Confusion

chapter 2, the difficult part

                        There was a meeting today at the library, Twilight had planned this before the party so all her friends knew about it. It was a mission. So far twilight (of course) rarity, pinkie pie, and applejack were there, they were just waiting for the two pegasi. "Where in tha' world are those two?" Applejack complained. "Well im sure one of them will be here." twilight said. Just then fluttershy opened the door and peered inside cautiously. "Well come on in silly!" pinkie jeered while bouncing on her tail. fluttershy trotted to a spot on the floor. "So...n-no rainbow dash?" fluttershy meekley asked. "Nope, but ah bet she slept-in and is still snoozin away!" "Applejack!" rarity scolded sounding like a mother catching her fillies hoof in a cookie jar. "you know how loyal she is! I bet she'll be-" BOOM! The door swung open and hit the wall. All of them jumped at the noise and were staring at the miserable exuse for rainbow dash. Dash slowly walked in with tears in her eyes and tear stains on her cheeks, she sat down and tried to wipe them away. Fluttershy knew exactly why dash looked like this and felt like the most guilty pony in the world. "Well." twilight said, still trying to get over what just happened. "rainbow dash?" Rarity asked scooting closer to rainbow. "grrrrr." rainbow growled like a wild animal. Rarity instantly scooted back next to applejack. "ahem...so our mission is simple, zecora is sick and needs us to gather some ingredients from the everfree forest, and its JUST on the outskirts so there shouldn't be any danger." Twilight added the last part so fluttershy wouldn't have a panic attack.

                         "Ok everypony only two more ingreadients to go!" Twilight yelled to her friends. "The next one we need is spriggin sap!" "Eww! found it!" rarity said angerly as she wiped it off her hooves. "Ok now we need- RAWRRAA! A giant manticore sprang out of the bushes and growled at the six ponies. "Fluttershy!" twilight yelled to her. Fluttershy nodded and hezitantley went twords the beast. "Oh you poor thing, is there-OOF! The manticore pinned her down with a paw and bit onto one of her sprawled out legs. "AAAAAHHHH!" Fluttershy screamed from the pain. Before the manticore could tear off the shy ponies leg rainbow dash slammed into it full-force sending the creature back. she flew up and knocked out one of the beasts teeth. it landed next to the still in-shock fluttershy. rainbow dash was wrestling with the manticore landing hard blows evry so often. She wasnt the only one fighting, the manticore landed big slashes whenever dash got tired. Rainbow was starting to slow down a lot, but she had an idea. she sped twords the knocked out tooth, grabbed it and sped back, jamming it into the beasts eye. It gave out a pained roar and fell back. Rainbow staggered twords the manticore and yanked out the tooth from its eye thinking it was dead, as soon as she was about to go check on fluttershy it sprang up and latched onto her wing, it then reared its head back and slammed it to the ground never releasing the cyan pony. He threw her to the side and stood up, but as soon as he did he fell back down dying. Rainbow dash had blurred vision and couldnt quite hear. waiting for death to come, she could hear her friends calling her and fluttershy's name.
