One For Now, Two For Later

"Why would she say she murdered Rarity?" Sunset raged.

River sighed. "She said she would help me. But...but I didn't think she would do...this!" she sighed. "At least they can't convict her without proof."

"But H could fake evidence."

"No, H will fake evidence. You need to make sure she's ok."

River's attorney was scrolling through her phone. She blinked. "Wow. This..."

Sunset sat up. "What? What happened?"

Hailey smiled. "The officers now believe that Henna murdered Rarity, without help. Your case is ongoing, but the judge agreed to set bail for you," she paused. "And Rainbow Dash."

"And Henna?" River demanded.

"She's been taken into custody for now. She'll remain detained until they can prove she didn't do it."

Sunset bit back a sob. "Celestia, no!"

Hailey was still on her phone. "The bailout is set."

"Don't say it. I really can't hear this."

"Just tell us," River said.

"For Rainbow, it's ten thousand. For you, it's twenty." (A/N- YES, I made up those numbers.)

"Why is it more for me?"

Hailey sighed. "They think you're the murderer. Rainbow just helped."

Sunset reached for her phone. It was vibrating.

One for murderers. Two for liars. Enjoy prison, sweetie. -H

"Oh my gosh! What is this?" Sunset screamed.

"What's wrong?" Hailey asked.

Sunset calmed herself. "It's nothing. Just some stupid prank."

River blinked. "Are you sure? You sounded really mad." she sighed. "Was it Emerald? I know she doesn't want to talk to me, but please tell her that I'm sorry. Promise me."

"I'll tell her. You'll be home soon. So will Rainbow."

"The trial's in a week," Hailey told them. "I'm going to go. River, I'll see you tomorrow."

River nodded. "Ok. Bye. You should go, too, Sunset. I'm getting tired."

Sunset breathed out. "We'll have you with us again soon. I promise."

"Thank you."

She ran her finger over the wall as she walked to door.

*back at Sunset's house*

Sunset put her bag on her small bed.

Her small buzzer went off. She opened her door.

"Hi, Sunset. Do you remember me?"

"Blair. What are you doing here?"

Blair touched her wheel. "Can I come in?"

Sunset pushed her door. "Yeah, come on. I just got back from visiting my friend. How are you?"

She smiled. "I just wanted to thank you for getting my father arrested. He murdered my sister, and blamed me. He also crippled me when my mother died."

"Well, I have a lot of fun getting people out of jail now. Have you seen Josi?"

"No. I heard Sylvie was dead."

"She is."

Blair sighed. "Anyway, that's not why I came. I was just in the hospital, and three people came to see me. I don't know any of them. The names were Colette, Evie, and Applejack."

Sunset blinked. "You saw Applejack?"

"Yeah, a few days ago."

"Josi. You stay here. I'll be back soon."

-

H shoved a jacket into Evie's hands. "You now what to do," she whispered.

Evie shook her head. "No. I can't kill her."

"She needs to die. If you don't, I'll kill you."

-

Sunset threw Pinkie's door open. "Where is she!"

It wasn't a question.

"Who?" Fluttershy asked.

"APPLEJACK!"

Applejack dropped her coffee mug. "What's wrong?"

Sunset glared at her. "Why were you in Massachusetts, visiting Blair? We thought H had attacked you! We thought you were dead! And why were you with Colette?"

She bit her lip. "How do you know this?"

"Tell me! No. You know what? Tell US!"

"I went to see Blair," Applejack wracked her brain for a lie. She felt sweat prick her forehead. "Josi was there. So was Sylvie." She forced a tear. "Then I saw Evie murder Sylvie! Sylvie knew that Evie murdered Rarity. When she threated to tell the police, Evie killed her." Applejack gasped. "I have to go!"

Sunset, Fluttershy, and Pinkie ran out after her.

Evie was hiding in the bushes. She pressed the trigger on her gun, and felt the bullet fire.

Fluttershy gasped.

"What!" Pinkie screamed.

Sunset pulled up Fluttershy's shirt, and saw where the bullet struck her stomach. Blood was already pumping down her hip.
Pinkie quickly called 911.

"Help!" Sunset screamed.

-

Evie kicked H. "YOU MADE ME KILL HER!"

H glared at her. "You'll never get home. I want them all dead!"

"You're never going to get them here!"

"Yeah I will. I can do a lot, Evie. Or should I call you-"

"I swear to Celestia, if you call me that, I'll stab your heart out! I'll take care of them. Just never call me that."

-

Sunset felt a hand cover her face. She tried to scream.

"No...it's ok."

"Rainbow?"

Rainbow Dash smiled. "It's me."

Sunset hugged her. "I missed you."

She nodded. "I missed you, too. River's coming. Hailey had to pick her up."

"I'm so glad you're back."

"I knew I would see you again. The hardest part was not knowing when."

"But you're here now."

"Evie came to visit me. So did Colette. And Josi."

Sunset blinked. "Wait, they were there?"

Rainbow nodded. "It was really weird.  We never really talked to Colette. But she was really nice. When I saw Evie, she was usually just asking me about H, or wanting to meet Colette. Then Josi only came one time. She wanted to know about you. I saw Colette every day at 4. Then she stopped coming. So did Evie."

