Living in a Shadow
Stop blaming Pinkie
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI know I was blaming Pinkie before, but I’ve seen her and I can tell that she isn’t lying. Yet everyone who isn’t her friend or family thinks she did it.
Except Rainbow Dash, I honestly have no idea why Rainbow thinks Pinkie did it.
It makes no sense.
Anyway, they started interrogating Pinkie. By they I mean the royal guard.
Sure they seem useless but when there are things that don’t involve the entirety of Equestria for example this, attempted murder they act like... What are they called. Oh yeah they act like police officers.
Pinkie hasn’t come out yet, I have no comparison to what she must feel like.
On the bright side Twilight is getting better (sort of) I mean not really. But yeah you know.
Things have been ok. They aren’t getting much better, but aren’t getting worse ether.
When ever I’m walking around all I hear is people talking about what happened. Most of the time people are says stuff like “I wonder why Pinkie did it” Or “Pinkie Pie needs to pay for what she has done!” Every time I wanna yell at them “Stop blaming Pinkie!” But I can’t.
I can’t just yell at random ponies.
I was thinking of moving to ponyville. Right now i’m just going to be staying for a few months probably, most likely until Twilight gets better.
========================================
They finished interrogating Pinkie. They found her guilty, I don’t understand. I know she is not guilty, Twilight knows she isn’t guilty.
For whatever reason Rainbow keeps believing this lie. Surprising honestly, the element of loyalty betraying one of her best friends.
The saddest thing is that Shining armor is running this. He was the one interrogating Pinkie.
Pinkie has to go to jail, Twilight still dosn’t know. That is what i’m most nervous about, what is Twilight going to say about that.
We saw Pinkie being taken away, we waved our goodbyes. I don’t know if it is just me but I am determined to prove the royal guard wrong. Especially my brother who just betrayed us more than Rainbow did.
I mean Rainbow thought that Pinkie did try to murder Twilight, that’s bad enough, but my own brother just sent Pinkie to jail.
I didn’t hear how long, I don’t want to know. Shining wasn’t even done speaking and I ran away crying. Now just for Pinkie but for Twilight.
If I just got up on that bucking night than Pinkie and Twilight woulnd’t Be suffering.
I ran to the hospital and ran past the desk, I remembered what room Twilight was in at this point. They called security.
I ran into Twilight’s room.
The security got in.
“Sorry ma’am but only friends and family are allowed to see her”
Twilight almost yelled over them
“She is my sister, now let her come in here”
The security was taken aback by her harsh words.
Twilight noticed the tears streaming down my cheeks.
“What happened? Is Pinkie ok?” I sobbed but somehow I said the words.
“They found her guilty, and sent her to jail, i’m Sorry i had to be the one to tell you this”
Twilight’s face told me she was heartbroken. The
tears dropped down.
“W-why, why did some dumb royal guard memeber somehow find her guilty”
I forgot to tell her the worst part.
“Shining was the one who interrogated Pinkie”
Twilight sobbed even harder.
“Now I feel betrayed, by my own brother to” I sobbed
“Me too”
We both sat there crying for the loss of Our brother, and our friend. More Twilight’s friend than mine, but I mean come on Pinkie was EVERYPONY’S friend.
Well I guess not anymore.
I just don’t know why or how Shining Armor of all ponies would find her guilty, he knows Pinkie Pie, he knows she is probably the nicest pony ever.
Ok maybe that was a little exaggerated but she would never try to murder somepony.
Ugh I don’t know, I’ll ask Shining Armor in the morning. I just need to sleep, i’m so tired.
========================================
“Shining, how the buck did you find Pinkie guilty!?”
His eyes thinned
“I’ve gotten every little part of her story, and it dosn’t check out”
“What part of it?”
Shining slammed his hooves on the dining room table.
“The part where Pinkie said that the unicorn doing it make her fall asleep and forget most of what happened with one flash of their horn” I rolled my eyes
“There are multiple spells that do that tell me the real reason”
He smiled deviously
“That requires dark magic, only select ponies including only alicorns and their relatives”
I rolled my eyes again.
“What if the person who did do it broke into where they kept dark magic spells”
“I keep more guards there than with the princess, her story dosn’t check out”
“Shouldn’t you have just as many if not more with the princesses”
“You know, even if the unicorn who Pinkie says did it some how got ahold of dark magic and did what Pinkie says they did then she probably would have some side effects, being exposed to dark magic and all”
That- that is true! Just one problem is that they would need evidence that she did it and not some other pony.
I still don’t think Pinkie did it.
I get up from the table.
“I will prove you wrong Shining, I will”
Whatever, I will do whatever it takes to bring Pinkie back, as long as I get to be famous like my brother and sister, I-I mean help Twilight feel better and stuff.
========================================
“Twilight”
I run into the hospital room, they’ve finally started letting me in without Shining or Cadence.
“Yeah?”
“If Pinkie’s story is true so you have any reason why Pinkie wouldn’t have side effects for being exposed to dark magic?”
Twilight frowned
“Why?”
“Shining is trying to prove Pinkie’s story wrong, he is saying that she would have side effects for being exposed to dark magic, this makes sense but since your the magic expert I thought maybe you would know of any reason why she wouldn’t have side effects”
Twilight looked at me.
“I don’t know.....”
I sighed
“Well than I guess Pinkie’s story isn’t true”
I looked over at Twilight and saw her eyes where wide and she was staring right at me.
“Is every thing ok twilight?”
“No, no, no, no, no”
“Twilight! What’s wrong”
She started hyperventilating
“I just thought of a reason, but it would be very unlikely”
I almost yelled
“What is it!”
“If an earth pony or Pegasus gets exposed too to much dark magic it came have worse effects than if a unicorn gets exposed to too much dark magic, this makes sense because they have nothing to manipulate magic with”
“Ok, so?”
“Sometimes if a Pegasus or Earth pony gets so much dark magic that it gets out of hoof, then the dark magic can take control of them and they can only be brought back to normal with the help of somepony else, of corse this can also happen to Unicorns or Alicorns but it takes a lot more magic”
I frowned
“Sooooo?”
She frowned back.
“Her story may not be true, but it may have not been her ether, it could have been dark magic taking over her body, and now she has no control”
I thought about it for a moment. It seems possible, but we will have to prove it.
I smiled weakly.
“If that did happen how could we prove it”
She frowned
“There is a book in my library called “Dark magic and defenses” go to it and bring it back here” I nodded, whilst writing it down on a paper.
I galloper faster than Rainbow Dash, or that is what I though until I saw her fly past me at least 10 times my speed.
Nevertheless I got the book and sped back to the hospital. Out of breath I handed it to her.
“Is that the right one?”
Her horn wasn’t hurt so she easily picked it up and flipped through many pages.
“Yes, now it is on page 47, after you master the spell come to me and we can think of a plan to get you to Pinkie”
I knew mastering a spell could take days to weeks, I knew more spells than the average unicorn, but I wasn’t like Twilight where I could do a spell right by reading through it once.
I was ready to do anything for fame, I mean to help Pinkie.
