Chapter 4:

*Blade*
Meanwhile, Back In Stable 2...

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? She fucking LEFT??? What the fuck! That...That Pega-BITCH! That Zebra-WHORE!" I screamed as Midnight told me of Peppermint's disappearance.

"Umm... Yeah, the bitch left! Following Velvet and that retarted LittlePip! What we gonna do 'bout it, boss?" He replied.
I sighed. "I don't know quite fucking yet! Let me think!"

"But what about the plan?? What about payback??" Midnight asked me, startled that I didnt have an idea as fast as I usually did. Usually, I'd 'figure out how to torture' anypony who screwed with me... But this? This had thrown me off balance.
"Midnight... GET THE FUCK OUT! I need to think, dammit!"

"Right, boss, right! I'm gone!" He backpeddled and galloped out, bucking my door shut behind me.

I slumped in my chair. Grabbing our last yearbook in my magic, I levitated it to me. Flipping through the pages, I found my class' page. I sighed, pointing my hoof at Peppermint's picture. Stretching my magic to my doorknob, I locked it. Nopony neded to hear what I was about to say. I needed to say the truth for once. Staring into her deep red, beautiful eyes, I let the words I'd been dying to say out loud for so long fall out of my mouth.

"Oh, Peppermint... Don't you see? I'm the only buck who pays any attention to you, the only buck who talks to you! The only buck with eyes for you! But, you don't care for me, do you? In school, I'd be the one to try to get you to like me! You mares are supposed to love being pushed around! You're supposed to love being called names! If mares didn't like that stuff, why would Mom stay with Dad?? It makes no sense! I've tried for so long, but while everypony was trying to find a Special Somepony... you weren't even putting yourself out there! The Gang, they like how violent I am, but they don't see how much I love you! I cut you, I give you pain, and what do you do to thank me? Run away! Not just away from me..." I held back a stupid tear, bucks DO NOT CRY. "But away from the Stable! Are you dead?? I DON'T KNOW!! DAMMIT!" I screamed, hurling the book across the room and slamming my hooves against the chair. 

"Boss? You okay in there?'' Midnight yelled worriedly through the door. 

"I'm just pissed off, okay! GO THE FUCK AWAY!"

"Uh... okay Boss! I will!"

Fuckin' liar. He'll stay right there...

I let out another sigh. Might as well think of a plan.

And so I sat there. And thought. 

And thought. 

And thought. 

And thought, until finally, I knew what to do.

"We'll leave. Get the fuck out of here...

...And find Peppermint.
