It's dark, cold, and lonely... though I don't feel alone. I feel as if eyes are staring at me, waiting, waiting for the right time to jump out and corner me. I have collected what I have came for, never again will I come back to this run down castle. The shadows around me seemed to be getting darker and darker closing in on me. The temptation of screaming and running was unbearable, but I knew that would attract more attention to myself.
Everything also seemed to be getting quiet. The sound my saddle bag would make every time I move was now complete silence. The light wind the blew was now silent but could still be felt. The sound of the leaves that rustled in the wind was entirely silent yet they were still moving. Even my own steps wouldn't make a sound. The only thing that I can hear is an eerie, anonymous whispering. None of the words could be made out, it didn't seem like they were trying to say anything, There was just whispering.
Finally I couldn't stand the silence. I left the ruins glad that I was able to hear things again. As I exit I hear growl. It was loud and seemed to echo around me. I turn around and saw darkness, I look up and see two piercing red eyes burning like fire. I saw myself in them, but not a reflection. I saw myself dead and being eaten until I was nothing but bones. Then my skeleton turning to ash and falling into a pile. Fear struck my like a dagger. I could here screaming, not my screaming, Many screams as if the wolf's victims were still screaming. It echoed in by ears. The wolves eyes became solid black.
I was about to scream but the wolf's jaw snapped around my neck. Everything was slow motion. When I felt the blood go down my neck I could see skeletons coming alive, armor and spears. A maniac face surrounded by darkness laughed insanely. His eyes were coal black and full of anger and hatred. "The world is in my grasp, I will be the king. Of all Equestria, the king of the entire world!" I could see ponies burning in fire leaving white bone with swords or spears and wearing armor. "Darkness will shroud the light. And everything will die beneath. The sky will be pure black, no sun nor moon! Yet this world will burn!" the voice was like two twins saying the same thing with a half second delay.
I feet my neck being crushed. I am being pulled back to the real world. I am being swung around I feel the teeth slicing my neck. I see things fly past as I am thrown at a pillar. I can feel my legs break. I can't scream, I can only just feel. I gasped trying to breathe. The black wolf is standing right over me. Blood dripping from its mouth. Then, in the back was a light, it was calming but I am still scared. The wolf ran and the light is in full view. I see my parents crying over a stone grave. I see them holding each other hurt and sad. This all happened because I went out here. If only I had stayed home. I can feel a single tear go down my cold body before I...
Flower Bed and Blue Stream
---Flower Bed
Oh it is a perfect day, I had just gotten a promotion and I am about to get home to my little girl. I can't but smile so I can tell her the news. I open the door, as soon as I step in, I knew something is wrong. Everything looks the same, smells the same, sounds the same, it just doesn't feel the same. It feels empty and abandoned. Worry began to grow inside of me. I step out into the garden, everything except for one thing. Where is my little girl.
I panic, I search the house everywhere. "Lily! Lily come out." I look out the window and see something by the Everfree Forest. I run out the door and see a book, one of my daughters books. My heart seems as if it stopped. My head slowly looks into the Everfree Forest. I see a large black wolf grinning psychotically. Fear strikes me. It wasn't going after me, it was going after my daughter. I turn around and see Blue Stream arriving at the house. I run as fast as I can.
"Flower Bed? What's wrong," he says.
"Lily, she's in the Everfree Forest." I see all the color drain from his face.
"We need a search team to go out and find her. I will go to the mayor."
My husband has talked with the mayor, he said that she would send a search team in a few hours. I sit in a chair out in the garden. Everything seems dark and grey, no life in anything. I watch the Everfree Forest hoping to see my daughter to come out come out and run home. But no such thing happens with in the several hours before the search team got here. I see them enter the Forest. I sit at the chair, only moving when my needs need to be met. Then I would come back out here and watch the forest.
A few days go by, the search team comes out of the forest. I see them holding something. A spark of hope ignites inside of me. I walk towards the guards. "Did you find my daughter."
"No, I am sorry Flower Bed. We did find this though." They held a saddle bag that was torn and dirty. I grab the bag and hold it close to my chest. "There was blood where we found it, too much for anypony to still live through." I walk into the house, I tell Blue Stream about what happened and I go to bed. I can not bare being awake knowing what has happened to her. I just need rest. My eyes close and I fall asleep.
