When the power of the elements receded Adagio and her companions Sonata and Aria fell back down to the ground and were left on their knees. Adagio slowly lifted her shaking hand and rubbed her head in dismay. Her heart was pounding deep in her chest. It felt like it could burst out at any moment. That’s when she saw the blood;her life, and her necklace broken before her. The pendants were shattered; their power seeping out of them. Adagio, Sonata, and Aria all stood up first still on shaking legs, but after a few seconds they firmly stood.They breathed out, closed their eyes and let out a singing note. It was wrecked and raspy. Everyone around them began to boo them, screaming and yelling placing weight and hate on their shoulders. The shame was too much for them. Tears built in their eyes. they ran off the stage and out of the crowds sight.

“Adagio, we sounded terrible!” Sonata had tears that already were flowing down her cheeks she tried to stop crying, but couldn’t as she ran with Adagio and Aria. “I can’t believe this is happening!” she tripped over her own feet as she ran and fell face first to the ground . She clashed to the ground with a yelp and a groan. Adagio immediately went to her friend’s aid. When she reached sonata she stopped due to a sudden pain like a stab deep inside her. Adagio put her hand on her own chest. The sharp pain increases in intensity. Adagio felt a warm sensation running down her hand. Adagio’s eyes slowly shifted down to look at the problem. Her hand was shining with her own blood. It started to come out of her mouth as well. She looked to her friends only to find they two were bleeding. The crystals sudden disappearance had come with unsuspecting consequences.

Adagio felt very light headed now her head spinning vision blurring. She had very bad tunnel vision. She could see Aria cripple onto the ground in pain. The elements of harmony may not be used to kill; but in this instance it had accidentally contributed to something it was normally incapable of doing on its own. Adagio and her friends were dying. Sonata dusk crawled over to adagio as she wrapped her arms around her. She was weak and trembling.

“Sonata don’t touch me, you’ll be fine” Adagio trembles as well. Being a siren group of three they are linked to each others pain even without access to magic. Adagio had not heard a word from Aria this whole time. Nor did she feel any pain coming from her. She softly shoved Sonata away from her as she crawled over to Aria. Rolling her over so that she could see her eyes, they looked like a cloudy mess, bloodshot and lifeless. “No, no, no, not now not here!” Adagio said in a raspy voice but she was still obviously aggravated and angry.

“I want a taco~” Sonata groaned as she held her own chest. “Adagio, where did we go wrong?” she coughed as blood still came from her chest.

“You listened to me Sonata, I failed us again. Instead of just losing I caused us to perish…. I’m sorry.” she tried to reach for her friends but lost consciousness before being in able to do so…

Adagios eyes slowly opened and looked around.  Her vision was very blurry. She looked to her left where Aria still laid dead. She looked to her right only to be met with Sonata’s face whose eyes were also cloudy and dead. Adagio tried to let out a scream but she failed to do so. The internal injuries that were inflicted upon her caused her to be temporarily silent. She shakily got up off the ground. She stood on shaky knees but soon was standing straight. She wobbled out of the alley way she had no idea where she was going she just had to get out of there. She didn’t want to see her dead friends anymore. For she knew her turn was soon coming. Not far down the road a troubled young man was walking on an accidental collision course with Adagio. His name was Ron, his ego large. He was a student at Canterlot high, but unlike everyone else he was not there for the battle of the bands. This young man didn’t exactly really care for school activities, nor did he ever want to participate in them. this man was just an average teenage boy who thought he was to good for school.

Ron was on his way to a friends house unwillingly he would be taking part in something much bigger than his under minded self. Ron was about a block away from his destination when she came out slamming into him. The particular young women was Adagio. Ron had not been around school enough to recognize her. He had no idea who she was or what she had done.

"whoa, who are you?" he shoved her back slightly as he noticed her dress was soaked in blood. he didn't know whether it was her blood or the blood of another person.

"y...you have t...o help me!" Adagio crippled over onto her knees. she scrapped them hard against the ground drawing blood and cutting up her knee a bit.

"Excuse me miss! but what the hell is going on here?" he quickly rushed over putting his hands on her shoulders. he could see that this was her blood. He saw the blood leaking from a 2 to 3 inch hole in her chest. his eyes widened, "did someone shoot you?"

"i...i need help" she looked up into his eyes as her vision quickly faded and she passed out. Ron had no idea whether she was dead or alive. he had no idea what to do.

Ron brought her to his house that night. he had no idea why he had not brought her to the hospital, nor why he was not freaking out about a possible dead girl in his house. He should have been freaking out due to his families reputation in this town. His father a drunken ragging addict, and his mother being dead. He didn't exactly look like a prince charming goody two shoes.Ron uncomfortably sat in a chair the whole night, he couldn't use his bed because that's where Adagio was. Ron should have brought her to the hospital, he should have not taken matter into his own hands. He didn't know if he was scared he would be blamed for this dying lady, or that he saw something in her he had never seen before. All he did know is his life would change after tonight. He just had no idea how fast and how much it would.

