Missing

Angelwing’s POV

That after all the day’s events I crawled into bed with Aether, and quickly fell asleep. I slept in his hooves like I always did. It made me feel secure; I feel that with being his embrace I could face anything in life.

That night I dreamt a dream that I was at a picnic with Aether and the kids, and was a beautiful dream, and it reminded me of the day this actually happened which was actually a few weeks ago. Holly, Lyla, and Thomas were playing by a tree while Aether and I lay with each other, me in his lap, and we were laughing and drinking a glass of wine.

I knew I was smiling in my sleep because I loved my beautiful family. The dream was a great dream. I thought nothing could go wrong. I watched myself laugh and play with Aether and the kids. Soon dark clouds began to cover the beautiful sky, so in turn I thought it was just a storm so we went to gather the kids, but as I picked up Holly I noticed Thomas was missing.

“Thomas” I repeatedly called out searching for my son. Aether put the two girls in the wagon while I searched for Thomas. As I walked the wind started to pick up and I could swear I heard Aether call that he was at the car, but when I got to the car I found that Lyla had also disappeared most likely looking for her little brother.

“Aether, stay here and watch Holly.” I said turning around going out again to look for my now two missing foals.

“Angel” I heard Aether again, but as I ran back I saw him just disappear, along with Holly, who seemed mortified.

“Aether” I screamed watching my husband dissipate to nothing but dust in the wind.

I wandered as the sky got darker. I couldn’t find Thomas, Holly, Aether, or Lyla. I was terrified.

“Where are you?” I repeatedly called but I knew they couldn’t hear me through the harsh wind and now rain that pelted down, it felt like needles. Each drop pierced my fur with force; I could feel it down to my skin. I continued walking through the downpour. Nothing was going to stop me from finding my family.

As I wander I start to think will I ever see my family again. What caused this dream to take a turn for the worse? My eyes were forced to shut because the rain was coming down hard and I was blinded as I ran. My mane and tail whipping in the wind, I knew I couldn’t stay in this rain much longer.

That thankfully was the end of the dream. I woke up to find the sun shining through the curtains that were wide open. By that I knew Aether was up he always opened the curtains when he woke up, but why did he wake me up? He always wakes me up, either he or one of the foals.

“It’s not my birthday, nor mother’s day. What’s going on?” I say to myself getting out of bed and walking downstairs.

“Aether?” no answer

“Lyla” no answer

“Thomas” again no answer,

“Holly” and again no answer

“Okay what is going on?” I walk down the stairs. The entire house was empty and the front door left wide open. I enter the kitchen to find Holly’s bear that was always by her side. NO matter where she went this bear was always with her.

I go back to the kid’s room and it’s empty. Walking back out to the front door I find no one but the neighbors out in their yards. I go back inside

“Aether” I scream through the house, but like I expected there was no answer. I finally had searched the entire house, and no pony was there so I stormed out of the house leaving everything behind. I held the necklace that Aether gave me on my birthday tight as I flew to my uncle’s house. I started banging on the door frantically.

“Angelwings, what’s the matter?” My uncle finally answered the door.

“I can’t find Aether or the kids. I was wondering if it would be possible if they stopped by here.” I could tell that my uncle had no idea that they were missing.

“Angelwings, I’m sorry they aren’t here. Do you want me to help you look?”

I shook my head; I didn’t want my uncle to tangle in this. I was afraid that something might happen to him. I gave him a hug and turned to go see if I could find my family.

I tried three more places, My parent’s gravesite, Aether’s parents’ house, The Canterlot castle and I ended up at the crystal castle which is where I am right now.

“You sure they aren’t home?” Cadence asked me, as we walked into the castle.

“No Cadence, I tore the house apart and I couldn’t find them anywhere.”  U hung my head thinking of when I found Holly’s bear on the kitchen floor.

“Well it’s late and you have a long flight home, so why don’t you stay here tonight.” Cadence pointed to the room we were standing next to.

“Thanks Cade” I gave my best friend a hug then went into the room that I would be staying in and quickly fell asleep.
