A dash of fire

I rushed into the kids room looking at Dashie holding Lyra in her arms crying hystaricly.

"Dashie! Whats wrong!?" she looks at me and passes Lyra to me I hold the filly curiously as Dashie gallops into our room.  I nuzzle the filly softly to wake her up and her head gose limp.  I tear up and nuzzle her again her head still limp dosent move.

"No!" I begin to cry and put my ear to her chest and listen.  Nothing I hold her closer and squeaze her tight as I cry.

"Lyra sweetheart wake up please." I continue to nuzzle her hoping that with some miricle she would wake up.  Dashie walks in and puts a hoof on my shoulder as I hold Lyra and cry. I close her eyes and look at Dashie tears still streaming down our faces.

"Take care of Ditzy while I take care of Lyra."

"No Balze I have to come with."

"its best if I do this alone sweetheart ill be back" I walk out the front door lyra on my back I fly to ponyville hospital and slwoly walk in the front door Lyra laying limp on my back. The doctors rush over and take her off my back the tryed to ask questions. All I could do is cry and shake my head as I watch them try to revive her but I knew it was too late. The doctors layed her on a table and left the room for a few minutes. I trotted over slowly and put my muzzle on her stomach as I cried.

"Im sorry Lyra im so sorry" I repeated this several times and the nurses came to take me away from her.  My body went limp as they dragged me away from my daughters corpse.  At that same moment I saw a flash of blue gallop past me running up to the foal. As she cries over the foal nurses try to subdew the frantic mare as she bucks and kicks the nurses away. I walked up and she kicks me breaking a few ribs I tackle her to the floor and restrain her as we cry together. Just then a nurse gave the still squirming blue pegesus a shot in the neck. Now as she slowly stop moving going into a deep sleep I continue to hold her in the quiet room.

"I am so sorry Dashie." I hold her close in the quiet room until a small cough  from the table breaks the silence.
