I'll Do Anything for You Teaser · 5:22pm Dec 22nd, 2022
Teaser after the break!
Brick poked his head into yet another dark room and looked around, listening for anything that would give Scootaloo away. He felt drool drip down the knife as he stalked forward, the blade held firmly between his teeth. The tips of his wings bristled, ready for a moment’s action in case he got caught. Where is this kitchen that she spoke of? Did she lie to me? he thought, pushing down yet another snarl. This wasn’t the first time he’d wondered such a thing, for it felt like he’d spent too long down here as he pushed open yet another door, never revealing his quarry.
He spit the knife into his left hoof as he snuck inside the last door in the hallway, pushing the door shut with his right wing. He sat down with a grunt and looked around him, finding himself in a windowless closet. Shelves of various jars lined the walls of the small room, barely big enough for a few ponies to stand in. The sounds of many, many hoofsteps all trotting to a silent beat echoed from above him, making him worry. “Getting too hot down here…” he muttered to himself.
He poked his head out of the door, looked both ways, then slunk back out into the cold the way he came in. He took to the skies once more, trying to gain as much altitude as he could. Brick finally found another cloud big enough for him to hide in, and as he dug into the cloud, he kept his eyes locked on the windows of the castle. A minute passed, then two as more and more lights sprung to life inside the castle. “Heh, guess that wench told someone I made it inside.”
Movement near the top of the castle caught his gaze. He was barely able to recognize Twilight’s purple coat color through the snow and the foggy windows, and as he watched on, he could have sworn he saw others with her. “Figured she’d lie to me. She probably went right for that starving rat of a pony and told me to go to the other end of the castle.” He pushed himself up, preparing to do what he promised his wife when a lightning bolt flashed mere inches in front of him, the following thunder making him tremble like a little girl. He nearly dropped the knife out of sheer fright, for if he had taken flight one moment earlier, he would have been struck down and turned into a burnt chicken.
This chapter will come out as soon as I finish the next one for my patrons. My patrons will get the next chapter after this one (because they already have access to this one) in a day or two, then I'll release this one after Christmas.
