"Is it safe?" >She shifts up and down by your hoof. >Please don't be mad. >Twilig-...err.. Mommy, before your incident had problems with you barging in. >First birthday, was proof of that. >Well...here goes nothing. >Opening the first door, you feel the cold air of the tundra sting you. >Even more so, since you were covered in a freezing sweat. >Nervous, of what mommy might say. >Taking steps towards the second door, you pause. >Breath in. >And out. >Here goes nothing. >Entering "Her" sleeper car, you find all the lights are still lit. >She has her back to you, she's muttering to herself. >Shutting the door, caused her ears to perk. >your heart is pounding out of your chest. >Twilight turns her head at you. >Her mane is disheveled. >The voice you've known to be filled with anger and dangerous malice, sounded fearful speaking to you. >"O-Oh, Hey there little filly. Uh, W-What can I do for you?" >Odd, it's almost as if she didn't recognize you. >Though, she didn't seem immediately angry. This allowed you release the vise around your heart a bit further. >Taking a couple of steps toward her, she seemed upset about something. >Maybe use something to take her mind off it? "I-I had a bad dream mommy, would alright if I slept with you tonight?" >She winces and cringes and you mentioning 'Mommy'. >Maybe lying made it worse, she seemed even more distraught. >"Er...N-not sweetie bun, Mommy's tired tonight." >Sweetie bun? "Then why do you have the lights on?" >Scrunching her mouth, mommy seems to stutter on her words. >"Well it's because...Uhm, I l-like to...sleep with them on. YES, Because I like to sleep with the lights on." >This answer didn't satisfy you. "But-" >She cuts your off >"No more questions sweetie, tomorrows a big day, and a filly need plenty of sleep for big day." >Tacking it with a nervous laugh, she guides you back to your sleeper car. >You stop her at the open space between each car. >Dared to ask her a million bit question, you were unsure of what response it would entail. "Do you love me Mommy?" >NO wait, that was a dumb question. >She looked at you with nervousness, as if searching for something, and not finding it. >"I-I do, yes." >Doubt was set in your mind. >Getting onto your rear hooves, you wrap your forehooves around her. "Don't be nervous Mommy. You being nervous, makes me nervous." >Maybe comfort and confrontation is all you needed to sooth her. >Twilight refused to return the hug though. >"T-Thank you, S-so much." >Her breath quivered in and out. >"S-so...m-much" >Something fell onto your back, it felt wet. >Tears, maybe? >She tried to tear away. >"I-I don-..Y-You" >HISS. >Mommy lunged forward, bend on forcing you to the floor. >Like predator and prey. >Though the floor she tried to force you on, was actually the chain railing of the inter-car hallway. >Heart leaping into your mouth, you tried to hold your grip on to Mommy. >But your were flailing. >Catching nothing but air. >A blur a greys and whites seemed to whiz by as you somersaulted through the air of out of the train. >A little part thought, that maybe Twilight might use her magic and grab you. >Maybe laugh a little at the incident. >Nope. >All you did was make first impact into the tundra snow. >Soft, and muffled. >Almost like a feathered pillow. >Second impact. >Hard, rough, and dull. >Third and fourth ripped each other apart in time as you skipped on the snow, like a stone on the lake. >Eventually, after chilled, pain filled eternity you managed to come to rest to see the fleeting train. >you sat as the train fled your sight. >and as you grayed out, your weakened form tried to reach toward the train. >Your attempt at a holler of help came out as nothing but a whisper of death. >L-Lights out. >All that came to you were nightmares. >Ones filled with betrayal, images of death, and abandonment by your mother. >Though such dreams could only be short-lived as you jolted awake in the snowy tundra. >More or less you had awakened as your body tried to prevent you from freezing to death. >An all or nothing approach so to speak. >The freezing, paralyzing cold was all that could be thought of as you shook violently. >And as your body provided futile attempts to warm your coated body, you pry your eyes open to see the same scene from last time. >Empty, dark railroad track, all caked in by the tundra's punishing snow. >Survive. >That all you must do. >Survive. >Shakily raising your weakened body, you take a moment to think of a plausible plan to escape this situation. >The only that could be thought of? >Start walking. >Taking your first steps forward, the only chance you'd have of surviving is if you manage to walk your way to the Crystal Empire. >A few steps up the way, you see your friend again. >Miss Hornet. >You had almost forgotten about her. >Picking her up by your teeth and placing her onto your back, you two begun the treacherous journey. >Step >Step >Step >Snow >Snow >And more snow, >It had seemed like hours had gone by, and walking through it all, never seemed to changed, the only aspect that would change. Is the rising sun in the distance. >It, the only source available, was providing you a substantial amount of warmth. >Well at least so much so that you wouldn't freeze completely. >Crunch >Crunch. >Crunch. >This seemed endless. >At this point in your walking journey you had stopped shivering from the cold. >The worrisome thing is that you aren't sure if it's from the cold, or from the sun providing heat. >Only time would tell. >If it were the first, you'd soon collapse and die. >Push on. >You couldn't let this kill you. >in the distance you could heal the angelic call of the angels. >Though, why did they sound so high pitched? >Drowsily, you turn your head towards the noise. >It's sound getting louder and louder. > Bright lights in the distance, they get brighter and brighter. >The call gets louder and louder. >They have come to claim you. >The angelic train? >Sudden realization kicks into your mind >A train! >Having a sudden kick of adrenaline hit your tiny body, you yelp as you jump out of the way. >The train screams by as you narrowly escape it by jumping into the shallow tundra fields.
