It's been so hard keeping myself within the boundaries of the prison of the training camp. I can watch and wait for one day to see my five friends faces again. Ti remember me and be with me.
At least my wing is healed now. i don't need the medicine anymore for it, but I do need it for other minor things that Sky Dream likes to break of me, like a worthless vase someone keeps constantly breaking for fun then replacing it but just ends up doing to same thing with it.
"Let me go home.", I cried out.
"Home? This is your home.",said Sky Dream all while snapping my wing again.
"No back home to Ponyville.", I cried.
"You know i'm actually tired of hurting you. Why can't you just accept this is where you belong. Rainbow don't yo see it's been awhile since you first came here. Don't you think your friends would have found you by now if they were looking?", he said kindly for the first time.
"I don't know", I said.
I pushed faster through the air. I crossed over the finish line for the thirty- second time and it felt kind of good. I looked past the gloomy clouds towards Ponyville. Oh, what I would do to go back. I have realized that there is times in a ponies life when they need to fail. They will get over it and they will move on. But, I think I have figured this out a bit to late.
"Go faster!", yelled Sky Dream.
He had broken so many of my bones in the past three months that I don;t even feel it anymore. That's ok with me as long as i'm part of the Shadow bolts. We will rise to the top. We will be the best. I am what they call a Shadow Bolt.
We are leaving to go to Ponyville for our very first air show. I pull on the tight form fitting costume and get ready. Now, that I have done better Sky Blaze has a eased up a little bit on me. We leave in a hour and I get to perform. Now, I get to show every pony what I have become. I can show them i'm not a failure. I can especially show the Wonder bolts what i have become.
We arrive to the cheering stadium. I look over and see the five ponies formally known as my best friends making their way towards me.
"Hey, where have you been? I didn't know you were a Shadow Bolt. Why did you leave so long? Are the Shadow bolts cool?", pinkie rambled on.
"No.", I said blatantly.
"No, what do you mean No?", she said clearly taken a back.
"I mean No.", I said.
Pinkie instantly started to deflate, while Twilight stepped forward.
"You do remember the last time fame went to your head. The Mare Do Well incident.", said Twilight.
"How could the fame have gotten to my head if i'm not even famous yet?", I said.
"I don't know", said Twilight thinking hard.
"Maybe, It's just I don't want to be any of your friends anymore.", I said coldly.
Then I listened to Pinkie cry as I walked away. It was better to get rid of them now that I have the Shadow Bolts as my friends. They don't care about me.
"Why didn't you save me.", I whispered.
I looked back for my last time as I saw all five of my former friends telling Mystery what happened. He turned and saw me staring. Maybe, at that moment I would've gone back but instead he did nothing to come after me. I guess everything Sky Dream said was true. He just wanted me to know the truth but I wouldn't listen.
For so long I had though I was trapped at the training camp as if it were my torture cell, but it wasn't. It was the place to stop my failure and continue to make my self better and now I have and I vow never to fail again. I have left behind the things that have held me back so long. The biggest one of all being my fear.
Eventually, every pony was going to move on for each other I just speeded up the process and left first which also meant I wouldn't go through the pain of losing any pony. I find it better this way.
