My little Zombie: Brains are Magic(continued)by MicarderChaptersChapter 5Chapter 7Chapter 9Chapter 10Chapter 11Chapter 12Chapter 13Chapter 6Chapter 8Chapter 5In the slow moment which seemed forever. Nothing was heard except for the patting of the rain around the two fillies. The silence was eventually broken by one of the fillies. "What is it?" Said the small grey filly. "A grave" said by Applebloom the other filly. "How's it a grave?' "What else could it be." "I see your point but it doesn't mean what it could be as what you think it is." "Its a grave." said Applebloom as she put on her leather hat. "You don't that for sure." Said the other filly who read the tree bark that read Sotaloo with a jaggy heart drawed under neath. "What do you think it is then?" asked Applebloom. "Could be a note or something like it." "A note? A note!" Said Applebloom, with her voiced raised an octave. Then a bolt of lightning ran down with the upcoming thunder roared. It scared the small grey filly half to death for two reasons. The first was the noise, and the second the flash had seemed to vanish the fog for a second. Like a pony blinking. What it revealed was an outline of a tall and thin monster hiding in the mist about ten feet away from where they stand. It frightened the grey filly were Apple bloom stood there looking at the supposed grave with a death stare. "Applebloom, we have to get put of this." Said the filly. No reply. "Applebloom?" Silence. The filly walked half way in front of Applebloom. The shadow of her hat had disguised her face with a shadow. "Applebloom?!" Yelled the filly. Applebloom had looked up a sly to who her face. One of Appleblooms eyes fixed on the filly and then other on the unknown tree bark. It looked like she wanted to kill the filly. The filly had then begin having thoughts on if she's going insane again or into one of those trances she described. The eye that was doing a death stare moved back to the the piece of tree bark in the ground. The filly then saw the white rim of Appleblooms eye, they were bloodshot with a follow up of being swollen. Applebloom was crying but was trying to hold back the tears. She then leaned forward and trotted to the tree bark and leaned down. "What are you doing?" Asked the filly. "I need to know." Applebloom finally answered as she began scraping the ground with her front hooves. "To know what?" Asked the filly again "I need to see the body." Replied Applebloom as she was moving around the layer of dirt on the play ground. "We don't have time for this." Yelled the filly No reply. "Applebloom, that thing could be any where!" Yelled the filly. "What would you do?!" Asked Applebloom. "If your best friend was gone and you have almost nothing left!?" "I already have lost mine." Replied the filly which got Applebloom to stop shoveling the dirt around. Applebloom had forgot about the sugar cubes story. "If I had time to bury them I'd let them rest in peace, and if I didn't bury them I wouldn't dig them up. Besides I fear the way she died if that really is a grave. She could have been bitten and then you probably be gone to before I know it." Applebloom turned around, eyes balling out. "Please we need to find shelter until that monstrosity goes away." "Yah." Replied Applebloom. "I just *sniff* don't want to let her go." "I know." Replied the filly as she pulled the emotionally destroyed Applebloom back to the school house. Chapter 7The figures moved down the stairs of the cellar door. They looked the same in the dark. They were two black blobs. As soon as they got down the stairs the filly shined her blue light. Now they could bee told apart. The first was the unicorn. Her face was devoid of life and was covered in dirt and some sort of zits. The pegasus following behind her had also had no life in his face but surprisingly his face was much cleaner than the unicorns. The only thing they have the same now is there milky white eyes and jet black pupils. The pegasus noticed the grey filly's light and turned his attention. The filly jumped back avoiding an attack from the pegasus as he sunk his teeth in the air. "Shit," replied Applebloom. There was no way of helping the filly till she killed the unicorn in front of her. She whipped her head back with the hollow shelf leg and whipped her head back in front. It danced in the air until it made contact with the unicorn's face, making a wet slap sound. Applebloom jumped back as the unicorn attempted to bite her. Applebloom dodge the bite but made contact with the concrete walls cracking her knees. Pain rushed in her legs but she was determined to save the filly. She whipped her head back then forth. The hollow leg pierced the unicorns eye. The monster stopped moving. A crack from across the room dragged Applebloom's attention. The filly had slammed a 2 by 4 onto the male pegasus. The creature didn't even react to the blow. Applebloom charged across the room and slammed the pegasus onto the wall. "Run," yelled Applebloom to the filly. The creature had regained its balance and growled faintly. Applebloom need to think of something, she didn't have the energy for another attack like she did. Applebloom soon found she was backing up into a corner as the monster moved closer. She looked around the room, no weapon or her filly companion. At least she listened, thought Applebloom. The monster had came closer enough for Applebloom to smell his breath. Applebloom swung one of her front hoof at its head. The monster didn't even flinch. A miracle had then charge down the stairs of the cellar door. The filly came back armed with a large stick. The monster turned around at the moment when the stick smashed into his skull. The stick shattered as it caved in the pegasus' skull. Pink and grey liquid poured out of the head of the pegasus. The two fillies wrapped there hooves around each other. "You don't listen do you," asked Applebloom? "No not really," replied the filly. "Thanks." "Its not over," said the filly who pulled away from there hug. "There's more?" asked Applebloom. "No, I heard a scream before I came back," replied the filly. Chapter 9The search was leading no where. More screaming was heard but it bounced alround like a ball in a pinball machine. It started off to a hope of seeing new faces to a hopeless cause. The filly and Applebloom had now entered in the market district , or what was left of it. Nothing but the smell of rotting food. What would Applebloom give to have a tulip sandwich, thought Applebloom. Now the duo entered the town center. What glorious memories were filled here. "I think its coming from the recreation center," Said the filly. "What makes you say that?" replied Applebloom. "The screams, they sound louder near the building." Applebloom adjusted her ears up high. No screaming so no way of telling if they are there or not. Applebloom shrugged. "We can still check it out," Replied the filly. "I suppose," replied Applebloom. They galloped towards the building. It was located a block and a half away from the town center. Applebloom actually forgot the town center was the library. She misses so many ponies and a dragon. Applebloom always wondered why the town square was at the edge of ponyville instead of in the center. Its one of them things that can't be answered, at least not any more. Applebloom felt a drop of water running down her cheek. Before Applebloom realized it they were here at the recreation center. "Welcome to the main building for almost all outdoor and indoor activities," Applebloom said in an anoucer voice. The filly replied by laughing like a foreign mare. "Haha yeah, say were did you learn the word recreation." "Green she...........showed us," replied the filly. "Sorry." "For what?" "For well you know." "Its fine, Green always said to let the most horrible memories to not get the best of you." "That's helpful." "I never got the hang of it, can we not talk about it." "Yeah." They were at the door to the recreation center. The sun reflected off the dark color glass that was the door. Applebloom was wandering what time it was and reached for her pocket watch. 