Equestria Girls: The Homunculus
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterChapter 2
The bell rings and a mass of bodies pile through the halls of school. Push and shove where receive and giving back before reaching the exit. Shimmer wants to go home but the group decided to support Dash in today soccer practice since she was in a piss poor mood today. Sunset reach the bleachers on the back of the school to find the gang. Everyone was there, including the egghead. Sunset decided to take the chair furthest from Twilight. This did not go unnoticed but no one wanted to approach the subject.
Sunset never really played a sport before, so watching Dash play was always breath taking. She made any sport look so easy but there was something wrong. She was aggressive, more than usual. At one point she slams a girl to the ground. The game when on as normal. Practice was about to end when Dash notice she was one point down. She ran towards the girl with the ball and decided to steal it. Dash Slide foot first and accidentally twist the girl's feet. The girl fell to the grass, hands clutch to her feet, bawling her eyes out. Dash was visually nervous looking at the couch who had a furious expression. The girls quickly turn away, repulse by the way the girl's feet would twist and turn. Sunset on the other hand was mildly curious. She never seen a body part turn circle before. Even so, she feels bad this incident occurred. The game was over and they call an ambulance. The gang waited for Dash's return but they quickly realized that she was never coming out of the girl's locker room. Everyone, including the couch had gone home and the group decided to find dash. It was sad to find Dash sitting alone on the locker room. Easy to tell she had been crying for a while. Everyone approached to conform Dash, everyone except Sunset. It felt wrong to integrate herself upon a friendship that started well before she ever shows up in this world. That's right, Sunset never belong to this world in the first place. She always felt disconnected from everyone. What topic people talk, how they dress, how they act. It was all so different. Shimmer decide it was best to leave and silently walk out. Walking the empty halls, she hears Flash voice. It was strange, he would never be in school so late. Apparently, Twilight call him to come over and cheer up Dash. The idea of egghead talking to her boyfriend was enough to send here over the edge and she immediately began to bite his head off. The same argument over and over, and it always ended the same. He wanted a reason for her ever-growing contempt towards Twilight. Sunset pulls back and swat his hands when he tries to reach for her. Turning on the spot and walking away. He calls many but it felt on deaf ears. Utterly furious with the looming feeling of hopeless. She was in fact, alone in an alien world. She though Flash would understand but he could never truly know how she felt. It wasn't his fault, whenever he tries to approach the topic but Sunset would always shut it down. She had no one else to blame but herself and that's the part that suck's the most.
Home, if you could call an abandon apartment building a home. The paint maybe falling off and there was no water plus most of the time the electricity would shut down at random, it was still better than sleeping in the streets. She had mismatch furniture that gave the room a charming look and to top it up, she found an old black and white television. Things were starting to look up. She plugs her burner phone to charge, threw herself on the coach and turn on the tv. Picking up a brown book. Every day she would look through the pages of conversation she had with Princess Twilight. It's been awhile since Sunset last spoke to her. The last couple of conversation was Twilight repeatedly asking if I was ok and why I haven't responded. Sunset felt a little bad for making her worry but she felt worst for making her parents worry sick. They probably don't know I'm on another world. Homesick, that's one feeling she couldn't get rid of. Sunset put the book down and in the center of the room she began to draw a variety of symbols with a marker. Sunset may not be the most knowledgeable when it came to alchemy but how difficult could it be, she could do magic in her world. After hours of erasing and re-drawing all the symbols, she was done. All she needs now was to know what portals are made of or where to even search for it. Sunset began to hear noises, like clicking sound coming from her window. Multiple rocks flew and hit the glass. One broke through and a pile of glass landed on the floor. Sunset got mad and check who the hell was throwing rocks at her home. Sunset open the window to find the girls along with flash standing in the parking lot. Pinkie had a rock on her hand and quickly hid it but Shimmer saw her. "You could just call" Said Sunset.
"You're not picking up the phone" Pinkie Pie responded. "Can we come in?"
"No" Said sunset before closing the window. She could still hear Pinkie Pie say they're coming anyways. Hearing the hyper girl bang the door was annoying to say the least. Shimmer couldn't ignore them either, especially Pinkie Pie, she could knock on that door for days. Sunset grabs a blanket to cover the alchemy sketch and let the girls in. Most of them had never visited before. the atmosphere was tense and awkward. At less Dash was doing better. Twilight was the first to break the silent, questioning Shimmer attitude towards her. The conversation was civil at first but slowly each began to raise their voices. No matter who try to step into the argument they would just ignore them. Many words were thrown but not much was said. They would just go on circle. Sunset patience was wearing thin until she cares no more. Shoving Twilight who almost fell. The group quickly when to separated them but Twi was quicker. Running toward Sunset and pushing her as hard as she could. Shimmer trip and almost landed on the glass. Slashing her hand to prevent her face from getting cut. She got up with a death stare. The group of girls would stand in between the two. Twi was scare that she might accidentally hurt her friend. Sunset could end the argument right now but as petty as it might sound, she wanted revenge.
"Shimmer I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight" Said Twilight. She gasps when she saw the steady flow of blood coming from her hand. Sunset thought That Twi had cross the line and it was time for a reality check.
"You never think of anyone except yourself!" Responded Sunset. Twilight try to deny the claim but Shimmer continue to hammer the point. "You just don't understand how much I hate you right now"
"Really Sunset, then help me understand"
"You humiliated in front of the entire school, people still call me a she-demon to this day and not once you defended me, you try to turn "MY" friends against me when everyone though I was Anon-a-Miss and you wanted to steal my boyfriend!". Twilight shook her head and aid lies, all lies. Sunset stare at Twilight in the eye and though of the worst thing she could say "God, I wish you were death. No, you know what I want, is TO LEAVE THIS FUCKING WORLD AND GO HOME" Sunset yell. Covering her mouth when she realized what she said. She couldn't believe does word came from her mouth. Sure, she wanted to hurt Twilight but it didn't make her feel better. In fact, she felt worse. Her friends and Flash were looking at her differently, like a stranger. Before Sunset could say anything, she saw light emit from the ground. She was standing in the center of the room and the sheet on the floor were cover in blood. It took a couple seconds before grasping the danger she and her friends were in. It was a rebound. Sunset warn her friends but it was too late. The passage of time was unknown. She woke up in her home, alone. It was night, it must have been late because the moon was out. Pain travel her body as she lay soak on the floor. She tries to get up but couldn't. She screams when she looks at her arm or lack thereof. It was missing, you could see the meat and bone. Blood gush to form a puddle around her. Skins gone pale and her head was spinning. She tries to get up once more and call for help but she was too weak. Her eyes felt heavy and she let them close slowly. She knew that if she when to sleep, she would never wake up again.
