Twilight Sparkle's crown that I stole lands in my hands.
"Finally!" I take a look at the crown. "More power than I could ever imagine!"
And then all of a sudden, blue magic lifts me high into the air, and a burning sensation runs through my body, the pain is so unbearable that I start to cry. The tears dissolve before I can feel them run down my cheeks. I am temporarily blinded, and when my vision return, I look at myself. My skin is now red, and I look like a demon. I hear my peers screaming in terror at the sight of me. I look back at them, full of rage and anger.
"I had to jump through so many hoops to get this crown, and it should've been mine all along!" I ball my hand into a fist, and a magical orb appears. "I am your princess now!" I destroy the front of the school. "And you will be loyal!" I fly into the school, and I hypnotize all of the students.
I look over at Twilight and her 5 friends.
"You know, I was just bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal. I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school, I want to rule Equestria! And I have my own little personal army to help me get it!"
"No, you're not!" the former purple alicorn remarks.
"Oh, really?" I laugh a little. "What are you going to do to stop me? I have magic, and you have nothing!"
"She has us!" I look back, seeing the 5 girls standing together.
I laugh again, amused at the thought of them thinking they could beat me. "Gee, the gang's really all back together again!"
I form magic in between my hands.
"Step back, Twilight has interfered with my plans one too many times!" I then throw the ball of energy at her.
---
I woke up, not being able to breathe, tears streaming down my face. My pajamas and bed sheets are soaked from my sweat. I suddenly have the urge to vomit, and I run to the bathroom and puke, crying all the while.
Who am I exactly?
'I' is Sunset Shimmer, the former popular girl that turned into a demon and destroyed the front of the school., and was defeated by 5 girls and a magical pony princess from another world.
I decide to go take a shower. I don't even decide to check the time, I'm not ever going back to that school again. All those fake friends, and those peers who love to whisper things about me when I walk by them in the hallway.
I'm so sick of it. So sick of all the lies from people- or ponies that I trusted. I abandoned my studies, and left my mentor 2 years ago. I miss her sometimes, but she lied to me and broke promises. She told me I had potential, but yet she put more time and effort toward another unicorn. She promised me I would become a powerful and smart unicorn, but it never happened. She paid less and less attention to me. She stopped showing the motherly love toward me. I started seeing her less and less, so I decided to leave. I didn't bother writing a note, she wouldn't have read it anyway. I didn't even know who this unicorn was until a year ago. And that unicorn- well, now an alicorn, was the one who defeated me when I turned into a demon.
I'm so sick of all the rumors. Every whisper I hear about me in the hallway, and anytime I try to help someone, they get a terrified look on their face, and say no. There's even rumors that I'm planning on attacking the school again. I'm not invited to any party or after-school activity. They're still scared of me.
And I know that they fake it. 'They' are the girls who defeated me. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity. I drove them apart their freshmen year so I could get the crown in Equestria. Somehow, Twilight got them together, and they all became friends again. They represented the Elements of Harmony , and they defeated me. Twilight told me that they would help me to learn friendship. I know that they didn't want to. They just acted like they wanted to, and they decided to be nice to me.
I just realized that I've been sitting in the shower bawling my eyes out, so I decide to step out of the shower, and grab a towel to dry off. I put a clean pair of pajamas on, and sit back on my bed, and take a knife out of my bedside table drawer. I pull up my sleeves , revealing scars from earlier times. I pick up the knife, and hold it close to my skin.
All the lies.
'I will always be here for you, Sunset Shimmer,'
I cut into my skin, and I feel the blood coming down my arm.
All the rumors.
'She's lying, she's still a horrible monster.'
I cut into my skin again, and I feel a burning sensation on where I cut.
'I heard she's planning on attacking the school again, not surprised.'
I cut my arm again, and I feel blood slowly coming down my arm.
All the nightmares.
'And what are you going to do to stop me?'
'I don't want this pathetic little high school, I want Equestria!'
I feel the burning sensation that I felt when I turned into a demon. I cut my wrist again, and I feel the blood on my hands.
I lay there, my vision blurry from crying. I put the knife back in the drawer, and fall asleep.
No! You're not allowed to do this to me! You will continue this story because it deserves more! Why must you torment us with tantalising horsewords that don't last?
In all seriousness, though, this really needs to be continued. It just doesn't feel complete, and it has amasing potential. I'd love to see more work done on it. In the meantime, this has earned you a like and a follow from yours truly
This hurt to read ommmgg nooooo Sunset baby
I think it's a well-written story. Keep up the good work!
My heart, the feels...very sad.
Nice story

Thank you!
I like this a lot. Not in the traditional, entertaining sense, but, well... it really struck a chord.
6625426 I'm glad you like it! I teared up when I wrote the story.
Simple. Poignant. I've certainly imagined Sunset thinking such thoughts, but actually doing the harm and framing it in first-person is not something I expected. Nice job.
I can understand where Sunset is coming from here, more than I'd like to admit.
Although you made me feel feels, the story does feel a bit… rushed? I can't call it incomplete since it leaves off at a proper spot (though I would like to see you go further with this concept), but it feels like there ought to be more there. That doesn't make this a bad story – I enjoyed it, actually.
6626595 thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hmmm... Cute profile pic? Draws my attention to the author's page. Story? Not my cup-of-tea, but enough for a like. Story being well written, no noticeable errors of any kind, and excellent competence in executing a story concept? That's slightly above my usual standards. I follow you now.

thanks !
Sequel?
My heart just broke
This should be continued it has potential to be a good story! I have felt the same feeling of pain and fear and it's sadly given me anxiety I have to deal with for the rest of my life.
I want to see Sunset heal. Keep writing!

I am now confirming that there will definitely be a sequel! I have been working on it today, and hopefully it may be out sometime this month or next month! It will also be a multi-chapter story.

I am happy to announce that there is a sequel! You can read the first two chapters here.
Should be am instead of "is."
Substantative point:
I wholly agree with you that Sunset Shimmer was probably self-loathing and close to suicidal right after Equestria Girls. When you see her at the start of Rainbow Rocks, she's horribly demoralized.
She's not only lost everything, but done so in a way that makes it obvious to her that she was aiming for the wrong things all along.
Can I do a sequel with my OC, and your oc as well?
I send you all you need to know.
Wow, in some ways I find this relatable, (the depression part) good job
Wow, this is depressing.
