My Lost Sister
5 Years ago…
(Fire Charge's POV)
I knocked on Justice Tree's house. It swinged open and I saw Justice. "Fire!" By best friend exclaimed hugging me, giggling. I laughed along with her. "Justice Tree!" A voice exclaimed behind Justice. She looked up and rolled her eyes. "Hello mother, I'm sorry for hugging Fire Charge and not giving her space." Justice grumbled. "Now, you know better, the growing rate of mares falling in love with each other is growing, including stallions." Justice's mother reminded, looking away, probably thinking about her ex-husband that fell in love with someone else, another stallion. Oops! Not allowed to think about that! I shook my head and smiled. [I had to write that so don't blame me, but you'll understand later.]
Then I heard my sister's voice. "Fire! Mother, she-she welcomed a baby colt to the world!" Sweet Grass yelled, smiling and squealing like she used to when I was a very, very, very small filly. I squealed along with her and jumped up and down. Another sibling? That meant a whole colt-hood to watch! A baby, baby colt!
"Can I come to see it!?" I asked happily, eager as could be. Sweet Grass nodded excitedly. I turned around and smiled at Justice. "Sorry, is it Ok with you?" I asked her cautiously, not wanting to hurt her feelings. She nodded. "Yup, I can understand how you feel considering I have a two month old baby sister." She responded. "Bye!" She spoke, hugging me. I hugged her back and repeated what she said. I stood next to Sweet Grass and waved again.
I trotted on top of the hill and shouted ,"Bye!" again. Sweet Grass pulled me close and smiled. "Come on! Let's go sis'!" Sweet Grass teased. I laughed and trotted with my sister.
When we got close to the Ever Free Forest, we heard growling in the woods. We cautiously trotted through it until we heard a long and piecing howl. We looked behind us and saw wolves, real ones! We bolted and galloped to the house.
(Sweet Grass's POV)
I heard a bloodcurdling shriek. I looked at my sister's limp body in the jaws of a strong-looking grey wolf. It snarled at me and narrowed its eyes. I realized I wasn't going any were. I turned back and out-galloped the wolf pack who wielded my sister's body.
When I reached my house, I had twigs, leaves and dirt in my mane and tail and I had tears in my eyes. When Metal Crop or father saw me he gasped. "Sweaty! [LoL!]What happened to you? Where's my little fiery Fire Charge?" He asked, putting down his rake, looking worried. "W-w-we… were g-getting chased!" I gasped, buckling and I then just saw black.
(Metal Crop's POV)
I saw my daughter fainting. I catched her and put my head against her chest, her heart was beating slowly, but not stopping. I carried her body to the house and laid her on the couch. "Silver Pearl! Sweet Grass fainted!" I hollered, holding my daughter's limp hoof. "Please, Celestia, let her be Ok."
(5 hours later) (Sweet Pearl's POV)
"So that's what happened" My mother muttered, eyes still teary like father's and mine. We then all wept together, even Bronze Crown (That was the baby colt's name) cried with us, sensing something was bad. Tonight we all ate silently and prayed to Celestia that we would not end up being like Fire Charge and we would die peacefully. No-pony knew this but I prayed that her spirit would end up being an example to us all and be honored forever.
When the sun came out I put on my apron and started to cook breakfast. I waited for eggs being delivered by Fire Charge. I looked out the window and saw the forest, it pained me. I remembered that my only little sister was DEAD. I held back my tears and trotted to the hen house, head lowered in shame for thinking that Fire Charge would come back. I collected eggs and then burst out sobbing. Why!? Why did my sister have to die!? I hastily wiped away my tears and put them in my basket. I levitated it back to the kitchen and made eggs and pancakes.
"Mother, Father! Breakfasts ready."I hollered, setting out several plates. I took my breakfast and scribbled down a note.
"Dear Mother, Father, and little Bronze Crown,
I will be at our river and then our berry field harvesting, and maybe my friend, Forest Dance's house. But I will be back at dusk to help make dinner.
Until then,
Your faithful daughter,
Sweet Grass"
I galloped as fast as I could to the Alba River. I knelt and watched the river flow calmly. I wish I was like that, not a crying filly who lost a sister but a calm, self-controlled mare who lost a small piece of her-self, that's it. If only life was like that. "Yes, that is what I will be in the future, the future…"
