- >It's cold.
- >It's also quiet, but you're used to that.
- >Canterlot streets are always quiet when you're out working.
- >This p0ny on your back is heavy.
- >You don't stop though.
- >Dad would be angry if you were late. Plus he wanted to get his hooves on this colt right away.
- >He HATED this Stallion.
- >Must have broke one of the rules.
- >You broke his horn a bit.
- >You hope dad won't be too angry with you.
- >Your knee hurts. The left one.
- >Probably from when this colt on your back bucked you during the struggle.
- >You tried to hold the rope tight enough. Nice and tight and stay upright. Just like you were told.
- >That made sure nop0ny could reach you while you choked them out.
- >You messed it up though...you're a bad...whatever you are.
- >Dad will be angry about having to call the doctors again.
- >He hated anyp0ny seeing you.
- Caclick. Creeeeeek
- >"Hey! Who's out there!"
- >Oh no!
- >Light!
- >Somep0ny must have seen you and come out to look!
- >Stupid! Stupid Anon!
- >Run. Just gotta run.
- >Your knee hurts.
- >This Stallion is heavy.
- >You can't stop though.
- >If you get caught. They'll take you away.
- >Dad will stop loving you.
- >You love Dad.
- >The sound of approaching hooves passes beneath you.
- >Your escape was made by scaling a nearby cobblestone wall.
- >You're really glad a...whatever you are is real good at climbing. Even with a hurt leg.
- >You drop down, the street makes a soft rumble from your weight.
- >You're too big.
- >"What was that!?"
- >There they are. The p0ny that almost caught you.
- >They stopped after passing your hiding spot underneath a street lamp.
- >The light looks warm.
- >You wish you were warm.
- >You wish you could go into light like p0nies do.
- >"H-hello?"
- >They sound scared.
- >"I s-saw you limping from my window."
- ...
- >"You looked hurt and-..."
- >They should be.
- >"I thought you might need he-"
- CRACK
- >That p0ny.
- >A mare looked like. Green with a yellow and green mane.
- >She almost made you break a rule.
- >Don't be seen. Ever.
- >You're a good...whatever you are. You don't let anyone see you.
- >If they do. You make sure to hit them like Dad does when you break a rule.
- >...you hit a lot harder than Dad.
- >After a very long time walking outside, you're finally home!
- >You can see dad!
- >Just in time too. The sun was starting to rise when you got back.
- >If you were ever outside with the sun...
- >Dad would yell...and hit you.
- >He doesn't want you to burn up.
- >So he hits you. To make sure you know how to be good.
- >Dad's best butler. Fancyhoof meets you right inside your special door.
- >You're too big for p0ny doors. Too clumsy too. So they made you one special. It says something on it but you can't read.
- >You wanted somep0ny to teach you to read once...but Dad got mad.
- >'Only P0NIES read. Stop trying to be a p0ny. It's pointless anyways you're too stu-'
- >You're too stupid to learn to read.
- >Fancyhoof says nothing as you drop the Stallion Dad wanted.
- >He never says anything to you. He just collects the p0nies you’re told to bring and takes them to Dad.
- >He does raise an eyebrow when you drop the mare from earlier.
- >His brows furrow in consternation. He knows Dad didn’t ask for a green mare with a yellow and green mane.
- >He only wanted this unicorn colt.
- >He’ll tell.
- >Dad will be angry.
- >You whimper. Fighting the urge to speak. To apologize and ask him not to tell.
- >You used to talk all the time. Dad showed you how bad that was.
- >That’s why your teeth are so crooked now.
- >That and you just being ugly.
- >You’ve never seen yourself but you know it’s true.
- >Dad says so.
- >Fancyhoof didn’t take the stallion you brought. He just ducks back into the kitchen nearby.
- >That’s bad.
- >“What do you MEAN it brought in an ex-…”
- >Dad’s here.
- >“Y-…you didn’t.”
- >You whimper again. Shrinking back toward the darkest corner in the room.
- >“M’lord. It’s appears to be mare. I believe she attended your last suare’. Seafoam is her name I belie-”
- >“Get the Buck out of here Fancyhoof.”
