Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It's already the third day in the Camp and still everything was still the same for Twilight. Though yesterday everyone thanking Twilight to lead them to the way out from the forest. Now, Twilight still enjoying her morning by sitting down on a picnic table and watched Tennis, Cloudy, Flash and Microchip played tennis game. While Sunset and the rest of her 5 friends are playing around the pier as Adagio, Sonata and Aria rowing their boat down the river. Timber and his sister are talking with the principals at the totem.

And for now, Twilight is wearing blue pants, blue T-shirt with an emblem of Everfree, and her blue jacket.

Still, nothing went wrong as Twilight hoped. Everyone have their daily stuffs to do as the sound of the mother nature is singing with its birds, breezy wind, leaves, and the sounds of the students having fun. Twilight decided to get off from her seat and headed back to the tent to get some snacks. When she walked passing the camp square, she was being stopped by Watermelody, Octavia, Baton, Ringo and Teddy for wanting to talk to her by confronting her directly. For sure they didn't want to let her go until she spoke to them.

"Hey, we want to talk to you," Watermelody said to Twilight in insist.

"Alright, what do you want from me?" Twilight asked them in cold.

"we've been wondering what bothers you," Teddy said. "Something happened to you?"

"Nothing happens to me," Twilight replied with a shook.

"Really?" Octavia asked, not convinced about it. "What about you threatened Photo yesterday? What was that about?"

"I didn't expecting any surprises yesterday," Twilight replied firmly. "So she just made me gone to a bad mood."

"Really that fast?" Baton asked in doubt of that fact.

"Yeah," Twilight answered seriously. "That fast."

"Alright," Ringo then though for a moment to find a question for her. "Why you have been so nicer with Tennis and Cloudy?"

"You're asking why I'm not very kind with Sunset and my other friends?" Twilight asked back.

"Yeah," Baton nodded. "Mind telling us why?"

Twilight eyes narrowed with that. "I just want to fix my relationship with them, for Sunset and my other friends, well it's just something personal."

"You hate them?" Watermelody asked, expecting Twilight to be surprised, wrongfully for them she didn't surprised.

"No," Twilight shook in cold. "Not that."

"The Red Day?" Ringo asked, but also receive a shook from her.

"Look, I don't want to find any trouble," Twilight said quickly but in calm. "I just want to get some food from my tent."

Twilight took a step forward but then stopped by Baton who puts her hand on Twilight's chest quickly. "Not so fast, Twilight. We're not done yet."

"Make it quick," Twilight said slowly with a hint of anger, though Twilight nearly make a fist on her right hand.

"What about what Vinyl told us about?" Teddy asked as he narrowed his left eye. "You draw someone in your book."

Twilight was caught off-guard by that. Twilight didn't say anything except staring at them dumbfoundedly. But Twilight has already made a fist on her right hand and her expression slowly turned angry. bad thing is, she swore to herself if someone mention the name she knew of, she will get panic attack. Asking something what's in her book is another story.

"Come on," Octavia said insisting her. "Who is that?"

Twilight looked away from them to the right in angry. "That's out of question."

"What's wrong?" Ringo asked with an evil smile. "Scare of something?"

"I'm not scared," Twilight replied as she looked at them, still in angry and her fisted-hand was gripping hard. "That's out of question."

"You're cheating aren't you?" Baton asked in suspicion. "You having an affair on someone, right?"

"No, I'm not," Twilight replied quickly as she tried hold off her anger. "That's not what's going on with me."

"Oh really?" Baton asked also in mad, but not as mad as Twilight. "You're having an affair with him, alright. With that we're going to tell Timber about it."

Twilight bow her head down to the ground. Twilight nearly reached her peak as her fisted-right hand is starting to shake as it gripped. Baton and her assistants did felt very satisfied about it. But then Baton felt something wrong as she took another look on Twilight. Twilight lifted her head and looked towards Baton in angry.

"You're wrong about me, Baton," Twilight said to her grimly. "That's not what happened to me."

Baton then realized what did she saw after took a glance through her eyes, there were flaming fires burning behind her eyes, it was a heavy rage behind those eyes. "Oh no...."

Twilight quickly grabbed Baton by her collars as fast as lightning and quickly hit her head with her own head, and then quickly kicked her stomach with an angry scream, sending her stumbling back to the ground in pain. That startled them to death, making Watermelody, Octavia, and Ringo step away from her. Teddy tried to stop her from fighting as he tried to punch her back by aiming his fist to the head, but Twilight quickly ducked and avoided the incoming punch and counter-attacked him by hitting his stomach with her right fist with a very hard swing. It send him step back with a stagger and Twilight quickly stood up and quickly hit his head 3 times before proceed to kick his legs by his left knee to make him kneel. As Teddy still stunned by her counter-attacks while kneeling, Twilight quickly lifted her left foot and swung it straight to his right side of his head and made him fell to the ground, Twilight landed her foot after did the kick and spun 360 degrees. Teddy was nearly unconscious after the kick to the head.

