//------------------------------// // The fall 1 // Story: Just Jump... // by L1ghtning Rider //------------------------------// All I have to do is jump. Jump and don't let my wings unfold. I'm so sick of living out of a box. Why don't i remember anything? Am i just so pathetic that Faust can't even bother to give me a name? I can't fight back. Theres no one to fight for me. I'm useless. I don't even have a cutie mark. Just jump. Thats all i need to do. Then I'll never feel pain again. No ones gonna miss me. I have no friends. No parents. At least thats what i know. For some reason I just can't remember. All i've ever known is pain and suffering. Why was born? Was it by mistake? Probably. So I just need to jump. I'm shaking but i know that I need to do this. My wings are tied up so I can't stop. Once I've jumped, theres no going back. I do it. I jump... There are tears blinding my eyes so I can't see where I'm going. I feel something. I can't explain it but it felt like my body was on fire. It felt good. I felt faint electric shocks all over my body. "I-Is this what death feels like? I ask myself. I feel an overwhelming amount of weight pushing me sidways. At first i thought it was my wings but it felt soft, like fur. "No No NO! PUT ME DOWN! JUST LET ME DIE! WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP SUFFERING! WHY CAN'T I JUST FEEL PEACE?!?!" I kept crying and screaming for hey to put me down. When she finally did, it was at her cloud-house. She looked angry with surprise and happiness. "WHAT THE BU-. Kid what were you thinking? Trying to kill yourself? I get that life sucks sometimes but it can't be that bad." Now that I wasn't blind with tears, i got good look at her. She was beautiful. She didn't seem to care much about her mane but it looked well awesome. It seemed to have every colour of the rainbow. She had the bluest coat you've ever seen. Her eyes where like rubies and her cutie mark lookd epic. It was a lightning cloud with a bolt being red,yellow and blue. "Y-you don't know. I have no home, no family and I don't even know my own name." She looked taken aback by what i just said. She was pretty angry again but it quickly turned to sympathey. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She wanted to take me in. Be like a big sister. Feed me, train me, give me a home. I cried. But this time it was tears of happiness. I ninja hugged her. She wasn't expecting it but quickly accepted it. I told her that I still didnt know her name. " Rainbow Dash. Its Rainbow Dash." She decided to call me Lightning Rider. It was because of my cutie mark. Ironically, I got it while I was commiting suicide. The thing that was supposed to end my life gave me a fresh start. My cutie mark is a lightning strike on fire. I got due to something that Dash had named a 'Sonic Flameboom'. Since I was so high up, I managed to break the sound barrier and set the sky ablaze...
