I cry as I hold my Sunset’s lifeless body in my arms. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I look up to see Adagio by my side.Adagio said “You should see a doctor, you may be more injured than you think.” I was about to reply when Sunset’s body vanished in my arms. I cried more as I had to face the truth, that my friend was gone.

Sonata pulled to my feet and stared at me as she said “I can’t imagine what you're going through but your, our friend. You will get through this just let us help.” I felt them drag me to my feet. I leaned on them for support. Adagio’s expression forlorn, Sonata was on the verge of tears. Aria was seemingly composed. I was dragged alone the only sound I could here was the grunts from the Sirens. Sonata lowered me into the back of the car, then she sat beside me as Aria got in the front.

Adagio started the car, my mind flashed back to every party we had and all the times we spent together. I remember her standing strong for us when faced off against the Sirens. The considerate smile she showed for all of us. We made a music video with Crystal Prep, they were such good times. I felt the tears pouring out, my injuries are nothing compared to all the pain I felt in that moment. The world fell out from under me, I had never lost a friend before.

I looked up as I realised that we had arrived at Canterlot’s Public Hospital. I was carted into emergency. I didn’t even know why, all I remember was a doctor putting a needle into my arm. I wake only to find myself lying in the bed. I tried to sit only to feel a tremendous pain in my back. I lay back down gritting my teeth. I look out the window to see the moon. I see the Sirens enter the room, they all look at me. Sonata said “I’m sorry about this.”

I said “It’s my fault, not yours. Sunset would still be here if it wasn’t for me” as I tried to maintain my composure. Sonata walked over and gave me a light hug.

I looked into her eyes. She said “Don’t blame yourself, none of us could have predicted this.” I hear several voices outside, Irecognised one of the voices, it belonged to Applejack.

Eventually the voice stop and I see Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Rarity burst through the door. I look at them, confused. I don’t remember being out that long. Applejack asked “Are you alright, sugarcube? Ah don’t believe these 3, where is Sunset?”

I cried out “Sunset’s gone.” I burst into tears again. Despite the tears, I noticed Applejack’s eyes widened in response. I saw the angry look on Sonata’s face as she glared at Applejack.

I looked around with tears in my eyes. I realised Fluttershy wasn’t here. I knew she had been quite busy of late with animals but the fact she was not here. I asked trying to contain my tears “Where is Fluttershy?”

Rainbow Dash said “She was not there, we went to pick her up only to find there was no sign of her. She was nowhere on the premise. Her apartment was a mess though, like someone trashed it.”

I wiped my tears, I was extremely worried. I had already lost one friend today, I couldn’t bare to lose another friend. I shouted “We need to find her, what if she is hurt or injured?” I tried to pull myself out of the bed only for the pain to force me back down. I cried “I am really useless because of me, Sunset’s gone and now I am to weak to help Fluttershy.”

My friends sat there with the sirens in an almost eerie silence. I watch them as they stare at the other group for hours. I can’t handle the silence, I shouted as loud as I could, shocking both groups “Why are you just sitting there like that? We areno longer enemies, what is the problem?”

Applejack said “Ah just can’t trust them. Ah have strange feeling, I just can’t shake. They ain’t like us, they are at least 1000 years old and could be pulling some trick in order to get us to lower our guard.”

I frowned at her, only for shock to take over as the sirens spoke in unison “We don’t expect you to trust us straight away, after what we have done. We just want to be given a chance, you haven’t spent much time with us. You 4 have been spending time away from the group for quite a while. We haven’t had much time to interact with any of you.”

Rainbow Dash said “That’s because the four of us have been busy trying to figure out our relationships.” I watched as my four of my old friends stare in shock at the sirens who are not even slightly fazed at the statement. Rainbow Dash shouted “I demand answers, how do you three know?!”

Adagio said “I was told by Sunset and I told my sisters.” I watched Rarity mumble something. I noticed Twilight was incredibly uncomfortable, she wasn’t here for this incident.

I said “Girls, maybe you should end this conversation. Twilight has no idea what’s going on and feels alienated. I hope you haven’t forgotten Princess Twilight was there with us, not our world’s Twilight. I suggest you go out and give me some time alone. I will recover in time.”

Rainbow Dash was about to speak when Applejack put a finger over her lips and murmured something I couldn’t here. I watched as all 7 of my friends left, I rolled over and tried to sleep, hoping not to have nightmares about the incident.
