Before season 4

Twilights P.O.V

"The imposter, who was she?" Chrysalis isn't that powerful, she can't take my horn and wings away like she did. The fact that I'm exactly were I started last time proves it isn't Chrysalis It's not her, so who? It might be her, I am in the crystal caves under Canterlot again, but it took magic last time as well as Cadence's wings.

Twilight was right it wasn't Chrysalis it was something new, something horrible, something life threatening. It was a Mutata mortem and not just any Mutata mortem the queen, Clamores

Chapter 2: Forever Free of You

Fluttershy's P.O.V

I realized I was laying on some grass, Oh I dreamt the whole thing I thought to my self, maybe I can just drift off to sleep again. As I began to drift off Twilight's voice entered my thoughts. "Here's the last of you pathetic souls," Great it wasn't a dream, I was about to open my eyes when I heard a thud "you can get her after I leave, there is a barrier preventing anyone getting in or out, Rainbow Dash. Anyway she was actually tougher to get you guys out of Ponyville than any of you."

Rainbow Dash was here? "Did you really have to fling Rainbow Dash that hard?" It was Rarity! "The last time I heard, Changlings weren't in season" *zzztttttt-ssszzz*

"Who said I was a changling?"

"What do ya'll sayin' then?" Applejack said in a horse voice, but then fell asleep snoring.

"Do changlings gain the same eyes of the last person they tricked the next time they change? I'm a..."

"Oh guessing games, I love guessing games, Chang-o-matic, flipstoper, " *zzztttttt* Pinkie Pie

"That will teach you not to interrupt me when I'm speaking!" great everypony but Twilight was here and all of them were hurt in away.

I had to help them, she or it or what ever it was, kept hurting my friends. I popped up and shouted, "Who said we were done fighting?" I focused on how angry I was at the Grand Galloping Gala and now as kicked her blur as hard as I could.

"Go Fluttershy!" shouted Rainbow Dash who was the only one awake and looked like she had a broken wing, but in the milli-second glance that I took, the intruder threw orange magic at me, then all I saw was black, all black.

Rainbow's P.O.V

"You all will be in the Everfree Forest...... forever!" There was an orange cloud of smoke and it, the thing was gone.

"Fluttershy was the first one I ran over to shaking her saying, "Fluttershy! Fluttershy!" she didn't wake up She was my friend, I killed her I... I.... I, I did this to her. In a hurry I ran to Rarity, "Rarity, hurry wake up!"

"Yeah what is it?" it took her a moment to remember what just happened, but when she did she popped right up and with an agitated voice cried out, "Were is she?" her horn was ready to fire.

"Rarity, she's gone, but I need your help with Fluttershy!" luckily she loosened up and let her magic die down.

"Fluttershy? won't she just wake up like the rest of us did?"

"She already did!"

"Huh?" I'm confused, what do you mean?"

"It was all my fault, Rarity," I paused my own voice was becoming prickly, "I got her distracted and she got hit with the thing's magic at short range, she won't wake up and... and.. I think she's dead."

"Calm down," how could I, did I? I wasn't going to clam down, my heart began racing, wait, was Rarity's voice shaking? Let's check how she's doing, then, we'll panic or in your case calm down." In normal conditions I would say..... well I wouldn't say anything because, THIS IS NOT NORMAL CONDITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We began checking Fluttershy's vitals. When we were done Rarity spoke up "She's, fine"

"Can you levitate her and place her some where to make her feel more comfortable?"

"Of course," Rarity said.

"Thanks, now we need to wake the others."

"Yes I guess we do."

"Let's spit up," I had dashed of before she could even say no. I guess I was, no, I know I am rattled up.

Rarity's P.O.V

"Well, that's just perfect." I said thinking out loud. Well she did think that she killed Fluttershy but, well it does make sense. I walked over to Applejack trying to wake her up, I felt guilty though, she had been the first one here and stayed up all night trying to break the barrier that held us, but Pinkie Pie's mane was flat. "Applejack, Applejack, you in there Applejack?"

"Sugarcube?" she looked at me in fear in and in a split second she had pinned me down to the ground. "What did I tell you I was gonna wear to the Grand Galloping Gala?"

"I think your exact words were 'I'll think I'll just spruce up my work duds' is that what you said? Is that what you want to hear?"

Applejack had gotten off me and said, "Sorry sugarcube, it's just that ever since that thing transfigured into you, I.. I... well I guess I'm a bit overprotective of everypony when I'm around you." She looked around at her surroundings, "Lets wake up Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie's mane is flat."