- >“Yes M’lord…shall I?”
- >“Yes. Get rid of her. No evidence…the plans for Stinkyrich remain the same.”
- >Dad points a hoof toward the Stallion.
- >“Be sure the message to his brother, Filthy, is sent in the morning.”
- >Dad seemed calm. He was always calm when he handled business.
- >Fancyhoof leaves though, dragging both p0nies on his cart.
- >Dad’s not calm anymore.
- >He hit you…so much.
- >‘YOU’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING RIGHT!
- >I HAVE ‘ONE’ USE FOR YOUR MASSIVE FLANK! ONE!
- >YOU CAN’T EVEN FOLLOW! SIMPLE! RULES!
- >‘THAT BUCKING SLUT WAS CONNECTED TO ME! OF ALL THE BUCKING MARES IN THE CITY!’
- >You cowered. Whimpered. You even ran to the other corner once to escape your punishment.
- >That was a mistake.
- >‘WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING!?’
- >That’s when he got the switch out. He swung it with his magic while hitting you.
- >You deserve it.
- >You were bad.
- >…but it hurts so much.
- >You do what you’ve always done. Cover your face and get small. As small as you can.
- >Knees at your ears. Back curled like an armadillo. Blows to the shoulder and back hardly hurt anymore. You’ve been hit there a lot.
- >Dad still draws blood though. He doesn’t stop until you’re covered in it.
- >Dad finally stops once he’s tired.
- Huff…huff
- >“You…’gasp’…useless bucking chimp.”
- >He called you something.
- >Is that what you are. A chimp!?
- >You look up at Dad.
- >You don’t know what made you ask.
- >You didn’t mean to be bad again and speak.
- >You just did it.
- “Is that what I am Dad? …a ch-..Cha-himp?”
- >Dad looks angry again…but he turns around like he’s leaving.
- CRACK
- >You’re stupid.
- >He wasn’t leaving. He was turning around so he could buck you in the head.
- >Everything’s dark.
- >You’re head’s spinning like it always does when he hits you too hard.
- >You hope you don’t forget your name again. Or your favorite color.
- >You can barely hear voices.
- >“Dump it somewhere.”
- >“M’lord we’re not even sure if it’s-”
- “Urrrrrgh”
- >“Dead. It’s clearly not dead.”
- >“That can be quickly remedied…”
- >You can feel a hoof on your temple. You must be laying on the floor.
- >“M’lord…”
- >“Are you about to question me Fancy? You should be well aware of the consequences of ‘that’.”
- >IT HURTS
- >YOUR HEAD HURTS SO MUCH!
- >“M’lord it’s simply that…well Stinkyrich is waking up. Dawn has arrived and the search parties shall be on the move by at least noon.”
- >The pain stops. Dad speaks through the haze.
- >“Hmm…I suppose this asset hasn’t become toxic enough yet to waste such precious time on…”
- >You can hear hooves clopping away.
- >“Throw some of the dishwater on it at dusk. I’ll have another job for it then.”
- >“Shall I call for the doctor sir?”
- >“…it has lived through worse.”
- >“Yes M’lord.”
- >You hear kitchen staff walking into their work area as the door closes. Dad has his ‘in front of people’ voice on.
- >“Good morning all.”
- >The staff responds in chorus.
- >“Good morning Prince Blueblood.”
- >Everything is a blur of pain.
- >It's always like this when Dad hits you too hard.
- >It's like you're asleep, but can't dream.
- >Everything hurts.
- SPLASH
- "Bwah! 'ack'"
- >You're awake.
- >You're wet.
- >"Ah good. You've survived."
- >Fancyhoof
- "M-muh...my hea~d."
- >You groan.
- >"Myes indeed. You've most likely suffered yet another concussion."
- "Uhhhhhhg"
- >"He's waiting in his study. You should hurry."
- >Just like always, your legs propel you upward.
- >It used to be hard to get up when your head hurt like this.
- >Not anymore.
- >Fancyhoof looks scared for a split second when you stand.
