Oh my gosh! I really am the worst friend any pony could wish for! You guys would probably want to know what happened, so here goes:
I was in my cottage tending to the creatures that lived there, changing their water and toilets; the storm outside was terrible, the other Pegasi had really got it over the top. For some strange reason, it was more like a blizzard than any thing; A blizzard of snow, I mean.
Twilight said she would come over using teleportation, because Spike wasn't feeling well; the poor thing had swallowed a quill by mistake, and even though he said he was fine after the operation, Twilight wanted me to check him up. I had an uneasy feeling though, as if something would go wrong.
Angel told me to stop worrying, get on with fixing Mr. Falcon's wing; "Thank you Angel; You always help me don't you?" I tickled him under his chin, and he smiled. Ever since I got Angel, I was never ever alone: I still remember how I got him.
It was a night like any other, I suppose; It was unusually hot outside, and there was no water left at my cottage. I wandered through the forest until I saw the lake. I walked up to it's sparkling depths and put my wooden bucket into the water; when I took it out again I noticed a white furry ear sticking out of a black current bush. I waited for a few minutes, and a white bunny tumbled out, it's face covered in black current juice. It's mother was no where in sight and I decided to give it a little bath in my bucket; the bunny looked like a cute little angel, that's where I got her name.
The doorbell rang and my thoughts were interrupted; I opened the door. A soaking wet Twilight came in, much to my surprise; couldn't unicorns use magic to keep themselves dry?
"Fluttershy!" Twilight coughed; "Outside- the storm wasn't made by Pegasi! It's Wendigos!" I gasped and motioned Twilight to sit on the couch while I fetched her and Spike (who was shivering beside her) some towels and hot water bottles. Twilight sneezed, and burst into speech;
"Fluttershy, remember the book I told you to read?"
"Yes, I-"
"Did you read it?"
"Yes-"
"Don't panic when I tell you, but she's back. The Crimson Mare is back for revenge!"
"Twilight, does that mean?-"
"Yes, she is going to murder me, but I'm prepared: my Element of Harmony is here-" She gestured to a leather-bound box, "My Will is in my bedroom closet and I found out WHO THE LOST ALICORN IS!" She shouted the last five words.
"Who is it? Is it Rarity? Or Rainbow Dash? Or A.J or Pinkie? Who?" I spoke with excitement.
"No! It's you Fluttershy!"
I was stunned by this news; "Does that mean-" I whispered.
"Yes. When I die, your horn will appear, and you will be two Elements, the Element of Magic and the Element of Kindness."
There was a pause; tears started to come out of my eyes. "I don't want you to die Twilight! Your one of my best friends and like a sister to me!"
A tear came out of Twilights eye and rolled down her cheek;
"I don't want to go either, but I want you and Equestria to live; remember the plan: the Crimson Mare will come here to mare-nap me, but you won't be here;
Spitfire will tell Rainbow Dash to go to the Princess who is already mare-napped and was forced to write a letter explaining her absence.
Rainbow will read it, then see Gilda who is informed on the plan by the Princess;
Rainbow will distract the Crimson Mare will every pony evacuates PonyVille for the time being.
You, mean while, keep the Wendigos under control with your magic; even though you don't have a horn yet, you can still use magic. Just think happy thoughts and you can keep the Wendigos at bay.
I will secretly drain my powers by protecting every pony in PonyVille with a shield spell, including the animals; that way, we can trick the Mare and survive her attack!" Twilight finished triumphantly.
I stifled a sob; "Twilight I'm so sorry! I shouldn't be crying but I just can't hold myself!"
"I understand; five minutes until the Mare comes!" She added with worry; "Quickly, go, go,go!"
I hugged her and flew out the window at top speed; just when I was flying over Carousel Boutique, I heard a pop in the distance: Part one of plan A worked.
I thought really hard of good times: being at the spa with Rarity, helping A.J buck apples with Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie, cheering for Rainbow at the "Best Flier" competition, Helping Rainbow pick her best pet, helping Twilight tidying the library, helping her furry little friends, making a surprise birthday party for Pinkie, getting her cutie mark-
I felt fuzzy little sparks inside me, building more and more momentum until- BOOM!
A pink sort of light was coming from what I recognised as my Element: but I didn't remember putting it on. The pink light enveloped me in a bubble, raising me higher and higher until I was level with a Wendigo; It's scary brutish face looked at me in peace. I spoke in a sort of echo-like voice: "Why are you here?"
The Wendigo blinked; "A Mare of Crimson brought us here, she won't let us have our peace; we tried to stop her from controlling us but she had no mercy: we are trapped here, like rabbits in a sack. I sense you are more than just a Pegasus, my feathered friend; are you the Alicorn that legend speaks of as a saviour?"
I trembled slightly before speaking up; "I think so, Mr. Wendigo; I wish you no harm, but I do not know how to undo this enchantment."
The Wendigo nodded, it's breath curling like steam; "Please, call me Silver Wind, O Great Alicorn; The legend repeats that you will be able to restore peace in troubled times when the Element of Magic dies at the hoof of the Mare of Crimson. You are the Element of Kindness, soon to be also the bearer of the Element of Magic; your friend is a great unicorn, sacrificing herself for Equestria. Her after life will be great."
I shivered as Silver Wind's breath passed near me; "Thank you Silver Wind; You are a great help. My friend was talented and good, her choices rarely bad; Thank you so very much."
Silver Wind bowed and I gently floated back to earth; there was barely any ponies about because most evacuated the village.
A cruel voice rang out; "The Element of Magic is all most dead; your leaders have deserted their posts, citizens of PonyVille. There is a Alicorn amongst you commoners; bring her to me, or suffer my wrath."
As suddenly as it came, the voice went, replaced by a new one: Twilight's. It was a long drawn out scream. I could just see a lavender pony falling gracefully to earth; I wanted to save her, to catch her. But I knew I couldn't; Twilight sacrificed her own life as to save many others, and if I saved her, she would have died in vain.
Hot tears poured down my cheeks as Twilight hit the ground with a muffled THUMP; I heard another yell. Pinkie's. I couldn't make out what she shouted because a loud "pop" filled my ears; a I looked into a puddle of melted snow I saw that their was now a horn on my head.
I will never forgive myself; Never. Twilight is dead and it's completely my fault. Christmas now meant a funeral, mourn and my friends attitude; That would be if I could face Twilight's funeral. I used my magic to bring myself a hand kerchief and dabbed at my eyes with it. I would never forget Twilight. Ever.