"We think Evie's H."

"I know. Me too." She sighed. "How's Fluttershy?"

Sunset sighed. "The doctor said that she's going to be fine. I think she's still shocked that her baby is dead."

"I know I would be."

"What should we do?"

"What can we do?"

Their phones went off.

Can you see me? Cause I'm right here. Can you listen? Cause I really need your help. You should know I'm not H. And I know where Rarity's body is. -Evie

"What the heck!" Rainbow screamed.

"So we don't know who H is." Sunset sighed.

Rainbow grabbed her bag. "Get your keys."

Sunset blinked. "I don't own a car, Rainbow. Can't we just walk?"

"No. Get someone else's keys."

"You want me to steal a car."

"YES, little girl. Now come on! You're taking forever!"

"Where are we going?"

"To Candyland," she hissed. "Colette's house. Let's go! It's like, an hour away!"

Sunset glanced at another table. A set of keys was laying on it. She grabbed them, and pushed Rainbow outside.

Then a beeping rang out.

"Oh my gosh!" Rainbow hissed. "I have to be home. Get to her house, then come see me later."

Sunset nodded. "Ok, bye."

She found the car, and started it. Then she started driving to Manhattan.

-

"Why are you going to Manhattan?" Sour Sweet asked.

"To see Colette," Sunset told her. "How's Fluttershy?"

"She's unconscious."

"This person in front of me is so slow! Wait. It's Josi."

"Follow her."

"I will. I'll call you back soon."

"Be careful."

Indigo stared at her. "Do you think she'll be ok?"

Sour Sweet nodded. "She's fine."

Sunny bit her lip. "Do you trust her?"

"I don't think we have a choice."

-

Sunset parked her stolen car.

Josi smiled. "Did they believe you?"

"I think so."

"Good. You're a great liar."

Sunset smiled. "I learned from you."

She nodded. "You did. Come on. Evie really wants to meet you."

They walked into a small bar.

Evie was waiting. "Hi, Sunset Shimmer."

"You're Evie."

"I- I am? Wow, I didn't know that. Did you, Josi?"

Josi shook her head.

Sunset rolled her eyes. "Can you answer my questions?"

Evie sighed. "I can only be here for an hour. Ask away. But I may not want to answer."

"Where's Rarity?"

Evie bit her lip. She was holding her leg so hard. Her nails dug into her skin, and she was bleeding a little bit. "I can't tell you yet. You'll know soon, I swear."

"Is she dead?"

"Yes."

"Did you kill her?"

"No."

"Do you know who H is?"

"Not yet."

"Why did you visit Rainbow?"

"I had to see Colette."

"And you needed help for that?"

"Yes."

"Why did you murder Sylvie?"

Evie gasped. "I- I..."

Sunset stared at her. "Evie, I really need to know. You have to tell me. And why did you tell us that River is H?"

Josi leaned back in her chair.

Evie blinked away tears. "I did it...because I...because H..." she shook her head. "Because...I had to...and then..." she stopped.

-

Henna tugged at her orange jumpsuit. She was sitting on her hard 'mattress'.

"Lights out!" an officer called.

She didn't move.

One of the officers banged on her cell bars. "Turn your light off."

"Leave me alone."

The door flew open. The officer, who was a lady, grabbed the suit over her chest, and hauled River to her feet, then pushed her to the floor. "When we tell you to do something, you do it! You're just a worthless idiot, do you hear me? Turn your light off!"

Henna shook her head. "You hurt my butt."

"Get up."

She glared at the officer.

Then she was pulled up again, and pushed into the wall.

"Ok, I'll turn off my light."

"Finally."

"But I think you should push me again first. I really didn't learn my lesson yet."

The officer grabbed her collar, and dragged her down the hall. She choked. Then she was thrown into a chair.

"You're on trial for murder. I think you need a lesson on manners."

"Manners! Great, I'm five again!"

"If you talk back to me again, I'll make sure you never get out of prison."

Henna sighed. "Ok. Can I get back to my cage?"

The officer put her back in her cell. She slammed the door right in Henna's face. "Good night, murderer."

A tear slid down Henna's cheek.

Good night, murderer.

But I'm not a murderer. I just want to protect my friends.

People in other cells were staring at her. She flinched.

-

Blair stood up. "They really think I can't walk."

"They're idiots," the other one told her.

"I can't believe Sunset Shimmer got me out of jail."

She smiled. "Trust me. After you take the stand, they'll all know how it feels to be locked in jail for murder."

Blair smirked. "And you can make sure they stay in jail for life?"
"Yes. You'll never be hurt again."

"I love you."

"Kiss me."

Blair kissed her lips. "I love you, Sylvie."

Outside, H snapped pictures of Blair and Sylvie. Then they ran from the house.

A/N
OOOOHHHH!!!!
Fluttershy was SHOT, Rainbow was let out of jail, Henna's been arrested, Sunset's meeting with EVIE, and Sylvie's NOT dead.
This was a fun chapter.
So, they're close to finding H...but not close enough.
-
I still need a name for you, my readers and followers. But I'll think of one.
BYEEEEE!
