       For the rest of the day the crusaders searched for their talents in many different ways. They had decided not to work with the weather team again. Instead they did other crazy things to find their purposes in life. Apple Bloom had suggested painting, and Scootaloo had suggested a race. The rest of the day went on like that, but when it got dark they all returned home. They had told each other that they would crusade more the next day.
When Sweetie Belle walked inside her house, she found her parents in the kitchen. They were both crying, and they looked extremely stressed out. They both had looked up when they heard Sweetie's hoof steps.
"What's wrong?" Sweetie Belle asked worriedly.
"I guess your old enough to understand," her father responded. "Something terrible happened....... With your sister. I'm sorry Sweetie, but........She died."
"Sh-she what?!" Sweetie Belle cried.
Her mother tried to comfort Sweetie Belle. "I'm afraid so, but she is in a better place. She gets to see your grandmother again, and she will still be here in our hearts."
Sweetie Belle ran to her room. She laid down on her bed, and cried. Her tears were oily, but somehow clear. Her tears ran down her face and onto her bed. Sweetie Belle stood up, and looked out of her window. I just need to see Rarity again. I love her,she thought.
Sweetie Belle opened her window, and climbed out. She didn't think that there would be any sort of danger in going to Rarity's house to see her for one last time. She ran as fast as she could. When Sweetie Belle arrived there were police there as well. She overheard some police near the front door.
"It's a strange case. There are no clues to be found. It's obvious that she was murdered, but there are is no evidence that supported any other cause. It does look as though she has been stabbed." The police officer was talking to another one about Rarity's death.
"That is strange," the other replied. "There isn't even a weapon?"
"No," the first one said. "I would say she died another way, but I don't think any other way could be exactly possible. The mare's back in covered in blood, so I don't think there would be any other way."
Sweetie Belle couldn't take it anymore. She jumped into the nearest open window, and made sure not to be seen by the police outside. She looked around, and saw police tape surrounding the stairs. She decided to go upstairs to investigate since she saw nothing in the downstairs area.
When Sweetie Belle looked up the stairs there was a trail of bloody hoof prints. She followed the prints into Rarity's room, and she looked around. The first thing she spotted was a body on the floor. Tear flowed out of her eyes, and ran towards the body.
"Rarity!" Sweetie Belle hugged the limp bloody body tightly. "Why did this have to happen? I love you Rarity! It's too bad you can't hug me back. I love yo-"
"Did you hear that?!" Sweetie Belle jumped up in fear, and realized that it was the two police officers from outside. She was so busy talking to herself that she didn't hear them come in. She ran to an open closet in the room, and hid inside.
"Must've been you're imagination," came the reply of the second one. "Let's go see if there's anything else we can find upstairs before we leave."
Sweetie Belle could hear the hoof steps coming up the stairs. With each step she heard they were coming closer and closer. She started to sweat inside the hot closet. 
"These bloody hoof prints weren't here before."
Sweetie Belle cringed, and started to grind her teeth. She heard an officer come up to the closet, so she quickly piled clothes on top of herself. Each piece of clothing made the closet seem even hotter than it was.
"There's a lot of blood over here that's a bit strange. Especially near this closet."
"Open it."
The closet door creaked open, and Sweetie Belle started to panic even more. She felt the clothes being lifted ff of her. Sweetie Belle looked around nervously, and then buried herself even more. She shut her eyes tightly, and grasped onto the coat she was inside. 
The officer lifted the coat, and threw it to the ground. "That coat was heavier than the other ones."
The other officer looker inside of the coat cautiously. "Nothing's in there."
The two officers walked back downstairs. Sweetie Belle then came out from underneath of Rarity's bed. She had slunk under there shortly after the coat was thrown to the ground. The two officers were still down there, so she didn't walk down there.
Sweetie Belle noticed an open window in the room. She concentrated until she felt the jets in her hooves starting up. Then she flew out of the open window and hurried home.
