Dead Equestria

It was afternoon, and everyone inside the house are gathered at the kitchen, except Dinky, who was busy playing with some toys in the playroom.

“We can't stay here for too long” Amethyst said.

Derpy gave her a funny look “Why not?”

“Cause I'm starting to think those 'things' outside are no longer ponies” Amethyst took notice of Derpy's bewildered look she was giving her “Come to think about it. Most of them sport severe and grotesque injuries that i'm so surprised that they are still alive”

“I can't but agree with her. Last night, i saw a mare, her... One of her side was gone...” Thunderlane grimaced remembering the mare last night when he was with Roseluck last night “Come to think of it, did you find Roseluck?”

“Roseluck?” Amethyst parroted.

“Yeah, she went to my house, being chased by 'them'” he said “And yeah, she was with me too. She left me on the street where you find me to go and alert Princess Twilight, but she hasn't come back, or probably she did, only to find me missing”

“That's possible” Amethyst said “Now, the reason why i called you hear is because we can't stay here forever. We have to find place more safe than here”

“But those... Things are too many. I don't think there are any safe place left in town. Except for Sweet Apple Acres or Fluttershy's cottage” Derpy said, unsure whether her opinion is good. She was also hesitant to deponify the 'ponies'.

“You have a point, Derpy. The Apple Family and Fluttershy both live a lite distance away from Ponyville, they might probably aren't unaware of the panic which occurred early in the morning, ” Amethyst said “But I vote for School of Friendship since it's big enough to keep us safe”

“I concur to your opinion, Amethyst” Thunderlane said “There is also a chance that Princess Twilight went there instead”

Derpy, however doubted “I don't know. What if something was chasing them and able to follow them into the school?”

Amethyst gave her a look of perplexed look “Oh, come on. Do you think they'll easily fall to 'them'? We are just even a small group and we somehow manage to find shelter unscathed” she then look at Thunderlane, remembering his wings was wounded “Well, most of us”

“But i didn't mention we are going to have problems despite we Did find a good shelter, didn't i?” when she received no answer from the duo, she continued “We are going to need some medical supplies, food, and water. I can understand we can eat grass outside the school, but to me, it's just destroyed the art of the environment, and we can't simply just drink water from pond we didn't even know if it's magical or not”

“We understand, you've got your point” Thunderlane said.

“You should be. I'm not to blame if you guys turn crazy after drinking water from a magical lake” she was about to continue when they heard yelling outside.

“Do you heard that...?” Derpy said.

Thunderlane could hear not only one but two voices. He both recognize the voices and quickly stood up from his seat “It's Stormfeather and Blossom Flower! We need to open the front door now!” he rushed to the front door followed by Amethyst, and Derpy. The voices are much closer now, and they are able to make out the words as they began to move the furnitures out of the way.

“Come on, we just need to find a house, then i'll fix you out”

“Just leave me here, Stormfeather. I'm just a burden to you know. You have to put me down”

“Are you crazy? I wouldn't do such thing!” the trio heard someone knocking on the door from outside “Hey, anypony there? We need help, please” Thunderlane feel pity when he heard Stormfeather's voice. The latter was pleading for them to open the door.

“We will. Me and my friend just need to unbarricade the door!” he shouted.

“T-Thunderlane is that you” he heard Stormfeather chuckle out of relief “Thank goodness your safe! Be quick, 'they' are closing into us!” Thunderlane didn't bother to say a word as he hastily move furnitures out of the way. With the hell of Amethyst, and Derpy, they managed to remove all the furnitures. Thunderlane open the door and quickly pulls Stormfeather in with Blossom Heart laying on his back just in time for a suddenly to lunge at him. Thunderlane quickly shut the door, hitting the attacker's muzzle.

Stormfeather stood up “Please, she need medical attention” he said, referring to Blossom.

“Follow me. I'll lead you to a available bed” Amethyst said before turning to Thunderlane and Derpy “You two must barricade the door immediately”

Amethyst levitated Blossom to her bed, who appears to be sick. She glanced at Stormfeather “How long she was like this?”

“I-I don't know. Where she was perfectly fine when we met” Stormfeather stuttered, looking over at Blossom with a worried look.

“M-M-Medicine...” Blossom rasped out before coughing. She look very unhealthy, her coat was a little pale, there are bags under her eyes, and her cherry pink mane and tail disheveled, she also looks very tired, and half of her eyes are hidden by eyelids. Amethyst notice a suspicious bite mark on the earth pony's neck, the skin surrounding the bite mark are now red.

