"Kill them. But do not, under any circumstances, kill the foals Vincent."
Celestia's words ran around his head as he stared down at the sleeping mare and the stallion. They had taken the foals, Artemis and Cookie
-he rolled his eyes at the latters name- from their dead parents and had brought them to Canterlot, something that had irked Princess Celestia greatly. But why the princess should care for the keeping of two insignificant foals, he couldn't think of.
She had offered great pay as well: 10,000 bits. He wondered why she would pay a young, inexperienced member of the Black Hoof so much for what seemed a easy job. He was just out of foalhood and had only just joined.
And then a private audience...
"Bring the foals to the Black Hoof and train them to become members. I will be following up with their progress."
He shook his head. The job had to be done, no matter the reasoning behind it. And the number one rule in the Black Hoof was to never question Celestia's orders.
He made quick work of it; Celestia wanted them to make quick work of it, although Vincent did so enjoy it when it was messy.
He exited the room, trotting to the room where the foals slept. He nudged the door open, praying to Luna that they would be asleep. Thankfully, the foals slept. His ears pricked at the sound of their snoring, creeping over to where one slept.
She was small for a unicorn, but she was almost out of foal hood. Her wavy hair was blue with salmon pink streaks, her coat was a glossy white, typical of a Canterlot pony.
The other one was also a unicorn, with straight black hair and green streaks and a grey coat. She occasionally twitched and her sleep, muttering and jerked every minute.
Vincent shook his dark grey head. Time for the abduction. His partner, Mathieu , a red pegasus with black hair, walked in, done with eliminating the guards.
Time for the abduction.
