It was happening, I could see my ponies struggle, in the end they pulled through. I was keeping in contact with them this whole time through my counter part. It was strange seeing this world through there eyes, hear there thoughts. The many different feras that plauged there minds or the insercurties they might have. I never would imagined that Big Sis was ashamed of herself, or that Mouse and Lion were wanting things to work out again. The unspoken words are the ones you want to hear the most. I could feel something insided me change as I finished viweing there progress. It was fuzzy really, certain things were blurred out. Names were'nt said clearly enough, it was mostly out of focus, the only tthing I could truly hear clearly was they emotion displayed during each of there delimas. Other ponies they have interacted with were still a mystery but I trusted that they got what I wanted...they pulled through, for me...Even Butter held her own...I must not overlook that.

Lions den was my home for about two days now. I was hoping they would be done sooner but the third day looked promised. I couldn't see into there minds again. The strain was immense, my eyes would bleed regularly just glimspsing a small bit of there lives. I had to wait for them to return. Their success could be short lived if Malories mares caught up to them...what if I sent them in a death trap. For the first time in a while, I worried for my mares, my children. These ponies where so loyal, I wouldn't want them to die for me, its expected but I love them too much to let them go...

You can't be so attached...some of them will die Silver....

Yes, I know...but I wont let that weaken me. My mares, my little ponies, they are growing up...there mother is just worried for them. The world outside is so dangerous, filled with carnage and blood. Its a reality most ignore but i'm to smart not to aknowlege it. I always wondered why me though. What was I? Why can't I remember things that happened to me as a filly...when Celestia was my friend, my mother? Why did I feed off of love, lust, affection...pain...flesh...? What am I susposed to be...

...When the time comes Silver...i'll let you know everything I do...

If you say so...I decided to sleep as a comotion outside escalated,it became white noise. Soon the third day would appear and I would wait for my children to arrive...

"What the hell happened chick!" The voice was loud enough to wake me up . I opened my eyes and searched the room, no one...I resumed sleeping, hoping it was just my imagination.

"We had a...disagreement...but I mean no harm to you or any pony your with. I attacked her, but I see now that I was wrong." The calm voice was barely audible. I now realized the voices were coming through the door.

"You must be Bella," this voice sounded prideful, confident," I thought you'd be at Silvers throat! Change of heart?"

"The past is the past, I'm willing to see what she has in mind," the silence fell quick as she finished.

"I told you guys like ten times to leave ya know, she's still sleeping. So I'd move until she wakes up." I believe this voice was one of the guards. My hearing was still fuzzy...

"Whatever, let's get out of here and wait for this mare to loose that stick up her ass," the vice had a familiar accent," let's go cielo, we'll wait in the court yard."

I heard numerous hoof steps walk away from the door. My army of ponies I presume,"Just come get us if anything happens...." The worried voice faded away at the sound of wings flapping.

"Remember when it was Lion in here, now she's getting beat up by tattooed freaks!" The voice was not happy with that realization. I knew that must have been Iron.

"Oh can it will ya, that crazy thing doesn't care and neither should you!" The other voice commented. That was defiantly Theta.

"Jeez Theta, did some pony break all your toys when you were a filly? Why are you so-" the voice cut out. The sound of something heavy hit the floor. It was a very distintive thud...Silence filled the air. The tension started to make me sweat. Its not like I haven't been in situations like this before, I just had a hard time getting prepared for an unknown. After almost dying I really felt weak after that...she was an expert, wasn't I one? I could hear the hoof steps fom outside walk away, a buzzing noise started to fill my head.

"Silver! Silver! Are you ok...?!" It was Cutter!? She called out to me, but soemthing felt wrong. The buzzing started to get louder. I rose from my cot and started for the door. I stayed silent and listened a little harder...," Silver, I heard a strange noise...I was just worried....Iron and Theta just left for some reason." Her voice got more sincere as she continued," I have something I need to tell you Silver...I just need to know that your inside....please Silver, ah know i've been hard to read lately...i'm just confused..."

I thought it over...the buzzing sound was gone. I still had an uneasy feeling well up in my stomach, but I haven't seen Cutter in so long...," I'm here Cutter...you can come in..."

Cutter unlatched the door and opened it, a smile found its way on my lips. I was excited to see the mare again...she was always so secretive but I knew me and her would come to an understanding one day. Maybe today...maybe she'll...," Oh my! It seems i'm not your precious little Cutter! Well well, looks like i'll just have to spill the beans, yeah?!" Nigh Gale put her hoof to her mouth and giggled. How! How can it be...I killed her...I...I ate her. I even smashed her horn. Theres no way! "I'm back ,Silver. I wish I could draw this out as much as you did to me...but I guess i'll just have to get over it...!"

"How! How can you still be alive?! I murded you, you can't be here its impossible!" I screamed, I was getting afraid...I don't think I've ever been this scared...Crasher? Mom? Dad? Dammit...Luna? Some pony help me...