"Yeah, about that," how am I going to break it to her? "Well, we've already, me and Rainbow Dash that is."

"Can you run that by me one more time?"

I wasn't actually sure how to tell her so I put it off, "how about fter we get Pinkie Pie to listen and gets a poufy mane again?"

"Sure," looking around once more she asked, "where's Rainbow Dash anyways?"

"Cooling off probably,"

"lazy bum that's what she is."

"No! That has nothing to do with that!" she was giving me a quizzing look, "Look I think you'll understand why she is after I explain Fluttershy's thing."

"Oh, Okay then," I felt horrible yelling at Applejack but how else was I suppose to react?

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

The Evergreen forest was beautiful when I didn't have to worry about getting lost, Apple had already told us that you would always end up back where we had gotten teleported to. We all had set up camp so we would always find are way back. I suggested that maybe we could fly our way over everypony thought it was a good idea, that was till Rarity reminded us that my left wing was broken. She has been very helpful lately but still a pain.

Pinkie Pie hadn't felt a doosey coming on so we considered it safe. The only two problems we have at the moment are no food and Mrs. Ponyshifter. I was getting bored walking plainly straight so I took the next move I could to the right. I found myself in a wide open clearing and skidded to a stop, For a second I thought that I saw some thing move, It's just your imagination Rainbow, just your imagination. A soft a breeze blew threw my mane, it was a steady continuous breeze.

I began to sing a song that my mother sung to me when I was younger, Speed, speed, something that I know you love. It might be hard to lay still but soon enough you'll fly through the sky. Faster, faster, faster than you ever have, faster, faster, farther than you ever have. With life and hope as you dream. I will watch over you.

I was beginning to choke on the last few words, and I couldn't continue. The picture of my mother dying right before my eyes during the second verse popped into my head. Was it my fault? I thought, to myself, Was it? the same way that Fluttershy's incident was mine? She had always had the dream to stand up and become a famous Storkbolt since the Wonderbolts weren't yet famous. She always thought that men always looked down upon women. I tried my hardest to be a tomboy so I wouldn't be looked down upon when I finished my mother's dream.

Shaking my head I ran towards the two palm trees to take a snooze but found myself back at camp three quarters away there.

Applejacks P.O.V

"Wow, just wow, Fluttershy did that?" I honestly couldn't believe it, Fluttershy the most kindest pony in the world who couldn't kick a single vase over when she was extremely angry, kicked the thing?

"I know right," Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down continuously, she is so amazing." Turning towards Rarity she asked what happened next? Did she give he a Ka-pow oh, oh what about a punch, a Ky-Chi move, or a, a, a......."

"No Pinkie," Rarity looked down, "She glanced at Rainbow, and it took her out with a short range blast of magic." Great.

"Oh I... I..... I didn't know I'm sorry" It was bit hard to bite onto but it sorta made sense, Fluttershy had taken on a dragon before when it threatened all of us.

"Sorry bout what?" I jumped bit before I turned 'round to see that it was Rainbow Dash.

"Oh, nothing, sugarcube, come on over here and sit down while we wait for Fluttershy to wake up." She came over towards us without hesitation, but winced at Fluttershy's name. "It's okay we already know." Why did I say that? the thought had popped into my mind the moment after I said it and I was filled with guilt.

"Rarity!" Rainbow said as she began to charge.

"Hold your horse's Nellie!" I said stepping in between the two. "Yall need to calm down."

"What? was I not suppose to tell them?" Rarity asked judgingly.

"No you weren't!" Rainbow Dash's eye color was turning into what looked like dancing flames.

"Why Rainbow? Did you think that we were stupid? That we wouldn't find out that something that happened to her?" she was tearing up I tried to calm down "Beside it wasn't even your fault!" so much for calming down.

"Yes it was, the same way it was with my mom!" tears were flowing down her eyes, "I should of....." her voice trailed off as Fluttershy began to stir.

Chapter 3: The Truth

Rainbow Dashes P.O.V

"Fluttershy? You up?" I was both happy that she was alive but worried. What if she hates me for what I did? What if she doesn't wanna be friends any more? I quickly shook the thought out of my head fiercely.

She at first only answered in a groan but eventually spoke intelligently "Twilight?"

"No,"

Fluttershy jumped up within a second took a glance and fell to the floor, "I.... I... What happened?" She was looking up at me in huge eyes.

"Well what do you remember?" I asked hoping I wouldn't have to tell her anything.

"Everything, what I meant was before that." her voice had come down to a whisper.

