------Rainbow Dash------
‘THUD’
“We went easier on you this time” The guard said as he threw Rainbow into her cell.
“Celestia wants to see you soon”
He slammed the door shut, the sound of his hoof-steps getting quieter as he headed back to the guard room.
Rainbow didnt move for a few minutes, she just lay there where she’d landed, trying to summon up the strength to get back to her feet.
“What does Celestia want with me now?”
she thought as she slowly managed to drag herself to the corner she’d called home for the last couple month.
“She made it perfectly clear how dissapointed and disgusted in me she was, that she never wanted to see me or hear my name again.”
It seemed to take an eternity to get across the floor, but eventually she did.
Rainbow managed, by leaning on a wall, to get herself up onto her haunches. She sat there, staring into space, her once beautifull multi-coloured mane a tangled, bloodied mess draped over her face and side. Her tail full of knots and matted with dried blood and dirt.
"What a mess you are" She thought to herself
"The guards were right, they did go easier on me this time, didnt break anything"
Rainbow lay down on the filthy blanket under her, fore-legs crossed her head resting on them,to try to get some sleep.
Soon as she closed her eyes, to try to sleep, there was scootaloo's terrified face, staring back at her.
Her eyes snapped open,and she looked around in a panic,
"Oh Celestia" She cried
"I'm so so sorry scoots, how could i have put you through all that. I was your hero, even a mother to you!"
Rainbow started tearing up,
"Oh scoots, will you ever forgive me, will you ever trust me again?"
She opened her mouth to cry alittle, but all it brought was a few tears and made her cough up some blood.
She lay there and wept till she had no more tears.
Now she was in a right state, her mane and tail matted with blood and dirt, her cyan coat blackend and grey,
her eyes were baggy and bloodshot, the fur on her face a muddled mess of blood,dirt and tears.
She was exhausted and, welcoming the feeling of sleep overcoming her, closed her eyes,dreading the nightmares it would bring.
The sound of hoof-steps echoed through the hallway as a servent carried a tray towards Rainbow's cell.
When she was at the cell, she put the tray on the floor anf gently knocked on the door.
"Your foods here Rainbow" She said softly.
She knelt down and opened the little flap on the bottom of the door, then slowly slid the tray into the cell and closed it.
She stood back up and listened at the door, she heard nothing for a couple minutes and fearing the worst, was about knock on the door, when a noise made her stop.
She put an ear to the door,making out the sound of hoof-steps and the tray sliding on the stone floor.
"Thank Celestia your still alive" The servant thought as she headed back up the corridor.