"Calm down Silver...I thought you'd be more worried about your mare friend Cutter. By the way how you like the new vest, Its bulky but very stylish. I think the letters clash with my tail, what do you think?" Night Gale turned around. Sure enough the letters on her back read 'ESP'. the same letters on Cutters vest...no...not Cutter. I wanted her...she can't be. Tears started to form in my eyes...I was breaking down in front of the enemy, Silver pull it together! "Your such a drama queen! Shes fine, gosh! We just tortued her a bit, gave her some lumps...we even wanted to see her squirm as we let one of the bucks touch her in Black Label...don't get too worried. She broke his hoof, what a strong mare huh? Well once we'er done here i'll let her know the good news, and then i'll kill her slowly. Sounds fair doesn't it?"

My tears of despair turned into tears of rage. I was so angry...it was a childish anger. I felt like she was stealing my buck friend in higschool," Cutter is mine you fucker!" I ran towards the dark blue mare. She smirked as her horn glew red. I was thrown back to the wall. My back made a popping sound when I tried to rise. I could hear her sniker at my folly.

"Well done Silver...you've finally gotten weak, your so pathetic. You know what your problem is...you care too much...you should have killed the things in your way and left it t that...but you were so caught up in being loved you made a little mistake...." Night gale lifted me up and stratcehd my limbs outward. It felt like she was about to rip me in half!" You kept Butter and Dot alive...with them still here I could come back...I'm not even worried honestly. I know you Silver, better than you think. Theres no way you'd kill them, you love them too much. I would have been the same...but you crossed a line..."

"Your alive because...Dot and Butter are still alive...! That doesn't make any since! AHHHH!" My limbs started to slowly twist, my cast was beginning to break.

"I did a little magic trick...it wasn't easy. It required a lot of sacrifices, but it was worth it. Eternal life in its beta stage if you will." Night Gale slammed me into the ground and dragged me to her hooves. Her right hoof dug into the back of my head," I will keep comming back...so make it easy on me and die today..."

She lifted me up and threw me outside. I hit the wall and fell to the ground in a heap. I saw Theta and Iron, they seemed to still be alive, there chest rose fast and they seemd to be...thirsty,"Z-zeta? I-iron...?"

They both looked at me with red puffy eyes, here lips where cracked. All they could do was rasp a few words, they fell unconcious as Night Gale emerged from the room.

"There dying of thirst Silver, don't be rude and try to talk to them. Jeez, I thought you had a heart," Night Gale walkd over to me and lifted me up in her magic," Thats enough fun I guess...how does being ripped apart sound to you. A slow start with an adrupt end...yeah thats perfect!"

My limbs slowly stretched out again, I could fell them start to pop. My skin was reaching its limit. No, I can't die...not now! "SILVER!" Sky Breakers voice was the most wonderful thing to hear. She came crashing into Night Gale as I fell out of her grip," Fuck you, you bitch! Don't ever touch her again!" Breaker punched Night gale twice and broke her nose. Night Gale materialized small knives and dug them in Breakers back,"AHHHhAAHH!, Thread! Bombs!"

A cream mare threw two charges, one landed at the far end of the hall, the other right behind Night Gale. Me, Breaker, Theta and Iron were pulled back by the twins magic. I watched as Night Gale looked shocked and was enveloped in the blast. The smoke cleared, I was torn to shreads with the different emotions. I was overjoyed to see my mares, confused about the newer ones, and furious that Cutter was being tortued and fondled in the Black Label prison. I walkd over to the wreckage. The ceiling had caved in, Night Gales body was pinned to the waist down under the rubble. Her horn had been shattered by a cender block. She was strugglig to get free, the remaing bits of her horn sparked and fizzled. The strain made the top of her head bleed. She screamed out in pain," AHHH! I'll get you Silver! Theres nothing you can do to stop me *cough*" one of her busted hooves reached out to me, she was only worried about killing me...even as her body lay crushed under the rubble, her only thought was killing me.

I raised my casted hoof and bashed her head, I felt her skull crack," SHUT UP!" I kept going. I beat her head in. she would moan in pain as I contiued. All of the ponies behind me stared in awe. I smashed her head until theres was nothing left. It felt like I had reached the ground. Night Gale would be back no matter how hard I tried...but dammit I had to try...She's right...I love them too much, I could never kill them. I'll make sure not to mention this to any pony, it would complicate things...

"Chica...its over...please Silver, stop..." Breaker had a sad experssion on her face,"It's one thing for other ponies to hurt you...but I can't stand watching you do it to yourself...," Breaker hugged me briefly and let go," Please stop..."

"Cutter...we have to go to Black Label...," I walked past all of my mares and the newer ones," Welcome...I hope you all packed for a permeant stay..." I walked out of the cell block and headed for the Black Label prison.

After the Twins healed everyone we filled Iron and Theta in on what was going on. They were more than happy to escort us to the prison and help me save Cutter. We marched to Black Label, the front gates were being guarded by two mares.

