  1. >Ugh. Where am I?
  2. >You try to sit up.
  3. >"Hello, Anonymous."
  4. >Celestia?
  5. >You're laying on a bed. From the look of the room, you're somewhere in the palace.
  6. "Why can't I move?"
  7. >"Well, you've been in bed for almost a month now. You're probably very stiff."
  8. "A month? What happened?"
  9. >"Well, there's no way to sugarcoat it. You were possessed."
  10. >You manage to sit up.
  11. "Possessed? By what?"
  12. >"A particularly nasty entity. Twilight noticed the signs after your... encounter. We believe it was in the cave you and Fluttershy sought shelter in."
  13. >Twilight?
  14. >Fluttershy?
  15. >The events of the past few months hit you like a bull.
  16. >If you had any food in your stomach you'd have puked.
  17.  
  18. ----
  19.  
  20. >You fall to your knees and begin to sob.
  21. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" You manage to wail in between your inelegant blubbering.
  22. >"I'm sorry, Anonymous," Celestia says. "But I'm not the one you need to apologize to."
  23. >The large door on the other side of the room opened.
  24. >There stood all of your old friends.
  25. >All of your victims.
  26. >The sight made you ill.
  27. >Rainbow Dash's eye was still somewhat swollen, her wings in splints.
  28. >Rarity was limping.
  29. >You broke down again.
  30. >You wished you could just will yourself to die.
  31. >You feel something nudge you.
  32. >You look up.
  33. >It's Twilight.
  34. >"Anonymous."
  35. >You sit up and try to stop crying. You prepare for the worst.
  36. "We forgive you."
  37. "What?" Is all you can say, dumfounded.
  38. >"We know you weren't yourself when you did those... things. So we forgive you. Because that's what friends do."
  39. >You stare at her, wide eyed for a moment, then hug her.
  40. >She jumps at the action.
  41. >You don't blame her.
  42.  
  43. ----
  44.  
  45. >It's been about a year.
  46. >It seems things have gotten back to as normal as they're going to get.
  47. >You never forgave yourself for what happened.
  48. >And despite their claims, you get the feeling the girls never did, either.
  49. >Twilight and Pinkie Pie seem to have mostly gotten over it.
  50. >Although, Pinkie now has somewhat frequent bouts of depression.
  51. >And neither of them will be alone with you anymore.
  52. >Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack are much colder to you than before, and neither stay around you very long.
  53. >Rarity insists she's forgiven you, but you can hear the hatred in her voice on the rare occasions you talk.
  54. >You just avoid going near her.
  55. >The worst of all is Fluttershy. She hasn't uttered a word to you since that day in the cave.
  56. >She'll go out of her way to avoid you if she sees you in town.
  57. >Most of the ponies do, really.
  58. >You rebuilt your house.
  59. >You don't leave it unless you have to.
  60. >You're out of food again.
  61. >You don't think you'll be buying more.