“We only got some bandages, and some medicine, but i don't what they are for” Amethyst said “I'm going to get them. I put them in a box in Dinky's room”

“Please don't be out for too long!” Stormfeather said. When Amethyst went out the room, he quickly went over Blossom “Blossom, please stay awake. I'm very worried of you”

Blossom looks at him with a pitiful look “Y-You don't have to save me...” she said.

“Do you think i would do that to a friend!?” Stormfeather said.

“Only when you realized why those 'things' keep multiplying...” She trailed off as she finally closed her eyes. Stormfeather notice this and began to panic.

“No! Don't close your eyes, please!”

Amethyst suddenly went inside the room, completely forgetting about the door being open. A box floating beside her “What's going on?”

“I-It's Blossom. S-She” Whatever Stormfeather was about to say was cut off by Blossom's angry yell.

“I'm not dead yet, Stormfeather!” she yelled in a rasped tone before resting her head on the pillow. Her breathing was forced as if she was loosing oxygen in her body, which was a big concern for her fellow survivors.

“Whoa, take it easy, Blossom. You need some rest!” Amethyst told her. The sick Blossom gave her a weak nod before she relaxed her body, her eyes shut, and her expression calm as if sleeping.

“How is she?” Amethyst turn to look at the stallion at the doorway.

“Finished barricading the front door, Thunderlane?” she asked.

“Yeah” he trained his eyes on Blossom “So, how's Blossom?”

“She's fine, but she's suffering from an infection” she pointed at the bite mark at Blossom's neck “If we couldn't prevent the infection from spreading, she will suffer symptoms of wound infection, and this includes the difficulty to sleep” she explained “Also, I'll honestly tell you the truth that i'm not a doctor or a nurse, I'm Ponyville's second best organizer” she added. She look back at wound “I'll start dressing the wound, you, and Stormfeather can go and relax”

When they went to the kitchen, Thunderlane decided to tell him the story how he was found by Amethyst, and all they have done together on a mission to reach his house to find Rumble, only to found the house empty.

“I hope he's alright” Stormfeather said “It's pretty harsh outside. I've seen a few foals... turning into one of those things”

“I'm so sorry to hear that” Thunderlane said.

“You don't had to be sorry. I really want to apologize to the foals since i made no attempt to help them” Stormfeather smiled at him “I must be the one to feel pity for you. You have a little brother to find, me? Nopony. My friends are already crazy when i found them, except for Blossom. I found her being munched on by somepony crazy enough to sink their teeth on her neck. Thank Celestia, i was able to reach her in time” he then glance at thr stairs before turning back to Thunderlane “So what's Amethyst's plan?”

“She's planning to move the group to the School of Friendship” Thunderlane lazily explained.

Stormfeather's eyes widened “Wait a minute, as in the prestigious School of Friendship owned by Princess Twilight?” Thunderlane casually nod as an answer to his question “I had not ever got any chance inside the school in my entire life. I heard that the school is really beautiful from the students” he moved closer to Thunderlane with a begging look “Count me and Blossom in your group, Thunderlane!”

“You should ask Amethyst since she's leading the group, besides, i saw no reason why she would say no to you” Thunderlane said.

Before Stormfeather could reply, Derpy approached, giving him a mug “Here's your coffee, Stormfeather” she said.

“Thanks” Stormfeather said. He then took a sip of his coffee. He put the mug on the table using his hoof and decided to talk with Thunderlane again “May i ask a question for you regarding all of the craziness happening outside?”

“Sure” Thunderlane see no problem answering somepony's questions. Ironically, it was Stormfeather who had a problem. He seemed very reluctant to, even looking behind him to hear Derpy gasp and see the latter spill ketchup on her grey coat. He gaze back at Thunderlane.

“Do you think this is some kind of work of an unknown disease?” he asked “I mean, I've seen everypony walking around casually in the previous, then suddenly, they all turned crazy as if Discord snapped his claws”

“I... don't know,” Thunderlane knew Stormfeather what he think. There was an outbreak in central Equestria with one small town, and two cities affected, rumors of violence spreading rapidly in said small town and the two cities, and the unexpected closure of the Wonderbolts Academy. Not to forget what was happening throughout Ponyville. He assumed everyone turning crazy and resorting to eating their neighbors spread like a wildfire, judging by how Ponyville currently look like in the 'aftermath' and high amount of 'ponies' that have chased him and Amethyst “I'm getting a bit uncomfortable discussing about outbreaks and what happening right now. Maybe we should talk about this later”

Stormfeather sighed in disappointment “Fine” he said “I'm going to go and check up on Blossom” he stood up from his chair and went upstairs.

