> A little Sparkling Blaze > by Sparkling blaze > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The rape > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV I was about to close the shoe store,finally I looked around the only ones left in the store were me and Rainbow Dash,we didn't get much along when I first entered this job,but over the months we realized how similar we were and started getting along. Sonata and Adagio,who were friends with the rainbooms now too,Adagio for dating Sunset's adoptive brother,and Sonata for making friends with Pinkie Pie both think me and Dash have a crush on each other.But it's not true. "Hey Dash,I'm just finishing up here and going home okay?"I tell her. "Alright want a ride home?It's pretty late."She says. "No,I'll walk home."I say. "Alright."She shruggs as she gets the keys to her car. I start to walk home,thinking about how things were going too good lately,something bad was surely about to happen. I shook the thought off,I have to stop thinking this way.I'm gonna jinx myself. I decide to take the shortcut home,the last thing I need to deal with right now is Adagio yelling at me for being late home. I enter the dark allyway,scolding myself for being scared someone was there.I knew how to handle myself. Then I saw in the dark a very strong gray skinned,green haired men. "Well,well,well. I was expecting the rainbow one not the siren,but I guess you'll do."He said. "What do you mean by that?"I ask preparing myself to fight this guy at any second. "This." After that I got without air,and everything went black. Adagio's POV Aria should be home by now, What could that girl be doing? I ask myself. I know she like to stay late and talk to that Rainbow girl. But never this late. "Ari home yet?" I hear a voice from behind me ask. "Like the last five times you've asked me, no she's not." I spin and snap at her. "I...I'm sorry, I'm just getting worried about her." I sigh, "No Sonata I'm sorry, I'm worried about her too. It's not like her to not call if she's going to be late like this." "Think we should go look for her?" "We'll give her ten more minutes. If we haven't heard from her by then I'll go look her her." "I'll go too." "No you won't, you don't want to see what I'll do to her when I find her." After ten minutes that I swear felt more like two hours I still haven't got a phone call from Aria. "I'm gonna go find her." I tell Sonata. "And when I do I'm gonna...." At that I'm cut off my by phone ringing. I look to see who it is no other then Aria. "You're lucky you called when you did. Where the hell are you?" I snap at her when I answer the phone. But instead of an excuse on even a halfhearted "whatever" I hear something I haven't heard in years, something I didn't know she knew how to do anymore. Aria was crying. "Dagi..." She started trying hard to calm herself long enough to talk. "What's wrong? What happened?" I ask her quickly trying to figure out what could be bad enough to make her cry. Then it dawned on me. "Something happen to Dash?" I ask her. That has to be it. Dash got hurt and she went to the hospital with her, but if she's crying that must mean... My line of thought is cut off by her answer. "No she's alright." I hear a bit of panic in her voice now. "At least she was.. he said he wasn't expecting me...he might have." "Aria calm down,I'm sure she's okay. Now tell me what happened." "Then...he.." The longer it's taking her to tell me the less I want to know. Could I just hang up and act like this isn't happening? No I can't...Something happened to my little sister and I'm going to find out. "Ari." I start only to be cut off again. "He raped me! I tried to stop him but I couldn't. I need your help." "Oh my god where are you.?" "Still in the alley.I...I was on the way home. There was they guy in the ally I din't think much of it. But-" "I'll be right there." The next thing I know I'm at the alley. > Suprise! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- About a month later... Aria's POV It's been an month since the incident,Dagi met up with me,we reported the guy to the police,since we didn't knew where he went. Then after it things were pretty much the same except now I took a ride home with Dash every single day, because I was scared of it happening again. Also a few weeks after the incident we learned that Dagi was 2 months pregnant,and the she was having twins. Dagi also told me to watch my period,because sirens are pretty fertile. I just realized I think I'm late,I check on my calendary. Yep I'm 3 weeks late. Should I get an pregnancy test?Well I know Dagi has a stock because of how often she and Winter do it. I get a pregnancy test,and after some minutes I get the result. -Positive,4 weeks pregnant- What am I going to do? I can't be pregnant. I..I'm not ready to be a mother. Okay okay I tell myself. I can get through this. Lets