Chapter 2:
Fluttershy suddenly awoke to screeching and she suddenly thought it was one of her animals because the shrillness of it. Then she listened more intently and she began to hear what she thought might be screaming. Then suddenly she remembered the harmed pony that was in her guest room. She ran to the guestroom thinking that he might have been attacked because of the many dangerous animals that prowled the forest near her home. Once she got to the room she stopped and sighed with relief for when she got to the room all she was a distraught pony screaming and wrestling with the bed sheets. Immediately she went from relief to concern as the pony was biting his lip trying to stop screaming and he was drawing blood. She knew this must be one nightmare of a dream considering this pony's desperation to keep quiet that he was causing himself harm, she slowly went over to the bed quietly dodging the flailing limbs out of experience for she dealt with dangerous animals quite often and some of them she knew one hit from them and she would be dead. She slowly tried to wake the pony up from his nightmares by nudging him and calling his name. She finally gave up and tried shaking him slightly. He shot out of bed and ran quickly away from her.
He was at it again my dad He was beating me I didn't even know the reason why. As my pain grew I started to grow fearful. The pain was unbearable but I knew he would make it worse if I were to make any sound one of the number one rules was don't speak unless spoken to. So I tried and tried to keep any declaration of my pain from coming out of my mouth. I began to bite my lip tighter and tighter as the pain began to become unbearable. It hurt so much and it was becoming worse by the second. Then my dad picked me up I couldn't see him because my eyes had swollen shut because of the many kicks delivered to my face. He was shaking me and the punching me. Then oddly enough he started calling my real name I found this very strange because all he ever did was call me freak or moron. Then all of a sudden I woke up I was confused at first as I noticed that I wasn't in pain and I was begging to wonder if I was in pain at all. Then I noticed the two hands around my arms and all of a sudden I ran I ran as far as I could and when I couldn't run anymore I hid. Then I heard a name softly calling my name this confused me I thought none ever calls me by my real name and much less softly. So I took a chance and what meant my eyes was the worst thing in my life it was Fluttershy and she was coming towards me. Oh no I had angered her and now not only did I get beaten by my dream dad I was getting beaten by the person I had come to call safe. I waited for the blows to reign down…wait why wasn't the pain starting? I decided well if your going to get beaten might as look to see why's she's delaying it. So I looked up and saw Fluttershy standing they're looking ready to cry. I thought I made her mad and prepared for the blow again but instead of feeling pain Fluttershy knelt down next to me and hugged me. I tried to move away because one of the rules was freaks weren't allowed to touch normal people I started to panic what if she's just hugging me so she can beat me I started to breathe harder and harder. Then the arms went away and flutter shy asked me "are you ok sweetie?" I responded with a whimper "your going to punish me now" I curled up waiting for the blow I knew I deserved for touching normal people. Instead of a blow hitting me I heard in a soft voice "why would I hit you?" I just whimpered and said "because I touched a normal person freaks aren't allowed to touch normal people" I then heard Fluttershy say " sweetie I will not lay a hand on you especially when I initiated the hug you will not get punished for me hugging you and you won't get punished if you hug me on your own". "O-ok" I said although I knew she was lying I didn't want to get beaten so I just agreed. "Now" I heard Fluttershy say I tensed as she grabbed my hand "let's go to bed". I started to not breathe normally and then remembered that Fluttershy said she wouldn't do that to me but what if she was lying?" as we got to the bed she released my hand and said "now get in bed after the scary nightmare if you want I can even sing you a lullaby". What's a lullaby I thought? I knew freaks weren't allowed to ask questions but I asked one anyway just in case a lullaby hurt "what's a lullaby" I asked her she then gasped and immediately I curled into a ball thinking that I had given her a reason to beat me for asking questions. Then I heard Fluttershy say "why are you scared" I responded with tears and then said "b-b-because freaks aren't allowed to have questions that's one of the r-r-r-rules and then you gasped and now you're gonna hit me" then I heard her say from my ball that I was curled into "sweetie I told you that I wasn't going to hit you and I will repeat that promise until you believe me" I responded "ok" in a whimpery voice" Ok honey since you don't know what a lullaby is I'll just explain it to you ok "Fluttershy said I responded with "ok". Then fluttershy started to explain " well honey a lullaby Is a sweet melody that's usually slow" I started bouncing up and down "you mean that it's a song I love music " then I immediately realized that I had spoken out of turn and that was against the rules so I curled up into a ball and thought your such a bad boy why can't you just follow the rules like your supposed to and then waited for the blow. After about twenty minutes I slowly uncurled and found Fluttershy just sitting there I prepared for her to yell at me but to my surprise all that came out was a sigh and then her soft voice started speaking saying "honey let me just be clear you won't get hit for breaking any rules" I just said "ok" in confusion I heard fluttershy sigh and then she said " I guess I'll sing you the lullaby now because it's late and we should probably get to bed" "ok" I responded except this time with excitement at the prospect of getting to hear fluttershy sing she then started to sing and she sung " hush now quiet now it's time to go to bed hush now quiet now it's time to lay your sleepy head" I would have liked to hear more of the song and fought my eyelids as they got heavier and heavier but then I fell asleep.
As the pony fell asleep I kissed him on the cheek again and went back to bed. I lay in bed thinking that we really needed to think of a name for him if he didn't have a name of his own. Then I went to sleep; the pony had no nightmares for the rest of the night. I woke up the next morning later than usual to a awesome smell it was a smell I had never smelled before so I wandered down to the kitchen and found the pony cooking and singing. I rushed over to him and took the pan out of his hands carefully and said "you shouldn't be doing this you still need to recover from all the injuries your family gave you so go up to the room you slept in" in a normal voice (A.U her normal voice is basically almost a whisper) to my surprise the pony just burst into tears as soon as I said that and ran up to the room he slept in. I knew something was wrong so I went up the stairs to the bedroom. I found him curled up in a ball again and went to figure out what was wrong so I said "I'm sorry" the pony looked up with a shocked look on his face " um what's wrong" the pony instantly went from uncurled to curled again
