The Night She Fled

So onward the two walked in silence. No questions, no answers, no problems. The only thing running through their minds were separate thought of might be happening. Both actually keeping it to themselves however. Neither wanting to share their thoughts. However a new thought was brought to the mix. Where did Luna reside? Starlight wandered this out of the blue but it was a good question. If not the castle in Canterlot, or the moon..., then where? It was finally she realized the surroundings. She was led into the Everfree Forest. But why? Starlight never saw anyone besides Zecora or Fluttershy come inside. And only Fluttershy on rare occasions. This was strange...

But that was more strange. Was she being followed? She caught a glimmer of something pass behind a tree. Even in this place she was still being watched?! Are you serious! Great. Just grand. Starlight decided better than to get Luna's attention however. She never was a trusting pony, and probably wouldn't even believe Starlight anyways.

"Wait..." Oh so she caught it to? Luna scanned around the tree looking for the pony in question. Nothing moved... "Could it be?" Could what be? She swore Luna heard that thought. "The pony seems to be following us..." Totally a mind reader. Knew it! The victory didn't last long.

"So you finally found me out hmm?" The strange voice called out.

"Why must thou follow us?"

"Simply put, you have something, or someone, valuable in tow."

Luna looked at Starlight. "What do they mean?"

"As if I know!"

"You two will have plenty of time once you're tied up." The voice croaked. This pony sure should know something, maybe he'll talk...

"How about you tell me why I'm so important?" Inquired Starlight. "I don't even know why you'd want me."

"Oh it's not him that wants you." Called out another shadow. Great, more. "You're eyes are what we're after."

"My eyes? What for?" Cried out Starlight. She still couldn't figure it all out... That was a shame. More blood would be spilled this night. How many until we have the final outcome. First her, now Starlight. And Starlight didn't even come close. Fate must have other plans. Out from the shadows glowed several lights that closed in on Starlight. When she looked to Luna for help... Luna vanished. More smoke... When can I see the magician behind it all? The thought was her last. Snap! Several bolts of lightning shot out from the lights. No one would even recognize the pony lying now dead. The only indication would be her pearl eyes...

Pearl eyes...

And once again we come to the fact. Our heroine will have to move fast to figure it all out. Whether they make it... Is another thing. Somehow, these eyes are the key. They carry weight. They shine bright hope when it is lost. They find the strength when broken. The are, in all sense, the one indication of a true destined heroine. Where she is next would be the better question wouldn't it be? Time to find her. Fate will have it's way. No matter what opposes. And this will be one fight, that all will remember.
