Traped in 'The Game'

Dawns story

Now, usually, I am a sensitive, kind, loving pony. But, seeing our fate, while sweet and innocent Dawn trembled in fear, I realized if we're gonna make it out alive, she's gonna buck up and deal. Kicking and thrashing, I fought my way to the table and picked up the needle with my teeth, and struggled over to Dawn. Closing my eyes, I jabbed the needle to her neck and looked in her eyes. "I'm... so... sorry!" I cried, in between shoving away biters. She looked at me with infinite hurt, then blacked out. I punched and punched and kicked and hit and tried to ignore Dawn's pitiful mewling. After a few biters, I realized they had three soft spots- eyes, necks, and ears. I rythmically fought them off, and as I jumped on the last one, bleeding heavily and breathing heavilier, my coat now a sticky red, Dawn woke up and began to cry and cry. "Oh Holly!" She sobbed.

"What happened?" I asked. And she told me.

"oh Holly, its just too much for me!" dawn yelled "I never wanna live throught that nightmare again!"

"Dawn whats wrong? What happened in there?" I asked

"What do you think happened! MY WORST FEAR HOLLY!"

I looked at her dumbstruck

"My fear, its of the Puppetmaster!"

"Really? What happened?"

"I never told you this Holly, But the Puppetmaster is my daughter."

"wha-WHAT???"

I meet this pony, his name was Sombra."

" You mean, like King Sombra?!?!"

"yes..."

"Dawn how come you never told me about this!"

"WELL IF YOUHAVENT NOTICED I WAS TRAPPED HERE FOR MONTHS!" Dawn yelled

"sorry, anyways why would the Puppetmaster put you through this?" I asked

"For you information Holly, her name is Auttumn! Anyways, as I told you, Kng Sombra was her father, so naturally she inherited her, well, 'Evilness'. She had discovered she had powers beyond my control, and put everypony through this so called 'game'."

"She did this to everypony?"

"Yes. She started out with.. With.." Dawn had a painfully sad look on her face.

"Go on." I said

"I-I can't!" She yelled as she bursted into tears

"Dawn" I said in a soothing voice "it’s alright, if you don't want to say it, you don't.

"I have to tell you... It was Celestia."

My mouth dropped.

"Holy Celestia!" I cried, rather ironically. "But... she's still alive. Why didn't she spread the news about it?" Then the news hit me. "You had a filly with King Sombra?"

Dawn scrunched her nose up and looked away. "Not the point Holly. Not the point."

"Sorry. So anyways, is Autumn a unicorn? Earth pony? Pegasus? Why did she put you through this? This is insane. What kinda daughter would do that?" I got up and began to pace the room. Angrily, I shouted out to nothing. "Hey, Autumn! Good for nothing little brat! Your mom went through her fear, so LET US THROUGH!" In a rage, I stomped my hoof on the ground and whirled around. My anger quickly dissapated when I saw that Dawn was gone.

"Well, mother decided to spill the beans, didn't she?" I heard a cloying and angry voice. "Don't worry- she's taken care of now." Horrified, I looked around.

"What did you do with her?" I shouted.

"Oh, silly little Holly- she's taken care of. If there is one thing I don't care for, it's secret spillers. So, naturally, I had to let her... go." Let her go? What... did she...

"Why would you do that?" I said, albeit without my usual flair.

"Little Holly," How dare she? I'm older than her! "It's all in good fun. Advance to the next room, and, since you just lost someone, I'll give you a spoiler. No more biters- they're getting a little boring." I heard a click, and the door opened.

For a moment I just sat there just processing what just happened. Found Dawn. Went through fear landscape. Woke up. Remembered story of past. Cried. Puppetmaster went back online on the radio. Biters entered room. Dawn went through landscape. Dawn woke. Reveled she was Puppetmaster’s mother. Father was Sombra. Puppetmaster’s name was Autumn. Autumn did something to Dawn. Then I stopped thinking of what just happened. Dawn, what did she do to Dawn? All the sudden a voice appeared on the radio again.

“Hello?!?!?” Auttumn yelled “Are you going to enter the next room or do I have to kill you now?”

I grunted then walked into the room. Then I froze, shocked at what I’m looking at. There right in the middle of the plain white room with absoloutly no décor was Dawn. I would of yelled happily and called Dawns name, If she was fully intact. In the center of the room was indeed Dawn, but she was attached to a giant, umm let’s just say giant circle. As I took a closer look I could see that her limbs were cleanly chopped off, and nailed one inch away from there attachment point to the body. In the middle of the circle was her torso, or what was left. Her chest was torn open and all her inner organs were missing, well the ones you could see anyway. Her head was the most grusom part, her head, like her limbs was suspended one inch away from the attachment part on the torso. Her eyes were cut out of the sockets, and here ears and tongue were missing.
