“Hello darling! What are you doing here?” Rarity trotted towards Twilight.

The lavender mare was about to answer when the white unicorn interrupted her

“Oh this place is dreadful. Say dear, how did you get here?” She said waving her right hoof as if showing the place to her friend.

“Well, first I was stuck in my house, the doors and windows didn’t open, even my magic couldn’t open them or teleport me elsewhere, but then a hole appeared in my bathroom and I entered it and, well… here I am” She finished looking to her sides as if something was watching her.

An unusual silence took place between both unicorns; Rarity was seemingly drifting off in her own thoughts until Twilight decided to ask her friend.

“Well how did you get here Rarity?”

The unicorn suddenly snapped back to reality.

“Oh yes, I just woke up here, not too long ago. You know something dear? I think this is all a dream.”

“You mean… like a spell to unite two or more pony minds into a single dream? But we would need to be together in a same room at least to do something like that and somepony need to control the spell to stay awake.” Twilight said frowning her eyebrows.

“Well anyways, dream or not I think we must find a way out of here don’t you think?”

“Yes, you’re right”

“This corridor looks endless but is the only way we got to head to” Rarity seemed a little frustrated.

“Ok, let’s go”

With that, Twilight got the pipe back with her magic and created a magical storage to stock it. Rarity noticed her friend, but she felt that it wasn’t necessary to ask her why she was carrying that along.

They trotted slowly through the corridor and after a few meters; they passed in front of a bathroom. Rarity felt an awkward feeling inside her stomach. The unicorn placed one of her hooves in her mouth before heading to bathroom in a hurry. Twilight was going to ask what had happened when she just heard Rarity saying.

“Wait, I think I gonna throw up”

Twilight was going to say something but she didn’t. Rarity was already inside the toilet, the door hung open until it closed by itself. The lavender unicorn sat next to the opposite wall of the door and lowered her head.

(If you fell like doing it, hear this while reading the next part)

After some minutes the door opened slowly. Twilight got up and trotted expecting to meet her friend, but when the door was half open an unknown creature flew through the door like a rag doll, hitting the floor with a loud thud. The mare hastily stepped back and watched the thrown being with terror in her eyes; it was a green coated pony with patches of a darker tone covering some spots on its body, it had no eyes and ears and his tongue was like that of a snake, hanging out of his mouth and resting on the floor.

The door was now completely open when two of the same creature darted out of the bathroom and came close to their similar. The monsters used their tongues to pierce the flesh of the probably dead one, since it has not screamed in pain or even moved, and a sucking noise could be heard. Twilight quickly noticed that their tongues worked like a straw, feeding themselves with the blood of the corpse that laid on the floor.

She didn’t dare to move, but since they don’t have ears or eyes, their only sense of direction was to feel the smell of anything that would be of their interest.

Twilight decided to pick up her pipe. She removed it from her magical storage and continued to levitate it; after all, using her mouth to swing the pipe would be much less effective.

But a thought crossed her mind. She didn’t want to kill any living beings, it was wrong, but she felt that it would be necessary if they were hostile, and they really looked like hostile creatures. Her mind was back to the reality when she became aware that the noise of the monsters feeding had ceased. She faced the creatures and observed that they were slowly heading towards her.

She felt tension building up in her chest. Twilight was surrounded by the creatures. The only possible way was to go straight to the bathroom, but even doing this, she could be caught in the middle of her action.

One of the creatures was taking faster steps than the other; the closer one stood in a jumping position as it was preparing itself to charge at Twilight’s body. She noticed its action with the corner of her eye and swung the pipe by instinct, hitting the monster in its head. At this moment, she ran straight to the door before the other one jumped at her, hitting the wall. As the injured one was recovering from the impact, Twilight hit it again, but this time with much more strength making a cracking sound.

The body of the abomination crumbled to the floor, lifeless.

Twilight stared at the former beast and was terrorized by her act, when she was tackled down by the other monster that had now regained its bearings, after the strong impact with the stone wall. It managed to bite down her neck. She now realized that it had large and sharp rows of teeth.

