//------------------------------// // Going against his promise // Story: To Lose A Friend // by BumbleFlow //------------------------------// A few days pass, and Bumble Flow arrives in Flutter Vye. She is at the train station, keeping her wings closed, and covered. to make sure no pony gawks over her being a princess. And the fact she is too shy to talk to any pony has taken over too, so she quickly goes to the castle where Spectre is staying. She bows down to King Spectre when she enters his room, with the crazed mare standing by his side, with a worried look. " Hello King Spectre, and young mare. " She nods at the young mare. The mare nods back, as if they knew each other, or were having a silent conversation. " So Bumble, you must be tired from travelling, right? " The mare insisted, knowing she might be hungry also. " Yes, but not too tired, anyways, Dark, you wanted to discuss something? Right? " She looks at Spectre, and then goes up to him, he sternly glares at her, but she just happily smiles, not being so bright. She sits by him, on his other side afar from Psycho. Spectre just nods, trying to not show that he is quietly giggling to himself. " Hehe. Yes, we need to discuss, haha, some business. " He put emphasis on the word business, for he knew what was going to happen. He then orders the crazed pegasus to go and get Piff, at the sound of this, Bumble's ears perk up, " Piffy will be here too? Stupendous! " Piff walks in, with something of a dagger at his side. Bumble is curious at why he has it, but doesn't question, " Hey Piffy, it's been forever! " She jumps and quickly hugs him before he could say anything. Knowing what his task was to do, his eyes filled up with tears, but he dare not cry. Piff lets Bumble go, and he appoints to her " Bumble Flow, I need to speak with you outside. That is why Spectre had you brought here.. " Bumble Flow could tell something was not good, so she looks over at this insane tyrant, he nods, with a slight smirk on his face still there. They walk out onto the balcony, " Bumble Flow, Spectre in there has gone completely insane, and.. " The not so young mare wondered what has happened while she was gone. " Okay, what is it that has changed around here? " She asked this so she could be up to date with the kingdom. " Oh.. Where do I begin.. Spectre is the new ruler-" " Yes, I know this. " Bumble interrupted him. He was fine with it, and continued. " He has lost his mind completely, and makes all the ponies in this falling kingdom work their flanks off day in and day out. There are a select few like me, and that mare besides him that don't have to suffer as much as the others do. " He looks down off the balcony to see the ponies below working, starving, and not living in peace like they used to, no laughter. No fun. " Ah.. I see.. Anyways, why is it I was called upon? " Bumble inquired, wanting to know why she has anything to do with this, she was living happily in the EverFree alone, no disturbances, no other ponies. " I was given a horrible order, but I do not want to carry it out. So, I need you to fly, fly away immediately. Go! " He yelled at her, she was scared, but still curious on why. " B-but why!? " She screamed back at him, " Shh.. We can't have Spectre hear. I need you to go, because he ordered me to... T-to.. T-to kill you! " He said it very quickly, and now Bumble Flow looked at him terrified. She immediately began to fly away, tears in her eyes, she was going the fastest she could, which was only a bit slower than Rainbow Dash, but not by much. She quickly reached her home, ran inside, and began to hide. Getting that off his chest, Wizzle now did not know what to do, either to face his King of which he betrayed, or run away along with Bumble but to a different location, fearing he might have hurt her.. A lot. He chooses to run away, he quickly runs and jumps off the balcony, opens his wings and darts out of that horrible Kingdom, a mark over his cutie mark still showed, a crown with hoof chains below it was covering his cutie mark.
