June 1st
I did it. I don't know why. I don't know what. But I finally did it.
And I feel so much better now. And yet, I feel so empty. So hollow. So... scared of myself.
Luna came back, she was happy to see me and I was happy to see her. It was the middle of lunch recess and I was sitting on the slide with Luna. We were talking about stuff. We were talking about our future and crushes and... things friends talk about.
Then that colt came up to us. He started taunting Luna, calling her mean names. I said nothing. I couldn't say anything. I was frozen in place. He grabbed her necklace -- the one her mother gave to her before she was destroyed by a curse -- and ran off with it. She screamed for him to give it back. He didn't let up. We chased him out into the field.
The other foals joined in, the colt's posse and some other kids. They started tossing it back and forth in a giant game of keep-away. Luna did her best, and so did I, but they were too quick. Tia joined in too, she tossed it a bit, but then she saw just what they were throwing. She saw her mother's necklace. Tia tried to stop them, but they just kept throwing it around. Holding it just where we couldn't reach. All the while, they taunted us.
Then the colt took it again, he took it and laughed as he threw it on the ground, stomping on it over and over. Luna was sobbing, Tia screamed for him to stop. He didn't quit. I felt so much... anger rising in me. It was pure fury. All I wanted to do right then and there was hurt him. Laugh when he suffered as much as I had.
All I remember was a blinding flash of light, horrified screams as ponies scrambled away from me.
I opened my eyes and the colt just lay there, bleeding from his mouth and nose. Bleeding from his... eyes. Ponies ran off, screaming and shrieking and sobbing. I killed him. I checked the pulse. None. I... killed him.
Why am I smiling? No, Discord, no! This isn't funny... you killed him.
I looked to Luna and Tia... that is when my smile faded. Luna just stood there, staring at me in shock. Tears dripped from her eyes. Tia put a hoof on her shoulder and the two looked away, trotting away from me. Luna looked back, I thought maybe she felt bad for me.
She looked at me with disgust.
She look at me with hatred.
It isn't my fault...
I didn't kill him! It wasn't me... it was something else. I don't know what went wrong.
I'm not the monster I see in the mirror.
