Emerald doesn’t know why, but he feels the rage bubble up inside him. The anger of everything he’s had to put up with until now. Everything he’ll have to put up with because of this.
He yells and screams at his step mother, saying that he doesn’t have to explain anything, and that Papillon wanted him too. He says that they do things to him all the time, so what right do they have to keep him from doing it to someone else? In addition he insults anything he can about her looks and her choice of clothing.
Emerald’s step mother is apoplectic with shock. He can see the fury building inside her, but even as tears of frustration slide down his face he stands his ground. Emerald is tired of it. Tired of everything.
“Clearly you need to learn your place.” The unicorn says icily, “You will go to the playroom, and we will see if we can’t punish that defiant streak out of you.”

>Rolled 4, failed.
Emerald’s legs start to shake, and then with his head bowed, starts to walk towards the bad room.
Emerald chokes up at this point, and Ruby looks over to him, looking worried.
“Hey, we don’t need to go on, alright? It’s okay, I don’t care, heh. Let’s talk about something else.” Ruby says, giving the colt a worried smile.
Emerald shakes his head and says it’s okay, that he wants to get this all out. it actually is making him feel better talking about it. Though he doesn’t want to relive what happened that day, so he’ll skip that part.
Levitating the exhausted, bruised, and sopping wet colt out of the “playroom”, Emerald’s step mom says,
“And don’t think I’m done with you. That was just a warm up. I’m going to go get your father. Clean yourself up before he arrives, and put on the short, tight, pink dress.”
The mare then walks out of the room, slamming the door behind her and locking the room tight.
Emerald fell to the floor, holding himself tightly, and wept.
