Empty. The room was empty with no sign of Twilight anywhere.

"Maybe she was able to teleport out somewhere safe" she thinks to herself as she slowly backs out of the dark room.

She looks down the hallway and can see a small shadow moving across the floor. She gulps and slowly walks toward the shadow. By now the storm is raging outside and thunder is shaking the entire palace.

"Damn pegasi picking today of all days to have this storm" she exhales as she continues down the hallway.

The shadow disappears into the wall. Now Molly is completely over taken with fear and irrational thoughts take over. Her mind and heart are racing, trying to comprehend what is going on. Never in her life has she been this scared. Then she hears a very clear and evil whisper in her ear as if it was being said from somepony right next to her.

"I'm gonna get you..."

She screamed at the top of her lungs and flew down the hallway. She heads toward one of the windows, opens it and flies out only to be turned around and thrown back into the palace.

"WHAT IN TARTARUS?!" She yelled out as she slammed into the wall.

She lifted her head and looked at the window which had now disappeared. Her eyes widened with horror as she watched all the other windows begin to disappear as well. She got up and took off flying down the hallway trying to get to another window before it was gone, but they were disappearing faster than she could fly. She finally made it do the doorway that leads to the garden and she opens it. Only to find a brick wall on the other side.

"Why? Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?" she cried out with tears running down her face.

She walks down all the hallways watching as all the doors and windows in the palace disappear around her. She makes it to the rotunda and can see the main palace doors are open.

"Twilight must not have shut them when she arrived" she said to herself. "Maybe this is my way out?"

She walks up to the door and it slams shut in her face.

"EEeep" she yelped as she jumped back from the door.

"FIne! If I can't leave this way I'll just teleport out" she exclaims.

She charges her magic and teleports out. The rain is pouring down and she can't see anything in front of her. But she can hear the sloshing of hooves in the water coming closer to her. She looks around but can't see anything due to the rain. Then she hears the palace doors open up and as if some unseen force willed it, she is pulled back into the palace screaming at the top of her lungs.

Soaking wet, she lays there on the floor crying uncontrollably. She hears them again, the clopping of hooves on the floor getting closer and closer. They stop. She hears the whispering again as she sits up.

"What do you want from me?" she calls out crying.

"I'm gonna get you..." she hears whispered in her ear.

She quickly turns and nothing is there. Then she feels the soft touch of a hoof down her back. The feeling sends shivers down her spine. She springs up and bolts down the hallways screaming.

She ends up at her room again. This time she runs in, shuts the door and barricades the door with every piece of furniture in her room.

"This is madness!" she exclaims. "I need to compose myself, I can't let this get to me. I'm a god, we do not fear anything. We are immortal, nothing can kill me"

She lays down in her bed and stares at the door. The sound of thunder is even louder now as the storm is reaching its peak outside. She lets out a long yawn.

"No! I can't go to sleep now." she says to herself while slapping her face to wake up.

Soon her eye-lids begin to grow too heavy and the call of the dream world becomes to strong to resist and she falls asleep.
