Everything is burning. My ribs, my stomach... A burst of agony, a rapid kick into my already pain filled form. A stamp, an audible yelp escapes my lips. One lands on my thighs, making my eyes water. There's already a lot of cuts there, seeing as I've been using my knife for a couple of weeks now. Chrysalis laughs at me, before kicking me again. Her face looks malicious as she carries on her attack.
"So, Monster, concidered killing yourself yet?" Chrysalis asks, snidely. Yes. I have. Every day, I think about it. It seems...the best choice. I'm just afraid. What if someone found me before I died? It would mean failure...again.
"S...stop." a voice instructs. I look up through blurry vision and see Fluttershy.
"The monster deserves it." Chrysalis snaps. Fluttershy then does something she's famous for, the stare.
"Leave her alone!" she instructs, stepping in front of me. Chrysalis gives a last hateful look to me, then walks off. Did not see that coming. Fluttershy offers her hand to me, concern written across her face. I accept the help.
"Thanks Fluttershy." I say, winsing slightly. Her kind intervention is surprising but her kindness is her main trait.
"Maybe we should tell Luna and Celestia about this." she suggests. I shake my head.
"It'll only annoy them." I say. "Besides I deserve it."
"No one deserves to hurt." she quietly replies, looking at me seriously.
"I do." I whisper, my eyes flickering to the floor. I'm surprised when she hugs me, gently.
"You don't." she states, gently. She reaches into her bag and takes out her bunny. I think he's called Angel.
"Here, hold this. Holding a bunny always makes me feel better." she says.
"Why you being so nice to me?" I ask, as I hold Angel.
"I don't like seeing people upset." she replies. "Besides...they could've really hurt you!"
"Thanks Fluttershy." I say.
"No problem." she says, leaving. For the first time since the Fall Formal I smile.