The pain was strong, but she managed to escape from its grasp by striking it with her hoof in its neck several times. She rolled to the side and stood up again; grabbing the pipe and striking it down one single time to the monster’s neck, making it growl in pain and fall to the ground, ceasing to breathe.

The unicorn sat on the cold floor and panted heavily, exhausted due to the end of adrenaline flowing through her veins.

She pressed a hoof to her neck and felt the blood on it. The bite wasn’t too deep in her flesh, allowing her to stay calm as the blood started to coagulate on her wound making its flow decrease.

The pipe was placed back inside the magical storage and at the same moment, her breathing started to normalize again. Her thoughts were getting together once more as she remembered an important fact.

“Oh my, Rarity!” Twilight ran to the bathroom and quickly darted inside; scanning every corner of it, but there was no one inside.

“Rarity? Where are you?” She called out loud. “Where is she? I saw her entering here, am I going crazy or something?” She was drifting inside her own monologues again when she saw a strange hole on the bathroom wall, similar to the one in her house, but it was reasonably bigger and had a strange red drawing pattern around it. The drawing had a crimson color with an eye at the top and a strange scribbling all around the whole perimeter of it.

“Maybe it will lead me to my home?” She wondered.

With an enormous curiosity building inside her mind, she thought, ‘Maybe Rarity entered here. I need to find her.’

Twilight entered the hole noticing that it was going downwards, making her slide through it.

At some point she felt like the hole had ended. She closed her eyes and felt like her body was suspended in air, her mind, floating on a dark void.

When her senses began to return, she opened her eyes to see the welcoming sunlight, warming her coat.

“What had happened?” Twilight was in her bed, her eyes adjusting to light that was pouring in the room. “Was it… a dream?” she mumbled.

Getting up was a little hard for her due to the pain in her neck, wait…pain in the neck? ‘So it wasn’t a dream after all. But I don’t understand this’ Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone knocking at the front door.

‘What? What is t… ah forget it.’ She tried not to think about it, maybe it was all really a dream but her wound was very real. She put these thoughts aside and went down the stairs to see what she already expected; the door was still chained up.

“Who is there?” She called, but there was no response from the other side.

The knocks repeated and Twilight spoke again.

“Who’s there? Answer me…” Still no reply, the unicorn started to get mad.

She was about to scream but she heard a soft voice coming from outside.

“Oh Angel I think she’s not here now, maybe we could come back later.”

“Fluttershy?” She trotted to the window aside the door and looked outside noticing the yellow pegasus and her pet. “Hey Fluttershy can’t you hear me?” She tried one more time.

She didn’t respond. Twilight started hitting the window trying to get her friends’ attention. Fluttershy’s ears stood straight up due to the strange sound that she heard.

“It’s not good to look through the window of other pony’s houses but I think there is no problem. After all she is my friend right Angel?” The pegasus tried to get some encouragement from her pet to succumb to her curiosity, but Angel didn’t even pay attention to her. She sighed and trotted to the window to give a peek inside her friend’s house.

She tried to find something inside but the house seemed empty.

“Fluttershy help me, please help me!” Strangely, Twilight noticed that Fluttershy wasn’t looking at her directly. “Come on can’t you hear me Fluttershy?”

The pegasus stared awkwardly at the emptiness of the house.

“Strange. Where is this sound coming from? Looks like something is hitting the window, I don’t know… Maybe it’s my imagination. I think I need to eat something, let’s go Angel dear, we can come back later.” She turned and trotted away from Twilight’s home, Angel snorted loudly and followed the pegasus.

“What? Hey Fluttershy what is happening? Help me! I’m stuck in here!” The unicorn almost cried in desperation. “Why? Just… why?” She hit her hoof strongly at the wooden floor.

“I need to do something, anything. I need to know why this is happening, but where will I get if I go down that hole again? Will I even find any answer inside that abandoned mine cave?” She spoke while glancing at the hole in her bathroom.

“There’s just one way to find out” Twilight trotted to the bathroom and entered the hole, it was now oddly moving downwards too, like the one she entered earlier, making the gravity drift her body down without any move from her.
