prologue-Headaches

Everything; I could hear, see, and feel...everything. Sunset panicked

I didn't even need to touch them to read their minds.

Hundreds no thousands of thoughts, voices, images, and emotions all forcing their way in her head.

The crowd, I have to escape the crowd, but my legs wont move, the air was heavy full of constant noise every witch way.

The walls of the building began to bend around her surrounding her closing in on her suffocating her and no one else seemed to notice or care.

"Help, someone please help me!" Sunset murmured, The crowd didn't seem to notice, there faces indistinct no one sunset could recognized but their minds unknowingly crushing her senses leaving her numb.

"Twilight, girls anyone help me !" Sunset barely screamed.

No response, until.

"All right gals are rides here ready to go." came a voice, AJ ?

Sunset franticly looked around following the voice through the cacophony of thoughts, looking around she sees them walking away oblivious to Sunsets pain.

Sunset was on the ground now, the weight of the crowd suffocating her barley able to get a whisper out as she closed her eyes.

Waking up from her nightmare sunset was breathing heavily, her head pounding like a drum.

"Damn it, again." Sunset cursed, it was early morning the sunlight barely peeking out of the horizon, as if on instinct she dragged her feet heading to the kitchen turning on the fossette letting the water get warm before cupping the water in her hands she began wiping her face, it was only then she realized she was crying, in the end she just stood still for what felt like hours looking at her reflection hare a mess and eyes run ragged with sleepless bags and endless tears.

Sunset forgot how long its been sense she's had a full nights sleep but it was to long for her taste's and her head was still banging away at her.

"Where the hell was that aspirin " sunset groaned rummaging through the cabinet only to realize it was empty she must have used up the last of the pain killers without realizing it, and it was a Monday too god damn it all.

"Just one more thing for the groser..ey oh shit its Monday" sunset exclaimed checking the time, the clock read as 6:42 AM
"shit shit shit, I'm gonna be late " sunset panicked garbing her things, it was the last week of finals and she was not letting summer vacation slip away Headaches be dammed.


Mornings were never cool Rainbow Dash thought, morning runs on the other hand made it about 20% cooler, getting that sweet sweet adrenalin rush to get away from that sleepy groggy feeling was just the trick, coupled with the fact that this was the last week she had before she could finally escape from the high school life and on to some summer fun, and maybe collage but who cares about that, collage was a whole summer away.

Checking her watch Rainbow Dash saw that it was about 6:54 the bell was about to ring and she could see CHS just in the distance "Welp lets put this in high gear Dash grinned leaving a rainbow trail as she sped up to a full Olympic sprint, in a matter of seconds Rainbow was at the front of the building doing her best rocky impression at the stares, taking a swig of her water she looked at her watch 6:55 and with time to spare.

As rainbow was about to head in she heard a raspy "Hey Dash" turning around she saw what looked like a half dead Sunset leaning on an armrest breathing heavily "wh..at.sss ...up.." sunset heaved falling down to the floor.

"Ah crap, quick take this" said dash handing sunset the rest of her water

"Than...k..yo..u." Sunset breathed before drowning herself in with the offered drink.

"You ok sunny, you look like crap ?" asked Dash looking Sunset over.

"Gee thanks." Sunset deadpanned getting up from the floor.

Dash shook her head saying "No I'm serious you don't.." And then the bell rang, 7:00

"FUCK !" they both yelled.


As the bell rang Ms. Cherrilee began handing out everyone there finals and pencils giving everyone a few minutes to prepare, alright everyone toda...

SLAM "Were heeeere!!! Dash yelled kicking the door open"

Wincing Ms. Cherrilee immediately turned to the loud girl hands on her hips scowling at rainbow ready to chew her out for not only being far to loud this early in the morning and being late for todays final.... until she saw what Rainbow was carrying only to blink and ask "Why are carrying sunset like a sack of potatoes ?"

oblivious to Cherrilee's moment of anger Dash replied "Faster that way ,right sunny" said Dash

"Uu..UH..h......" sunset groaned

"Oh right, sure thing come on sunny." said Rainbow Dash brining sunset over to her seat before heading to her own seat.

"All right everyone" calls out Cherrilee "Id say we've had enough...distractions for today, this is the last day of this class for the semester, and id like to say how impressed I am of everyone this year and I have high expectations for everyone for some of you this may even be are last day at the school all together you have one hour and fifteen minutes, ready...go."

At the go a cacophony of pencils to paper hit Sunsets ears jolting her up from her stupor, looking around she realized she was stuck in the center of the room, feeling uneasy surrounded by a crowd unable to speak a word as the tap tap tap , the room began to bend around her closing in around her, just like...

"No no no." Sunset thought shaking her head "Its not like that, I just need to finish the paper and leave the room."

And then the headaches returned.

"Damn it." Sunset thought her head beginning to pound harder "This is going to be a long day."
