The Great Dream: Rare nightmare TGD: 3

Rarity did her best keeping the memories of her friends passing on deep inside her mind, out of thought. Rarity mostly worked on dresses pushing the thoughts deeper and deeper down, but she never knew there was someone watching her, keeping close eyes on her. That someone was Twilight.Twilight was worried about her remaining friends , but since Fluttershy was out of time Twilight knew she could focus her time on Rarity, to make sure she was ok.

It was a slow day for Rarity there was no one coming in to order a dress so she decided to make random and very nice seasonal dresses. After a few hours Rarity started to hear a noise. Thinking it was Opal she didn't pay much mind until she noticed that her cat Opal was sitting on the window seal in front of her. She looked back seeing a pile of fabric on the floor, thinking they just fell she went back to sewing her current dress.

"Hey Rarity!" Twilight said in a high tone scaring Rarity making her jump some.

"Oh Twilight..Hey" Rarity responded calming down rubbing her eyes.

"Sorry I scared you Rarity" Twilight apologized walking closer.

"It's ok Twilight, just let me know when you enter the store next time" Rarity said going back to sewing.Twilight watched Rarity for a while slowly getting board.

"So what kind of dress are you making" Twilight asked taking a closer look getting in Rarity's light.

"A dress for winter now please stop bugging me so I can finish it." Rarity said pushing Twilight back some. Twilight stepped away and looked around seeing the room was a mess. She smiled and decided to help clean up for Rarity. She then started picking up stuff on the floor, putting them on shelves and folding the fabric, but Twilight didn't see that she put one of the sewing machines on a high shelf very poorly. The room got very quiet as Rarity was sewing on the last few gems as Twilight watched. Rarity picked the dress off the table as she examined it closely making sure the dress was perfect. Rarity huffed to see that one of the gem's stitch was loose she then picked up a knife to cut the stitch to fix it but right when she did the sewing machine on the high shelf fell straight to the floor causing a loud bang causing Twilight and Rarity to jump but the knife Rarity was holding went trough the dress and cut her leg which was under it really deep.

"Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Rarity exclaimed dropping the dress holding the cut. Twilight tried to see what was wrong but Rarity was holding her leg close to her body.

"Rarity are you ok what happened" Twilight asked trying to look. Rarity turned showing the cut her blood dripping to the floor. Twilight's eyes went wide looking how much blood she was losing in a small amount of time.

"Stay here i'm going to go get a bandage" Twilight said running to get Rarity's First Aid kit. Rarity just watched as the blood dripped to the floor. Rarity was starting to get dizzy.

" T-Twilight hurry..I get faint at the sight of blood" Rarity said looking away from her leg. Twilight soon ran back with a bandage to wrap up her leg. Rarity winced at the pain as Twilight wrapped up her leg tightly with the bandage. Just in that moment Rarity fell to the floor light headed Twilight picked her up and put her down on the bed. After a few minutes Rarity woke up to Twilight trying to clean up the blood on the floor.

"Twilight don't worry about that we need to go to the hospital so I can get this hole sewn up" Rarity said getting up off the bed.

"It's my fault you're hurt Rarity i'm going to help clean up the blood" Twilight responded still wiping the blood up.

"Help me get the cut sewn up first Twilight" Rarity said taking the bloody rag away from Twilight who stood up looking at her.

"Can you walk on it" Twilight asked as Rarity stepped down on it but winced pulling it back up to her body shaking her head. Twilight then helped Rarity walk by putting most of her weight on Twilight's back. As they walked outside they noticed that the Pegasus ponies were moving in clouds for a storm.

"I thought they were going to do the storm tomorrow" Twilight said confused watching them fly around.

"No the storm was today tomorrow is going to be just wind" Rarity said watching them as well. Twilight started back walking with Rarity to the hospital.