"We need to get through, now..." Irons voice was filled with malice. Her anger almost surpassed mine...almost. The guards took one look at us and hurridly opened the door. The second mare scrammbled out the way for fear of being trampled.

"We don't even know where she is..." Theta was getting annoyed," I mean...we can't save her if we can't find her!"

"I know...," I said passing through a tunnel,"We will find her..."

We arrived at a cell block that was ritteld with trashy mares and diseased ridden bucks. I wasn't taking in the view much, I just wanted my Cutter back. She was mine and no pony can take her! The ponies saw that we were amrying down the middle of the cell block. None of them dared get any closer. A zebra, however, stood in my way. She smiled brightly, she was backed up by a Griffin and a pink mare with cheetah print on the right side of her face," Sorry pony, You can't just walk through here with you posse like that. You kinda broke a rule ya know?" The Zebra smiled and poked my chest," I hope you have a generous payment system honey," The nerve of this...

"Jest, ya gotta back off Silv-"

*SMACK*

The zebra mare went down and clasped her cheek. She watched as I stood over her," I'm only going to ask you once. Where is Cutter?" The zebras friends started to get closer. The zebra halted them and began to speak.

"Just keep walking through the hall, there'll be a bar. Shes going to be in a warehouse looking place adjacent to it. Its covered in curtains, you can't miss it..."

She didn't look afraid, or upset about me hitting her. I kissed her deeply and threw her to the ground," Thanks....Theta, Iron! Your with me, the rest of you stay here!"

"Shit jest i'm sorry bout that, hah, Silvers just a little upset," Lion said as she helped the Zebra up.

"No problem Lion, I actually like her..." She smiled and rubbed her cheek," That look in her eyes though, I wouldn't want to cross her."

I made my way to the cell. The drapes were acting as doors. I trotted through and saw Cutter hanging from a ceiling. Between me and her were a few bucks covering the small hallway,"Hey bitch you need t-" I slapped his head with my hoof, his neck snapped. His body fell limp to the ground. The bucks in the back with Cutter didn't pay us any attention as there tried to stick there hooves inside her. She kicked and struggled. Poor Cutter, she was blindfoled and it didn't look like she had the will to say anything...Please be the Cutter I still want...Two more bucks came running at me. I met them half way and slammed there heads together. They dropped to the floor. I picked up a pipe and bashed there heads in until there heads looked like smushed water melon. The remaining bucks ran outside while the two trying to rape my Cutter took her down from th eceiling and tried to rut her from behind. I raced to them as fast as I could. Cutter bucked the the stallion in the face but he only got madder.

"I'm gonna fuck you real good now!" The buck yelled beginning to thrust inside her. Before he could touch her, I broke hisface with the pipe. The other stallion tried to pin me down but I broke his ribs with one solid swing. He fell to his side and I hit him over and over again. He sat there still...a pull of blood covered the floor he lay on. Small shaky wet breaths were the only thing he produced.

"*cough* *cough* Silver...you came after me didn't you..." She rasped quietly.

"Cutter! I'm so sorry!" I hugged the mares neck. I hoped on the table and undid the restraints. I pulled the blind fold down to her neck and saw her blood shot eyes wince at the light.

"Don't be sorry..." She coughed loudly," I fought them off, I knew you'd come for me...I don't know why but that kept me fighting..."

"Cutter, I...! I didn't want this to happen! Did they...did they..." I couldn't say it...was I so jealous that some other pony besides me got to Cutter before I did?

"They didn't...you saved me...thank you Silver...," I started to cry. I held her head in my haunches as my tears dripped on her mane. It was all down, wavy and beautiful...," Shhh, shhhh, Its alright...I'm ok Silver. Thanks to you, i'm here, i'm still with you.."

"Cutter...*sob* *sob*...I don't want to loose you..." I pulled her in to a hug as she lay on the table,"I love you..."

Cutters hooves squeezed me tight around my midsection. She nuzzled my stomach,"No more games Silver...when your ready...i'll be waiting for you..."

"Cutter...." I lifted her head, I needed to see her say it,"...you don't have to..."

"Its what you always wanted...I always wanted...I'm tired of playing hard ta get," She put her hoof on mine. Her eyebrows furrowed,"I've felt this way for too long...When your ready Silver, i'll give in to you..."

I nodded my head. She stood up shakily and wiped the tears from my face. Cutter kissed me and jumped from the platform. Theta and Iron helped Cutter get out of the cell. I followed them shortly after. I was happy that Cutter wanted me, but I was still hurt by the fact that its seemed like the only thing that mattered. I hated myself for that...would I have still saved her if I didn't want her anymore. I walked back to the entrance of the cell block we first arrived in. As I passed the bar...I swear I saw a jade mare wink at me...

It didn't matter, Cutter was safe. Now lets get to the other issue...my new children...