7:43. "I've been meaning to ask you," said the filly breaking Appleblooms concentration of the watch? "What is it," replied Applebloom. "Were did you get that watch?" "What this?" Motioning the watch "Yes." Replied the filly. "This belonged to my sister AppleJack. Same as the hat." Said Applebloom motioning the leather hat. "Oh," said the filly, " just never seen a watch before." "Its OK I know you were just curious." " I'm sorry." "For what asking about my wa-" "For your sister." "Oh I uh........." "I just wanting to know where you got the watch." "Your fine I know." "Then why are you crying?" Applebloom raised her front hoof and instantly felt a wet cheek. She was quiet. "Want to just go in," asked the filly Silence "Fair warning last time I was here there were some infected in here." Silence "You OK Applebloom." "You must listen to me," replied Applebloom. "Huh," responded the filly. "No matter what you have to remember what I told you so please stay close OK." "I will and thanks." "Ya ready sugarcube?" "Uh huh." Applebloom cautiously pushed open the door of the recreation room with her front left hoof. Chapter 10Dust. Dust was all over the place. The furniture, walls, floor, and the air. It was hard to breathe, like a thick substance without a name. Applebloom felt like she was gonna pass out. She doesn't have any breathing problems, still it was difficult to breathe. The lobby was a pentagon shaped with the two lines on top removed. The room had black walls and white tiled floors. A desk of the same shape is in the middle of the room. Near the two ends of the desk were gates. The right side were rotator gates while the left side was a just one big gate, it was glass and had a sign with a symbol that means handicap. The gate seperates the room into two. On the filly's side were two bench's on opposite side of the room. They were blue with cushions on them as the same color, there actually not far from being a couch. On the other side of the room was just filled with a couple of photos of past employees and participants, other than that they're two hallways on the picture side of the room. "Wow," reacted the filly as she saw the benches. Applebloom couldn't keep a straight face and laughed. The filly joined in. The lobby was filled with laughter in minutes. "Why did you *giggle* started laughing *hic*" asked the filly. "You sugarcube," started Applebloom as she took a deep breathe, "it just caught me off guard." The filly giggled in response. Applebloom galloped to the rotary gates and pushed them.*cling*. Locked. "Oh umm the last time I was here me and my fends got the handicapped door unlocked," said the filly. Applebloom approached the glass door and pulled back with a handle lower on the door for easy hooves access. The door opened with no problem. Applebloom looked back at the filly who was sitting on one of the benches. Applebloom smiled, the filly shrugged in response. "Ya coming sugarcube," asked Applebloom? "Uh huh," responded the filly. Applebloom held the door open for the filly. She turned back around to notice all the things on the desk. The items included a quill and ink jar and papers that involved things such as bills, submitions into the center, and a wooden chair which was behind the desk. The thing that caught her attention the most was a peace of notebook paper. "Hey uh hold on there," said Applebloom. She approached the desk and raised up on the wooden chair. The filly saw the notebook paper too. The paper was recitently written on. Applebloom began reading. The note was written well and took time to perfect it. Firestarter, We checked out the recreation center and its clear. Were going to check out the gym next. We'll wait as long as we can but if you don't make it with in three days from when we met then I hope for the best. Our next stop is at the place we talked about. Good luck my friend, Mint green. "What does it say," asked the filly? In response Applebloom handed the paper to the sugar cube. "Wow," reacted the filly. "Uh huh," agreed Applebloom. "Think there still here?" "In a likely case no sugarcube." The two approached the hallways. Left or Right. They chose left. They checked door to door with no good result. The two made it to the last door down the hall. It was a dark wooden door with a metal handle. The last of the doors were rooms each one a particular sport. Applebloom put her hoof. The door quickly flew opened. A feeling of fear rushed into Applebloom. "Ahh," "Hey, what happened," asked the filly "Its uh......its nothing," responded Applebloom The two entered the room slowly. It was skockingly not a room for training of any sport. The room was filled with at least a dozen desks each organized and decorated in there own way, such as old pictures that were ruined through age and random bits and peaces. Applebloom had a feeling of being sick. She wondered if the filly had the feeling. The room wasn't that off from just being normal. It had been untouched by the this sickness. No mess from any pony running or signs that it has been looted. Just a layer of dust. Maybe its that that gives this room such an unnerving feeling. Applebloom was about to tap the filly's shoulder so they can leave but a glimmer caught her attention. She looked squinted at the darkness. What she saw scared her. A donkey was sitting in a a wooden chair behind one of the desks. "Do you see that," asked Applebloom? "..." "Hey ya see that?" Applebloom looked back at the filly to see her perfectly still. She was breathing a little but not much and other than that she was motionless. Like a little colt or filly that is trying there hardest to not get seen in a game of hide and seek, the part that creeped Applebloom out the most was her eyes. The Iris, the colored part, were big and made her pupils small. Like somepony staring into the sun. "Hey, sugarcube," said Applebloom Silence "Hey ya alright," Applebloom tried again Silence Applebloom looked back at where the donkey was. He's still there. He stared at Applebloom directly in the eyes. They were both unmoving. Applebloom just realized she was holding her breathe and quietly exhaled and inhaled. He saw her breathed and changed his view to the desk in front of him. "Um, howdy there?" He didn't respond. Applebloom's choices were quite slim. She didn't know what to do. She moved up to in front of the desk. It was a hard to see who it was but features of a donkey could be seen. Applebloom dared her luck and moved around the desk. She was now standing side by side with this mysterious figure. The donkey was unnormal. He had no fur or hair revealing paled skin. His eyes are brown and are blood shot. Applebloom followed his gaze to another notebook paper. Applebloom picked it up and read it. The note was hastily written unlike the last one. I HATE YOU I hate her so much. She seduce me so I'll let her in. IT WORKED What I didn't know was she was hiding a bite. Woke up to my leg being shredded. I HATE HER I HATE MYSELF I H... ... The rest of the note can not be read as the bottom part of it is soaked with blood. Applebloom gasped in horror. The donkey changed his gaze again back at Applebloom. A grin grew across his face and it grew bigger. He had a demonic smile at this point and opened his mouth "All shall perish before a blind evil," started the donkey, " we can't last as this is life's extinction, all breathes, bleeds, and dies. AAAGGHH!" The donkey's mouth split opened and he screech. The sound was unbearable and hurt Appleblooms ears. She felt herself hurting all over and it felt like an eternity. In a second it was all quite. She felt tears rolling down her face. She opened her eyes to see nothing in front