A Winter's Rose
Chapter 27: Chapter 27. Just an average Sunday.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDear Diary.
Sorry that I haven’t made an entry in a couple of days, it just that there wasn’t much to talk about. The next day after the party, Night and I hung out for awhile with Summer as a tag along. We did pretty boring things like; talk about tom girl stuff, who was the hottest mare of Playpony and caught a movie. Summer was an asshat as usual, but she wasn't one in front of Night’s face for some reason like I thought she would, but whatever. Summer made a stupid comment about having more money than me, which was true as made sure that the vast majority of my funds get pumped back into my county that Celestia dropped on me during Night and I's date. Night basically broke and asked me to make her a princess, which I said no, but since Summer ratted me out, I made a comment about how Summer was going to be my lustrous maid for my castle if one was going to be made but I know my cultists. I could very much get one in a musical montage in less than a month. Thus, I began designing my castle after our date.
The day after was a bit interesting. After I did my morning ritual of self-harm via Wonderbolt grade exercises, I decided to walk around the campus. Summer complained the entire time about wanting to go back to sleep. I have heard rumors about this thing called, The Trinity Seven, while I listened to a group of colts cat calling me and Summer. I found it rather funny that these fillies are watched 24/7 by the royal guard to prevent them from destroying the school and that they were all in class A. I had to look over at my shoulder with a smile to our guards before I bolted like a rocket to see if I could loose them. Spoilers! I didn't.
Saturday was fairly boring. We just lounge around, read a book and drank coffee. Summer didn't say a word to me other than the odd insult that got really lame, really fast. On the upside! I stopped drinking coffee before bed. So that's a plus. Anyway, today is Sunday. School starts tomorrow and Summer is starting to worry me with using me as a teddy bear. I woke up in the middle of the night because I was just restless and found Summer kissing my neck and calling me a sweetheart. Since today is our last night together. I am glad that she is moving out of my room.
Though, being shocked still sucks. I have to wonder what Spitfire is up to? I bet she is missing my swearing.

Spitfire sat in her penthouse suite in Manehatten on the balcony, looking over the city. Beside her was Fleet Foot, drinking a martini. The orange mare sat on a cushion and looked in the general direction where her little thorn was at. She knew that she couldn't see the city on the side of Canterlot mountain, but she knew that Rose was there and was going to be there for the next ten months.
She couldn't help but worry for the little she-demon. Was she going to make any friends? Will she get kicked out for her mouth? Will she dominate her roommates? These, like the other thoughts in her mind, played back over and over again. Most of the time, it didn't bother her. It was when she was on her down time that it did. When she looked at books, she thought of Rose. When she posed for Playpony or walk the catwalk, she thought of her. Wondering what her face would look like as she performed on the stage that wasn't the Wonderbolts. She let loose a sigh and took a swig of beer that was in a glass beside her on a small table as the sun began to set.
"So, you know the location boss?" Fleet Foot perked up after downing her green martini. Spitfire yawned and downed her beer. "Yeah, the target is in the room on the lower floor in room 769. Sergent S is waiting for us the disposal site. Corporal B is on the roof with the evac carriage," Spitfire said as she pulled out a blade from her wings and tested it's sharpness.
"Got it, I'll make sure we are alone," Fleet Foot saluted before she left the balcony to do her part.
Spitfire sighed again, wonder how Rose would react that her modeling side career was just a ruse to assassinate targets that were a threat to Equestria and her allies. Then again, she knew that if Rose was to stay on the guard track, she might get recruited by the Skyguard or even the Shadow Wraths if she showed promise. She dreaded the day that her little thorn was going to join such a life-threatening career.
Spitfire put the blade back in its hiding place and went to work.

I yawned myself awake after a quick nap in the afternoon of Sunday. I had nothing better to do, so I thought I would spend my time being lazy. I rolled over on my really soft bed and found Summer glaring at me through tired eyes. I frowned and rolled back over, pretend I didn't see that, but Summer didn't like that.
"Get up you lazy bum! We are going to be late for the ceremony!" she shouted, pulling me off of the bed and shoved the skimpy school outfit in my face. I moaned from the pain of the fall and lazily put on the uniform while kicking myself for forgetting that today was the entrance ceremony and not tomorrow. Once I was done, with my uniform and using the bathroom, I walked out just as Summer turned around giving me a really erotic view of her flank and her cutie mark.