"Well, I'm going to get some firewood" Rarity I suppose was upset that nopony asked her if she was okay, but asked everyone if they were.

Thankfully AJ spoke up and as she did we all circled around a pile of ashes. "Well, I was selling apples at the marketplace when I had Rarity tell me that the barn burning I began to run as fast as I could but Rarity said that she wanted to help by teleporting us there. I said sure but I thought that it was more of a Twilight thing but it wasn't even Rarity. It was the thing you've already encountered."

"May I ask who was next?" but after that she looked as if she was about to kick herself. "If you don't mind that is," Same old Fluttershy.

"That would be me," Rarity said appearing with a pile of wood in her grasp of magic.

"How did you do that?" she paused "appear out of thin air that is."

"Oh, I guess I forgot to tell ya that there is a magical force field around the place that makes us always end up here."

"So we set up camp here" I said finishing Applejack's sentence.

"I'm gonna lay down if that's okay with ya'll" Apple Jack continued.

"Sure you need some sleep just don't sleep all day, I want to get some sleep tonight." It wasn't hard to tune out Apple Jacks loud snoring, but I could still hear the others.

"How come Apple Jack is so tired?"

"The force field that she found, she spent all night last night trying to break it." Rarity answered in a motherly tone.

"Oh,"

"I know it must be horrible on her completion," I could tell she was trying to get Fluttershy to feel better by acting normal but she wasn't acting at all normal. She was starting a fire, there were some twigs in her mane and had a smug of dirt on her right back leg. "Anyway," she said beginning her story. "I was in my boutique designing a hat for a unicorn that was new to Ponyville, she said that she liked it so much she wanted me to give her advice on her closet so I complied. She said that she would teleport us there so I willingly went there with her or should I say here. I don't know how but I some how fell asleep during the teleportation which is weird since I feel a zap whenever Twilight teleports us somewhere."

"Don't chya mean an electrical discharge?" Great now I'm the egghead I thought to myself.

I was lucky cause nopony noticed except Fluttershy who spoke up "Oh," she looked down at her hooves, "Do you know what she meant by, when she said that I was the hardest?"

This statement scared me, what did it mean? "I don't know." But how did she not fall asleep instantly? I mean everypony else did.

"Why darling, I thought you noticed that something was off when I didn't show up for our daily spa night? That was how you were able to... well you know." She paused when she saw Fluttershy's facial expression, "I told her that she wouldn't be able to hide us because you would think we were gone!"

"But you were there and you offered to take me home."

Finally understanding Fluttershy's expression there was silence. Hey, I got sick of it so I spoke up, "I think I was next, right?"

I looked over at Rarity as she shook her head. "No but when she came with you knocked out I had shouted out our spa time."

"Yeah, well before that, 'Fluttershy'" I said using air quotes on Fluttershy's name, "told me that she had gotten over her fear of heights and wanted to race. I should have known it wasn't her but I couldn't refuse the challenge. Stupid, stupid me. What should have given it away was the fact that she was able to keep up with me. Even during the sonic rainboom! Well I didn't finish the sonic rainboom because I woke up to see Apple Jack and Rarity hanging over me, but the last thing I remember was the middle of it."

"So how long has everypony been here? If you don't mind that is." Fluttershy asked, but I didn't even know that answer.

"Apple Jack has been here two whole days staying up the past every night trying to break this field. I was here since yesterday helping her but fell asleep in the progress, Rainbow Dash was present since this afternoon and.."

"ME! for twelve whole hours!" Pinkie Pie jumped in, "I was told it was your family reunion party today so I flashed over there with Twilight but I woke up here, sorry that I didn't make it to your party."

"There wasn't one but it's okay." I don't know if it was just me or if Fluttershy winced at the word family, but I put that to the side of my mind. It was time to plan our escape!

Chapter 4: Pained Pasts

Rarity's P.O.V

Apple Jack's Snoring was deafening so I just trotted straight into the woods to find a more peaceful spot. As I began galloping through the woods I slowed down to a simple trot after noticing my surroundings. There were trees' dark limbs lurking over silky purple flowers and light green clover everywhere. Using my magic I began to pluck the flowers and using my magic.

The flowers themselves began to glow as the starlight hit them. I brought them to a wide open clearing to investigate, there were to palms more to the left than straight but hey, what the hay. As I reached the highest point of the hill I began taking each petal off one by one. As I did so, I began to think of what got me started in fashion. My first friend, on a wintry night.