of her, just the desk and the wooden chair. "Are you OK," said a familiar voice. Applebloom got scared and turned around to see her filly companion. "Applebloom?" Applebloom had nothing to say. "Applebloom?" Applebloom wrapped her front hooves around the filly and hugged her. Applebloom just cryed into her shoulder. She didn't have a care in the world and the filly let her, hugging back. "I'm sorry I-I-I-I just *snif*," Applebloom had a hard time talking. "Shhh," responded the filly. "We all cry its who we are......just fillies." Chapter 11"I'm sorry about all this that your *sniff**hic* in this kind of world no one belongs here," Said Applebloom as she began to calm down. "I know, are you OK from your experience in there," asked the filly as she pointed her fore hoof towards the door? "I am just * deep breath* I can't shake this feeling of.....I'm not sure what to call it." "Do you think it was something from that medicine you drank?" "I-I-I'm not sure, I felt like me when I saw it." Applebloom got a chill down her back by saying that. "Is the note you read still in there," asked the filly? Applebloom shrugged her shoulders as she put her back to the wall of the hallway. The filly got up and trotted towards the door that now has a disturbing atmosphere. The filly opened the door and she put her front right hoof into the darkness. It feels colder in here and creepier than when they first entered the room. It encouraged the filly to get out of this room. She saw the desk and moved closer to it. On there was random bits and peaces that you'd find on the rest of the desk except for one. A piece of paper soaked with dry blood and had exactly the same thing that Applebloom described to have on it. She picked up with a simple levatatiln spell. As she picked it up something caught her eye and that was a horn of a unicorn. She ran out of the room without a second thought and entered the hallway with a small short of breath. "Ya got... are you OK," asked Applebloom? "Yeah, I'm fine and got the paper." The filly laid the paper on the floor. Applebloom got up and trotted towards the note on the floor. Its an exact replica as the one in the vision. So was it real or part of the potion's effect. Applebloom wished it was a dream but it felt so real. If only all of this was a dream. Applebloom grabbed the clean part of the note with her mouth and slid it in her satch "Well we still have-” Applebloom was interrupted by a bloodcurtiling scream. The two fillies didn't say a thing. It was sudden and shocking. The filly made eye contact with Applebloom. It was an innocent stare. "You sure you want to do this sugarcube," asked Applebloom as she looked back at the filly? "I've let my friends die I don't want any pony to feel like they've been abandoned because of this, I ran away as they fought that monster not sureing if there alive or not. I abandoned them...... I fear death...... but I can't stand letting ponies die while I stand by." "Oh, sugarcube," said Applebloom softly "I'm tired of ponies suffering, I'm ready. For better or worse." As the filly said this she hugged Applebloom In response Applebloom hugged her back as they prepared for the worsted as they continued there search The sound of fighting and yelling became louder as they approached a set of two doors. They were green doors that were pushable on any sides, and had a narrow window on each door that ran parallel. The two fillies had all sort of ideas running in there head of what was going on in the room that stood before them. Applebloom slowly opened the door to the nightmare that existed in the next room Chapter 12The scene was horrifying. The gym was large and stretch out, it was shaped like a narrow rectangle. The floors were green tiles. The walls were white with windows, lined up one by one, near the ceiling. There were various exercise equipment littering the floor, most were lined up in an organized fashion, except near the center. Dispite, the organization of the equipment the scene was gruesome. In the center, those things have swarmed a group of surviors. The infected ranks were so great that the survivors weren't visible, there indication was makeshift weapons soaring at the top of the pile. That wasn't all of the nightmare. All the way down, on the right wall, was a large hole; in the hole was a mare covered in bites. She was kneeling, arms wrapped around, a pile of entrails. Tears dropped on the entrails, most likely it was once a living walking pony. Now its "everywhere" like it never was made whole. As the fillies watched the horror, Applejack felt a sharp pain through the side of her head. The room began spinning. Gravity suddenly became stronger as Applebloom hit the tiled floor with a thud. In the corner of her eye was a stallion. His mouth dropped open in shock. A sound echoed as something fell. A bat rolled into Applebloom's vision. It was soaked in blood, most likely her blood. Applebloom's vision began to blur. The world spinner as she tried to focus on something, anything. It was going black. Everything started to fade away. She felt hooves on her body, shaking her. Could that be Blue? No it wasn't her. That's not her name anymore. Applebloom tried to focus on the stallion again. He was just standing there in the same stance he was originaly in. Then a new figure came in, Who was that? The pony tackled the shock stallion. He screamed in agony from the pain. That was the last thing Appleblom heard before her vision was swarmed by darkness. * * * "Hey, squirt can you help me with this?" Asked the pegasus. "Uh, yeah sure," replied the earth pony. The pegasus had her mouth on a padlock, meant to keep out intruders for a rickshaw. The earth pony whipped his head back to pull out an arrow. In a swift motion he destroyed the lock with the arrow. He put the arrow back and adjusted his bow. In the richshaw were bits of clothing and a candy bar. "Nothing, damn," cursed the earth pony. The pegasus reached in the rickshaw to pull out the candy bar. She laid it on the ground and put her mouth on one end of the wrapper. Putting her right hoof on the other end, she ripped the wrapper to get at the pure chocolate bar. The pegasus took a bite out of the bar. so sweet. "*sniff**sigh*" "What are you doing?" Asked the earth pony. "Reviving memories," replied the pegasus. "Did you have a kid?" Asked the earth pony. "Something like that, let's say she and a couple other ponies are why I'm down here," replied the pegasus. "Well I'm sorry to ruin your moment but we gotta find the source of that scream," said the earth pony. "Right," replied the pegasus. They searched there surroundings with no success. They begin entering the downtown district of ponyville soon later. It was a ghost town for the two. Theres usually at least a good handful of the sickos here, thought the pegasus. They continued east with no signs of life, or sickos. "There's something going on, and I don't like," said the pegasus. "I agree," said the earth pony, " but we mustn't be detered of our goal here, our*clears throat* I mean your friends must be out here somewhere." "I know," started the pegasus. "but everyday I live on this world........ the thought that they will never be normal again........haunts me." "Don't put to much worry into it, theres got to be a vaccine soon. Your friends will be fi-" "Shh," hushed the pegasus, " another scream in the direction of the recreation center." "Then let's go have fun," said the earth pony. They galloped towards the location of the recreation center. The sound of thunder ran through ponyville with each hoof smacking the dirt. Then, in the distance, the recreation center was finally in sight. The two saw the gaping hole in the wall, they approached with caution. Moans filled the air, and the hole was a speaker. They peeked inside and saw the nightmare within. They were mordepified. "Dear, Celestial," began the earth pony, " mare, are you ok?" The earth pony saw the mare in the gaping hole. She was kneeling before a pile of entrails. The earth pony jumped back as a makeshift blade projected into the mare. "Oh, shit," responded the earth pony, "why'd you do that?" He motioned the question to his partner. "She was littered with bitemarks, there's nothing we can do for her anymore," replied the pegasus. "May she rest in pea-" "Oh, Celestia," screamed the pegasus. "What?" Asked the earth pony. "That pony, with the red mane I know her." "That's in the past we can't save everyone you once knew befo- HEY!" The pegasus rushed forward, weapon in mouth. She moved like a fast animal, and her slashes to the undead were like lightning. The monster fell before like wheat before the scythe as she charged for the red mane foal. The earth pony drew his bow and slammed it within the earth. He drew an arrow and slid it into the slot, pulled back, released, repeat. The pegasus reached her destination, before the fallen foal. A solid black pony was fighting an undead with a bat in her mouth. The pegasus stepped in, slamming her blade into the skull of the monster. It fell like rock as it hit the floor with a thud. "Thank you," said the black unicorn, " please you got to help us sh-" "This is what I'm here for kid," said the pegasus, "grab your bat and follow me out of here." "What about them?" The unicorn mentioned about the survivors in the center. "Us helping would cost us our lives," said the pegasus, " There's nothing left for us to do here now." The pegasus saw a leather hat on the floor, memories began firing up like wild fire. The pegasus turned back and lowered near the fallen foal. The unicorn, with a little bit of minuvering, got the foal on the back of the pegasus. The pegasus grabbed the leather hat with her mouth. They charged out through the gaping hole. Why am I moving so much. Oh yeah the pony shaking me. No, this feels different. "Hey, sugarcube wake up," demanded the pegasus. What sugarcube. "Please I know your alright talk to me!" Yelled the pegasus I don't know how to. "Please Applebloom,*sniff* I need to know your alright." She knows me I don't know her though. The pegasus dropped her mask that coved her face. She breathed in air between crying and gasping. She saw Applebloom open her eyes a bit. The pegasus gasped. "Please, you need to wake up." Applebloom looked up at the face. It was something out of a nightmare that was staring right back at her. Applebloom wanted to move, but she felt stuck. The monster's face stretched out and got closer to Applebloom. It opened its mouth revealing a loud noise that caused her vision to go black Applejack? Yeah. I'm scared, I want us to be together. Forever. hush, its all gonna be alright. As long as you keep breathing I'll keep those things away. No matter what. OK? do you promise? I promise. With all my heart I promised Big Mac and I'll promise you, you will live to see us going back to the ways things use to be. I promise *sniff*. I wish it was true. I miss y'all so much. *sniff* *gasp* Author's Note Hey guys, thanks for reading. For those who've been enjoying this series thank you for staying to support.

Chapter 13Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 6The blue light from the grey filly flickered like candle light. It flickered and flickered till it went out as the filly had use the strength to control the light. It was now Applebloom and the unnamed grey filly versus the dark of the school basement. It was not the best place, since it was hoof deep in water from the raging storms, it was better than the noisy surface and that stalkish creature lurking out there. As a bonus there was a pad lock for the door that led directly outside. Applebloom always found it difficult to sleep while standing up. She gave the filly a desk that was used in the schools newspaper as a bed. That was the only furniture besides some dusty metal shelves that look worse to sleep on then standing up. However, it slowly came to her and slowly her eyes met total darkness. THUMP THUMP THUMP Applebloom woke to the sound of banging on the padlock door. The filly also woke up with sleepies in her eyes. Applebloom whipped her head into her satchel and placed her watch on the old shelves and looked at it. 2:49. "What is it," asked the filly still laying on the desk. "Shhh," replied Applebloom. She didn't know what it was either. Applebloom remembered a small window in the basement that had a view of the door. THUMP THUMP THUMP! It grew louder with each knock. Applebloom looked out the window. "Well," asked the filly. "Sshh," same reply from Applebloom. The rain had stopped and the fog withered away. It showed bad company at the door. Two infected were at the door. The first was a massive male pegasus with an unnatural brown color fur and matted black mane and tail. The second was a smaller female unicorn with a large head, pinkish fur layered in dirt and a purple mane and tail. The female raised her head and quickly THUMP THUMP THUMP smashed her head in the padlock door. The brown pegasus was knawing on the side of the door. They both knew what relied beyond the door, a meal. "Oh my," replied the filly, who now stared out in the dark now. Applebloom then walked the door with the key that was in the desk. "Um you do have a plan right?" asked the filly. "Its our only way out," replied Applebloom. "I have an idea," said the filly. Her horn glowing she motioned Applebloom to open the door. Applebloom knew what she was going to do. Applebloom quickly yanked free a metal leg from one of the old shelves. Applebloom approached the door. THUMP THUMP THUMP. She unlocked the padlock and opened the door for the shadowy figures that went down stairs. Chapter 8"A scream you sa?" asked Applebloom. "That's exactly what I heard at least what I think," said the young filly. "You think?" replied Applebloom. The night was as silent as it ever was. The two fillies have searched for this actual or imaginary life for about close to half an hour. Applebloom got her watch out from her satchel and looked at it. 3:03. They were between the popular Pony Ville spa and across the street was the Pony Ville barber. The spa was robbed of all useful items and equipment and was left to roast as a fire shortly burned it down. The barber shop was actually never touched beside the chip painted sign and weird graffiti sign on front of the building that said "shhh, the fish sleep near." All was quiet like the town ( actually is) a ghost town. Applejack honestly didn't know what she was doing. Her objective was to secure the potion that Twilight left here and now Applebloom seemed stuck on what to do with now searching for any life in this silent town. Then the unexpected happened. Something broke the silence, it was a scream. "Thats what I heard," replied the small filly. Another sream roared into the night.The scream was high pitched and scratchy. It lasted for about two seconds. Though, despite the short time it was definetly a mare's scream. The filly ran in to the direction of where the scream was produced. Applebloom quickly yanked the filly back by biting her tail. "Ow," responded the filly. "Sorry," said Applebloom, "but we're not going." "Why?" replied the filly. "We don't know why there screaming or if we can trust these strangers." "But its a way to find more life Applebloom." Its true that Applebloom was eager to see more life, any in her case, but would it be worth putting there lives in risk? "Applebloom," said the filly, " could we, it may help in the future?" "How?" asked Applebloom. "Its how I met my friends, we found each other cause I helped them when they needed it." Applebloom thought on this. "Please?" asked the filly. "Fine," responded Applebloom, " but, you need to listen to every word I say ok, I don't want you to be put in unneeded danger, OK." "Crystal."