From a distant Sunset with her Rainbooms member, Tennis, Cloudy, Flash, and Microchip heard a loud scream, everyone in there heard it. They all turned their heads towards the Camp square, and to their shock, Twilight has kicked Baton to the ground and had a little fight with Teddy, who is one of the member of the Football team. What they can't believe that Twilight has beaten up Teddy with a kick to the head, even though he was actually a strong guy. Timber, Daisy, and the principals also shock to see that.

"Oh god, no!" Sunset shouted as they all quickly ran to the Camp square where Twilight just had beaten up Teddy and walking towards Baton that's still trying to stand up.

Twilight walked towards Baton who is already crouching on the ground, holding the pain on her stomach and her head with her hand for a moment. After Baton already lifted her head up towards Twilight, Twilight quickly grabbed Baton with one hand by her neck and forced her to stand up. She quickly walked forward to force her to walk reverse, when they reached the totem a few mere inch behind Baton, Twilight quickly let go her neck to hit her chest hard and then grabbed her head and then pushed it until her back side of her head hit the totem. Baton cried in pain of agony and with tears starts to pouring out from her eyes after those physical hits and then fell off to the ground in front of the totem helplessly.

"Baton!" Watermelody and Octavia shouted in worried and afraid, they quickly ran over to them totem to stop Twilight from beating Baton.

Octavia was nearly reached Twilight, until she got kicked by Twilight with a back kick technique and send her fell to the ground. Twilight then turned around and face away from Baton and facing Watermelody, who just stopped right in front of her and about to send a punch to her. But Twilight blocked her punching attack with her left arm swung to the left side and quickly struck her chest with her fist. Watermelody suddenly screamed in pain as she stepped back and hold the pain on her chest with her hand. After she staggered back, Twilight quickly made a 720 degrees Tornado Kick in the air and quickly slammed her face with her right foot and sending her threw away to the ground. Octavia, after getting up, quickly grabbed Twilight from behind with her both arms around her neck to and try to stop her.

Twilight, after being choked from behind, quickly swung her right elbow to behind her and hit Tavi twice in the stomach before she grabbed Tavi's head and neck and lifted from behind her until thrown into above her before to the front and slammed to the ground. Twilight quickly crouched and hit Tavi's head very hard. After that, she changed her sight to Baton for her rage still not yet vanished. She calmly walked over to Baton who is trying to get up with the help of the totem behind her, Twilight then suddenly kicked her which made everyone shocked to see that. What is Twilight doing now is only to keep kicking Baton as she cried to stop kicking her in pain and tears. Her friends from a distant, including the principals, shouted at Twilight to stop but she didn't heard them while her rage is burning.

Until one moment, Flash quickly ran at Twilight and grabbed her shoulder. Quickly, Twilight turned her head to him and she was nearly to give a hit on him, after she realized that was Flash. "Twilight, stop! No need for this! Calm down, this is not who you are..." Flash said to her from shouting loudly to softly.

All the sudden, the flames in her eyes has vanished. She lowered down her fist and took a couple of breathes to calm herself. She then looked away from him to Baton, who lied down on the ground helplessly after got beaten up. Baton looked up to Twilight in fear, cry, and heavy pain as she shook a lot implying of begging no more hurting her with there were bruises along her face and her mouth and nose were bleeding. Baton did had a slight confusion on why did the flames on Twilight's eyes has vanished, instead a river of regret that's filling in it.

Twilight regretted for what she had done, Twilight simply took 5 five steps to her right away from Flash and Baton. Then she dropped herself to sit down on the field of grass and sadly looked down to the grass. Everyone quickly rushed over to Baton following up with Teddy, Tavi, and Watermelody who were got knocked out by Twilight, excluding the principals, Timber, Cloudy, and Sunset who ran over to Twilight in mad (Excluding Cloudy and the principals who were worried instead of mad). Tennis did brought her med kit equipment for Baton and took a look on her condition with the help of Flash.

"How is she doing?" A girl named Blueberry asked to them both in worried.

"It's bad," Tennis answered quickly in worried. "But she's going to be fine."

"Why did Twilight do this?" A boy named Norman asked in wonder and disbelieve.

Flash only looked over to Twilight from a distant in worried of her current condition she had. "I'm afraid they set her off."

Sunset was very angry at Twilight to beaten up a friend like that. Timber also included. What they didn't notice that the principals and Cloudy not mad, instead they were worried of Twilight, since they knew what's going on with her.