I wondered how she got her cutie mark as we walked together to the grand hall in the main building where a few thousand fillies and colts were gathering. Her cutie mark was similar to mine as it was one for combat. She had a kite shield that was outlined with gold with a gold rose-head in full bloom at the center, she had a halberd and a battleax crossing behind the shield, and she had three stars; one at the top of the shield, one to the left and one to the right.
That thought ended when I bumped into a familiar filly that was the very definition of, "Edgy." I rubbed my nose as I looked at a very pissed Solar Eclipse. Beside her was another filly that had the same color pattern like Sol, but it was red on black not black on red. The pony beside her gave me a smirk and backed away, Summer followed suit as a small crowd began to form.
"So, it's the egghead from the train," she smugly grinned.
"So, it's the cunt I knocked out on the train," I replied, causing everyone to gasp, even her opposite. From the scowl she gave me to that comment, I decided to turn on air sight just in case she went into, 'Full Metal Punching Fits,' at my face.
"That was a cheap shot and you know it," she growled as I saw four guards come into view.
"You said I was allowed one free hit, so it's your fault for being stupid," I spat back. Sol didn't like that as I saw and strangely felt her muscles tense up, signaling me that she was going to aim at my face with a sucker punch.
"Yeah, I won't lie about that, but now that I have you here. I'm going to break your scared up face in, in front of everyone!" she shouted.
She cleared the small distance in between me and her and threw a punch that was directed at my face, but I was ready. I moved my head out of the way like a boss and pushed her back as she recovered from her epic miss.
'Thanks Spits for teaching me this trick,' I thought as I watched Sol get up from her awkward tumble. She gave me a dark glare and stood on her hind legs and rolled her shoulders to make her look more intimidating. I rolled my eyes and stood on my back legs too and placed my left hoof behind my back and my right hoof out and did the, 'come at me bro,' gesture with a flick of the wrist.
She didn't like that and charged at me like a quarterback. I smiled as she bounded up in the air with her right hoof winding back. I jumped back just before Sol hit me and saw her hoof collide with the ground, creating a giant crater where I used to stand. I made a note not to get hit by that thing because I liked living.
She pulled her hoof out of the ground like it was nothing and charged at me again, this time staying on the ground. It was at this point in time that I realized the guards weren't coming in to stop her like I thought they would. Instead, they were watching in fear for their lives if they were to get involved. Just as I was about to make fun of the guards for being assholes, I saw the other girl grab a couple of swords from the dazed guards and tossed one to me and one to her sister.
I quickly armed myself as the two walked up to me on their back legs, each wielding a sword. 'Talk about unfair,' I thought as I tested the weight of my new blade. The two took that as an opening and charged at me in perfect unison. Sol jumped up into the air again while her sister ducked and thrust into my throat. It was at this moment that I realized that they were trying to kill me or permanently send me to the hospital. I jumped back again and parried the thrust, causing the blade to stab into the ground.
Sol was quick to recover from her jumping attack and began a relentless barrage of clumsy swings at me while I blocked the odd strike or redirected another. Her sister was quick to join back in, causing me to slowly walk back as they tried to break through my perfect defense while I had to make a plan to take them down before something bad really happens, that's when it hit me.
With a smile on my face, I began to generate electricity throughout my body like Feather Flight had taught me to improve my speed and endurance for flying. The two earth pony fillies didn't realize what I was about to do as we clanged and clashed our blades while everyone watched in awe and fear.
In my free hoof, I made a ball of spinning air and directed all the voltage that I suddenly gained into it, causing it to create a ball of condensed, spinning, blue, plasma. The two back peddle a bit while I stepped up my game so that I can grow the ball as big as I need it. I went faster, and harder, striking at their haphazard defenses. Sol's sister had to jump back a few feet, giving me just enough room to use my ball on Sol.
I smacked her sword to the side, exposing her chest for what I was about to do next. I brought my hoof with the ball and thrust it at her chest yelling, "Rasengan!" I watched in awe as I pushed the ball into her chest, causing it to look like it was imploding, then, in a split-second. Sol went flying back to the other side of campus, destroying trees, statues, and a shed before she stopped like a meteor struck the earth.