"We might need to be quick about it then" Twilight said walking a little faster trying not to strain Rarity. They walked for a minute in silence all Rarity could worry about was how deep the cut was. Lost in thought Rarity didn't notice they walked right into the hospital and was greeted by Nurse Redheart who asked them what the problem was.

"Rarity had a little accident" Twilight said as Redheart walked around the counter taking a look at Rarity's leg.

"Ok follow me if you can and we shall get that looked at" Nurse Redheart said walking to the back as one mare from the waiting room watched them closely . As they got to a room Rarity was hoping that Nurse Redheart would numb her before she started sewing up the cut

"Well Rarity let me wash my hooves first then i'll sew up that nasty cut for you" Redheart said walking to a sink as Rarity gulped waiting for her to numb her leg first. Redheart walked back to Rarity holding a needle

"Rarity this shot will kill any infection that might be in the cut so you don't have to come back to get a check up" Nurse Redheart said taking the bandage off sticking the shot close to her cut.

"W-will it numb it to" Rarity asked feeling the pain somewhat vanish.

"Um no it shouldn't..why is your leg numb now" Redheart asked looking up at Rarity who shook her head. Redheart then took out a stitch kit and began to thread the needle.

"C-can you numb it first please" Rarity asked watching scared for the pain.

"I cannot i'm sorry. It would counter the shot i just gave you..But don't worry it won't hurt that bad" Nurse Redheart said. She then started to stitch up the cut as every time the needle went through her skin it hurt more then she knew she could hurt. After a moment  Redheart finished stitching the cut and started to wrap up her wound.

"There you go Rarity you can leave now" Redheart said calling Twilight back to the room. Rarity rubbed her leg as the pain was starting to come back

"If you feel like the stitch broke come back and i'll do it again alright" Redheart said washing her hooves again. Twilight walked back in looking at Rarity who was standing up by herself.

"You ready to go Rarity" Twilight asked walking over to her. Rarity nodded blinking slowly. Redheart started to walk them out of the hospital but once they hit the waiting room the mare looked up at them and growled at Redheart which caused her to lower her ears. The two friends said their goodbyes as Nurse Redheart waved smiling but as they left Redheart's smile vanished as the mare started yelling at her. Twilight and Rarity walking back to the boutique saw that the clouds were in place and saw that the one Pegasus was yelling around the town that the storm was starting as he shot through the clouds right when the rain started to pour down on top of the only two mares on the street. They ran as quick as they could. Twilight and Rarity had to get somewhere dry but the only place that was close was Sugar Cube Corner. With hesitation they went inside but it was dark and the place still had a hint of blood and desserts.

"Hold on i'm going to turn on the lights" Twilight said walking through the dark building to the basement as Rarity waited in a seat near the door. Rarity did not know that her cut has reopened and was bleeding more than it was before. After a few minutes has passed she got up and started to walk around, but Rarity stopped dead in her steps as she heard a giggle coming from the kitchen. Rarity knew Twilight didn't go into the kitchen she went into the backroom which was behind the checkout counter. She gulped and started to walk into the kitchen when she started to walk on something wet. When she looked down she saw a puddle of blood. Seeing the blood she backed away and followed the bloody hood prints with her eyes which were leading into the kitchen. Just as another giggle echos through the building the lights flicker on. Rarity looked up at them but when she looked down she noticed an old friend looking at her with the biggest smile on her face from the kitchen

"P-pinkie" Rarity questioned looking at her long passed away friend who was clearly breathing staring at her with bloodshot eyes.

"Hey Rarity you don't look to good what happen to you" Pinkie asked stepping out of the kitchen into the light her voice sounded strained and demented.

"I just cut myself..I'm better now" Rarity said taking a step back watching Pinkie as her breathing picked up

"Better?" Pinkie asked with a chuckle in her tone

"Y-Yea" Rarity responded rubbing her leg as pain shot through her. As she looked up she saw Pinkie was right in her face

"I'll make you think your better" Pinkie said laughing darkly. Rarity turned and ran for the door but Pinkie tripped her making Rarity hit her head on the floor which caused her ears to ring

'W-What do you want from me" Rarity asked trying to crawl away but Pinkie had a hard grip on her hind leg.