"Twilight!" Sunset shouted at her. "Why you dare beat her up?!"

Twilight didn't response to her question. She's only not listening and still looking down to the ground.

"Do you even hear us, Twilight?!" Timber, Twilight's boyfriend asked in mad. "Why did you beat her up?!"

Twilight only lifted her head to looked at them, giving an expression. They nearly took it as an innocent expression until noticed that was an expression of guilt and sadness. Before they both able to asked her much more question further, Principal Celestia quickly told them to stop. They both don't know why but then Luna talked to them.

"It's better we calm down for awhile, alright? From the looks of it, Twilight need some time for herself before she can talk. Me and Principal Celestia will talk to her at the cabin near the tents soon."

They were hesitant to that for a moment, but then they both agreed. They both then walked over to wounded Baton who still being in care by Tennis to checked on her condition. The principals were about to walked over to her, but they gave to Cloudy an order to keep an eye on Twilight. After they left, Cloudy kneel down in front of her and looked straight to her face. Cloudy was very concern of Twilight.

"You're okay, Twilight?" Cloudy asked to her.

"What the hell I just did?" Twilight asked in regret.

"Hey, Twilight," Cloudy called her to gain her attention as she holds her cheeks. "It's alright."

"What do you mean alright?" Twilight asked her in shock as she narrowed her eyes. "I just beat up Baton badly and knocked out the other three."

"Just calm down for a moment," Cloudy said to her softly. "I know they asked you something, what was it?"

Twilight was pretty hesitant to answer her question, but she decided better to answer it. "They were asking who was the man I drew in my notebook. They though I was having an affair with him but that's clearly wrong. You know? That's the thing that I don't want to talk about to you, the only thing that scarred in my memory."

"Oh," was all Cloudy can say whilst she understood her feelings.

Two hours later, Baton is already resting in the cabin health center accompanied with Watermelody, Octavia and Teddy who also needed medical treatment and with Ringo to keep an eye on them. Tennis and Fluttershy were asked to help handle the people in the health center for a while, while The Rainbooms, The Dazzlings, and Juniper waiting at their tents. It was a very bad day for them to know someone has hurt their friends much disastrous than before. They can only blame Twilight for it, but she was also their friends so they need to figure out why.

Twilight has come over to the cabin near the tents that the principals were talking about. Twilight took a moment to have a view on the outside of the cabin, before proceeding to walk forward to reach the door. She puts her hand on the door knob, and sighed coldly, then opened the door to enter. After that, she closed the door behind her softly and stepped forward 6 times. What are around her are decorations with the theme of mother nature, with plates and photos hanging on the wall. Of course, there was a fireplace on her right for heat and comfort and in front of it there were 5 wooden chairs.

After a quick look around the cabin, she approached the chair on the very right side of the fireplace (looking from the front side of the fireplace, not the back side) and sat down gently. She then rested her arms on the chair arms and leaned back. And she only waits there for a while. Twilight only darting her eyes around the cabin as she waits. Then darting out the window from a distance in front of her.

Nothing else interested for her in that cabin. It was starting to get boring as she waits. But then for a moment, she focused herself on her own thoughs, memories, ..... nightmares. She moved her arms and put it above her waist with still, her backs leaning against the chair. As she locked herself in her own mind, she sighed per pace. For her own focus trapped in her mind, she can't hear anything nor sense something from near except being touched.

It was a long 30 minutes later, the principals with Timber and Daisy have entered the cabin and saw Twilight already sitting on the chair facing the fireplace with her back facing them. Though Daisy did closed the door with a loud thud, but surprisingly Twilight didn't startled but still and silent. They walked over to their chairs near the fireplace and sat down with their heads facing at Twilight's, Timber puts his left leg on top of the right one. Timber gave an angry expression, Daisy gave a slight angry one, while Luna and Celestia only gave neutral expression.

"Twilight," Daisy called, but Twilight didn't respond in anyway particular. "Twilight!"

Before Timber and Daisy about to call her again, Celestia interrupted them. "Wait, I don't think she realized we're here."

Celestia stood up from her chair and slowly approached her. Celestia looked closer on her face and noticed that she had that cold expression and she was trapped in her thoughtful mind. Celestia moved her right hand and put it on top of Twilight's shoulder. Twilight quickly snapped out from her mind and by reflex quickly grabbed Celestia's hand by surprised. Twilight then looked up and gave an apprehensive expression.

"Oh," Twilight said whilst letting go Celestia's hand, then she looked in front of her to find out they were already there. "Sorry, I didn't notice you already here."

Timber and Daisy suddenly gave a puzzled look at Twilight, Timber then spoke. "What you've been thinking about?"

"None of your concern," Twilight replied with a huff.

