Sunset’s bedroom
Date: the next day, time: morning

*Sunset’s perspective*

The sun shone through Sunset’s large window that overlooked the courtyard. Sunset sprang up and ran down her stairs to the desk under her bed. Grabbing a ‘notepad’ and ‘pencil’, as they’re called, Sunset began going through the basics of drawing and tried to translate it through her hands. This is a lot easier with telekinesis. Sunset was finding circles to be the most challenging to relearn. This is going to take a while.

Sunset heard a knock at her door. Before she could get up to answer it, a tiny gray blur rushed up to her bed before rushing back down to her desk.

“Red Red Red!”, the Emi creature’s excited voice chimed.

“Emi Emi Emi!”, Sunset said, mimicking the Emi creature.

“Play play play!”, the Emi creature said while pulling Sunset’s arm.

‘Play’ was one of the words the Brigid creature specifically taught Sunset. Probably figured I’d be hearing it a lot.

The Emi creature dragged Sunset to her wardrobe, to get a front opening hoodie, then out to the courtyard and grabbed hold of her fetlocks. The Emi creature motioned for Sunset to do the same. The Emi creature then began to spin Sunset. Sunset began to spin under her own power, picking up speed until the Emi creature’s back legs left the ground. The giggles and other excited sounds let Sunset know that she was playing this game correctly. After a while, the two switched to chasing each other.

After an hour or two, the two of them sat on the porch swing, exhausted.

“I didn’t think it was physically possible for you to get tired.”, Sunset said in Ponish. She knew the Emi creature wouldn’t understand her, but it was still nice to talk.

-

“I love you, Red.”, the Emi creature said.

Sunset didn’t know what the words meant, but the way the Emi creature said it and the energy she’s giving off gave Sunset a happy feeling.

The two of them stayed out there until the Brigid creature came out. When she did, she said something in a way that made her sound annoyed, but the Emi creature was laughing. Sunset was confused by this, but trusted the Emi creature to know how to react. The Brigid creature gestured for them to come inside. The smell of food alerted Sunset as to why.

As Sunset approached her seat, she saw her back bag, as she’s come to call it, on the back of her chair. Sunset looked inside to find some of the books and her stuffed phoenix the Brigid creature got for her, along with some snacks and those ‘water bottles’. Looks like we’re going out for a while.


The town’s college
Date: same day, time: morning

*Sunset’s perspective*

Like yesterday, the Brigid creature dropped the Anzhong creature off at what Sunset assumed to be his work, but unlike yesterday the Emi creature got dropped off at the house across the black path from the nice family’s.

The Brigid creature brought Sunset to a building that resembled the colleges back in Canterlot. The Brigid creature brought her to an office. I guess this must be her office. The Brigid creature set Sunset’s stuff up on her desk. After that she took Sunset to a classroom that confirmed her suspicions about this place being a college. The last room the Brigid creature brought her to is what they call a ‘restroom’. The Brigid creature brought Sunset back to her office, and the Brigid creature left for her classroom.


The Brigid creature’s office
Date: same day, time: hours after the Brigid creature left

*Sunset’s perspective*

There was a knock at the office door. It’s not the Brigid creature. - How did I know that, and what is that? Hearing the creature speak confirmed her to be right. When Sunset heard the door open, she bolted for underneath the desk. Sunset heard the new creature enter the room and say that conversation starter they always say. The new creature walked over to the desk and started rummaging through the stuff on it while talking. Just be quiet. You’re not here. It’s not here. Just be quiet. You’re not here. It’s not here. The creature stopped rummaging and began walking around the room. After walking around the entirety of the office, the creature came back over to the desk. Sunset held her breath. The creature’s head popped down from above the desk. Sunset screamed as the creature reached for her. The creature pulled Sunset out from under the desk and hoisted her to its chest. Sunset struggled, screamed “NO NO NO!”, and tried to escape, but the creature was too strong. Sunset was pinned to its chest with no way to escape. The creature began moving to the door. This thing is going to take me! It’s going to kill me! Sunset needed help. She wanted so badly for her mom to come crashing through the window, subdue the enemy, and save the hostage like she told Sunset in her griffon separatists war stories. “BRIGID!”


Dr. Katon’s class room
Date: Oct 22nd, time: 10:15 am

*Brigid’s perspective*

Brigid was in the middle of a lecture when a feeling of absolute dread came over her. Brigid never felt anything like it before. Something in her that she hadn’t realized was there before now completely consumed her, but she somehow knew exactly what it meant.