- >"My, you 'are' gargantuan."
- >He shouldn't be.
- >You can't hurt someone unless Dad says so...or unless they might catch you.
- >Fancyhoof is safe.
- >Dad likes him.
- >"Come."
- >He barks.
- >"Mustn't keep his lordship waiting."
- >This is the most Fancyhoof has ever said to you.
- "Ok..."
- ...
- >You’re too big and clumsy for the hallways p0nies use to get around Dad’s mansion.
- >So you have a special one of those too, just like your special door to get inside.
- >Dad says they also keep anyp0ny from seeing you. He hates having to get rid of servants.
- >You guess that’s good then. The hallway keeps you good and lets people work.
- >Dad says work is good.
- >That’s why you work for him. Delivering the p0nies he hates.
- >…you need to be useful.
- >“Here we are.”
- >You and Fancyhoof have come to your other special door.
- >The one that leads to Dad’s study.
- >Fancyhoof pulls the secret lever. Something whirrs and humms inside the wall.
- >Then it slides back.
- >“Yes. Come in Anon.”
- >Dad.
- >He finally looks calm again.
- >You like Dad when he isn’t angry. His eyes stop being scary. Plus they’re nice and blue!
- >Blue is your favorite color.
- >“I awoke him with the dishwater as per your request Prince Blueblood.”
- >“Excellent job as usual Fancy.”
- SGRRRRRRRRRRGH
- …
- >You’re hungry.
- ...
- Dad told Fancyhoof to get you fed before sending you out.
- >You love breakfast. Lunch and dinner too if you can get it.
- >It's so different from everything else you have.
- >It's dark when you wake up so the servants are out of the breakfast hall.
- >You get to sit at a table and everything!
- >Dad says you need lots of food to stay strong.
- >You need to be strong to be useful.
- >You HAVE to be useful.
- MUCH crunchmuch *burp* GLUGLUG much
- >Fancyhoof has gone back to being quiet.
- >That's ok. It's hard to listen and eat at the same time.
- >"Fancyhoof sir. Oi've brought that pallet of bisquits his lordship requested. Shall I bring them in?"
- >"Nono Hank. That's quite alright. His lordship wishes to gnosh in private."
- >Fancyhoof shoos the servant away before they try to enter.
- >No one's allowed to see you.
- >That'd make you bad.
- >Suddenly a tray of fresh bisquits enters the edge of you vision, joining the rest of your feast.
- >Scrambled eggs.
- >Wheat toast.
- >Hot Oatmeal...
- >...and your favorite.
- >MEAT!
- >Sausage. Bacon. Ribs. There's even steak today!
- >Twice as much steak as usual.
- >Sometimes you wouldn't get any steak at all.
- >'I can't be sparing such a hot commodity purely to fill that gluttonous gut of yours.'
- >Dad liked to sell meat.
- >Gryphons liked it he said.
- >Especially the kind he had to sell.
- >He said it was special.
- >You don't really care.
- >You get ALL the leftovers though.
- Gnossssh! Shhllluurrrp. MUNCHMUNCH crrrrrRACK!
- 'Whump'
- >Ohhh yeah. The insides of bones were the BEST.
- >...You think Fancyhoof fainted.
- >>
- BOOM!
- >"Wha!? Who!? Wher-"
- CRACK
- >"AYYYYYEEEEEE!!!!!! HELP! HEL-"
- WHUMP.
- CRACK!
- SNNNNAP!
- >...
- >...
- >Job's done. Time to go home.
- >This time Dad gave you weird instructions.
- >He told you to kill two p0nies but only bring back one.
- >You think you're a good listener.
- >Yep. The pretty mare is dead, neck snapped just like Dad wanted.
- >The Stallion she was in bed with is still breathing.
- >You didn't hit him that hard. Just real well in the horn.
- >Unicorns always stay down after that.
- >Oh wait.
- >Can't stand and think. Gotta get home to Dad!
- Knock-Knock-Knock
- >"M'lord! Hoity Toity sir? Are you alright?"
- >Oh no! Dad didn't say anyp0ny else would be in the house!