They both were annoyed by that answer, Daisy then asked her. "Alright, let's start over. Why..... did you hurt Baton badly?"

"I already asked to them, Daisy," Timber interrupted quickly to answer her question. "They did tried to ask you what's happening with you, Twilight. Well, they said there's nothing else happened to you. But from what they say to me, you drew someone you knew in your notebook, someone handsome, and they think you're having an affair with him. You're cheating on me, aren't you?"

Daisy were very surprised to hear that, while the principals pretended that they were slightly surprised but they both knew what's going on with her. "No I'm not, Timber," Twilight replied in calm and cold.

"Look, don't try to lie to me, alright?" Timber said to her quickly as he leaned forward at her. "I know you lied to me."

"If I did, you should have left me dead long ago," Twilight responded as she looked away towards the fireplace with her hand closing her mouth.

At this, both Daisy and Timber felt deadpanned by her response. From their angry expressions turned to frowns upon hearing it. But hearing the way she says it, they both then had a though on why.

"Is it 'The Red Day' that keeps bothering you?" Daisy asked, but then answered by Celestia that she isn't disturbed by it.

"Then what is it?" Timber asked her, but he received a lot of shook from her.

"Sorry, I can't tell you what is it," Twilight replied with a feeling of disappointment and a shook. "I... can't..."

Timber wanted to asked further about it, until Luna spoke. "It's enough, Timber. Twilight been having..... personal difficulties."

"I see," Timber replied with a little understood, he paused for a moment before talking to Twilight. "I suggest you need to take a walk around the camp in the evening."

"Or better," Luna added. "You take a walk in the forest in the evening." Her suggestion truly shocked Timber and Daisy and they have caught off-guard.

Twilight did though for a moment about it and even though didn't feel suspicious about it, but then she spoke. "I agree, Vice-Principal Luna. I will take a walk in the forest. I want to enjoy being solitude for a while."

Timber and Daisy quickly shut their mouth after they heard her response, but then Daisy asked her. "You're sure? It's dangerous out there in the evening."

"Don't worry about it," Twilight replied with a smirk.

"Alright, you can leave now, Twilight," Celestia said to her. "And make sure you apologized to Baton for what have you done to her."

"I will, Principal Celestia," Twilight responded with a slow nod. "I will."

Twilight then stood up from her chair, and walked towards the door. She opened the door and then walked out in cold. After she left, four of them stood up from their chair and Timber quickly walked over to Luna in concern.

"Are you crazy, Luna?" Timber asked her angrily. "It's crazy for someone took a walk in there until night. Don't you think what will going to happen to her if you tell her to do that?"

"We knew you want to find out why," Celestia said, assisting her sister. "But we have to make sure she's not in the camp."

"Why?" Daisy asked in wonder and puzzled.

"She has the instinct to feel anything wrong from near either far," Luna answered. "Once we tried to take a look on her personal belongings that she left in the class, but Twilight unexpectedly showed up behind us without any noise. Oddly, that time she was at soccer field and somehow she knew we're going to take a look in it. Trust me, if you wanted to look on her stuffs, we need to make sure she's not in the camp or something will get any worse."

Timber and Daisy took a long time to make a decision, but then Daisy implied to her brother with a nod and Timber spoke. "Alright, if you say so."

It was 3 PM in the evening, Twilight wanted to find Baton and apologized to her. Twilight slowly walked through the field of grass as she looked around her, there were some of the students took a glance at Twilight in silent, not angry but worried. Some of them also did talk to each other about Twilight for a moment. After a moment passed by, the students who took a glance on her then returned to their activity without any sound. Twilight kept walking and reached the boathouse, and there was Baton, with Ringo, Teddy, Watermelody, and Octavia.

As Twilight started to approached them, Tavi told Baton that she was coming at them with her finger pointed at Twilight. Baton turned around and looked Twilight was kept walking forward, Baton had to stepped back a little for herself being afraid what will happened next. When Twilight reached them, she stopped in front of them as they sharply staring at her in caution. Baton only shook for her presence.

"What do you want, Twilight?" Baton asked her in nervous.

Twilight gave a long sigh. "I know you still upset about what I did to you, but.......... I'm.......... sorry."

"That's all?" Watermelody asked in upset. "Principal Celestia didn't give you any punishment?"

"They said that....." Twilight paused for a moment. "I should take a walk in the forest for this evening."

They suddenly worried after she said that. "Why they said that?" Teddy asked in doubt as he folded his arms and tilted his head to the left.

"They said I have.... personal problems," Twilight replied with a shrug. "They suggest I should take a walk in the forest to calm down my nerves. So, yeah, I'm okay with that. Besides I want to being solitude for the time being, and I won't bother you with.... what I did to you before."

