To Cadence's Horror she saw a small purple filly laying on the grass in front of a tree eye's closed and matted with tears. As one of the royal guards was leaned over her. Casting some magic on the little filly.

“What is going on here!” Cadence screamed.

The stallion turned around at an alarming speed almost seeming scared. Blocking Cadence from seeing Twilight.

“Ah-h Princess Cadenza, I was ju-just doing my afternoon ch-check around the gardens when I came ac-across Miss Twi-Twilight ly-lying in the grass, I ca-came over to her to try and wake her u-up” The stallion stood straight, but shaking quite a bit.

Cadence tried walking up to Twilight slowly, not taking her eyes off her location for a moment, but continued to talk to the stallion.

“Have you determined what is wrong with her” Cadence's throat felt dry as she approached on shaky hooves.

The stallion stood in front of Twilight hindering Cadence's vision even more.

“Yes Princess but I'm not to sure you would want to see her at the moment, not until a doctor arrives at least” The stallion breathed in a shaky voice.

“And Why The Buck Not!” Cadence lost her composure.

“Because Princess I know how close you two are... and seeing this would destroy you... I have vomited twice now. I've notified a flying patrol and they're getting a doctor as we speak.” The stallion closed the gap between him a Cadence in order to get her to stand back.

“I demand you tell me what happened Guard now!” Cadence boomed causing the stallion to step back a few paces.

“If you insist Princess...” The stallion breathed a deep breath.

“I have several witnesses who have made a statement saying, they saw Miss Twilight walked away with two colt's and a filly in this direction three and a half hours ago.” The stallion waited before continuing.

“And we believe it was those three foals that are the ones that did this” The stallion's voice was shaky.

“Have the three foals been identified?” Cadence tried to keep her composure.

“Yes Princess they are being spoken to by the board now... It appears that she has suffered a lot of physical damage... As for her mental state is concerned I am unsure...” The stallion began to step forward again.

“Physical damage?” Cadence began to cry again.

“I only know some information through visual observation and a quick scan with magic Princess” The stallion started to shuffle his hooves.

“An-and wh-what did you fi-find?” Cadence began to cry uncontrollably.

“She... She's seemed to have suffered from three bruised ribs, two broken. A broken nose.” The stallion held his breath he couldn't bring himself to continue.

“And!” Cadence screamed while tears had matted her fur.

The stallion twitched at the sound, not wanting to continue, fear of nearly destroying the Princess, but he did so reluctantly.

“And her ba-back ho-hoof appears to be spr-sprained, while her front shoulder ap-appears to be dis-dis-dislocated, one of her ey-eyes appears to be very swo-swollen. And... And.. I'm sorry Princess I can't continue” The stallion turned his face to the side with his eyes closed. Raising a hoof to his mouth to avoid choking.

“Then let me see her for myself!” Cadence said while trying to walk past the stallion. Until he held out a hoof before continuing.

“Princess may I ask a personal question?” The stallion choked momentarily.

“What?” Cadence said stood still waiting for the stallion to lower his hoof.

“Has Miss Twilight began her cycle yet, I've heard it starts between the ages of five and twelve for filly's and she is six correct?” The stallion's eyes began to water.

Cadence stomach nearly turned in on itself as she had an idea where the stallion was going with this.

“She is six next week, no she hasn't begun her cycle yet, why do you ask?” Cadence turned to the guard and notice a tear role out of his eye.

“I was afraid of that....” The stallion boked before finishing.

“I did-didn't have a clo-close enough look bu-but a-a large am-amount of bl-blood was coming from underneath h-her tail. I don't think it has come from her mare-mare-marehood though. I pray it hasn't come from there” The stallion's tears flowed freely now.

Cadence's heart broke. She could feel the love being drain from it.

“What do you mean?!” Cadence cried.

The stallion closed his eyes. Breathed deep. Before saying...

“I believe Miss Twilight has been r-r-r-raped” The stallion lowered his hoof. His eyes now pouring with tears before he choked and turned to run towards a bush. He began throwing up into the bush.

As Cadence was looking at the stallion throwing up. She closed her eyes and turned towards were Twilight was laying. The first thing Cadence saw was a large burn mark on the side of Twilight's body. 'Obviously a result of a fire spell' With the words 'Princesses Pet' Carved into it.

Cadence slowly walk up to Twilight's unconscious form. She sat down in front of her slowly reaching out a hoof to place on the burn. Her ears perked and her head turned with lighting speed as she heard Twilight begin to speak.

“Cad-Cadence...” Twilight said, it appeared she was still unconscious.

“Cadence... I'm sorry... I-I tried so hard... I tried so hard to make friends... but...but...I failed you...I'm so s-sorry” Twilight's closed eyes allowed some tears to escape.

Cadence just sat there starring at the purest filly she'd ever met, not understanding how ponies could be so cruel.

Cadence attempted to pick the filly up in a aura of magic. She stopped as she noticed the blood. She stood up and walked towards Twilight's rump and lifted her tail. There was a large amount of blood under her tail. Cadence turned and boked as she saw a white substance mixed in with it. She turned back and lifted her tail higher, she saw the source of all the blood. It appeared that the blood was coming from Twilight's tail hole as she noticed a large amount white liquid pouring out of it.

