Kasuna awoke at around 8:30 AM from light shining through the window.
"Nngh..." She groaned, wiping the sleep away from her eyes. Reluctantly, she sat up and shook her head. She then turned to look at the spot where she painted over her Cutie Mark, "I just hope nopony finds out about my past... I'm finally starting to make new friends here..."
Flashback
Kasuna's parents waved her goodbye as she trotted off to school for her first day. When she got in the classroom, she felt anxious because of the glares the other fillies and colts were giving her for a reason she didn't know. Soon enough, she came to the conclusion that they were giving her the looks because she was the only blank flank in the class. Eventually, the teacher walked in and started giving the lesson.
It was lunchtime and Kassie decided to at least try and make friends, so she went up to a unicorn filly who seemed like a nice pony.
"Hi." Kas said.
"Sorry, but I don't wanna be friends with a blank flank. If you wanna make friends, go get a Cutie Mark and come back to me when you're not a loser." The filly said.
"But..." Before Kassie could say anything, the filly bolted off and snickered, obviously satisfied with telling off the blank flank. A few days later, that same filly got the whole class to go against Kassie, and it was making her so scared to return to school the next day. They made death threats out of nowhere, called her names and made fun of her due to not being able to figure out what she was good at. At some point, it eventually drove the poor filly crazy.
One day after school, she told her parents she wanted to be a pegasus, and they didn't mind. So they got mechanical wings stitched on. Not too long after the surgery, she decided to sneak out into the Everfree Forest, not knowing what would happen there. Soon enough she met what she assumed was a Timber Wolf. She had red eyes, a red scar-resembling mark on both of her eyes and a red horizontal cresent that looked like it had wings on the ends. Her ears were bigger than normal Timber Wolves, and she didn't have the exact same features as the Timber Wolf Kassie saw on a family trip before. She was mainly light gray, save for the fur around the cresent, that being a dark gray, and her paws and the end of her tail were white. Kasuna jumped back and screamed, not knowing what the wolf would do.
"It's fine, filly. You shall not die. Even I don't eat young foals." The wolf said in a voice much like Princess Luna's.
"A-are you a Timber Wolf?" Kassie asked.
"No, my child. My name is Glitch, I am a wolf, but not a Timber Wolf." She stated. Kas smiled knowing the wolf wouldn't kill her.

Kasuna sighed. Just remembering those times hurt, save for the night she met Glitch. But she really hoped nopony would find out about her outburst last year.
Flashback
"BLANK FLANK! BLANK FLANK!" Six years. Six. Years. And they were still mocking her. They kept making fun of her and chanting 'blank flank' in attempt to drive her crazy. Which apparently worked.
"JUST SHUT UP, WILL YOU?! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU MAKING FUN OF ME FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT MY SPECIAL TALENT IS YET, AND JUST. STOP." She screamed, moving closer to the class of young mares and stallions who were mocking her.
"Ohhhhh, little miss snowflake is getting angry at us. I'm so scared!" A blue pegasus said sarcastically. Kassie gave them all a death stare that was twice more disturbing than Pinkie Pie in a dark room with a knife in hoof.
"Say one more thing. I DARE you." She threatened.
"You ever been in crap with the cops from all your crazy threats, missy?" A brown unicorn mocked.
"THAT'S IT. YOU ARE ALL DONE." With that, she ran off and grabbed a knife, but hid it under her wing. When she came back all of her classmates pretended to be scared when she pulled the knife out.
"You're all dead." She threatened again.
"OH, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME KASS, I'M VEEERY SORRY FOR MOCKING YOU!" The blue pegasus said, stepping forward while trying not to laugh. Kasuna muttered something under her breath as she prepared to charge at him with the dagger. Without warning, she did just so, and ended up stabbing him in the head, splitting his skull open slightly. Everyone in the room gasped as they saw the pegasus struggle to push Kas off of him, but suddenly go limp soon after. She turned to the rest and gave them a deadly glare. "Anyone else wanna try?"
Soon, there was basically a war in the classroom, one mare destroying the other classmates. One pegasus stallion had his wings sliced clean off, a unicorn mare had her legs snapped and slashed into multiple times, an earth pony was slashed in the throat and laying on the ground with a puddle of red liquid quickly appearing below him, and another pegasus had her stomach torn right open with her heart half sliced off and a few bones broken and laying on the floor. About an hour later, all the ponies who made her angry were dead on the floor of the classroom, and a teacher happened to walk in and see her with the dagger. The teacher ran up and grabbed her by the throat and tied her hooves back so she couldn't hurt anyone else, and Kas struggled to stand her ground when she was violently dragged to an asylum. By the time she was there, she figured out what her 'special talent' is. But the bad thing, it wasn't something she wanted to be good at.

Kasuna shivered as she remembered that day, it was horrible. That was when she was mocked and called a mental patient, which she was at the time. She looked down at her flank again and decided to make her own Cutie Mark. She went downstairs and grabbed a paper and pencil, and drew a few ideas for Cutie Marks.
"I like this one a lot." She said as she looked at one that had a pencil and a paper with a drawing on it. "I'll use it." After she said that, she grabbed the paint and recreated the design on her flank so she wouldn't be thought of as a blank flank again. When she finished, she quickly put everything away after washing it out so that if Red was to come by early, he wouldn't be suspicious. Good thing is, she did it just in time, because he came by the window again.
"Hey." He said after she let him in.
"Hi..." She said in a saddened tone.
"What's wrong?" He asked curiously.
"Nothing, I'm okay..." She stated.
"Okay, I guess..." He was hoping someday in the future, she might tell him why she was a little depressed...