just start by telling someone. I pick up my phone and get ready to call Dagi, but then I stop myself. I can't tell her at least not yet. Sonata wouldn't understand and even if she did she'd just tell Adagio. So I only have one choice. "Hello." Says the voice on the other end of the phone call. "Hey Dashie..what's up I ask her?" "Not much just chilling at home. How about you?" "About the same. Can I come over? We need to talk." "Sure, but we're talking now...what do you need to see me face to face to tell me?" "You'll understand when I tell you. I'll be over there soon." As I hang up with Dash I can't believe I'm going to tell her this. What if she hates me because of it. A part of me knows she would never hate me. I soon find myself at Dash's house, and sitting on her couch. "Soooo..." she starts. "What is it we need to talk about." Straight to the point like always. I normally love that about her the way she can just cut through everything and find out what's wrong. "Well you see..." I start "It's just I don't know how to say it." "It's easy." She tells me. "You look at me, take a deep breath, and tell me what's on your mind." I took a deep breath to try and calm myself. "I just want to start this with I love you and always will." That got a reaction out of her. A look of fear came across her face. I reached out and took a hold of one of her hands, we both needed it. "I-I'm pregnant." After a moment Dash let out a laugh. "That was a good one, you almost had me. You can't be pregnant. To get pregnant you have to have sex, with you know a guy. And I know you're not into guys." I let out a sigh. "You're right I'm not. But about a month ago I didn't have a choice." Once Dash heard that she stopped laughing and it was like the gears in her head rolled over as she realized what i tall meant. "You you mean from the... You got...?" All I can do is give a nod. Then the next thing I know she had warped her arms around me and pulled me into a big hug. This was by no means out first hug but something felt different about it. It felt safe, that somehow everything would work out. "I'm so sorry." She tells me. "What am I going to do?" "What do you mean what are you doing to do? You're going to have a baby that's what you're going to do. Then we're gonna take care of it." "We're going to take care of it?" I ask confused. "Yeah, that is if you want me to. I understand I might not be what more people would think of as being a great mom. But I want to help you." After that it was my turn to give her a big hug."Of course I want you to help. But before that I'll need your help with something even worse." "What?" "We have to tell Dagi." "We may as well do that now. I'll give you a ride and we can tell her." > A few weeks later... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV Fast foward a few weeks later I'm entering my third month of pregnancy. My nieces were already born,they were born a few months early. After that Adagio made sure to remark various times to me how risky siren-human pregnancies were and the historic of premature birth we had on our family. Today I was going on a ultrasound to check in on the baby later,Dash was going with me.It was going to be a really exciting one too,we were going to discover the baby's sex today. Only me and her were hanging out at my home,Sonata was out on a date with Flash,and Dagi and Winter were at their house. Suddenly I felt a fierce pain on the belly on the side the doctor told me my baby was. I doubled over,hoping the pain would go away and that my baby was ok. As soon as Dash saw me like that she rushed me to the hospital. RD's POV I'm pacing outside Ari's room right now,I'm really worried about her.I mean what if something happened to her or to the baby? "Calm down,Dash."I think to myself."Ari will be ok." "But what if she's not?" The thought again goes through my head. "We don't know anything about sirens. This could be a sign she's getting worse. "No." I again tell myself "She's going to be ok....Oh what's taking Sunset so long? She should know something by now." Sunset then calls me: "You can enter now." I enter and see Ari is sleeping. "So what happened?"I ask. "The pregnancy is going to be risky,probably due to Aria being a siren,the baby might come early.Aria needs to rest during the pregnancy,but how I know her and how stubborn she is,I'm asking you make sure she does that.On the bright side I discovered she's having a girl."Sunset answers. "You're right." I tell her "No way Aria will want to stay in bed. But I'll do what I can to make sue she does. And it's good to know she's having a girl that will make it easier to but the things she needs. Can I go see her?" "Of course you can. Just try not and get her too excited." "Do you think I would do something like that?"I ask. "Yes I do. just be careful." I go over to Aria,and gently shake her. "Dash?"She