- >Time to hide.
- >The rafters of the bedroom are in arm's reach. You pull up to them with ease with the stallion draped across the back of your neck.
- >"I'm coming in!"
- Crrreeak
- >"Sir?"
- >P0nies can't see very good in the dark.
- >You remember sometimes when you'd be right behind one, or right in front.
- >"Sir? Where's the damn lamp!"
- >They never see you.
- Whoosh
- >"Oh my sweet Celestia..."
- >Not until it's too late.
- Drip.
- >Red splashes across the pajama clad servant p0nie's muzzle.
- >Hoity Toity's head! It's still bleeding!
- >"What...in the hoof..."
- >The Butler turns, agonizingly slow. He looks up.
- >...He sees you.
- >"Mother of Tartarus."
- >Goodbye.
- WHATHUMP!
- >"AHHH! GET OFF! GET! OFF OF ME!"
- >He struggling the same as all p0nies. Hooves squirm and wiggle like a snake on fire. He's panting and twisting his neck to avoid your grip.
- >He knows he's as good as dead if you get a hold of his head or neck.
- >Doesn't matter.
- >Nop0ny ever gets awa-
- WHACK!
- >PAIN!! PAIIIIN!!!
- >You fall over, gripping your groin.
- >This has never happened.
- >Why does it hurt!?
- >You can't breathe.
- >You can't see.
- SLAM! Clipclopclipclop!
- >"HEELLLLP! SOMEONE HELP! THERE'S BEEN A MURDER! MURRRDEEeeerrr!"
- >...He got away.
- >Somep0ny got away!
- >You have to chase them...
- >You still can't get up.
- >You can hear voices.
- >"What happened!?"
- >"IT'S STILL UP THERE!"
- >"I'll get the guards!"
- >Alot of them.
- >You can finally stand.
- >Can't fight.
- >Gotta run.
- >You pick up Hoity Toity and toss his body over your neck like before.
- >Must be a good...thing.
- >Must get home.
- >Your bad place...it hurts so much.
- >The walk home took a lot longer than normal.
- >There were so many p0nies in the street!
- >Even the fliers were out.
- >You had to hide specially well when they came by.
- >It's still cold.
- >You wish dad would let you wear clothes.
- >You can't though.
- >'None but the finest of p0ny society are ever fully clothed, Anon. You're not even a p0ny. Why would a thing like you need clothes?'
- >You don't know.
- >You just know you're cold all the time.
- >Cause you shiver a lot.
- >Until you hurt somep0ny...or get home to your special room and your blanket.
- >You miss them both right now.
- >You hurt so much...
- >"HEY! I think I see it! Up on the roof!"
- >LIGHT! TOO MUCH LIGHT!
- >"Circle it men! Surround the building on the street! Pegasi move in!"
- >Gotta run!
- >You have to run. Have to stay away from the light!
- >Dad said you'll burn up in it.
- >You don't have any fur.
- >'Not even feathers or scales! Of course you'll burn up! Stay the dark my er...boy. Make sure no one sees that 'dreadful' face of yours. For all our sakes.'
- >You run as hard as you can.
- >Your bad place hurts.
- >You jump, crawl and swing from the chimneys!
- >Your bad place still hurts.
- >You drop down into an alley once or twice. You can't stay on the ground long though, the p0nies down there catch you very quickly.
- >...your bad place REALLY hurts.
- >"It's headed for the castle! ALERT THE CAPTAIN OF THE CUTOFF POINT!"
- >They won't stop yelling at you.
- >"THIS IS YOUR LAST! WARNING! DROP THE P0NY AND STOP! NOW!"
- >You can't stop though.
- >Dad wouldn't love you if you were caught.
- >Or burnt up.
- >You smash right through a dividing alley fence.
- >There's splinters in your arms and face...
- >You don't care.
- >There's so much noise.
- >Your legs run on their own. They know each path through the cramped Canterlot alleys.
- >You almost made it home.
- >Home where it's safe.
- >Home to Dad.
- >You just want to be warm.
- >You didn't make it past the castle gate though.
