Chapter 7 A tragedy

Years began to pass by and the family was as close as could be. Because their work was on the farm they got to spend a lot of time together. Pretty soon Cherry Blossom told the little family she was expecting another filly. The family was happy that there would soon be a new addition to the family.

The third child, was a filly. She was a light yellow with a pink mane and tail. Much like apple's parents Apple and Cherry blossom decided to name their new filly based on her personality. They brought the baby home, where they posed in front of the barn for a picture. cherry took the ribbon that apple had given her all those years ago on their first date and tied it in the baby's mane...

That night Apple and Cherry awoke to screaming. They looked out the window to see smoke rising from a nearby neighbors house. The house was on fire. They race out towards the burning house to see if they could help. The family was trembling outside. The mother was crying. "My twins!" "My Twins!, they are still inside!" Apple and cherry raced over "don't worry we will help." Together they raced into the building. "You go upstairs, and I'll go down." Said Apple. Cherry nodded once before racing up the stairs. "Hello?" She called out. She heard crying in a nearby room and raced in to see a young blue colt with an orange mane cowering. In the corner.

"I'm here to help you." she said "what's your name?" The little colt trembled. "Rain drop!" He replied. "Come on rain drop," cherry said "let's get you back to your family." They raced downstairs to meet Apple and Rain drop's brother Blue Sky. Just as they were heading towards the door, they hear a large creaking and cracking. They looked up to see part of the roof falling right on top of Apple and blue sky! Apple quickly pushed the young colt out of the way causing the flaming debris to come crashing down on him. "Apple!" Cried Cherry. "Get them out..." He said weakly. "No apple i won't leave you!" Cherry said through tears. "Get them out," he repeated. "If you don't this will all be for nothing!" "Okay my love," she said. She led the trembling colts out to the family... "Oh thank you!" Said the mother, but Cherry was already racing back inside to aid her husband.

She found him under the still burning rubble, "apple!" She cried. "Save yourself, Cherry." He replied in a very weak voice. "No!, I'm not going to leave you, I'm going to save you!" Cherry said with tears steaming down her face. "It's to late, my love" he replied. "I have always loved you." Said apple with a smile. "Then allow me to give you one last gift." Said cherry. She paced forward and took his hoof. She began to sing a beautiful and peaceful lullaby. She sang until she felt her husband's strength weaken and give out. With tears in her eyes she dropped his hoof "i will always love you, my apple." She said. She turned and ran towards the door, when she got outside she collapsed. The medics and fireponies had finally arrived. They raced Cherry blossom to the hospital, they tried everything they could but it was no use, she later died of too much smoke inhalation...

AN I am sorry, if this made you cry, i cried writing it, anyways cherry singing to apple was of course inspired by katniss singing to rue in the hunger games...(that scene always makes me cry :( ) the next chapter will be the last chapter, so please read and review... As always I loves you all!