"Twilight, I'm... We're still upset to you," Baton said shakily as folds her arms. "But I don't think walking in the forest is a good idea you know? We're worried about you, even if you're being.... like this."

"I know," Twilight agreed with her. "But, I've been through much worse than this you know?"

"Like 'The Red Day'?" Baton asked, her left eyebrow was lifted.

"Yeah," Twilight answered slowly.

"Not forget to mention that you killed a wolf with your hands," Ringo added.

"Yeah, Ringo," Twilight only swung her arms wide on her sides.

Baton reminded herself on something, something that she never seen before. "Twilight, I'm going to be honest with you. I've never seen a fire like that in your eyes before. You're okay?"

"Yes and no," Twilight replied in doubt. "You kinda set me off back there, you've been asking what you should not asked to me. I hope you're understand that.... it's very personal, alright? Plus, I don't have any personal affair with someone. I just told Timber if I did, he should have left me dead long ago."

"What?" they asked in shock at the same time.

They all paused as they stare at her dumbfoundedly. "You know? That's what we've been worried about if you go to the forest, what if you died there?" Baton asked worriedly as she rubbed her bruise on her cheek. "Just like.... you.....?"

Twilight widen her eyes in a slight surprise, but then she narrowed her eyes again. "Look, don't worry about me, alright? I'll be fine."

"You promise?" Tavi asked with a feeling of uneasy.

Twilight bowed her head, and turned around slowly towards where did she come from, she was restless about it. "I don't know if I can promise that."

Twilight stepped forward, but then called by Baton. "Twilight!"

Twilight stopped and turned her head at Baton. "Yes?"

"We're sorry," Baton said obnoxiously. "For making you angry."

Twilight only smiled at that. "It's fine, believe me."

Twilight turned her head forward and take her leave. Heading back to her tent to get some rest for awhile. Twilight did stop by Sunset and Juniper, basically only asking if she has already apologized or not. After that she walked on towards her tent. Once she entered, she only zipped off her jacket and threw it on the table and with limp dropped herself on her bed with her back landing first. With that, she sighed and blinked once for regretting the day she had

She only spend the next hours by only lay down on her bed whilst staring at the ceiling of the tent. Sunset didn't even come over to the tent even if she's her roommate of the tent. Twilight did locked herself in her own mind, thinking what she will do next, what's her debt that's still left in herself. Like back at the cabin, didn't hear nor sense anything. Until one moment, she decided to snapped herself out to awake. Only to found out the clock on the night table next to her shows the time is already 05:15 PM for now.

Twilight did packed up everything she needed for her walk in the forest, though she was planning that she will return to the camp at night. What she brings around is like what did she brought yesterday when they did the tour, except with compass, a M9-Muzzle brake pistol on her right belt (enough to get hidden with a jacket) , and a KSG shotgun in her brown backpack. Good thing is the backpack was big enough to fill in the KSG shotgun so none part of the shotgun comes out through the zipper. She had her own purposes for that, with mainly the priority to do what Vice-Principal Luna told her. 1, is being solitude and 2, a little practice for land navigation at night. For this she decided to wear her black jacket to go to the forest.

She went the tent with the backpack on her back and she headed to the way where they did took a tour yesterday. Rarity, Trixie, Baton, and Juniper were in the middle of the tent side and did met up with Twilight who is wanted to go somewhere. They were wondering why didn't she get punished by Celestia. But seeing she's bringing her bag around, they had something else in mind.

"Do you really want to go to the forest?" Trixie asked in wonder.

"Yes, Trixie," Twilight answered after a sigh. "Vice-Principal Luna wanted me to do that, and I agree."

"You're sure about that, darling?" Rarity asked concernedly. "It's a bad idea to go there in the evening, even though it's getting darker."

"I'm sure about it, my dear Rarity," Twilight replied with a smirk. "Besides, I don't want to give anyone else trouble..... for now."

Baton frowned at those words of her. "Actually, you don't look like you will bring any trouble to us. Or even the others."

"That's what you think," Twilight said in cold. "For me, not."

"I agree with Baton though," Juniper said with a nod. "Why do you even had to go to the forest?"

"I don't want anyone to get fucked up by me, alright?" Twilight said in a little angry, but then calmed down as she looked away from them for a moment. "Sorry."

They were a little taken back by her swearing, but they understand it. "Alright, you're really ready to go there?" Rarity asked her with a narrowed eye.

"Sure I am," Twilight replied with a nod. "I'll be back by night."

"Just promise me that you will be fine, alright?" Juniper said to her with smile whilst in a little agitated.

Twilight only stared at her dumbfoundedly, seemingly in worried of her promise. "Forgive me, I can't promise that."

