Death Should Not Have Come To Thee

Luna's hoof steps echoed through the fog as she approached Twilight. Twilight was sitting there as usual, but something seemed different. They have had their meetings like this before, but usually Twilight is sitting in the field facing Luna's general entrance point with a beautiful smile on her face. But this time, Twilight was facing away from her, and she could feel the utter confusion irradiate off of her.

Luna approached her. "Twilight are you alright?"

Twilight shot up and turned around "Luna! Um, yeah! I just... uh... don't know how I got here..."

Luna tilted her head in confusion before a giggle erupted from her. "Twilight, my dear! You know you must have fallen asleep to get here!"

Twilight sighed. "That's the problem, you see. I was in the middle of organizing the shelves at the library, and I had a decent sleep the night before, but for some reason I can't remember dozing off." She muttered.

Luna's expression faded into a serious one as she stared at Twilight "Most curious indeed, I'll go and see if I can wake you."

Twilight nodded. "That would be best, thank you Luna."

Luna nodded before focusing all of her energy into sending Twilight back to Equestria. The air thickened and a pale blue light began to surround both Luna's horn and lightly around Twilight. Luna's eyes widened as she began to realize that there was no link between the real world and dream scape present. Her horns light faded.

"Twilight I- I don't think I can!" She admitted baffled.

"What? Why is that Luna?" She asked.

Luna shook her head in disbelief as she spoke. "Twilight, I can't find what connects you between this world and Equestria! I have to go back and pull you out physically!" She said, panic causing her voice to quiver a bit.

Twilight nodded, approaching Luna. "Hey Luna?"

Luna stared at the violet alicorn. "Yes?"

Twilight smiled with a quizzical expression. "You'll come back for me, right?"

Luna smiled warmly as she waltzed over to Twilight, embracing her and giving her a light peck on the cheek before reassuring her mate. "Of course I will, Twilight."

With that, Twilight sat back down as Luna's horn began to glow once more, fading the princess into nothingness. Luna shot up in her quarters. She glanced around to find that she was in her bed, where she fell asleep. She shot up out of bed and began to prepare her teleportation spell. With a blink of an eye she was in front of Ponyville's famous town hall. She took time to get used to her surroundings, then bolted to the library Twilight was most likely occupying. She slowed her pace into a halt when she noticed the ponies in navy blue uniforms. Ponyville's police officers we wandering about the grounds of the library, a few discussing something, a couple others entering and exiting the library, and a few eating doughnuts by one of the stands. Luna continued to watch, curious and baffled by the sight.

It took the sight of a paramedic rushing in to cause her to remember why she was here. She galloped to the library, her presence causing most of the police ponies to bow, but she didn't care, her main priority was Twilight Sparkle. She made her way through the door way and stopped dead in her tracks.

Inside, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, and Spike were crowded around something. She approached the point of interest to get a better look, and her blood ran cold. She know why Twilight couldn't wake up. She was laying on the ground, oxygen mask placed over her mouth. Tears were streaming down the faces of her friends except for Apple Jack, who was biting her lip, attempting to hold back any signs of emotion, and Rainbow Dash, whose gaze was locked on the wood paneling.

She chocked on her words. "W-what happened?"

The six turned their gaze to Luna.

Pinkie was the first to speak, her mane flat with depression and sadness, her mind bubbly in panic. "S-she was getting a book, and she fell head first off the ladder by the stair case." She stopped to wipe her tears and sniffle a bit. "Then she fell down the stairs and... and..." She began to wail, Fluttershy held her and joined in on the wailing, though her wail was more of a quiet sobbing.

She turned her head and walked over to a paramedic. "You there! Please tell us that Twilight Sparkle will be okay!" She bellowed.

The paramedic looked at her grimly. "We don't know yet, Princess... but she...." He was cut off by his co-worker sounding off behind him.

Everything she heard turned into a murmur as the words spoken next tore her heart out. "Time of death, 5:36 PM"

Everypony's wails increased, almost unbearably so. Tears began to roll down Luna's cheeks, but she shook her head. This couldn't be happening.

"NO! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT SUCH VILE OCCURRENCES HATH HAPPENED!" She bellowed before charging out of the library. She teleported back to her quartered and fell unto her bed, drifting into a deep sleep.

She charged through the fog, determined to find Twilight. She ran to the field where they always met, but found nothing. Maybe she ran the wrong way in her state of mind? She searched the entire area before the realization hit that Twilight was gone. Both in the dream world, and the real one. She fell down, her whole world spinning out of control.

She had broken her promise, and as a result. Never would see that beautiful violet face again, with those stunning eyes. She would never feel her embrace. Her body tingled, she was cold. So very cold.

She shot up out of her bed, her room was empty. The only light was from the moon, which was flooding in her window, splashing on her bed and most of her floor. She let out a sigh. She still felt cold, it had to be real.

Oh, Why does it have to be real...