groggily asks. "Hey,sleepyhead."I say. Her eyes then widen,as she remembers why she was here: "The baby ok?" "Yeah our little girl is ok."I answer. "That's great." She tells me." I was worried about her. That she might have ended up like Sonata." "She's not and even if she was we would take care of her." I assure her. "But... you wouldn't need to." "Aria I love you." I tell her then I place my hand on her belly. "And I love her, and always will." "Anyway what Sunset discovered,why that happened?"She asks. "Because you're a siren.Sunset said you have to rest a lot and that she might come early." "Wouldn't be surprising most people in my family had their babies early.And Dagi's pregnancy didn't go any easier than mine." "Ari,I mean it when I say you have to rest."I say firmly. "I know Dash." "I know you don't want to but... Wait what did you say?"I ask her. "I know I need to say in bed, and you are going to make sure I do if I like it or not." She tells me. Just like I would be making sure you stayed in bed if you needed to." "I know you would. I was just expecting more of an argument. I know you don't like being in bed." "Oh I wouldn't say that." Then she gives me a look that makes it clear what she means. "Just depends on who I'm with." "I...I mean" I try to say something but I can't find the words. Aria then takes my hand: "You're so cute when you're flustered like that. In all seriousness I'll stay in bed." "That's great Aria."I say. After sometime,Aria is relesead. "I wanted to tell Dagi,and see my nieces."Aria tells me. "Let's go, then."I say and we drive to Dagi's house. > Meeting Tifany and Rebecca > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV Me and Dash go to Dagi's house,how I have the keys we just enter. "Aria,what are you doing here?"Adagio asks as she come to meet us. "Let's just say it seems my pregnancy is gonna be as tricky as yours and I wanted to see my nieces."I say. "I'll make sure you follow what Sunset said.Discovered the sex of the baby yet?" "Yeah it's a girl.But anyway how are the girls?"I ask. "They're the same as always." She tells me. "That bad huh?" Dash asked, as we watched the twins leave and head in the direction of the kitchen. "Not again!" Adagio sighed in frustration as she follows them. Me and Dash follow her. "What do they want?" I ask her. "They want to play with knifes, they don't seem to realize how dangerous it is. "Adagio just got done saying that when we reach the kitchen to see Tifany hand Rebecca a knife then get one for herself. I rush over to them and get the knifes out of their hands. "We don't play with knifes."I tell them.Both of them just look at me. I sigh. "You and Winter told Sunset about this yet?"I ask. "No not yet, I was hoping this was just a phase they were going through. But the longer this goes on I'm not so sure." "Dagi I love you... but what the hell are you thinking? When did playing with knifes become something normal?" She laughed a little. "When you put it like that I should have already told her. I'll tell her when Winter gets home." "That's great.But anyway they're both crawling pretty early,for human babies at least."I say. "Yeah,they are.They act pretty violent too.I'm scared my vision might come true." "Oh c'mon Dagi,you know that won't happen." "What are you two on about?"Asks Dash. "Adagio has future visions and she had one in which her twins killed Winter."I answer,then turn to Adagio."But this is not gonna happen." "Ari's right." Dash tells her. "Just because you saw it in a vision doesn't mean it's going to happen. Isn't the future always changing?" "You two don't understand. They always come true." "Can't you just stop it then?" "It's not that easy. I only know it's going to happen, not when it's going to happen." "Then we'll help you to teach the girls right and wrong, so they don't do that,okay sis?"I say. "Okay Aria." We hear the door opening,Winter had arrived. "Hey sweetheart, I'm home." he said as he came in. Then he saw Dash and myself."Oh hey you two, what's up." Adagio took a deep breath. "Winter we need to talk about the girls." "What about them?" Adagio explained what we were worried about. "Do you think it could really be that bad?"He asked. "Yes,I think it could be this bad Winter.You know about that vision."Dagi told him. "Dagi,we'll take them to see my sister and if something is wrong,we'll get help for them and teach them." "I know Winter,I'm just worried." "Dagi nothing is going to happen to me. I know what your visions have seen. But the girls would never hurt me. But like I said we'll have Sunset take a look at them."He says. "Alright Winter." He then turns to me: "And how your pregnancy is doing Aria?" "Well I discovered today it's risky and that I'm going to have a girl.I hope she gets along with Tify and Becca." "I'm sure she will. It'll be good for Tify and Becca to have someone close