- >You broke right through a fence, rushed toward the gate just to smash your face into something you couldn't see.
- >"By Celestia what IS that thing!?"
- >"Stay sharp men! I'll seal it within the shield!"
- >There's somep0ny in front of you.
- >Every light the pegasi were carrying is pointed at you now.
- >It's so bright it hurts.
- >"Alright you...thing."
- >Everything hurts.
- >"Just put the Stallion down..."
- >It makes you confused.
- >"...and nop0ny else gets hurt."
- >Your eyes snap open. The cruel light stabs into them until sight returns.
- >You should be burning now.
- >Dad said if anyp0ny saw you in the light you'd burn right up.
- >You notice the stallion in front of you is a unicorn.
- >"Can you understand me?"
- >He's white...purple mane."
- "Too...bright."
- >You mumble through clenched teeth.
- >The p0ny looks shocked that you spoke.
- >"IT CAN SPEAK!"
- >He yells back toward the guards at the gate.
- >The splinters in your arms and face are starting to sting. Almost as bad as your eyes.
- "Too bright!"
- >"Bring another contingent around! Surround the courtyard! Bring rope! No-..."
- >He glances back to you.
- >"Chains!"
- >Chains? What would he need those for?
- >He isn't listening about the light.
- >"Alright. You whatever you are."
- "TOO! BRIGHT!"
- >Your voice erupts out at him like a cannon. His blue mane and tail shoot straight out as if in a windstorm before he's dropped to his flank.
- >Your skin tingles.
- >"Captain Shining! Are you alright sir!?"
- >The air around you seems more purple.
- >"We have it subdued with magic sir!"
- >Some of the guards are rushing toward the white unicorn.
- >They're not surrounding you.
- >RUN!
- >Just like that you're off again, vanishing into the dark.
- >The dark is safe.
- >You can't burn up here.
- >That tingling must have been what burning feels like. Good thing you got away.
- ~Narrator Pov~
- >Gaurd1: "By the sisters...it just ran off!"
- >Gaurd 2: "I thought you had it pinned with magic."
- >Guard 3: "Who cares about that? The Captain's injured!"
- >SA: "No. No I'm fine I just..."
- >Shining Armor shook his head in disgust, trying to clear his vison.
- >SA: "That damn thing's breath reeked so bad I lost concentration of my shield spell...at least we know why it's been snatching p0nies."
- >Guard 1:"How so sir?"
- >SA: "I know the smell of rotting meat well enough soldier."
- >A grim silence befalls the nearby search parties that overhear that tidbit. As if the fate of any and all missing p0nies had just been made far too abysmal.
- >SA: "Summon the night guards as well as the auxiliary watch. We need the whole city looking for this...thing."
- >Guards: "Yes sir!"
- >SA: "Make sure we get some warning posters up...and inform the guard of your weakened magical hold on it. This monster needs to be approached with caution."
- >When you finally made it home, dad wasn't there.
- >Fancyhoof said he had to be away. Official buisness he said.
- >You know what that means.
- >You're in trouble when he gets back.
- >Fancyhoof took HoityToity from you at first.
- >That made you happy, atleast part of what you did right will make it to dad.
- >"Urrrrgh..."
- >"I say...you left him alive?"
- "Uh huh."
- >"Where...wha?"
- >"This simply won't do. Did Prince Blueblood instruct you not to kill him?"
- >"Blueblood?.."
- "Dad said to bring him back."
- >Your answer is short. You like short answers.
- >"Hmph!"
- >Fancyhoof hates them.
- >That makes you like them more.
- >"I swear m'lord can train the hairless ape to speak, to fetch meat, even to sit heel but MANNERS! Oh Celestia no, that's just too hard!"
- >You like it when Fancyhoof acts all huffy.
- Caclink caclink.
- >He's chained up Fancyhoof to your corner.
- >That's wierd.
- >"Until M'lord returns I'm sure you'll be safe right here."
- >"Blueblood...you bucking fiend...Fleur?...Fleur where are you?"
- >HoityToity looks sleepy.
