* Monday , Manehattan *

I wake up in my fresh Manehattan apartment. My high and college diploma are hanging on the wall. I'm a science major,it makes sense because my name is Ultra Violet. I also studied science to learn the chemistry behind mixology. I trot over to the fridge to grab a beer. I'm technically only 19 but I went to a lot college parties so I'm immune to alchohol. If I remember correctly I didn't do much learning in college. I went because of a scholarship and spent three years either partying or in jail overnight.

After having a nice cold beer I took a warm shower and threw on my work uniform. I work at a bar ...as a table model. That means I get paid to stand on table and let colts buy me drinks. I don't like it but it pays the bills.

I walk over to the bad area of Neigh York ,to Ice Cubes' Cold Bar. The name of the bar speaks for itself. Fog lines the walls and it's freezing. No one is at the bar so I sit down at one of the tables. A few minutes later ,a middle aged Stallion named Ice Cubes gallops over with a scowl on his face.

"What are you doing ,missy? You're supposed to be on this table shaking your tail, not sitting!" he yells ,even though we're the only two ponies in the room.

"I can't dance if no one is here to pay! Think for a minute crazy!" ,I mutter some other insults under my breath about my job.

He smacks the table I'm sitting at ,causing me to jump then screams some nonsense about being disrespectful and fires me. He's obviously off his meds and not thinking straight but granted, I'm not either so I calmly walk out.

Since I'm in my uniform ponies are looking at me. Fellow models are envious , the ladies are disgusted and the men ( especially the homeless for some reason ) are staring at my flank. As I'm walking home I pass by a puddle to look at my reflection. My coat is a dark purple ,with green eyes and a black mane and tail.

Suddenly I hear rock music coming from an abandoned warehouse. Going back to my glory days as a party mare,I follow the sound. Yep its a party. I walk in to see a bunch of griffins, dragons and ponies dancing and partying. I take off my uniform and join in. Next thing I know I'm running up and down broken stairs drunk. Creatures are cheering and I think a griffin is filming with a camera. Then I get to the top of the stairs and jump. Suddenly the room goes quiet as the stairs collapse and I fall.

It's nothing too bad, just a few scratches on my hooves. But then the second story floor starts collapsing and everyone runs out. I make it just in time to see part of the building fall. Suddenly I hear sirens and a police carriage shows up. Oh No! Officer Lightning Dust hops out and everyone blames me for destroying the property.. Lightning Dust looks honestly shocked. She marches right up to me and whispers in my ear "We meet again, Ultra Violet except you won't be in jail over night . You're going to Dark Prison in Canterlot , if the High Princesses find you guilty!"

I gulped , the Dark Prison was the scariest, most uncomfortable prison in Equestria. The officer read me my rights and cuffed a large collar around my small neck ,she pulled me into the carriage with the leash and pushed me into the back . We drove for hours, sometimes we had to stop for bathroom breaks so I wouldn't ruin the thin cushions.

Apparently ,the princesses did find me guilty, because ,after a while we moved from neat stone paths to broken dirt roads. Finally , Officer Ligtning Dust ,let me out of the carriage and I met my fate: Dark Prison!

This is my life now

I'm standing in front of the Dark Prison gates. Lightning Dust hooks my leash to the carriage and says something to the guard controlling the gates. She takes off my leash but grabs my collar with her wings. As we walk into the prison it gets about 10 degrees colder. The walls and floor are made out of concrete and all of the windows are covered with thin curtains. I'm taken into a room with a metal door and only one overhead light. Lightning forces me into a small chair and takes off my collar. When another mare comes in she walks out. This new mare is wearing a black jacket and a white cape which blends with her gray coat and mane. She sits down in a large chair in front of me." Listen , you destroyed that warehouse, that's your fault! Creatures could have died!"I want you to hear me now, you are doing a two year sentence. If you haven't changed by the time your officer does your evaluation ,you're doing 10 years on the War Zone. "


"Wait, how does two years become 10 years, and what's the War Zone?" ,I asked

"The way this prison works , is that if you're still a criminal by the end of your sentence, we multiply it by 5. And the War Zone is the top floor where all the killers or cannibals go." she replied.

"Ok, but how do I change ?"

"Simple don't get into trouble ,and keep track of your merits" ,she slides me a card that has my face and name on it, "So far you have 0 merits."
"By the way ,what's your name?"
"I'm your warden, Snowy Axe, don't play games with me, hun I've got a taser and tranquillizer underneath this cape.

She stands up and drags me out of my chair. She pulls me up the stairs (even though I wasn't resisting) and throws me into a cell . Thrown on the floor ,I look around my new bedroom. There are two matresses with flat pillows and thick blankets ,the bed on the right has my name above it and the left one has someone named Volcanic Flare. On one wall is a sink with a dirty mirror and a closet and the other has the schedule.

