Lifeless Sand
Chapter 5: Betrayal
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI wake up, refreshed. My wings are numb for some reason, so I go to flap them. I can't fell them at all. I look behind me, and I see them strapped to my back. I realize I am in a metal building. "Hello, Dashie."
"Fluttershy? What's going on here?" I ask, becoming terrified. Fluttershy isn't her usual, cute yellow with deep teal eyes.
"Well, you see, I'm sure you have met Bluespark."
"Yea... Why?" I feel a thick clump hit my hooves. I look down, and see the body of Bluespark.
"What, why? What happened?" I stutter.
"He knew too much. And you do too now." She says in a nearly demented voice.
"What do you mean?"
"She means that you'll be pushed out of the picture." Applejack walks into the room.
"Applejack? What's going on here?" I ask, becoming scared.
"You know too much RD, and now, your going to die. That simple." A chair oops out of the ground. It pushes me up, and straps me down.
"Sit back my dear. If it's all the same, just relax. It's not like I'm going to eat your brains." Fluttershy teases. She takes a needle, and injects me with some sort of liquid. My Body becomes numb, but not to the point where I can't feel. It's like pins and needles. "Ready, Applejack?"
"Iv been waiting for this for a long time." She takes a knife in her mouth, and walks towards me. I begin to panic, and try to squirm my way out of the chair. I can't, so I extend my wings. It breaks the tape that strapped them together, and I fly up as hard as I can. I pull myself up, but fall. I'm still numb.
"Ohhh, a fighter are we? At least it'll be fun." Fluttershy flies at me, and knocks me to the ground.
"Fluttershy! Why! I used to lo-" Fluttershy places her lips onto mine. I loose all felling of numbness and just lay there, dead in the water. She backs away, and I'm left in trance.
"I know. But you know what they say, love is a battlefield." She takes the knife, and stabs my knee. I screech out in pain, feeling the pins and needles with the knife in my knee.
"Let me try." Applejack says. Fluttershy takes out the knife, making me scream again.
"No!" I yell. I fly up with the limp knee bleeding, and fly towards a window. It closes, and I turn. I fly at the door. I get through a second before they close as well. I know I'm leaving a blood trail, so I dig into the sand. I then dig straight, hoping it creates some sort of underground cave that they won't be able to discover. I stop digging, and rest. I don't know how, but I did create a tunnel with the sand staying in place. I lie down, but feel a sharp pain in my side. It's a knife that hit me. I fly up, and see Fluttershy standing there.
"Fluttershy, why?" I say, wanting to cry.
"You really need to stop running, your only going to die tired." I fly at her, but miss because she jumps out of the way. I feel a pain on the same side again. She sliced me when I missed. I look back, and she is now chasing me. I fly as fast as I can, but fall. My body is too tired to continue. I lie there, feeling defeated. I fall asleep, exposed in the open
