3: Taken
Dash put on her navy blue hoodie and then her red cap
Still humming the tune she fed her pet turtle some more lettuce and left her house. She looked left and then right before taking off. The sun was just about to rise and she flew gracefully into the blue sky.
She used to do it with her father, before he passed away leaving his daughter alone to fend for herself.
She saw that the market was already filled with a few ponies even at this early in the morning. She doved down and landed behind a cart full of hay stacks. Her stomach growled as shw looked around for a store of food. Her eyed landed on a little Milk cafe. It looked exactly like the milk cafe she got humiliated at when she was 15.
Anger bubbled up, but she tried to control it. Taking a deep breath, she she pulled up her hoodie and looked for food elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Shinning and some of his colleges were on the same street. He had casted a cloud walkway spell for him and a few others who aren't a pegasi "Remember we're looking for this mare! Only this mare! For now we must ignore the other crimes, our main priority is Rainbow Dash, Understood?" Shinning said.
"Sir yes sir!" The stallions saluted and went their separate ways.
Shinning Armour went north, checking anypony who seemed suspicious.
*********
Rainbow sneaked to the back of the Apple store undetected. She went to the storage room and put some apples on her rack-sack. She also took a few bites, not being able to contain her anger no more.
Then kept dead quiet. The door swung open and a beefy stallion stepped in. He wore simply a red shirt but nothing on his behind. Ponies don't usually wear clothes anyway, but they can if they want to.
The Stallion started stacking up a few boxes containing apples. Dash backed away into the shadows but accidentally hit a loose stacking of apples sending it tumbling down on her head. "OUCH!" She cried out.
"Thief! Help! A Thief in the storage room!" The stallion cried out and rushed to a nearby lever and pulled it.
It triggered the alarm and soon ponies started coming. Dash tried to fight them off but they were too many, and she was week from hunger. "Lemme go!
Then she was knocked out and soon everything went black.
********
"Thanks for the help Mr. Armour! This filly has been trouble for years" The owner of the Apple store thanked the white unicorn.
"No problem, she'll be in good hooves" Shinning said confidently. Dash stirred and whimpered. Shinning stared at the rainbow haired mare. "Lucky for you headmaster Silverdoe is kind and has a thing for children, he wants to help kids like you, ones with ruined lives and became this" Shinning said to the unconscious filly.
They put her inside a sack with holes so she could breath and carried her to the Everfree forest.
Dash's POV
My eyes slowly opened. I was inside a sack! I kicked and punched. There were muffled voices. " She's awake already?" A deep voice asked. There were others too.
"Don't underestimate her, I read in her file all the things she's done, can't you belieave it? The Queen of thieves! Better watch out if we start missing valuables"
What are they planning for me? "Where are you taking me?!" I demanded, pissed.
"You'll soon find out little filly" Said one of them. I tried to buck and then just started screaming and panicking.
Finally I was let out. I quickly crawled out of the sack and then came face to face with an old orange unicorn. He had a kind face but I stayed on my guard. "What hell is going on here?" I demanded. I eyed my surroundings. Looks like I'm in a school principal's office.
"Ahhh Miss Dash we've been expecting you, I trust you find your transport well?" He asked.
"Yea I did, Cause I just love getting knocked out and put into a manky old sack and taken off in the middle of nowhere!" I said sarcasticly.
"ahhh good! Because now you are enrolling here! To Bloors Academy! Where all your kind go! Welcome to your new home" The stallion said.
"What?! NEW HOME?! WHAT ARW YOU TALKIN' ABOUT!" I yelled and made to pounce on him but I was held back by two ponies. Bodyguards probably.
"He means you will be staying here like this is your home" somepony said from behind me.
I turned around and saw a pair of bright green eyes staring back at me. The colt had navy blue mane that was a little wild, his coat was pale blue.
"Uhh yea I knew that, what I meant was that why would I wanna stay here when I have my own home to go back to? And what about my stuff? And my pet will be hungry!" I listed my reasons and faced the headmaster.
"Oh that has already been taken care of. Here in this school you bad kids go back to being kind and caring. We reform the worse of the worse! And because you have the highest ranking of trouble making, -The Queen of thieves-I thought of helping you reform, do forgive me for not introducing but I run this place, my name is Silverdoe and that young colt over there is Soarin Skies" Mr. Silverdoe said.
I looked at the colt again. And then back at old stallion infront of me.
"What if I don't want your help?" I said rudely.
"Sorry Miss Dash but even if you don't want to, you'll have to stay. Because you've caused enough trouble back in Cloudsdale. Your robberies make ponies feel unsafe. Do you not feel guilty?" Silverdoe went on.
"No" I said flatly.
"Exactly! You need our help, and we would love to help you, like it or not Missy you will be staying here until you graduate and reform, this way you might have a shot of making new friends amd having a better future someday! Don't you want thay?"
At the mention of friendship I flinched. I haven't used that word for years. It disgusts me.
But there is no point in arguing, I'll be stuck here like it or not anyways.
I sighed, giving in. "Fine! Whatever, ok I'll stay here" He smiled and gestured for Soarin to step forward.
"Soarin do please lead Rainbow to her dormitory? And she will all her belongings already there"
"Including my pet?!" I asked anxiously. He chuckled. "Yes, yes, including your pet.
I sighed in relief. I stood up and followed that colt out of the office but then Silverdoe stopped us again. "You may give her a tour Soarin! This way she won't get lost, and just in case I think it be best if you take her lead for a few days until she memmorizes the school, this way you'd get to know her better"
He winked at Soarin. Soarin nodded before pushing me forward. We walked in ugter silence. We passed a few walls lined with paintings and big windows.
"Uh when I open this door it be best if you just stick close to me, wouldn't want you dead on your first day won't you?" Soarin said.
Ok what did he mean by that?
I just nodded. "Great" he said again and smirked before pushing open the great iron doors. Revealing a loud hallway with lockers and kids. I saw some who are my age.
I followed Soarin and like he said, I stuck close to him. I grinned secretly, now this is the kind of place I really belong! I don't know why but I have a feeling like for the first time in my whole life I'll finally belong.
I saw a group of colts beating each other up. Some mares smoking, some were vandalizing the lockers. Other studenst are just doing the hell they want! And that is fine by me!
"Keep up newbie!" I heard Soarin call me. I soon realize he was ahead of me. So I sped up and kept up with him. I almost bumoed into somepony, and they gaved me a dirty look. "Whatch yourself Dash" Soarin said.
I rolled my eyes. "I can take care of myself" I complained. "Oh really? Well then if you can take care of yourself then you should know how not to get cought, when stealing from a simple apple store" He said with a smirk.
"Do you think it's easy?!" I yelled.
"Yup" he said. I gritted my teeth.
"So much for the Queen of thieves" He said. Ok that's it! Nopony messed with me!.
"Why you little-" I began but he bolted away from me. I chased after him. "COME BACK AND FIGHT YOU CHICKEN BOY!" I yelled.
We ran around lefts and rights, boy he's fast!
"Get back here you-" I shouted.
"Aaaaaand we're here" I stopped in my tracks as I noticed we were standing in front of a big door with my cutie mark on it.
"You first" he said.
