The Rasp

Twilight can't stop coughing. It's getting worse. I can hear it wreaking havoc on her lungs, and today she coughed up blood. She says her throat is pretty raw and I believe her, but this is getting scary. I'm thinking we might have to visit Canterlot General if this keeps up.

She tells me she doesn't need to go to the hospital for something like this. It's just a cold, but I don't think it is. She's looking paler. I mean, less purple, you know? Like a faded purple. I heard her early this morning, coughing from the kitchen. It's this raspy, guttery cough like she were a smoker, but there's this strange clicking sort of sound too. Like a long hiss (of a cough) with little clicks intermittent. I'm thinking I might have to go and visit Zecora, but I don't want to leave Twilight by herself. She's complaining more and more about a headache. She says it's right at the base of her horn, like a magic build up, but it doesn't feel the same. I don't know what she's talking about, but the more I hear, the more I want to see what Zecora has to say.

I tried to visit nurse Redheart, but there's a line around her building. I think there's somethin' going around.
