Chapter 2: Starshine

I stared down at the wound covering my left, front leg and hoof. I moaned with pain and limped toward an alley at the end of the street. I had nowhere to stay, I was lost. Why did my father have to be banished to that freezing place I could never go? And I doubt my mother would help, I didn't even know her! My father wasn't even evil! Everyone said he was, they all said,
"Sombra! How could you even speak that name!? You do know what he did to Crystal Empire, don't you? It was horrible!" But the problem was, my father didn't do anything to the Empire, he told me he was protecting the citizens and keeping them out of harm's way from the sun princess, Celestia. I shuddered at the thought of her. Sombra always said to watch out for the sun alicorn. Whenever I asked about the moon princess, Luna, his expression would soften and he would say "She's not all bad." I had always preferred the night, the moon glistening in the dark sky, stars shining. That was how I got my cutie-mark; star gazing.

I watched as the dark alley grew closer, soon I was standing on the edge of its shadows. I let out a soft cough which grew to a loud painful one. I groaned and slid into the darkness. My leg left a trail of blood behind me. I was loosing too much blood, I needed medical attention desperately. But, no. They would find out that I was an alicorn. When I was younger I would ask my father, if he was a unicorn, then why was I an alicorn because usually only princesses were alicorns. His response was always the same, "Now, now my little princess, some secrets are too be left for the future." The problem was, he was banished before he could tell me that "secret".

I finally made it to a spot completely hidden in the alley. I lowered my body to the ground, and groaned as my wound hit a sharp rock that I hadn't seen. Carefully, I kicked it away. My stomach grumbled, that would have to wait till morning, I was too tired to do anything. As I began to drift off to sleep.. I heard heavy breathing deep in the alley; I froze. No, no, I was too weak to run. All I knew was that there was someone here with me.
