//------------------------------// // Weeping // Story: Backwards: Insanity is not Sane // by chewyrainbow //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash couldn't control the words that came from her mouth. "She wouldn't leave me alone..." Twilight stared at her with mouth agape, and her eyes wide. Rainbow Dash shook her head violently, backing away from the gruesome scene of the bleeding, and motionless Derpy Hooves. She threw the rock in the most opposite direction. She began to scream, running into Twilight's library, leaving the mail pony , and a still stunned Twilight. ------------------------------------------------------ Twilight shook her head to snap out of her thoughts, well, more likely shock. Looking around with hurried glances she noticed no one had seen any of this. What else could she do? Call the police, and tell them her insane friend just killed a mare for running into her? Or tell them she fell and hit her head on a rock? Twilight didn't know, but one thing she knew for sure was that Rainbow Dash was in a mad panic, and needed her help to quickly. Hoping someone else would hurry and come to the aid of Derpy, she ran off, with a smile when she heard a gasp, obviously someone had found the motionless mail pony. ----------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash screamed, as she sat on the bed she slept in the previous night. She covered her face in the pillow, her tears pouring down the sides of her cheeks, staining the fluffy pillow, and leaving her gasping for breath as she choked on her own tears. She began to hold her breath, hoping she could contain the screeches and wails coming from her own mind. Throwing the soaked pillow across the room, it made a light thud as it fell to the ground. Her face was beginning to turn purple as she held her breath. She knew she had to stop and take in air, but something inside her wouldn't allow it. Her eyes widened in a feared state. Her attempt to stop crying had worked, but now she was engulfed in fear instead. She began to stomp her hooves on the bed, and shake violently trying to take in a deep breath. --------------------------------------------------- Twilight ran into the room. But when she arrived, she came face to face with a cyan blue mare, with a face of magenta as bright as Rainbow's eyes. Panic stricken, she had no idea what to do. ----------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash knew this was her last chance, any longer of no breath she would die. One more time she opened her mouth to inhale deeply for air. But instead of a breathless gasp, she finally felt the air rush inter her lungs. Suddenly she felt extremely dizzy, unable to see anything correctly. She was in such a frightened state, she hadn't even noticed the pain in her limbs and wings. All until now. The pain seared through her like fire over oil. She clenched her teeth, fighting extremely hard to keep from crying. She noticed Twilight had come over to her, with a glass of water held by her lavender magic, tilted ever so slightly, waiting for Rainbow to take a drink. She accepted it, and choked down the whole cupful. She laid down, tucking her hooves under her chest. She couldn't resist any longer, and began to quietly whimper, tears dripping onto the floor, forming a small puddle. -------------------------------------------------- Twilight laid a hoof on her shoulder, gently patting her. She began to think for a while. Rainbow Dash is fighting extreme trauma, Fluttershy has gone insane, and still is after her failed attempt to save her, Derpy Hooves is dead, And so were all of her other friends, and she can't do a thing about it....
