     Sweetie Belle lay in Applebloom's bed, awake. She stared into the darkness, then looked at her sleeping friend. Why? Why do you help me? I don't need your help. I don't need you. I don't need anypony. She sighed and got up silently, without waking her friend. Her dull and lifeless eyes looked at the door, then her hooves turned the knob.

What am I doing? She thought as she went down stairs into the kitchen. I can't stop. She went over to the knife drawer. Stop. She put her magic on the knob. Stop it. She opened the drawer, it showed differnt sizes and shapes of knives. Stop it! She picked up a big knife. STOP IT!!

The light in the kitchen turned on. "Yaaawwwnn, Oh Sweetie Belle. What'cha ya doin up?" Applebloom looked over to her friend. Sweetie put down the knife and closed the drawer. She looked at Applebloom, her eyes looked dull. Applebloom looked concerningly at her friend, then put a hoof on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"Yes." 
"Are you sure?" 
"Yes, I'm absolutely fine." 

Sweetie Belle ran from Applebloom, and out the door. Applebloom watched as her friend ran outside into the darkness. She sighed. "Oh Sweetie Belle... You never do change, do you?" She said to herself.

Sweetie Belle fell to the ground, exhausted. She had been running for 8 hours straight, it was almost dawn. Her legs felt broken, and she was soaked. It was raining now, thunder made the air shake. Sweetie could barely move, she was in much pain. She could hear hoofsteps coming closer. I wonder.. If that's applebloom... 
She felt dizzy, her vision blurred. She heard a distance voice calling her name, then she felt the rain stop and a figure appeared infront of her. "Sweetie Belle! Sweetie Belle" She couldn't hear, and her world went black.
