Good news

I found the rest of what I got

Chapter 15

"Right..."

Spike joined the two, a tablet with breakfast on it.
"Hey Dash! Good to see you awake."

He placed the tablet in front of the Pegasus on the bed. All he got was another confused look.
"Come on, you Have to eat Something!"

It wasn't that she didn't Want to eat. She just didn't feel like it. But she knew that she wouldn't come through that without a fight with Twilight or Spike. Or both. But probably with Twilight.

"Come on Dash, it's just a slice of toast!" Spike continued.

Dash stared at the tablet.

And stared...

...and stared...

And after a minute she still didn't move. Defeated, she sighed, closed her eyes and let herself fall back into the bed. Twilight and Spike shared worried and confused glances. Spike, standing next to her, grabbed the toast and ripped a small peace off of it and held in in front of Dashs face.

"Come on, try it. I'm not a bad cook, you know."

Dash turned away from him.
'Why won't you get that I don't want it?'

Spike sighed and put it back on the tablet. He turned to Twilight.
"Got any ideas?"

Twilight thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"I have to research on it."

Dashs ears perked up.
'No! Don't leave me again!'

Spike placed the tablet on the nightstand and left. When Twilight was going to leave too, Dash called out for her.

"Twilight! Please stay.."
The alicorn turned around, of course, looking confused at Dash, who was now sitting on the bed.

"You need something?"

"I don't want to be alone.."
Twilight gave her an odd look, but then she smiled. It Was kinda cute.
No, bad Twilight! You're just causing her magic to-

*Twitch*

"Sorry.."

"It's fine." She said, slightly shivering.
Twilight joined her on the bed. Still, there were questions on her mind, as she looked at Dashs almost completely healed wings.

"Hey Dash?"

"Yeah?"

"How come your wings healed so fast?"

"Twi, I'm a Pegasus. We can regrow our feathers pretty fast."

"Wow, I didn't know that. My books didn't say anything about that. Though, they didn't say anything about a Princess Aurora, alias Celestias daughter too."
Dash chuckled a bit.

"You're such an egghead. There are things out there that no pony ever wrote down on a simple book."

A pause.
"Really?"

"Of course! Like the Sonic Rainboom. There isn't any book you can find something about it."

"Hey.. you're actually right. If I think about it, nothing of you got ever mentioned in any book I've read.. And neither is your father."

At the mentioning of her dad, Dash looked away again.

"Celestia told me he cared for you after you ran away and passed away long ago.."
Dash frowned.

"I don't care what she told you! Why do you believe her?!"

"Right.. care to tell me the truth?"

"Fine. Some of it is true. I lived with him after I ran away. But don't think it was easy. Mum didn't want that I stayed with him outside where everypony could see me. But he didn't want me to live caged in the castle. He wanted me to have a life of a normal filly. I ran away after they first took the magic out off me. And trust me, it was Tartarus back then. I still know where the burning marks were."

Twilights eyes widened. She didn't want to imagine what happened all those years ago, to a little filly. It must have been traumatizing. Now she understood why Dash had those attacks.

"So I flew away to dads house. Followed by Celestia and some guards. They had a fight. She told him I was dangerous. He never believed her. They had to make a deal. If anything happened with my magic, he had to bring me back to the castle and never take me away again. Everything was fine. Since I was little back then, my magic took way longer to regenerate. Everything was perfect.. and then came the day I did that damn Sonic Rainboom. You know.. it's actually some kind of Aura Storm, produced by my magic... After Celestia saw it she came back and took me away from dad. That was the last time I saw him alive."

Twilight wrapped a wing around the Pegasus.

"Remember that they took my magic before I flew away?"

Twilight nodded.

"Celestia used it. She killed him. Just to show me that my magic was dangerous."

"Wait... how can she kill him with your magic? What abilities do I not know yet?!"

"Calm down. I can do nothing of the sort. She used the thing you watched me do in the secret training room with the bunny. She made him fall off the cloud without doing anything to save himself. And since she didn't have to touch him, ponies just presumed it as suicide or apoplexy. No pony could have seen the magic, so there were no proves that it was her. The only reason I knew it was her was that I know how it looks like. And I doubt you could put a princess into jail."

"Oh Dash, that's horrible!"

Dash said nothing. Twilight was crying.
Way to start the day...