“What were you, and Stormfeather, talking about?” Thunderlane turn his eyes away from the stairs to see Derpy, standing beside him, holding a tray of hay fries, and a bowl of ketchup using her mouth. She was talking in a slightly muffled voice.

“Its nothing, Derpy” he lied, thinking it's a good idea to not tell what he and Stormfeather are talking earlier.

“Okay” Derpy said, unconvinced, but not wanting to bother her friend further.

After he closed the door behind him, Stormfeather approached Amethyst Star, who was watching over a barely conscious Bloosom Flower. There earth pony's eyes are closed, but he could hear her humming a foal song.

“How is she Amethyst?” Stormfeather asked.

“No good. Getting a paler coat isn't really a good sign that she will heal soon” Amethyst said.

Stormfeather's eyes widened “Maybe it's just her coat. Being pale doesn't always means she'll pass away” he was actually trying to calm himself as his mind tell him to rush over to his friend and start begging for her not to die. He was breathing a little too fast, his face wore a anxious expression. Anxious for a friend's dying light becoming more thinner and thinner as time passes.

And as for Blossom, she was hyperventilating as she continued to sing in a rasped whispered voice.

“Wake up, little foal, the sun has rise up...”

“She's always singing that ever since she closed her eyes” Amethyst told him with worry in her eyes. Blossom was like singing in a loop, and didn't even try to stop. She wondered why the latter likes it? Maybe because this is the song her mother sang to her when she was just a filly, or maybe because of something else? She decided to stop thinking since the subject is personal, and it's not really connected to their current situation.

“Please tell me she'll be okay” Stormfeather said.

“She'll be okay if we had the right medicine for her” she told him “,but i tried everything, and nothing happens. It's only getting worse!”

"Y-You're kidding right?”

“Do i look like I'm kidding when i had this kind of face while there's a terribly sick pony laying an inch away from me!?” she snapped, her face inches away from Stormfeather's as their muzzles could almost touch each other “I'm as worried as you, Stormfeather!”

Before they could form a heated argument, a cough interrupted them “Please... don't fight before my passing” it was Blossom, who raised a hoof at them. Seeing this, Stormfeather went up and hugged her, barely holding his emotions as tears began to wet his face.

“Please don't go, you must not go” he begged “We will get through this, Blossom, I promise”

“Y-You must... accept-”

“No!” Stormfeather interrupted her “Most of my friends all went insane except for you, and Thunderlane! They tore Cherry to pieces, and they ate Barrel! I can't let them take you away from me too, f-from our friends. Why do you gave up so quickly!?”

“Stormfeather, your wailing won't help her. Leave her to be, and let her rest” Amethyst snapped at him “You had to calm yourself too, get rid of your worries, and try not to let your emotions overwhelm you!”

“You!” Stormfeather exclaimed, turning to look at her with anger “Don't you dare talk to me like that! I have to the rights to worry for my friend. Do you think you can order me around!?”

Amethyst scowled at him. Suddenly, she pushed him with her forelegs into the wall behind him “I didn't say i'm leading this group!” she said “I don't even know what is really happening to the ponies outside, I don't know why they start to cannibalize others. If i am the leader, then i have to know how to defend ourselves, and find a way to survive! I'm just taking care of the group for now because we don't have a leader yet!”

“You madmare!” he lashed at her, but he failed. Amethyst lit up her horn and her magic grab hold of Stormfeather's hoof.

“If wanted to hurt me then so be it!”

Thunderlane sat idly in the kitchen. Derpy had gone to peek from a window for some reason he would never know. He could hear voices. Voices from the past.

“Where are we going, brother?” a colt's voice asked. There was a long silence before he got a reply from a grown up.

“I'm going to ask you something” the older voice said.

“You can ask me all you want” the young voice replied.

“Do you like to picnic?” it was a simple question, yet the voice had a hint of cheerfulness behind it.

“P-P-Picnic?”

“Yes, Windy decided to arrange a picnic for the two of us at the park”

“Of course, I love picnic!” the younger voice said, now filled with enthusiasm.

“That's my Rumble!”

