My Little Pony: Origins.
Chapter Nine.
Sneak Away.
February 16th 2015, The Crystal Palace, Los Cristales, The Crystal Empire. 12:25 am.
David was laying in his bed looking up at the ceiling, the full moon barely glowing through the crystal walls, casting the room in a dark blue glow, he sat up and looked at his bare chest, it had scratches and scars across it. He got out of bed and put his tattered shirt and jacket on, he looked over at the dresser, a pen and some blank paper were neatly placed on it. He stepped over to the dresser, grabbing a blank sheet of paper and the pen, he wrote down a letter and folding it and wrote 'Dear Cadence' on the front before placing in back on the dresser. He put his shoes on and walked out the room and down the hall, towards the palace entrance.
Flurry Heart was asleep in her bed when she heard footsteps pass her door, she quitely hopped out of bed and opened her door, she saw David walk down the hall and towards the palace doors.
''What... why are you leaving?'' She said to herself, she quietly moved over to her desk and grabbed a quill, ink and paper and quickly wrote something down and placed the note on her bed. She opened a window, about to fly from it but was blasted with cold arctic air and snow with blizzard like force, she shook the snow off and put off snow boots, a scarf, a woolen hat and a cloak. Grabbing a saddle bag with wing warmers inside, she leapt out the window and fluttered down to the ground outside.
Her light magentaish gray hooves land on the freshly laid snow, she looked up at the palace one last time.
''So long Empire.'' She said, opening her saddle bag and putting the wing warmers on. She heard David step out the palace and walk towards Lower Crystal Square TMD, Flurry heart follows close behind him. Midnight Blaze watches this and smirks.
''This is too perfect.'' The guard said, stepping into the palace and walking towards Flurry's room, he enters the room and closes the window, he took of his helmet, revealing a horn, in a flash of dark blue, he cast a spell on the room, blocking out sound from the room.
Without warning he started to trash the room, he flipped the bed over on its side, smashing the desk into pieces and shattering the mirror, once he was finished, he grabbed Flurry Heart's mane brush and pulled out her hair from it and scattered the hair across the floor and moved some shattered desk around, making it look like a struggle had broken out.
''Now, i need one more thing.'' Midnight said to himself, he ran at a wall and knocked himself out, the spell he had cast stops working.
February 16th 2015, Lower Crystal Square TMD, Los Cristales, The Crystal Empire. 1:35 am.
The snow blasted David as he got back to '642', he opened the cab door and stepped inside the ice cold cab, Flurry Heart snuck into cab and hid under the sink in the small kitchen in the nose. David started the engines, the cab lighting flickered on, as did the headlights, David then left the cab and turned the tail lamps on, the blizzard deafened out the sound of the engines as he got back into the cab and sat in his seat, looking at the palace and sighed. He moved the throttle into notch two and released the brakes, the class 19's start moving along the siding and towards a balloon loop to turn around and head back south.
''I'll see you again soon Candy.'' David said as the train turned around and started the long journey back south. The CEE rattled past on the high speed line as it bridged over the freight line. Flurry Heart's heart was beating quickly as the train sped up, forcing its way through the blizzard.
February 16th 2015, Arctic North, Equestrian Border. 3:05 am.
'642' crested the hill and rattled along the level stretch of track, the blizzard died down as the train crossed over the border and into Equestria, David moved the throttle into notch eight, the lights of The Crystal Empire faded away in the distance, the now calmer snow of Equestria pelted the rails as the bright headlights lit the path as the train started to head down hill, twisting through the mountain range of northern Equestria. David found it hard to keep awake as his train headed towards Ponyville. Flurry Heart had fallen asleep.
February 16th 2015, The Crystal Palace, Los Cristales, The Crystal Empire. 6:00 am.
Cadence woke up before everyone else did, she hoped out of bed and skipped to the kitchen, she found Arctic Lily preparing breakfast, the maid placed a plate of toast onto a tray and was about to take it when Cadence smiled at her.
''Good morning ma'am.'' Arctic bowed to the Empress before picking up the tray.
''Who's the breakfast for?'' Cadence asked the maid, taking note of what else was on the tray, a glass of milk and a knife and fork.
''It's for mister David.'' The maid replied, nervously, Cadence noticed this and took the tray in her magic aura.
''I'll give this to him, why don't you go and see if Flurry Heart is awake?'' The Empress added, the maid nodded and walked out the kitchen.
Cadence walked along the hall and knocked on David's door and waited for him to open the door, after no response she knocked again and waited again, once again, no reply.
''David? You awake?'' She said, opening the door, she was surprised to see the room empty, she looked around, confused. She walked over to the dresser and placed the tray down, she noticed the letter laying on the top of the dresser, she picked up the letter and opened it.
'Dear Cadence.
Thank you for your hospitality, but i can't stay here with you and your family, i just don't feel needed here. I'll be returning to Port Hope. Good Bye.
David.'
Tears stained Cadence's cheek as she read the letter again and again. She looked at the bottom of the letter and weakly smiled.
''Oh, David. I need you here.'' Cadence whispered. She dropped the letter when she heard Arctic Lily scream. She ran out the room and towards the screaming, Twilight, her friends and Shining ran to the scream too.
Cadence ran into the thrashed and saw Midnight Blaze laying on the floor, she froze in place as Shining pushed her aside and shook Midnight awake.
''Who did this? Where is Flurry Heart?'' Shining said, looking at Midnight. Midnight weakly pointed his hoof at Cadence.
''Her brother did this, he kidnapped Flurry.''
