Loyalty (unfinished)

"No...NOOO!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed as Fluttershy fell to the ground in a puddle of sweat and blood. She ran to her fallen friend. She picked her up in her hooves.

"Flutters! Don't leave me!"  Rainbow Dash cried, now sobbing desperately. " Please,  please."

"Shhh...," Fluttershy whispered bringing her hoof to RD's lips. "I'll be fine... and in a better place." Those words hit Rainbow like an anvil. She held Fluttershy close, weeping  and pleading to Celestia.

"Rainbow?" Fluttershy whispered lightly.

"Yes?" Rainbow said drowning in her own tears.

"Go to our friends, they need  you, Rainbow. Take my Element." Flutters said breathlessly. Rainbow turned to her friends. There eyes were full of pain and sadness.  There manes matted with sweat and they dripped with blood, there own blood. They had been injured as they held off  the evil, trying to protect the weakened Rainbow Dash.

"You need me more." She said wrapping her cyan wings around her friend of twenty years.

"No," she said with as much force as she could muster,,''They need you," Fluttershy took a deep breath. "Would you sing  to me." she struggled to stay awake as Rainbow began to sing in her scratchy voice as gently as possible.

Hush now , quiet now its time to lay your sleepy head

Hush now , quiet now its time to go  to bed

Drift, Drift off to sleep, leave this world behind you.

Rainbow Dash looked down at the now limp figure  in her hooves.  She began to sob.

"NO,No,NOOOOOO!!!!" She cried looking into the air.

"Rainbow Dash! Help, Help!!!!!" Twilight cried straining from the magic emanating from  her horn. Rainbow Dash stood as if in a trance. Looking done at the pale yellow body of her friend.  Quickly she collected Fluttershy's Element of Harmony. She wrapped the gold necklace around her neck.

            Instantly she felt a tingling inside her. As sensation grew, she couldn't move. She began to panic as she could see anymore.

  "Rainbow dash? Come on. Rainbow." Twilight stopped talked as her friend grumbled, well, actually she didn't."Oh thank goodness, your alive."

"Why wouldn't I be," she grumbled. She rolled over and winced.

"Don't move." Twilight told her in a stern, yet motherly way. She watched as Rainbow Dash, ignoring her, sat up.

"What happened?" she said reaching to put her hoof on her head. Her eye's grew wide. She tried to see the top of her Head. "Can I have a mirror?"