'Twilight must have been torn apart' Cadence thought. 'At least it's her tail hole and not her marehood' Cadence lowered her tail and shuddered. 'What do you mean, at least it's only her tailhole?!' Cadence's mind screamed 'whether or not it's her tail hole or marehood, Twilight has been raped!' Cadence tears poured from her eyes. 'She didn't want to make friends and you made her! It's your fault she hurt! Your fault she's like this!' Cadence's mind told her.

In the mist of Cadence's investigating the stallion guard had walked up to her.

“Will you be fine waiting here for a doctor to arrive Princess?” The stallion choked.

“I think so... are you going to find Shinning Armour and tell him?” Cadence kept staring at Twilight.

“No...I think this would kill him more than you...” The stallion turned to walk away.

“Then where are you going?” Cadence looked up at the stallion.

The stallion paused but did not turn around.

“I have known Twilight for as long as I have known Shinning Armour... Which is over four years now... and neither of them deserve this kind of pain... whatever happens I will make sure that justice will prevail... do you have any objections?” The stallion stated in a calm low voice. Then took his leave.

“No pony deserves this. I am a Princess of love. Any pony that is willing to do this another pony... Has no capacity for love... and does not deserve to live... I will not stop you in whatever you do. But may I simply ask that you return when you have finished... So that Twilight knows that there are ponies who care for her...” Cadence said and stared at Twilight again.

“As you wish your highness” The guard bowed before leaving.

Cadence picked Twilight up in a magical aura and brought her to her chest. She hugged Twilight's unconscious body and wrapped her tail around her waist. She began to rock back and forth singing, 'hush now... quiet now... time to lay your sleepy head... hush now... quiet now... time to go to bed...' Cadence sang crying the whole time.

….......................

“Princess! Princess Celestia!” A young Pegasus yelled as she ran into the throne room. She skidded to a halt in front of the throne.

“Yes what is it?” Celestia raised her head from the papers she was working on for the night court.

“It's about Miss Twilight Sparkle.” The pony guard said out of breath.

“Have you found her!” Celestia teleported from the throne to just a few inches in front of the Pegasus causing her to jump back.

“Y-yes your Highness” The Pegasus lowered her head and bit her lip.

“And... What happened!” Celestia boomed.

“She is being taken to the infirmary at the moment your highness, she has suffered a large amount physical damage and being treated.” The Pegasus began to shrink under Celestia's gaze.

“Physical Damage!” Celestia voice shattered one of the windows.

“Several witnesses have stated seeing Twilight wander off with two colts and a filly three and a half hours before sunset” The guard gulped before continuing. “She was found by Lieutenant Reaper who, called me down as I was patrolling, I immediately went and got doctor Reetro who followed me to her location, he is taking her to the infirmary now” The Pegasus began sweating.

“Has Shinning Armour and Princess Cadence been informed! What of the two colts and filly suspected of doing this, were are they!” Celestia eyes began to twitch furiously.

“Shinning Armour has yet to be informed, the two colts and filly are being held in the boarding room as we speak. As for Princess Cadence...” The guard lowered her head.

“Yes!” Celestia screamed.

The guard shivered.

“She was found hugging Twilight's body, she's been escorted to her room for the time being”

“How is Twilight?” Tear threatened to fall from Celestia's eyes yet she remained her composure.

“Doctor Reetro preformed a full survey in the garden and she is being treated for it in the infirmary.” The guard stood up straight.

“What of the filly's what are they being charged with?”

The guard closed her eyes before speaking.

“The filly and the youngest colt are being charged with assault, while the oldest colt is being charged with....” The guard turned her head and looked out one of the windows before finding the courage to finish. “The oldest colt is being charged with... rape” Celestia's ears fell as well as her mane, as it stopped flowing and slowly began to rest on her head.

“Rape...?” Celestia breathed.

“Yes.. although both the colts and the filly are under-age foals so the charges might be dropped..” The guard said with an exhausted tone.

“I'll be damned if they do!” Celestia screamed her face slowly turning into one of rage.

“Princess...” The guard looked up at Celestia.

She looked down eyes full of rage, nostrils flaring.

“I think you should go talk to Cadence I must inform Shinning Armour” The guard turned to leave.
While Celestia still stood there in a state of rage.

“Oh Princess Celestia...” The guard turned just before she left through the door.

“Yes Spark?” Celestia said raising her head just a touch.

“Is it possible for a ponies cutie mark to change, say if they're purpose in life no longer existed then would it change. Say if a ponies cutie mark represented love... but they no longer felt love could it change.” The guard turned around and raised an eyebrow.

“I'm not sure why do you ask...?” Celestia's stood up completely tears on the verge of breaking out.

“Go talk to Princess Cadence” And with that the Pegasus left.

“Cadence...” Celestia bolt for the open door heading in the direction of Cadence's room.

'No Cadence don't let go! Don't give up just yet!' Celestia thought as she ran through the castle halls as fast as she could.

Celestia bolted through Cadence doors.

“Cadence!” She shouted.

Celestia turned to see Cadence sat on her bed starring at both of her hooves which were covered in blood.

“Blood..?” Celestia whispered.

Celestia cautiously approached Cadence's bed. As she got closer she saw Cadence's Cutie Mark. A look of horror formed on the Princesses face. What used to a beautiful, blue, crystal heart. Had now had a very large crack in it.

“Cadence?” Celestia said lightly.

“It's funny isn't it?” Cadence said not moving an inch.

“Pardon me?” Celestia seemed scared.

“It's funny how easy it is to destroy somepony. How easily a pony can be, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually and Physically destroyed in a instant. How EveryPony Can Break like glass” Cadence Fainted.
