My Little Amnesia
Chapter five: the Monster in the Light
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApple jack holds her breath as she watches the beast that is rainbow dash walks into the room, she does her best to scoot as close to the corner as possible. Hugging the wall, she gets a view of Rainbow dash’s back, seeing what was left of her wings in better detail. She stares at the boney wings, seeing them covered in blood and thin skin pieces.
She’s gotten even worse; it seems they decompose quickly over time. She thinks quickly, looking around. She notices the book case next to her. She smiles softly as she gets an idea. She grabs one of the books and tosses it into the hallway, starting Fluttershy and she runs towards the sound, thinking that was Apple Jack. This gives Apple Jack her chance, she tackles Rainbow Dash and they both crash onto the table in the room. She grabs the back of Rainbow Dashes head and starts bashing her head against the floor, hearing the cracking of her skull and teeth. In her mind she does everything she can to forget that its Rainbow Dash and that is just a mindless, emotionless monster. She grabs one of the broken legs of the table and uses it to bash Rainbows head more, she keeps hitting her harder and harder until she stops moving. Apple Jack stands there and stares at the blood drenched, broken table leg in her hooves. She’s panting hard; she used a large amount of energy to take out her former friend. She tosses the table leg aside to see the damage that she caused to Rainbow Dash, looking down at the battered remains of her. Her head was split fully open, her blood and brains pouring out on the floor, shattered teeth lying next to her mouth on top of a small puddle of blood.
Why? Why did this happen to us? She thought as her eyes fill with tears.
My friends…Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. Am, am I the only one left? She at a full cry now, her tears landing on the dead corpse of Rainbow and her puddle of blood.
All my friends. Dead and gone? Why? Dear Celestia, why? She covers her eyes with her blood covered hooves, trying to hold back the tears. She quickly raises her head.
No. Twilight can still be alive, I must find her, and I must. She stands up, turns around to leave. She steps out of the room and stops. She turns to look at Rainbow Dash one more time.
“I’m sorry.” She says aloud, “I will find her, and we will get out of this here hell hole.” She tips her hat and runs off down the hall, tears softly rolling down her cheeks. She runs into another room and looks around quickly, she notices on the desk there’s a lantern full of oil.
Thank Celestia! She lights the lantern ad picks it up with her mouth. “I knew that I’d find you-“a creepy soft voice echoes from behind her. She quickly turns around to see Fluttershy standing at the door frame. “It wouldn’t be hard to find you, just follow the smell of blood.” She says with an evil smile. Apple Jack freezes and stares at the beast in front of her. Fluttershy begins to slowly walk toward Apple Jack, smiling softly. She looks at Apple Jacks, still freshly covered with Rainbow’s blood.
“You killed her…” she says quietly and creepily, “Now I will kill you!” she pounces at her; apple jack quickly jumps to the side out of Fluttershy’s attack. She has a clear shot to the door, but before she could go towards it she feels a sharp pain. She falls to the ground, having searing pain in her side, she looks at a bruise now forming where she was just kicked, seeing Fluttershy standing over her.
“Now I have you-” she says looking down at Apple Jack smiling evilly. She tries to stand but Fluttershy stomps her back down by her weakened ribs, Apple Jack gasps for air as Fluttershy pushes her back down. She can feel her weakened body start to slow again, the fatigue was setting in and was fighting her hard, also with the added strength of Fluttershy, who’s pushing down on her brittle bones.
There is no way I’m a going to get up with Fluttershy holding me down, think Apple Jack, think! She looks to Fluttershy’s hind legs.
It’s my only chance. Using the very little strength she has she lifts one of her hind legs and tries to kick her back legs, she can’t reach. Fluttershy notices what she’s trying to do and lifts up her hoof and slams it back down on her; an audible crack is made by the few breaking ribs.
“Ahhhh!” Apple jack screams in agony, the pain shooting through her body. She looks to her lamp with tears in her eyes from the agonizing pain. She grabs the handle with her teeth and with the swing of her head the lantern follows the path and cracks Fluttershy across her head. A loud clunk and crack is heard by Fluttershy’s skull, she stumbles off of Apple jack, and she stands. Her legs wobbly and weak, she can barely hold herself up. Fluttershy continues to stager, she shakes her head trying to gain her balance again. Apple jack can feel the inside of her chest in searing pain, her some of her ribs are broken. She turns to leave the room, limping towards the hallway once more. She takes a look back towards Fluttershy, who now was gathering her balance and starting to see clearly, she sees the gash in her head from the lantern hitting her. Thick, syrup like blood slowly rolling down her face. Apple jack makes it to the hall trying to run but cant, she uses everything she’s got to run but she quickly loses her speed and energy. Her head pounded hard in time with her pounding heart, which made her chest be filled with pain. She can hear Fluttershy not far behind, her talking and her hoof-steps.
“Ohhh where did you go? I saw you come out here.” She says playfully and trying to sound kind. Apple jack knew better, and she left her lantern off. In the dark she couldn’t see her, and she knew that.
I need to keep going, she might not find me, and that will give me time to find Twilight. She feels her throat horse and dry. She hasn’t had anything to drink all night, and then she started to wonder. How long have we been here? It feels like it’s been days! I must have been, and I wouldn’t be able to tell, this castle is darker then the night outside. She begins to look around for any other sources of light; cracks, windows, doors, anything that would give her a small glimpse to the outside world. She stops to listen, Fluttershy is gone. She turns around to look and sees nothing but the long dark hallway she’s been walking in. she feels her head ache get worse so she turns the lantern on. The light floods the hall with light, giving her a much better view of it. She takes a look around, a pile of stone bricks on the floor under a large hole to the next floor. It must have gave out and crashed down here. She notices a room to her left, the door was closed. She walks over to it and gently places her hoof on the handle and twists it slowly, then pushes the door open. It drifts slowly open showing another small study, but it was a mess. The desk had all its drawers pull out and thrown around the room, all the papers are scattered all over the room. There seems to be blood on some of the papers, on the floor, and the desk. As if whoever did this was hurt, but not too bad, it was only drops. Then one the desk, with the pen used to write it stabbed through it, was another note. Apple jack sets her lantern on the desk next to the note.
This place is dangerous, all the doors in and out have all shut and locked, I’ve been looking all over the castle for the keys. I can’t find them anywhere, I’m trapped! And that’s not the worse part, I feel as if I’m going mad. I keep hearing voices, voices telling me terrible things to do, or terrible things that will happen to me. If you find this note, I’m in desperate need of help. Please help me. Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle.
“She’s alive! I just know it, she has to be. “She says quietly to herself, she looks down at the small blood trail, it lead from the door to the desk, a small puddle of it was under the desk. That must be where she was writing it, then it leads toward a knocked over wardrobe. Apple jack walks over to the wardrobe, setting the lantern down in front of it. She gathers her thoughts and prepares herself for the worst. She grabs the handles and opens the doors quickly. It’s empty, nothing inside, no blood puddles or drops either. She takes a step back and looks at the trail more carefully; she notices that under the edges of the wardrobe there is a drop of blood that was half covered by it.
She went behind the wardrobe! But then where? She looks at the wardrobe, and then gets under it to see how heavy it was. It wasn’t that heavy, even in her weakened state she could lift it. She grunts as she lifts it up with her hind legs. She gets it up and against the wall and sees a small passage.
Twilight, you’re smart sugarcube. She grabs the lantern and crawls into the small hole as she gets herself fully in the wardrobe crashes down and blocks her inside.
