A/N: Hi everyone! I am so so sorry for the wait! The school and the holidays were just too much for me... But hey! I updated! Yay!
And everyone, thank you sooo much for the reviews! I didn't think this story would get any! :D
Oh, by the way, There will be some mature content (A bit gore...) in this chapter. So, yeah... Just a warning...
Last time...
There was a loud knocking sound at the door
"Twily! Hey little sis? Come on open up! We need your help!" Shinning armors voice yelled.
Fear entered my heart.
I was going to be taken back.
Now
Shade's P.O.V.
My heart beat frantically against my rib cage hearing Shining Armor at the door. The mane six stared at each other, but mostly at Princess Twilight "Twilight, what are we going to do? We can't let them take Shade back." Fluttershy exclaimed walking to her friend's side.
Twilight stared at me over her shoulder with no sympathy in her purple eyes, which was fine because I didn't want any. "She isn't suppose the be here Fluttershy." She stated walking towards the door her brother was still knocking on.
Rainbow dash stepped in her way with a look of disappointment on her face "Your supposed to be the princess of Friendship Twilight, and that is what this pony want's." she said fiercely. Twilight stepped past her without hesitation "She isn't a pony Rainbow, she is a fugitive from Princess Celestia." She turned to me "She will never be my friend." She muttered and turned back to the door.
"How would you feel if you were locked up your whole life because of who your parents were? They treat her like a mistake but we have all learned there are no mistakes, all Shade wants is here freedom." Rainbow called as Twilight put her hoof on the door. Applejack came to me and helped me to my feet "Come on sugar cube, we need to get you out of here." She whispered in my ear. I found myself pretty much leaning up against here as she walked me to the window. The pain in my chest was unbearable but I had to fight through it if I wanted to stay free.
Twilight looked at me from over her shoulder "I'm not going to lie to my brother for her, so you guy's might want to get her out of here before I open this door." She warned. Rainbow dash and Fluttershy looked at each other than ran over to me and Applejack.
They put my arms around them and took off out of the window. When we were a good distance from the castle I saw how much they were struggling.
"Gah! Come on Shade you gotta help us a little!" Rainbow exclaimed fighting to stay in the air. "I can't spread my wings, it hurts too much. You were able to fly with me before Rainbow dash, why can't you now?" I said trying to ignore the pain in my chest. "Touché, but Fluttershy can't do this without a little more help and if she goes down so will I." she said looking at her Pegasus friend.
I looked to see sweat beading down Fluttershy's face as she tried to carry me to her home.
Slowly I extended my grey wings and flapped them gently. I cringed from the pain it caused me but I fought the pain since it helped Fluttershy. "Come on Shade! Just fight through the pain for a little bit longer." Fluttershy urged looking at my pain twisted face.
My vision began to get blurry and grew darker. I began to get light headed causing my wings to stop flapping as much.
"Rainbow! Fluttershy! Down here!" yelled a familiar voice from the ground. We all looked to see Applejack running below with a cart. "How did she get down there so fast?" I asked groggily.
Neither of them answered, they just flew down and laid me in the cart careful not to hurt me. Fluttershy sat beside me as Applejack and Rainbow rushed the cart to where Fluttershy lived. Fluttershy touched my forehead and made a grim face "She is running a temperature and she is losing consciousness! We need to hurry!" she yelled over the thundering of her friends hooves. She looked at me now, everything was going black around me "Hang in there Shade, just hold on." She whispered to me.
I stared at the moon, remembering my mother beying trapped in it. My heart ached thinking of her and tears welled in my eyes thinking about how she was feeling about now.
I felt the cart come to a stop and I heard animals around me. Looking around I saw trees but that was about all I could see in the darkness. "We are here Fluttershy! We have to get her inside!" Rainbow exclaimed climbing into the cart beside me.
Applejack and Rainbow tried to pick me up, but I screamed in pain as the rib that stuck out of me poked out more.
The last thing I saw was Rainbow dash covered in blood, Fluttershy crying, and Applejack trying to stop the bleeding.
