"P-Pinkie?" Twilight stuttered.

But there was no response.

"Pinkie?" Twilight tried again. "Pinkamena Diane Pie!"

Twilight was now frantically shouting, fear consuming her thoughts.

"Where are you?!"

Twilight tried to stand up, but the fact that her body was vibrating dangerously didn't help.

"It's okay Twilight, I'm sure she's fine. She is fine. Get a hold of yourself Twilight. Pinkie Pie is fine."

Twilight inhaled and exhaled deeply.

"Okay, let's just start looking for her. Where could she be..."

Suddenly, a flickering light appeared out of nowhere.

What was that? wondered Twilight. Maybe I should follow it. I might even find Pinkie Pie!

This thought gave Twilight determination, and she started to gallop towards the mysterious light source. As she got closer, the light started to fade. That made Twilight scared, so she started to gallop even faster and faster until she got out, where the only light was the stars in the night sky, and the rest was pitch dark. Twilight lit her horn up and looked around, but she couldn't see anything unusual. Until she heard the bushes vibrantly shake as a dark figure came out of it.

"Pinkie? Is that you?"

The figure started to slowly walk towards Twilight, sending a chill down her spine.

"Pinkie? Pinkie! If this is some kind of joke, then it really isn't funny!"

"Joke?" the figure replied in a hoarse and scratchy voice, almost as if they were dying. "this is not a joke, I can assure you of that Twilight Sparkle."

"Who are you?" Twilight brought her horn closer to the figure to see who it was. She gasped as she realized that it was - that it was Pinkie Pie.

"P-pinkie? Please stop. Please go back to normal. Please! I-I'm scared." Twilight's voice turned into almost a whisper as she backed away, not wanting to see anymore. She just wanted to go back to Ponyville and be with everypony again - especially Pinkie Pie. She just wanted to be together, she just wanted...she just wanted to be a careless filly who didn't have to worry about these things again.

She looked back to see where she had come from, and not to her surprise, it was a cave. A cave in...the EVERFREE FORREST?!

"What- Where-"

"You'll find out soon enough," the hoarse voice replied. It started coming nearer and nearer, forcing Twilight to see the monster infront of her. "And then, you will become one of us."

She smiled, which was scary, for it showed Twilight her fangs, and her blood red eyes shone in the dark. Her skin had turned as black as charcoal, and her hair had gone flat. It was nothing like the Pinkie Pie that Twilight remembered.

As The figure started coming closer, Twilight's natural instincts took control of her. She wanted to talk to her, ask her why she had turned into this monster - but her body disobeyed. Her legs started galloping away from the cave and away from the figure, but for some odd reason, the figure wasn't following Twilight.

But then Twilight figured out why. There was more than one.

Much more.

Everypony who was at the taco factory had turned into a dark figure.

And Twilight was scared. So scared.

She started galloping for her life again, terrified. She wanted to live, she was still so young. She didn't want to die...

She ran and ran, but there was no point. More and more kept coming, and she was just getting lost. There was no way that she was ever going to find her way out of here.

It was over.

She stopped running. There was no point anymore. She looked around. She was cornered. But that was okay. There was nothing to fight for anymore. The only pony who cared about her and whom she cared for was gone. If she joined her, at least they would be together. At least they could suffer, together.

Twilight closed her eyes, ready for what ever was ahead of her. She tried to stay calm, but she was really sweating and she had a strong urge to scream. She could feel somepony's breath now - that foul smell!

She opened her eyes at the wrong moment.

She was pinned to the ground, and the pony in front of her had her horn glowing. Twilight knew it was all over.

As natural instincts started to take over, she tried to scream. But it was too late.

She was already gone.

***

Princess Celestia sighed. It had been a year now since Twilight and Pinkie Pie had disappeared to an unknown location. And still, nopony had found them. Everypony who went searching for them either came back not remembering anything ( yes not even there names and stuff ), or they just never returned.

And so nopony ever knew anything about Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie again.
