The Tragedy

The next morning Lyra is wakes up to see the sun isn't even up yet and thinks about going back to sleep until she sees her older sister Daisy next to her bed
"What are you doing up this early Daisy?"
"Early? ha ha! that's funny momma decided to let you sleep in"
"How could before daylight be early?"
"its only 6:30am we usually wake up at 6 goodness I would think you would know that"
"HEY! I have been brain fogged lately its not my fault"Lyra says angrily as she crosses her hooves.
"okay squirt stop your fussing you need to eat breakfast so we can go ahead and get the cabins ready for when the rest of the family gets here." The two head for the dining room and chow down and after doing their morning chores they head outside with their sister Lily and their friend Cherrie to clean the canoes and docs off then head to the other cabins to prepare them for the rest of the family. They finish right as their family starts to arrive. They play in the lake with their cousins and go canoeing by time they take a break it is time for the reunion to start. As the family gathers around for the reunion Lyra looks off into the woods and notices a shadow like figure moving around shes rubs her eyes assuming shes just imagining it but when she removes her hooves from her eyes she sees it running away so she just ignores it and takes a seat. After the reunion is finished for the day as she helps clean up she looks out on the lake to see the moonlight hit the water and admires it for a moment and sees the shadow figure again across the lake, She becomes a bit worried but she tries to ignore it. After cleaning up when its time to head in for the night. She heads in and goes to bed trying not to think of the shadow like figure but when she looks out the window of the log cabin she sees it holding a torch of rainbow like fire she stares at it in amazement but then the shadow disappeared leaving the torch on the dead grass she screams in horror as it catches the house on fire but as shes running out it seems her whole family has froze but the fire continues, She tries moving them but they won't budge but when she sees the shadow like figure for one of which she would assume her last times she holds a stare with it and after it breaks the stare her family unfroze she grabs her family harp looks behind her to see her family grabbing their things packing them up as if they didn't realize the fire had reached the roof she screams
"COME ON! WE HAVE TO GET OUT BEFORE IT BURNS US TO ASHES!"
Her family practically ignores her so she runs for the door in tears gripping onto her nearest possessions one of which is her family's magical harp said to have healing powers. She jumps for the door as the house comes crashing down behind her as she barely makes it to the lake shore fast enough she turns around to see her house burning and none of her family outside of the house, She begins crying as she watches her house burn to ashes along with her family she takes a moment and starts to use her satchel to try to hold the water from the lake and pour it on the fire to put it out, after multiple attempts she realizes its no use and goes back to the lake shore falls to her knees in tears shouting
"How could this happen to me every pony I love die right in front of me when I am so young, WHY ME?!?"
She gathers her belongings and runs for the ever free forest crying and not looking back.
