The Galloping Dead

“What was that?” Asked Dash.

“We got to go! Now!” My god… They were everywhere… I haven’t seen so many at one! What was there to do!? I didn’t have the ammunition nor did anyone else!

“What!? Why!? What’s happening!?” A few moments later and everyone was in the living room.

“The Remnants… They’re everywhere! Look!” I pointed out the window and everyone gathered around. As they looked, looks of horror and terror were set on their faces.

“My god… What do we do!?” Panicked Pinkie Pie.

“We run! Kill only those who are in our way! Everyone, quickly assemble into groups of two! One of I’ll go alone. Quickly! Hurry!” Everyone was looking at me in awe. I didn’t know I had that much leadership. Even Heart was looking at me and not disgusted.

The groups were assembled. Pinkie Pie and Twilight, Death Wing and Pinkie’s Mother, and Dash and Heart.

“What about you?” Asked Dash.

“I told you.  I’m going alone.”

“Ok… be careful…”

“I will. I’ll be make sure of it.”

“The groups fled out one by one. First Pinkie’s group, then Dash’s, and finally Death’s group. I followed closely behind.

“Creep! Six O’ Clock!” Screamed Twilight to Death Wing. He quickly knifed it from the neck, removing the head. I see why is cutie mark is a knife. He’s good with one.

All the sudden, a scream was heard. Not a scream of the dead, but one of a living one. It was Pinkie’s mother. We were so close to the exit and she tripped.

“Help… Me…” She said weakly.

“No! If I help you it would be for the sake of the group! I can’t stop! We could all die!” I had to yell to her because our gunshots to the Remnants were extremely loud.

“You have to! She’s my mother!” Pinkie now stopped and was risking her life. Are these Ponies stupid!?

“Why can’t you understand!? We’ll all die if I do!”

“I’m not leaving without her!” Pinkie was screaming at me.

“If you stay, you’ll rot with her! Let’s go!”

As I said that, a Remnant got to Pinkie’s mom. Her face was now being torn apart and becoming a delectable meal for the undead. Soon others were swarming around the dead body. This was perfect bait. Now was our chance. The only problem was getting Pinkie to leave.

“Now’s our chance! We have to go!” I said, for all the others had already left the farm and were running on the dirt road.

“No! I… I can’t leave…” She said. I was tired of trying to reason with her. I dropped my gun and used the magic from my horn to drag her away. Soon, we caught up with the others.

“Where… Where do we go now?” Asked Dash, who had to speak loud enough to drown out Pinkie’s crying.

“We can set up camp here. We haven’t seen a Creep for a few miles.” Said Twilight.

“Alright, SOMEPONY shut her up!” I screamed as I threw Pinkie towards Twilight.

“Why can’t you be sensitive? She just lost her family!” Said Dash.

“Well, no one was sensitive when I lost my family! All I got was three bullets and a cheap toy gun to get away. Being sensitive has no meaning in this world!” I was yelling and a few tears went down my face for I had accidentally remembered the death of my mother. I try not to remember that day…

“Now’s not the time for everyone to complain! We need to set up camp!” Said Heart.

An hour later and we had small tents for everyone set up, and a nice little fire. We all gathered around the fire and began to roast some berries we found in the woods. Roasted berries surprisingly taste better than it sounds.

“Well, I’m off to bed.” I was the first to go to bed, as usual.

“Goodnight. We’re waking up early to discuss what to do next.” Said Twilight.

“Ok. I just need sleep.”

The next morning came and I was sure enough woken up early. We all gathered around the campfire which was now nonexistent. The ground was wet. It must’ve rained.

“What do we do now?” Asked Dash.

“I have an idea. Does anypony have a map?” Said Twilight. I totally forgot about that. I did have a map! Why didn’t I use it before? I could have been talking to Princess Luna by now! All the things I could have done if I had remembered about this map I had.

“I do.” I spoke up.

“Great, hand it here.” I handed the map to Twilight.

“Here, Fillydelphia. We have an HQ up here and it’s pretty clean of the undead.” Twilight circled part of the map.

“Sounds good to me.” Said Death Wing. “I’d like to go back, anyways.”

“Anypony object?”

“How far away is this place?” I ask.

“It’ll be some distance.” Said Twilight

“Well we better start walking then?”

“Yup! Let’s go!” Twilight was cheery. I wonder why?
