The Ark

9th of June

I'm keeping this journal as a way to keep my sanity, if it's still possible. If somepony finds me hanging from the floor without any sing of life, this small notebook will be key to finding the reason of my death. My name is Twilight Sparkle, I'm Princess Celestia's personal student. I live in Ponyville library with my dragon assistant Spike. In the last days I was blackmailed, I found body parts in my closet, and one of my best friends died on my eyes. I'm shaking while I write this. *writing becomes more shaky* Yesterday I was running away from a terrible pale monstrosity that captured, and probably murdered my dear friend Fluttershy. I was able to escape, probably only because the creature needed me. After my escape I ran to the Fluttershy's cottage as I foolishly hoped that I imagined the whole thing. I felt like I died, painfully when I saw that the house was empty. I ran to the library, locked myself in my room and cried. I think I stayed there for two hours. *Writing becomes even more shaky* It is a horrible feeling, knowing that you will never hear her voice again, never see her again, never hug her again. Even more that she won't even get a proper funeral. She will be just missing forever. All of my friends will probably have hope that she can be found. But not me, I know the truth. I couldn't sleep last night., I didn't even really want to. I saw him again, he was looking trough my window. He was smiling. I was sure of that. He doesn't have a mouth, but I feel like he was smiling. Laughing at my sorrow. I want to die. I just want to end it all, I have enough. But I know, that if I commit suicide, they will kill my friends. Not even to punish me, just because they feel it's fun.

I feel nothing. Just yesterday I was crying, I was feeling sorrow, sadness. Today I feel nothing. My body still shakes, tears still run from my eyes. But I'm like empty shell. Like a puppet that only imitate life. It's even worse actually. Only thing I can feel now is irritation. I feel irritated that I can't feel anything. I cry, I scream, I shake, but that's only an illusion of real sadness. Today I tried to research The Ark. The object that I'm blackmailed to find. I have been able to translate some of the texts. From what I gathered, the books are writings on ancient mythology, telling the tales about the world before Celestia and Luna came to power. The stories are different, but all of them tell about a flood caused by Gods to kill an ancient race. Most of them tell that it was because of sins that this race committed, others tell that it was because of simple mistake. I'm still having those weird nightmares, strangely corresponding to what I read in the texts, this can't be a coincidence.

I hear tapping when I go to bed. Like a giant frog slowly walking trough my room.  I remember the fish monsters from my dreams. They are real, I know they are real. Spike can hear it too. He asked me about this. I told him that it's one of my devices, I need to fix. He does no longer believe me."

*The writing is shaky and hard to read* They've told me that I can bring her back, only if I find it. This is probably a lie. I shouldn't believe in it, but I want, I really want to. Besides if they can control such monsters as... those I saw in the forest, then who knows? Maybe they can bring back the dead.

10th of June (afternoon)

I saw the newspaper, Rainbow Dash found out that Fluttershy is gone. Rarity tried to visit me today, I did my best to act naturally but I saw in her eyes that she was not convinced about my state. I've done some more research and managed to translate some words, but no real progress was made.

Twilight was lying in her bed, turning from side to side. Trying to not look behind her. There was something in the dark, lurking in the darkness. Observing her. Tap, tap, tap, tap tap. The sound repeated itself over, and over, and over. Driving her insane. She was close to crying, but she was too scared that the thing in the dark may hear it. Then it just stopped, as did her heart. She was laying like that for entire two minutes, listening to her surroundings. She decided to turn slowly to the side. As she was carefully tilting her head, she screamed, seeing white and blank face next to her. She could have sworn that it was smiling. She ran off the bed and out of the room, closing the doors behind her. She breathed slowly trying to calm herself down. She peeked trough the door, there was nothing inside. She heard knocking. She ran to the door, opening it.

"Twilight is everything okay?" She heard Rainbow Dash's voice.
