The Alicorn Theory: The Guardians

Amber revealed her sharp teeths in her grin. Akila moved backwards a bit more, without being able to understand the mare standing in front of her, she never heard her coming nor saw her. Amber had a little laugh.

"I thought that you were raised to not fear anything..."

My sister didn't answered, she was looking at death in the eyes and wasn't shaking, she stood tall.

"...But you are not afraid of me aren't you? You are afraid of something else..."

Akila looked at the fire, it's flames sparkling in her eyes...

"No... I'm afraid that I'll die without being loved."

Amber walked around the fire and came close of my sister.

"Oh... I can feel your pain, I can also understand why you feel that way..."

What happened after that goes further my vision... I cannot tell what have been said to Akila.

I regret, I should've been there for my sister, the way she felt, I should've helped her. But instead, I listened to her...

I had a bit of a hard time to sleep that night but it's almost if it was over the second I closed. I didn't dreamed of anything, just darkness and Screams, voices, whispers, all saying my name. Calling for help or simply get my attention. Stallions, mares, fillies... all calling for me... I opened my eyes, I could hear the fire crackling. I looked around me to see father and mother still sleeping. I stood up and walk toward the exit. It was snowy out of the teepee, I could barely see my hooves under the snow. I closed my eyes and concentrated I could hear the whispers... One leg at a time, I followed the voices, what were minutes felt like days but I didn't gave up. I walked until I reached the opening of the cave. I entered and shook my head to get rid of the snow. The stone walls reflected the few light that the fire of my sister caused. She was there, lying on the cold ground, sleeping or unconscious... I didn't care, the important was that she was in front of me. There, all alone, but somehow... I could feel that somepony was watching us. I lay cose of Akila and nuzzled her neck.

"Akila, wake up... Are you alright sister?"

She opened her eyes, her red eyes dazzling through my blue sky's.
