As the days went on I searched on the internet too, for books on magic, but to no avail. I had no idea where to start and in a couple of days, school was going to begin again. I looked at Twilights sleeping form beside me and sighed. I wanted to go out today so I thought about a solution to take her with me. I couldn’t carry her, she was too heavy now, and she didn’t fit in the bag anymore, that wasn’t an option anyway, as I had to carry the bag as well. So what was there to do now? Maybe she could make herself invisible with her magic? But then I couldn’t see her either, that would only be a problem.
I sighed as I closed my diary and put my pen back on my desk. Twilight was laying on my bed again, not sleeping, just napping a bit. I smiled at her as she opened her eyes.
“When are we going outside?” She asked, I looked at her sad.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to take you with me…” I said sadly. Twilight looked at me thinking about something. Maybe a solution as well, I didn’t know. She looked at the book that was beside her, she had just read it again.
“There was some spell in this that could help us” She said as she used her magic to open the book. I looked at her hopefully. Maybe she was right? It was a unicorn book.
As she flipped through the pages her eyes went over every single letter, searching desperately for a spell that could help her, and she found it.
“Here it is!” She said excitedly, waving her hoof to me to tell me to come closer, so I did. As I walked nearer I saw a spell in it that I haven’t seen before.
“What is it?” I asked. Twilight’s eyes drifted from the book to me.
“A spell to give somepony wings” She said. I smiled, that would be a perfect solution. She could give herself wings and fly up in the sky so that no one could see her.
“How does it work?” I asked as I sat down beside her. She read the book intensely.
“It looks difficult” I said as I read it too. Twilight looked nervous, could she really do this?
“But I know you can do it” I smiled at her as she looked at me for a moment. She nodded and looked at the book again. It was a flight spell, I recognized it from episode 16 from season 1: Sonic Rainboom. That one was awesome. Though, Rarity got extremely outstanding butterfly wings. I wondered what kind of wings Twilight would get. Maybe the spell uses characteristics to make the right wings for a pony? I didn’t know, so I just looked at the unicorn closely as she focused on her magic.
Her horn began glowing immensely I noticed. And wind began flowing around the room as Twilight unconsciously lifted herself up. A blue aura wrapped around her and covered her entire being as she focused more and more on the spell. It was extremely difficult, I could see that, but she did her best and groaned as her horn began glowing more. A slight boll popped from her horn and an enormous light shaded my eyes. I fell backwards, but I was more worried about Twi. What had happened?
As I opened my eyes I saw Twilight sitting on the bed with her eyes tightly closed. I looked at her hopefully and noticed that her spell had indeed worked.
“Twilight!” I said excitedly. “You did it!” I hugged her close as she smiled. She had beautiful wings, they weren’t as outstanding as Rarity’s, they were just right.
They were white with a lot of feathers, not like the normal pegasus ones. They would last for three days, the book had said, so that would be perfect.
As I released her I touched the feathers slightly.
“Can I look at them?” Twi asked, she wanted a mirror, so I stood up and unlocked the door. Making sure no one was there I walked towards the bathroom with Twilight behind me. As she looked in the mirror she smiled brightly.
“I really did it!” She said proud of herself. I smiled too, but I noticed something on her flank. Her wings had before covered that part of her flank, so I hadn’t noticed it.
“Twilight…” I said slightly stunned. She looked at me confused, but her eyes widened as she noticed what I had been looking at.
There, on her beautiful purple flank, was her cutiemark. She had finally done it! It was the same as in the show, but this time she had earned it quite differently. I was still so proud of her, so I hugged her close again.
I heard footsteps towards the stairs. Oh no, my mother was coming up! I held Twilight tight to my chest as I as quietly as I could walked towards my room. My mother was almost upstairs as I just closed my door. Unfortunately, I hadn’t locked it yet.
Knock knock. “Anna dear, can I come in for a moment?” My mother asked me from the other side of the door. She didn’t come in on her own luckily. So I motioned for Twi to hide and she did. She crawled into my closet and closed the door with her magic.
I opened my own door.
“What is it?” I asked my mother casually as I looked around the room. Oh no, the book was laying on my bed! I walked towards it as normally as I could and grabbed it, tossing it into a bin next to my bed.
My mother looked around my room. “I wanted to know what you were doing. Do you want to come down and drink some tea with me maybe?” She asked. I looked at her confused. She hadn’t asked me that in two years now!
