A meeting in the Dreamscape

'Run' my thoughts scream,  I can barely breathe but I keep running.  Branches snap under my hooves while thorns scrape over my skin... blood begins to wash away the mud when  I find a lake, I collapse at the bank and drink the crisp, cold liquid until my dry palate is sated... but it never happens, the more I drink the more thirsty I feel.

"Why?" I whimper.

My voice sounds like I'm eight again, and that's when I realize I've been here before... my heart beats like a Gatling gun when the silence is broken and I hear the branches snap further behind me along with the howls of search dogs the glow  of torches give away their positions.

"Where is it?" a voice shouts

"Just follow the dogs." another voice replies.

Without thinking I hold my breath and dive into the pond... the pond is deeper than I thought as I  sink into the grass as if there's an anchor strapped to my neck. Suddenly an orange glow looms over the riverbank and a dark figure looks into the water.

'They heard me' I think to myself as my lungs begin to shrink and involuntary gasps fill my throat but I try to keep my mouth shut.   The figure looks back... after a few seconds, three more arrive,  my heart beats faster and my limbs begin to twitch then one of the figure's eyes emit a  green glow and he jumps into the water!  I roll on my stomach and try to crawl to the other side of the lake but the grass begins to contort and ensnare my legs and throat pulling me back to the shore, turning me to face the pursuer.  When the figure grabs me I feel a  sharp pain in my stomach, a purple aura pries my mouth open and the entire lake begins to swirl down my gullet the magical aura of its owner turns brighter to show  Twilight Sparkle,  but instead of purple eyes she dons blood red slitted eyes with a purple mist surrounding the corners of them then she grins to show serrated teeth.

"What will  you do now when you've finally met your death?" she giggles

Her horn glows brighter, then my flesh begins to strip away when she opens her mouth and snaps her teeth down onto my neck and the moon emits a bright flash forcing me to close my eyes.

"ENOUGH OF THIS MADNESS!!!" a new voice shouts.

I open my eyes and find myself at my normal age, no skin has been ripped away,  but I'm still in the forest  standing in the middle of a grove... a mare clears her throat behind me and as I turn around, standing before me is Princess Luna.

"Now then-" she begins pointing to a chair "-lets talk about your current... situation."
