Twilight Narrates

I trotted through my castle. Everypony I had loved. Dead. Blood trickled down Rainbow Dash's muzzle. Half of a knife's blade stuck out of Rarity's chest. Fluttershy's wings, detached, lay on the ground, her head cut off her body. Pinkie's eyeballs had been removed from their sockets, her flesh stabbed where her cutie mark once was. Applejack, her hat ripped and stained with blood, lay lifeless on the steps of my castle. Her forehooves lay about a meter away, veins and arteries sticking out.

"I heard you're supposed to be keeping the sky clear," I sighed, my hair curled up and messy, "I'm Twilight Sparkle and the princess sent me to check on the weather." Rainbow Dash was resting on a cloud, her hooves behind her head. She ushered her hoof to me dismissively, " "Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap! I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon as I'm done practicing." "Practicing for what?" I asked. "THE WONDERBOLTS!" she declared enthusiastically, pointing her hoof at a Wonderbolt poster nearby, "They're gonna perform at the celebration tomorrow and I'm gonna show 'em my stuff!" With that, she did 3 quick air flips and sat on a cloud. 

"The Wonderbolts?" I said in a taunting voice. "Yup," she retorted, now resting on a cloud once more. "The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?" I said. "That's them!" she said with tons of confidence. "Pff...please! They'd never accept a pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day," I teased, turning my head. "Hey! I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat!" she stated. "Prove it," I said, with a competitive look upon my face. I smirked. She reciprocated the smirk and took off, flying ever so fast, clearing the clouds along the way. It took her 9.7 seconds to be exact. My mouth fell agape. 

"Good afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle-" I began. Applejack began to shake my hoof fervently. "Well how'd you do, Miss Twilight? A pleasure makin' yer acquaintance. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making friends," she said, still shaking my hoof with energy coursing through her veins. I was dizzy. "Friends? Actually I..." 

"Come on Twilight, try!" Spike said. "Hello," I said to Pinkie. She looked at me with absolute shock, gasped and fled.

Rarity jumped upon me and gasped, "Twilight, darling!" I looked at her. "WHERE'S YOUR CROWN?" "It's in my bag," I said. "Oh, if I had a crown like that, I would wear it everywhere, even while I would sleep!" she said, flipping her mane. 

"Fluttershy," she said, trying to tell her name. "I'm sorry, I couldn't quite catch that," I retorted. She squeaked,"Fluttershy." I still didn't get that. That's when she saw Spike. She quickly ran up to him and started talking to him, admiring him.

Tears came out of my eyes, I felt like I could flood all of Equestria with them. Why was I alive? I shouldn't have survived. I walked further and saw Spike, every one of his scales pulled off his body. My heart ached so bad. My body shook like crazy. I was alone in this world. Everypony had died. 

"I don't think you're supposed to be any different than who you are," I told Spike, concerned. "Maybe you just don't like that I have a real parent now,"he said, pointing at me, threateningly. It broke my heart.

As I limped forward, my eyes met Shining Armor's corpse. My BBBFF. I never even imagined how life would be without him. He'd always been by my side. I screamed, my voice echoing through the castle walls.

"Twily, we better go to sleep," said 10 year old Shining Armor. I was five. I jumped onto his back. "I'm bored! Tell me a story, big bro!" I yawned. It was midnight. "Hmm...Once upon a time, there lived a magical tree that would eat ponies-"he began. I began to tremble. "You know I get scared, Shiny! Something else!" I cut in. He pulled me close to himself with his right hoof and I fell asleep in his embrace.

I was engrossed in a book. I bumped into Shining Armor, who was 11 years old at the time. My eyes sparkled at the sight of him.  He made me so happy that I began jumping around him. He laughed happily. He picked me up and ruffled my mane. I giggled and we hugged each other.

Tears fell down my eyes like a waterfall. I saw my former babysitter and sister-in-law, Cadance hugging Flurry Heart, my niece. Both of them had perished. They lay in a puddle of blood, with Celestia and Luna's bodies chopped into pieces nearby. My heart hurt so bad. I teleported myself out of the castle, screaming in agony.

"But, I don't wanna make friends," I groaned. Celestia hugged me with her wing. "You've been doing exceedingly well in your studies but it's time you make friends." 

I wanted to stop thinking about them. But I couldn't. I looked around. More dead bodies. Everypony had died. I had no point of being alive. Sure, I had defeated Chrysalis once and for all by killing her, I couldn't get anypony back. I saw  Mom and Dad lying on the ground. Through muffled sobs, a choked sob escaped my snout, "I miss you." With that, I collapsed onto the ground, the world blurring behind me.