Twilight quickly took her left and headed to the trail that will lead her to the forest. Her friends behind were unwillingly to watch her walked away and leave, they stopped staring at Twilight after she was out of sight. Each of them looked over to themselves in worried, and afraid with what will happen to her. But then, Rarity can see the opportunity of her leave. Rarity gave a flat expression to them and said something to them.

"Trixie, can you call Sunset and the others to meet at my tent?"

"Why?" Trixie asked in wonder, and folded her arms whilst opened wide her eyes.

"It's a good time to find out what she's hiding from us."

At 6:20 PM, Rarity, Trixie, Baton, and Juniper are waiting at Rarity's tent for their friends to show up. The first were the principals, Timber and Daisy for their surprise. The second were Cloudy, Tennis, Ringo, Watermelody, Octavia, Vinyl, and Teddy. The third were The Dazzlings, and finally Sunset and The Rainbooms, plus Flash. They regroup outside of Rarity's tent and made a circle abstractly.

They all did asked to Trixie why were they called, but Trixie only said it's important. Though, some of them, which are Adagio, Tennis, Cloudy, and Trixie herself, know what was going on. Those who knew some of Twilight's secret only decided to follow it's flow and don't interrupt it, because they don't know the whole of it. Sunset walked over to Rarity in confusion about why was it important. Even Though, Sunset hope it's not about her damn fashion show.

"Rarity," she called in annoyance. "I hope you didn't call all of us for discussing about your fashion stuff."

"It really isn't!" Rarity yelled with her hands make a claw-shape in front of her. "Twilight has gone to the forest 30 minutes ago!"

Everyone except the principals, Timber and Daisy, shocked and amazed with that, following with a lot of words of 'huh?'. "Why?" Aria asked to Rarity.

"I told her to do that so she can calmed down for awhile," Luna answered in still, everyone turned their head at her. "And she agreed to walked in the forest because she wanted for being solitude for awhile."

"ya'r purpose to tell that to her is not that, right?" AJ asked in suspicion.

"That's true," Timber answered, he puts his both hands in his pockets. "Our purpose to make Twilight walked in the forest was for we can take a look on her belongings."

"Eih?" Teddy snorted. "Can't you just inspect her belongings if she's far away instead sending her to the forest?"

"I heard from Sunset that she can use instincts to found out something wrong from far and always shows up right in the right moment, right?" Celestia asked towards sunset, then received a nod from her. "So the only way that we able to inspect her belongings is to make her out from the Camp."

"So that we have the opportunity to check her belongings?" Tennis asked in a little enthusiasm.

"Yes, it is," Daisy replied to them.

"Yay!" Pinkie shouted as she suddenly appeared next to Daisy out of nowhere, which indeed frightened Daisy by surprise. "We gonna have a party after this!"

"Pinkie!" Dash shouted annoyingly. "Can you stop that!!?"

"Alright, let's go to my tent," Sunset said to them.

They soon reached Sunset's and Twilight's tent afterwards. Then all 24 of them entered the tent with ease and somehow didn't felt tight. They all also met Spike wanting to know what's going on. After they all gave a quick explanation to him, he frowned but he only said 'alright' to them. Spike then hopped off from his doggy bed onto Twilight's bed. When they all waiting for Sunset to open up Twilight's chest, she forgot one thing about it.

"Ah damn," Sunset said to herself.

"What's wrong?" Shy asked.

"I forgot she always locked her chest," Sunset exclaimed to them.

"Let me handle that," Ringo then walked over to the chest and crouched, he then pulled out some sort of a pin and insert it to the lock. After a while of struggle, the chest sounded with 'clack' and it was unlock. "There you go," Ringo said to Sunset, then he moved back to his position between Flash and Adagio.

"Thanks," Sunset then proceeds to open the chest and found out there was only a big bag inside that chest. "I though she brings two bags."

"She took her backpack for her trip to the forest," Baton said quickly to Sunset.

"That's make sense," Sonata commented, also received a nod from Sunset.

Sunset pull out the bag from inside the chest and put it on top of Twilight's bed. Sunset then closed the chest and sat down next to the bag, following by Watermelody who sat on the opposite side of the bag. Sunset looked over to them who still standing and received a nod from both principals, and then to Spike who also nodded to her. With that, they started to rummage through Twilight's bag to find any evidence.

It's already 8:00 PM at night and still, they found nothing. Everyone did inspect everything that Twilight brought in. Shirts, pants, tools and equipments, anything. Rarity felt disappointed that she didn't find the winter-colored jacket that Twilight ever had. But then Sunset found a book, Twilight's notebook in a hidden slot of the bag.

"Guys, found the book!" Sunset shouted at them whilst raising the book above her head.

"That's the book that Twilight used to draw something!" Dash said quickly. "Try to look for that drawing!"

"Okay I'll be searching it," Sunset then flip the pages to find the drawing Dash mentioned.

