	Once returning to my room, my mother kisses my forehead and I watch as she slowly walks back to her room, head down, ears back. I can tell she is devastated, as I am too. I slowly close my door, hearing the click. I lock the door and I slowly walk over to my bed, sulking. I sit there, staring at the floor. I take a shaky breath and the tears start to stream down my cheeks. I never really got to spend time with my dad as he was always busy with being Captain of the Guard and he was always helping my mom with royal duties. And now I feel terrible. An idea suddenly pops into my head and I start to debate over it. After a couple minutes of debating, I decide to go with the idea, no matter how much I'll regret it. I get up and I head over to my desk, pulling open a drawer with my hoof. I rummage through the drawer before pulling out a book. I light a candle and I sit down, starting to read. I eventually find what I'm looking for. A transformation spell. No one will let me out of the empire if I look like myself, so if I can change how I look, I could go and search for my father. I read the spell one last time before I start to chant it out loud. As I chant a dark looking smoke starts to surround me. It all swirls around me before it all starts to bunch up at my chest and I soon start to feel a terrible pain. I let out a scream and I grab my head, feeling a sharp pain and it feels like my head is throbbing. The pain starts to spread through my body and I start to cry from pain. I hear my door trying to be opened, but since I had locked it, whoever is trying to get in, can't. I then hear banging on the door as somepony is trying to break in. My vision starts to fade and I fall to the ground, curling up in pain as I see the door break open, my mom and a couple guards come in, all looking worried. 
"SUGAR RUSH!!!" My mom screams and she goes to run to me but she gets stopped by a guard. He scans me, looking around the room, trying to find the cause. He finds the book and using his magic her picks it up. He looks at it.
"It's dark magic.." He explains. "This book is written to seem like a normal spell book, but it's a dark magic book, written by Sombra himself... I can help her, but what she's done to herself will remain, it is a curse. I will be able to stop it, but if her emotions get out of control, the curse will take over." He looks at my mom and she nods. He looks back at me and he picks my up with his magic, not allowing anypony to get near me. He starts to pull the dark magic from me, it slowly seeping from the tip of my wings, somehow. He makes it disperse and I scream in pain and I struggle around, wanting this all to stop. He manages to get all the dark magic he can out and he gently sets me down on the floor, using a sleep spell on me. 
"She likely wont remember what happened when she wakes up. You'll need to explain this to her..." He tells my mother. She takes a deep breath and she nods. She gently carries me to my bed and she tucks me in, kissing my forehead. She looks at me and she sighs.
"My precious little girl... I've already lost your father... I can't lose you too. Rest well, sweetie... I love you..." And with that, they leave me to rest.
