My Little Pony: Legends of Equestria
Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Unimaginable
Previous Chapter Next ChapterJust when I thought things could not get worse, they did. As I read through the book, I heard a shocked voice from behind me. It was Applejack.
"Twilight? Sugarcube, wake up." Having no idea of what was going on; I curiously turned around to find Twilight lying motionless on the floor, surrounded by her friends, who stood there, looking down at the still unicorn with depression and sorrow.
"What's going on?" I asked, extremely confused and worried at the same time. Then Applejack walked towards me, taking of her hat and sliding towards her chest in a sign of defeat. I knew what was going on, but I chose not to believe it. It just can't be. This cannot be happening. Applejack then looked up, tears on her face.
"Crimson…" she said. "Twilight, she won't wake up. We've tried everythin' but she just ain't wakin' up." My gaze instantly flew towards Twilight's frozen body. It just can't be true.
"Check her pulse!" I said, my heart skipping countless beats. Steelwing rushed towards Twilight, knelt down, and reached for her right-front hoof. He sighed, closing his eyes in disappointment. This is not a good sign, I thought to myself. "Is she alright?" I asked. Steelwing looked up at me, and shaked his head.
"I'm afraid not… I am so sorry." In that moment, my heart shaped in two, my legs gave out and I fell down, straight to the ground, crying in utter agony.
"Crimson." Said Scooter, trying to comfort me. "Everything's gonna be alright."
"No its not!" I replied between tears. "Twilight is dead, and it's all because of me!" I paused for a second. "If only I hadn't told her to do that spell, if only I would've sucked my fear and faced those monsters, she would be still with us." I stopped to catch my breath, then slowly and quietly said, "I'm sorry, Twilight. It's all my fault… all my fault… all… my….. fault…"
I then broke out into a pool of tears for so long until I eventually lost track of time. Twilight is dead and it is all my fault. Those nine horrible words kept on mocking me, beating me up, until finally I was left helpless, demolished, crying beside a dead body. Not just any dead body, Twilight Sparkle's dead body. Then, involuntarily, I looked forward unto Twilight's dull, motionless corpse. As I moved closer to Twilight's face, I whispered the words. "I love you…"
