Hello everyone! This is Allenfairytail and I'm back!
This story would be rather "different" compare to my other MLP stories. I got this idea from one of my old stories that I did long ago and from reading a story similar to this story that I wanted to do. Plus, there hasn't been much stories based on this, so I'm gonna break this tread cycle and take up the challenge and hopefully inspired all of you to do the same (just don't copy my story please).
This story would start off most of the cast as foals but don't worry, they will get older and started flirting in no time (well, I didn't mean "flirting", but as they would get older, they would start having "crushes", more to say the least.)
Like my old stories Middle School Days and May You Find Happiness, the cast will be human. I originally going to make the cast anthropomorphic but decided to make them human after much thought that it wouldn't fit very well in the story.
Each of the main six will have a exclusive back story that will cover behind the reasons of what happened to each of their parents and how they ended up in the orphanage. Some of them are tragic, others will be sadistic and cruel. Don't worry though... some of them will get adopted while others don't but I will make sure that the ending will be a happy one.
Anyway, hope you like it! Please review and tell me if the story good enough.
"Finally! School Is out! Man I'm so going to get a lot of R and R."
"Really?! That's all you think about... Sleep and being cooped up in the house."
"What's wrong with that?!"
"Ugh! Never mind..."
A young boy who looked around to be 8 or 9 years is named Soarin. He has green, almost emerald like colored eyes and had very long navy blue hair. Soarin wore navy blue jean shorts and a white colored t-shirt.
Next to him is a young girl named Spitfire who looked around the same age as Soarin and she possess burnt sienna eyes and had very long dark orange hair, with a light orange color stripe in the center of her hair. Spitfire wore a long orange t-shirt and a long black pleated skirt.
"Hey you two. Are you enjoying your stay?" A voice asked the two kids.
Soarin nodded his head. "Yes Ashe. Thank you for letting us stay over."
Ashe, who let Soarin and Spitfire stay over at her house, nodded her head and smiled. Ashe is a slim young woman with slightly above average height. She has long, white hair, which gets slightly curly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her already bust chest. She currently wore her bedroom robe due to catching a cold. "Anytime you two. I appreciate of befriending Snowflake."
"Anytime Ashe." Spitfire said with a smile. "Still though... how come Snowflake have been acting very cold and isolated in the beginning?"
"It's because of his upbringing that's why..." Ashe replied with a sad sigh.
"Oh no... that can't good giving the sigh your just let out..." Soarin said.
Just then, Soarin, Spitfire and Ashe heard footsteps and turned to see another young boy who appeared to be the same age as Soarin and Spitfire. The young boy have an androgynous appearance and build with pale blue-white iris eyes, that matched the color of a "high mountain glacier" and possessed very long aquamarine hair with a sea green color stripe located in the middle of his long hair. His hair is very long, even among male hair length standards. In fact so long that his hair covers his left side of his face and covered his left eye. He's currently wearing black colored jeans and brown shirt.
"Hey Snowflake! Glad that your up." Spitfire was the first one to greet the young boy.
"Hey mom, Soarin and Spitfire." Snowflake greeted them back as he begin to yawn from his afternoon nap.
"How was your nap sweetie?" Ashe asked her son.
"It's was good and relaxing." Snowflake replied.
"Well that's good sweetie. I go make you guys some lunch. You three must be starving." Ashe said as she slowly got up.
"Very." All three of the children said in unison, leaving Ashe nodded her head went to the kitchen, giggling. Since Snowflake just woken up from his afternoon nap, the three of them decided to go swimming in the pool that Snowflake and Ashe owned. Luckily, Soarin and Spitfire brought their own swim suits and each of them went to the bathroom and changed into to them. After all of them changed into their swim suits, they head out into the back where the pool was.
A half hour have already passed quickly since being outside enjoying the sun.
"So, how's it all been going, man?" Soarin asked, leaning back in a lawn-chair.
"It's been going well." Snowflake replied.
"That's good to hear, uh, pal..." Spitfire added as she stood in front of the pool.
Soarin clapped a hand to his mouth to stop himself from chuckling.
"What's so funny?" Spitfire demanded.
"Uh... Nothing..." Soarin replied, shrugging. "Besides the fact that you're totally into Snowflake." Soarin said with a small grin.
"W-what!?" Spitfire spat as she could felt the blush starting to crept up in her face. "No I don't!" A moment later, Spitfire dashed at Soarin. Soarin leaped onto his feet and fled. Spitfire gave chase, and the two circled around the pool for a moment, both participants blushing wildly. After a moment, Spitfire spotted a chair and using it and the momentum, jumped and tackled Soarin into the pool. Snowflake just chuckled and let them work it out.
