My Little Corpse Party
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Nnnggg" Twilight Sparkle slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was darting and dancing before her. All around her, was darkness.
"Oww ..." Twilight lifted a hoof and touched her hoof against her head, and winced.
Wha ... What happened? Oh .... Right. Where am I? The puzzled unicorn looked around at her surroundings. Worn down chairs and desks were laid messily on the floor, and it looked as if it hadn't been used in years.
What is this place? Twilight got up uncertainly, and pain stabbed through her hind leg. She let out a gasp as she stumbled down to the floor again. She flattened her ears against her head, and with great effort, she stood up.
She didn't recognize her surroundings at all. Glancing out a broken window nearby, she could barely tell whether it was painted on, or just really .... dark outside.
Well, I don't know what I'm doing here but I have to get out of here Twilight thought as she staggered across the old, creaking wood below her hooves. She limped around the broken chairs, and slight fear started to grow inside her chest.
Now that I think about it ... It almost looks like a class room Twilight thought uncertainly, as she glanced over to a dusty chalk board towards the right end of the class.
'That would explain the chairs and desks. But I don't understand! I don't recall an abandoned school in Ponyville, or anywhere, really. The best thing I could do right now is try to get the hell out of here'
Twilight staggered out of the class room, and the fear within her chest grew as she carefully examined the hallways. Debris, loose papers, and trash littered the hallways. The floorboards looked as if they were going to give any second, and the walls were dirty and dark. No lights were found, whatsoever.
Twilight gulped and limped down the hallway. It gave off a creepy aura, as if she was being watched. She tried her best to stay focused and calm.
Toward the end of the hallway, a bright, well, not so bright here, but a pink color came into view. It was Pinkie Pie. She was leaning against the end of the hallway against the wall, and her eyes were shut as if she were sleeping.
'Pinkie Pie!' Twilight gasped. With all her effort, she attempted to run towards her pink party friend.
"Pinkie Pie! Pinkie Pie, it's me, Twilight!"
Pinkie stirred slightly. Twilight rushed over and knelt before the earth pony.
"Pinkie Pie! Wake up!" Twilight nudged Pinkie with her hoof.
"Ugh. Is it breakfast already?" Pinkie wiped her eyes with a hoof and wearily blinked her eyes open.
"Uhh Twilight?" Pinkie said, confused.
"Yes I'm here. Pinkie, are you okay?" Twilight asked, helping Pinkie up.
"Yeah I'm great but ... Where is everypony?" Pinkie looked around, puzzled. Her eyes widened.
"And where are we!?" She exclaimed a little nervously.
Twilight shook her head.
"I'm not sure where we are. I'm just glad I found you. Come on, we need to get out of here, and find the others"
Pinkie nodded.
"We better hurry. This place is SPOOOOKY" Pinkie mentioned, with her blue eyes widened. Twilight turned to look at the end of the hall. Two worn down doors were at the end of the hall.
"Come on. Let's see what's on the other side of those doors. I just ... I want to get out of here as soon as possible" Twilight said stressingly. Pinkie nodded in agreement, and skipped behind Twilight, taking the lead down to the doors.
"Hey Twily, are you alright? that leg looks like an owie. Did ya sprain it or something?" Pinkie asked, eyeing Twilights leg carefully. Twilight sighed.
"Yeah, I must've landed on it wrong as I fell" Twilight winced as she attempted to put her hoof down.
Pinkie cocked her head.
"here well I can help you!" She said happily, standing near Twilight so she can lean onto her. Twilight gave a small smile.
"Thank you, Pinkie"
"Don't mention it~" Pinkie chirped.
The two mares made their way to the end of the hall carefully, and in silence, avoiding debris along the way. Upon reaching the two doors, Twilight stood up right, and eyed the door. She tilted her head, and fear grew in her chest. Pinkie just watched Twilight intensely.
"Well ... I'm a little nervous to see whats behind these doors, but, here I go" Twilight said uncertainly as she focused on her horn. Her heart stopped as her magic didn't seem to work, or reach the door.
"Huh ... That's strange" Twilight said slowly.