to their age to play with. And if you need anything don't be afraid to ask, we'll so what we can."He says. "I know I don't say it very much but thanks. I just hope things don't go that bad."I thank him. > A little Sparkling Blaze > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV 2 months later I had just entered my fifth month of pregnancy,and me,Adagio and Sonata were hanging out at Dagi's house. I had felt some contractions earlier in the day but hadn't thought much of it. That is until my water broke. "Girls." I told them. "My water just broke." "What do you mean your water just broke?" Adagio asked me. "It's way too early for that to happen." "I know, but Sunset told me I might have her early. I just didn't think she meant this early. Do you think she's going to be ok?" As soon as I asked her that it's like a switch was flipped in her. She became the big sister that always knew what to say and what to do to make everything work out in the end. She turned to Sonata. "Sonata go get the car ready." Then she helped me up while Sonata ran out the door. The she turned her attention back to me. "You And Sparkling are going to be alright." "How do you know? I ask her not sure if I believe her. "Easy." she tells me. "If something bad was going to happen I would have seen it. And do you think I would have let you go home from the hospital if something was? Now let's get you to the hospital, I'm looking forward to meeting niece." By the time I arrived to the hospital,my contractions got worse,I could barely talk. They rushed me into C-section. And after 3 hours in labor I had my daughter in my arms.Dagi had called Dash and she was on her way from her new job interview to here. Sunset then walked in,she had also just discovered she was pregnant. "Aria,I have some bad news."She said."She haves 50% chance of living and 50% chance of dying." I couldn't believe what she had just told me. That can't be true can it? I look at her looking for the slightest chance she could be wrong. "Sunset I know she was born early but that doesn't mean she's getting get that bad." She sighs. "You're right she might not be, but there's just as good a chance she will be." The realization of what she just told me starts to sunk in. "I can't lose her...you have to do something." "I'll do all I can."She assured me.And in that moment Dashie arrived. She entered the room and gave me a kiss. "How is our little girl doing?"She asked. "Well,Sunset tell her."I sighed. "Look Dash,Sparkling seems to be doing well for now but that could change with how early Aria had her she has 50% chance of living and 50% chance of dying." Dash then sighed: "Do what you can,Sunset." Sunset then left the room. "I'm worried Dash."I told her. "Ari,she is as tough as you she'll get throught this." "How can you be so sure?" I ask her. "Easy." She answered me." "Don't tell me it's because Dagi didn't have a vision about her."I interrupt her. "Oh no nothing little like that. It's the fact she's our daughter, and we can't lose her." A few weeks went by... Sunset just entered the room and she was smiling: "Aria I have good news,Sparkling isn't in risk of dying anymore." "Really?!"Relief filled me."That's amazing news,Sunset." "Not only that but the fact she is a siren made her fully develop.You and her can get home." "That's great." I tell her. I still can't believe it. After going through everything... things might finally be going good? Can that really be happening? Dash interrupts my train of thought:"That's awesome. Ari you get her ready while I go get the car." I get Sparkling ready and we go home. After everything that happened we finally had our little girl,our little Sparkling Blaze in arms. As we went home I wondered what the future might bring for her. > 3 months later... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV Things were going great,me and Dash had finally made it official,Sparkling was developing really great,actually pretty fast for a human baby too,I assumed it was because she had a high IQ. Sparkling learned to sit up by 4 weeks,and to roll over by 8,we were at Dagi's house. I put Sparkling sitting in the ground with some toys next to where I was sitting in the sofa. She then suprised me by starting to crawl over. "Dashie get in here!" I holler for Dash. "Sparkling is crawling." Dash came running in. "What do you mean crawling? She's too young..to..be.. crawling." Dash realizes she's crawling. "Ari this is amazing. Sparkling is really crawling." I pick Sparkling up and hug her. "Mama's so proud." I then put her down again as Dagi walks in the room,holding both Tify and Becca fainted in her arms. She sighs,then looks to what's happening,and for some reason when she saw Sparkling crawling a look of terror went through her face. "You need to get Sparkling checked. Her developing this fast is a really bad sign." Dagi told us. "She's