Everyone stared at me in horror as I stared at my smoking hoof. Her sister ran towards her to see if she was alright while the guards tackled me to the ground and knocked me out.
I woke up a few hours later, back in the detention room. My head was killing me and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. My body was so sore, it was like I had a marathon with Lockhearts tentacle rape machines. I looked around the dimly lit room and saw four other fillies that were tied to their chairs. Two of them I remembered from the fight, the other two, however, not so much. Just as I was about to ask what the other two were doing here, the door opened up and ten ponies walked in.
The first few ponies I remembered from the last time I was in here. Storm Call, the Headmaster, Captain Emerald, Shadow Step and Light step walked in with a few others I didn't recognize. Storm was absolutely pissed when he saw me while the Headmaster was indifferent to everything. The others had a neutral mask on, unfortunately. Storm walked up to me and glared at me in utter hate while I just smiled like I did nothing wrong. He didn't like that.
"So, who taught you illegal combat magic and gave you the authority to use it Miss Rose?" he growled like a dying dog.
"No one," I said, the Headmaster raised a brow in response. "I taught myself it on the train a while ago, by mixing two passive pegasi only spells and before you asked why. Those two tried to cut me up with a couple of stolen swords for no reason," I pointed to Sol and her sister. They gave me dirty looks while the Headmaster chuckled with sadistic joy. Storm, however, was not impressed.
"That does not give you the authority to use that..." he was about to rant before I cut him off by slicing the ropes that tied me to my chain.
"There was four guards watching the entire thing! Hell, all four of them were just a few meters away. You can't say shit when your own guards that, from what I have heard, are suppose to prevent the Trinity Seven from killing each other. I have self-defense on my side as well as I have diplomatic immunity to you! Do you know what Luna would do if she found out that a world leader was killed on her very school she funded!" Storm back up with his ears against his head. The Headmaster was smiling like a mad mare while everyone else stared at me in shock.
"She would send you all to the fucking moon! So fuck you Storm!" I shouted as I walked out the door. I turned around to look at pony one last time before I turned back around and slammed the door shut in all their faces.

Dear Diary.
Today was a good day. I got into a fight, was knocked out, tied up, had a short tribunal, and stormed off back to my room to cry for a while because Emotions suck! I was absolutely pissed that Storm tried to throw me under the bus like Celestia for his incompetent guards! However, the reason I began to cry, holding Midna while hiding under my bed was because I don't fucking know!?
I couldn't tell if it was because my body felt like a board or because I might get kicked out, and school hasn't even started yet!
With that aside, the rest of the day was fairly quiet. Summer didn't dare say a word to me and stayed as far away from me as possible. Rumors were already spreading about me and a few others that I assumed were a part of The Trinity Seven. I got the cool nickname, 'The Untouchable Queen,' while the others got pretty cool names too.
Apparently, there was this filly that goes by the name of Autumn Rose. She got the name, 'Maiden of Death,' after she had a duel with thirty, highly trained guards...At once...While she wielded twelve swords with her telekinesis and a long sword with her hooves. That was just...No, just no. The girls that I fought had a couple of cool names too, even though they were on my shit list. Sol got the name, 'Warmachine,' while her sister, Lunar Eclipse, got the name, 'Razor.'
There was this other girl, Spring Rose, that had a nickname too, but how she got it should be impossible. She got the name, 'Shadow Fox,' because she stole an entire candy store. By 'entire,' I mean like the entire building; walls, doors, foundation, roof and everything else. The guards found the fully intact building on the mountain along with a crap ton of other stuff. Apparently, it was her clubhouse. I didn't dare to comprehend how she was able to steal a three-story building overnight, nor did anyone else. I already had enough brain damage from trying to figure out how Autumn could wield thirteen swords without a problem.
Anywho, Night, and Summer were the only ones of the Trinity Seven not to get a cool nickname yet. Which was really sad, they weren't part of the cool and deadly club. One day Summer, you will be as awesome as me.
Anyways, it's getting late and Summer is already sleeping on my bed for the last night. She told me that I wasn't going to be kicked out because I was in the right of the fight, so that's a plus.
Goodnight you stupid book. I'm going to cuddle with Summer tonight, even though I hate her as much as she hates me. I needz the cuddlez!