Snowflake paused when he heard Ashe calling them for lunch He stood up, and left Spitfire and Soarin to their business. The two were tangled on the floor, playfully wrestling. When Snowflake entered to the house, he saw Ashe laying out some food for them. "Snowflake, lunch is ready."
Snowflake nodded his head and called his friends over towards inside, which both Soarin and Spitfire responded. They both dried off and all three of them sat down in the kitchen. In the middle of the table were a huge pile of pizza bites and the moment the aroma entered each of their noses, they all begin to much down the pizza in quick succession warning a giggle from Ashe from watching the three hungry kids from afar.
Just then, she then heard her cell phone ring and looked to see who's calling. Upon seeing the number, she press the "hung up" button and groaned in anger. She then begin to feel fear afterwards but decided to suppressed her emotions for the moment.
After Snowflake, Soarin and Spitfire finished off the pizza rolls, they decided to hang out in the living room for the rest of the afternoon and watch t.v. When it got around 7 in the evening, Ashe begin to speak to Soarin and Spitfire. "Sorain, Spitfire. It's getting late you two. You two should go on home so that you two don't be out walking home very late."
"Okay Ashe. Again, thank you for having us over today." Soarin said as he and Spitfire put on their clothes over their swim gear so they can save time for them. As they both made towards the door...
"Well Snowflake, I'll see you later man." Soarin said as he hugged his close friend.
"Yeah, see you later man." Snowflake replied as he returned the hug. He then turned to Spitfire and gave her a hug as well. "See you tomorrow Spitfire."
Spitfire, while a bit daze from the hug, returned it and begin to blush a little. "Yeah... see you tomorrow Snowflake..."
And with that, Soarin opened the door and him and Spitfire exited the house. With them gone, Ashe begin to speak to her beloved son. "Snowflake, I don't feel like cooking dinner tonight. Do you want to get something out?"
"Yes I do mother." Snowflake replied with a smile on his face. Ashe then gave Snowflake some money so he can get something out to eat. Snowflake thanked her and left to get something to eat whatever his taste buds craved for.
-Meanwhile with Soarin and Spitfire-
"Spitfire, why do you like Snowflake?"
"WHAT?! ARRRGGGHH! I DON'T! OKAY?!"
"I'm still not convinced..." Soarin chuckled a bit until he received a good solid punch in the arm. "OUCH!"'
Spitfire let out a "HUMPH!" sound. "Serves you right you fool."
Soarin let out a painful groan and rolled his eyes as he continued to follow Spitfire. After a while of walking, they finally reached home, which unlike any other houses, it's consists of two huge dorms that are part of school property that they both attend to. The school that Soarin and Spitfire attended to is like regular boarding school but it has dorms for students who favored to be independent, or for those who have been transferred and even hold students who have been accepted to this school who have been orphaned or homeless. There are many staffs and have guards that watched the school 24/7 and there are many departments as well.
When they arrived at the front of the main building, they both bid each other goodnight and went to their dorm-rooms.
Spitfire arrived at her dorm-room and sat her backpack down. She then closed her door and begin to changed out of both her clothes and her swimsuit and into her pajamas. Spirfire hopped into bed, got into her covers and turned on the t.v. She watched some of her favorite shows for about three hours until she then begin to close her eyes and eventually, fell asleep.
"Spitfire... Spitfire!"
Spitfire slowly opened her eyes and saw Soarin is in her room. "Soarin...? What are you doing in my room?! It's two thirty in the morning!"
Soarin had a solemn look on his face. "It's Snowflake... he's in the hospital..."
This cause Spitfire's eyes to open completely, fully waking her up. "W-what? What for?!"
"I don't know!" Soarin replied. He then got up with his shoes on and wearing a coat over his pajamas. "Come on Spitfire! We're going to the hospital!"
"Right!" Spitfire said as she got out of bed and ran towards the door grabbing her jacket and shoes.
After running in the cold freezing air in what seems like for hours, they finally arrived at the hospital. After getting past the front desk, they head towards the elevator.
"What floor did the lady in the front desk say Snowflake is staying at?"
"He's in room 412. So that means, he's on the fourth floor."
"I hope he's okay..."
Soarin looked at his friend. "I do too Spitfire..."
After waiting for a minute or two, the elevator finally reached the fourth floor.
"Okay... he should be room 412." Soarin said as he and Spitfire got off the elevator.
Spitfire shook her head. "Got it..."
Soarin and Spitfire walked around in the fourth floor until they were in the back, scrolling and passing many room until reaching the room that they have been looking for.
