The Dark Sunset

Well, at least everything turned out, right? Everyone will find out who 
Anon-A-Miss really was and Sunset herself would be off the hook. Right?

Wrong.

Wrong!

Sunset had wanted so much to believe that, but she couldn't.

She had tried so much, worked so hard to prove that she had changed.

And for awhile she had actually thought she was making progress.

After all she had five friends who loved her no mater what now, didn't she?

No, she knew now that she didn't.

They weren't her friends, she realized that now as she held her leather 
jacket closed trying to hide in it as the chill night air seemed to actually 
get colder in just a few moments.

It wasn't like she had a place to sleep tonight. She already told the 
homeless shelter that she had a place to stay for the week since everyone 
was hosting a slumber party, a different night each. She doubted that they 
still had a bed for her.

Looking up into the streetlight that was illuminating the snowflakes as they 
flurried by, she watched Superman fly by as he kept and eye on Canterlot 
City.

'Too bad he can't help me.' she thought. 'My troubles are beyond his power.'

"Why do they hate me? They promised me that they were my friends, that they 
loved me?" Sunset sobbed out. It was going to be a cold night, and instead 
of spending it at a friend's house she would likely be spending it in the 
open cold air.

She didn't get an answer, not that she expected to get one. She was alone, a 
fact that she would have to get used to.

Following the path she was on, Sunset came to her favorite park. During the 
spring and summer, she would often come out her and sit by the pond and feed 
the birds. It was so relaxing, and there was something about the place that 
just made her feel good. It was so beautiful and peaceful.

In the winter it was still beautiful and peaceful, though in a different 
way. The pond was frozen over, and though she would expect people to come 
skate on it the park had made it against the rules after some kid fell 
through the ice last winter. Thankfully they were pulled out before anything 
bad could happen to them. Well, unless you counted the yuki onna. But the 
mutations she caused had actually helped the kid. And healed all his health 
problems up. Even if he would be a she for the rest of her life.

Walking over to her favorite bench, the one she had had her first lesbian 
and first public sex experience on, Sunset brushed the snow off the wooden 
seat before collapsing onto it. Hugging herself she leaned forward, rocking 
a little. More tears joined the first, as she once again asked herself 
'Why?'

She knew she was once a royal bitch to the entire school but she had thought 
that after the Battle of the Bands and that mess with Starswirl's 
sealed-evil-in-a-can banished-to-another-world, aka the Sirens, magic 
problem  everything was forgiven. It seemed like all of her hard work was 
paying off as she had friends and people who smiled and greeted her 
everyday.

She even had five awesome friends who she did everything with. Sure she 
still had her secrets from them, such as being a homeless prostitute. It 
wasn't something she wanted them to know.

Yet the last few days had shown just how little her friends really cared 
about her. They didn't believe her. Sunset had thought that after everything 
they would have trusted her. She was the freaking Element of Trust for 
crying out loud.

Sitting here in the cold night, crying, Sunset couldn't figure out how they 
could betray her so.

Sunset sighed heavily. She knew the answer, had always feared it. But she 
needed to face it.

She was unloved and unwanted both here and in Equestria, where she had a 
death sentence hanging over her head. Celestia had never forgiven her for 
what she did. Sentencing her to execution the next morning kinda gave that 
impression to he r then.

"I give up." Sunset said, as she pulled a small pocket knife from her 
pocket.

It was a small thing, usually used to do small things such as cutting string 
or ribbon since the blade itself was pretty sharp.

It would be so easy to do something else with it.

Pulling back the sleeves of her jacket Sunset unfolded the knife and began 
tracing it over the skin of her wrist. It felt so cold against her skin, the 
blade running up and down her arm as she debated if this was really what she 
wanted.

~'You secret stealer!' Pinkie had accused her~, the memory making Sunset 
press down on the knife drawing a thin line of blood.

~'You're not our friend!' Fluttershy cried~, as Sunset herself was crying. 
Yet another memory that brought even more pressure for the next cut, even 
more crimson liquid pooling up around the small laceration.

~'How could you do this? After all we've been through together?' Rarity 
asked, disappointment filling her voice.~

Sunset sobbed out as she slashed at her wrist this time, fumbling with the 
blade so it drew blood, but not much. Crimson droplets were starting to 
stain the snow below as she sat there shivering from the cold, and 
shuddering from her sobs.

~'I'm sorry, but you did this to us. Tell whatever secrets you want. But we 
don't have to listen.' Applejack had said~, the memory drawing a loud sob 
from Sunset as she cut another slash into her wrist. Switching hands, Sunset 
gripped the knife, though watching the blood flow was making her feel 
weaker, even if she really hadn't lost all that much.

And finally, ~'Hey! Get out!' Rainbow Dash snapped out, Applejack following 
up with, 'Yer not welcome here, Sunset!'~

With another loud sob Sunset brought the knife up with the last memory, 
intending to bring it across her wrist to hopefully cut an artery or 
something. She didn't care, she just wanted the memories and pain to go 
away.

~'Yer not welcome here, Sunset!'~

~'Yer not welcome here, Sunset!'~

~'Yer not welcome here, Sunset!'~

The same line that Applejack and made kept repeating in her mind, reminding 
her they didn't want her. She wasn't welcome here. She never was, and was 
stupid to think otherwise. With her hand shaking uncontrollably, Sunset then 
very quickly slashed her vulnerable wrists.

The blood gushed out in a torrent from both her wrists.

Sunset just looked at it, and smiled.

"Soon." she mummered. "Soon I will be free of this thing. This pain filled 
thing called life... with all it's betrayals, lies, and people abandoning 
me."

Sunset fell unconscious.

A shadowy figure then walked over to Sunset's dying body. "Is this her?" he 
asked.

"Yes." said a shadowy figure shaped like an equine. "This is her. The pain 
of her 'friends' betrayal led her to this now to escape from it."

The man looked at the dying girl and said "In many ways she is like me. Once 
regarded as a monster. Trying to find 'redemption'. Trying to find some 
reason to believe. Then finding it. Only for it to have turned out to be a 
lie. I will help her to get vengeance on the ones who did this to her."

The man held his hand to Sunset's body and dark, writhing tendrils burst 
forth and settled into her body. He pulled his hand back. He nodded in 
satisfaction at the result.

He nodded and looked down at her body. "Welcome to my Cadre Elite, Sunset 
Shimmer. We will take our vengeance on humanity for it's betrayals of us."

Alex Mercer smiled.
