Chapter 5

I woke up to my mother shaking me and yelling my name and the morning. I jumped up still brandishing the sword and dagger.

"What happened, what's wrong, and why am I covered in blood."

I looked around seeing the dead bodies, then to the blades in my hands and then to the shocked and scared faces around me.

"Oh yeah now I remember um heh heh heh sorry um...."

I look around nervously and start to back away before everyone starts cheering for me.

"Um I uh what..."

My mom rushes up and hugs me tightly.

"Um mom arent yall the least bit scared of me or anything."

"Sweetheart no we have been bullied by those beasts forever and plus you found your talent."

I looked down at the back of my hand to see a target with a sword going through the center, my cutie mark.

"Huh yall arent scared? Like at all?"

"No sweetheart of course not."

"Yall obviously didnt see the fight. Wheres trixie?"

"She locked herself in the room she wont come out."

"Eeeeyup figured as much, she did see the fight."

I took the belt off of the leader and placed it on my waist and put my new sword and knife away.

"She'll be in there for awhile its happened before."

I hop back on top of the carriage and lay on the roof and stare up at the sky and fall asleep


<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>


My mom called me down for dinner. I hopped down from the roof and followed my mom over to the campfire where everyone but trixie was sitting.

"Oh forget this."

I walked over to the carriage and knocked.

"Trixie open the door."

"N-no go away."

"Trixie im comin in either way so open up."

"No."

"Im coming in now."

I could hear her moving stuff to bar the door as I jump on to the roof and through the sky light

"Would you knock this crap off now you're being an idiot."

"I'm being an idiot? You deserve to be feared you're a freak."

I freeze and my hair starts to stand on end as per what happens when I get mad.

"IM A FREAK?!?! IM A FREAK?!?!? HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT I BECAME THAT BECAUSE OF YALL I PROTECTED MY FAMILY WHILE YOU WERE COWERING ON THE ROOF. SO DONT YOU DARE EVER CALL ME THAT.YOU NO NOTHING OF LIVING LIKE A FREAK."

I walk out the door slamming it behind me and walk into the forest steam practically rising from my ears. I walk through the woods listening to the sounds of the birds and animals and trying to calm down.

"Do you really think that was necessary my colt."

"Author now is not the time you'll just piss me off more."

"Oooo such a mouth on such a little one but really was that necessary."

"Yes, no, maybe, I dont know."

a man in a long black trench coat, long brown hair, and a mask covering his face appears in front of me.

"Who are you?"

"Wow you dont recognize your dear friend whos been with you since you were born? Im hurt little buddy."

"Author?"

"In the flesh little buddy at the moment you are the only one able to see me so ill be watching over you and helping your mother out a little bit by making sure you don't get into any trouble."

"Why would i need you to watch me."

"Cause you tend to let things sneak up on you."

"No i dont."

He points to somewhere behind me and I get hit in the head with something and pass out.
