Chapter 2: Not Again

*Scootaloo POV*

I'm not waiting anymore, if Rainbow Dash won't keep her word I will just have to fly by myself! I left my scooter at the bottom of the hill and started walking, this hill is huge, its so high you can almost reach cloudsdale, perfect for flying. As I slowly reached the top I looked down and stopped, wow this is really high. But i am going to do it, I am going to fly. I stepped to the edge and held my breath, three...two...one... I jumped.

Unfortunately I was so determind to fly I forgot my wing was hurt, which sent me hurdling to the ground at an extremely fast rate. I waited to hit the ground, for everything to go black, but it never happened, thats when I realized I wasn't falling anymore. I looked up to see someone I wasn't very excited to see. His mane was navy blue while his body was bright red, and his eyes were an angry shade of grey. Red Bullet, my step brother.

"oh h-hey red, whats up?" I stuttered, he growled and flew toward the house, no no no. I tried to squirm out of his grip, but he held me tighter. Before I knew it, we were inside. He threw me down and I scrambled to the corner. "what where you thinking?! your such a stupid kid. you cant fly! you never will!" I flinched back, he stepped toward me. "You think everyone likes you because your nice? wait until they find out you cant fly! see who is still by your side then!" He grabbed my mane and pulled me to the basement, I struggled to get away, but he was so much older then me, and stronger. Even his wings were huge. He threw me down and I fell down the rest of the steps, when I landed I felt a sharp pain in my left wing. I cried out and he laughed, "your such a wimp, you cant even walk down the stairs right". He sauntered toward me, his hooves clapping on the cement floor, I saw a flash in the corner of my eye and saw the cuffs, not again, please no.

He grabbed my mane again, but before I knew what I was doing I kicked him and he flew back and hit the wall with a thud. I stood frozen for a second before dashing up the stairs and to the front of the house. I barely reached the door when he bit my tail and pulled me back, I screamed and kicked him in the muzzle, he yelped and fell back, this time I didn't stop, I ran. I ran out of the house and to the ever free forest. Not looking back.

*Rainbow Dash POV*

I can't believe i left scootaloo in the dust. Forgot her like an old bag of papers. Or books. I kicked the wall in anger. I can't believe I fell asleep reading the last daring do book! I wish I had never gotten into the first book at all! Now I can't find scootaloo anywhere. She isnt with sweetie and apple bloom, she isnt at the schoolyard. I was just flying over the lake when I spotted a flash of blue by a tree. Scootaloos scooter! I zoomed over and looked around. "scoot?!" I was about to call again when I heard a faint whimper, so faint I almost didn't hear it. I flew up to the clouds and looked around, I stopped just in time to see a flash of orange and magenta dart into the ever free forest. Scootaloo!
