Almost nothing left

Chapter 2

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

She froze when she heard that name. It was so familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time. She desperately tried to remember where exactly she had heard that name before, but the harder she tried, the more her head began to hurt. The pain surrounded her, enveloped her, and at that moment it was the only thing she was completely and utterly sure was real.

Then something broke through the wall of pain and suffering, it had a very soothing aura, like a mother tucking her child in at night.

She mentally gasped as her eyes flew open. Her mouth was open in a silent scream, tears were pouring from her eyes, and she had fallen off the hospital bed. She felt something warm covering her and she quickly buried her face in whatever it was, letting her pent up anger and sorrow finally escape.

It was an hour later when the tears and sniffles finally stopped, and even then Celestia and Luna were worried about what would happen if they were to bring Twilight Sparkle in to see her.

She didn't know who this Twilight Sparkle pony was, but she did know that the name caused her a great deal of pain.

At the moment she was sitting back on the hospital bed, staring out the window, and silently wishing she could regain her memories.

Her wish wasn't granted.

By now most of the wounds caused by the branches and thorns were starting to heal, but the long gashes caused by the manticore still looked as fresh as ever. She estimated it would take at least a few weeks for them to fully heal.

She was alone in the room, the ponies who had been visiting her earlier had left with the princesses soon after she had calmed down.

She tried once again to remember who exactly she was, and although it didn't hurt nearly as much as the first time, it still hurt. It was then that the realization that she would never remember who she was came over never and she began to fall into a pit of self-pity and despair.

She didn't know how much time had passed when one of the ponies from before, the white unicorn to be exact, entered her room, and she didn't care. She only glanced at the unicorn before letting her gaze slip back to the bed sheet.

The white unicorn said something to her, but she wasn't listening, she was far too depressed to listen. She was glad when the white unicorn left several minutes later, allowing her to focus her full attention on her thoughts instead of on blocking out the white unicorn's voice.

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.

~With Rarity~

Rarity briskly walked out of the hospital in a bad mood; She didn't like it when other ponies were rude and ignored someone when they were talking to them. Rarity calmed down once she reached the Carousel Boutique, the location her friends had chosen to talk about what they were going to do about Trixie without Twilight finding out.

"So," Rainbow Dash said once Rarity had sat down. "How'd it go?"

Rarity sighed. "Just as we expected, she ignored everything I said and just stared at her bedsheet."

"How long exactly do we need to keep this from Twilight?" Applejack asked. "Cause Ah don't like lyin' ta her."

"Darling, It's only lying if Twilight asks about it." Rarity replied. "now we will keep it from her until the Princess' decide that Trixie is mentally stable."

Right as Rarity said that, Twilight walked through the door.

"Trixie's here...?"

All five of them froze, slowly turning around when they heard Twilight's voice.

"Buck." Rainbow Dash cursed.

"Where is she? We need to get ready before she does something evil again!" Twilight exclaimed.

All five of them shut their mouthstopped stayed silent. Twilight gave Applejack an expectant look.

Applejack looked like she was struggling to come up with a lie, but she couldn't, so she told Twilight the truth. "The hospital..."

The other three glared at her while Fluttershy just stared at the ground.

"Okay then let's go!" Twilight turned to run out the door but stopped after a single step. "Wait... The hospital?" she asked.

Twilight turned back around, closing the door behind her, and sat down in front ocher friends. "So why were you guys keeping this from me?"

Rarity sighed and told her,might as well since Twilight knew she was here."The Princesses didn't want you to know because Trixie isn't in the best condition and she's not in the best state of mind at the moment."

Twilight thought this over for a few moments before she replied. "Well... Maybe I can help her?"

Rainbow Dash almost burst out laughing, but she held it in.

"I don't think so-" Rarity looked at the others. "As we already said she's not in the best state of mind, I'm almost positive your presence would only serve to aggravate her more."

Twilight looked at the ground sadly. "Okay, if that's what the Princesses think is best..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to help her once she's been cleared as mentally stable." Rarity patted Twilight reassuringly on the shoulder.

Twilight gave Rarity a small smile. "Thanks."

~Back with Trixie~

She had been thinking of commiting suicide over the past few hours. After all, without the one she loved there was no purpose in continuing to live. She wasn't allowed out of the hospital to go look for the one she loved, and she was certain that the Princesses and those other five ponies knew who she loved. They just didn't want to let them meet.

She eventually decided not to kill herself, better to wait and possibly see her lover again then kill herself and never see her again...

There was almost nothing left of Trixie Lulamoon.
