Molly comes to in a dimly lit room. She blinks the sleep out of her eyes, and looks around. She tries to move but feels cold iron around her hooves. She freaks as she looks and sees the shackles holding her to the wall.

"What is going on?!" she exclaims out loud.

She struggles to get free but it is no use, the shackles are tight around her hooves. She tries to use her magic but the shackles seem unaffected. She tries to calm herself down and think but stops when she hears scuffling coming from one of the corners of the room.

"Who's there?" she calls out, but receives no response.

Then she hears the all too familiar whisper again.

"I'm gonna get you...now I got you..."

She gasps as she can see the same shadow moving in the darkness of the room, just outside the reach of the single candle sitting on a table. She tries to focus her eyes on the figure but it remains in the shadows enough to have no outline. Then she sees two piercing blue eyes staring right at her from the shadow.

The shadow moves closer to her just staying out of the reach of the light. As it gets closer she can feel its presence. The lack of light has increased her other senses as she can hear another heart beat besides her's in the room. Then as quickly as the eyes appeared they disappear so to does the shadowy figure.

She can no longer feel any other presence in the room. Tears begin to well up in her eyes as she wonders if this is how it all ends for her. If this is the same fate that Luna and Twilight have suffered.

"I'm sorry Luna and Twilight, I have failed you, I wasn't strong enough" she says out loud as she cries.

She hears hoof steps outside the room and stops crying to listen. She can hear heavy breathing as well. Then it goes quiet. She looks over at the candle that is slowly getting smaller and about to go out.

"Whoever you are, or whatever you are, please...let me go...you don't have to do this...I'm sorry for what I have done. I wasn't always like this. I used to be pure and innocent, but something happened that changed me, just as this whole ordeal has changed me now. I promise to never molest ever again. Just please let me go"

The shadowy figure reappears in the corner.

"Please, let me go" she pleads with the shadow.

"Why?" the shadow whispered.

"Because, I'm a good pony now, you have scared me back onto the path of puri-"

"That sounds like a lie" the shadow whispers cutting off what she was saying.

"It's not a lie, I promise. I will never molest again, the mere thought of doing it fills me with fear from this ordeal" she pleads.

"No, you will suffer the same fate as your precious little sister and your favorite student" the shadow whispered as it disappeared into the darkness once again.

Alone again, she begins to contemplate everything she has ever done in her life that wronged another pony.

"I never knew my actions would lead me to this, if I had I would have stopped long ago" she says out loud to herself.

"This isn't fair, how can I make amends for my actions if I die here today. I can't die, I have to survive for Equestria. I have to make amends for all the wrongs I have committed. You hearing this?! Huh, shadow?! I'm not going to let you win, I am Princess Mol-...no, I am no longer her any more, I am Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria and I am going to defeat you evil being."

She watches as the candle in the room begins to flicker as it begins to die out.

"Who am I kidding, I can never be her again. I am who I am. Maybe this is the right course for my life to take. Maybe this shadow will make my death quick. All I know is that I am sorry for what I have done. It's been a tartarus of a ride, but now it has to end" she says as she closes her eyes thinking it will be for the last time.

"I'm gonna get you..."

She opens her eyes to face the shadow that has now reappeared staring at her with those piercing blue eyes.

"...now i got you...now...I'm...gonna...EAT YOU!"

"NNOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed as the light from the candle burns out and the room was consumed by total darkness with not a shred of light.