He was actually having a flashback of the first time Windy and Rumble spend time together. It was several years ago from now, but it was still fresh. Fresh because the colt in his heart was missing from him. He wondered what happened to Windy. Like him, the mare actually live in a thatched house instead living in a house in the sky.

His thoughts are interrupted when he heard the sound of breaking could be heard from the second floor. He look to see Derpy, walking upstairs, going to investigate. It didn't took her long when she returned.

“Thunderlane, you got to help me stop Amethyst and Stormfeather from fighting!” Thunderlane's eyes widened. Those two had just met and now they're fighting? They're going to attract more of those 'things' to the house! He quickly followed Dinky upstairs where they saw Amethyst throwing things with her magic at a angry Stormfeather. Dinky was watching the fight from her bedroom door, having heard the loud commotion.

Derpy quickly went for Stormfeather while Thunderlane went for Amethyst “Amethyst/Stormfeather stop!” they said in an almost perfect unison as they struggled to hold them back, trying to stop the fight “Amethyst stop!” he yelled “we got a filly here, remember?” his choice of words was able to stop Amethyst from struggling. Her rage slowly eased. She look at Thunderlane.

However, Stormfeather was too strong for Derpy to handle him. He pushed her aside and went straight for Amethyst, only for Thunderlane to block his way “Thunderlane, get out of my way!”

“Calm down, Stormfeather. You're going to attract more of those 'things' to the house!” he told him.

“As she doesn't try to boss me around like trying to shut me up!” Stormfeather said, earning a stink look from Amethyst.

“I didn't told you to shut up, Stormfeather. Your friend there just need some rest” she told him. Realization struck the pegasus. She didn't really boss him around, she was just concerned of Blossom's condition.

He look away from her in shame and muttered an apology “Sorry” he uttered. Amethyst didn't acknowledge him and left to tell Dinky to stay in her room. Stormfeather apologized, this time audible enough for Derpy, Thunderlane, Blossom, and Dinky to hear, but Amethyst continue to ignore him. He lowered his head after she went inside Dinky's door and slammed the door loudly, indicating she did not forgive him. Stormfeather lowered his head and let out a sad whinny. Thunderlane put a hoof to his shoulder. Stormfeather looked at him “I shouldn't have said that” he said. He turn tail and walk downstairs.

“I... I feel bad for them” Derpy said.

“We have to leave them for a moment, I'll and check on Blossom” Derpy nodded.

Thunderlane went inside the bedroom. He saw Blossom staring at the ceiling with a blank look “I head yelling and shouting nearby. Was that Stormfeather, and Amethyst?” she asked.

That question was too heavy for Thunderlane to either lie or tell the truth. He bit his mouth in hesitantion.

“I see” Blossom said “An embarrassing rumor is easy to spread, yet it's too hard
to answer a teacher's question” she turn her head at him “Despite not telling me what really happened, I will still tell you what I know of the outbreak”

Thunderlane approached her “What do you mean?”

“Thunderlane... promise you won't calling me crazy” she said. She then let out a cough which caused Thunderlane to stiff in alarm.

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye” he said, doing the pinkie promise. She look at him as if she want to ask what he was doing but decided to keep it in her mouth.

“I can take that as a yes” she said “Thunderlane... did you hurt somepony in the past?” she earned a look of confusion from the stallion.

“No,” he replied “but why did you brought that up?”

“T... Those ponies who want to eat us... aren't really ponies anymore” Thunderlane become more puzzled by this, but the next was shocking to him “T-They're corpses”

His eyes widened in disbelief “W-W-What was that? Did I hear that correctly?”

“...Look..., it's too hard to believe they're actually 'dead' but you have to believe me” she begged “I saw ponies dying and getting up before i met Stormfeather. It was terrible, but I couldn't do anything other than ran and abandon them, if I try to help, I will be caught by one of those monsters”

“I was soon attacked, and got bit. I was only alive because of Stormfeather” she coughed, her voice becoming a little rasp which is always a bad sign when someone is sick “I think a virus is responsible for all of this” she coughed again, this time she could felt something rising up from her bowel, yet she tried to speak to the only stallion who will possibly believe her.

“B-Blossom, are you okay?” he asked. Blossom stopped coughing, only to gag and vomit blood splattering it on the floor and hooves of his forelegs “Oh, Celestia... Amethyst, it's Blossom, she needs help!” he shouted. Blossom begin to scream in pure agony, which gave him more reason to panic.

