The truth about my darkness

"Wooah."

The mane six had just arrived to the edge of their choise for their camping trip, Manestream forest.  The forest was like a jungle. Trees were over 100 meters, birds sang and monkeys talked to eachother. It was magical.

The six mares walked into the forest and was immidiently struck by the moist in the air. It was also warm. Very warm.

"Oh no! Im sweating! Ladys are not supposed to be sweating!"

"Well, Y'all better get used to it. It ain't going to cool down untill night if Ah'm right." Applejack said as an replay towards Rarity's complaining.

"Applejack is right, If my calculations are correct, We are about 500 Kilometers south from Ponyville. And this might not sound as a very long distance, but then you are forgetting that the atmosp-" Twilight got cut off bt yRainbow who shuffed her hoof in her mouth.

"Twilight, We get it." Rainbow said. She removed her hoof out of Twilights mouth and walked on. Or rather Flied on. As the six mares walked further into Manestream forest, They came accross a small stream. They all jumped over the miniture river of water, one by one. Pinkie decided to play a joke as Rainbow flied over it. She jumped, Grabbed Rainbows tail, and dragged her away from the air, and down into the stream.

"GAAH!" With one quick move, Pinkie swinged Rainbow down into the warm water below them.

"Pinkie! Why did you that for?" Rainbow asked the hysterically laughing mare who was rolling around at the side of the stream. Twilight chuckled lightly and smiled at the 'troublemakers'.

"Come on now, we can't stand here all day." Twilight said as she turned around and started walking again. Pinkie finally stopped laughing and helped Rainbow out of the stream. After shaking most of the water out of her fur, Rainbow flied on.

After another ten minutes of walking, they found a small open area in the middle of the forest. In the middle, there was a small tree stump of an old oak. At the edge of the opening, a small stream had cold water running trough it.

"This seems to be perfect for our camp." Twilight said with a smile covering her muzzle.

"Well then, what are we waitin' for? Let's pack up!" Applejack said with excitement. They had three tents, that meant one tent for two ponies. The pairs were; Rarity and Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie and then Twilight and Rainbow. As Twilight were helping Rainbow, she decided to ask Rainbow about what happened on the train.

"So... Rainbow, What really did you mean back at the train?" She asked. Twilight quickly regretted the decison of starting a conversation like that as she saw Rainbow's reaction. Dash stopped and looked into the ground. She sighed so painfully that Twilight got chills running down her spine.

"I... I-I don't wanna know." Rainbow muttered under her breath, but Twilight still heard her.

"Why?" She asked as calmly as possible. Rainbow looked up at Twilight and immidiently saw her eyes screaming affections and questioning.

"Y-You will find out... E-Eventually... But now... Is not the time Twi." Rainbow continued to fix the tent and Twilight decided to bring the subject up later when they were alone in the tent.

After setting up the tents, collecting wood and taking a quick dip in the lake that was nearby, It was starting to get dark. Fluttershy had already gone to bed and Rarity were considering it. Rainbow sittong on a log and where telling a ghost story about Colt the Ripper. A murdurer in the streets of Manehatten one hundered years ago.

"Just as she had made it around the corner... she saw a blade in a red aura.. and as she looked up from the blade she saw the face of... COLT THE RIPPER!"

Rarity fainted and Applejack hugged a rock who had been taken from the ground. Twilight fell backwards and Pinkie gasped as dramatically as she could.

"Colt the Ripper was not happy with his victim though, oh no. He died and his ghost is wandering the lands of Equestria... Looking for another kill."

Just as Rainbow finished her sentence, A large growl could be heard from the forest behind them. Four pair of yellow eyes stared at them.

"We have not been fed today..."
