Visiting an Old Friend

Choices

Fluttershy opened the door of her cottage, tears still sliding down her face. She set her saddlebags down on the table, and headed for the kitchen. She had just arrived from visiting Angel's grave, and she was tired. Extrememly tired. As she set a pot of water on the stove for tea, the grieving Pegasus eyed a knife sitting on the table.

Oh, Angel. I wish I could join you. She thought.

Fluttershy smacked herself. "No," She hissed under her breath. "Angel wouldn't have wanted that."

A small voice in he head had different ideas. Why not? It would be so easy.

Fluttershy smacked herself again, harder. "Shut up!" She screeched, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Stop it!"

Hysterical, she turned off the stove and abandoned her tea. Fluttershy ignored the curious animals that approached her, worry in their eyes. She ran right through them. To her utter horror, she felt something in her hoof. She was holding the knife.

Just do it.

"No!"

Do it. You'll get to see your precious Angel.

Fluttershy looked down at the knife she was holding, her brain numb. "Maybe I will." She whispered.

The Element of Kindness catiously held the knife in her left hoof. She hit her other hoof with it the dull blade, wincing. Dark blood seeped from the deep wound. Numb pain seared through her body.

YeS! yEs! HaRdEr! The voice in her head was growing disoriented.

Fluttershy jammed the knife into her neck. Blood gushed all over the floor and colored her body red. She screamed in agony, before closing her eyes.

"I can't wait to see you, Angel." She whispered.

The End