Amethyst barged into the room, followed by an agitated Stormfeather, and a worried Derpy Hooves “Thunderlane, what happened to her!?” she immediately went to check on Blossom, as the mare gripped her chest.

“Please, do something!” Stormfeather yelled before putting his hooves over his head in panic “Oh, Celestia, please not Blossom!”

Watching the situation from the doorway, Derpy was stuck between panicking or cry. She knew she couldn't do anything for Blossom, but she didn't want to carry the guilt for just watching the poor sick mare die right infront of her eyes.

In Blossom's perspective, she knew she was going to die, but she also knew she wouldn't stay dead if her surviving friends don't do anything to stop it. She muster all of her remaining strength as she look as Thunderlane with a begging look “T-Thunderlane...” she started “G-Get the knife and end this!”

Thunderlane step back in horror, knowing what the mare is telling him to do “I-I can't do that!”

“Please, end my misery. Just stab me on the skull and all of you will be safe!” she let yelled in pain as she began to bleed from her eyes and her nose. Amethyst quickly put a tissue to her nose in an attempt to stop the bleeding as she mumbled about Canterlot ponies being so lucky to buy medics without any worries for wasting bits.

Stormfeather went up to his sick friend beside Amethyst “Please, don't go” he didn't want to loose another friend.

Blossom looked at him, her eyes half closed as her impending death is about to claim her “S-Stormfeather...” she moaned “please.....i want you to 'go' without me....” she reached out a hoof and grabbed Stormfeather's right forelegs “...They're...not ponies.... anymore.....” then she went limp, her one forehoof still attached to her friend's forelegs as he stared at her. Blossom Flower's eyes are closed, hidden by her eyelids, her chest was no longer moving. She was dead.

Realization went straight into Stormfeather as if an arrow pierced his heart “B-Blossom?” he start to shake her body as he feared the worst has happened “Blossom?” he then violently shook her as tears began to go out of his eyes “Blossom, please, please, answer me, please!” despite his determination to get a reply from his friend, she never responded. Stormfeather fell on his hunches and sobbed. It was a sad scenery for Amethyst, Thunderlane, and Derpy.

But they have no time for mourning as they heard banging, and moaning from the first floor before being following by glass shattering. Thunderlane stood up, panic evident in his expression “They're getting in!”

“No, they won't” Derpy told him “I've barricaded the windows while you and Amethyst are out”

No one said anything after that. They silently watched as Stormfeather mourned his friend his 12 minutes while Amethyst remove the blood from Blossom's face. Everyone stayed there until Stormfeather paused to order his friends “Please, leave me and Blossom alone” he told them “I want to be alone with her for a moment” everyone obeyed and silently walked out of the room, including Amethyst, who cautiosly shut the door.

“So,what now?” Thunderlane said “We can't just let Blossom stay inside the house”

“We'll have to bury her” Amethyst replied “all we have to do is sneak into the park and make make a grave, then bury her there. We have to do very quietly”

“But we'll do it later. 'Ponies' outside have heard the commotion” Amethyst added “and even if they haven't, who knows how many are they at the park?” Thunderlane nodded in agreement.

“I agree, however we can't let her body stay too long inside the house. It'll start to smell bad”

“I suppose we should tell Stormfeather about this” Derpy spoke up. She look at her two friends to see them with thinking deeply. She began to look around her surroundings for no reason other than nothing. She was very clueless, no knowledge of what really is happening, very afraid, confused, and locked inside a house, unable to use her two special appendages formed on her midsection: her wings, which is what every pegasus boast and proud of.

“She's right” Thunderlane spoke up “We should tell Stormfeather”

“I'm not thinking of getting permission from the stallion. His friend is gone and he knows what to do with the body”

“Look, this conversation is hopeless. We are just talking about the same problem over and over again, and we can't get a solution” Thunderlane wanted to end the conversation, knowing even if they get a solution, there are still risks they had to face. He stood up with a blank look to hide his emotions.

“Thunderlane, are you saying you have no plans to bury the body? We will all suffocate by the smell!” Amethyst protested, causing Derpy to cringe.

“I didn't say that we should abandon the body inside 'my' bedroom” Thunderlane said “We'll doing the burial later, then let's discuss about our plans to move to the School of Friendship” Amethyst and Derpy shook their head, putting the conversation to an end.

However, the silent peace only lasted less than a second when they heard a thud, a scream, and a growl upstairs. The trio glanced up at the ceiling.

