Chapters "Stop, leave us alone!" A voice screamed
"Aaaarg!" A cream pegasus screamed as a brown stallion pinned her wing under his hoof
"Why should we do that?" One of them smirked "You seemed to have something that belongs to us"
"Please leave us alone, I..I.. don't.. know what you're talking about" The tan mare begged
"Don't lie to us" He smacked her with such force she fell to the floor
"MOM!" The young pegasus yelled trying run to her mother's side but the stallions hoof pinned her down that moving pulled her feathers off
"Where do you think your going?" The stallion smirked stepping harder on her wing harder as she screamed in pain
"I'm going to ask you one more time where is it" The blue stallion started to lose his patients with the mare
"I don't know what you're talking about" She replied trying to stand on her hooves
The stallion smacked her again as blood splattered on the floor "You little bitch, lets see if you speak after your daughter has no wing to fly with" He singled his friends who started to stomp harder on the fillies wing as the bones cracked
"Stop live her alone, I don't know what you want!" She yelled as her daughter screamed in pain "You're lying, handed it over" He stomped on her rib cage in anger as she gasped for air
Tears ran down the her cheeks as the young filly witnessed her mother in pain. She wanted to run to her side but colt held her down her wing went limp as room started to darken around her. "She fainted" the stallion said looking at his friend "Her mother won't be saying anything anymore, its time to go" The blue stallion said as his friend followed after him.
'Whats going on, where am I' The pegasus asked her self
'Jinx' A voice called out
She walked closer to a shadowy figure 'Mom?...'
'Jinx I'm sorry I couldn't protect you' Her mother said 'I'm sorry sweetie' she hugged her daughter
'It's not your fault mom' Jinx hugged her back
'Jinx I have to go' Tears form on her eyes 'I'm sorry sweetie' she petted her head
'Where are you going?... Wait from me... please don't leave me' Jinx rand after her but it seemed that she was getting further away 'please don't leave!'
"Hey Kid can you hear me" A voice called out
'I'm sorry'
"Come on kid stay with us" The voice called out "Were almost there"
'I don't want to leave you' Jinx said
"Can somepony help us!" The voice yelled
'I know sweetie' The tan mare hugged her daughter one last time as Jinx eyes opened a glimpse of a blue coat crossed her eyes. Fear took hold of her as she pushed herself away landing on floor, cringing in pain she slowly backing away as her surroundings seemed to spin.
"Easy kid were trying to help you" The blue mare stepped closer. Jinx took a few steps back as the room started to dracken. "The doctors just want to help" She said as a brown stallion slowly approached them.
"Stay...Away…" she said trembling
Sighing she turned around to talk to somepony "You want to give this a try? I think I'm just scaring her" A yellow mare walked tours Jinx 'She looks like mom' she thought "Mom…."she called out before fainting. "Mom?" the yellow mare said out loud as the doctors carried the filly away.
A cream mare opened her eyes slowly taking the surrounding of her room 'another nightmare' she sighed getting outta bed as a thump could be heard from the other side. "Sorry boy, are you okay?" she asked as a grey puff-ball ran tours her wagging his tail as Jinx happily petted him. "How about we go for walk after I get ready?" She said as puff-ball ran around her in circles. Walking into the bathroom the reflection on mirror made her stop 'I lost my wing that day' She moved the stump slowly 'I also lost my hearing on my right ear and a bit of my sight in the same side, that's why I have Chuck' Jinx looked in the mirror as Chuck stared at her "I'm okay boy, all hurry up" she smiled brushing her teeth and mane.
Walking down stairs Chuck followed after her. Putting on the her favorite blue hooded and the leash on chuck collar she walked outside as a cold breezes sent a shiver down her spine "I hate the cold" she said as Chuck started the pull her along the path.
"How about we get something to eat?" Jinx asked as Chuck wagged his tail moving her to the of the way as a flower-pot crashed next to her.
"Sorry" a mare with a red main said out the second floor window
"Its okay Rose" Jinx said waving as they walked away "Thanks boy, how about we go to sugar cube corner" she said as chuck lead her to the shop
"Hello and welcome to sugar cube corner" A pink mare happily said from behind the counter " Hi Jinx" she smiled
"Hi pinkie" She greeted "Can I two apple muffins?"
"Sure thing" She grind placing a paper bag on the counter
"Thanks Jinx smiled placed three bits on the counter
"No problem" Pinky pie waved like crazy as they walked away "Hey Jinx" she stopped looking at the pink mare "Fluttershy is looking for you,she seem worried about something" nodding her head she head out the door.
"Okay chuck let's go to Fluttershys cottage" She said as he started to walk in the direction of the cottage 'Wonder if Fluttershy is okay?'
It was a peaceful walk torus Fluttershy house Jinx walked in silence as chuck steered her out of any danger 'It looks like a nice day'
The clouds moved as a blue blur raced in the sky "Hey kid"
She place the dag on the ground to greet her "Hey Rainbow, what are you doing?"
"The weather team has us moving the clouds down south"
"Why are you doing that?"
"They need major rain since the drought last week"
The clouds drifted over then as Chuck tried to move Jinx out of the way it was too late as the cloud purred on her. Jinx was soaking wet as her mane cover her right eye and chuck's fur flatten draping on the ground "You all right kid" the blue mare asked
"I'm okay Dash" She moving her mane away from her face
"Are you sure?" Dash asked as she nodded
"I have to go, have fun at work" Jinx said picking up the dag as it ripped dropping the muffins on the ground tears started to from in her eyes
"Don't cry kid, I'm sure that Shy has some great snacks for you so don't get upset" The rainbow-colored mare a sure her. Nodding she started her walk 'wait how did she know that i was going to Fluttershy's house I never mention it' she thought as she carried chuck on her back looking back the rainbow-colored mare was gone.

