//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: The Unnamed Filly // by Shady Mist //------------------------------// "AHHHHHHHH!" The orphans were awoken by a scream from downstairs. "what's going on?" One of them asked. "Just, go back in your rooms and stay there until I tell you you can come out!" Sunshine yelled. "Are we in trouble?" Another one asked. "Just go back in your rooms. Please." She said more calmly this time. Sunshine ran to the castle as fast as possible. "Princess! Princess! Princess Twilight, where are you?" She kept repeating before running into Starlight. "Sunshine? What is it?" Starlight asked. Sunshine was trying to breath. "It's Filly." She said. "What's wrong?" Starlight asked worryingly. Sunshine just lowered her head. Starlight frowned. "I'll take you to her." Starlight said, sadly. Starlight teleported them, as well as Spike, Pinkie and Fluttershy to Twilight's location. "Hah?" They all said, confused, not knowing what just happened. "Hah? Starlight, Sunshine, ... Sunshine, what's wrong?" Twilight asked, with everypony tuning to look at her. Sunshine was looking down, tears pouring from her eyes. Starlight put a hoof on her shoulder. Sunshine looked up, still crying. "It's Filly. She's... she's..." "Spike, tell the police we need them at the orphanage... with a coroner." Twilight said. She teleported them all outside the orphanage. "You don't have to go in if you don't want to." Twilight said. Sunshine, Starlight and Twilight went inside, Pinkie was staying outside with Fluttershy and Spike was waiting for the police and the coroner. The three mares inside wanted to look away from the site in front of them. A filly they tried to help, bleeding from the neck and holding a bloody knife in her hoof. They don't know how long they where just staring, until their attention was taken away when the police arrived. Twilight looked back at her, and then was heading back outside. Starlight and Sunshine followed shortly after. Some of the police went inside and others were interviewing the five mares and Spike. The coroner was wrapping Filly up in a body bag to take her to the morgue. Everypony was crying when they brought her out. When the police left, everypony went inside. There was a pool of blood in the kitchen. Fluttershy couldn't look, she was sitting, facing away while everypony else was cleaning. Sunshine was looking at the spot where she was and started crying again. Twilight grabbed her, giving her a gentle hug. "I'll pay for the funeral." Twilight said. Sunshine looked up and sniffed. "What?" She asked. "I'll pay for the funeral." Twilight repeated. The hug continued for several minutes, until she was interrupted by one of the orphans asking if she can come out yet. "Yes, you can come out now." Sunshine said. "You should go Princess. These foals are hungry, and it's almost lunch. And thank you." She said, still crying, but trying to hide it. Twilight went to visit Ruby Summer. "Ms. Summer, you have a visitor." A guard called out to her. "Princess Twilight? I wasn't expecting it to be you." She said, cheerfully. Twilight frowned. "Princess, what's wrong?" Ruby asked. "I'm sorry I have to tell you this but… Filly... is gone." Twilight said with a sad tone in her voice. "What? How?" She asked and started crying. "With a knife." Twilight answered. "You mean...?" "Yes." Twilight nodded. "I arranged a deal so you can attend her funeral." "Thank you, Princess. I just hope wherever she is now, she's happy." Said Ruby. The day of the funeral, Twilight Sparkle, Ruby Summer, Sunshine Velvet, Snow Lotus, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Fluttershy and all the orphans attended. "Her happy days, have come to an end." Twilight thought to herself, paraphrasing something another pony said in the past. Before she remembered something Ruby said. "I just hope wherever she is now, she's happy." Twilight didn't know what to think, she couldn't think, all she could think about was Filly. Hours have past and ponies were starting to leave. Everypony couldn't help but cry their entire way home, while Ruby was escorted back to prison, tears rolling down her face. As time past things got easier and almost things got back to normal, but truly... Things will never be normal, not after everything that happened with them, and a pony named Filly. The End.