“That can't be good” Amethyst muttered, making the first move before Thunderlane and Derpy. She stood up and quickly left the kitchen. Thunderlane and Derpy looked at each other before standing up and following Amethyst upstairs. They can finally understand the yell.

“B-Blossom, stop! You're hurting me!” Stormfeather was yelling at... Blossom Heart? This made Thunderlane and Derpy stop, however, Amethyst continued to run into the bedroom where Stormfeather is currently in as well as Blossom's corpse.

“Wait, didn't Blossom...” Derpy said, but didn't bother to continue her speech when Thunderlane went inside the bedroom “Hey, wait!”

Thunderlane stood in shock by what he was seeing.

On the right corner of the room is not-so-dead-afterall Blossom Heart, who was attempting to sink her teeth into Storm Feathers neck, who is pinned against the wall by his friend as he begged her to stop. Amethyst easily pried her off of him using her magic to levitate Blossom away from Stormfeather. However, Blossom turned on her and fell on top of her like a sack full of sugar. Amethyst groaned when she hit the wooden floor, she tried to push the earth pony mare in same way she did when she save Stormfeather, but this time, Blossom's grip was too strong.

“Urgh! Blossom, snap out of it!” Amethyst couldn't believe she was talking to somebody she thought was dead, but here she is, struggling with her 'patient'.

“Amethyst!” Thunderlane immediately went to her aid just in time for Derpy to witness the chaos. She heard a young feminine voice to her right. She glanced to see Dinky, walking towards her with tired eyes to investigate the commotion which woke her up. Derpy immediately walk up to her just as Thunderlane grab Blossom's head, covering the earth pony mare's vision with the frog of his hooves.

However, blocking Blossom's eyes didn't seem to affect her attempt to chomp down at Amethyst face. The unicorn mare's face contorted into grimace as she tried to avoid the jaws slowly making its way toward her head despite Thunderlane's attempts to pull the mare's head away from hers. Amethyst eyes widening in horror. This mare is about to eat her face!

“Thunderlane, hurry!” she yelled. Thunderlane responded by groaning as he used all his strength to lift Blossom away from her face. It was no use, Thunderlane is a pegasus while Blossom is a earth pony. Earth ponies are stronger than pegasi.

However, deus ex machina arrived in the form of a wooden drawer. The drawer struck Blossom's right cheek. Blossom fell off Amethyst's prone form and hit the wooden floor.

To Amethyst and Thunderlane surprise, Stormfeather, of all ponies helped them despite it was his friend who was attacking Amethyst. He had a look of pure anger in his face.

Just as Blossom stood up, the drawer was brought down at her, striking her head. Her muzzle hit the floor again but this time she didn't made an to stand up as the same drawer was brought down at her again, forming a cut on her head which is concealed by her mane. Stormfeather didn't seem to care or didn't notice it as he beat her with the peace of a furniture he got from the bedside table. He didn't know why he was doing this yet he's still doing it.

“Stay down, stay down, stay down!” he said as he repeatedly hit her with the drawer, which was slowly beating coated in blood every time it hit her now bleeding head.

“Sweet Celestia!” Amethyst gasped as she witness violence right before her eyes. She hadn't seen a pony act like this before, let alone Stormfeather, who is now bludgeoning his own friend.

Seeing Amthyst's distress, Thunderlane went to stop Stormfeather “Stormfeather, stop!” he grab hold one of Stormfeather's forelegs, ending the stallion's assault on his own former friend. Stormfeather slowly turn his head at him, his eyes as small as pinpricks. Stormfeather pulled him into a hug and cried silently to his chest. Looking past his shoulder, Thunderlane saw something that threaten him to lose his lunch.

Blossom was sprawled facedown at the floor, her forelegs and hindleg both splayed out. The back of her head was slightly caved in to her head with blood oozing out of the injury. He could see no movement nor breathing from the mare. She was dead.

And her blood is flowing at their direction.

Thunderlane cringed as he saw Blossom's blood touch one of Stormfeather's hindleg. He was able to drag his fellow pegasus and himself away from the red liquid before stopping beside Amethyst, who was staring at Blossom's corpse in shock.

“Mr. Thunderlane, big sister, what's-” a young voice was cut off when its source saw the body. Dinky somehow manage to pass by Derpy, only to see the now dead Blossom Heart. Like every other children who have knowledge about death, she let out a high pitch scream.
