*Day 100*

Twilight had stopped trying to communicate with anyone outside her cell. She was alone and she was just about giving up hope that someone would come and tell her that this was all a nightmare or some misunderstanding. Someone, anyone, would come. They had to know she would never kill someone. Her friends would stand by her and find out the real culprit and they all would move on from this. It was just one big misunderstanding.

*Flashback*

“Twilight? How could you do this?” Fluttershy asked brokenly.

Twilight was shocked. They though SHE had done this? “I didn’t. I was here for my weekly order and no one was around so I went looking and everyone was here. The colt, he’s really hurt. I did what I could but he needs a doctor. We have to hurry.”

*End Flashback*

A misunderstanding.

*Day 200*

*Flashback*

Twilight was headed towards ‘Quills and Sofas’ for her weekly shipment of quills and ink. She found it was easier to make sure the amount she needed could be provided without cleaning the entire shop out which she had her first few weeks of living in Ponyville. It wasn’t her fault that she was going through quills so quickly. She had a lot of papers and research and notes to take and inevitably that tended to use quite a few quills and tons of ink.

When she entered the shop it was rather quiet but that wasn’t unusual. Most only ever used the part of the store that sold quills and they tended not to use them at the same rate Twilight herself did. However, there was something about this silence that made the fur on the back of her neck stick up. She had the feeling that something was very wrong.

“Hello?” She called out cautiously. “Anypony here?”

*End Flashback*

She had started counting the bricks in the cell for the millionth time, or maybe the trillionth she wasn’t sure she had lost count of how many times she’d counted. She rubbed her fingers raw against the hard stone, maybe if she couldn’t study she could write instead.

*Day 1,000*

*Flashback*

“Despite being questioned thoroughly on multiple occasions you refuse to admit you’re wrong doing. If you are unable to speak the truth then there is no use to anyone speaking to you. During your imprisonment you are to have no visitors, no conversation. You will be kept alive but that is all the mercy you shall receive for your treachery.” Princess Luna declared with finality. “Take her away!”

*End Flashback*

No one was coming. No one was ever coming. She was alone. She was always going to be alone. The food stopped appearing some time ago. She wasn’t sure when but they stopped when it became clear she wouldn’t eat. That was okay though, she had lots more to write. Her own blood the ink she used to exercise her thoughts. There would be time later to eat.

Author's Note

For those of you who will probably say that Fluttershy is OOC I say this: Fluttershy isn't being cruel or at least not from the precpective of not wanting ANYONE harmed. She has shown in the show that she was willing to stand up to a dragon to protect her friends.

For those of you who will probably say that Rainbow Dash would never just betray her friends, again I refer you to the show where it has been shown that Rainbow often jumps to conclusions and has a hard time admitting she's wrong.
