Saving Him
"So..... This is your house?" Rainbow asked, looking up at the place Drake said he lived at. The house looked old, dirty, had a lot of broken windows. The house barley looked like it was in any condition to live in at all.
"Yeah.... It's really not that great." Drake admitted. This made Rainbow Dash even more suspicious.
A dad that isn't too nice, living in a house like this...... There is something going on, I'm going to find out what. Rainbow thought to herself. She looked down at Drake, who was trying to get the door opened. Rainbow didn't know why, but she felt like she needed to protect this child somehow.
I wonder if he would like to come back to Equestria.... Rainbow thought to herself, before quickly shaking those thoughts away. No, he has a father here........ But with this house, I'm just not that sure. Her thoughts where interrupted, when she heard the sound of the door clicking open.
"Finally, sometimes this thing doesn't want to open...." Drake said, as he looked at the door, with an annoyed look. Rainbow hovered next to him.
"Are you sure it's alright if I stay here, kid?" Rainbow asked, and Drake nodded.
"Of course it is, I just hope my dad doesn't mind." Drake replied, as they both walked into the house. The actual walk to the house, was not an easy task. Rainbow had to find certain places to hind, due to all of the humans walking around. She would have to sometimes go behind a trash can, or go up into the sky.
"Wow...." Was all that Rainbow could manage. The house was a complete wreak. Beer bottles were scattered all over the place, the furniture was broken, there was broken glass on the floor, along with a frame of a picture. She picked up the picture, and saw a man, with a girl. They both looked happy.
"Are these your parents?" Rainbow asked, and Drake nodded.
"Yeah, that's when my dad was happy..." Drake said. He remembered the other night. He had killed his mom. He didn't mean to, but because she was not strong enough to go through birth, she died soon after having the child.
"Kid, is it just you and your dad....?" Rainbow asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Drake asked, and Rainbow shrugged.
"Just curious, I guess." Rainbow replied. Her stomach then let out a small growl, indicating that she was hungry, and needed food. Rainbow blushed with embarrassment. "Sorry, I guess I'm a little hungry." Drake nodded.
"Want me to make you mac and cheese?" Drake asked, and Rainbow gave him a confused look.
"I've never heard of it before." Rainbow Dash said.
"Well, I can make some for you, if you want...." Drake said, with a warm smile. Rainbow thought about it. She was hungry. It might be good for her.
"Sure, kid." Rainbow said simply. Drake smiled, as he went into the kitchen, and got out the small bowl of Mac and Cheese. He didn't have the box kind, he only had the bowl kind. He pilled off the wrapper that was on top, pulled out the wrapped cheese powder that was in there, and poured water into the bowl. He put it in the oven for three minutes.
Once it was done, he poured the cheese powder into the water, and began to stir it with a spoon. Once done, he grabbed the bowl, and brought it over to Rainbow, who was now sitting at the kitchen table. She stared at him, with shock in her eyes. He was really good at cooking.
"Wow, this looks good." Rainbow commented, as she stared to the cheesy noddle's . Drake handed her a spoon, and she took it with ease. She made her first dip into the noddle's, and pulled it out with a handful of them in it. She took the spoon, and put it in her mouth. She felt the noddle's, mixed with the cheese in her mouth. It was one of the best things she had ever tasted.
"Kid, this is one of the most awesome things I have ever eaten!" Rainbow said, with a huge smile present on her face.
"I'm really glad you like it." Drake said, with another smile. Dash took another bite, then another, then another, until it was all gone. Rainbow looked down at her chest, and saw she had gotten some on herself.
"Sorry, I guess I've gotten some on myself." Rainbow said, with an embarrassed smile. "Do you have a restroom that I can use?" Drake nodded, and pointed to the third door on the right. "Thanks." Rainbow said, as she dashed off to the door. Once she was inside she was shocked.
The bathroom wasn't a complete mess, in fact, it was really clean.
"Wow, this is a..." Rainbows voice trailed off, once she looked at the mirror. There was a giant crack in it, with some dry blood on it. Rainbow let out a little gasp, before having a determined look on her face. "I'm going to have a little "Talk" with Drakes father." Rainbow said.
Meanwhile, Drake was waiting in the kitchen, when he heard a noise that he feared everyday. His dad's pickup truck. He looked at the door, with horror in his eyes, as his father burst the door open. Rainbow heard the burst, and looked at the source. She couldn't see it, but she could tell that it was a door being forced open by someone.
"There you are..." The voice of a middle aged male said.
"Dad...." Drake said, before Rainbow heard a sudden smack, and a thud. Rainbow opened the bathroom door, and saw Drake's father on top of him.
"You know, I haven't had a good time since your mother died...." He said. He then put his hands in Drakes pants, and Rainbow knew exactly what he was trying to do.
"HEY!" She shouted, grabbing his attention. He didn't have time to react, as he was suddenly punched square in the face by Rainbow. He fell back, with shock clear on his face. He looked up, and saw a not so happy looking Rainbow.
"What the-" He didn't have time to finish, as he was punched again, making him fall back once more.
"You sick disgust! How could you do that to your own son?!" Rainbow asked, looking at him, with a glare saying that she would have no problem killing him there. As she got closer, Drakes dad became more panicked. He looked at the small table that was next to him, and saw the plate that he left there the previous night. He picked it up, and smashed it against Rainbows head.
She fell back, with pain emanating from the side of her head. Drakes father got on her, and began to choke her. Rainbow, still stunned by the plate, couldn't do anything about it. Drake saw this, and looked at the kitchen table. He only saw one thing that was useful. A small kitchen knife.
"I don't care if your a talking pony, I will still kill you!" Drake father said. Rainbow was getting some of her strength back, but suddenly, she heard a noise, and felt his grip loosen. She looked up, and saw a look of horror, and pain on his face. Rainbow then noticed that Drake was behind him, and she noticed the knife in his hands.
His father fell back, as the injury to his lower back caused great pain. However, that did not stop from trying to get up again. Rainbow, knowing that she had to get out of there, quickly went up to Drake.
"Kid, get on my back." She said. Drake did as she said, and got on her back, as she flew out of the house, Drake still had the knife he used to stab his father with
