and sadness fueled the fire in my heart to find who did this.

As I reached the house I walked back into the room to examine what had happened.  Once again my mind started to race where is she and is she ok were my two biggest concerns.  The claw marks on the walls is what puzzled me the most Dashie being a protecting mother must have tried to fight whoever it was off. I noticed a trail of bloody hoofmarks  going out the door they were the exact size of Dashies I followed them.  When the trail ended It lead to the end of the cloud around our house slightly confused I walked back into the house and into the kids room.  When I saw the brown feather on the floor I knew who it was and where she was

“GILDA!”  My heart raced as my blood began pumping through my wings as I flew to her house.

When I got the house I crashed through the ceiling with ease and stood on the floor looking at Gilda with hatred and sweat dripping down my face.

“Where is she!?” I demanded answers

“Well well well looks like you caught me” a chuckle came from her as she threw Dashie on the ground in front of me.

“You're going to regret you ever messed with my family” I took the knife out of my saddlebag

”Before I kill you why did you come back!?”

“I came back to finish what I started three years ago.”

“What do you mean?”

“Ever since the day I saw her with you she never talked to me again and if I couldn't have her neither could you!”

“YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!” As I lunged forward at her the talons dug deep into my left shoulder I winced in pain and lashed back stabbing the knife in her neck. The blood spewed out as I twisted the knife cutting a major vein in her neck.  She began to choke on her own blood but the fight was far from over. She screamed and lunged at me I barely dodged her talons.  I kicked her with my back legs sending her to the ground I saw my opportunity. I ran over and wrapped my legs around her neck choking her.

After her body stopped shaking I threw her off to the side and rushed over to Dashie.  I held her head in my lap brushing my hoof through her mane

“im sorry im so so sorry.” A tear ran down my face and dripped onto her cheek suddenly a cough broke the silence. A faint voice followed

“Blaze?” Her eyes opened and stared into mine.

“I thought I lost you”

“I couldn't leave without saying goodbye” I kissed her and put her on my back.

“Lets go home Dashie” as I started walking home I saw rose in the distance

“Blaze!”  When she came closer she was out of breath and immediately put half of Dashie on her back and we began to run to the nearest hospital.  When we arrived two nurses took her off our backs and strapped me to a gurney. I felt a sharp pain from a needle in my neck and started to fade slowly into a deep sleep.

When I awoke I looked around the room my head spinning I could see Rose on the left and Dashie on the bed next to me.

“Rose how did you find me?”

“when I saw you come in I tried to stop you but you didn't hear me so I followed you.”

“Is Dashie ok?”

“She is fine a few scratches and bruises nothing major but you on the other hand.”  I looked down to the shoulder that Gilda had stabbed not seeing a leg.

“she had poison in her talons so we had to amputate your leg.”

“So I will never walk again?”

“You will be walking tomorrow on a brand new prosthetic leg!”

“You can do that?”

“The princess insisted we do it for you with no cost for you and your family.” Just then Dashie woke up and walked over to my bedside and held my right hoof.

“We are going to put you to sleep again when you awake you will have your new leg!”Another needle is put in my neck and I drift to sleep.