- >Must be the bash to the head and loose horn you gave him...that's a LOT of blood.
- >You're getting hungry.
- >HoityToity really does look sleepy.
- >He's groaning and rolling his eyes around a lot too.
- >He smells really good.
- >Like dad's kitchen ponies.
- >...he smells like food.
- >Your favorite food.
- >Meat.
- "I killed her."
- >Hoity seems to find his wits quickly at the sound of your voice.
- >His pupils turn to pinpricks as he flails about, his hooves scramble to put his back to the wall.
- >He's looking back and forth a lot. Never at right at you.
- >Oh right. Ponies can't see in the dark like you do.
- >"WHO'S THERE!?"
- >He still smells like meat.
- >"WHERE AM I!?"
- >Wierd, he looks angry now instead of scared.
- >"What did you DO to my Fleur!?"
- "The mare...with you in bed."
- >You lean towards him. You can feel the meager light from the slightly cracked kitchen door across your face.
- "She screamed. I broke her neck."
- >Hoity smells like piss now...and he doesn't look angry anymore.
- >"What in the hoof..."
- >Hoity gulps hard.
- >"Y-...you're that thing. The one Blueblood talked about."
- >You cock your head like you've seen cats do. You didn't know dad talked about you to other Ponies.
- >"I thought you were just some fillytale he drummed up to scare ponies out of opposing him."
- "Ah...pose?"
- >You weren't fond of new words.
- >They made you feel stupid.
- >You were.
- >Not the point.
- >"I...yes. Oppose. To go against? To fight?"
- "Fight..."
- >You knew that word.
- ~Flashh baaack~
- >"C'mon you shaved Go-rilla! GIT-EM!"
- >You're scared.
- >You hurt.
- >"Blueblood! I thought you said this thing was a wreckin' machine!
- >"RRROOAARR!!"
- "AHHH!!"
- >You scream. You run from this THING you're trapped in the hole with.
- >It's big. As big as you. It has big teeth and big claws and wings and-
- SHUNK
- >A stinger...
- >The crowd erupts into cheers.
- >Your shoulder burns.
- "Daddy..."
- >You can't look anywhere else but above you.
- >You see dad. He won't look at you.
- "Daddy help..."
- >He can't hear you. The ponies are too loud.
- >"Honestly. You worthless chimp. How can you expect me to give a flying feather if you can't even fight?"
- >The big thing is crawling up to your face.
- >You're so scared.
- >"Yeah! C'mon yah big monkey! FIGHT!"
- >That word. The whole crowd's chanting it.
- >"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
- >Fancyhoof hands Dad a little drink with an umbrella...you know dad loves you. He just wants you to fight.
- >What's fight!?
- "WHAT'S FIGHT DADDY!?"
- >You scream to make sure he hears you.
- >Dad raises a brow at you, handing his drink to Fancyhoof.
- >The big thing has it's claws out.
- >"Anon..."
- >You remember dad's eyes.
- >You love Dad...you always know what he wants when he looks you in the eyes.
- >"...Kill it."
- ~
- >The crowd's silent.
- >You did what dad wanted.
- >The thing's dead.
- >Why didn't he just say what he wanted sooner?
- >Fight.
- >You know what it means now.
- >It's what you do while you try to kill something.
- >The thing doesn't have a stinger anymore.
- >You took it.
- >It doesn't have wings anymore.
- >You took those.
- >You took it's eyes. It's left paw.
- >...almost all of it's teeth.
- >Your shoulder still burns.
- >Darkness.
- >You remember waking up in your room.
- >Those doctors were there again.
- >They were sewing you up like a blanket.
- >"M'lord. I know this isn't our place...we're just physician's after all but this specimen is rare an-"
- >"I believe you've stated the end of this conversation already doctor."
- >Dad's was there.
- >You're happy he's there.
- >"It isn't your place to comment on what I do with my possesions."
- >Dad's leaving...you're sad.
- >"Patch it up. Then get out."
- WHAM!
- ~Present~
- "I know that word."
- >You blink.
- >Hoity just said dad uses you to hurt people who fight him.
- >He sent you after Hoity.