Ron awoke that very dubious morning. His eyes slowly opening. He quickly noticed that Adagio was not in the bed anymore. His heart quickly kicked into high gear, beating a mile a second. His hands clenched on the arms of the chair. He was half out of his seat looking around when he heard a noise in the kitchen. Ron quickly shot out of his chair dashing for the noise. While turning a corner into the kitchen he smacked his face on a wall like a dimwitted child learning to walk. He close lined to the floor sliding across the floor. His eyes slowly opened after he stopped moving. when he opened his eyes he was face to face with Adagio his brown eyes looking into her Brilliant raspberry colored eyes. She reached out a  Pale apple green hand to him. She did not speak a word. Ron's eyes looked at her hand and then at her chest. His eyes widened The hole was gone, gone without a trace. Almost as if it had never actually been there. Ron's jaw dropped to the floor. He was rather dumbfounded. This girls was Dying last night and now she was fine. He eventually took her hand and she helped him to his stumbling feet. Once to his feet he looked back into those raspberry eyes.

"Are you alright?" she said in a rather monotone voice, "You seem distressed." She gave him a smirk that looked like she meant trouble.

"listen lady," Ron stumbled back hitting the fridge his hand up and in front of him. "Back... up....i don't want any trouble."

"I think your over reacting." she put her hands up in a calming matter "you should go lay down, before someone gets hurt."

"over reacting....I'm not overreacting you should be dead lady!" he backed up further away from her. he was distraught and seemed scared. regarding his family reputation Ron was rather different from his family. He couldn't hurt a fly.

"Just shut up you imbecile. If you just shut up and play along ill be out of your filthy hair before you know it." Adagio's condescending side started to show through as she was quickly showing frustration with him.

"get out of my hair you look like you cant even get out of your own hair." he said in a smart ass response. "get out of my house now. my father will be home soon and I'm almost certain you don't want to make him mad. Ron grabbed for a weapon quickly closing his eyes pointing it at her. He heard her walk closer as he fells her lower his arm grabbing his weapon.

"your going to kill me with a banana?" she said in a  questioning matter of confusion. Ron's eyes slowly opened his eyes to see her with one hand on her hip and the other holding the banana. She had this look on her face again. It was kind of cocky looking. It made Ron feel a little uncomfortable.

"well...I...um." he ponders trying to think of some kind of witty response. Though by the time he did his answer would be irrelevant. "well you see...I didn't exactly know what I was grabbing so..." he was cut off quickly as Adagio placed a finger on his lips. As if she was daunting him to not speak a word. She then removed her finger from his trembling lips. She slowly peeled the banana she was holding. she took one seamless bite and then slowly walked into another room. Ron was once again dumbfounded. He could not believe this lady just thought she could flaunt her ass around his house as if she owned the place. He was getting really infuriated.

He had but one solution to his problem. He had to make a phone call and he had to do it before miss big hair took complete control over his abode. The phone he used was a retarded flip phone that was red. He wasn't exactly rich. Ron furiously dialed in a number, putting the phone up to his ear to hear the dial tone. The phone rang about four time before finally someone picked up.

"Hello this is Thomas." the voice on the other end said in a tired tone.

"Hey...umm...tom...its me...Ron." he says in a quite voice

"Hey Ron, how's it hanging I didn't see you at the battle of the bands last night...Some really wicked shit happened bro!" Tom could be heard shuffling around in the background.

"Shut up Tom I don't care about after school activities you know that....I have much weirder thing happening right at home...right now...you need to get your ass over here" Ron peeks around the corner seeing adagio sitting on his couch reading the news paper. she appears to be reading the obituary. "you see Tom...There is a girl here" he whispers.

"Is she hot?" Tom quickly responds

"yes...Wait, that's not the point here...The point is She should be dead right now because she looked like she had been shot or something last night!" he rose his voice very loudly. Adagio looked in his Direction almost immediately. She stood up and started walking towards him. "You need to get here tom...quickly I cant talk because she is heading this way...BYE!" Ron quickly closed his phone and tossed it onto his couch. He put on a fake smile upon his face.

"what on Earth are you screaming about in here?" Adagio said walking in. Her hips where swaying slightly as she walked. Ron suddenly couldn't stop looking at her.

"screaming, I wasn't screaming...yeah no screaming in here." he was shuffling his feet very nervously.

I could have sworn I heard something." her eyes shuffle around the room as if she was confused.

"no , nothing is going on here. you probably are a little delusional after your traumatizing accident last night." he puts his hands on her back and starts leading her to the bed room. "you should lay down and get some rest."

"your right I should" she reluctantly lays down and is already drowsy looking. Ron then slowly backed out of the room. only to back into another room. This was going to be a crazy night.