In Pre-school, her and I had just met the night before Nightmare Night, she told me her name was Blur Drop. I asked her what she was wearing as a costume the following night curious, due to her black coat and a cutie mark of a drop of Kool-Aid. She asked what for in my head I kept thinking what do you mean for what? I luckily didn't "For nightmare night silly" is what I said instead.

"Nothing, my folks don't celebrate it, I don't think they've even heard of it"

I was baffled I thought everypony knew about it, "Would you like me to go trick or treating tomorrow night with me?"

"But you said we were suppose to wear costumes," I can clearly remember her ruby red eyes as she brought her head up from its hung position. "I won't fit in, I never do."

"I'm sure I'll think of something, were do you live?" all she had done was look down at her shuffling hooves. I stood there frozen in both awe and sadness. "Oh." I was half way turned around when I thought of something brilliant, "I''VE GOT IT!!" I winced seeing her scared face. "Sorry, but I think I can help solve the housing and costume problem."

"Really?!" a huge smile spread across her face "How? What? Where? When?"

"There is a trashed boutique that is all boarded up but I know a way to get in. There is a queen sized bed upstairs and a bathroom as well as a kitchen but, down stairs a bunch of fabric and materials."

I kept going on and on about all this neat stuff till she interrupted me, "When can we go there?"

"Right now of course."

"Okay," her voice was almost as quite as Fluttershy's is. It was a long time till either one of us spoke. "Thank you," I looked at her in the most puzzled look I ever had. No one ever had thought me as helpful, only an annoying, stuck up and picky brat. "for everything, for giving me a chance, a home and a friend."

"Anytime, Blur."

It took us a while to get back there and it was quiet most of the way. When we got there we snuck through two boards and she headed upstairs. I on the other hoof stayed downstairs and began working on a costume. I took a golden hoop and both blue and white velvet and sat down to work. I almost drifted asleep but Blur came down and said, "Thank you so much,"

"You've already said that," I began counting as though there was an invisible number line hanging in the air. I loked at her in a playful grin, "Yes, a million and one times."

"Hay!" she said giving me a playful punch.

"What?"

"So what is it?" she said motioning my first work.

"Cleopatra, the Egyptian princess, so what do you think?"

"I think it is cool, just two questions," her voice trembled as she spoke, "Who is Cleopatra?"

"I just said you silly filly, she's a famous Egyptian Princess!" I said with a playful laugh taking consideration towards her fright.

"Second, what are you wearing?" she looked down at her hooves, "That is if you don't mind me asking." She was just as shy as Fluttershy, I thought bringing myself back to the present. Immediately I thought of Fluttershy's limp body after Rainbow had woken me. Tears came searing through my eyes. I hurt Blood Drop! Blur's real name was Blood Drop, and now it is all my fault for not being there for Fluttershy the same way it was with Blood Drop.

"Blood, BLOOD, BLOOD!!!!" I kept screaming as the scene of her leaving Ponyville replayed over and over again in my mind.

"I thought, I THOUGHT," she had kept me shouting "I thought" at me as she ran into the Everfree forest.

Apple Jack's P.O.V

I woke up to the crackling of the fire, the woods were silent and the skies were clear so the stars shone even though they were covered in the trees. Looking around I noticed that Rarity was missing, I figured that she went looking for inspiration, but then the screams started.

"What the hay?" I said thinking out loud. I ran into the forest following the screams. They were slowly turning into words, a repeating word, blood. I began to run through the forest, "Rarity, Rarity!" Her screams were getting louder, her cries of blood becoming louder. I ran even faster noticing the plucked plants. No sooner than later did I find Rarity, but she seemed as though she was in a trance, "Hey Rarity," I nudged her but it only made the screaming louden. I covered my ears with my hooves, and "screamed at the top of my lungs, "Rarity, Snap out of it!"

"Apple?"

Duh it's me is, what I wanted to say but that wasn't what she needed right now. At the moment everypony needs each other. "Yeah sugarcube', it's me."

"Dear did I wake you?" I looked at her puzzled she had tear streaks down her cheeks, she had been screaming and she's asking that? Man she can really hide a secret, "Did you hear that?" She let down her perfect attitude act as she asked it.

"Kinda hard not to when ya' are screamin' it over and over."

"I'm sorry, it's just that..." Her voice trailed off and her head fell over a beautiful dress that I hadn't noticed. It looked like the ones my ma' used to wear. MOM "Ever since I.. When... When she... When Blood...." Rarity said bringing me back to the real world.

"Who's Blood?" I asked my voice carried by the wind.

