//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 - "It was an accident" - Part 1 // Story: An unexpected friendship // by Shadow SSS //------------------------------// “This can’t be happening!” There was no way that whatever was happening all around you could be true! Either you have gone completely mad, or the Ragnarök has finally commenced and this is the end. You are too young to die, you won’t accept this. Weird monster like vines were going after students all around you, both from Crystal Prep and some from Canterlot Highschool. How could the games turn into this? Portals to other dimensions, killer looking vines, and you were in the middle of it all. There was no escaping this one, no matter where you looked, there was no way out. For a brief moment, however, you were distracted by one particular person. Laying on the ground only a few feet away from you was Twilight Sparkle. There was no doubt that she had either hurt herself or did something while running from this things. That, or she had already been killed and you were just staring at her dead corpse. You really hoped it was not the latter. That is the last thing you need in your life right now. Unfortunately, there is only one way to find out. You could easily confirm that she was holding completely still as you got closer, her eyes were closed and she didn’t seem to be breathing. Now you were nervous. You never got to apologize for hurting her… Did she just die having made no friends? Luckily for you, as soon as you kneeled down next to her and picked her up, she shot her eyes open and began coughing like if she was granted a second chance on her life all of the sudden. “Twilight can you hear me? You need to get up. We need to get out of here as soon as possible” Normally you would give a person who was laying on the ground like this a minute to breath and get back to normal, but this was no normal situation. Both of your lives could be ended now by one of those things if you were spotted. As you were pulling her up to get going, she quickly pressed her hands against your chest and pushed you away from her with all of her strength and got up on her own. Maybe the initial shock of the situation had shaken her up? Or maybe she was still mad at you. Whatever it was, at least she could still look after herself it seemed, which meant that running away would be easier “Come on” “... You caused this...” Her words were cold and sharp like a dagger that was stabbing your ears. What did she mean by that? This was no time to be shocking around, but… her dead and cold stare on the ground confirmed that this was no joke. She probably meant those words, even though you had no idea how this situation even came to be. “Don’t be absurd, we need to get out” You yelled trying to get some senses back on her brain as you reached out for her, but another gambogeish hand stopped you by grabbing your wrist and pulling you away from her. Once you got a good look at who that person was, you could see that the hand belonged to Indigo Zap, who was glaring at you with Lemon behind her as she folds her arms. Neither of them looked happy nor worried. “Haven’t you hurt her enough already, you jerk? Can’t you just leave her alone!?” Indigo growled as she stepped in-between you and Twilight to make sure you wouldn't get close to her again. “And to think that I considered you cool and fun to be around. I realize now that the girls were right. All you want to do is mess with others. You are just a big jerk” Lemon grumbled, mainly to herself as she looked away, but it was loud enough for you to hear it as well. “What? B-but… but I’m not a-“ “Oh save it" She spat "First you ruin Sour’s uniform, then you slam into her hurting her back when she hit the lockers on the hallway, offended me, lied and used Twilight just so she would do your work for you, and now you try and hurt her?” Before you could answer any of that, Sour Sweet got in the picture as well with a big fake smile “Oh but dear, it was just an accident… THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY, RIGHT PUNK? I’M NOT BUYING IT! WHY DO IT TWICE IN A ROW IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT?” “The sooner you realize you are lying to both us and yourself, the sooner you will be able to just move on and let us be happy. Don’t you see that you ruin everything around you? I personally think that you should just leave. All you’ve done since you got here is fuck up... excuse my language” Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat where the last ones to join in. At least Sugarcoat had nothing to say, but her stare was more frightening than any words that she could tell you at the moment. You guess that the phrase “One look is worth a thousand words” is actually true. Her mouth may not be moving, but you could feel how she was judging you. And it wasn't pleasing... “Girls I swear, it was all a big accident. I did not mean any of that to happen” That is what you want to believe, but maybe you were wrong? It wouldn’t be the first time that you were wrong about something and you subconsciously avoid looking for a solution and changing your ways to be a better person. And here is when Twilight lost it. “Then why didn’t you say anything when I asked you if you were like the rest? Why haven’t you denied about using me when I asked you about it? If it was true that you were my friend and you were not just using me! Why hide the truth? Because if this is a matter of being an accident or not Anon, I need you to tell me?” Twilight was inches away from your face right now. She was staring right into your eyes as flames fueled her soul. She wanted to keep on going, but she knew better. She knew she had to give you a chance to redeem yourself, and maybe she would forgive you. Maybe she would understand? All you had to do was tell the truth, explain that you just have a little social anxiety just like she does, and when she confronted you about this topic, you just got too nervous. That is all you had to say… but once again, the words were caught up on your throat