Here's what Chuck looks like
Fluttershy hummed happily as she feed her animals for the upcoming winter 'Oh I hope that my little friends are going to be okay for the upcoming winter' The yellow Pegasus thought as a knock came from the door.
"Coming" She replied softly walking tours the door
"Oh my, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked seeing Jinx covered in mud as Chuck's fur was covered in small branches and leaves "What happened?!"
"I'm fine" She responded as the yellow Pegasus usher her inside "One of Rainbow Dash clouds rain on me, I tried to make my way over here but since chuck can't see with all the fur on his face " She said as Fluttershy placed a towel on her head "Thank you, I fell a couple of times and dumped into a couple of trees on the way here" she finished explaining
"I'm glad you're safe" Fluttershy smiled "You should take a shower, all take care of Chuck" nodding in agreement Jinx walked up the stairs "Are you going to be okay up there?"
"All be okay don't worry" She a sure Fluttershy disappeared into the second floor 'I hope that Chuck isn't giving her any trouble' She thought running her right hoof against the wall making sure not to bump into anything. Reaching the door at the end of the hall there were three butterflies the decorated the wooden door. Walking into the bathroom Jinx placed her hoodie next to the sink 'this reminds me of when I was younger' She thought walking into the warm bath 'Fluttershy took care of me for a long time ago' Jinx smiled at the old memorize.
"Fluttershy fluttershy look at what found" A small cream filly ran throughs her
"Slow down Jinx, you're going to get hurt…." It was too late as the small fillie was face down on the ground "Oh my... are you alright" Fluttershy raced to the fillies side
"I'm okay I just want to show you…" She looked around seeing a butterfly flying away "Its gone…" She said sadly as her hoof dug into the ground
"Don't cry" The yellow mare comfort her "Lets get you clean up" she said taking a handkerchief out of her sable bag to clean Jinx's face "So what were you going to show me?"
"It was the blue butterfly that you been trying to be friend" she explained as the handkerchief cleaned dirt of her face
"That was nice of you" Fluttershy smiled down at the fillie "How about we go visit the butterfly" She said putting the handkerchief away as Jinx smiled
A knock came from the door "Jinx are you okay in there?" Fluttershy voice called from the other side "I'm okay Fluttershy" She responded get out of the tube as hooves could be heard walking away. 'I wish that those day never ended' The cream mare was lost in thought as she dried herself off as a voice called out 'Jinx! Jinx!' looking around she voice echoed in the bathroom 'What's going on, why does my head hurt?' she held her head as her pink mane cover her face 'Come on Jinx come back don't give up!' the room became darker Jinx backed away in fear 'I...I need to leave' she opened the door and racing down stairs.
Down stair chuck could be heard running around as a soft voice called after him "Don't worry Chuck I'm sure that she'll be down here in a minute" Hoof steps could be heard running down the second floor.
"Are you causing trouble little guy" A voice came from the bottom of the stars chuck ran tackling Jinx onto the wooden floor "Okay I missed you two" she smiled giving him a hug trying to come her nerves 'Its wasn't real, I'm just imagining things'
Soft giggles could be heard "Aren't you two cute"
Jinx blushed placing Chuck next to her "Pinkie pie said that you wanted to talk to me?" she stood up as the walls behind the darkened closing them in
Fluttershy smiled "you need to wake up"
"What?" she looked around seeing the cottage disappeared "What's going on..?" Jinx asked nervously as Fluttershy stared at her
"You need to wake up" the yellow mare repeated "Its not your time" the room flashed white as Jinx snapped her eyes opened
"Jinx i'm so glad you're awake, I thought I've lost you" A mare with dark purple mane in braced her
"What's going on! how are you?" Jinx pushed her away feeling the cold stone floor underneath her. Glancing around the mare stared at her as two pairs of eyes looked at them from behind metal bars "Where an I?….."
"Jinx…" The gray mare asked stepping closer to her
"Who are you?..." Jinx backed away
"Its me Silver Heart" Silver stopped in front of her "Do you remember how I am?" She asked staring into her eyes. The cream mare backed away shaking her head no 'This is bad if she can't remainder….' The gray mare thought as her mane cover her face.
"She awake" a stallions voice can from down the hall as hoof steep could be heard "So it is true" he glanced at her "Well it took you long enough" A brown stallion smirked opening the steel door "Well move along there's someone who wants to speak to you two" he said as Silver walked out the cell. Jinx shaking in fear did not move earning an anger glare from the stallion "Get out her now!" he yelled "Silver get out here before I lose my temper" The stallion order her.
