Strong Hooves 289 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 (edited) Cloud finally stopped before a tombstone on the far side of the cemetery, surprisingly, the tombstone still stood, albeit a little damaged. He placed the flower in front of the tombstone and lowered his head, after a moments silence, he spoke quietly, "H...hey mom... S-sorry I havent been here in a while... Things here have been... hectic... I decided to stop by and talk to you before I left... Good news mom... I uh, met some new ponies, they're pretty cool, but I think one of them doesnt really like me... There's also this really pretty mare, she's amazing, I think you would've liked her." he sighed, a few tears running down his face before he continued, "I know I always say that I wish you were here with me... so I could have the chance to get to know you... but right now, the way things are here... I think wherever you are is much better... I love you mom, even if I never met you" he sighed backing away from the tombstone, next to the grave, a small stepping stone lay next to it, he went to it and lifted it up. Under the stone, a small hole appeared, Cloud reached into the hole and pulled out a small locket, it was square shaped with a single sapphire in the middle of it, complete with a small chain, he opened the locket and smiled a little as he saw the picture within it was undamaged. He put the locket around his neck and began to walk back to the others, suddenly losing the energy to fly anywhere...

Electrobolt 2,069 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 While EB and Jetstorm were still walking to the cemetery, EB had noticed Cloud walking towards them. "Cloud...?" he thought in his mind as he was still approaching the cemetery. Then upon getting close enough, he finally spoke up, "...Hey..."

Strong Hooves 289 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Cloud didnt notice EB at first, since he was looking at the ground, but as the colt spoke to him, he looked up, his eyes drained of their ususal energy and his wings hanging limply on their sides, he mustered up enough energy to respond to EB, "Uh... Hi..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrobolt 2,069 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 "Uh..." EB muttered, trying to think of something else to say, but being unable to say something, he looked away for a second. Then when he looked back, he tried to ask him something, but instead all that came out of his mouth was, "You... Uh... That is, um..." Needless to say, words were failing to come out of his mouth at this moment. Finally, he shook his head and said, "N... Nevermind, forget I said anything..." before continuing to the cemetery.

Electrobolt 2,069 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 As he finally arrived at the cemetery, he began to look around for his parents' tombstones. "Where are you..." he whispered to himself as he looked at each individual tombstone, trying to find the ones that had his parents.

Strong Hooves 289 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Cloud slowly and sullenly nodded, the locket around his neck swinging slightly, he muttered a quiet response, "I'll be fine... thanks for asking..." he tried to give a convincing smile, but it felt lopsided, as if his mouth wanted to stay in a frown rather than the other way around.

Finesthour 7,287 January 26, 2012 Author Share January 26, 2012 Rose's heart drooped as she saw through his disguise. She walked up to him without saying a word and hugged him tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Cloud never expected the hug, but gladly accepted it. He hugged her back, wishing that he could stay like this... with her... tears escaped his eyes as he continued to hug her, he squeezed his eyes shut, hoping to stop their flow.

Electrobolt 2,069 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 "Yeah..." EB replied. He continued looking until he saw two familiar names. Right there, he sat on the ground and closed his eyes, thinking, "Mom... Dad... I'm here... I... I miss you so much..." Tears then began to stream down his face as he sat there. "I... I wish there was something I could have done something... Five years ago..." Suddenly, the memories came rushing to his mind, the memories of what happened five years ago. This memory caused him to collapse to the ground as the streams of tears were gushing out like a waterfall. "Why... Why..." was all he could say before getting choked up from the memories. "Why... Why did the bridge have to collapse on the two of you...? Why couldn't it hold up for ten more seconds..." Electrobolt | Grand Journeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz. 1,078 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Mint's jealousy only grew, a mind-consuming feeling. He still had enough strength to contain himself and feign happiness. "Yeah Cloud, we're here for you. All of us. We're all here for each other, it's what we need in a terrible time like this." http://alt="img-3411728-1-kQpW0ME.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Hooves 289 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 (edited) Cloud couldnt help but chuckle at Rose's comment, he blinked away his tears and sighed, now speaking in a stronger tone as he replied, "Yeah...
