My Past Is Complicated

“I can’t believe we got screamed at by two people in the span of thirty minutes,” I grumbled and took a step. It hurt like hell to walk after the beating I received from the two sirens and Lightning. I may have lied and said I hurt myself falling in the shower. The truth was my pride refused to admit what truly happened but I think my friends knew the truth.

“I think they are mad at us,” Pinkie mumbled as she played with her straight hair. It had lost it’s poofiness a long time ago since this started. We all stared dejectedly as we walked away. I can’t believe I’m even thinking this but furious Twilight scares the hell out of me. Rarity was terrified of her after she slapped her. Hell I was scared Fluttershy or Pinkie was next. No matter how mad or scared I would have been, I wouldn’t have hurt Twilight. I would have just yanked the two away from her.

“Ah think that’s an understatement sugarcube,” Applejack admitted. She had left her hat in the car. She sighed as she hugged Fluttershy and wiped a tear away. “It’s gonna be okay. This will blow over and will get sorted out. Ah ain’t sure how but it will.”

“I left my shake at the shop,” Rarity muttered with a shocked expression on her face. “I would go get it but what if Twilight is still there waiting for me? She scares me.” We opened the doors to Rarity’s car.

“I’ll call my boss. I’ll ask her to put ours in the fridge or freezer or something,” Pinkie mumbled as we stepped inside Rarity’s suv.

“I’m gonna sleep when I get home,” I admitted and rested against the seat.

I jumped on my bed and laid down, resting my hands on my chest. I stared at the ceiling and closed my eyes, feeling sleep take me. I stood in a dark field and glanced around in confusion.

“Where the hell am I?” I muttered as something in the distance moved and I squinted. “Hello?”

“Hello there me,” a voice said coldly behind me and I spun around to face whatever was behind me. I stared in shock and a mix of fear. I stared into the eyes of myself. She had rainbow hair with a white streak in it and magenta flakes in her gold eyes. Her green skin had blue specks in it.

“What are you?” I asked curiously.

“Easy. I’m you. Or well, the Element you represent of course. Not that you have been doing a really good job of displaying loyalty recently now have you?” She asked pointedly as she pointed at a chair. “Sit down. We have a lot to talk about. This isn’t a request by the way. It’s a fucking order.”

With a frustrated sigh, I sat down across from her. She snapped her fingers and a table appeared between the two of us. It had a chess board on it and she moved her white pawn a spot on the board.

“So let’s go over what we know shall we?” She smiled coldly as an invisible force moved a knight on my side of the board. “Sunset was a bitch. She got hit by the power of friendship and worked to better herself. She stood up to the sirens alongside you and the others even though you guys made fun of her past. And then the whole school accepted her. Am I right so far?”

“Uh yeah?” I raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Where are you going with this?” She stood up suddenly and flipped the table and glared at me furiously.

“Then why the fuck would she betray you all huh? Why the fuck would throw away another friend group that she called a third family?” She shouted and punched me in the jaw. “Are you fucking stupid? Are you that stupid, Dash? She worked her ass to get where she is. All it took was a few posts and a few days for you to betray her.” I rubbed my jaw in shock. Even if this was a dream, it felt like I gotten slugged in real life. I honestly hoped to God I couldn’t get killed in the dream verse or whatever the fuck this was.

“It makes sense!” I finally said. “I can’t think of anyone else! Who would be stupid enough to do this?” Loyalty scoffed and gave me a flat look.

“You should look closer in your own circle before you jump to conclusions. I’m just here to say goodbye one last time,” she admitted. I stared at her and tilted my head.

“What the hell does that mean?” I demanded. “Goodbye? My own circle? What are you talking about?”

“You willingly betrayed your element. You pushed me away and I can’t be with you anymore. You did this, not me. And it’s time for you suffer the consequences,” she said as the last bit of blue skin was completely taken off by green. The magenta eyes were golden and bright as the rainbow hair disappeared. It was replaced with green and white hair. “I hope my next bearer isn’t as dumb as you. Maybe she will really understand how to stay loyal to those around her because you sure as fuck can’t.”

“Wait! What did you mean my own circle?” I shouted as she started to fade away. She gave me a sad smile and I started to see through her. “Help me please. I’m confused.”

“Sorry Dash. I truly am but I can’t help you anymore. You’re on your own from now on. Be grateful Princess Luna isn’t in your dreams. After all, the dream realm is hers no matter what world it is in,” she announced before disappearing completely. My eyes opened quickly and I sat up panting in bed. My sheets were covered in sweat and I wiped a tear off my face. I had a bad feeling things were only going to yet worse from here on out.
