Trixie glanced over at Sunset, who was sleeping curled up on Trixie's bed. The magician couldn't wrap her mind around what the redhead had told her. It just doesn't seem like either Celestia or Luna to be so quick to give up on someone because of a rumor. She thought as she turned her attention to her phone, her brow furrowed as she mentally debated what to do.
Sunset got like thirty calls and texts before she turned off her phone...maybe I should call Celestia and tell her where Sunset is? I mean, what if Sunset just misinterpreted what was said? But then again, I could just end up getting Sunset hurt and I would be breaking her trust.
Sighing she lay back on the floor, closing her eyes as she tried to weight the pros and cons of the whole thing. She was so lost in thought that when a sudden yelp cut through the air she bolted straight up, hitting her head on the shelf behind her in the process.
"What the?" she began, though she quickly realized that the source of the noise was Sunset herself. The former unicorn was curled up on the bed, shaking in her sleep. Getting to her feet Trixie walked over, putting a hand on Sunset's arm only for the sleeping girl to pull back.
"Please no! I'm sorry!"
Trixie nearly took a step back as she heard the panic in Sunset's voice, though as she saw tears silently coursing down Sunset's face she made a snap decision. That's it, I need to do something.
"Sunset, wake up." she said this barely above a whisper as she gingerly placed a hand on Sunset's shoulder, hearing her whimper once more as she moved away from the touch. "Sunset, It's me...Trixie. You need to wake up."
Sunset felt as if her heart was going to burst as she sat up, wrapping herself in Trixie's blanket as she tried to fight both panic and embarrassment. "That was some nightmare, do you want to talk about it?" Trixie promoted, taking a seat beside of her on the bed.
"No. Not really. It's just mental images caused by my warped mind and crap from my past." Sunset responded bitterly as she pulled her knees to her chest as she tried to fight the images that formed in her mind.
Trixie carefully put a hand on Sunset's back, feeling the thick bandages beneath her shirt. "You're soaked through with sweat. We're nearly the same size, I think I have some pajamas that will fit you if you want to take a shower to calm down." She suggested softly.
Once Sunset vanished into the bathroom Trixie grabbed her phone, smirking when she saw that Sunset didn't have a password set. Well, that helps me out. Though I doubt Sunset will appreciate this. She thought as she clicked on the most recent text, typing the number into her own phone before turning off and replacing Sunset's on the table.
"So you live here alone?" Sunset asked as she dried her hair, earning a sigh and nod.
"Yeah, my parents are business people after all. They travel, a lot." Trixie said with a shrug before adding "my uncle is pretty cool though. So I don't mind, most of the time."
Suddenly a knock came at the door causing Trixie to smirk.
"Wait here, I'll be right back."