Chapter 5In the slow moment which seemed forever. Nothing was heard except for the patting of the rain around the two fillies. The silence was eventually broken by one of the fillies. "What is it?" Said the small grey filly. "A grave" said by Applebloom the other filly. "How's it a grave?' "What else could it be." "I see your point but it doesn't mean what it could be as what you think it is." "Its a grave." said Applebloom as she put on her leather hat. "You don't that for sure." Said the other filly who read the tree bark that read Sotaloo with a jaggy heart drawed under neath. "What do you think it is then?" asked Applebloom. "Could be a note or something like it." "A note? A note!" Said Applebloom, with her voiced raised an octave. Then a bolt of lightning ran down with the upcoming thunder roared. It scared the small grey filly half to death for two reasons. The first was the noise, and the second the flash had seemed to vanish the fog for a second. Like a pony blinking. What it revealed was an outline of a tall and thin monster hiding in the mist about ten feet away from where they stand. It frightened the grey filly were Apple bloom stood there looking at the supposed grave with a death stare. "Applebloom, we have to get put of this." Said the filly. No reply. "Applebloom?" Silence. The filly walked half way in front of Applebloom. The shadow of her hat had disguised her face with a shadow. "Applebloom?!" Yelled the filly. Applebloom had looked up a sly to who her face. One of Appleblooms eyes fixed on the filly and then other on the unknown tree bark. It looked like she wanted to kill the filly. The filly had then begin having thoughts on if she's going insane again or into one of those trances she described. The eye that was doing a death stare moved back to the the piece of tree bark in the ground. The filly then saw the white rim of Appleblooms eye, they were bloodshot with a follow up of being swollen. Applebloom was crying but was trying to hold back the tears. She then leaned forward and trotted to the tree bark and leaned down. "What are you doing?" Asked the filly. "I need to know." Applebloom finally answered as she began scraping the ground with her front hooves. "To know what?" Asked the filly again "I need to see the body." Replied Applebloom as she was moving around the layer of dirt on the play ground. "We don't have time for this." Yelled the filly No reply. "Applebloom, that thing could be any where!" Yelled the filly. "What would you do?!" Asked Applebloom. "If your best friend was gone and you have almost nothing left!?" "I already have lost mine." Replied the filly which got Applebloom to stop shoveling the dirt around. Applebloom had forgot about the sugar cubes story. "If I had time to bury them I'd let them rest in peace, and if I didn't bury them I wouldn't dig them up. Besides I fear the way she died if that really is a grave. She could have been bitten and then you probably be gone to before I know it." Applebloom turned around, eyes balling out. "Please we need to find shelter until that monstrosity goes away." "Yah." Replied Applebloom. "I just *sniff* don't want to let her go." "I know." Replied the filly as she pulled the emotionally destroyed Applebloom back to the school house.
Chapter 7The figures moved down the stairs of the cellar door. They looked the same in the dark. They were two black blobs. As soon as they got down the stairs the filly shined her blue light. Now they could bee told apart. The first was the unicorn. Her face was devoid of life and was covered in dirt and some sort of zits. The pegasus following behind her had also had no life in his face but surprisingly his face was much cleaner than the unicorns. The only thing they have the same now is there milky white eyes and jet black pupils. The pegasus noticed the grey filly's light and turned his attention. The filly jumped back avoiding an attack from the pegasus as he sunk his teeth in the air. "Shit," replied Applebloom. There was no way of helping the filly till she killed the unicorn in front of her. She whipped her head back with the hollow shelf leg and whipped her head back in front. It danced in the air until it made contact with the unicorn's face, making a wet slap sound. Applebloom jumped back as the unicorn attempted to bite her. Applebloom dodge the bite but made contact with the concrete walls cracking her knees. Pain rushed in her legs but she was determined to save the filly. She whipped her head back then forth. The hollow leg pierced the unicorns eye. The monster stopped moving. A crack from across the room dragged Applebloom's attention. The filly had slammed a 2 by 4 onto the male pegasus. The creature didn't even react to the blow. Applebloom charged across the room and slammed the pegasus onto the wall. "Run," yelled Applebloom to the filly. The creature had regained its balance and growled faintly. Applebloom need to think of something, she didn't have the energy for another attack like she did. Applebloom soon found she was backing up into a corner as the monster moved closer. She looked around the room, no weapon or her filly companion. At least she listened, thought Applebloom. The monster had came closer enough for Applebloom to smell his breath. Applebloom swung one of her front hoof at its head. The monster didn't even flinch. A miracle had then charge down the stairs of the cellar door. The filly came back armed with a large stick. The monster turned around at the moment when the stick smashed into his skull. The stick shattered as it caved in the pegasus' skull. Pink and grey liquid poured out of the head of the pegasus. The two fillies wrapped there hooves around each other. "You don't listen do you," asked Applebloom? "No not really," replied the filly. "Thanks." "Its not over," said the filly who pulled away from there hug. "There's more?" asked Applebloom. "No, I heard a scream before I came back," replied the filly.
Chapter 9The search was leading no where. More screaming was heard but it bounced alround like a ball in a pinball machine. It started off to a hope of seeing new faces to a hopeless cause. The filly and Applebloom had now entered in the market district , or what was left of it. Nothing but the smell of rotting food. What would Applebloom give to have a tulip sandwich, thought Applebloom. Now the duo entered the town center. What glorious memories were filled here. "I think its coming from the recreation center," Said the filly. "What makes you say that?" replied Applebloom. "The screams, they sound louder near the building." Applebloom adjusted her ears up high. No screaming so no way of telling if they are there or not. Applebloom shrugged. "We can still check it out," Replied the filly. "I suppose," replied Applebloom. They galloped towards the building. It was located a block and a half away from the town center. Applebloom actually forgot the town center was the library. She misses so many ponies and a dragon. Applebloom always wondered why the town square was at the edge of ponyville instead of in the center. Its one of them things that can't be answered, at least not any more. Applebloom felt a drop of water running down her cheek. Before Applebloom realized it they were here at the recreation center. "Welcome to the main building for almost all outdoor and indoor activities," Applebloom said in an anoucer voice. The filly replied by laughing like a foreign mare. "Haha yeah, say were did you learn the word recreation." "Green she...........showed us," replied the filly. "Sorry." "For what?" "For well you know." "Its fine, Green always said to let the most horrible memories to not get the best of you." "That's helpful." "I never got the hang of it, can we not talk about it." "Yeah." They were at the door to the recreation center. The sun reflected off the dark color glass that was the door. Applebloom was wandering what time it was and reached for her pocket watch. 7:43. "I've been meaning to ask you," said the filly breaking Appleblooms concentration of the watch? "What is it," replied Applebloom. "Were did you get that watch?" "What this?" Motioning the watch "Yes." Replied the filly. "This belonged to my sister AppleJack. Same as the hat." Said Applebloom motioning the leather hat. "Oh," said the filly, " just never seen a watch before." "Its OK I know you were just curious." " I'm sorry." "For what asking about my wa-" "For your sister." "Oh I uh........." "I just wanting to know where you got the watch." "Your fine I know." "Then why are you crying?" Applebloom raised her front hoof and instantly felt a wet cheek. She was quiet. "Want to just go in," asked the filly Silence "Fair warning last time I was here there were some infected in here." Silence "You OK Applebloom." "You must listen to me," replied Applebloom. "Huh," responded the filly. "No matter what you have to remember what I told you so please stay close OK." "I will and thanks." "Ya ready sugarcube?" "Uh huh." Applebloom cautiously pushed open the door of the recreation room with her front left hoof.
