Princess Aurora
Chapter 12
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the days went on, Dash was finally able to walk around without bandages and her leg healed as well. Her feathers were now almost fully grown back, only the few primaries still needed more time. Everything was growing. The bonding between Dash and Twilight, Dashs feathers.. and her magic.
She often found herself pacing around in circles when she tried to get herself under control. She never slept in her own bed anymore. She was sleeping with Twilight, and Spike, in Twilights bedroom. Even though she felt safer with Twilight by her side, she Knew that Celestia was coming back to get her.
Right now was the middle of the night. Twilight and Spike were asleep for hours now, but Dash couldn't fall asleep anymore. All she did since she was in bed was staring outside through the window into the night sky.
Suddenly she had an image in her mind. She saw Celestia and guards. "You all know what to do. So go. Go and bring me back my daughter!" said Celestia and the guards flew into the sky.
Dash broke out of her trance. Celestia was going to send her guards to bring her back again.
She turned over to see Twilight still asleep. She looked so peaceful...
No. She couldn't wake her up.
She needed someone right now... She couldn't be alone right now... She..
'I want to die...'
...broke down in tears. She curled herself like a ball, trying to shield herself. She was shivering and sobbing as tears streamed down her face. She had to end this.. that's all her mind was telling her.
She got up and left the room, walking silent enough since she was a Pegasus. She walked into the kitchen. Searching for something sharp. Knives to be exact. She opened the cabinet she knew the knives where in from watching Spike in the kitchen while he was cooking.
She took one out and tested it, running it along her side.
Sharp? Not sharp at all. The knife fell on the floor.
She took the next one and tested it like the previous one.
Sharp? Nope. This one too fell on the floor.
She took another one and tested it like the other ones.
Sharp? SHARP!!! She shrieked and the knife hit the ground.
Dash started panting as she felt a great tearing pain in her side. Once again tears flowing down. Her legs shook and she let herself fall to the ground.
What she didn't know was that Spike had followed her. He woke up not a minute after Dash left because he was thirsty and wanted to get a glass of water. When he heard the clattering sound from the knives hitting the ground, he stayed covered. Just like Pegasi, Dragons could see in the dark pretty well. When he heard Dash scream, he went for the light switch. The lights went on and he ran up to Dash, who was barely conscious due to the blood loss and pain. The sight of blood running down her side made a cold feeling in his stomach.
"Dash! What's gotten into you?! Are you insane?!"
He didn't really know what to do right now. Then the front door slammed open. Spike, in a slight state of shock, turned to see Fluttershy running towards him. She stopped the second she saw Dash, something falling from her hoof to the floor.
"Oh, oh my, I hope I'm not too late!"
She covered her mouth with a hoof, not able to bear the sight of her friend.
"Spike, go and wake up Twilight! I'll try to stop the bleeding!"
Spike nodded and ran upstairs. Fluttershy began to cry. She ran into the bathroom and grabbed a few bandages. Pressing them down on the wound she got a bit surprised by a flash of purple light when Twilight appeared. She ran over to Dash, her horn and Dashs body began to glow in her purple aura as she casted a spell to stop the bleeding.