"Jinx we need to do what he says" Silver slowly approached her
"You have three seconds to get her out here, before a drag her out myself" The stallion warned Silver Heart
"You're going to have to trust me" The gray mare took Jinx's hoof as they walked out the cell
"Are you done wasting my time" He said angrily "You two come along, I don't want them to cause any trouble" The stallion order the guards by the jail cell whom followed quickly "Silver bring her a log and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid"
"I can't promise you that" Silver glanced at the terrified mare next to her
"Oh whys that I thought she was your girl" He mocked her seeing the cream mare stop
"Jinx you need to keep moving, all explain everything later" The gray mare repeated like a broken record
"Don't you sound disappointed" The stallion grinned "She really is broken, what a pity" He laughed as Silver glared at him "What did I hit a nerve" He smirked "You going to try something, I wouldn't if you want to keep her safe" She looked at the mare next to her
"Shouldn't you be taking us somewhere" The gray mare said walking past him as Jinx followed after her
"What can't take a joke" He laughed walking behind them
The brown stallion continued throwing insults at Silver as the walked down the hallway she just smiled ignoring him and continue like it was a normal conversation. Jinx keep quiet not knowing what was happening she glanced at Silver seeing pane in her eyes as the stallion keep taking. Reaching the end of the hall they enter an elevator taking to them to the top floor the door ding as they stepped out of seeing the surroundings they seemed out of place. The floor was made out of marble as the walls shined white, the reached two wooden oak doors with a single star. The brown stallion knocked on the door "Men keep an eye on them" he said before walking in "Yes sir" They saluted
"Jinx when we go in there try to stay calm" She stopped taking a breath " I know things seem confusing right now and all explain everything I promise"
"How long?" The cream mare asked as Silvers ears feel back not wanting to look at her "How long have I been here? Please tell me"
"We meet five years ago but we been here three years" Silver looked at her "I know that this might seem crazy but we been together for a very long time I've always looked after you" She looked at Jinx as the door open letting them entered.
Walking into the room two red eyes stared at them "Hello girls" A black mare said
"Hello ma'am" Silver said as the mare walked throws them "Know now no need to be so formal"
"Yes of course ma'am….uh Jeta" The gray mare found it hard to say as Jeta stopped in front of them
"It good to see that you're okay Jinx" Jeta put her hoof on her face as Silver glared at her "No need to get mad i'm just glad my champion is still alive"
"Yes of course ma'am" she said staring at wooden desk in front of her
"Now Jinx can I have a word with you in private?" Jeta asked as Jinx looked at the gray mare beside her "Don't worry you won't be too far away from each other"
"If you don't mind ma'am it would be fro the beast if I stay in the room" The gray mare said as Jeta looked at her 'What are you planning'
"Silver wait outside" The black mare said as Jinx glanced at her "I will not repeat myself"
"Yes ma'am" Silver said stepping out of the room as she sat on the marble floor. It felt like an eternity waiting out side of the doors she paced back in forth in tell the door creaked an Jinx stepped out.
"She wants to speak to you" she said a boding eye contact with the grey mare nodded entering the room
"You ask for me ma'am" Silver said closing the door
The mare stood in front of her desk "How long is it going to take for her to regain her memory?" she asked
"A month or so as long we don't trigger too many events at once" Jinx explained
"That's too long I need her ready for a match tomorrow" Jeta explained getting closer 'Are you serious the only reason she like this is because of the fight you put her in'
"If I force her to remainder she might secluded herself from everyone" The gray mare explained
"Well then you should get to work" Jeta said walking around Jinx "Unless you want me to take her of your hands" She said as Silver eyes followed her "What cat got your tongue"
"No ma'am I just believe that forcing her to regain her memories is going to force a situation that you wouldn't like" She explained
"I'll make you a deal" Jeta smiled "You have a week help her in tell them you are going to take her matches and one of my newest pet" She said placing a hoof under Silvers chin "So what do you say let her live for a day or a week"
'You're gambling with some ponies life, she not a toy you can take apart and put back together whenever you feel like it' nodding Jeta grin "That's a good girl" she said walking to door behind her desk opening it she called out "Come on out" a filly walk shivering in fear as Jeta closed the door "Here take her I know you won't disappoint me" the fillies cote was covered in dirt, leaves were tangle in her mane
