Can Princess Molly Be Stopped?
Chapter 4: What horrors await?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMolly wakes up a few hours later, realizing that it must be night time by now. She wonders if Luna was able to raise the Moon or if something has happened to her as well. She glances over towards the door and realizes everything is back where it originally was before she barricaded the door. She leaps out of bed in pure terror as she tries to comprehend the situation. She remained frozen in fear listening for the whispers or hoof steps, but hears nothing. She walks over to the door and begins to open it when she hears the whisper again, this time coming from her room.
"I'm gonna get you..."
She freezes in place and slowly turns her head and looks over in the back corner of her room where the whisper came from and saw it. The shadow she had seen before in the hallway after Twilight was taken was now in her room. The shadow remained motionless then it started to pulsate. Fear was making her heart beat so fast she though it would beat right out of her chest. Her mind was racing trying to comprehend what she was seeing trying to put a figure to it but failed.
"I'm gonna get you..." she hears whispered, this time coming from the shadow.
"Wh-wh-who a-are y-you?" she asks with crippling fright taking over her body.
"I'm gonna get you..." the shadow utters, slightly louder now.
"I-I'm not afraid of you. You hear me? I'm not afr-"
The shadow moves toward her and she screams in terror and runs out of her room. She looks behind her as she is running and sees nothing following her and stops. She feels as if her heart is about to give out. Never in her life has she been so terrified of something. She makes her way to the throne room, constantly looking behind her and listening for that shadow. The storm outside is raging even stronger even though it should have been letting up by now according to the pegasi weather reports. The windows had reappeared as well while she was asleep, so now lightning was flashing in and only intensifying her fear as she would see shadows form from it.
She gets to the throne room completely exhausted from fear and terror and sits in her throne.
"Okay. You win. I'm sorry for everything I have done in my life. I am sorry for treating people, who trust me, like objects made for my personal pleasure. I am sorry I was never the big sister Luna wanted and needed. And I am sorry for letting my mother down and not being the good pony she wanted me to be", she proclaims with tears running down her face.
The shadow appears in the doorway of the throne room and begins to move toward her. She notices it and does not respond. She just watches at it moves toward her, getting closer and closer. Then as quickly as it appeared, it disappears. She looks around and listens. Nothing.
"Is it over?", she asks herself.
Then she hears it again, this time right behind her.
"I'm gonna get you..."
"Why? Why are you doing this, what...what do I have to do to stop this madness?" she asks out loud.
She slowly looks behind her and nothing is there. She sighs, closes her eyes and turns her head forward.
"I'm gonna get you..." she hears again.
As soon as she opens her eyes she sees a flash, then pitch blackness. She tries to scream but she passes out. But before she lost all conscience she heard the whisper again, this time, it said more.
"I'm gonna get you...now I got you..."