just really smart Dagi." Dash countered. "No this is how Tify and Becca started out." "Adagio,that doesn't mean she's gonna turn out like them."I said. "Aria,please take her get checked just to be sure,you don't want to discover something when it's already too late." "There's no need to Dagi." The twins began to wake up.Dagi put both of them in the ground. "Yeah there is!" "Dagi there's not. She'll be alright,she's just really smart and developing fast for being a siren." "Aria please I don't wanna argue." We are stopped by Sparkling's crying coming from the kitchen. We then notice neither Sparkling or the twins are in the living room. All of us rushed into the kitchen. What I see makes my heart drop. Tifany and Rebecca have Sparkling backed against the counter, both with knifes. "Girls no!" Adagio screams at both of them. But they only stop for a moment before Tify raises her knife and brings it down at Sparkling. But at the last moment Dash moves with a speed I haven't seen her use in years. She runs over and tries to pick Sparkling up but isn't fast enough and gets stabbed in the arm. "I got her." She says to us. But then I'm gripped by fear again as she raises her knife again. But before she can swing her knife down they both faint. "Is Sparkling ok?"Dagi asked. "Yeah,she is."Says Dash. I go over to Sparkling and hug her,Dash does the same before leaving her to crawling again. "You see Ari,the twins developed as fast as Sparkling,and now they're like that.Please at least check Sparkling out to make sure she doesn't haves anything." "Alright I'll make an appointment for Sunset to see her. But I'm more worried about Dash." I turn to her. "How bad did she get you?" "Not bad." She tells me rubbing the spot on her arm. "Can I see it?" "N-no..there's not need for you to see it." "Let me see it." I tell her losing my patience. "Fine,just don't freak out." She rolled up her sleeve an showed me her arm. "Looks like we're getting Sparkling checked out sooner then I thought. We'll have Sunset check her after she fixes your arm." We then went to the hospital. Sunset gave a look in Dash's arm,and seemed suprised. "I will need to stitch it.But Tifany did that?!"She then turned to me."Next time you see Dagi tell her to bring the girls for me to check." "Okay I will." She then stitched the cut up. "Thanks Sunset." Dash thanked her. "But I'm more worried about Sparkling. She's developing just like the twins did. That might mean there's something wrong with her." "I'll do some tests on her and see if there's something wrong with her." She then starts checking Sparkling and after doing some exams,Sunset comes back to the room with some papers. "Look, she has schizophrenia,so I'm giving you an medical referral for you to take her to an psychiatrist." "We'll take her as soon as we can. Well do what we can to make her better." > He discovers... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV I just had took Dash to work, everybody was busy so I took Sparkling too. I couldn't believe I was gonna have to pass by the same alley in which Sparkling was conceived again. And with Sparkling in my arms,I was scared Forced was still there. I then looked to Sparkling. "Don't worry,Sparkling."I told her."Even if he's there mama won't let him do anything to you." I look at the alley as I drive past. I'm so scared of what I might see but I don't see him. I sigh in relief when I don't see him, maybe I'm just worried about nothing. I keep driving and turn to head home but I'm forced to stop because a car has stopped in the middle of the road. "They might be hurt I tell myself." I put Sprkling back in her car seat. "I'll be right back." I tell her as I get out of the car and walk over to the stopped car. "Hello, you ok?" I ask as I get to the drivers door. Who I see makes me wish I had never checked on them. "I wasn't expecting it to be you." Forced Entry tells me when he sees me. He grabs a hold of me to keep me from getting away. "I don't normally get the same person twice, must be your lucky day." I try to get away but his grip is to strong. And I feel each blow as he begins to beat me. It's gonna happen again? I think to myself as I start losing the strength to stand. "Just...don't hurt..." I start to say as darkness takes me. When I opened my eyes what I saw was what I most feared,he had Sparkling,she was crying,and by the seems of it he had hurt her. I get all my strenght back when I saw that.He was not gonna hurt my baby anymore! I attack him with all my strength. I'll make him pay for hurting my baby. "You're up sooner then I though you would be." He mocks me. Then he grabs me by throat and starts to squeeze. I try to pry his hands free but he's to strong. I punch him but it's like hitting a wall. "Now I remember why I didn't just kill you last time. You have a lot of fight in you...I like that. Something about