"Can you walk?" Silver asked the filly who simply stared at her "Here get on" She needle on the floor as the filly climbed on her back
"Make sure Jinx is ready for next week and the girl is ready for tomorrow" Jeta said sitting down
"Yes ma'am" Silver said leaving the room
Jinx waited on the opposite side of the of the doors as the guards went back to patrol. Silver Hearth stepped out "Lets go Jinx" She said walking away as the cream mare followed after her
"Why is there a filly on your back?" Jinx asked try to keep up
"I'm training her" The gray mare answered honestly "We need to get back" She pressed the elevator button
"Training? for what?" Jinx asked as a ding could be heard
"I train ponies for battle, Jeta likes to have fun" She explained stepped inside
"Battle? what do you mean? are we at war? why are we bring children into this?" The cream mare asked question after question
"No were not at war, children like this little filly get picked up from the streets, trained and then put to fight" silence glumed over them "I didn't catch your name little one" Silver said over her shoulder
"Don't have one" She whispered
"Didn't you mom give you one" Jinx looked at her "Where are you from?"
"I don't know maybe somewhere north" She said more confidently as the elevator doors opened
"Why don't we continued this conversation in the cell" Silver walked through the jail cell as the brown filly, Jinx followed quietly. Eyes followed them walking past the cells some yelled others screamed in pain 'I wish things could be different' Silver thought a white stallion guard opened the door 'Looks like she's going to keep an eye on us' she glanced at guard.
"This is are stop little one" Silver needle on the ground letting the fillie hopped off "Why don't you talk to Jinx while I get a few things" She nodded as the gray mare walked away
"Why don't we get the leaves out of your mane" Jinx sat in front of her "How long have you been here?" she asked seeing Silver take a small box from under the bed taking a small bag out
"Six years I don't really remember any other place" She explained as Jinx mussel remove a leaf
"If it makes you feel better I don't remainder being here" She smiled at the filly as Silver talked to the guard "You really don't have a name? is there something everyone calls you?"
"No not a proper name the guard ponies called me 205 everyone got a number" She explained Jinx stopped staring at the young filly
"Girls i'll be back try not to cause any trouble" Silver walked out of jail cell as they both nodded
"205...how about we give a real name what do you say" The cream mare notice a smile on the fillies face "I would like that"
"Okay how about Swift risk" The filly tilted her head "You're right its more of a Pegasus name how about ACE charm" She looked confused "No you have a glimmer of hope in you how about Stardust" Silver notice the fillies ears flicker as her tale mode back in forth "Stardust it is" Jinx petted her headed
"Hey i'm back" Silver saw them smiling "Did I miss anything" she walked in with a bag on her back
"Nothing much just found out her name" Jinx smiled
"Oh really, what's your name little one?" The gray mare asked placing the bag on ground
The filly looked at Jinx how nodded "Its Stardust"
"That's a nice name" Silver smiled "So how about we get you cleaned up seems like Jinx got most of the leave out of your mane" The unicorn guard brought in a washtub and water into the cell "Here you go" She placed three bits on his hoof
"Come here little star let's get you cleaned up" Stardust sat in front of her "The water is cold sorry about that"
"That's okay i'm just happy to get clean" Star smiled as Silver placed her in tub
"So Star has anyone thought how to fought?" She asked washing her mane
"No I was runt" She looked at her reflection
"Don't worry after this i'll teach you some basic to get you through tomorrow" Sliver smiled at her "Jinx can you get the cover from the bed" The mare nodded "Okay time to get you dry" Silver lifted her as a thin sheet cover her "Why don't you dry off before we begin practice" she walked away
"Okay" Stardust dried herself off revealing a dark red cote, her mane being a mix of light blue and navy blue
"Here I got you something" Silver said pulling a small blue hooded out of the bag "Make sure that you wear it outside of the match if you wear it opponents can use it against you" Stardust nodded taking in the information "Okay Jinx were going to practices stay here tomorrow you'll both practice together" She walked over to the bed pulling out a letter out of a wooden chest "Here its for you it will explain what's going on" Silver handed a letter nodding Jinx took it "Well see you in a little bit" Jinx looked at the envelope it had her name written in the front opening the envelope there were three letters

