It was 2:00 AM when Rainbow made it back to the dorms, and when she got to her room, there was someone waiting for her. “I knew you’d come back.”
“How’d you know bitch.”
“Come on, how’d I not know where my big sis is. She was my role model… as a kid. But that’s over now that I know the truth.”
“I suppose you know where I went too then. Stalker.”
“Why in the hell would I stalk a murderer like you when I have all the evidence I need?”
“What evidence?”
“You said it your self. You work for the Rainbow Factory.”
“And people would believe this, why?” She could see the sweat beading on Speed’s forehead. She had him right where she wanted him. All she had to do was prove he couldn’t prove her guilty. “You don’t even have proof I said it.”
“Crap” he murmured to himself. Why does she have to be so smart sometimes? Now what do I say?
“I thought you might not want to work for me any more, so I’ve found you another job like this one. Pays better too.” She said glaring at him, waiting for him to leave.
“Why didn’t you take it then?”
“I have all the money I need. Besides, this is where I belong, where I’m destined to be.”
“Destined to what? Murder more children, maybe even in this school? Why would I let you do that?”
“I’m quitting. Come next shipment of fillies, I’ll stay here. ”
“That still doesn’t prove you won’t kill these kids”
“Why would I kill them when their classmates might notice? Come on, you know I can use my common sense.”
“You haven’t shown it lately. Have you ever thought what they’d do when they saw you missing?” It was now Speed Demon’s turn to make his partner sweat. It was his turn to finish her off, and he had plans to do the job better.
She only had to think for a moment or two before answering “When they find out, they come to attack me.”
This caught him off guard. “What about the students? Surely you wouldn’t put them in danger.”
“This training serves dual purposes, if I remember correctly. Moves for style and fighting” She said, satisfying her point. “Good night.” she called back, but Speed Demon had already left.
Waking up, the two young lovers kept their promise to their teacher. All they did was go to class together. Other than that, they shared no other social contact.
The whole week seemed to be filled with battle training. It was as if they were preparing for some kind of battle. It wasn’t until later in the week until they heard what they were getting ready for.
“Hello students.” the captain’s voice resonated from the intercom. “As many of you have noticed we have been doing a lot of combat training lately.”
“So we’re not the only ones getting it.” Scoots whispered to Sky, their punishment being over. She couldn’t even remember what the punishment was for.
“I would like to let you know there is reason behind this.”
“I should hope there was. How are we supposed to work together if we can’t talk?” It was Blitz whispering this time, but with a mouthful of food.
“We have been notified that the school will be attacked sometime this week. We’re not sure when, but it could be at any time. Even over the weekend. We will alert you when we know more about the situation. Thank you for your time, and you may resume your dinner.”
As soon as the intercom crackled off, everypony started talking.
“What’s goin’ on?”
“Who’s attacking?”
“Why would they attack a school?”
Sky Blitz and Scootaloo would have loved to say they were as clueless as everypony else, but if they did, they’d be lying. The fact was that they did have a thought as to who’d be attacking and why.
‘My sister works for the Rainbow Factory.’ The words rang in Blitz’s ears, seemingly haunting him. I have to be dating the one girl whose sister not only is the captain of the Wonderbolts. She also works for a facility that kills helpless young pegasi. What the hell have I gotten myself into?
“You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’?” He asks his marefriend.
“Eyuuuuuuup” She answers
“Should we go somewhere else to talk?”
“Eyuuuuuuup”
“Let’s go then” he said. He wrapped his wing around her as they went to dump their trays and went up stairs to discuss the inevitable.
“Really? The Rainbow Factory staff?”
“Why not” asked Scootaloo rhetorically
“What reason do they have to?”
“Somepony from here quit?”
“Do you think your sister quit?”
“For our safety, yes. Anyways, who else could it be?”