That's when it hit me, I'm trapped here ,this is my life now! I crawled onto my bed and sobbed for hours. I heard my roommate walk in and out , I heard the guard banging on the door ,but I ignored it. When I came back to reality, it was dark. I could see my roommate sleeping peacefully. From what I could tell she had a red coat and an orange mane. Then I saw a glow coming from the wall. Apparently we had a digital clock in our room. It was 8:30 pm. I couldn't sleep. I decided to sneak out the door. I went to open the door but it wouldn't budge.

"The door is locked from the outside , just give up" ,a voice said. I turned around to see Volcanic Flare sitting up in her bed smiling. She was missing a tooth or two, but she was still cute. Wait What ? No, I'm not like that! I decided to just go to bed for the night.
I dreamed about my old life,my days of drinking and partying were over. I missed my favorite show, Sunny Stars, it was about a group of ponies who try to become famous. Whenever I wanted to drink my life away that show would bring me back to reality. I cried in my sleep.

The First Day

* Tuesday, Dark Prison*
"Wake up you lowlifes! This is prison not summer camp!" A guard yelled from behind the door. I slowly got and forgetting my bed was on the floor ,I tripped.
"You Ok, newbie?" ,Volcanic Flare asked, helping me up

"Yeah , I'm fine" ,I said rubbing my leg.

"We gotta join the shower line, stay with me" she said pushing me out the door. We galloped across the cold floor for the shower line. The line was really short and we ended up only waiting a few minutes. The bathroom was actually clean ...until I stepped into the stall. For some reason the shower was really tight and there was carpet on the bottom of the shower. The carpet was damp and felt weird on my hooves. I turned on the shower and the water was freezing! I backed against the curtain to get away from the stream and fell back onto the floor with a male guard standing over me.

"Are you scared of water or something?" he asked mockingly.

"T-the water was cold!" I answered.

The guard got angry "It's either freezing cold or piping hot, sissy!" he yelled.

Then he slapped me,I got up and tried to walk out the bathroom but he yanked my tail and we got into a fight.

Next thing I know,I'm sitting in the small chair again but in a fancy office. Warden Snowy Axe was in front of me shaking her head.

"Such a shame ,Violet I was trying to help you by leaving you on the second floor, you should've been on the War Zone but I gave you a chance. You betrayed my trust ,but I will give you a second chance. If you go to Time Out during free time today I will give you 2 merits."

She dismissed me and I walked over to the cafeteria. I saw Volcanic Flare sitting at a corner table.

"Hi ,Volcanic ,um you're not going to see me during Free time ,I have to do this thing called Time Out" I told her
. She looked like she had seen a ghost.

"You must have done something really bad to get in Time Out!" she told me.
"Wait , what's Time Out?"

She leaned in close and said "You're put in a room with 3 mares , one spanks you , one sctratches your ear and one gives you belly rubs".

"How is that a punishment exactly ?" I asked

"Because when your done ,they tie you up" , we both shuddered.

"Wait how do you know what it's like? I asked.
Tears formed in her eyes "It was my second week in this pit. I was going stir crazy already and needed a psychiatrist but I was low on merits. I signed up to work as one of crazy mares,it was horrible ,the old warden made this sick rule that the softer you were the longer you worked. I tortured ponies for hours and I hated it. Luckily I escaped after a month."
Wow,I didn't mean to make her cry,the fact that they would do that to someone is sadistic. Thankfully a guard came with our food . Flare wiped away her tears and explained what was on my tray. The brown lump of clay was a muffin,the murky liquid was water (definitely not drinking it) and the gooey yellow mess was eggs , she said to eat the muffin and then trade the eggs for hay scramble. I did trade and scarves down my food. The rest of the day was a blur until my punishment.

When I walked into the room I could tell the mares were not right in the head. Their coats and manes were dyed different colors and their smiles were creepy. I laid on the table and the torture began. One crawled on top of me and started rubbing my belly with her rough dry hooves ,one started pulling my ears and the last stood in the corner her eyes darting back and forth. I screamed and cried as the spanking started. I blacked out and woke up in my room.

"You're awake! The warden told me you blacked out from stress and told me to stay with you." Volcanic Flare said happily.
We talked about our lives before prison, apparently Volcanic Flare wanted to be a science teacher. I'm a science major , she wanted to teach science it's made to be ! Agh, why can't I think straight anymore?

4 weeks later

It's been 4 weeks since my punishment and a lot has changed. For one, the warden seems to be nicer. She promoted me from the small , pinching chair to the floor. She even smiles slightly when she talks. Flare also changed . She's become a bit more touchy when talking to me, brushing her hooves against me, putting her leg around me that stuff. I've told her again and again that I don't like her like that but she still does it.