“Hey don't I get a choose or something” The cream mare tried to fight back
“Shut up if she says you need to go then its my job to help” Diana explained
“Hey wait” She reached the edge as Diana let her go
“Have a fun time” The red mare yelled as Jinx fell into a pit of darkness as images flashed in front of her eyes
Jinx shoot out bed sweat dripping of her face “Did you have a nightmare?” Stardust rubbed her eyes “No it was a normal dream until the end” She answered as Stardust hugged her “It was just a dream all be okay” Jinx hugged the young filly looking around for Silver Heart but she wasn't there “Wheres Silver?” The red fillie shrugged stepping out of bed as Jinx walked over where Silver was sleeping seeing a letter on top of a blanket address to her.

“I wouldn't count on it” Silver responded as the stallion lead her to the infirmary
Silver limped down the hall stopping outside the cell as sofa giggles could be heard ‘I'm glad she feeling better’ she smiled walking inside “What's so funny?” She asks as there smiles disappeared
“What happened? are you okay?” Jinx asked seeing the mare cover bandages
“I'm fine its not the worst thing that happened” She walked up to then

“Can I still fight?” She asked as the doctor glanced at her
“I wouldn't encourage it you can barely stand” The white mare looked serious “You broken four ribs and fractured two. From your past injuries your heart can be in danger we need to monitor you for twenty four hours ”
“A’ll take my chances” She stepped out of the bed

12:00 pm
Jinx felt something shake turning around she opening her eyes a young unicorn mare stared at her worried. "What's going on!?" she backed away falling off the bed on to the floor. The white mare looked at her for a second and then disappeared Jinx looked over the bed seeing her pick up a sketch book opening it she began to write something down 'Are you okay? I hope you're not hurt'
"I'm fine just a little confused as to where I am" She told the white mare who started to write again
'Were in canterlot you should know that' she let out a soft giggle
"I don't want to be rude but how are you exactly?"
The white mare started to write 'I'm Lilly your best friend remainder' the word remainder was underlie several time
"Okay one more question why are we sleeping in the same bed?" Jinx looked at Lilly how was blushing furiously
'I got scared and sneaked into your room' she looked away
"Go back to bed" she told her but Lilly place the sketchbook in front of her face "I can't read it if it's this close" She said as the white mare moved it away
'Its dark outside you wouldn't let me walk back alone' Jinx looked at Lilly how was giving her the puppy eyes
"Alright you can stay just stop doing that" Smiling she hugged her
"I'll get another blanket and sleep on the floor" She said
Lilly let her go and started to write 'Are you sure you're okay, if it's another nightmare you can tell me' She looked at her worried
"It wasn't a nightmare it just felt so real like it was reality…. don't worry it was a good dream" She said walking to the closet and taking out another blanket placing it on the floor by the bed
'You know we can just share the bed' Lilly looked at her
"Well since I live here and that's my bed maybe I should just kick you out" Jinx grind at her
'I'll just go to sleep now' she placed the sketch book down quickly turned off the lights Jinx closed her eyes trying to reminder her dream.

Jinx opened her eyes a few minutes later 'Whats going on was that a dream or is this a dream' she looked at the bed seeing the young unicorn sleeping soundly sighing she stood up walking to the bedroom door 'I need some fresh air ' she close the door making sure not to wake up Lilly. Walking through the small apartment moon light came through the windows "Is this really where I live?" Jinx notice a picture frame on a desk. Picking up the picture it showed a young filly her coat was a cream color a light pink mane sat behind her ear a yellow mare hugging the young filly 'Fluttershy?' she picked up the frame examining the picture 'What's going on? okay I need fresh air before I start to lose my mind' She place the frame down walking to the front door looking back Jinx sighed closing the door.
The moon gleamed as the star danced in the sky wind blowing sent shivers down her spine walking down the stairs into the open street she headed north the street lights led the way 'I don't understand if this is reality what exactly is going on, but what if this is the dream I have to find a way to wake up' she walked past an empty stores 'I have to get back to them' Jinx shook her head 'Okay I need to calm down there's has to be a reason why this is happening if only silver was here' She stopped 'That's it silver heart has to be here I just need to find her, i'll ask Lilly if she knows anyone by that name'
"Excuse me ma'am is everything okay" Jinx turned to see a canterlot guard
"Yes everything is alright I was just out for a walk" She explained
"Its pretty late to be out for a walk" He looked at her
"Yes you're right, I should head back" Jinx started to walk
"Let me accompany you" she looked at the guard "Its my job to keep civilians safe"
"Okay but first can you tell me your name" The guard looked confused at her
"Night Light ma'am" the cream mare giggle "Is something wrong"
"No that's a wonderful name shall we get going" The guard nodded as the walked down the street. They talked on the way back finding out he just graduated from military school and started his job two weeks ago. She tried to answer the questions he asked but she really didn't know what was happening herself.

