A SPECIAL GUEST
FACING SOPHAR
Hanna stood at her side until she didn't cry anymore – Its okay, cry all you want, I promise you that everything will be alright – She rubbed Idrial's back with her warm feathers "I'm losing control" Otis and everyone found them near the meadows – We are your family, we worry about you – Abby said as she came closer to her
Pip took her hoof – I don't know if this will help you… I love you; I really love you – Idrial smiled with some tears on her eyes "I love you too" – while we can feel this love, nothing will separate us – when Pip said that a shadow came closer to them "Love doesn't exist, only pain"
Sophar appeared in front of them, that black unicorn was standing in front of Idrial; all stepped forward to protect Idrial
She walked straight to them "Idrial, come with me" – You're crazy if you think that Idrial will go with you – Otis said as Sophar gave another step forwards and pushed Otis; Abby, Hanna and Peck gave a step backwards and they became horrified when Sophar took Idrial by her neck with her hoof "In this world if you're strong you will live, if you're weak you will die" then, Sophar smiled with an evil smile "that's why I guide those humans to our home"
Idrial's eyes were wide open "you… you killed my friends and my family" she looked straight to Idrial's eyes "yes, but that's not all" she released her throat "when our mother tried to stop me, I killed her"
Everyone was so shocked when Sophar said that – You are a monster! – Pip was really mad with her; somehow Idrial found the strength to rise and started to walk straight to her; Idrial closed her hoof and tried to hit her but Sophar was stronger than her, so she avoided the blow and hurt Idrial with her horn; Sophar's horn was stuck on her side
Idrial shouted in pain as she fell on the floor, bleeding; Otis saw something unusual on Sophar: she was bleeding in the same place where Sophar hurt her
Sophar covered her injury with her hoof at the same time she was breathing whit a few gasp
"This is not over yet, sister, well meet soon again" she disappeared when a cloud passed across the sky; covering everything with a temporary shadow. When that cloud passed Sophar had vanished
When Sophar was gone Idrial rose slowly in pain; she knelt as the blood was running from her injury to the grass – Abby, help me – Otis said and they took her back at the barnyard; she seemed to be hypnotized, Idrial looked nowhere as her hair covered her face – Idrial? – Pip asked as he climb her back and stood on her shoulder
Idrial's tears came out "Kill me" Otis and Abby stopped when Idrial said that – What? – Hanna asked "You saw it, if I get hurt; she will became wounded" Pip became angry when she said that, he came closer to her and slapped her; Pip hands were little, so Idrial didn't felt it – Are you crazy? You really think I'm going to let die the only animal I love? – "if I die, she will die too" they finally arrived at the barnyard and lead Idrial to her stall
Otis went outside the barn and in the middle of the night he saw a yellow shining behind the hills, and then the sound of sirens; fire trucks passed quickly and disappeared on the curve
The next morning Duke came running with the news – Otis! The Beady's farm was destroyed last night! – He came closer to Duke – What? How? –
Duke started to give him all the details – Mr. Beady is at the hospital – he came a little closer to him – Otis, he said that a black one-horned creature started the fire, do you think?... – Idrial appeared behind them "Sophar, what you want to prove?" – What are you talking about? – "She will do whatever it takes to be one again" she was walking when Otis tried to stop her – You're not going to anywhere –
Idrial pushed him away – What's going on? – Abby asked as Otis released her hoof – she wants to face Sophar – by herself? – "Please, you must understand; this is something I have to do"
-We are your family, and if you're going to face her, at least let us go with you- Idrial barely smiled, she nodded as she and everyone walked at her side; it was time to put an end to Sophar's madness