- >Your caveman brain ponders this for a moment.
- ...
- >Hoity cringes when you crease the twin Yeti worms you have in place of eyebrows.
- >1 plus one equals...
- >"Please..."
- >Equals...
- >"Please don't hurt m-"
- >TWO!
- WHAM!
- "YOU TRIED TO KILL DAD!!"
- >Hoity can't seem to retort. Your hand viced around his windpipe is impeding his witty remarks.
- >There's a dent in the wall where his head hit it.
- >His horn is hanging off all wierd.
- >Gross.
- >"I- ACK! PLEASSSE!"
- >He's wheezing.
- >He's crying.
- >Good.
- >Nopony hurts daddy.
- >You can see his eyes fading.
- >His hooves are slowing down.
- >Dad didn't want Hoity dead though...
- >You drop him just before your leathery hand wrings the life out of this pony's neck.
- >Hoity coughs so hard he spits up some blood.
- >That's when you notice it.
- >His breath.
- >That's where the meat smell is coming from.
- BOOM
- >"Where is he!?"
- >Dad's here.
- >You're happy.
- "Dad! I got'em. Just like you wanted an-
- CRACK! WHACK CRACK!
- >You knew you'd been bad.
- >You knew dad would be angry.
- >You just forgot.
- >You were too happy to see him.
- >"YOU...were...seeeen."
- >Dad's stepping on your head.
- >He only does that when he's REALLY mad.
- >"Blueblood! By Celestia stop this madness! For the love of all that's holy find some decency in you!"
- CRACK!
- >Dad just hit Hoity, not you.
- >Wierd.
- >"Hoity you bucking worm..."
- >You slink toward the opposite corner while Dad deals with the pony who "ah posed" him.
- >The less beating the better.
- >Dad must know how sorry you are.
- >You know he's proud for you bringing him Hoity. Alive. Just like he asked.
- >That's why he hasn't abandoned you yet.
- >"You thought you could betray ME!?"
- WHAP WHAM!
- >Dad cracks a hoof across Hoity's face and slams into the wall where you recently imprinted his skull.
- >"Blackmail ME!?"
- >WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
- >That hole is getting deeper. Hoity's horn is spinning by root threads...like when you used to lose teeth all the time.
- >"Tried to put ME over a barrel! To STEAL!"
- WHAM
- >"MY!"
- WHAM
- >"PRODUCT!"
- WHAM WHAM WHAM!
- >"Puh...Plea-"
- WHAM
- "Puhuhuhleaaaaasee."
- >Hoity is crying.
- >You've never seen a pony cry.
- >Dad said it was bad to cry.
- ~FLASHBACK~
- >Your face hurts.
- >You can't see.
- >You wanted a hug.
- >You wanted food.
- >You were cold.
- "Uhhhhuhuhuhhhh Huuuuuu!!"
- WHACK
- >The ground's back.
- >You still can't see it but it's hit your face again.
- >Mostly your nose.
- >"How pitiful. Such a massive thing filled with such weakness."
- "D-...d-d-...DAAAAdeeee-Uhhuhhh huuuuuu."
- >"SHUT! UP!"
- >You tried.
- >You really did.
- >You clamped your mouth as hard as you could.
- >Squinted and even grabbed your throbbing nose to stop the noise.
- >Nothing worked.
- "Pffffftt UhhhH!!!! Huuhhh! I- *hic* I- *hic* I- *hic* Hmm! Mmmmuuhhhhhh HuhhH!!"
- CRACK
- >"You'll learn to stifle that noise eventually my boy. One way or another."
- >You remember that day. It was the first time he ever said it.
- >Dad took your bloody chin on his hoof and raised your face.
- >You couldn't see his face but you knew he was looking at you.
- >"Daddy believes in you."
- >The first time he said he was your daddy.
- ~Present~
- >"Please Blueblood...I can't possibly harm you now."
- >"Oh I know Hoity..."
- >"You never could hurt me Hoity. Don't you get that?"
- >Dad's voice got quiet...but he's still angry. You know he is.
- >You're scared for Hoity.
