//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Misty's Library Night // Story: Zombie Land Equestria: Revenge // by TheRayH //------------------------------// Misty was trapped, the Library's door closed behind them and it wouldn't open until the early morning. She was hyperventilating, she wouldn't know how Opaline would react at her absesnce and she should get out of there as soon as possible. Misty tried to search for a way out, she found a ventilation... but it was too small for her to fit inside and there is no other door that could be forgotten to be open. "Oh no... this is bad! Opaline is going to be really mad at me; this is not ok!" Her worries took over her mind, while her breathing were getting heavier each second; looking around her constantly. She remembered she was in a library, Canterlot High's library; she may find something about the Rainbooms. "Maybe, if i can find information... That would be good for her" She looked for the yearbooks section, Canterlot High has a copy of each since a year they decided it was a good idea to keep a yearbook of everything happening; before it also became something more than just a high school. Misty took one of the books and after opening it... it was a little far in time as they depicted Sunset as a strange behaviour girl; that asked for daisy sandwiches, whatever that meaned. The next yearbook, spoke first about the magical intercourse they found with students getting powers or mass mind control. "Wow, they went through a lot" Misty kept reading yearbooks, finding about when they confronted evil singers, a principal with bad game behavior, a camp director consumed by the power of magic... basically everything they went against were people consumed by the power of magic that went a little out of hand. "Magic looks scary..." Misty thought to herself, before grabbing another yearbook and finding out a yearbook where she spotted a picture of Opaline with a little story underneath. "A misterious woman appeared at Canterlot High, with airs of greatnes and calling herself the one we should admire. She just said the name 'Arcana' and nothing else but a warning that as soon as they leave their guard down, everything would be as it should Misty was confused, Opaline stated that no one took her seriously at CHS when she showed her power; but there was no mention of that use of power at any point. What to believe? She liked the Rainbooms, she's fine with Sunny and their friends doing their things for friendship and unity, she hold the yearbook against her chest and her knees presing against it too; she needs advice but who to get it from? She had the perfect one, but she still had to wait until morning to the library to open the doors, also she couldn't sleep. She left the yearbook on the shelf and walked around the library, spotting old pictures of Canterlot High and relatively old newspapers; the one on top had a title of a lost child about fifteen years ago and that couldn't be found, Misty felt bad for that poor child and it's family after reading that, kinda felt familiar... then a sudden flashback filled her mind, she was just there walking by in a foggy street; suddenly a huge shine blinds her before the flashback ends. "W-wha...What just happened?" Misty got shocked, she wasn't expecting a flashback, she was holding at a table; as she got scared by it she preffered to not do anything else and just wait until the early morning to get out of the library. Finally morning arrived, Misty heard the keys opening the library doors; she sneaked her way out so no one knew she was there; but she needed to find one person to help her with a doubt she has. She walked te halls in search of Zipp, who so far has been the one that talked to her more; she saw her at her locker and runned towards her enthusiastic. "Zipp!" She called her, who closed the locker and saw Misty running closer to her. "Well, if it isn't the misterious Misty" She joked on her, making her stop where she was and make an awkward smile. "Heh, calm down. I'm just messing with you. Fancy seeing you here, haven't seen you since you came to the performance made a few weeks back" "Oh, that's because i come here to the library mostly and i study at home" She wasn't lying at all, Opaline teached her since she was younger and she escapes when she has some time to be in the library and read some books that Opaline may not let her for any reason she could give her. "I kinda need an advice, because something weird happened to me; it was so sudden that i don't know what to do" "I'm all ears, tell me what it is about" Zipp's voice was welcoming, she lead misty to a close by bench; then she started to tell her everything she saw on her slight vision and her overall worries. Misty's eyes looked down at the floor, she forgot she was wearing the clothes that she bought with Zipp, arching a grin on her face. "Misty... i'm really glad you talked with me. Did you had something like that before?" "No, it's the first time and i don't know what it even means" Frustration grew a little on Misty, as she felt different since the moment she saw the Rainbooms and knew about their secret because of Opaline. "Zipp, i'm not sure what i'm feeling. I've ben told things but they're not as i expected and... i'm not sure what to think of!" She took her hands to the head and then felt Zipp's arms around her, a very welcoming hug. "You've been through much, didn't you?" Zipp asked and then Misty broke into tears but without any cries, just silent tears running down her face; there was such kindness in the world? How didn't she knew about it earlier? She felt comfortable and hold Zipp's hand and pushed them a little tighter to her, if that's what hugs where; Misty didn't wanted it to end. "Zipp!" It was Pipp, she shouted from the other side of the hall and ran all the way to where zip was. "There you are sis, did you forgot that we have a practice with the band in... oh, my; sorry i didn't knew you were recomforting someone" Pipp apologized to Misty, she recognized her because Zipp mentioned her earlier a few days back. "I'm sorry, i get too much excited when it comes to music related things. It's good to finally meet you" Misty cleaned the tears from her face. "It's ok, also nice to meet you as well" Misty smiled to her, while Pipp hold Zipp to drag her to the music room; Misty jumped off the bench and looked at them. "W-wait... could i join you?" She asked to the sisters, Pipp's face went from sudden shock to a wide smile. "Well girl of course! Come here!" Pipp called Misty with her small singy tone she makes when she's happy, the shy girl joined both and then reached the music room; where all the Rainbooms where, chatting and giggling over things, Sunny had problems to keep her eyes open froms taying awake on the last night. Misty knew the Rainbooms secret and much more than they would know at first sight, but she had no plan on telling them... after all she felt like she was in a more welcoming home than her actual home, what does she have to believe now?
