Bloodlines

The next day Twilight, Fluttershy, Sonata, Adagio, and Aria all met up at the diner where Pinkie Pie worked.

“Well, that was some party last night.” Aria said.

“Yeah. It’s just very hard to believe that tomorrow will be the start of our final week of high school.” Twilight said.

“At least we will still have the summer together before college starts.” Sonata said.

“And I think I know EXACTLY how you will be spending your summer.” Aria said with a teasing look on her face again.

Sonata buried her face in her hands. “You two are never going to let this go, are you?”

“Let what go?” Fluttershy asked.

“Sonata has a crush on Timber’s friend, Cassidy.” Adagio said.

“The guy who showed up at the party last night? He seems really nice.” Twilight said.

Pinkie Pie zoomed over in a pink blur. “Did I hear that Sonata has a crush?”

Sonata closed her eyes and shook her head. “Can we please talk about something else?”

“Um, I haven’t seen Rainbow Dash since last night.” Fluttershy said.

Twilight thought for a moment. “Come to think of it, I haven’t heard from Rarity or AppleJack either.”

At that moment Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and AppleJack all walked into the diner. Aba was right beside them. They all sat in a booth across from the others.

Pinkie Pie zipped over to them. “Hey guys! Where have you been?”

“Busy.” Rarity said in a plain voice.

“Oh, okay.” Pinkie Pie then looked over at Aba. “Who are you?”

Aba smiled and looked at Pinkie Pie. She clearly liked what she saw. “My name is Aba. I’m new to town.”

“How do you know Rarity, AppleJack, and Rainbow Dash?”

“They have been showing me around. They are very friendly.”

“Would any of you like to order something?”

“I’m not hungry.” AppleJack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all said one after another.

Aba picked up a menu. “I am. I’ll have a cheeseburger, cooked rare, with a strawberry milkshake.”

“Coming right up.” Pinkie Pie then went to place Aba’s order. Fluttershy got up from her booth and walked over to Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash, are you alright? I haven’t heard from you since last night.”

“I’m fine.” Rainbow Dash answered. There was an emptiness to her voice.

“You know that I worry about you.” Fluttershy placed her hand on Rainbow Dash’s arm. Rainbow Dash’s skin felt ice cold.

Pinkie Pie came back with Aba’s order. Aba took a big bite of the cheeseburger, the juices running down her mouth as she savored every bite.

Fluttershy decided to walk back to her booth. As she did, Aba took a sip from her strawberry milkshake. She watched Fluttershy’s ass and licked her lips.

“Guys, Rainbow Dash and the others are acting really weird.” Fluttershy said when she returned to her booth. “Also, when I touched Rainbow Dash, her skin was cold as ice.”

Everyone looked over at the other booth. Aba continued eating her cheeseburger AppleJack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all had their heads down.

“That girl is giving me creepy vibes.” Twilight said. “It’s almost like…”

“Like what?” Adagio asked.

“Like the feeling of hatred I got from Killian.”

Everyone at the booth became silent. Even though it had been a year, they were still not completely over the murders that Killian had committed. Especially the death of Sunset Shimmer. But what really weighed heavily on them was the reason Killian did what he did. The girls made sure to use their powers for good, and to not get consumed by them. They also kept a lookout for anyone else with magic, but had yet to find anyone else like them.

The girls decided that they should probably leave. As they left, Aba watched intently as they left.
