"Thanks forr the book, Twilight!" I heard mom say as she started to walk away. From what I could hear, Twilight pulled her friend back to ask a question, "How are things with Feather?" "Things have never been better! Why?" mom responded. "Rainbow Dash, tell me what happened."
"Nothing!"
"Dash, please. I only want to help you."
"He hurt himself."
"How?"
"well lately, he has been taking baths by himself, so I sit outside the door and listen. Yesterday, he got out of the bath and into the shower. He didn't know so he turned the knob all the way and he was hit with extremely hot water. He screamed, so I ran into the shower. He was fine. Nothing else."
"okay now tell me whats really going on. You look like you spent all night watching TV!"
" How can you tell when something is wrong? You always know exactly when someone's sad, how?"
"Magic, now out with it."
Mom sighed as she began to explain, "Two nights ago, he came in my room with a nightmare and spent the night in my bed. Then yesterday, when I asked him what was about, he tried to avoid the question. I got it out of him, and I started having nightmares."
"what are they about?"
I slowly opened the door as she began to explain.
"I woke up in a concrete room, and he was under my wing like he always is when he lies next to me. Then a man walks in and takes hi from me. I cant move until the door clicks shut. Then I hear him. He starts screaming. Screaming in pain. I start to call his name but he doesn't respond. Then that man walks in again with a giant grin and begins suffocating me. I wake up gasping for air after that. Im just so scared!"
By this time, twilight had noticed me, "Of what?"
"losing him. I cant lose him. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. If I were to lose him somehow, I don't know what id do; I love him Twilight, but I don't think I can tell him that enough!" she was crying now. Inside I felt awful. I knew I was behind these dreams.
" I cant show my face to him now. His mom, afraid of sleeping alone? I cant tell him that!"
It was my fault. I made this happen. I was the reason she wouldn't sleep.
I couldn't hold back anymore.
*Slam!*
" Was that him?" I heard mom ask as I took off. It was getting colder, but I didn't care. I flew home; I just needed to be alone. A touched the door handle and realized she would find me. I turned around and took off again. I flew up to a small cloud way above the house and laid down. Then it came out. I burst into tears. I was the reason she couldn't sleep. I put that thought in her head. It was all my fault.
As time passed, it got colder. I was freezing, but I couldn't go inside. Mom might be there. So I stayed. I could hear her calling my name. I stayed up there until I fell asleep. I would have to deal with the consequences of staying outside in ten degree weather.
