//------------------------------// // The Seperation // Story: Abuse // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// Hazel and her family had been taken into hospital care, mostly in the Intensive Care Unit due to the severity of their injuries. The dog was quick to recover and he was kept in the Foster Section of the nearby pet shop until the owners came for him. The others were practically in comatose due to the amount of blood loss. It was a surprise to the doctors when they found that Hazel had been recovering faster than her brother or sister, like her Familiar. Her stab to the chest was life-threatening and may have killed her, but she managed to cling on for life. Soon enough, Hazel and Hester woke up. They were first the first two to come out of a coma among the family. Both were visited by Rosette and their friends mostly on weekends when there was no school. They were excused from the missed out projects and were able to do the make-up ones while looking for something to do. Hester was already able to move out of her bed but her Partner was still bedridden until the wound completely heals. Aside from the staff that regularly checked on them, the duo was each other’s only company. Eventually, the brother and sister soon regained consciousness and the duo knew that while she was watching from the TV. Spring already regained her normal and cheery demeanor, and Trey had already started wanting to play video games again. Deceptive was kept trapped in her cell in prison for years of child abuse and even attempted child murder. She was kept in solitary and labeled under, “Do Not Approach without a Group for Safety”. Soon enough, they were all discharged from the hospital. They didn’t want to go back to the Mansion as there were too many bad memories in those walls. They took what was really theirs and left the Mansion, filled with only the belongings of their mother. They decided to move into a hotel room for rent until they could already have their own homes. The older two were able to get along pretty well as they were already adults. Hazel was just a young girl who was just recently in her teenage years. Then came the rule of Knighty as he took charge over the Writers of the Fan side. He was a good leader as he maintained the peace for them all. Hazel and Hester registered themselves under the Writers group. There were advantages for being part of the Fan side. The ones who chose to be a Fan had been able to heal their wounds rather quickly, but if they have scars, it’s stuck. Then, each one had their own house already built up and ready for them to occupy. Each sibling got their own houses as they found a livelihood in each group. Still, there was the war of the Fans and Haters as it began to go from bad to worse in a way that they couldn’t be put in one room without it resulting into physical violence. Eventually, the Leader of the Antis had begun to pronounce war on them. The only trouble was that if the realm of their Wonderland had descended into war, it would be disastrous for both sides. Twilight Sparkle and an Alicorn-like Snowdrop had to find a way to keep the Fan side safe and Antis from getting to them. The most reasonable thing to do would be to cast a barrier spell that would be able to keep everyone safe. This spell was a different and unique one. When casted, the only ones who could go in and out of the barrier with no trouble would be the Fans. The Antis will keep out no matter what they try. No one would have to stay up to keep it up. The only problem was that they lacked something, or rather someone, to perform it. There were three participants needed to make the spell a success. They would need a well-known Canon Alicorn; Twilight was perfect for the part. The second thing needed was a partly-known OC; Snowdrop was perfect for the part. The last thing that was needed was the problem as they couldn’t be found; an alive, even if low-profile, Hidebrit. Earlier it was mentioned that there were two sides in the Fan side, Hider and Biter. Well, there was only one exception that made its debut and had been scarce ever since. There was a type called Hidebrit, they were a mix of Hider and Biter. They had both the characteristic of both Hider and Biter. The only problem was that Hidebrits were the rarest and only one could exist in this realm at a time. The worst part: the last one died by suicide before anyone, even him, could even find out about that. That Brony’s name was Adam Smith. The first ones who found out about his status was Snowdrop when winter came and her snowflakes found the truth. Of course, Antis tend to fear for any new Hidebrit. There was a type of thing that they could use that would mean the future of the two sides of Fan and Anti. Ever since Adam, there had been no sightings of any alive Hidebrits since. It got even worse when one of the Antis casted a spell that would trap the Hidebrit Gene and keep it dormant. The only way to activate it was for the bearer to survive an incident that could’ve been fatal twice. Lacking a Hidebrit, Twilight and Snowdrop had to find another way to keep this safe. They put up a barrier spell, but this version was a weaker one so even is the Fan side could get in, they couldn’t get out and Antis just had to try hard enough. Because of this, atleast one Brony, Pegasister, OC, or Canon Character must stay up to keep the barrier in place. Fortunately, the Antis didn’t know it yet so they were safe for the time being. It was around this time that they were able to get all of the Fan side to come into the safety of the barrier. “Just a substitute until we find one to help us” Twilight explained as the last Brony and Pegasister made their way into the safety of the barrier. Snowdrop sighed. “I doubt we’ll ever even find another one. And if we ever did, they’d be dead before we can even find out” “Have some faith, Snowdrop. And keep your snowflakes moving about to keep watch” “Won’t need to be told twice” Down below, amongst those who were moving into their new homes, were Rosette, Hazel, and Hester. Hester was lifting their luggage at ease with her levitation. Hazel’s siblings had already gone into their separate homes that were a few blocks away from one another. “So you and Hester could live on your own like this?” Rosette asked to make sure. “Hest and I always tend to act a bit more grown up than our original age, plus we managed to live by Eifos’ teaching us to make clay figurines so they should provide enough for our lives here” Rosette nodded. “Okay, but if you guys need anything, my house just across the street” she pointed to her house. Hazel nodded as Hester opened the door of their house and carried the bags inside before perching on her Partner’s shoulder. “We’ll do, if needed, Rosette” the cheeky Familiar grinned. The girl gave a smile. “Okay, see you around!” “Take care!” “You both too!” A smile on their faces, the Partner-Familiar duo went into the house to begin their new, freed life. They enrolled into the school that was around in the Fan region so they could finish their studies. They kept visits around their friends and family every now and then to maintain bonds. Still, the scars of their lives were still here to haunt them, both physical and psychological. The house was just fine for them to live in. The furniture was put there already like every house, courtesy of their Rulers. The living room was fine, complete with a couch, television, coffee table, and computer. The kitchen was already with a desk, kitchen supplies, stove, plates, utensils, water dispenser, and refrigerator. There were two bathrooms, one on the first floor, and another on the second. Empty shelves hung on some of the rooms. There were two bedrooms: One for them and one for any OCs they plan on making. It was a two-story house rather than a mansion. The house had ordinary lightbulbs rather than the fancy chandeliers in their old house. The walls only had normal paint, not the marble type of the old walls. It had natural fresh air rather than those perfumes Hazel was forced to tolerate until she got a sinus attack. They were sick of fancy stuff from their abuse so it was a relief to finally have some simplicity for once. They soon finished unpacking their belongings into place. This was the beginning of their freed life away from the torments of the past. Deceptive Beauty couldn’t get to them anymore even if she got out of prison as she was an Anti. Still, the duo was scared of the thought of her even escaping. When night finally arrived, they went up to their room. Hester lied down beside Hazel like any Familiar would do. Her Partner just held her close like she was holding a teddy bear. They needed some rest; in a week, they would be taking a test that would determine if they’re a Hider or Biter.