"Somepony that I met a long time ago. She was a unicorn that had a dark purple coat that seemed black and olive green hair."

"I thought you hated green hair?"

"I do," she sounded as if she was gonna break in tears "It's because of her that I hate green hair, it reminds me of her"

"Oh," I had no idea what to say, "why don't we get some shut eye?"

"I'll sleep here, there was a pony snoring back at camp."

I looked straight in to her eyes, "It was me wasn't it?" She nodded her head but slowly, like Fluttershy. "What if I stay here till you go to sleep? Sound good?" she again nodded her head, but violently. I watched her prance off into the woods and didn't take my eyes off her, she was worrying me. Rarity never screams, she always has had self control. I mean she fooled the diamond dogs, she was disgusted in our fashion choice and didn't complain, yell or anythin' she just stayed calm.

I looked down at the dress, looking closer I realized that the threading was green, olive green and the fabric was dark purple, almost black. Looking a little closer the fabric were petals, like my ma's cutie mark. In fact the whole dress made me thin of ma'. A brave, elegant pony who loves drawing and would do anything for a friend in need. She had a lavender coat, a lime green mane, lavender eyes, and a leaf with two petals for a Cutie Mark.

I was young when she past away, I was there I saw what happened but I don't remember. All I do recall is the limbs of a tree falling, and screams. "I better get to shut eye" I said once again thinking out loud, tryin' to forget.

(Dream)

I was on the farm, How on Equestria did I get here? My attention drifted off to a young orange filly, near Applebloom's age, with super blonde hair and three freckles on each cheek. "Well who are you?"

A familiar voice rang out, a voice of a stallion other than Big Mac "Apple Jack, Apple Honey!" Wha? "Ready or not here I come!" I stood there frozen thinking that the voice belonged to the thing.

The owner of the voice popped out of the tree's after a few moments with out the young filly noticing. He was tall and sturdy like Big Mac, but instead of a dark red hue coat, it was orange and had a dark yellow mane. His face gave his identity away without needing to glance at his cutie mark of a apple core. "Dad?" It was Pa.

"Boo!"

"Pa! You scare me!" It was my past! The young filly was me!

"'Course he didn't," said another earth pony entering from above. "You can't be scared AJ"

"MA?" It was her! It was the time! I remember! Trees! Screams! Ma! Pa! "MA! PA! get out of the way!" they couldn't hear me. They were to busy muzzling...... ME to notice the tree was starting to sway ever so slightly. "Move!" I shouted tears shredding down my cheeks, and burning my lips. I backed up and prepared to run at them, make them aware.

I dug my front right hoof into the dirt, huffed and sprinted. Ducking my head ever so slightly, like Mac had taught me, ready for impact I slid right through Pa.

Ma looked up seeing the tree beginning to rotate in a circler formation, "APPLE LIGHT! APPLE JACK!" she screamed. She climbed up the tree that was falling, considering it was the only safe place since she didn't know were it was going to fall carrying me with her, "APPLE LIGHT!" Pa's hoof was stuck in a rock she jumped down from the tree to help but couldn't.

"PA!" I began screaming my head off, "MA!". Second by second the moment drew closer and I knew it, I wanted so much to close my eyes but I couldn't.

"Apple Honey!" My father was panting, "MOVE!!" Ma and Pa kept on yelling over my crying screams of both the past me, but unknowingly over the present me as well. There was a crash, and at that dreaded sound was the crunch of bones.

I started to run towards the barn following my past self. "HELP! HELP! ANYPONY!" The voices of the past events echoed in my head. I screamed in pain, screams that woke me up.

(End of Dream)

I was panting even after realizing it was a dream, my Pa was still in a coma and my Ma dead. There was a wrestling of leaves, I shot straight up prepared for anything, or so I thought.

"Rarity?" a Black unicorn emerged from the thorny bushes. Or seemed black. There was a sudden silence between us. "Your not Rarity."

"No I'm not," at the top of her head though was a pile of wavy olive green hair. "Your name doesn't happen to be Blood Drop does it?"

Her attention was drawn to the dress Rarity had made, "She was here though wasn't she?" she said not even acknowledging my question. I answered with a nod of my head.

"Apple Jack?" A new voice was brought into this conversation, "Blood!" Rarity's eyes were filling with tears

Me and Blood Drop turned our heads simultaneously, "Rarity?" Blood asked her eyes to filling with tears, but not normal tears. Tears of blood. Rarity didn't mind, she ran to embrace her old friend, the tears began to stain Rarity's white coat.