“Excuse me f’r a moment, class.” Brigid exited through one of the side doors and entered the halls that led to her office then immediately started running at full speed.

Brigid was just down the hall to her office within minutes. That’s when she heard her name being screamed. RED! Somehow she began running faster. When she got to her office, she saw Little Red being manhandled by a security guard.

“‘HAT IN BLOODY HELL R’ YOU DOING!”, Brigid shouted with the full force of her booming voice.

“Dr. Katon, I found-”, the skinny security guard tried to get out.

“LET ‘ER GO BEFORE I COME OVE’ THERE AND TIE YOU INTA A PESTLE!”, she shouted, not caring what the fool had to say.

The guard put Red down, and she ran to Brigid. Brigid scooped up the crying and scared little girl. Looking back up to the guard, Brigid didn’t see any fear, embarrassment, shame, or anything other than mild annoyance in his face. Does he not realize what he did? Is he seriously annoyed by a crying, scared kid, a kid he scared? Brigid’s face was now as red as her hair.

“As I was saying ma’am. I found this child in your office, and I was just escorting her off campus.”, the guard said as if he was (badly) trying to reason with someone throwing a tantrum.

“Get, out.”, Brigid said coldly while pointing to the door “If Ah eve’ sees ya in ma office again, Ah will make good on ma threat a’ tyin’ ya inta a pestle.”

The guard didn’t say anything and just left with no emotion on his face.

Brigid took Red over to her chair and began rocking her. “Ah’m sorry kid. Ah would sing, but Ah don’t wanna traumatize ya more. Don’t worry, Ah’ll make sure on one eve’ touches ya again. ‘Hat’s a promise.”


Nice family’s carriage
Date: same day, time: nighttime

*Sunset’s perspective*

Sunset didn’t speak for the rest of the day. The events of the day and that - odd feeling - the creature gave off disturbed her. That creature radiated pure evil. Sunset never felt anything like it before. The creature also lacked something that every other one of the creatures had. Sunset couldn’t tell if this was something all members of this species have or if it’s just her, but she seems to be able to feel the other creatures’ auras. She’d heard of spells that allowed unicorns to see auras, she knew a couple herself, but this was not a spell. It’s more innate, like earth ponies’ magic. Sunset first noticed this ability after a moon of being here, but it’s been getting stronger since.

Before they left the college, the Brigid creature went to talk with other creatures wearing the same uniform as the creature from earlier. She wished she knew enough ‘English’ to tell them right there and then.

After they picked the Anzhong creature up, the Brigid creature began to tell the Anzhong creature something. In their conversation, Sunset recognized the word that was written on the creature’s uniform, ‘security’. The expression on the Anzhong creature’s face told Sunset that the story angered him. The Anzhong creature turned around in his seat, rubbed Sunset’s hock, and gave her a gesture that implied strength or protection then pointed to his heart and then to Sunset. He’s saying he’ll protect me, and he loves me.

Sunset smiled. Sunset gave a closer look at the two other creatures in the carriage. The Brigid creature is very big. She’s tall, broad shouldered, and has enough muscle to make a royal guard jealous. Her mane’s the same color as the water carriages the fireponies use back home and is also very curly. Her eyes are also as blue as water. Almost as if she was modeled after a water carriage. The Brigid creature’s face has a lot of freckles. Her clothing was also very brightly colored with a lot of reds, oranges, and whites. Her body also has a lot of colorful markings on it. The Anzhong creature is a lot shorter than the other male creatures and skinnier too. However, he was still well muscled. His mane’s a dark blue and straight. Sunset rarely got to see his eyes, but they are a gray toned amber and strangely cat-like. His clothing consists of blacks, blues, and other dark colors. Thinking back to the Emi creature, it has a blue mane like its father and curly locks like its mother. Its eyes are amber but without the gray tone. Its face has about half as many freckles as its mother’s. Sunset wished she knew the Emi creature’s gender so she could stop calling the Emi creature ‘it’. She figured should also stop calling them ‘the creatures’; it’s starting to sound rude.

And the story writer is getting tired of adding ‘the creature’ to their names.

Pinkie, you’re not supposed to show up yet. Wait your turn.

Fine, but when are you going to get to me?

Later, now shoo.

Now Sunset needs to figure out how to tell the- Brigid that the creature that tried to grab her today is the same creature that killed Blackfeather.