“Why?”
“I miss our time together”
Stupid woman. She was lying, I could see that, but I didn’t pay attention to it as I shrugged.
“Well, I was actually planning on going for a stroll…”
“Oh, alright then. I’ll leave you alone” With that she left and closed the door behind her.
Thank god. I grabbed the book and opened the door of my closet.
“You okay?” I asked the unicorn there. She nodded, smiling slightly, and walked out of the closet.
“When are we going outside?” Twilight asked as she magically moved the book back on the bed.
“In a minute” I said as I opened my bedroom window. I couldn’t take Twilight downstairs, so she had to fly up through my window. A cold breeze went past me as I took in the fresh outside air. My hair flew around my face as the wind became slightly stronger.
“Let’s go” I said as I looked at Twilight. Twilight smiled and nodded, standing up and trying out her wings. She was clumsy at first, but after a while she became better and could fly swiftly. She flew out the window as fast as she could, I was nervous, maybe she would fall or be seen or something? I looked at her closely as she smiled at me.
“See you outside” I said as I exited my room. I walked downstairs where I saw my mother, chatting of course. She had a cigarette in one hand and coffee in the other. I sighed, ever since she found that site she’s looked like this. Ragged, sleepy, ugly actually. I still haven’t told her about the purple unicorn living in my room, but it wasn’t really a good time right now. She was too busy with those men.
“I’m going for a walk”
I put on my shoes, my mother didn’t respond. I looked towards her confused.
“Mom?”
She suddenly looked at me as if she hadn’t even noticed I was there.
“Oh, yeah sorry. What did you say?” She asked, her face flustered.
I sighed. “I’m going for a walk” I repeated. She nodded and went back towards the screen. And she had just previously said that sitting behind your computer screen all the time was ‘bad for your eyes’ or something. I shrugged it off as I grabbed my coat and walked outside.
I saw Twilight flying high above me, grinning widely. I smiled, she really was the only good thing in my life. I didn’t have any friends. It had been almost two years now, maybe a year and a half. I don’t know exactly. As we neared the small park I saw some of my past friends of mine again. One of them being Nickita. Jane wasn’t there this time. She didn’t live in this town. This dead, dead town. As the girls neared me their eyes met mine in a mocking way. I knew they were planning something, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it as I tried blocking my mind. My heart was racing pretty fast though, because I was scared of what they could do.
“Hey Fay, how are you today?” One of the girls said. It was Becky Thompson, another girl that had once acted as if they were my friend. Stupid girls and their stupid girly things. I hated her too. She had dark brown hair, almost red, and it was in a high ponytail, as she always wore it. She loves horses a lot and is on a school for that too, stupid cowgirl.
There was also Elisabeth Gloom, my teachers niece, she was as bad as the other two, maybe even worse. She had short black hair and always acted like a tomboy, when in reality she was just as girly as they were. I was the real tomboy, and that was another reason for her to hate me.
The last was Nickita of course. He long blonde hair around her shoulders. She wore a short skirt and a simple top. Like a slut. Stupid girl. I hated those three most. They were totally opposite of me.
“I’m alright” I answered casually. Looking at the three girls in front of me intensely, not letting my guard down even one moment. They looked at each other for a moment, smirking. As they looked back at me I gulped. There was mischief in their eyes, I didn’t like this one bit.
“What was that with that unicorn you told me about the other day?” Oh no, I didn’t see that coming. Nickita had probably laughed at my comment, but then taken it a bit more seriously, since she knew about my love for the show. Stupid girl.
“Nothing really, just a joke” I partly lied. It was a joke, but it was the truth too. The girls just laughed mockingly, I hate them. I looked up for a moment as they looked at each other again. Twilight was just floating above some clouds, hiding for normal eyes.
“You’re a weird girl, you know that?” Becky said, another stupid girl. Please, of course I know that. I’m the weirdness itself. Laughing I looked back at them, smirking just slightly.
“Of course, why do you ask?” The girls looked at me slightly stunned. They probably hadn’t expected that.
“Like we care” Nickita said as she motioned the girls to follow her as she walked past me. The other two did as they were told and left with their ‘leader’. I looked back at them for a moment before sighing relieved. I’m glad that was over. I looked at Twilight above me, who had a worried look on her face. I smiled at her, reassuring her I was okay.
Stupid girls.
