We all stared at the limb on the floor. It still twitched from time to time as a mist of shadows seeped out of it. “Do I even want to know?” Bullseye asked as he stood in the doorway.
“Probably not.” His sister answered. Everyone one flinched as the leg twitched once again. Misty was rocking back and forth in the corner and muttering to herself. I slowly left my spot on the floor and sat beside her. As I wrapped my wing around her she leaned into me and stopped shivering.
“I don’t even know what to say!!” Starswirl looked furious and confused. “Why would you be so reckless!” I opened my mouth to explain but remembered that wouldn't work. I sighed and levitated a piece of paper and an inkwell from a desk in the corner. I pulled out a feather and dipped it in ink. ‘I didn't mean to! I just meant to find it.’ I wrote. Starswirl sighed a rubbed his forehead. “Ok, ok. It was a mistake. You didn't know it could do that. And I didn't tell you.” He looked back at the limb on the ground and rubbed his head again. “We need to get rid of this before someone finds it.” Starswirl's horn lit up and with a POP the limb disappeared. “There! Now it’s gone. I’m going back to bed. We leave early tomorrow.” With that he walked back to his room. Celestia nervously followed him while Luna came over to me.
“It's ok. It was an accident!” She hugged me then hurried out the door. Adorable.
“Soooo. Ya need anything?” Bullseye asked awkwardly. I just shook my head and he and his sister walked out the door.
“What happened!!?? Is everything....ok?” Healing and Lavender stopped at the door and stared at the mess in the room. Me practically cradling Misty, the scratches on the floor, and the small spots of dark blood. “What happened!?” Lavender screeched.
“Sorry it took us so long, we were at the other end of the building.” Healing apologized. “Are you hurt?” I shook my head. “And her?” Again, I shook my head. “Do you need anything? All we heard was screaming.” I simply waved to the door and lay my head on the wall. “Ok. Ok, try to get some sleep. Tell us what happened in the morning.” They left slowly, looking unsure about leaving. This is gonna be a long night.
Sometime during the night i realized something. I missed video games. There's only so much you can do for a whole night while you're holding someone else. Speaking of someone else. Misty had finally fallen asleep. I guess she was more shook up about the attack on the town than we knew. A lot more. She cried for a long time before she started just sniffling. That town was her home, and the thing destroyed it. I would be pretty sad to. I had rocked her to sleep, so now all I could do was stare at the wall and drift through my thoughts. And even that wasn't entertaining. Oh my god...I have never wanted the sun to rise more than I do now. Such a long night ahead....
