Chapter 5
Most of the walk home has been a slightly quiet one with only a few questions and comments back and forth. But you quickly change the pace of the walk as you finally bring yourself to the question that has been eating away at you sense you noticed the change in Twilight after Luna's comment. "Twilight, why would Violet not be able to do magic?"
The lavender pony's ears perk up to the question as she almost stops to turn back around to you, "...Unicorn foals are never supposed to have magic around them...." Her voice lowers as she takes her pace back to the street. "...But that didn't get to happen."
You listen to her words as you think over the light purple pony in your mind, maybe Violet doing magic is not the best thing...All magic has done for me was make me forget everything. You give a low sigh to the fact as you speak to the pony in front of you, "She might not be able to do magic?"
Twilight ignores the comment as she continues down the bustling streets.
Your mouth quivers as you anxiously wait for her answer, "Twilight?"
She stops as you both enter the side road, "A foal gets there own magic, some may just take a little longer than others." Twilight gives a low sweet smile as she looks away from you and back to the two story house at the end of the road.
Even though magic to you seems like a dangerous thing you can’t help but feel a heavy sorrow come over you as you look over the lavender mares almost forced smile....what's a unicorn without magic...
You may have set out on this vacation as a relaxing break from all the spells and question games. But now as you stand atop the hard stone roads of Canterlot grinding at the teeth in your head you beg at the memory gap to fill...
The first time you saw Violet's and Twilight's teary eyes in the library your dormant mind screamed out sending waves of emotion through you. But the sheer volume of them with no idea why made you not want to follow after them...you bring your head down a little as you think over how happy you were at getting a break.
Your pace picks up as you bring yourself to the mares side trying to push the guilty feeling back knowing that no matter how badly you want the void in your mind to fill, the gaping hole will only stay that...a hole. You voice is low as both of your eyes meet each over, "I'm sorry, Twilight."
She holds her head to you with a questioning stare, you know there's no way that she could know what you just battled within yourself and you also know that right now you don't really feel like talking. Instead you just give a smile to her as you bring your heavy head to the door of the building.
The silent street does not stay silent for long as you watch the door fling open to a tallish pink unicorn/pegasus much like Luna and Celestia. The pony has a large happy smile as her gold dark pink mane bounces with her energetic voice, "Twilight!"
Twilight stares at the pony almost in shock, but before she can say a word the pony has Twilight wrapped in a hug, "OH Twilight! Where so happy for you!"
The pink pony quickly lets go of the still shocked Twilight as her pale purple eyes move to you. She tries to clear her girly squeal as she holds her hoof out to you, "I'm Cadence Armor." Her wide eyed smile and happy expression draws a smile directed to you as she brings her hoof up to you.
You voice is still low as you try a friendly smile to the pony, "I'm sorry I don't remember you."
She gives a giggle as she shakes your hoof, "We have never met, but I have heard about you from Shi-..."
Twilight snaps out of her daze as she gives an almost nervous but cheerful laugh, "Cadence! W-what are you doing here?"
Cadence points her hoof to the white mare that struggles to come out of the door as she holds onto the squirming little filly in her grasp. "Velvet told us to come by."
The pink unicorn turns back to Twilight as her voice changes back to an almost girlish squeal, "How long were you pregnant?! I know we haven't seen each other since the wedding but Twilight that was not eleven months?"
Twilight stutters for a moment as she tries to think of a good place to start.
But before she can begin the pony cuts her off, "And Twilight how long have you two been together? Shinning only told me about you two a few months ago!"
Twilight again stammers to answer the pony who continues to riddle her with questions.
You feel a smile start to creep through your heavy mind as you watch the know it all Twilight struggling to answer.
Velvet finally breaks her soft voice through as she walks over to the two other mares, "Cadence we'll have plenty of time for questions when we get going." The white mare nudges Twilight to follow as she walks past her.
"Wait, where are we going?" Twilight stares at the two ponies confused as she shifts between the house and them.
"You're coming with us honey." Velvet stops with Cadence as she tries to adjust herself with the wiggling filly. Velvet looks down to her occupied hoof as she talks, "Twilight would you mind taking wiggle flank I think i'm too old for this."
"Hold on." Twilight quickly takes the satchel from herself as she holds it to you. You take the bag as you turn yourself to follow after them.
As Velvet sees you doing this she holds her now free hoof to the house as she talks, "Sorry honey I just need to talk to Twilight for a little."
You and Twilight give each other a look before you nod your head, "ok?"
Velvet points her hoof to the still slightly open door as she talks in her sweet voice, "Go on in."
You toss the bag over your back as you slowly make your way to the door, I guess that's good...not like I want to be around three mares anyways... You give the group one last look as Twilight gives the same confused look as you.
After a few seconds you bring yourself inside and close the door.
The house seems very very quite and all the windows look to be closed. As you make your way to the other room you start to feel a little creeped out.
Your feelings are brought to a point as you turn your head to the living room and stare at the two stallions looking directly at the opening of the hallway.
Night Light is sitting in a chair with his front hooves cupped in front of his face. But your eyes are more focused on the blue maned white stallion standing next to him...the stallion has a death stare almost fixed on you.
You try to hold a friendly smile as you stand in the room with a weird thought crossing your mind, this is how i'm going to die....