"What's wrong Twilight? Isn't this basic magic? Oh! Or maybe the school we are in is SO mystical and SO old that magic doesn't even work here!" Pinkie gasped.
"Ohmygosh! WERE NOT EVEN IN EQUESTRIA" Pinkie pretended to faint, and collapsed to the floor. Dust rose to the air upon her collision.
"Pinkie! What are you talking about? Of course we're in Equestria ..." Twilight said uncertainly.
'But .... But what if she's right? Pinkie was barely wrong before ... I have to try my magic once more' Twilight refocused on the door. Twisting her face in concentration, what she planned to do, was open the door, and bring three of the loose floor boards inside the open doors.
Nothing moved. Everything stayed in place.
Twilight gasped.
"But ... But I don't understand! Pinkie how-"
Pinkie shrugged.
"Just a hunch. I bet those doors won't even open without your magic" Pinkie suggested. Twilight swallowed nervously and limped to the door. Squeezing her eyes shut, she placed a hoof on the door, and with small effort, she pushed.
With her eyes squeezed so tightly, the door barely budged. In fact, it didn't even move at all. Twilight's eyes opened, and she looked at the door. She pushed again, but harder. It didn't move.
"what" she exclaimed, pushing harder on the door. It didn't move at all, it didn't look as if she was pressing onto it in the first place. It looked real, but it could've been ... Decoration?
Twilight shook her head in surprise and back up.
"I-I don't understand! How is this ... How is this even possible .." Twilight's voice trailed off, and she looked at the floor in defeat.
"Awh Twilight. Cheer up, we'll find a way back to Equestria, and we'll find our friends. We just have to keep our spirits high. Come on! Where should we look first?" Pinkie leaped up, and bounced down one of the dark, loomy hallways away from the doors. Twilight limped sadly behind the cheerful pony.
"Wow! These doors won't open!" Pinkie exclaimed, pressing on each door they passed.
Twilight's fear was growing each second. Something didn't seem right anymore. Almost as if they were being followed.
"Hey, uh, Pinkie, maybe we should slow down a bit" Twilight called nervously to the bouncing pony. Pinkie didn't seem to hear her, she continued to giggle and bounce ahead.
"La la la la laaa~" Pinkie chirped.
"Pinkie Pie!" Twilight called louder. Pinkie continued to move ahead, she didn't even glance at Twilight. In fact, it almost seemed as if Pinkie was bouncing faster, faster away from Twilight, skipping down the corridor.
"PINKIE PIE!" Twilight cried, she stopped, and waited for Pinkie Pie to respond. But Pinkie Pie only continued to sing and jump further, and further away, soon leaving Twilight alone. At the end of the hall, Pinkie paused. She looked at Twilight, giggled and poked her tongue out.
"Pinkie Pie! This isn't funny! Come back here!" Twilight yelled down the hall.
Pinkie didn't respond. She just winked, and turned the corner.
As soon as Pinkie Pie disappeared, a dull ringing rang in Twilight's ears.
"Augh!" She gasped, and fell, covering her ears with her hooves. The ringing intensified, and seemed to take over her whole body.
Wha- What's going on!? She could barely hear her own thoughts above the high ringing in her head. She squeezed her eyes shut, and the ringing stopped. Twillight's heart was pounding loudly and rapidly. Pinkie's giggling seemed to come from all directions.
"Pinkie ..." Twilight moaned. The giggling echoed off the walls of her head, and consumed her.
"PINKIE!"
"What's wrong, you silly filly?" Pinkie's familiar voice asked out in concern.
Twilight opened her eyes to be greeted with Pinkie's blue ones.
"Pinkie Pie? What ..." Twilight's voice trailed off.
"What happened? I dunno! We were trotting together and all of a sudden you just stopped and fell to the ground and rocked back and forth. You really had me worried there! You were laughing to yourself. It was weird!" Pinkie shrugged.
"Oh well. You're fine now. Come on!" Pinkie stood up and helped Twilight up.
But ... I .... Was I really? Oh well ... I guess I'll let it slide
