Chapter 9
Falling asleep at night is difficult. Falling asleep at night while your brother is in a coma and your parents are dead is torture. Twilight cried so much that it drained her energy and she managed to fall a sleep by 1:00 AM. She`s dreaming a terrible nightmare.




Twilight`s running and searching through the woods calling her parents` names and crying. She finds them deep in the woods and they say that they`ve missed her. They tell her to come over. 

She starts running, but before she gets there they are attacked by timber wolves and she didn`t reach them in time. She holds their dead bodies and screams that she needs help, but no help comes. Then, their souls come out of their bodies and disappear after seconds symbolizing that they are truly gone and there was nothing she could do. 

She lays there and waits for them to get her. One jumps through the air and is about to kill her.




She wakes up screaming. Shining Armor is so upset that she`s screaming that it wakes him up from his state of unconsciousness. 

He runs to her and cradles her in his arms. They both cry softly over their parents death and think about things that no kid should have to deal with. They lay there in silence until they both fall asleep. 

They wake up at around 7:00 AM with heavy hearts and head aches from all of the crying. Shining Armor looks his sister in the eyes and says "It`s going to be okay." Those four simple words brought Twilight some peace. Maybe. Just maybe it will be okay. Twilight clings to her momentary happiness enough to get herself out of bed and eat breakfast. Thinking about eating right now makes her want to puke, but she needs to eat something because she knows she won`t have the heart to eat again for a while. 

She will make it through today and the next day and the next and the day after that, but she won`t ever be the same happy, little filly again.