When the rest are inspecting Twilight's other belonging, Cloudy found something surprising, which silently recognized by Flash. "Hey, I never though she had a beret before."

"What? A beret?" Juniper and Watermelody asked. "Let me see it."

Cloudy show the beret to them and give it to them. "Looks like a scout beret for me, but it's black. Don't you think she did go to France?"

"I don't think she ever go there though," Fluttershy said in doubt. "If she did, she would be invite us for that, unless we have our own business of course."

They discussed to each other about what is Twilight is hiding, until Sunset found the drawing that Vinyl ever mentioned. "I think I found it! Is this the guy you mentioned, Vinyl?"

Vinyl then Come over to Sunset and looked towards the drawing. "Yeah, this is the one. The man with a scar on his neck."

Sunset then looked down at the bottom right of the page and found a name. "Hmm... His name is Dolker. Interesting."

"Never heard of him," Luna said with a slow shook.

Of course for Sunset he is handsome, and for her surprise he had the same color eyes like Sunset's. Timber did come over to Sunset to look on the book. Of course he felt jealous and wasn't sure if Twilight is not lying. Timber only make a grin on his mouth and move back between Daisy and Flash in mad.

"You're okay, bro?" Flash asked him.

"I don't know," Timber replied with a huff. "I don't know if she's cheating on me or not."

"Calm down," Daisy said to her brother. "I'm sure she's not."

Sunset closed the book after the whole page of emptiness and useless. "Damn, nothing else in here."

Everyone were disappointed with that. Some of them sighed, some of them said 'aaahh', some of them snorted. Sunset then changed her attention to the beret that now is in hand by Dash. Trying to joke around with it to brighten them up. But for Sunset, it's something bad.

"Well, well," Dash said to herself as she posed between the beds. "I'll be 20% much cooler with this!"

"Dash," Baton called to her in worried. "I don't think playing with Twilight's stuff around is a good idea."

"Come on," Dash recalled. "It's not like I will damaged it or something."

"Ya'h ever broke ma'h vase when dat' time ya' came over to ma'h house, ya' remember?" Applejack said in annoyance.

"I know, but it's not like it's too fragile, right?" Dash asked happily as she posed.

"Baton is right about that," Sunset said quickly. "Put that beret down, Dash."

"Ah, you're no fun, Sunset," Dash said jokingly, still in happy as she posed with the black beret.

"You should put that beret down, Dash," Celestia said in angry and worried. "We don't want Twilight found out that we've been rummaging through her stuffs without any notice to her."

"Really?" Dash asked in annoyance. "It's just a beret, Principal Celestia. Why that even worries you?"

Before Celestia able to spoke something, Pinkie quickly said something in agitated. "I think Twilight is already here."

Everyone was caught off-guard and surprised that Pinkie said that, except for Dash who isn't believe that her Pinkie sense is actually true. "Come on, Pinkie. She's not even here, it would be impossible for Twilight to came back here that fast."

Before Sunset able to say something, suddenly came a voice out of nowhere, an order.

"Put the beret down!"

To their shock, it was Twilight's voice. They all quickly looked towards the entrance of the tent. They saw Twilight's figure still standing outside the tent, covered in darkness of night so they can't see her full body clearly. For sure, they knew Twilight is angry. Just looking at her made themselves worried and afraid. Pinkie senses answers it right all along.

"Oh," Dash then tried to talk to her jokingly and worried. "I don't know you're here, he he."

"I'm sorry, Twilight," Celestia said firmly and calm. "We had to do this so we know what's been bothering you."

Even though she told her the reason why they inspect her belongings without permission, Twilight still silent and seemingly still darting her eyes to Dash. "Twilight, you're okay?" Daisy asked her in worried, as she felt an unusual aura from her.

Twilight slowly stepped in the tent and stepped into the light. Slowly, they can see her legs first, to their horror her legs were bloodied. Slowly the light moving up further to show her stomach until her upper body (except arms, her arms weren't on her sides) were bloodied, a lot of scars around her leg and her body with the blood pouring out and her bag is still on her back, clearly she was in fatal state. When she fully came into the light, they all gasped to see that Twilight was fully drowned in anger, her face was covered in blood and there's a bloody scar on her left side of the neck, her blood-stained glasses were still on her face and she had her KSG shotgun on her hands aiming at Dash. Everyone slowly raised their hands and backed off including Dash, seeing her aiming her shotgun at Dash.

"Twilight?" Aria called her with an asking tone in worried and fear. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Twilight?" Dash called her in little afraid with a little fake smile as she raised her hands slowly with the beret on her left hand. "That's not a real shotgun, right?"

