	Her slumber was so peaceful. 

Her dreams consisted of visions of summer; sitting under a willow tree by the lake. Hanging out with her friends and drinking a cooling glass of lemonade. Her mind created a peaceful world where Applejack and Pinkie swam in the body of water, Rainbow dash rested her head up in a fluffily white cloud, Rarity sunbathed in the sun, and Fluttershy sat and admired the beauty of the moment. Twilight sat across the lake alone, just moving the sand around... what was on her mind?

CRASH

Fluttershy instantly woke up to the loud sound of something hitting the ground. Her heart was thumping and she felt a single sweat beed trickle down her head. What was that?

"AAAAAHHHHH" That was Twilight, screaming. WHAT IS GOING ON?? Fluttershy's mind yelled.

Fluttershy flew back up to the loft and  pulled the bookshelf out of the way. Her heart was beating even faster than before. For a moment, she thought her heart would explode.

"Twilight?"
"FLUTTERSHY! Come down here, ohmygosh... Heeelp!" 
"Oh my goodness... okay I'm on my way down..."

Fluttershy flew down the passage and into a dark hallway. At first she could not see anything, but after opening a door, she could see the gruesome situation in front of her.  The two ponies were smashed under a bookshelf that must had fallen from the wall. Twilight only had her back hove stuck under it, but Caramel lied lifeless under the bookshelf.

Twilight weeped quietly on the floor where she lied.

"Thank you, thank you... for not leaving, I had though you would only be here to watch Owlicious, but..." Twiliht began to cry again. "Thank you,"

Fluttershy began to tear up a bit.

"Why don't you try and levitate the shelf..." Fluttershy weeped.
"Its, its... to heavy! I tried." 
"Okay, um, give me your hoove."

The purple mare raised her hoove. Fluttershy took hold of it and began to pull, and little by little the unicorn's leg began to slide out from under the shelf.

"Oh, thank you... go get Caramel..." Twilight cried. "Oh my leg..."

Fluttershy quickly walked over to the crushed stallion. A pool of blood had formed around around his mouth. Fluttershy cringed when she saw a pink thing that looked like a lung sticking out of his mouth. His eyes where glazed over and looked like the white snow outside. There were a huge gash on his back where the bookshelf hit, it had completely shaped his spine and had ripped through most of his flesh.

Fluttershy felt something in her throat, it was slowly rising higher and closer into her mouth. She quickly ran over to the corner of the room and vomited.  Chunks of grass salad and apples pooled up on the floor. After all food had left her system, stomach acid was the only thing that came out of her mouth.

Twilight lied on the ground quivering... Her leg was covered in blood and veins were sticking out everywhere. Blood was spilling everywhere, and so Fluttershy would have to act fast.

"I-I'll go upstairs and get bandaids and towels..." She quivered as she spoke.

The pegasus flew upstairs and into the small kitchen in the library. Twilight had always kept bandaids around a since clumsy ponys got paper cuts on the books. Fluttershy grabbed the entire first aid kit incase of an infection. On her way out she quickly swiped the paper towel.

Once she had returned downstairs Twilight was weeping once again.

"This is all my fault... all my fault..."

Fluttershy had began to wrap up Twilights smashed leg. The unicorn screeched each time Fluttershy had to lift her leg and wrap the gaze around.

"Ok, all done..." Fluttershy looked back up at Twilight. "What do you mean this is your fault?"
" I-I was placing some books on the shelf and it just fell over. I had no time to tell him to get of the way..."
"We should get the body out of here then." 

Twilight tried to stand up. She could not put to much weight on her injured leg, so she only stood on three...