- >"It's just...you disrespected me."
- >Hoity's shaking.
- >"You, a businessman. Had the gall to try and blackmail me. A royal."
- >Dad's motioning for you.
- >You don't dare hesitate.
- >"That kind of audacity has to be punished."
- >You loom behind Dad, staring into Hoity's eyes. He looks so scared.
- >"Anonymous."
- >Dad said your name.
- >You couldn't be happier.
- >You smile.
- "Yes Daddy?"
- >It's a terrible sight.
- >"This Pony tried to hurt me. Tried to hurt your...daddy."
- >Hoity looks like he's trying to wake up from a nightmare. He gulping and blinking like a fish out of water.
- >"There's good news though."
- >Dad let's Hoity go, looking to you as you stare the once noble pony down.
- >You stomach growls.
- >Dad smiles.
- >"He's made of meat Anon."
- >Hoity looks like he's been shot.
- >"Your favorite."
- >Your favorite...
- >"You...bucking animal."
- >You cock head, curious for a moment about what Hoity has to say.
- >"Buck you Blueblood."
- >He spits on dad.
- >For split second, before the sounds of Hoity's screams and your chewing. You could make out the echoes of your Jimmies rustling.
- >There's a lot of noise.
- >You're used to it now though.
- >This is place is familiar.
- >The smell of piss. Taste of blood.
- >The yelling.
- >All the ponies are yelling.
- >"SMASH EM!" "RIP HIS EYES OUT!" "KILL EM!! KILLLL EM!!!"
- >You look up from your handiwork to dad.
- >You want to know if this is ok.
- >You've never killed a minotaur before.
- >"C'mooon ya buckin' chimp! Finish em!"
- >Dad's glaring at you. At your hands.
- >"Uhhhrrrg."
- >The Minotaur's waking up.
- "Dad...what should I-"
- >"Just kill him Anon."
- >He sounds mad again...this usually makes him happy.
- >Well.
- >Dad said so.
- CRRRR-ACK! CRACK!
- >"AHHHH!!!! AHHHH!!!"
- >He's still awake.
- >That might make snapping his neck harder.
- >You thought you did good.
- >The loud fancy voiced pony talked about this minotaur a lot.
- >How famous he was.
- >How strong he was.
- >He did hit hard.
- >Not as a hard as you though.
- >You noticed he didn't have scars...maybe that's why he went down so fast.
- >You mashed his head on the ground for a while after that.
- >Then yanked his arm backwards.
- >You got distracted by his hands for a second.
- >Minotaurs were the only other things that had hands like you did.
- >It made you feel strange...like you might be normal, atleast a little bit.
- >The Ponies started yelling for you to finish it though.
- >So here you were doing what dad said...
- >This minotaur's neck is thick.
- >"AAHHHh!!! AHHH!!"
- CR-CRRRRR-CRACK! SNAP!
- >Everything else seems real quiet all of a sudden.
- >"AHh! HELLLP! HELP! SOMEPONY! ANYPONY! GET- ACK!! HELLLLP!! HELLLLP!"
- >Nopony will help.
- >Nopony stops the fight.
- CR-CRRRRRRRRACK-CRACK CRACK!
- >...
- >...
- >...he's dead.
- >You look up to dad.
- >He's smiling.
- >You smile back.
- >It's a horrible thing.
- >"MMMMMARRRRES AND GENTLECOLTS! It looks like once again! Our winner is! THE INDESTRUCTIBLE! THE VISCOUS! THE UNSTOPPABLE ANONYMOUS BEEEAAAAST! "
- >The noise is back.
- >It's ok though, because dad is smiling.
- >You lumber backward, headed for the dark tunnel you entered the pit from.
- >Right when you turn though the noise changes.
- >"EVERYONE DOWN! BY ORDER OF THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES!"
- >Screaming.
- >Everyone's screaming.
- >Your turn back just in time.
- >To see the set of hooves headed for your face.
- >You remember the face on the pony attatched to them too.
- >That blue mane.
- >That armor.
- >The guard who spoke to you.
- >Darkness.
