Chapter 2 - A Family That's Falling Apart

Previous Chapter

As the day came to it's end, Sterling shouted at her sister, constantly demanding her to get to bed. Gold Lilly just groaned and continued to moan. She simply stated that she refused to go to bed over and over again.

"But sis, it's Saturday tomorrow! We can sleep in!" Shouted Lilly to her older sister, who's face was filled with disagreement on the case.

"No! You know that isn't good for your health!" Shouted Sterling, her expression was not happy, and when she wasn't happy, Gold Lilly wasn't either. Its as if they shared the same emotions, as if they were connected by some sort of magical barrier.

As Sterling's face came closer to Gold Lilly, it turned into a stare. Lilly was terrified, that terrified that it brought back memories of her past.

She remembered the time that a male student tripped her up and sent her flying. She face planted the floor, leaving blood all over it for the cleaners to try to clean up. Unlucky for her that it was outside on the concrete ground too. That day she had broke her arm and her nose, and then twisted her wrist! Yet, the teachers did nothing about it exept say it was an accident. The two sisters belived that he should have at least been suspended for a few days for the amount of damage he had caused for them.

Coming back into reality, Sterling was still luring over her face. Terrified, Gold Lilly burst into tears and ran over to the stairs. Forgetting the stories that Sterling had told her in the past that the stairs can easily break, she ran towards them and then sprinted up the stairs. They creaked and shuddered, but surprisingly, they didn't break.

Sterling stared in shock but was snapped back into reality when she heard a loud slam of a door, making the entire unsturdy house shake. The ceiling started to slowly crumble, and bits of debris fell to the ground, some of them hitting the purple made on the head. She hissed through her teeth because of the amount of pain now on her head. Her mane was filled with dust and tiny bits of wood, giving her splinters. Then came a loud bang from the ceiling. Suddenly, the entire house started to shake and double the amount of wood fell from the ceiling this time.

Panicking, Sterling ran towards the entrance of the house, kicking down the wood from the door by using a karate kick and ran out of the slowly crumbling and stood atleast 50 centimetres away from it as she watched it go down in flames. Well, not exactly flames but, it pretty much collapsed.

Realising she had left Gold Lilly in the unstable building, she galloped towards the pile of ruins and debris inside of the house, as the walls were just as unstable as the house, but had not yet fallen down on the floor. She rummaged through the pile of wood, which could easily give you splinters, and  some things she recognised as her their stuffed animals which they had since they were little foals. She gasped at the sight of them, stuck under the rubbish the floors had left behind with huge rips across them.

Sterling thought to herself, I have to get them out, or Gold Lilly will be devastated as well as depressed! That's if she's still alive... A look of determination spread across her light purple face as she delved into the pile of thick wood. She hissed in pain whilst doing so, but she confined to try to free there plush toys.

After five minutes of trying to grab them, she finally brought her hooves out of the mess and two soft toys were in her presence. She smiled, but them exclaimed at the extreme pain coming from all of her fresh splinters, as she had lost a lot of her blood. But she didn't give up. Next on her list was to find her sister and return her to safety. No matter what it took, she knew her sister would no doubt need somepony to lend her a hoof, and none of the school kids or doctors and nurses could understand her pain and help her. For a matter of fact, she knew the times she was going through. She had suffered the same pain she had once before, and now she was in so much agony that she almost lost consciousness. She suddenly felt light headed and an agonising migraine hit her. The tall unicorn gasped and fell to the ground. All that could be heard was a loud ringing in her ears, and then she was  out like a light.

***

Many moons later, she woke up to the sound of beeping and pastel green walls. She was in a hospital. Suddenly, a long, continuous beeping noise was heard, and the doctor rushed into the room. He stared at her wide eyed, sighed and then said,

"Turn off the life support machine, she's gone..."

The purple unicorn stared at the man and shouted, "But I'm not dead!" then everything faded to black.

Sterling screamed in horror as her eyes shot open. She was in the ruins of their house. It was only just a dream. The multicoloured maned mare sighed in relief, but then the realisation hit her. She probly didn't have a lot of time till she passed out again, so she slowly got to her hooves and began to search the rest of the house. After twenty minutes of searching, she had found nothing and felt like she was going to fall to the floor and pass out once again. Many thought were rushing through her mind at that moment in time, but the main one was this, No, I must stay strong. For Gold Lillys life depends on it! If she's not already dead that is...Don't let those thoughts get to you Sterling! she lightly tapped her head with her hoof, meaning to slap herself but she knew if she did, that would be the last of her for a few days.

She sighed, signalling that she had lost all hope in finding her sister. But suddenly, she got a brilliant idea. I haven't checked the area surrounding our house!

But before she could be going anywhere, she fell to the floor and passed out once again. She seriously needed to see a doctor about this before she was completely drained of her blood and was left lifeless...