and you remain silent. “So it is true…” “No” “You were just using me. You were just using all of us” “No…” “You were just using Lemon for her popularity right? You wanted to use her to become popular and then dump her? Or even use Sunny to get close to Cynch to make your life easier?” “I wasn-“ “Where you going to use Indigo and Sour Sweet to fit in on the athletic and archery team as well?” The fact that everytime you tried to explain to her that all this was a misunderstanding but she kept on cutting you off not giving you a chance to answer was annoying you quite a lot. You really needed to talk. You had to get it out of your system somehow. “No, Twilight, I…“ “Sugarcoat is the smartest girl here. Were you going to dump me to go and seek her help once you were done with me?” That’s it. If she was not going to listen you would need to be a bit more assertive. You had to make sure she stops interrupting you, so you close your eyes, took a deep breath and yelled as loud as your lungs allowed you. “I. SAID. NO!” What a mistake that was. If things were bad before, they would only get worse now. Sure you finally made her listen. Probably the whole school heard you said this as well, but what you were not expecting is to well… let allof that anger that was accumulating inside of you out as well. Your body had reacted on its own and as soon as you opened your eyes, you immediately began shaking with fear and regret as your heart sink into the deepest chambers of the underworld. Twilight was once again on the floor, but this time, she was bleeding, her glasses were next to her completely shattered, the girls around her checking to see if she was okay, Indigo holding her up into a tight hug as Twilight cried her eyes out. Her nose was bleeding like a waterfall not giving signs of stopping. To make things matter, you knew this time it was your fault… another ‘accident’ of yours. And you knew it was your fault for one particular reason. Your knuckles were in pain and covered with blood,and you know full well whose blood it was. “WHAT THE FUCK DUDE?” Yelled Indigo as she rip part of her uniform to try and cover Twilight’s nose to avoid any more blood from spilling out as she rocked her back and forth to try and calm her down from the shock of being punched in the face. “Oh great. He finally lost it. I KNEW HE WOULD ONLY BRING TROUBLE” Sour Sweet said as she did her best to try and help Indigo with Twilight’s treatment. Sunny was too shocked to be able to do anything. She was just holding back, letting the girls do the work as she looked around for anyone to help them, but no one seemed to be close by, sadly. Sugarcoat was not going to be so patient however “I’m going to get help” She simply stated as she rushed away to find a nurse, the principals, other students. Anyone would do. “I’m coming with you, I don’t want to be anywhere near this freak anymore” Lemon said as she rushed next to Sugarcoat, putting as much distance between both of you as her legs allowed her. You on your side, you were completely stunned. You didn’t want to believe it. You just punched Twilight in the face. Your probably broke her nose, and she was most likely never going to forgive you now. Maybe it was true what Sour Sweet said. Maybe all you bring into other’s peoples life is trouble. You had to help her. It’s the least you could do. You began to approach her slowly so neither of the girls would flip out thinking you were going to hurt her again as you tried to remain calm and try not to crack your voice too much as you speak “Twilight… I’m really sor-“ “SHUT UP!” She yelled making you stop right where you stand as she slowly stood up even though Indigo tried to stop her so she would not hurt herself even more, but she was not giving in. She was determined to stand up and give you a big shove in the middle of your chest “Get… get away from m-me you… asshole” She pushed you again, and even though this time it was weaker, for some reason it was enough to make you fall down on your back. It was weird, but you could have sworn that she smirked. She was smiling as wings sprawled out of her back, a long flame looking horn grew out of her forehead and her glasses also turned firey along with her hair. She almost looked like a demon of some sort, but before you could give it a second look, you hit the ground and everything went dark. Once you regained consciousness, no one was there. None of the girls were around. None of those vines nor students were running around. The screams of panic were gone and all you could hear is the soft ticking of a clock somewhere. You did recognize one thing however… you were in the middle of your room, next to your bed to be precise. Had it all been a dream? Did none of this really happen? Part of you was relieved, but at the same time worried. It all felt too real… and those words they told you. Maybe they were right? Even if it all happen in a dream, maybe they were not wrong? You were just a mess up that only brings trouble and despair to those around you? No You had to stay positive… you can still fix this, there is still time. Speaking of which, what time was it? Your phone almost blind you as soon as you turned it on the light hit your face, but as soon as your sight got used to the light level, you could see it showed 03:42AM. Too early to get up and head to school, and way too early to call Twilight… not like she will answer you. You had called her 7 times that afternoon when you could not find her anywhere after your classes were over, but all your calls ended up in her mailbox. You didn’t just want to leave her a message either. You wanted to tell her personally that you did not mean to hurt her like this, but you never could. Maybe you should just let it go. But that would not be right. You can’t hold this back anymore, you have to tell her before it’s too late. She needs you, you need her, and both of you could use a moment to talk about this properly. “Do it” It was not too hard… you were unprepared last time, but not now… you had to get your shit together and… “Just do it!”
