Maybe it was because she was tiered, maybe she just needed a break, but ever since she had got off the train, Twilight had felt a tingle in the back of her neck, like she was being watched. None of the other four mares she walked with seemed to have felt the same sensation, but Twilight did, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen, something bad.

Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie had all arrived in Canterlot a few minutes prior, after having been summoned for an important council meeting, which included all the important ponies in Equestria. This was the royal family, dukes, dutchesses, admirals, lieutenants, the council of friendship (or what remained of it) and many others.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the castle, guards bowing as they passed through each door, leading to the council chambers.
The group came across a set of light pink and lilac doors, which lead to a silver and gold decorated room. Most ponies where already there, and as Twilight sat down, she noticed that only the three seats in front of her were unoccupied. Who they belonged to, she had no idea, until the doors once again swung open and five ponies stepped through into the brightly lit room.

The one leading, was obviously in charge, with her golden coat, fiery orange mane and hazel eyes, complete with a hard expression; Captain Spitfire of the WonderBolts. Which only meant one thing, Rainbow Dash, who stood just to the left of her captain, wearing her flight suit and goggles, hanging loosely around her neck. Soarin stood to the right of the golden mare, wearing the same as his colleague.

They walked to the centre of the room and bowed before the sun and moon goddesses in front of them.
"My apologies for being late your highnesses," Spitfire said rising to her hooves, "Soarin, Rainbow Dash and I had to sort a problem out before we left."

Celestia nodded at them, her eyes lingering on the spectral pony in front of her, before moving on, "No matter Spitfire, better late than never." And she gestured for them to sit, as the other two ponies split up from them to stand by the door.

Unfortunately, the Wonder Bolt's seats where right in front of Twilight and her friends, giving them a perfect view of their former friend, who as she passed them, didn't spare them a glance. Seeing the mare again brought back bad memories from when they abandoned her and used the loyalty she gave them against her. After the way they had treated her, Rainbow Dash had left Ponyville and become a full time Wonder Bolt. They hadn't heard from her in two years, but they couldn't blame her, they knew that it had been wrong to treat her the way that they did, but by the time they realised this, it was too late, she was gone.

Twilight blinked, trying to get her bearings, as the Duke of Trottingham spoke about the increase in floods. She glanced around the room, not finding anything worth her time, until something caught her eye. The three ponies in front of her, seemed to be having a quiet argument about something.

Twilight payed no interest in them, as at that moment, she felt a tingling at the back of her skull again, as if the presence from the train station had followed her to the castle...

Hey guys I'm new to Fimfiction, but I also have a Wattapad account with the same name, so please go check me out. Comments any mistakes I might have made, and just any feedback you might have. I'm a pretty chilled back person so anything bad I can happily ignore and just carry on my life as usual.
Thanks a ton