Sunlight leaked into the room Jinx walked to bedroom door peeking inside Lilly was sleeping soundly 'I need some coffee ' she thought closing the the door.
'Coffee coffee coffee' Jinx looked around spotting a coffee machine she walked up to the machine 'Okay step one complete now need to find coffee' she opened a few cabinets 'If I was coffee where would I be' eyeing the cabinet next to stove the coffee sat in front of her 'There you are' Jinx smiled not noticing the mare behind her walking back to the machine something poked her shoulder. Jinx jumped dropping coffee beans on the floor turned around Lilly looked at her "Don't do that" The cream mare yelled angrily Lilly faced the floor as her hoof dug into the wood "I'm sorry I shouldn't of yelled how about you get ready and all clean this up" she nodded walking back to the room putting the coffee to brew Jinx spotted the broom next to the trash can after cleaning she made herself a cup of coffee.

Sitting down she waited for Lilly to return 'I wonder why she doesn't talk' she took a sip of her coffee. Lilly walked up to the table placing her sketchbook next to Jinx "There's some fresh coffee" she pointed at the machine the sketchbook levitated as Lilly began to write
'Thanks do you mind if I eat something' shaking her head Lilly walked up to the fridge
"Can I ask you something?" Jinx looked at sketchbook levitating tours the unicorn then to her 'Sure ask away'
"Why don't you speak?" The sketchbook escaped her magical grasp falling to the table "I'm sorry I shouldn't of asked"

"I'm sorry have you told me before?" the white mare nodded "Then i'm sure all reminder" She smiled at her
'are you okay?' The white mare looked at her
"Yes i'm okay, hey by any chance do you know any pony name Silver Hearth?"
Lilly looked at her curiously before writing something down 'No why do you have a crush on some pony?' Jinx spit coffee out before looking at her 'You do! tell me what's he like?'
Jinx blush "What?! no i'm going to get ready" Jinx walked away ignoring the sketchbook following her "Forget that I asked just clean up after you done" She walked into the bedroom

Jinx walked out of the room noticing Lilly grinning at her "What?"
She wrote something quickly 'Noting I made you some food' glancing at the plate on the other side of the table
"Thanks" Jinx sat down taking a bit of the food
'Where were you last night I woke up and you weren't there?' Lilly drew a worry face at the end of the sentence
"I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk" She answered "Don't worry I just needed to think a guard walked be back after he found me standing by myself" Lilly started to write when a knock came from the door "I'll be right back"
Jinx opened the door as a red earth pony with straight black mane looked at her "Is Lilly here?"
"How's asking?" The cream mare blocked her view
"Hello it's Diana don't be an idiot just get her I know she's here" Diana began to get anger
"She's here all ask her to come to the door" Jinx said closing the door but was stopped by her hoof
"What's wrong with you just let me in dummy" The red mare looked at her strangely
"Okay" she opened the door "Lilly there's some pony here for you" the unicorn wasn't at the table anymore "Lilly?" Jinx looked around the room
"She's probably in your room" Diana walked tours the door
"Hey hold on you can't just barge into my room" Silver stood in front of her
"Alright then open the door I don't have all day to argue" The red mare looked at Jinx. Sighing she opened the door stepping inside Diana followed after her "Lilly come on out it's me Diana" The unicorn mare walked out the bathroom a small smile on her face 'Hey Diana'
"You know her" Jinx asked looking at Lilly confuses
"Hey kid are you okay?" The mare looked at not sure if she was playing around

"Because you're acting strange" Lilly nodded in agreement "Do you needed to go to the hospital?"
"No I feel fine" She backed away from them
"Alright then Lilly we need to get going you missed your first class already" Diana explained she sighed 'Alright'
"Hey hold on who are exactly" Diana looked at her confuses
"Are you sure you're okay" Nodding she spoke again "I'm a royal grad from the snow lands my job is to protect her, which is hard to do when sneaks out during the night" The mare looked at her
'Sorry' Lilly looked down as her hoof taped the floor
Diana sighed "Next time just tell me and all bring you instead of looking for you all night long"
She looked at her 'I'm Sorry I made you worry' Diana nodded accepting the apology
"Wait hold on who is she really" Jinx asked surprised hearing the information
"Okay where going to the hospital" Diana looked at her 'I agree'

"Alright girls you should head to class all be here to pick you up at the end of day" Diana waited for them to walk into the building before leaving
"Hey Lilly this might sound strange but what class do I have?"