Chapter 10Dust. Dust was all over the place. The furniture, walls, floor, and the air. It was hard to breathe, like a thick substance without a name. Applebloom felt like she was gonna pass out. She doesn't have any breathing problems, still it was difficult to breathe. The lobby was a pentagon shaped with the two lines on top removed. The room had black walls and white tiled floors. A desk of the same shape is in the middle of the room. Near the two ends of the desk were gates. The right side were rotator gates while the left side was a just one big gate, it was glass and had a sign with a symbol that means handicap. The gate seperates the room into two. On the filly's side were two bench's on opposite side of the room. They were blue with cushions on them as the same color, there actually not far from being a couch. On the other side of the room was just filled with a couple of photos of past employees and participants, other than that they're two hallways on the picture side of the room. "Wow," reacted the filly as she saw the benches. Applebloom couldn't keep a straight face and laughed. The filly joined in. The lobby was filled with laughter in minutes. "Why did you *giggle* started laughing *hic*" asked the filly. "You sugarcube," started Applebloom as she took a deep breathe, "it just caught me off guard." The filly giggled in response. Applebloom galloped to the rotary gates and pushed them.*cling*. Locked. "Oh umm the last time I was here me and my fends got the handicapped door unlocked," said the filly. Applebloom approached the glass door and pulled back with a handle lower on the door for easy hooves access. The door opened with no problem. Applebloom looked back at the filly who was sitting on one of the benches. Applebloom smiled, the filly shrugged in response. "Ya coming sugarcube," asked Applebloom? "Uh huh," responded the filly. Applebloom held the door open for the filly. She turned back around to notice all the things on the desk. The items included a quill and ink jar and papers that involved things such as bills, submitions into the center, and a wooden chair which was behind the desk. The thing that caught her attention the most was a peace of notebook paper. "Hey uh hold on there," said Applebloom. She approached the desk and raised up on the wooden chair. The filly saw the notebook paper too. The paper was recitently written on. Applebloom began reading. The note was written well and took time to perfect it. Firestarter, We checked out the recreation center and its clear. Were going to check out the gym next. We'll wait as long as we can but if you don't make it with in three days from when we met then I hope for the best. Our next stop is at the place we talked about. Good luck my friend, Mint green. "What does it say," asked the filly? In response Applebloom handed the paper to the sugar cube. "Wow," reacted the filly. "Uh huh," agreed Applebloom. "Think there still here?" "In a likely case no sugarcube." The two approached the hallways. Left or Right. They chose left. They checked door to door with no good result. The two made it to the last door down the hall. It was a dark wooden door with a metal handle. The last of the doors were rooms each one a particular sport. Applebloom put her hoof. The door quickly flew opened. A feeling of fear rushed into Applebloom. "Ahh," "Hey, what happened," asked the filly "Its uh......its nothing," responded Applebloom The two entered the room slowly. It was skockingly not a room for training of any sport. The room was filled with at least a dozen desks each organized and decorated in there own way, such as old pictures that were ruined through age and random bits and peaces. Applebloom had a feeling of being sick. She wondered if the filly had the feeling. The room wasn't that off from just being normal. It had been untouched by the this sickness. No mess from any pony running or signs that it has been looted. Just a layer of dust. Maybe its that that gives this room such an unnerving feeling. Applebloom was about to tap the filly's shoulder so they can leave but a glimmer caught her attention. She looked squinted at the darkness. What she saw scared her. A donkey was sitting in a a wooden chair behind one of the desks. "Do you see that," asked Applebloom? "..." "Hey ya see that?" Applebloom looked back at the filly to see her perfectly still. She was breathing a little but not much and other than that she was motionless. Like a little colt or filly that is trying there hardest to not get seen in a game of hide and seek, the part that creeped Applebloom out the most was her eyes. The Iris, the colored part, were big and made her pupils small. Like somepony staring into the sun. "Hey, sugarcube," said Applebloom Silence "Hey ya alright," Applebloom tried again Silence Applebloom looked back at where the donkey was. He's still there. He stared at Applebloom directly in the eyes. They were both unmoving. Applebloom just realized she was holding her breathe and quietly exhaled and inhaled. He saw her breathed and changed his view to the desk in front of him. "Um, howdy there?" He didn't respond. Applebloom's choices were quite slim. She didn't know what to do. She moved up to in front of the desk. It was a hard to see who it was but features of a donkey could be seen. Applebloom dared her luck and moved around the desk. She was now standing side by side with this mysterious figure. The donkey was unnormal. He had no fur or hair revealing paled skin. His eyes are brown and are blood shot. Applebloom followed his gaze to another notebook paper. Applebloom picked it up and read it. The note was hastily written unlike the last one. I HATE YOU I hate her so much. She seduce me so I'll let her in. IT WORKED What I didn't know was she was hiding a bite. Woke up to my leg being shredded. I HATE HER I HATE MYSELF I H... ... The rest of the note can not be read as the bottom part of it is soaked with blood. Applebloom gasped in horror. The donkey changed his gaze again back at Applebloom. A grin grew across his face and it grew bigger. He had a demonic smile at this point and opened his mouth "All shall perish before a blind evil," started the donkey, " we can't last as this is life's extinction, all breathes, bleeds, and dies. AAAGGHH!" The donkey's mouth split opened and he screech. The sound was unbearable and hurt Appleblooms ears. She felt herself hurting all over and it felt like an eternity. In a second it was all quite. She felt tears rolling down her face. She opened her eyes to see nothing in front of her, just the desk and the wooden chair. "Are you OK," said a familiar voice. Applebloom got scared and turned around to see her filly companion. "Applebloom?" Applebloom had nothing to say. "Applebloom?" Applebloom wrapped her front hooves around the filly and hugged her. Applebloom just cryed into her shoulder. She didn't have a care in the world and the filly let her, hugging back. "I'm sorry I-I-I-I just *snif*," Applebloom had a hard time talking. "Shhh," responded the filly. "We all cry its who we are......just fillies."