"Okay, this is the room." Spitfire said as she began opening the door. She and Soarin entered the room and walked up to the blue curtain. They pushed the curtain aside and saw Snowflake, their dearest friend, bed-ridden covering with numerous injuries. He had a few cuts marks on his face and had a black eye on his left eye. Snowflake's arms were covered in terrible bruises and both his hands were covered in bandages. He was also covered his blood and his throat was cut. All and all, he looked as if he been beaten, tortured, and discarded out like a piece of yesterday's trash.
Spitfire and Soarin were both stunned at the sight of Snowflake's injuries.
"Snowflake... I can't stand looking at him like this..." Spitfire said as she was close to tears.
"Man... I hope whoever did this will pay..." Soarin added as he begin to feel angry.
Suddenly after hearing Soarin and Spitfire's voice, Snowflake turned his head and made eye contact with them. "Soa...rin... Spit...fire..."
"S-Snowflake! Your okay!" Spitfire spoke in joy.
"Mom... where's Mom? I-Is she okay?" Snowflake asked as he try to move a little but the intense strain from his sustained injuries caused him to cringe in pain.
"Snowflake... you shouldn't move at all... your hurt..." Soarin said in worry.
"But I have to know if my mother is okay... please... tell me..." Snowflake weakly pleaded.
But before either of them could even speak, a nurse with short black hair came in with a sad look on her face. "Snowflake... we tried everything to help your mother... but there was nothing we could do..."
Soarin looked at the nurse with a very concerned look on his face. "What do you mean...?"
"Oh no... you mean... Ashe... is..." Spitfire chimed into the conversation, as she begin to suspect the worst case scenario.
The nurse sighed and presumed to tell everyone the dreadful news. "Yes... Ashe...had passed away... I'm so sorry..." She then walked out the room.
The room was completely silent with Soarin and Spitfire being shocked. Snowflake on the other hand, his response to his mother's death was a slow lingering and emotionless expresstion as a single tear left both in his eyes, as if almost he was in too much pain emotionally, mentally and psychologically. It was a type of pain that Soarin and Spitfire will never forget for now on, nor they'll forget that facial response.
"I can't believe it..." Soarin mumbled in sadness and disbelief. Spitfire remained silent the whole time until she saw Snowflake begin to shake uncontrollably until he let out a scream.
"GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY MOTHER IS GONE! GONE FOREVER! I WANT TO GO WHERE MOM IS! GIVE ME BACK MY MOM! GGGRRRRAAAAAA!"
Snowflake then begin to kick the window, screaming in pain and finally start yanking out all the needles that were inserted in his body and then ripping off the bandages that cover and seal his wounds, causing his wounds to open and bleed, putting his own life in critical jeopardy.
Upon seeing Snowflake in the state that he was in, both Soarin and Spitfire backed in a corner and looked in horror. As soon as one of the nurses saw Snowflake on what he was doing, she alert the other nurses and doctors that were nearby to restrained Snowflake. Soon, many nursers and doctors entered the room to suppressed Snowflake. Soarin and Spitfire had to be escorted out of the room since the scene was getting a bit intense.
It took about a half hour for the nurses to finally suppressed Snowflake. They ended up have to bind him and injected him with morphine mixed with water and other chemicals to lessens the effects of morphine to the extent that he wont become addicted to it since morphine is a potentially highly addictive drug. But make sure have enough morphine that made Snowflake stopped moving and screaming and made him feel very funny and then ended up passing out due to its effects.
After things calm down a bit, Soarin and Spitfire were allowed to enter the room and saw Snowflake asleep and covered with new bandages and few more needles were inserted in his body. They both of them felt numb and sickened to their stomachs seeing their close friend in the state that he is in and couldn't do nothing but to watch.
"Soarin..." Spitfire begin to speak.
"I know Spitfire... I'm scared too... can't imagined what he's going to in his mind with all this happening to him..."
After a while of being unconscious, Snowflake begin to open his eyes and saw his friends and try to speak to them. "Soarin... Spitfire..."
Both Soarin and Spitfire ran up towards him. "Snowflake! Your Okay!"
Snowflake let out large amount of tears from his eyes as he try to speak. "Guys... I'm sorry... for screaming and to see me like that... Just... promised me that you won't leave me..."
Spitfire wrapped her arms around Snowflake's neck. "Snowflake... don't apologize... your in great pain... I understand... I promised that Soarin and I will never leave you Snowflake...never... everything is going to be okay..."
Snowflake could do nothing but to summoned all the strength he had left to wrapped his arms around Spitfire to hug her back, with Soarin now joining in the hug too as well. With his mother gone and now orphaned, Snowflake feels very scared and uncertain of what his future will be now that he is officially alone.
Why do this tragedy have to fall upon him? Why?
