Almost nothing left

Chapter 1

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

She forced herself to think of the one thing she could remember as she ran through the Everfree Forest, a purple unicorn. She couldn't remember the unicorn's name, or even her own for that matter, but she knew that she needed to find this unicorn.

It was just a feeling, but it was such a powerful feeling that it dictated her every action. She pushed herself to run faster, not even caring when the extra speed caused her wounds to flare up in pain. She tried her best to ignore the pain as the thorns of bushes and the branches of trees tore off small chunks of flesh, leaving her flank a bloody mess.

She gasped in relief as she burst from the Everfree Forest and into the safety of a nearby town. She ran through the streets, ignoring the looks she received, and began looking for what her mind told her was the love of her life.

She was now aware of just how badly the Manticore she had been running from had wounded her, and her body stopped moving against her will. She knew that nopony would help her; they never did. But she was still surprised when the looks the locals gave her changed from disgust to hatred.

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

She knew something was wrong, something had snapped, something crucial. And amidst her diseased thoughts, all she felt was confusion.

Trixie Lulamoon crumpled to the ground in the middle of the town, her hooves gripping the sides of her head, and screamed in agony as her damaged nerves finally managed to send a signal to her brain, informing her of her body's condition in the form of pain.

She was vaguely aware that somepony was talking to her, but she was unable to understand what them, or see who it was. Her tears clouding her vision and the sound of her own heart beating wildly in her chest the last things she felt before succumbing to the pain and falling unconscious.

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

When she awoke to find herself surrounded by white walls and ponies she had never seen before, she began freaking out. Fireworks exploded all around the room as she struggled to get out of the bed she was in and escape.

Unfortunatly for her, these ponies must have expected her to do something like this and she was forced back into the bed before she could get very far.

It took her a little while, but she finally managed to calm down. She looked around the room, her eyes absorbing every minute detail incase she needed to escape in the near future after these ponies left.

"What...D-Do you want with me?." She managed to say, her voice hoarse and her throat sore from months of running for her life.

She heard one of the ponies gasp softly, though she couldn't pinpoint which one it was. This puzzled her, why would these ponies gasp when she talked? Surely she didn't sound that bad, right?

Her mind went into overdrive when she finally noticed the princesses of Equeststa sitting in the corner of the room. Why would they be here? Was she a threat? Were they going to throw her into a dungeon or execute her?

"Are you even listening to me!?"

She tore her eyes away from the princesses to find a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane hovering in front of her, an angry look plastered on her face.

She tilted her head to the side in confusion. She couldn't remember ever seeing this mare before, so why was she so angry at her? "Who are you?" She asked slowly.

She couldn't say she was surprised when the Pegasus' eyes widened as far as they could. She understood that this mare knew her from somewhere from the way she glared at her.

The cyan Pegasus flew back to the other four ponies that were sitting in front of her and pulled them all into a huddle, probably to discuss something about her.

When they stopped whispering to each other several minutes they formed a line in front of her and a white unicorn with a elegantly cruled purple mane stepped forward. "How much do you remember?" The pony asked slowly, her eyes full of concern.

This enraged her, this pony had no right to look at her like that after getting her friend to yell at her. Her face twisted and contorted as possible answers flew through her mind before finally settling on a deadpan expression.

"I refuse to tell you anything."

"We can't help you if you don't tell us something." The pony replied.

"Help me?" She laughed. "If you wanted to help me you would have left me to die in the middle of that road. Nopony cares about me except for her, so don't even bother trying to pretend you care, you're not fooling anyone."

The cyan Pegasus looked like she was about to yell at her, but before she could a pink earthpony slapped her hoof over the Pegasus' mouth.

The unicorn glanced at Celestia with a pleading look, and Celestia walked to the side of the bed. "Would you please tell me what happened to you?"

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

She quickly turned her full attention to Celestia. "And why are YOU here?" she almost shouted. "You're the princess, you have more important things to attend to then some commoner."

Celestia started to say something but she cut her off. "Or am I some threat that you've come to get rid of?"

"Come on! Answer me!" she continued when Celestia stayed silent.

Celestia leaned forwards to look into her eyes before responding. "While you did do some bad things in the past, I forgave you. I am here to find out what could do such horrible things to one of my precious ponies." She answered truthfully.

She paused and stared at Celestia, trying to decide if she was telling the truth. "Let me go."

"You're not well enough to go. You need to stay here so you can heal." Celestia replied in a motherly tone.

She glared at the Alicorn. "I've survived this long, I'm pretty sure I'll be fine. Finding her is more important than my well being."

"What's this mare's name?" Celestia asked.

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

She stayed silent for several moments before finally deciding that there was no harm in telling Celestia, maybe she could help her loved the purple unicorn.

"I... I don't know. I only know what she looks like and that I love her."

"Well what does she look like?"

She noticed the other ponies and Princess Luna all lean forward in anticipation, though she couldn't fathom why.

"She's a purple unicorn with a dark blue or purple mane with a stripe of pink in it."

They all looked at each other and whispered one word. "Twilight..."