"I want you to stop trying to forget me.. I want you to remember me from the deepest memory and fall deep into your nightmare..A rare nightmare Rarity" Pinkie said pulling Rarity up by her ears

"L-let me go Pinkie" Rarity said trying to hit her. Rarity then suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hind leg which caused her to yell out.

"Ah yes that is the pain I wish to hear" Pinkie said ripping the knife out of Rarity's leg. Pinkie then put the knife to Rarity's cheek. Rarity tried to pull away put Pinkie wasn't listening to reason as she slowly stuck the knife into Rarity's mouth to where her mouth was held open by it. The sharp edge of the knife was put so was on her lower jaw. Rarity was scared out of her mind when Pinkie started to pick up rarity's head slowly. Pinkie then kicked the back of Rarity's head making her chin smash down on the floor making the knife jam between her teeth into her jaw causing some of her teeth to crack. Rarity tried to yell but the knife was preventing her from making any noise. Pinkie laughed as she grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled up on it which made Rarity's head go up with it

"well i think our time here is over done so.." Pinkie said gripping the knife hard as she pulled it out of Rarity's mouth it cutting her more also pulling a few teeth out with it. Rarity yelled in pain as the blood pooled under her. Before rarity could react Pinkie grabbed Rarity's head once more then twisting her head to the side sharply causing her neck to break. Rarity fell silent as Pinkie let go of her body. Pinkie only smiled as she watched the blood pool under Rarity.

"Rarity..Rarity are you ok" Nurse Redheart said Trying to wake her up. Rarity opened her eyes and jumped up grabbing her mouth looking around only seeing Nurse Redheart and Twilight looking at her very worried.

"W-What happen to me" Rarity said looking at the kitchen as Twilight blocked her view.

"When I turned on the lights on I heard you scream..so I ran back up to see you slice open your leg with a knife..You just kept repeating Pinkie told me to do it" Twilight said as Nurse redheart chimed in

"I ran here as quick as I could when Twilight called me..I stitched you back up as good as I could" Nurse Redheart said taking out a shot to give Rarity

"So it all was a dream" Rarity said rubbing her eyes. Redheart then gave Rarity another shot which made her whole body feel warm in a matter of seconds.

"Take her home she has to be in bed before this medicine takes full effect" Redheart said as Twilight quickly got Rarity up nodding. Twilight quickly walked off to get Rarity in bed as Nurse Redheart watched them for awhile. As the two friends got out of sight of her she stepped out into the rain and looked up into the sky.

"There it's done! leave me alone!" Nurse Redheart yelled looking at the sky still when suddenly a magic bolt shot through her back and out her chest. Redheart gasped slowly putting a hoof over her wound then slowly lifting up her hoof to where she could confirm that she was shot. A tear fell from her eye as her body turned to ash and blew away with the wind to never be seen again.

"Like the nurse said you must stay in bed" Twilight said looking at Rarity who was looking tired and very sick. Rarity tried to speak but all she did was cough up blood as it started to run out of her nose.

"Rarity!" Twilight yelled helping Rarity sit up as blood started to pour out of her mouth. Twilight could feel Rarity was getting cold and was starting to shake.

"I'm going to go get help Rarity" Twilight said rushing to get off the bed but Rarity stopped her.

"No..P-please stay with me" Rarity said knowing she wasn't going to make it even when the doctor got there. Twilight's eyes filled with tears as she held Rarity close her back being stained from her blood. The two friends held each other close for about 2 minutes before Rarity's grip around Twilight loosened. Twilight looked into Rarity's eyes which were dull and lifeless. She slowly put Rarity back down onto her bed as tears fell from her eyes onto her lifeless body.

"Goodbye Rarity..We will miss you" Twilight said getting off the bed to go get help.
