Blue Flame

At the barn; I can see how big this party truly is. Hundreds of ponies gather at the faded barn; all dancing madly to the electronic beats. The new music hurts my ears; I preferr rock to this blasphimy to music itself. Ozzy looks over to me; obviously seeing my distress. "Thanks for comming, Silver. I really apreciate it!" She bumps my side; shedding that all-revealing grin. "Maby you'll meet some friends here too!" I smile back, but I seriously doubt it. The only reason any of the ponies have even talked to me, or at least looked at me; is because they expect somthing. I have become the superman of this town; and the ponyfolk still dont treat me like another being. They think of me alike a fix-all for any problem. Hell, maby they're right. Maby Im nothing but a screwdriver to these ponies. Needless to say; I truly dont care what they think of me. I came to this town to live a solmn existance. But this isnt totally true. I see that Ozmosis; she treats me like a good friend. Ponies rave all around us; some just twisting and vomiting on the ground. What fun it must be to wake, not knowing quite who you are, not to mention WHERE. I just shed these thoughts like rainfall; I came here because of Ozzy. I look back at her; and strain a smile. She looks back at me; but without a smile. "Whats wrong?" She shakes her head; and holds out a hoof. In it is a long; green ribbon. "I wanted to give you this. Just figured.... Might come in handy sometime." I laugh at the sincerity of her voice; and take the ribbon. Maby I have a friend after all. Just as we reach the barn; I see somthing out of the corner of my vision. A blur of cyan flashes to my right, and there stands the pegasus of legend. Rainbow Dash. "Hey! Are you new 'round here? I havent seen an Alicorn in like, FOREVER!" She trots breifly around me; scrutinizing my set of wings. "Not the flashy wings of a normal Alicorn; they seem functional." Rainbow looks up from her observations with a tomboyish smirk. "Wanna try 'em out?" Ozzy pushes her way between the bolth of us; the pegasus a stern look. Telipathicly, she warns me. "Rainbow is challenging you to a fly-off. This bitch wont let you win, even if your better than her." I smile; and dont move my vision. "I accept, Rainbow Dash." Ozzy looks at me with a somewhat pissed, somewhat scared visage. "Your on." Rainbow Dash lets out a squee of compition; and flaps about five feet into the air. "Lets go into the cornfield. There are less ponies there!"

Standing in the full cornfields next to the barn; far enough from everyone; the rainbow-maned pegasus stands next to me. Her body doubled over in athletic stance, I am almost intimidated by her never letting sight off the distant horizon. I fix into a ready stance myself; I want to show Ozmosis what He gave me these wings for. "On the count of three!!!" I feel the muscles in my flanks tense up with anticipation; This is one race I truly intend to win. "One... Two... THREE!!!" Im gone before I know what is even happening. The cornrows blur into a green sea; and the teligraph poles next to me become a picket fence. Flapping my wings once again to gain altitude; I look in all directions. As far as I can see is twi-lit sky; and It just makes me feel even more at home.  I feel the adrenelin that had Elluded me all those years come pulsing deep in my veins; and a smirk of pure freedom comes unknowingly across my face. Yes; this is freedom. Rocketing through the air with such ease that makes you wonder what its like to walk the earth. Closing my eyes in pure ecstacy; I feel the rush of emotions take me like a giant wave. I open my eyes to see that Rainbow Dash is ahead of me; and seems to only gain ground. "Enough with the pleasures" I remind myself; "You have a race to win." Flapping my wings with all I have; I come up beside the pegasus. I smile to her; trying to show that I was friendly compition. She apperintly didnt think so. Whipping to her left; Rainbow clips my right wing. The searing pain climbs down my whole body; sending wracking pain in all directions. All I feel is the ground; and I go into black.

"Silver....Ok....Fell..." I try to open my eyes; but the pain makes me wince all the more. Sounds and voices start to straighten themselves around me; and I can hear someone, no, multiple ponies, calling me. "SILVER!!!" I roll over; doing my best to signify an answer. I feel hooves grip my sholders and legs; and hear the now familar voice of Ozmosis talking to someone. "Do you really think this'll work? I mean... the whole things kinda sketchy... maby we should just bring him to Zecora?" The other pony, a pitched mare; responds to her agressivly. "Of course it'l work! And Zecora would do the same damn thing!" I manage to open my eyes; and see only watercolors. Faces and arms swim in my vision; and It takes about thirty seconds before I can even make out who is carrying me. Rainbow Dash and Ozmosis are carrying me by the legs; and bolth seem to be pre-ocupied in whatever they were arguing about. When it seems that we have reached wherever they were taking me; Ozzy rests me gently on the ground. Rainbow drops my legs absentmindidly; rocketing pain up my torso and into my brain. I would scream from the agony; but I hardly believe I have the vocal capability to produce such a sound. I see light casting shadows around me; and am mildly confused. That is, untill I see the candles. Five candles have been stood up around me; and I smell wet chalk. Summoning all strenght I have left; I lift my upper torso off the ground to look at what is going on around me. What I see almost makes me wish I was dead. I lay in the middle of a Pentagram; with the five candles lit and stood at the corners. I go to scream; but it comes out as a distressed moan. "Oz......Ozz..y" The grey unicorn looks at me with teary eyes; and it is only then that I see what happend to me. I look like some neglected action figure; arms and legs bent in ways that seemed impossible. Blood issues profusly from long cuts down my body; and the teeth in my mouth feel unnaturally loose. "Yea, What is it?" I take in a deep breath; which proves to be a bad idea. My lungs start to burn; and I cough. I cough and cough so hard that blood spurts from my mouth. Ozmosis looks away; quietly sobbing over the gore of me that lay before her. I look to Rainbow, who's face shows no sympathy; just two red globes of emotionlessness. "F... F....Fu..Fuuc.." I look at her; coughing up even more blood as I make out the two words. "F-Fuck Yo-ou" She takes a box of matches from a small bag at her feet; and thats when I see it. My eyes widen in horror at the small, metal tank that stands at her feet. Ripping one of the matches from the box with her teeth; the blue pegasus grips the tank firmly in her hooves. Seeming to toss it at me; I get a facefull of noxious liquid. Then it truly hits me. Rainbow Dash is going to Occosuicate me. She is going to light me on fire in a pentigram and send my soul to hell. I try desperatly to crawl from the scene; to get help, but Ozmosis had ran away. She had ran away in horror of what I had done to myself. What Rainbow had done to me. The movements make no ground; and the pegasus lights up the match. "Fuck you too, asswhole." She tosses the glowing flame; and all I see is darkness.
