A Glow Shines on the Fallen
Chapter 24: Hatred Stirs
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunset and her group of friends entered the school, Sunset growled and Applejack froze as they heard two words “Piggly Wiggly.”
Cozy looked around angrily “Okay who said that? That was supposed to be a secret.” Everyone around them was silent as a statue.
Gilda growled as brought up a page with a red and yellow silhouette of Sunset on it “It seems someone is trying to frame Sunset, look at this!”
Fluttershy and Rainbow’s eyes narrowed as they saw the picture of Sunset’s silhouette with the title Anon-A-Miss “We not going to let whoever this is frame a member of our family know are we girls!”
Applejack slumped “There can only be so many people who know that nickname, all of them are family. Which member of mah family could have done this?”
Wallflower placed a hand on Applejack’s shoulder “We’ll find out who did this and no mater what happens we’ll all be with you, we are a family and we stand together.”
Rarity nodded “I’ll do some digging around the rumour mill and…”
Pinkie grimaced “They made another post, look at this.” All of them grimaced as they saw a picture of Lightning Dust and Trixie, Pinkie growled “You don’t out someone like that, not everyone is so accepting of same sex relationships!”
Meanwhile in another hallway Lightning Dust was shaking tears in her eyes, Trixie standing beside her. Lightning Dust growled “Who could do such a thing! Why would they!”
Trixie hugged Lightning Dust “I don’t know but we will stand together.”
Just then over the intercom Principal Celestia spoke over the intercom “Lightning Dust, your father is awaiting you outside the front of the school.”
Lightning Dust and Trixie headed to the front of the school, her father a tall man with dark green skin and greying yellow hair was standing there. His eyes “So Lightning Dust, it’s true then. You are one of those freaks, I’ll give you one chance to give up on that nonsense!”
Lightning Dust snarled “Never!”
Her father growled “So be it but you are no longer welcome in my house! You can stay with that washed up magician of yours!” Lightning Dust bitterly stormed into the school.
At the same time Sunset was waiting for her maths teacher to arrive, she watched as Gilda had to break up a fight between Lyra and Octavia over something stupid. Gilda grimaced “This is just getting worse and worse.”
Sunset frowned “This is only one day and there have been ten fights as well as one person disowned by her family and the first period hasn’t started yet. This makes what I did in my darker days look like nothing. Seriously blackmail is one thing but this person is haphazardly posting secrets like no tommorow.”
Gilda frowned “We will find out who is doing this, let’s just hope we stop before someone is hurt beyond repair.”
Sunset grimaced “We need to keep an eye on Lightning Dust getting disowned can’t be easy.”
Gilda nodded “I’ll tell the girls, we’ll catch them I promise.”
The classes for the day were quiet until lunch, Apple Bloom was sitting on her own growling in the cafeteria. They hadn’t been able to separate Sunset Shimmer from her sister and her friends yet. A dark shadow was watching with glee (This is perfect, it’s been a long time since I’ve found such a hateful soul.)
Apple Bloom was internally fuming all had Anon-A-Miss had drawn the group closer to Sunset, she needed to destroy her. She left the room with anger in her eyes, she heard a voice as the shadow approached “I hear you are angry at Sunset Shimmer, if this little blog of your fails I can help you. I have a personal interest in seeing the destruction of Sunset Shimmer.”
Apple Bloom grinned at the shadow “Join me then and we’ll tear her apart one way or the other.”
Sunset was looking around the cafeteria, everyone was silently glaring at each other. Sunset stood up and shouted “Enough!” Everyone turned to her, Sunset growled “I am well aware of what I did to all of you but look at yourselves! You are tearing yourselves apart over some stupid rumours!”
Cozy stood beside her “Princess Twilight came here and restored friendship to this school. Are you willing to let this break everything apart she built.”
Gilda joined them “We are going to find this Anon-A-Miss and bring them down!”
Rarity stood up “We are all different but when united we can do anything!”
Rainbow closed her eyes“It hurt when I lost all my friends, I know many of you are angry and bitter. Some of you have been sending in secrets, you need to listen to your friends and make it up to them.”
Applejack stood up beside Rainbow “And to those who have been hurt that is not an excuse to abuse a remorseful friend. Forgiveness is a hard road as both sides need to put in a genuine effort to make it work but you will come out stronger friends because of it.”
Several groups cheered but some groups were not happy about it, there was still a great amount of anger and fury in the air. It would take the true identity of Anon-a-Miss to bring the hatred down, everyone remained blissfully unaware that the act of even one day of simple rumours could bring two people’s lives crumbling down.