overpowering someone like you. And taking what I want from them." I feel my legs start to give out and it's getting harder to fight him off. I feel my feet leave the ground and I am taken to the car and thrown in the backseat. It is only then I'm able to breath again as I gasp for breath. "Don't worry I'm not going to kill you. You're way to much fun. Just let this happen it'll be over soon." And it happened all over again.He must have punched me all over again because when I woke up I was naked and Sparkling had a black eye,she was fainted.I started to get worried then I saw Adagio, she must be getting home from work. I started trying to get her attention. "Dagi!"I screamed. She then looked in the car's direction,and started rushing towards us. "Oh my god what happened?" She asks as she's trying to process what happened. "He..he did it again." I tell her. But how is Sparkling." "It looks like he beat her but not that bad. I need to get you both to the hospital." We then head in to the hospital.Sunset checks both me and Sparkling. "Aria,you have some bruising,but how I know how sirens are fertile I'll ask you to keep an eye for pregnancy signs-" "Is Sparkling ok?!"I cut her off,that was the only thought in my mind right now. "Yes she is,she haves some bruising nothing life threatning,she fainted because with how little she is she shouldn't be beat this way." I then see Dash rush in into my room with her super speed. "Adagio told me,are you and Sparkling ok?"She ask as she put her hands on my face. "Yeah we are,I just might have gotten pregnant again." "That doesn't matter." Dash tells me. "As long as you're ok. Besides we've been talking about maybe adopting a kid so Sparkling could have a brother or sister." "Yeah." I answer. "But this is a little different then adopting another kid." Before we can talk more Sunset came back in the room. " I have some really bad news. If you're pregnant this is going to be harder on you then the last one was." > A lost > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aria's POV 4 months went by,Sparkling was now talking and walking and I was pregnant again...I discovered on the 3rd week. However I wasn't nothing well,the pregnancy was being really hard. I was laying down when I felt my water break,the baby was coming early again. "Dash!"I yelled. Dash came running with Sparkling by her side. "What's wrong with mama?"Sparkling asked. "The baby is coming." I tell her. "It's too early." Says Dash. "We need to get you to the hospital." Dash helps me to the car and she takes me to the hospital. When we got there Sunset seemed really worried. Then she rushed me into c-section.Dash took Sparkling to Sonata's house. Hours after the baby was born,it was even smaller then Sparkling was when she was born,and apparently didn't have the same luck Sparkling had. It was another girl,she didn't cry when Sunset got her out,I just watched as Sunset rushed her away from the room. Dash arrived and rushed into the room: "How's the baby?!" "I don't know,Sunset rushed her away from the room as soon as she was born." I'm not sure how much time passed before Sunset came back. But I could tell this it was bad just by looking at her. "I'm so sorry." She started. "I did everything I could." I try to say something but I can't find my voice. She can't be telling me this, it's not possible. "What do you mean you did everything you could?" Dash Starts. "You... You sound like she died. But that can't be true." "Dash she was born too early. Nothing worked right...I'm sorry." Then it was my time to snap: "But Sparkling was born at 5 months and she was fine!" "Aria,Sparkling got lucky,and she was more affected by your magic then this baby." The realization then came to me,she was really gone. I started to break down and then I realized we were still gonna have to tell Sparkling. Me and Dash named the girl Flaming Star.Sunset then registered the death and sent me home. We then went getting Sparkling at Sony's house. When Sonata answered the door she had a big smile on her face. "Wow you two are here sooner then I expected." She took a moment to look around. "So where is she?." "Sonata." I start. "She didn't make it." "Oh.." It took her a moment to process what I just told her. Then she wrapped me in a hug. "I'm so sorry Ari." I hug her back. I can feel she's trying to find the right thing to say but can't find anything. So I ask her where Sparkling is. "Oh she's playing in the other room." Me and Dash go and find her. Sparkling comes running in our direction and gives us a big hug. "Mamas!"She then looked around."The baby in the car?" Me and Dash then exchanged a look,I then sighed,there was no easy way to tell her this. "Sparkling,your little sister was born really early,your aunt Sunset did everything she could but..."I hold in the crying."Your little sister didn't survive." She breaks