Dementia's Decay

Sorrow

I decided to go outside this morning. I wanted to identify the bodies of the killer and victim from last night's horrifying event, now that the sun was out. If I would've known who the ponies were, I would never have wanted to go and see for myself.

The killer was indeed a pegasus. A pegasus I knew as my friend. A pegasus named Rainbow Dash.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her lying on the ground, neck split open by her own hoof. She remained on the ground, motionless and devoid of life, as her eyes remained staring off into space, as they were last night when she stared at me. The killing instrument lied next to her body, drenched in a gleaming pool of blood.

I remained still for a few minutes, tears streaming from my eyes as I could only look upon her dead body. I had lost another one of my dearest friends to this insanity that seemed to spread further with every passing day.

I got up, and ran over to the grassy hill, where Dash's victim lay dead. I was horrified to find out who this pony was. It was another one of my closest friends. The victim's body belonged to Fluttershy.

Multiple gaping chest wounds continued to stream small amounts of blood, while she lied in a pool of what had managed to seep out overnight. The stare still remained in her eyes as well, and it was the one time I was sad that it wasn't her "normal" stare.

That's three of my best friends, now taken from me.

I feel like such a coward. I could've stopped this from happening. If I would've stepped in... maybe none of them would be dead. The guilt is overbearing. I just let this happen while I watched from my safe little shelter.

I need to check on my other friends. Hopefully they haven't fallen under the same fate.
