Escape Attempt

It was a dark and stormy night at a huge building that had a few areas with different jobs. The inside of the building had jobs for the foals that would make and wrap up all the candies, the ones that had the job of making cookies and the ones that had to do magic tricks for the ones in charge. The outside had some rocks that had precious minerals inside and those foals had to knock them out with a pickaxe and give them to the ones in charge to earn money.

The only alicorn foal of all of the foals, Golden Heart, peeked from behind a wall for any sign of the guards, walking around with torches. She was the daughter of Thaddeus and Crystal and the granddaughter of Elena, Duncan and the queen of Coltland. Golden Heart and her best friends Topaz, Candy, Floss, Silver Star, Gold Star and Cookie had been held captive at the building for a month and had been trying to escape since. All the plans had failed miserably and Golden Heart was always sent to a shed where she would remain for a whole day. She didn't have a job and all she could do was stay in her room that she shared with her best friends.

Golden Heart had golden hair and grey eyes like her dad but had a white body like her mum. She was the leader and would do anything to get every foal away from their captors and be back with their families. Her cutie mark meant that she had a heart of gold and always cared about everypony except the ones that would hurt them.

"Is it safe yet?" Gold Star asked in a whisper and she looked from side to side with her dark blue eyes and she moved some of her yellow mane out of her eyes.

Gold Star was the daughter of Eloise and an unnamed business stallion (nopony never knew his name because he was always out on business trips). Her younger twin sister was Silver Star and the two looked out for each other no matter what. Their jobs were to impress the foalnappers with their magic or if they didn't do well enough, they would be sent to "The Room".

No pony except the foalnappers knew what happened in there. Gold Star had dark blue eyes like her mum and her late grandfather Sven, the body colour and yellow hair like her mum. She was younger version of her. Silver Star had the hair colour and eye colour of her grandmother Colette.

"Is it, Golden Heart?" Candy and Floss asked at the same time then they looked at each other and gave small smiles. The twin sisters were the daughter of Miracle and an unnamed business stallion (they also didn't know his name for the same as the Star twins' dad). They both worked in the area where they had to make sweets then package them. Their talents had something to do with sweets and they enjoyed it but not if they were forced to do it without getting a break and being pushed around. Floss had pink hair, her dark pink eyes were just like her mum's. Candy had red and white hair and her eyes were a little brighter shade than Floss' eyes and she had her mum's light pink body.

"I don't know yet, I'll go over there and if it's safe, I'll signal for you to come to me and we might be able to get out." Golden Heart replied with braveness in her voice and she gave them a reassuring smile.

She slowly and quietly trotted over to the really tall fence that surrounded the whole building and she started to dig until she saw a guard walking by and she hid behind a metal pole until he walked away. Golden Heart checked again and continued to dig until she manage to squeeze under the fence and she stood there and gave a signal by lighting up her horn. The other six looked at each other then trotted over to where the fence was and Cookie crashed into the fence.

She was Lily and Mandarin's daughter and looked a lot like her mum except that she had her dad's eye colour. She appeared to have had a slight crush on Topaz. She worked in the area where she had to make cookies and store them so they could be eaten by the foalnappers, for dessert or just as a snack.

Topaz was Lulu Belle and Blackstone's son. He was a younger version of his dad if he was a pegasus. He had to work as a miner to get precious minerals and sell them for a lot of money but it was not used to buy new items for the foals, it was just to keep it and pay the bills.

"We need to be quiet or we'll get caught." Candy said with frustration and she looked at Golden Heart who then had her horn lit less to avoid being spotted.

"Why can't Golden Heart and I just fly over the fence and you guys can get under the fence?" Topaz asked and Candy sighed then rolled her eyes.

"You can't risk being spotted, the quieter way is to get under the fence." Cookie replied with a scared voice and she looked at Topaz from the corner of her bright green eyes.

"You two aren't as great as flying yet. You can fly a few feet but not high enough to get over the fence as it is so tall that I don't think any pegasus foal will be able to get over." Silver Star responded and it finished Cookie's sentence.

Cookie dug a little to the ground and she tried to wriggle under the fence but her white ribbon in her mane got caught on the fence and she struggled to get to the other side. One of the guards wasn't far from them and he looked at them.

"My ribbon is stuck...!" Cookie whispered in frustration and panic.

Golden Heart rolled her eyes and sighed. She trotted over to them and used her magic to try and pull Cookie to the other side while the others pushed her. She then gave a gasp of panic and they all looked to see two guards coming at them and yelling at them.

"Get her back!" Golden Heart ordered and she pushed Cookie while the others pulled her and as soon as they did, her ribbon then came off her mane and still stuck to the fence and all of them except Golden Heart fell over and she tried to fly to escape the guards. Her wings weren't strong enough and she ended galloping towards a small home and she hit into the door. As the guards surrounded her, the door opened and she stared up at the leader of all the foalnappers and gasped, the others just gave looks of fear and Silver Star put her hoof to her mouth.

"All of you, why is that foal outside the fence?" the leader who was a unicorn and she looked at them with a hoof on her hip. "Get her to the shed now!"

She slammed the door and a guard who was the leader of the others, used his magic to lift Golden Heart and took her to the shed and threw her in. He walked over to Topaz, Candy, Floss, Cookie, Silver Star and Gold Star then stared them down.

"Let this be a lesson to you! You'll never ever escape, you'll stay here for the rest of your lives and work for us!" the guard leader yelled, pointed at them and walked away with them still staring at him and standing motionless as they looked at the shed.
