The pain of loss...

Previous Chapter

Rainbow and Twilight skidded to a halt as they saw the drama unfolding in front of them. Twilight stared, Rainbow vomited onto the ground. Whatever it was was doing it's job. It was sharpening a tree branch with the middle digit while keeping an eye on a bound and gagged Zecora.

They dived into the cover of a nearby bush praying it didn't turn its head in their direction. When it finished the job of sharpening the branch, Zecora was untied and ungagged. Zecora began to cry then, shrieking for mercy hoping anyone would hear. Twilight was trying to resist the urge to use magic on this thing. It raised Zecora to it's head height, poised to thrust the branch through her throat. A ear bursting screech was heard followed by the crack and squishing of a branch going through bone and flesh. Still screaming, It did exactly what it had done to Fluttershy only minutes ago.

(for the more dirty minded of you, NOT SEX OKAY?!?)  Twilight just wouldn't stop crying. Zecora, at first treated as an outcast by all of them, had then become a close friend, and it had ended like this??? With Zecora impaled to a tree while Twilight was sobbing and just generally making a racket.

"Listen Twilight, when this is over, we can morn then but for now, we just have to get the hell out of here okay?" Twilight simply stepped away and nodded. And then they found out what had happened to Applejack.

They snuck past the grisly scene and went over to the fire on the other side of the clearing, Applejack was bound and gagged just like Zecora. After some more grappling with the rope, she came free. They embraced then before Applejack simply said two words- "Behind you..."
