Into the Fire

"Well…." started Vinyl "when I went over to the buffet table I ran into a friend of mine, you remember Neon right?" Octavia gave a grunt "so… anyway Neon and I decided to ditch the buffet and go clubbing…" "Wait! There's a club?" "Yea its like, on the 3rd floor, so anyways we went drown there for a few, and kinda loss track of time, mainly because of the lack of windows. Anyway, after a while things got a little awkward and I decided to come back up to our room" "So, your telling me that you didn't once have a thought about what I was doing?!" Octavia said raising her voice " No, I did, it just-" began Vinyl "just what! You weren't considering I could be worrying about you!" Octavia yelled "Tavi, I didn't mean-" "I don't want to hear any of your excesses Vinyl!" "But-" began Vinyl as she watched her mare-friend walk towards the door "I'm tired of –of you!" Octavia roared as she slammed the door behind her. Crying Octavia trotted down the dim lit corridor.
"What was I thinking?" Vinyl questioned herself "Why could I have been so thoughtless? She must hate me…" Vinyl said to herself feeling the painful embrace of guilt around her. Face hoofing herself she continued to question her actions of the previous day "Oh celestia, forgive me…" she sobbed, shaking her head she sat up from her bed and wiped away the tears "I gotta find Octavia" she whispered to herself "before its to later" she closed the door behind her and galloped off down the hall turning the corner and proceeded down the hall.
She didn't know where she was, but she didn't quite care. Octavia dragged on in the dark walking past tables and chairs; at least they had company she thought to herself. She stopped and peered over the edge of the railing, and watched the rolling dark waters below. The lights of the course reflecting off them almost seemed hypnotizing, as if the ocean below had changed into roaring flames, oh how much she wanted to lean over the edge and let the fire consume her, but that thought quickly passed. She stepped away from the railing and gave a sigh and dropped her head, letting a tear trickle down her cheek.
"Octavia!" cried Vinyl as she galloped towards her friend "I've been looking everywhere for you!" Octavia turned away from her friend "Octavia… I'm sorry…" Vinyl voice cracking as she said the words. "Into the fire" muttered Octavia quietly. "What? Never mind, just- I'm sorry Octavia for today, sometimes I'm just really – dumb…" Octavia turned around, another tear trickling down her cheek but she gave a slight smile "Come on, lets get back to the room, I'm freezing" she gave Vinyl a hug and they trotted back to they're room, neither of them saying a word along the way, Letting the night air clear their mind, and smothering the Flames between them.
