Twilight’s been stabbed
Twilight has been hurt badly so I have to get there fast. I’m not sure what happened but I did get word that she is badly injured.
I have to get to ponyville fast. I have to see her before it is to late.
========================================
I made it. I trot over to the desk and tell the pony there.
“Hi i’m here to see Twilight Sparkle, The princess of Friendship!”
She looks as me with suspicious eyes.
“Friends or family only”
“What! I am Twilight’s sister!”
She glares
“Don’t try to make me think your princess cadence”
“I’m not Princess Cadence, I am Twilight’s sister!”
“Twilight dosn’t have a sister, only a brother”
A few tears fall down my face. Nobody recognizes me as the sister of Twilight Sparkle.
I assume My brother and Cadence aren’t here yet, so I will have to wait until they get here. Everypony knows their related to Twilight. Heck! Even if Shining wasn’t related to Twilight he would still be known for two things. Being married to Cadence and being Captain of the royal guard.
I hear hoof steps as I look up to see Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. I run up to my brother, and hug him, he hugs me back. He asks
“Hi Midnight, why aren’t you in the room with Twilight?”
I replied
“They keep saying i’m A fan girl who wants to see her”
My brother smiled at me.
“Don’t worry I’ll get you in”
========================================
Me, Shining, and Cadence gallop into her room. We see all her friends croweded around her. I ask
“What happened?”
Rarity replied
“I don’t know darling, that is what they are trying to find out, all they found was multiple stab wounds”
A few tears roll down my cheek.
I wanted to know, who did it and why?
The ten of us watched looked at Twilight. (Yes 10 I assume you forgot about Spike or Flurry Heart or our main character for that matter)
The tears where flowing freely now.
A nurse walked in and said to us
“Visiting hours are up, please go home”
We all sighed and I said under my breath
“I hope you are ok Twilight”
I just realized I didn’t bring any bits and I can’t go all the way back to canterlot then come back here again.
I walked up to my brother.
“Shining, Cadence, where are you staying”
Cadence sighed
“Yes, you can stay with us”
“Thank you guys, where are you staying anyway?”
Shining Armor awkwardly said
“Umm I don’t know?”
Cadence chuckled
“We are staying in Twilight’s castle, she said whenever we are in ponyville we could stay there”
I would feel a bit uncomfortable staying in Twilight’s castle when she is in the hospital, but I have no where else to stay.
========================================
After we all found a room in the castle and put our stuff down we ate dinner.
Of corse we didn’t eat Twilight’s food. Me, Cadence, and Shining all split the money.
After that we went to bed.
I was just laying there, thinking, about Twilight. Who would attack her and why. The doctors told us all they know.
Pinkie and Twilight went to solve a friendship problem in Manehattan but when they came back Twilight was looking like she is now.
The investigation starts tommorow. I’m pretty sure they are going to question Pinkie, but she wounldn’t have done it. Wait, would she?
If she did, then, i’d Rather not think about it. No she didn’t do it.
I need to calm down.
One of Twilight’s friends would never do that.
I heard the sounds of a baby crying, I assume it’s from Flurry Heart.
Then I hear hoof steps probably Cadence or Shining armor.
I then calm down, and finally fall asleep.
========================================
I jolt awake. From a nightmare. The second time tonight. The last one was if Twilight dosn’t make It out alive, and this one was if Pinkie was the one who attacked Twilight.
Ugh, in the morning I should talk to Shining or Pinkie. Right now I have to get back to sleep.
=========+==============================
Finally, it’s morning.
I knocked on the door Shining and Cadence shared. Cadence called out
“Your brother went to the hospital to check on Twilight” I questioned
“Why? It’s 6 in the morning” Cadence chuckled
“He can be a little.. over protective of her” I giggled
“Just like he is with me” Cadence stepped out, giggling.
“And me” We both giggled. I kind of hated having an over protective brother AND sister. But we still had those moments.
I giggled a little at the thought
“How about we go check on her to?” I realized Cadence didn’t have Flurry Heart.
“Hey Cadence, dose Shining have Flurry Heart?” Cadence looked back into the room
“No, she is with Pinkie” I frowned
“Wheren’t they going to question her about you know” Cadence nodded
“That was pushed back a day” Then she chuckled
“They sent royal guard to make sure she dosn’t “try anything”” I laughed out loud.
“So they all think Pinkie did it?” By now i’ve Finally convinced myself Pinkie didn’t do it.
Cadence smiled
“Yup, she is starting to get pretty mad at them for following her everywhere, they told me they wheren’t even going to let her see Twilight until somepony proves it was somepony else”
I felt bad for her, she is friends with everyone but when Twilight gets hurt and she is the only suspect they all turn on her.
By now we where at the hospital.
