Dead in civilization

Dead left Pinkie and headed around the town for a bit. While she had left Pinkie with a paradox that could not be solved she was assured that she had at least given herself five minuets of peace. Dead walked around town and took in the various smells and sights a few stalls catching her attention however she lacked the necessary funds to buy anything. As Dead moved from stall to stall she stopped paying attention to where she was walking and bumped into somepony.

"Oh, sorry!" Dead said as she fell to the ground after clashing heads with the pony she bumped into. "My fault, in a world of my own." Dead staggered back onto her hoofs, she looked over to see who she had bumped into. "Hey, you alright?" Dead said to the mare that was lying on the floor, after a few moments Dead realized that she was out cold and a small rock that was under head explained why. Dead being the pony she was picked up the poor mare with her magic and gently placed her over her back as she headed towards the closest house she knew.

Dead knocked at the door and heard the regular sing song, "Coming!" The door opened and a rather startled Rarity was in the doorway. Dead guessed that she startled because Dead was awake and also because she had a mare that was out cold on her back. "Hello Dead, what a pleasant surprise." Rarity greeted Dead nervously as she glanced over to the pony on her back.

"Don't worry about me, we bumped heads on the street and she landed on a rock. Shes not bleeding but you were the closest pony I knew." Dead said as Rarity ushered her in and closed the door. "Thanks for this.. I know it must be odd for me to show up after being out for so long with a pony on my back."

"Well around here... It is not uncommon for that to happen. For a short time this was the chaos capital. Anyway lets put her down on the sofa and clear her breathing." Rarity lead Dead over to the sofa and Dead placed the mare on her side on it. "Perfect, now let me get my concussion kit."

"You keep a concussion kit?" Dead questioned.

"Well fabrics can be deadly if a large amount fall on your head. I am just being prepared!" Rarity defended herself.

"Fair point, now I will keep an eye on her while you go grab it." Dead smiled as she tended to the mare. Dead studied the mares features in case she ever bumped into her again. The mare had a coat that was almost identical to Rainbow's however unlike Rainbow her mane was a pale blue color. Shortly after Dead had done examining the mare. Rarity came back with a small red box with a white cross on it.

Dead took a closer look at the mare, she could sense something off. Deciding that it was a possible magical connection Dead examined the mare with a quick magical pat down. It was there, a dark energy that Dead had seen a few other times before. More recently she saw the same energy on the corrupted Alicorn amulet. Rarity sat on the spare spot on the sofa and placed an ice pack on the mares head.

"Rarity," Dead began. "When I took the Alicorn amulet, it was because it recently came into my magical scanning range that I had set-up." Dead looked over to the mare. "How did it end up so close to me?" Dead then turned back to Rarity with a stern look, she already knew how but she wanted to hear it from another.

"Well, this here is Trixe. A few months ago there was an incident with a ursa minor which ended up in her leaving the town in a huff. Not to long after you arrived she came back. Just this time she had the amulet."

"Alright, I just need to confirm what was happening with her. I was half worried it was something worse!" Dead laughed as she helped Rarity sort through the components that made up the concussion kit.

"Still, I don't know why she has come back. Nearly everypony in town disliked her to an extent after what happened." Rarity sighed. "Personally I just feel sorry for her.. I can't really bring myself to dislike a pony too much. But anyway, shes here and in our care until she wakes up. A pony in need is still a pony in need after all!" Rarity said triumphantly as her and Dead tended to Trixe.

Knock-knock-knock

"I'l get the door Rarity, you keep and eye on her." Dead said as she jumped up and made her way to the door. When she opened it she saw a rather surprised Twilight was stood in the doorway. "Oh hey Twilight, sorry for not dropping by. I kinda got caught up here with something."

"Oh no its fine Dead, Pinkie came over and asked me for help with that 'mission' you sent her on. But I need to let Rarity know that I am expecting a certain somepony to show up in town today." Twilight said sheepishly as she spoke.

"Hm does she happen to be a she?" Dead started.

"Yeah, but Rarity knows who I am on about." Twilight smiled as she tried to get past dead who blocked her advances.

"Has a coat like Rainbow's and pale blue hair?" Dead asked.

"Yeah... How did you know that?" A confused Twilight asked.

"Goes by the name of Trixe and once wore the Alicorn amulet?" Dead ended.

"Yes! Who told you this?"

"Nopony, well maybe Rarity. But I bumped into her earlier and she is currently out cold on the sofa." Dead gestured Twilight in and called out to Rarity. "Rarity! Its Twilight, she just coming in to see your guest!"
