//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Outcast // by RainbowShades //------------------------------// Life has been following the same routine day after day. Fluttershy and I follow the same routine. We talk and I help her with chores. She's a good friend, my only one. Finally when my wing is healed I decide to go home. After all these days. It was twilight and dark. I fly over to my house with no noise except the howl of the wind. My house loomed eerily over me. I go inside. It was unusually quiet. "Hello," I whispered. My voice echoed all around the house. It was around twilight and dark. I flip on the switch and find my dad sitting on a chair with a knife in his hand. "Hello," his voice cut through the air like a knife,"I was waiting. By now I started to back away. "You left me all alone. I was waiting. And then I realized I DON'T care." My hooves started to sweat and I tried to make my way to the door. "Don't bother trying, little girl," his voice hissed across the room. He came at me slashing with his knife. For a moment I couldn't move. As I ran towards the door, he ran after me. He was pretty fast for a drunk. He slashed at me and I felt a horrible burning sensation all over my body. I ran out of my house with my dad still yelling, "AND DONT COME BACK" I run deep into the woods, not even caring if I was eaten by Timberwolves. As i lay down on the now bloody grass, again I cry. I wait until I'm done. And then I hear the screams. Fluttershy.