"I'm so sorry, Blood, I should have....."

Blood interrupted her which she would have been mad if anypony else, "You don't have to be,"

Pinkie Pie's P.O.V

I woke up, My pinkie pie sense was tingling me to and I think I know why, Apple Jack and Rarity were gone. "Fluttershy, Rainbow," My mind was running forty gallops per second, Rainbow was up in a second but Fluttershy took more encouraging. They both noticed our missing friends the moment they had woken up.

Fluttershy's P.O.V

I groaned. My eyes began to flutter open, at first every thing was just a blur, the past, my eyesight and my feelings. The very first thing I noticed was the fct that Apple Jack and Rarity were gone. I tried to shoot up like Rainbow did but instead yelped in pain.

"Fluttershy!" Rainbow rushed over to me "Are you okay?" I didn't know why she was being so..... so... I don't know. So I simply gave her a nod of the head. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" I was entirely confused, "What do you mean sorry?"

"For.... well...."

"Rarity?! Apple Jack?!" Pinkie Pie said shouting, she was the only one actually paying attention. "We go straight."

"Huh?" me and Rainbow asked at the same time. "How do you know?" Rainbow Dash asked challenging.

"Pinkie Pie sense! Duh!" Rainbow just nodded in an unbelieving way but Pinkie Pie didn't notice. She had taken off and we had to follow her, "Left"

We came to a big clearing, Rarity was being hurt, she bleeding. A black pony, with olive green hair was doing this and Apple Jack just stood there, just watching, "Get off of her!" The pony turned just in time to see Rainbow charging at her.

"Rainbow! Stop!" Apple Jack yelled.

"But, this pony is evil, she is KILLING Rarity!" Rainbow's voice pierced the air as my attention drew over to a glowing dress.

"No she is not!" Rarity said in a voice that was forceful enough to shake the world. It might have just been me though.

"Rarity?" I asked fearfully.

"Yes, and this is somepony I know." she said motioning to the other pony, "This is Blur Drop"

"Rarity," Blur Drop said turning her head "They are your friends, tell them the truth." she paused. "Please."

"Are you sure? The last time..." Her voice trailed off and eyes began dripping with tears. "Last time...."

"Yes," she replied in answer as she took a step forward.

Blood Drop's P.O.V

The pale yellow pegasus winced as I stepped towards her so I stopped myself. Scared out of my wits "Please don't be scared of me," Everypony is scared of me, I thought. I waited for Rarity to say my real name but she never did. "My name is Blood Drop." I prepared my self to be hit with harsh words but nothing. Just silence.

"The truth hurts." I looked around to see who said that but I had my attention drawn towards our surroundings.

"Lets get out of here," my heart was pounding so hard I was afraid the others would hear it.

"Why? I like the area it gives off a peaceful feeling." I my head shot straight at the pale yellow pony who said that stupid statement. Unfortunately it was the pink one that caught my eye, she was already being entranced.

"Oh no..." I raced towards her.

"What?" Rarity asked finally speaking.

"How many of you have been here?"

"Me and Rarity only why?" The orange earth pony said and was luckily the only one that spoke up. Oh no.

"Just great." I said rolling my eyes.

"I might of...." The blue pegasus that had charged at me drew out. "well... stumbled onto this place."

"Rainbow Dash!!" everypony shouted except for the pink one and me of course.

"We need to get out of here NOW!"

Rarity just nodded trusting my judgment, but the others needed more knowledge specifically Rainbow Dash. "And WHY should we listen to you!" the sharpness of her voice pierced me. It was just like school, bullies, names and hurt.

My memories were getting to me now, "Because, I said so! I live here! I know this place by heart! And I am not a monster!" I was on my rage path again, conscience but not under control. One... out Two... out Three...out. I did the breathing exercise I taught myself awhile back with my eyes closed just because I found it easier.

As I opened them I noticed Rainbow Dash had backed off was scared and the other pegasus was entranced just as fully as the pink one.

Pinkie Pie's P.O.V

I waited for Rarity to say her real name but she never did. "My name is Blood Drop." The name rang in my ears. Blood Drop, the same thing was on the letter that Pops sent with the news. I still have the letter memorized.

Dear Pinkamina Diane Pie,

You are no longer welcomed on the rock farm. You are no longer our daughter. We are no longer your parents. It is your fault Blinky and Inky Died! The equestriaquake made a rockslide occur. The rockslide killed them! YOU could have saved them, and now you are dead to us as well.