Chapter 11"I'm sorry about all this that your *sniff**hic* in this kind of world no one belongs here," Said Applebloom as she began to calm down. "I know, are you OK from your experience in there," asked the filly as she pointed her fore hoof towards the door? "I am just * deep breath* I can't shake this feeling of.....I'm not sure what to call it." "Do you think it was something from that medicine you drank?" "I-I-I'm not sure, I felt like me when I saw it." Applebloom got a chill down her back by saying that. "Is the note you read still in there," asked the filly? Applebloom shrugged her shoulders as she put her back to the wall of the hallway. The filly got up and trotted towards the door that now has a disturbing atmosphere. The filly opened the door and she put her front right hoof into the darkness. It feels colder in here and creepier than when they first entered the room. It encouraged the filly to get out of this room. She saw the desk and moved closer to it. On there was random bits and peaces that you'd find on the rest of the desk except for one. A piece of paper soaked with dry blood and had exactly the same thing that Applebloom described to have on it. She picked up with a simple levatatiln spell. As she picked it up something caught her eye and that was a horn of a unicorn. She ran out of the room without a second thought and entered the hallway with a small short of breath. "Ya got... are you OK," asked Applebloom? "Yeah, I'm fine and got the paper." The filly laid the paper on the floor. Applebloom got up and trotted towards the note on the floor. Its an exact replica as the one in the vision. So was it real or part of the potion's effect. Applebloom wished it was a dream but it felt so real. If only all of this was a dream. Applebloom grabbed the clean part of the note with her mouth and slid it in her satch "Well we still have-” Applebloom was interrupted by a bloodcurtiling scream. The two fillies didn't say a thing. It was sudden and shocking. The filly made eye contact with Applebloom. It was an innocent stare. "You sure you want to do this sugarcube," asked Applebloom as she looked back at the filly? "I've let my friends die I don't want any pony to feel like they've been abandoned because of this, I ran away as they fought that monster not sureing if there alive or not. I abandoned them...... I fear death...... but I can't stand letting ponies die while I stand by." "Oh, sugarcube," said Applebloom softly "I'm tired of ponies suffering, I'm ready. For better or worse." As the filly said this she hugged Applebloom In response Applebloom hugged her back as they prepared for the worsted as they continued there search The sound of fighting and yelling became louder as they approached a set of two doors. They were green doors that were pushable on any sides, and had a narrow window on each door that ran parallel. The two fillies had all sort of ideas running in there head of what was going on in the room that stood before them. Applebloom slowly opened the door to the nightmare that existed in the next room
Chapter 12The scene was horrifying. The gym was large and stretch out, it was shaped like a narrow rectangle. The floors were green tiles. The walls were white with windows, lined up one by one, near the ceiling. There were various exercise equipment littering the floor, most were lined up in an organized fashion, except near the center. Dispite, the organization of the equipment the scene was gruesome. In the center, those things have swarmed a group of surviors. The infected ranks were so great that the survivors weren't visible, there indication was makeshift weapons soaring at the top of the pile. That wasn't all of the nightmare. All the way down, on the right wall, was a large hole; in the hole was a mare covered in bites. She was kneeling, arms wrapped around, a pile of entrails. Tears dropped on the entrails, most likely it was once a living walking pony. Now its "everywhere" like it never was made whole. As the fillies watched the horror, Applejack felt a sharp pain through the side of her head. The room began spinning. Gravity suddenly became stronger as Applebloom hit the tiled floor with a thud. In the corner of her eye was a stallion. His mouth dropped open in shock. A sound echoed as something fell. A bat rolled into Applebloom's vision. It was soaked in blood, most likely her blood. Applebloom's vision began to blur. The world spinner as she tried to focus on something, anything. It was going black. Everything started to fade away. She felt hooves on her body, shaking her. Could that be Blue? No it wasn't her. That's not her name anymore. Applebloom tried to focus on the stallion again. He was just standing there in the same stance he was originaly in. Then a new figure came in, Who was that? The pony tackled the shock stallion. He screamed in agony from the pain. That was the last thing Appleblom heard before her vision was swarmed by darkness. * * * "Hey, squirt can you help me with this?" Asked the pegasus. "Uh, yeah sure," replied the earth pony. The pegasus had her mouth on a padlock, meant to keep out intruders for a rickshaw. The earth pony whipped his head back to pull out an arrow. In a swift motion he destroyed the lock with the arrow. He put the arrow back and adjusted his bow. In the richshaw were bits of clothing and a candy bar. "Nothing, damn," cursed the earth pony. The pegasus reached in the rickshaw to pull out the candy bar. She laid it on the ground and put her mouth on one end of the wrapper. Putting her right hoof on the other end, she ripped the wrapper to get at the pure chocolate bar. The pegasus took a bite out of the bar. so sweet. "*sniff**sigh*" "What are you doing?" Asked the earth pony. "Reviving memories," replied the pegasus. "Did you have a kid?" Asked the earth pony. "Something like that, let's say she and a couple other ponies are why I'm down here," replied the pegasus. "Well I'm sorry to ruin your moment but we gotta find the source of that scream," said the earth pony. "Right," replied the pegasus. They searched there surroundings with no success. They begin entering the downtown district of ponyville soon later. It was a ghost town for the two. Theres usually at least a good handful of the sickos here, thought the pegasus. They continued east with no signs of life, or sickos. "There's something going on, and I don't like," said the pegasus. "I agree," said the earth pony, " but we mustn't be detered of our goal here, our*clears throat* I mean your friends must be out here somewhere." "I know," started the pegasus. "but everyday I live on this world........ the thought that they will never be normal again........haunts me." "Don't put to much worry into it, theres got to be a vaccine soon. Your friends will be fi-" "Shh," hushed the pegasus, " another scream in the direction of the recreation center." "Then let's go have fun," said the earth pony. They galloped towards the location of the recreation center. The sound of thunder ran through ponyville with each hoof smacking the dirt. Then, in the distance, the recreation center was finally in sight. The two saw the gaping hole in the wall, they approached with caution. Moans filled the air, and the hole was a speaker. They peeked inside and saw the nightmare within. They were mordepified. "Dear, Celestial," began the earth pony, " mare, are you ok?" The earth pony saw the mare in the gaping hole. She was kneeling before a pile of entrails. The earth pony jumped back as a makeshift blade projected into the mare. "Oh, shit," responded the earth pony, "why'd you do that?" He motioned the question to his partner. "She was littered with bitemarks, there's nothing we can do for her anymore," replied the pegasus. "May she rest in pea-" "Oh, Celestia," screamed the pegasus. "What?" Asked the earth pony. "That pony, with the red mane I know her." "That's in the past we can't save everyone you once knew befo- HEY!" The pegasus rushed forward, weapon in mouth. She moved like a fast animal, and her slashes to the undead were like lightning. The monster fell before like wheat before the scythe as she charged for the red mane foal. The earth pony drew his bow and slammed it within the earth. He drew an arrow and slid it into the slot, pulled back, released, repeat. The pegasus reached her destination, before the fallen foal. A solid black pony was fighting an undead with a bat in her mouth. The pegasus stepped in, slamming her blade into the skull of the monster. It fell like rock as it hit the floor with a thud. "Thank you," said the black unicorn, " please you got to help us sh-" "This is what I'm here for kid," said the pegasus, "grab your bat and follow me out of here." "What about them?" The unicorn mentioned about the survivors in the center. "Us helping would cost us our lives," said the pegasus, " There's nothing left for us to do here now." The pegasus saw a leather hat on the floor, memories began firing up like wild fire. The pegasus turned back and lowered near the fallen foal. The unicorn, with a little bit of minuvering, got the foal on the back of the pegasus. The pegasus grabbed the leather hat with her mouth. They charged out through the gaping hole. Why am I moving so much. Oh yeah the pony shaking me. No, this feels different. "Hey, sugarcube wake up," demanded the pegasus. What sugarcube. "Please I know your alright talk to me!" Yelled the pegasus I don't know how to. "Please Applebloom,*sniff* I need to know your alright." She knows me I don't know her though. The pegasus dropped her mask that coved her face. She breathed in air between crying and gasping. She saw Applebloom open her eyes a bit. The pegasus gasped. "Please, you need to wake up." Applebloom looked up at the face. It was something out of a nightmare that was staring right back at her. Applebloom wanted to move, but she felt stuck. The monster's face stretched out and got closer to Applebloom. It opened its mouth revealing a loud noise that caused her vision to go black Applejack? Yeah. I'm scared, I want us to be together. Forever. hush, its all gonna be alright. As long as you keep breathing I'll keep those things away. No matter what. OK? do you promise? I promise. With all my heart I promised Big Mac and I'll promise you, you will live to see us going back to the ways things use to be. I promise *sniff*. I wish it was true.

Chapter 6The blue light from the grey filly flickered like candle light. It flickered and flickered till it went out as the filly had use the strength to control the light. It was now Applebloom and the unnamed grey filly versus the dark of the school basement. It was not the best place, since it was hoof deep in water from the raging storms, it was better than the noisy surface and that stalkish creature lurking out there. As a bonus there was a pad lock for the door that led directly outside. Applebloom always found it difficult to sleep while standing up. She gave the filly a desk that was used in the schools newspaper as a bed. That was the only furniture besides some dusty metal shelves that look worse to sleep on then standing up. However, it slowly came to her and slowly her eyes met total darkness. THUMP THUMP THUMP Applebloom woke to the sound of banging on the padlock door. The filly also woke up with sleepies in her eyes. Applebloom whipped her head into her satchel and placed her watch on the old shelves and looked at it. 2:49. "What is it," asked the filly still laying on the desk. "Shhh," replied Applebloom. She didn't know what it was either. Applebloom remembered a small window in the basement that had a view of the door. THUMP THUMP THUMP! It grew louder with each knock. Applebloom looked out the window. "Well," asked the filly. "Sshh," same reply from Applebloom. The rain had stopped and the fog withered away. It showed bad company at the door. Two infected were at the door. The first was a massive male pegasus with an unnatural brown color fur and matted black mane and tail. The second was a smaller female unicorn with a large head, pinkish fur layered in dirt and a purple mane and tail. The female raised her head and quickly THUMP THUMP THUMP smashed her head in the padlock door. The brown pegasus was knawing on the side of the door. They both knew what relied beyond the door, a meal. "Oh my," replied the filly, who now stared out in the dark now. Applebloom then walked the door with the key that was in the desk. "Um you do have a plan right?" asked the filly. "Its our only way out," replied Applebloom. "I have an idea," said the filly. Her horn glowing she motioned Applebloom to open the door. Applebloom knew what she was going to do. Applebloom quickly yanked free a metal leg from one of the old shelves. Applebloom approached the door. THUMP THUMP THUMP. She unlocked the padlock and opened the door for the shadowy figures that went down stairs.
Chapter 8"A scream you sa?" asked Applebloom. "That's exactly what I heard at least what I think," said the young filly. "You think?" replied Applebloom. The night was as silent as it ever was. The two fillies have searched for this actual or imaginary life for about close to half an hour. Applebloom got her watch out from her satchel and looked at it. 3:03. They were between the popular Pony Ville spa and across the street was the Pony Ville barber. The spa was robbed of all useful items and equipment and was left to roast as a fire shortly burned it down. The barber shop was actually never touched beside the chip painted sign and weird graffiti sign on front of the building that said "shhh, the fish sleep near." All was quiet like the town ( actually is) a ghost town. Applejack honestly didn't know what she was doing. Her objective was to secure the potion that Twilight left here and now Applebloom seemed stuck on what to do with now searching for any life in this silent town. Then the unexpected happened. Something broke the silence, it was a scream. "Thats what I heard," replied the small filly. Another sream roared into the night.The scream was high pitched and scratchy. It lasted for about two seconds. Though, despite the short time it was definetly a mare's scream. The filly ran in to the direction of where the scream was produced. Applebloom quickly yanked the filly back by biting her tail. "Ow," responded the filly. "Sorry," said Applebloom, "but we're not going." "Why?" replied the filly. "We don't know why there screaming or if we can trust these strangers." "But its a way to find more life Applebloom." Its true that Applebloom was eager to see more life, any in her case, but would it be worth putting there lives in risk? "Applebloom," said the filly, " could we, it may help in the future?" "How?" asked Applebloom. "Its how I met my friends, we found each other cause I helped them when they needed it." Applebloom thought on this. "Please?" asked the filly. "Fine," responded Applebloom, " but, you need to listen to every word I say ok, I don't want you to be put in unneeded danger, OK." "Crystal."