We rushed in.
When we got into Twilight’s room we saw Shining there. Twilight was still there, but this time she was awake.
Shining practically yelled
“Twilight your awake!” Twilight weakly said
“Wha-what happened, where am I?” Shining quickly explained
“We are not sure what happened but Pinkie stabbed you when you where out solving a friendship problem and now your in the ponyville hospital” Cadence raised an eyebrow
“You think Pinkie did it?” Shining replied
“Well yea!” Twilight said almost to a yell
“Pinkie stabbed me!?” I rolled my eyes
“Of corse not, that is just what everyone thinks”
Twilight’s eyes widened
“Bring Pinkie in here NOW!” I sighed
“Someone else go, nobody will belive me when I tell them that Twilight wanted to see Pinkie”
Shining rushed out so fast I think he could have beaten Rainbow Dash in a race.
Me and Cadence turned toward Twilight.
She asked us.
“Why dose everyone think Pinkie stabbed me?”
Cadence sighed
“You and Pinkie went to solve a friendship problem in Manehattan” Twilightt interrupted
“Yeah, and after we solved it we had to stay an extra night, I remember falling asleep, but I don’t know what happened after that”
I finished the story.
“Then Pinkie brought you back here, that’s all we know, they are going to question Pinkie about what happened tommorow” Twilight sighed
I could tell she was trying to ignore the pain, she was biting her lip.
We all heard a bunch of hoof steps.
Then we saw Pinkie who was surrounded by four royal guards.
I assumed Shining stayed to take care of Flurry.
Pinkie’s hair was deflated. On of the royal guards pushed her
“Your victim wants to speak with you” Pinkie sighed
“For the last time I didn’t hurt Twilight” The guard yelled at her
“That is what they all say! Now go speak with her”
Twilight and Pinkie exchanged glances.
“Look, I don’t think it was you who stabbed me, but your the only person who was there, so I want to know what happened”
Pinkie’s hair inflated slightly.
“After we solved the friendship problem and went to bed I heard screams coming from your bed, I turned to my side to see what was happening but all I saw was a person in a black cloak stabbing you I got up to try and stop that person but then they turned to me, I saw their face but all I remember is that they flashed their horn and then I woke up on the floor next to your bed, but for some reason i can’t remember what that pony’s face looked like, come to think of it I can’t remember anything that happened that day”
Twilight slowly nodded. I assumed she was just processing the information.
I personally think this story is true, and the unicorn who did it put a sleep spell on her. Probably a spell that made her forget what happened to make sure she dosn’t tell anyone who tried to kill Twilight. And now that everypony is pressuring her into telling everypony what happened she is able to remember that specific moment.
Twilight said something similar to that. The royal guard firmly said
“She is still a suspect, but maybe we will get the element of honesty to fact check this story of yours”
Cadence sighed and frowned
“I have to go check on Shining and Flurry Heart”
She ran out of the room.
I walked closer to Twilight.
“Do you know anypony who could have done it?”
Twilight shook her head.
“No all we know is that they are a unicorn and they must know pretty advanced magic” I smiled
“Yea, not even I could put Pinkie to sleep”
Twilight chuckled at this, and she knew I was pretty good at magic.
“Me neither” We both chuckled at this.
I felt my smile turn into a frown.
“I’m sorry Twilight” She looked at me
“What?” I said again
“I’m sorry”
“For what” I sighed
“That this has to happen to you” She looked at me, with the most comforting eyes ever.
“It’s not like you where in Manehattan or anything” I sighed
“I was, I was there for business, I didn’t know you and Pinkie where in the same hotel as me until the next morning, and then i heard that you got stabbed there a few days after i just got home”
Twilight looked at me
“...”
I looked into her eyes
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you, if I just got out of bed and ran up a few flights of stairs or called somepony you wouldn’t be in this mess right now, I’m sorry I let this happen to you”
Twilight looked back into my eyes
“It’s not everyday you and your sister are in the same hotel at the same time, you couldn’t have known”
I sighed
“I know, but I can’t help but think, if I just woke myself up I could have stopped that pony or called some other pony to stop them and then you and Pinkie wouldn’t be suffering”
Twilight frowned
“Did you stab me?”
I was so confused, my sister was accusing me of trying to kill her. I replied with a quick
“No! Of corse not” She chuckled
“Then it’s not your fault”
Oh she wasn’t she was just trying to get me into thinking it wasn’t my fault, I get it.
I still feel like it’s my fault though. You know that tiny voice in the back of your head that tried to ruin your life. Well that voice keeps telling me
“It’s your fault, it’s you fault, it’s your fault”
and now I keep thinking that. At least I have a sister like Twilight who shit this voice up for a while.
But I don’t think she can help me forever.
