What is everypony's darkest fear?

Everypony thought it was finally over…oh no it was far from over. After the main six turned Discord into stone once more they did not noticed that far in the shadows was me and my younger sister Screwball. Screwball was sobbing quietly on in my arms as I look at them with hate and revenge. “Why did they turn Daddy into stone again, Misery? We didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.” I look at my sister as she continues crying. I look up at the six celebrating and softly whispers, “No…we didn’t get to say goodbye to Dad. But I know who will be saying goodbye soon.” I lowered myself so Screwball can climb on. I open my wings and fly off to the Ever free Forest.

Twilight and her friends where jumping happily as Ponyville turned back to normal, nopony was harmed except for a few scratches and bruises. “Twi we did it!!! Thanks to you and not giving up on Ponyville.” Applejack hugged Twilight Sparkle and laughed.  Rarity and Rainbow Dash smiled and laughed alongside them. Fluttershy looked at them and smiled shyly, “hey guys…I have to check on the animals back at home. Let’s meet up at Sugercube Corner in an hour okay?” Everypony smiled and nodded and went off their separate ways. But Pinkie however just couldn’t shake off an eerie feeling. Her tail was slightly twitching and her ear flopped a tad bit. “Pinkie aren’t you going home?” Twilight said looking back at the pink pony. “Yes I just have to check something out first, I have to get ingredients for cupcakes.”

She galloped over to the Ever free forest and ran all the way to Zecora’s home. “Zecora I need your help!” The zebra turned around to see the pink pony sweating and panting. “Pinkie Pie! Come sit before of exhaustion you die.”  Pinkie sat down and caught her breath, as Zecora gave her a glass of water. “Now tell me, What is bothering thee?” Pinkie gulped down the water and took a deep breath. “I keep on having a weird feeling that Something bad will happen but I just can’t put a hoof on it”  Zecora looked Confused and a bit worried at the same time.  “like what?” the pink pony shook her head and looked down “like something evil is coming. Is there any think in the forest that is more evil than Discord or Queen Crystalist? Whatever is coming is more powerful than both of them combined.” The zebra looked up in thought and opened her eyes, “the only thing that is more powerful than those two, is long gone and it had nothing to do with you.” Pinkie looked curious, “who or what are you talking about?” Zecora walked over to a bookshelf and pulled out a large dusty book with a red eye on the cover. It was titled “Dark Creatures of Ever Free forest” she opened it and turned to a picture of a large pony resembling a Friesian horse but with large black wings and dragon claws. The pony’s body looked torn and scarred with a black bundle of smoke surrounding her talons.

Pinkie looked into the book at began reading, “the daughter of Discord? Raised by the Changelings?” what is she?”  Zecora put the book up in a box for pinkie to read later. “she is a Dark Creature similar to a draconalist but far more deadly.  She’s a Shifter she can turn into any pony or creature she desires. But what makes her more deadly than her father is that she can go into the hearts of anypony and bring their darkest fears to life.” Pinkie looked scared for she never heard Zecora  talk without a rhyme. “pinkie, promise me that you will not persue this pony.” Pinkie raised her roof and promised as she left the zebra’s house and went home.”

Back at home all Pinkie could think about was Misery. And what Zecora told her. She decided to make some cupcakes like she said she would. It did take her mind off of everything when she made cupcakes and didn’t even hear Twilight come inside. “pinkie pie those cupcakes look delicious, what flavor are they?” Pinkie looked up and blurted out “Misery---Oh I mean…Strawberry.” The lavender pony looked up at pinkie worried, “are you ok?” Pinkie smiled and jumped around the room, “yes I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong. “ that’s when the others came in. “howdy twilight, hi pinkie. What cha making?” the orange pony smiled her freckles shining over her cheeks. Pinkie handed everyone a cupcake and smiled, “strawberry cupcakes just came out of the oven” Everypony took a bite and smiled as the sweet fluffy cake slid down their throats.  Rarity widened her eyes and squealed “Darling I must say these are your best cupcakes yet!” “the others nodded in agreement. Pinkie smiled and sighed in relief. “hey guys I’m off to sleep for now. It’s been a long day and besides we have to meet with the Princess tomorrow I want to be well rested.” Pinkie walked upstairs to her room and watched out the window as the others left home.

She closed her eyes as she drifted to sleep. Though it wouldn’t be long till Misery popped into her head. My claws scratch in her brain as I slowly crawled in her mind. There pinkie was asleep having a dream about making cupcakes and having a party, I decided to play a prank on her. I made her dream world dark and gloomy; all the ponies stopped moving and turned grey. The smiles on their faces turn into scolds and fowl looks as I passed them. Pinkie looks up scared and confused, “what’s going on? What’s wrong with Everypony?”

“What’s wrong pinkie? I thought you liked meeting new ponies?”

I opened my wings and landed in front of her. The pink pony fell on her flank and tears began to flow from her eyes “misery!!!” I smiled showing my fangs and leaned toward her.  “How nice somepony who knows who I am…let me guess the zebra Zecora told you about me.”  She nodded and crawled away, “yes and she gave me a book on how to defeat you!” I burst of laughter escaped my lips I then forced her down w my claw as my talons dug in her head. The pink pony screamed in pain as they dug deeper, “you can defeat me! That pathetic zebra couldn’t kill me the first time we’ve met. What makes you think you can beat me?” pinkie cowered under my claws, “I have the elements on my side! Me and the girls will join together and beat you.”  With one swipe I took out her eye the liquid from her now nonexistent eye flowed over my claws. The pink pony screamed in agony as she tried to wiggle her way out of my grasp. I leaned over her ear and smiled, “now let’s see what makes you tick, let’s go into your heart.” Pinkie screamed as loud as her lungs could let her “NO!”

The pink pony woke up covered in sweat, her fur felt heavy as the cool air ran over her skin. She quickly ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror and saw her eye was still there but there was 4 claw marks in her fur. She went into her bed and tried to sleep but my voice echoed in her head. She just laid there waiting for the sun to rise.
