Escaping

"Shh... she might hear you." She said. Then she slid a knife from her black cloak with her horn. She looked at her partner and nodded silently.

She slowly crept into the bedroom, knife raised. The princess, was sleeping. She trotted over to her bedside quietly, and stabbed her neck. When she was about to rip her knife out of her neck and continue on her head, she heard shuffling outside and some clanks against metal. She left the knife in Celestia's neck, while the blood ran free.

She peeked outside the bedroom and saw a guard staring right at her. He squinted. "Who are you..." He said. Then noticed the princess, stabbed.

His eye's widened and then quickly looked at her. "Identify yourself mare!!" He said raising his spear. Behind him, she saw her comrade slowly getting up. She picked up her knife with her mouth and raised her head, ready to stab.

She smiled. "You wanna know who I am?" She asked. The guard's eyes squinted, spear ready to stab through her heart, though her voice was surprisingly familiar.

She took off her hood and looked into the guards eyes as he was stabbed on his flank. "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle." she said brightly. Then she raised her hoof, and beat the guard to death.