Twilight quickly got triggered by her comment by shooting the floor quickly. *BAM*. Everyone startled and jumped in scared after that shot, Twilight quickly aimed back at Dash and cocked her shotgun. The rest of the students who didn't involve with the inspection and are outside that tent startled by that sound and trying to look for the source of the sound. As those students trying to look for the source of the sound, the atmosphere in the tent was getting very intense as Twilight very slowly stepped forward towards Rainbow Dash whilst aiming her shotgun at her. Sunset and the principals are looking for a way to stop her, but if they tried to stop her, someone might get hurt.

"Put the beret down!!" Twilight said and ordered to Dash as she very slowly stepped towards her whilst aiming in muffled rage.

"Twilight, what are you doing?" Vinyl asked in fear and agitated, but Twilight ignored her question.

"Twilight, calm down," Dash said try to calm her down. "There's no need to do this.... I just want to take a look on your beret-"

Twilight quickly pulled the trigger and shot the lamp on the night table unexpectedly, *BAM* leaving holes on the wall of the tent, then cocked her shotgun. She nearly shot Dash passing by her stomach. The loud shot made everyone jumped in startled again, and for the first time both of the principals said "FUCK!" loudly. The students who are outside the tent have found the source of the sound and came in to the tent, they then quickly shocked, amazed, and afraid that Twilight holding her shotgun and probably wanted to kill Dash. Starlight, who was got yelled by Twilight yesterday got terrified by that.

"Twilight!!" Starlight shouted. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Twilight ignored her shouting and kept move closer to Dash. "Put the beret down!!!" Twilight ordered to Dash with a shout.

"Wha-I" Dash didn't have a chance to finish her sentence after her head was gunpointed by Twilight right in the forehead, everyone screamed and gasped to that.

"Put the beret down!!!!" Twilight shouted at her in rage.

"Twilight, stop!" Sunset shouted.

"Don't shoot her!" Tennis shouted.

"Don't do it! You're not a crazy, alright!" Tennis shouted at her.

"This is not you, Twilight!" Timber shouted at her.

Everyone, including Dash suddenly shouted at her in fear and they all basically tell Twilight to stop what is she doing or don't kill Dash. "PUT MY FUCKING BERET DOWN!!! NOW!!!" Twilight shouted much louder at Dash and she then lifted the shotgun stock to aimed correctly at Dash's forehead.

"Hey! HEY!" Flash shouted to shut them all up, Flash then looked over towards the gunpointed Dash and tell to her softly. "Put her beret down, Dash."

Dash only gave a worried glare at him, but then Flash said to her again. "Do what she said, you'll be alright."

Dash then slowly looked over towards Twilight's flaming eyes as Dash's sweat coming down from her hair. "Easy, I'll put down the beret, alright?" Dash said as she slowly lower Twilight's beret and put it down on the night table. "Just don't shoot." Dash added after she put it down and then raised her hand back in the air.

After Twilight took a quick look on her beret on the night table, Twilight slowly lower her shotgun from her forehead and let it hanging on her right side on her hand. She slowly stepped back in limp and precarious. Everyone quickly lower their hands to their sides and noticed that Twilight was trying to catch some breath. But then, they heard her one word.

"Good."

Twilight suddenly fell back down to the floor hard, dying, with her shotgun was thrown away to the right. Everyone in that tent quickly ran over to her and crouched down. Tennis and Fluttershy quickly as they can try to bandaged her wounds as fast as they can, while Timber, Sunset, Adagio, Trixie, and Flash tried to kept her alive. Dash lifted her head and put it above her left thigh to stabilize her to stay alive.

"How the hell she's still alive like this?!" Sunset asked particularly to everyone, no one able to answer it.

"God," Timber recognized those kinds of scars. "She's been mauled by a bear."

"WHAT?!" everyone shouted in shocked.

"Twilight, please don't die on me!" Sunset cried at Twilight when she's starting to gasped for air.

The flames in Twilight's eyes slowly vanished, Twilight heard her breathing starting to get heavy and the time seems to be slowing down for her (Even though the time didn't slow down on her vision). She coughed only spat out blood from her mouth and she blinked 3 times. She did looked to the ceiling slowly, then slowly looked towards Sunset. Sunset did caught her eyes darting to her.

"Why, Twilight?" Sunset asked to her. "Why?"

Twilight paused for a moment, but then spoke to her clearly. "Sunset......... Forgive me for what I did to you." But then Twilight quickly turned her head to the right as she closed her eyes slowly.

"Twilight?!" Sunset shouted in cry. "Twilight?!"

They all shook her body to make sure she's alive, but no avail. "TWILIGHT?!"

After her eyes closed, she let out her last breath before she died, whilst hearing her friend calling her in blurry.

"TWILIGHT?!"


"TWILIGHT!!!"