"She's a diplomat's daughter that should be enough information" She looked at her "But you should already know that"
"Sorry for asking so many question"
"Its fine" Diana sighed "Lilly I wouldn't try that" She turned seeing the unicorn sneaking up on her 'Aww' she smiled "We should get going, will drop Jinx of at her apartment before heading home" 'Okay we could by any chance get ice cream on the way' "Maybe after dinner" 'Yes!'
"You two look like mother and daughter if I don't know any better" they both looked at her
"Its my job to look after her" Diana answered "Let's get going" they started to walk tours the apartment "How did your classes go Lilly" 'Good i'm still having problems with some magic spells I'll have to practice later' Diana read the page while dodging the pedestrians "Just keep practicing you'll get the spells" 'How did your day go Jinx?' She glanced at the pare making sure not to hit anyone walking by
"I spent most of my day lost in the academy" Jinx answered honestly 'Did you ask for help' "No I don't feel like bothering some pony else, all ask for my homework tomorrow" 'I can help if you want' "A map of the school would help" she glanced at her 'I have one at home i'll bring it to you tomorrow' "Thanks" they stopped in front of the green building
"Well see you tomorrow kid if you're not feeling well call us" Diana smiled 'were just a phone call away' Jinx wasn't paying attention across the road there was a young filly with a red coat her mane was a mix of blues next to her was a grey mare with a purple mane they stood in front of a toy store "Hey kid you alright" the mare wave a hoof in front of her. The cream mare mode past them making her way across the street like in a trance she didn't look away from them "Lilly stay here" She nodded as Diana followed after her apologizing to the ponies that were pushed out of the way "Jinx what's wrong?" she didn't respond Jinx made her way up to the store a stallion bumped into her stumbling she managed to balance herself "Watch where you're going!" he yelled "Sorry sir she'll be more careful" Diana apologize noticing her stop in front the store
"Jinx are you okay?"
"Did you see where they went?" Diana looked around but there too many ponies in the crowd
"Who?" Jinx turned to face her
"The gray mare and the red filly did you see where they went" She was about to cry
"Jinx why don't you stay with us tonight" Diana hugged her "We should get back Lilly is waiting for us" Jinx nodded staying close to the red mare 'Is she okay?' "I don't know keep an eye on her she staying with us tonight" 'Jinx what's wrong' "She's not going to respond Lilly leave her alone right now okay" She nodded keeping an eye on her friend.

"Sit down i'll bring you something to drink Lilly just act like a normal day she might break her out of trance" 'Okay' She saluted as Diana walked away.
'Do you want to see a magic trick?' Lilly asked as the cream mare shrugged 'I will take that as a yes' she smiled laughing her horn shooting a bolt into the room as star danced around the room they scattered together into a rose
"Thats nice" Jinx stared at her blankly
'Okay how about this' she elevated the flower form the vase on the table the petals elevated of the flower surrounding Jinx the petals started to glow green transforming into rose they danced around her before levitating above her. The rose gather together they started to glow as they exploded as the petals gently fell around the cream mare her eyebrow rouse