So long,

Mr. and Mrs. Pie

My eyelids felt heavy I finally closed them but I felt the tears coming down remembering the past of my siblings, my mind slowing down.

Fluttershy's P.O.V

Her voice echoed "Because, I said so! I live here! I know this place by heart! And I am not a monster!" She was on a rage path, conscience but not under control. Monster, black, night, I still had nightmares of that night. Snow had been glistening across the sky, the wind had been howling, but I wasn't scared. I had laughed at the dangerous back then, now though, now is different.

Two stallions had broken down the door that night, one dark red the other fiery orange. They came charging through the house, the very light in the room seemed to dim down. They threw us into the corner and threatened us. Mother screamed for help but it came to late.

Father had yelped when the dark red one pinned him to the ground slicing his wings while the other rummaged through all of our belongings. The sides of my father were bleeding uncontrollably but that wasn't enough for the evil that had entered the house. Cries that had exited my father's mouth that night have torchered me.

Father glanced at m in such a hurt way like Blood Drop had. This heartless killer followed his gaze, "I'm gonna kill you. Kill you slowly in front of your girl, Glow." My mother tightly put her front hooves over my eyes and used the leg part around my ears. "Dragon! Separate them!"

The orange one pulled my mother away from me, and with solemn eyes said, "Sorry" He spoke in a whisper just loud enough for me and only me to hear.

"Watch kid, it'll be the last time you'll see your father in a long time." His eyes were full of glee when he turned to father just to say, "Or maybe not so long."

"You leave my Flutter's alone!"

"Flutter is it?" he said turning to me with a sneer on his face.

I stood up proudly and defensively "My name if Fluttercited!" (Flutter-excited) "I'm not scared of you!"

He just looked at me and used one of his hooves to knock me over. "We'll see" Turning to my father who was still struggling to break free. He began to slowly slit my fathers cheeks upward with a carving knife from mother's pampered pony (Pampered Chef) knives. Bringing the knife up to his mane and cut the maroon locks of hair off. Right after finishing what he wanted to with father's hair he began slashing my father's under stomache. It was only as deep as a paper cuts but still caused both blood and pain.

"Leave him alone!" I ran to charge but the orange one blocked my path with his front left leg. HE had looked at me when he did this but I didn't even bother to look. Father's blood was flowing towards my hooves, I still have traces of it in them. I looked at my mother, she, was preparing to charge. Mother had never looked so filled with hatred, my heart was filling with fear. I will not show it.

She charged, but it did no good. She had scared this pony that his own reflexes took over and killed my mother with one blow. "Aw..." I hoped that he would just leave due to the murder he just committed, boy was I wrong, "I wanted to play with her." My fear started building up but I did not show it, I was going to be a Storkbolt and Storkbolts don't get scared.

"Father I want to leave!" Wait father? Could it be that this orange stallion was here against his will?

"Not yet Dragon! We got two more." My father looked at mother and leaped up taking a stand against him. Father's eyes were filled with flames, he though like mother was killed due to the reflexes of this evil being. "Now on to you."

"Father, please no don't!" I looked up at the colt that was defending me, "She's just a filly though!"

"Yes and fillies are snitches!" the murderer said in a calm voice "So if you don't wanna go to prison, be my guest."

I thought for sure I was doomed.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

I was scared after Blood Drop said this, but, what could be so bad about this one location. "We need to get out of here NOW!" she said once again. I began to move when I noticed that her eyes weren't locked onto me like I was expecting. Nor was she directing the statement towards me, Rarity or Apple Jack, it was being directed to Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. "Great" she mumbled under her breath.

"What's wrong?" I said finally convinced she wasn't dangerous.

"Them," she said pointing to the ones her eyes were locked onto.

"What's wrong with 'em?" Apple Jack said in full interest but in fear as well.

"Let me guess," Bloods voice was flat and serious, like Twilight's was the day she came to Ponyville. "You all experienced your worst and most feared memories right?" Everypony that had been here nodded slowly, one after the other. "They are going through it right now."

"So?" I was confused, "they aren't dangerous right, they're just memories" but Blood's head whipped my way.

"So? SO!" Okay probably bad thing. "This is incredibly bad. They are in a trance that could kill them!"

Apple Jack spoke up, "Can't we move them?"

"We can't move them or it will increase their chances of death! The only way is to disturb them right before it happens! Which may I add is hard to tell."

Oh come on! How come everypony I've been hangin' with almost dies or in this case dies?

