The Day My Life Ended (Editing)

Chapter Five (Revised)

With the bike, I made it to school in no time. The drive here had calmed me down. Not by too much. A part of me wanted to turn back home to run the girls over with the bike.

Honestly, how did they think using my daughter? About telling her my secret? She was supposed to have a few more years of peace before she was taught about our family business. If I ever worked up the courage for it, I would explain to her calmly and with all the grace a mother should show when explaining things to a child.

Lilac was only seven years old. She wasn't near ready for all this insanity. She was already a dragon surrounded by ponies. What kind of mother would I be if I threw her into this world too?

Yep. That's right. I'm a teenage mother at fifteen. Sue me.

But that doesn't matter. I'm at a place where very little can bother me. School. Okay, that was a total lie. School sucks because I'm stuck in a class with; dorks, daredevils and class clowns. Still, it's better than dealing with six ex-ponies and an ex-dragon trying to get back to Equestria. Equestria, where my daughter was confused and lost.

My school is your basic private school. It was really small, since it started only three years ago. My parents had this big idea to create their own school, enrolling my brothers and I in it.

They thought for sure that they'd been 'blessed by god' when kids flocked in. That's all they would tell anyone for months after. 'We've been blessed by God. He has seen our work and called it good.'

It was on the edge of upsetting. It felt like God was apologizing to my family for my powers. It's never made me feel great. You never feel strongly about your relationship with Our Holy Father, when your powers could be mistaken for demonic.

It would scare you too whenever you stood close to hallowed ground. I was always scared I'd be struck by lightning, or become a real life example of spontaneous human combustion.

So yeah. I don't know why I wouldn't have brought Lilac into the family sooner.

When I walked in the school building ("It's another one of God's blessings, Morgan!") I saw Caroline standing just down the hall by a supply closet. She was alone, so I guessed she had been waiting on me.

She saw me, smiling and adding a wave. I gave a tense smile back.

"Hey Morgan, what happened at karaoke last night?" She asked me. "Anna and Maddie said you ran into other friends?"

Now, how do I answer this without sounding like a nutcase? "Yeah. They...found out I was there. They wanted to...be a part of my life?"

"You haven't mentioned them before." Caroline noted. Her eyebrow was raised, staring at me with friendly suspicion.

"I didn't know they were friends until recently...that's probably changing, anyway." 'Because I will have killed them by lunch.'

"No problem Morgue. It's good to see you branching out." Caroline explained. She picked up her backpack up from the ground. The zipper was undone, so some of her books fell out with a heavy clap.

She yelped back in surprise, I flinched. A voice in the supply closet squeaked.

Caroline and I had our eyes locked on it.

"What was that?" Caroline asked me.

"I don't know." 'But I have an awful idea.'

'Please don't be Spike. Please don't be Spike. Please don't be Spike!' I thought as I carefully opened my the door.
