Hey all! I moved a few weeks ago and it turned out the place I moved into had bedbugs, so I've been super busy moving and re-buying everything and haven't had much time to write. I'll give y'all a small preview to tide ya over~ ^^

The Sirens Den

"{My name is Sunset Shimmer. I'm a… daemon… made by… Discord… from Equestria.}" Sunset awkwardly fumbled over the words coming out of her mouth, but still received a sitting ovation from the girl sitting across from her.

"Yay! Good job, Sunset! You learn real quick!" Sonata cheered and Sunset couldn't help but smile at the genuine compliment she had received.

A few days had now passed since Sunset started staying with the Sirens, and true to their words they were treating her like a sister. They were teaching her their ancient dialect of Equestrian, and she was surprising them with how quickly she was picking it up. Thankfully the modern Equestrian language was incredibly easy to reverse engineer back to her new hosts' native tongue.

Sonata had been by Sunset for both the days, staying behind to take care of Sunset while Adagio and Aria went off to CHS. Sunset wished she could do something for Octavia and the others, and was on edge wanting to reach out to Vinyl, but she couldn't without a private phone of some sort. But those were minor compared to her biggest fear.

"So… Do you think they might bring my journal home tonight?" Sunset asked, causing Sonata to freeze up as usual and leaving Sunset to sigh in defeat. "I thought I was supposed to be a sister of you three?"

"...Adagio and Aria…" Sonata started, stopping to face Sunset. "All three of us really want to go home- as I'm sure you do too."

"Well, yeah." Sunset nodded, her heart clenching at the sorrowful expression Sonata wore. "But what does my journal have to do with that?"

"Well… It radiates Equestrian Magic." Sunset's blood froze. "And it seems to be connected to the statue in the middle of the school grounds."

"What? It's just a random journal I picked up in this world when I first arrived." Sunset had to make sure to speak calmly, so as to not potentially alert Sonata to something being up. "I've had it my whole life, so maybe that's why it radiates Magic."

Sonata smiled sadly resting a hand on Sunset's good leg and looking deep into her eyes. "I'm sure they're just trying to make sure… That's all."

"...Why are you so different from the other two, Sonata?"

"Huh?"

Sunset motioned at the blue girl. "You're different from Adagio and Aria. You're always the first to jump in to help me, you stay here taking care of me while those two go to the school. How come?"

"I'm not thaaat different." Sonata chuckled awkwardly. "I mean- I'm the one who broke up that green and cream girl, and when the white and grey one's stepped in I made them fight too."

"You what!?" Sunset sprung to her feet in anger before reality kicked in and she screamed in agony and fell to the ground, her head bouncing painfully off of something before she came to rest gritting her teeth and grasping at her ankle as stars swam in front of her eyes.

"Sunset! What are you doing!?" Sonata's voice sounded as if Sunset was ten feet underwater, but the concern was crystal clear.

"Why did you do it to them!?" Sunset mumbled as she heard a door open, her vision starting to darken. "They're… my only... friends!"

"Friends?" Sonata's voice wavered as the sound of racing footsteps and confused shouting guided Sunset into painless unconsciousness.
