//------------------------------// // Nightmares // Story: At The Days End // by theGrizz //------------------------------// "There is no greater agony than bearing a untold story inside you" Maya Angelou * * * "High Flyer, you're silly" giggled a little orang foal with a scattered purple mane looking at a older lanky looking white pegasus trying to balance a stack of plush toys on his head. "Haha" High Flyer laughed " Come on Scoots, hand me another!?" "Alright whatever you say" Scoots ran over to her toy box and retrieved a green and yellow stuffed dragon to accompany the other toys resting upon her brothers head. Scoots ran back to her brother. "Here ya go." She said smiling and handing her brother the toy. High Flyer took the toy and precariously tried to set it on top of the stack. "Almost got it-" High Flyer grumbled, reaching his hoof to the top. "There!" He smiled childishly until the toys tumbled down "Heh darn" trailing off Scoots picked up the green dragon and chucked it playfully at her older brother. *Squee* "Uff" he grunted "Lets go" grabbing the nearest toy and throwing at his sister, Scoots ducked to the side accidentally running in to a china cabinet. A sketchily placed piece of china wobbled and fell towards the ground, shattering the china at impact. CRASH! "Oh no" Scoots screeched BANG A door opened suddenly crashing against a wall next to it, showing a ominous drunken unicorn behind it holding a bottle of liquor. "WHO DID IT!?!" the large voice rumbled through the house. "I...I d...did." She stuttered softly "YOU FUCKING CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!" throwing her bottle at Scoots missing and hitting High Flyer. High Flyer lay on the ground holding his head "NO! dont hurt him" Scoots yelled in terror The unicorn stumbled towards her, in shock Scoots didn't move.The white unicorn approached the terrified orange foal, getting her face up close to hers. "HAHA... like i care for him." said the unicorn "Mama why are you like this?you never did this when dad was alive..."She the foal trailed off, tears building in her eyes "Maybe if u weren't such a useless brat...YOUR FATHER WOULD BE ALIVE, Scootaloo. he hated you! Thats why he killed himself!! " The unicorn breathed in to her ear slowly escalating into yelling. "But.. i d..didn't.." Scootaloo stood in fear, stunned , tears dripped down her cheeks. WHAPPAT!!!! Before Scootaloo could move, a racing belt connected with her face. She turned her body so that the whip-like object hit her back. Scootaloo screamed as the belt tangled in her wings, the burning ache speed through her as the ear splitting sound of feathers snapping pierced the air. "YOU. FUCKING. SELFISH. PIECE. OF. SHIT. WHY. DON'T. YOU. BURN. IN. HEL-" In between whips CLANG! Scootaloos mother fell to the floor into a ever growing pool of blood, behind her, High Flyer stood wielding a baseball bat. Gashes upon her back filled with back. Agony stung across her open wounds. * * * The dream ended. Upright in the bed, Scootaloo sat crying and yelling. In the doorway Rainbow Dash stood. "Scoots!" running over to her side "Hey, Hey. Its ok. Calm down." Rainbow Dash would never tell anyone but that night, she was scared, saddened and lost. Why would anyone do this to her? Scootaloo sobbed once again into the older cyan Pegasus's chest. Comfort is all she needed.