'What! no! I was trying to snap you out of the trance' she blushed furiously.
"Alright I believe you it seemed liked worked" she smiled that the blushing mare
'Yea yea' Lilly looked away
"What oh sorry for what I said" she scratched the back of her head the white mare faced the floor as her hoof scratched the wooden floor "Oh sweet celestia I was right Lilly I was only playing around i'm sorry I wasn't really thinking"
Sighing she wrote something down 'I know it just….you know what never mind do you want to see another magic trick?'
"Lilly can we talk about this?"
'I don't really want to talk about okay'
"Do you know the true love spell?" The unicorn nodded "Perfect" Jinxed smiled "use it on me then I can show you" her hoof laid on her chest
'Show me what?' Lilly asked
"Just trust me okay" The unicorn nodded as her horn light up a green beam hit Jinx she to glow green as two figures a paraded in front of them
'How are they?' she asked
"There my family" a gray mare with short purple main stood in front of her next to the mare was a young filly her coat was red as her main was a mix of blues
'What do you mean? I don't understand' the unicron was frustrated
"I don't know how to explain this I just know" Jinx tried to hug silver but the image became smoked "I know it's hard to understand but I do love you" to more images appeared in front them two mares that reasonable Lilly and Diana "You are part of my family someone that's important to me even if I don't remainder" she smiled at mare
'I'm glad that you think of us to be so important' she smiled tears ran down her cheeks
The cream mare hugged her "I know that this isn't the answer that you wanted to hear" Lilly hugged her back Jinx pulled away to look at her face "Feeling better?" the unicorn nodded a small smile on her face "Do you want to show me another magic trick?"
'sure' Lilly smiled at her 'Hey Jinx...' the cream mare looked confused at her 'thanks' she leaned in kissing the pegasus
Taken by surprise Jinx pulled away "Well did I interrupt something" the both turned see Diana balancing a plate with waters on her headed
'Wait no its not what it looks like' she blushed as her handwriting was shake Jinx looked away not wanting to make eye contact
"If you say so seems you got her out of the trans" she grinned at her "Whatever you did it worked"
"How long were you there?"
"Long enough" She smiled "By the way are those supposed to be moving?" she pointed at image of silver how looked anger standing next to Jinx
'No' she looked at the image 'I should probably end the spell' she light her horn as the images went up into smoke
"Glad you feeling better kid" Diana placed the glasses of water on the coffee table "But made next time you lay of the kissing"
"Hey hold on a moment it wasn't my idea" Jinx held her hooves up in defense
"Right" Diana stared at them both "Look i'm going to cook dinner you can go back to whatever you two are doing" She laughed walking back to the kitchen the two mares worriedly looked at each other
'So….that happened' Lilly played with her hoofs
"Yea" she answered sheepishly
'Do you still want to see the spell i'm working on?' the cream mare nodded Lilly smiled her horn lighting up clouds from above them snow gently fell saved them Jinx laid out her hoof out as snowflake landed on it 'wait i'm not done yet' the snow gather together creating a beautiful flower garden 'go ahead' she placed her hoof on a flower the snow fell on to the floor revealing beautiful ice flowers gleaming in different colors
"There beautiful" Lilly lifted a rose up to her
"Hey you two" They both turned seeing Diana "Lilly what have I told you about using weather magic inside the house"
'Not to do it' she sighed
"Good now clean this up before you flood the house again" she turned towards Jinx "Diner is almost ready, Jinx why don't you help me set the table" nodding she followed Diana into the kitchen
7:00 pm
After dinner Diana informed Jinx that Fluttershy would visit her in the morning. "Why is she coming?" She asked
"I think that she should know about your hallucinations you been having" Diana explained Jinx stayed silent "Why don't you start on your homework while I check with the guards" they both nodded walking back to the living room. Hours pass as the moon rose in the sky they walked up stairs saying good night they walked into separate rooms.
Jinx looked around the room sighing she looked at the night sky "I need some fresh air" She opened the bedroom door she walked down stair making sure not to be herded walking out of the house Jinx made her way down the street arriving at the park she sat down looking at the sky. "I wish you were here" Jinx laid down digging her hoof into the ground grass flew into the sky "Wish how was here" The cream Pegasus jumped quickly turning around.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you" Diana stood in front of her
Relaxing she asked "What are you doing here?"
"I saw you sneak out of the house" She sat down patting the ground next to her
Jinx sat next to her after a few moment of silences she decided to speak "Sorry I left the house, I just had too many things on my head"
"Do you want to talk about it?" Shaking her head Diana decided not to ask anything else staying silent they sat as the night went on "We should get back" Nodding they walked down the path "Don't worry i'm sure that every will get better" The red earth pony wrap her hoof around Jinx.
Off in the distance smoke rouse to the sky "Hey isn't that where the house is at?" Diana quickly let go and rushed off to the direction of the smoke as the cream pegasus followed after her. Arriving at the house flames surrounded the building the unicorn guards were unconscious on the ground a few other were moving the away from the flames as the rest of the guards tried to put out the flames.
The red earth pony quickly ran over to them "Wheres Lilly" They stayed silence looking at the building. Diana quickly ran to the door kicking it down the flames grew pushing her back.
"Diana it's too dangerous" Jinx yelled warning her but she was too late the red earth pony had already jumped in as wooden planks fell blocking the door. Every pony stayed silent waiting for any sign that they had survived. From the second floor a window exploded as Diana jumped out landing on the ground she quickly collapsed on her back Lilly laid unconscious. The guard quickly ran to help them helping Diana to her feet "She not breathing" she said weakly one of the guards gave her CPR but Lilly wasn't responding.
Tears ran down Jinx cheeks she didn't know what to do she tried to move forward but couldn't there was something in her way placing hoof up she reached out causing ripples to appear. "What's going" Jinx tried to walk through what seemed like a barrier. "I wouldn't do that" A voice called she turned around seeing Diana "What's going on why can't I go any further?"
She sighed "Its the end of the memory"
"What do you mean what happened to you to Lilly?" She asked still crying
"Lilly die that day isn't that right?" Diana looked to her right seeing the white unicorn "Well I die at the hospital two days after, I suffered third degree burns my body finally gave out" Jinx stayed silent taking in all the information "Come on kid we need to get going" Diana said walking away as Lilly walked next to her "Go where?" She asked catching up "To the next memory" Jinx stopped "What if I don't want to go" The red earth pony stopped they all stood in front of a mirror "You don't have a choose you wanted to reminder do you think we like to so see all of this happen to us all over again" She said angrily "Look you going like it or not" Diana nodded at Lilly who gave a sad smile as her horn light up levitating Jinx "Hey put me down" She struggled to get free as the unicorn stopped in front of the mirror "Sorry kid this is for your owned good" Diana finally said as Lilly pushed her through the mirror. "Stop I don't want this I want to go back" She yelled passing through the mirror "I'm sorry" Lilly finally said tears running down her face "Wait what's going on?" She yelled falling into the dark abyss.
