Spring woke up early that morning to an empty bed and two open balcony doors. The wind carried the cool breeze of autumn into the room as the leaves began to fall from the trees. She looked around and started to rise from her laying position on the bed.

She remembered where she was and shook her head at the familiar surreal feeling inside. She'd escaped...

She stood up and let out a loud hiss as a burning pain climbed up her hooves. "Buck..." She winced biting her tongue slightly. 'You deserve this' Her mind growled at her. Spring shook her head 'I'm not that pony anymore'

She walked into the bathroom grabbing a brush from the counter before looking in the rather large mirror. She was completely average, white hair that gradually turned green as she traveled down each strand and bluish green eyes. The only thing that stood out was her fangs and wings.

She stepped out of the chambers feeling a bit disheartened at her discovery. The guard gave her a slient bow leading her to the dining room. Spring looked around at the castle as she walked through the seemingly endless hallways.

Spring was so entranced by the castle's interior design that she didn't even notice she had absent mindedly walked through the familiar double doors into the dining room.

"Oh! Spring, we were just talking about you!" Celestia greeted her. Spring froze up letting out a gasp as her pupils shrinked.

(Flashback)

"Oh! Spring, we were just talking about you!" Cocoa called to her waving a hoof. The filly gave an awkward smile "The teacher told me to get something from the teacher's lounge" She said quickly before running away. Cocoa looked at his friends and gave them a quick smile before running after her.

Spring panted feeling the familiar prickle of tears and the burning feeling in her nose as she fought down the sobs. "Spring!" the brown colt called out to her. Spring turned the corner quickly trotting down the stairs.

The colt sighed running beside of her "The teacher's lounge is in the other direction..." He said. Spring bowed her head in thanks before running past him in the opposite direction.

"Spring!"

"What!"

"Did I...Do something wrong?"

"...No..."

She ran down the hallway frantically hearing his rapid hoovesteps echo in rhythm with her heartbeat. She turned the corner to see a dead end in front of her.

Cocoa was right behind her staring at the mare

"Spring..."

"Leave me alone!"

He walked up to her as she turned around with fearful eyes and her furry chest pulsing up and down. Cocoa cupped her cheek "I want to help... Would I lie to you..." He whispered.

Spring's mind flashed back to him kissing the filly and their giggles echoing in her head. Her breathing became ragged and primal as he drew himself closer trapping her between himself and the wall. She bared her fangs letting out a primal growl.

Cocoa's eyes widened before crimson flashed before his eyes painting the walls and the floor.

"OH MY GOD!!!"

"SHE KILLED HIM!!!"

The screams echoed around Spring as she flashed in and out of conciousness. She could taste a metallic liquid on her tongue and could see flashed of red and brown in her vision before everything went black.

'I remember what you did...'

(End of Flashback)

Celestia stared worried as Spring stood staring fearfully into Luna's eyes. She wasn't looking at the blue alicorn but past her like she wasn't even concious. "Sister... She's waking" Luna announced as Spring blinked for the first time in a while.

Luna smiled "Welcome back..."