down. Her breaking down makes me stop holding it in and I breakdown too. "I know it hurts." I tell her. "I'm sorry you never got to see her. But maybe you can have one some other time." "Yeah." Dash adds in. "I'm sure you'll have a younger brother or sister one day." She continues to break down,I catch her in my lap. "You wanna go to aunt Dagi's?"She gives a sniff and nods."She always knows what to do." We then went to Dagi's house,when Dagi saw the car she opened the door and gave me a hug. "Sunset told me.I'm so sorry."She said. She then proceeded to hug Dash and Sparkling. When she hugged Sparkling,she told her: "Sky and Blame are here,why don't you play with them a little."In a try to distract her. She nods and leaves. "Dagi..." I start but can't get any farther before i break down again. "I know." Dagi tells me. "There's nothing I can say they will make this better. But I know you and Dash can get through this." "I know we can." I tell her."It just hurts so much. I miss her and I want her back." "And that's normal."She hugged me again."I'm here for you sis. " "At least we still have Sparkling."Dash added. "Yeah and we'll protect her how we can."I said."No matter what." "You're right."Dash agreed. "Be careful you don't go overboard." Dagi warned us. "It'll be worth it."I tell her. "I'll make sure nothing ever happens to her." > First day of school or maybe not? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 years later... Sparkling's POV I was so scared and nervous,today was my first day of class,I had been up since 5 am just laying down covered until my head so mommy didn't find me. I didn't wanna go to school,and what the voices were saying weren't helping either,maybe I should've took the med mommy gave me instead of throwing it away. While I was thinking about if I should tell them or not mom Dash comes into my room. " Sparkling, time to get up." I just lay there. Should I get up and tell her? What if she gets mad? What if she doesn't believe me? What if....? "Sparkling!"Mom Dash says again a little louder this time. I uncover my head. "Good morning." I tell her trying to hide how I feel. "There you are." She says with a smile. "How are you feeling this morning?" "I'm ok."I lie. "You sure?"She asks. "Yeah.I'm just hungry."I say. We both go downstairs mommy was making breakfast . "Be careful,this food is poisoned..." And there it is,the voice that makes me doubt my choices.I eat a little but in case the voice is right I leave some on my plate. "I'm not hungry anymore."I tell my moms. Aria's POV I see Sparkling has only taken a few bites. "Sparkling you need to eat some more, please?" "Mom I'm really not hungry." Sparkling tells me. "But Sparkling you need to..." I start. "Don't force her." Dash cuts me off. "Go and finish getting ready. I'll take you to school when you're ready." Sparkling gets up and leaves the room. "She needs to eat Dash." I tell her starting to get mad. "I know but look at her, she's scared. I've already talked to Fluttershy, she'll make sure she eats." "Why would she be scared to eat,Dash?" "I don't know.Did she take her meds last night?" "Yeah she did." Sparkling then comes down,ready for school and humming an song neither me or Dash knew and between some lines she would sing it outloud. We entered the car. When I heard an certain line I knew she must've spitted the med out and threw it away while I walked away from her room. "Why you have me second guessing everything I do and say..."She sang. "You didn't took your meds,did you?"I asked her. "I...I." she starts. "You didn't take them did you?" I ask her. For a moment she just stares at me. She looks as if she's trying to decide if she can trust me or not. Dash thankfully sees the same thing I do. "You know me and your mom would never hurt you right?" Sparkling nods. "When did you stop taking your meds?" "A long time ago. Are you mad at me?" "Of course not." I tell her. "But we need to take you to get checked out. They can give you something to balance you out." Dash then turns to the back of the car: "Do you want to go now,or stay at home with your mom and we take you to your psychiatrist appointment tomorrow?" She thinks for a while. "I wanna go home with mommy." I turn to her: "Are you sure you will manage to wait a whole day?" "Yeah."She answers. Dash turns the car around and takes us home. We go inside. "So Sparkling what do you want to do?" "I don't know." She tells me. "You're just like your mom Dash, you know that?" Sparkling just shakes her head. "She never knows what she wants to do either." "Oh." "How about we go and watch some tv?" We watch some TV and after awhile Sparkling speaks up: "I'm sorry I didn't took my meds." "It's ok."I say."Just don't do that again ok?It's bad for you." "Alright."She says. After some while she said: "Mommy?" "Yeah?" "I love you." I then pull her close: "I love you too."