Chapter 5: Messed Up

Twilight's P.O.V

I woke up hoping to find myself in the comforts of Ponyville's library, unfortunately it wasn't quite so. I looked straight towards the light were Cadence and I had used to escape last time. Our hoofprints were still here, all I had to do was follow them.

Apple Jack's P.O.V

"What's wrong with 'em?" I said in full interest but in fear as well.

"Let me guess," Bloods voice was flat and serious, like Twilight's was the day she came to Ponyville. "You all experienced your worst and most feared memories right?" Everypony that had been here nodded slowly, one after the other. "They are going through it right now."

Rainbow's voice rang out being her typical self, "So?" Being her friend all this time though I could tell Rainbow was confused. I, myself wasn't but Rainbow continued "they aren't dangerous right, they're just memories" but Blood's head whipped Rainbow's way.

"So? SO!" Okay probably bad thing. "This is incredibly bad. They are in a trance that could kill them!"

I spoke up but in doubt, "Can't we move them?"

"We can't move them or it will increase their chances of death! The only way is to disturb them right before it happens! Which may I add is hard to tell."

"Is there a way?" Rarity asked coming to the sense that by gaining a long lost friend she may lose her friends, her best friends. Well I think we are best friends, Rarity broke me out of my thoughts again, "If we aren't dead then doesn't that mean they've got a good chance?"

"No." Blood said flatly. "You were either lucky or strong. I'm supposing that you were lucky Rarity, While Rainbow Dash and... you," she said motioning to me were strong enough to make it through on your own."

"Apple Jack," said with worry and a hint of pride till I remembered. "and I don't think I went through it myself, alone, in fact you saved me I believe."

Blood slipped a small smile revealing a more kind side to her name. "I would like to take all the credit but you deserve some too. You lasted for a long time on your own, around three hours I think."

"How would you know?" I asked gaining suspicion.

"I heard Rarity's screams stop around three hours before I gained the confidence to go and see if she was okay."

"Oh," I said confused of my own feelings"

"PINKIE PIE!!!!" Rainbow's voice rang out. We all turned our heads towards her the to Pinkie. Her mane was flat and her coat dulled. There were tears running down her cheeks, she kept on muttering something about rocks and slides. Rainbow flew straight to Pinkie Pie and pushed her over. "Pinkie Party Time!!!!"

Immediately she shot up in to the air and shouted "PARTY!!!" Her mane returned to it's usual volume and coat brightened. "Where? Where is the party?" she asked Her excitement getting the better of her, as usual. I sighed, waited her to remember and held my ground, "Oh," she paused coming to her senses. In her own way. "Oh"

I looked to Fluttershy who was still holding strong. "Is she gonna be okay?" I asked. My voice being directed to Blood again though I couldn't take my eyes off Fluttershy. If I had been stronger if I had been stronger nopony would be here now. Well maybe Blood and Rarity but everypony was here because of me I know that Rainbow Dash would think it was her fault but in truth it would be mine and only mine.

"I don't know."

Sorry it's short

Chapter 1: Disapeared

Fluttershy's POV

I was just helping Angel get his food when Twilight burst through the door and shouted "Rainbow Dash needed our help your the only one who could,

"Why?" I asked.

"Why do you need to know, just come on, please, she might die! Doesn't that matter to you?"

"Why me? You have wing now Twilight you can do it your self can't you? You do have wings, and you know I'm afraid of heights!"

"It's the animals, they're attacking her in the Evergreen forest, come on she's dying, please." Her cheeks were becoming over run by tears, I couldn't say now to that why was I wasting my time Rainbow Dash could be dead now and it would be all my fault. Tears were slipping down my cheeks faster than ever I hung my head trying to hide them I turned around, as I did Twilight asked me "Where are you going, I'm going to teleport you there"

"I'm getting supplies! We'll need them if we're going to help!" I snapped, I know I'm suppose to be the element of kindness but how can I? I mean, I how else could have I reacted knowing that my being selfish might have cost somepony's life? I went through twenty-three drawers trying to find a first aid kit sleeping powder and my glasses which I never wear, except around Princess Celestia, even wearing them around my friends doesn't feel comfortable, so they don't even know about it but just to make sure that Twilight didn't find out, I put them in a bag with outs in it, for safe keeping.

"Okay I said in relief, I'm ready." I said looking up in to her eyes but they weren't her normal blurry purple, no they were a reddish pink. As her teleportation spell I began to try yelling in fear, "you aren't Twilight, you're an imposter! You have Rainbow Dashes eyes. Help!" Help was the only one that came out in soft yell, but Angel had jumped in right before we were in the Evergreen forest.
