"You were both in this" I said disappointed. Twilight tried to hurriedly think of an explanation, while Spike just stared straight ahead at me.
"Rarity let me explain, we-"
"-weren't supposed to tell you anything, until you found out yourself" Spike said finishing Twilight's sentence.
"And?" I asked arching an eyebrow.
"And that's why we were helping you, well mostly me" Twilight said giving Spike a brief glance. Looking back at me she continued "We weren't supposed to give you any clues as to who was behind it. I couldn't stand seeing you like that, so I was always trying my best for you to at least question me"
"How was I supposed to know two of my friends were behind all of this?" I said anger boiling inside as I spat words that I didn't even mean.
"You're right, but remember I only agreed because I was trying to save you"
"But why couldn't you tell me anything? Were you being tracked or something?" Twilight chuckled nervously and shifted her eyes a bit.
"Actually, yes. She may look stupid, but she's not"
"Hey!" We heard Destiny shout, and for a moment I even forgot she was there." I can still turn you ashes you know!"
"Oh, shut your trap Destiny! Let's us talk for a minute!" Spike shouted sounding irritated, I was slightly surprised at his sudden reaction. Destiny didn't flinch and pretended like she didn't hear him.
Turning my attention back to Twilight, I continued "I'm not angry at you Twilight, neither of you actually. I guess I just feel a little betrayed"
"I understand and I'm sorry" Twilight said hanging her head.
"Yeah Rarity, I'm sorry" Spike said.
"Spike, if you don't mind me asking. Why were you dating her if you knew who she was all along?" I asked, a question that was tormenting me all this time.
"Same reason, she wanted us to praise her. Twilight refused, so I had to do it" Spike said nonchalantly. Wow, what they had to go through. They humiliated themselves for me.
"You did this for me..." I whispered, though they still managed to hear me. I sighed, as a sentiment I never experienced overtook me.
He chuckled sweetly and looked at me straight in the eyes "I love you". Those three words, they finally came out. I always knew he had a crush on me, but never though his feelings would ever be this strong. A laugh ruined the moment and brought my attention to the pony who hadn't spoke much during all this.
"Oh, I can't take all his sappiness" Destiny said putting a hoof on her forehead.
"No one is making you, you could just leave us alone you know!" I shouted at her. She laughed and that made me even angrier.
"I let you off the hook this time, but next time you won't be so lucky" she threatened, though I didn't care.
"Ha! Like that matters to me, you didn't give that same privilege to that pony you murdered. That innocent pony" I said. A thought that I had forgotten, and suddenly came back. Destiny's expression soured and made a serious face, all amusement gone.
"Innocent! That pony was no other than Ms. Ruby!"
"What?!" I yelled. My anger stronger than ever, I even forgot I was in the edge of a cliff, until I almost feel down.
"You thought I was going to kill some random pony?" she asked. Even if I wasn't really close to her, Ms. Ruby would always be in a part of my heart. And now she was dead, for a foolish reason, that even until this moment I didn't understand. A dress. All of this for a dress, this was so childish.
"You monster!" I shouted as tears dripped down my cheeks.
"What do you care? You barely even talked to her"
"She helped me get to where I'm today, I wouldn't be the pony I am now if it weren't for her" I said.
"That's true, maybe you wouldn't be in this mess. But too bad for you" she said sarcastically. "Look around Rarity, you're now my prisoner" Without thinking twice, a laser came out of my horn. A magic surge. This only happened to me once, but I could take it for my advantage.
She cocked an eyebrow and smiled "Oh, you want to this the hard way?" She didn't wait for a response and teleported a few feet away from me. I ran towards her, away from the edge, and lit my horn waiting for the right moment to strike. Destiny was faster though and a red beam came straight at me. I ducked just in time, and the magic impacted with a wall of the cave, making it rumble. I prepared my horn, and blasted it towards her. She didn't even move a muscle and blasted one my way, hitting mine. I gave in as much force, straining as I did so. There was no use, even with a magic surge, she was stronger. Destiny was sweating and so was I, though she still had her hooves on the ground. My legs buckled wanting to give up, but I wasn't going to give her that satisfaction. Pushing a little harder, she was distracted by my sudden change and lost her concentration. She ducked like I did before, but the beam ricocheted, hitting the spot in front of us. That's when I noticed that the floor underneath us was made of glass.
The laser made a blast, sending us both back, making me hit a wall. Destiny wasn't so lucky, the blast made a stalactite fall on top of her, killing her instantly. I breathed heavily, trying to get back to my senses, and failed miserably. My vision began to slowly fade, the last thing I heard and saw,was Spike.
"Stay with me Rarity! Don't you dare give up!"
