Previous ChapterNext Chapter*Twilight's P.O.V*
We followed Shadow into the cells, when they reached the cells, my eyes widened in fear & shocked, there 3 floors of cells. when walked by each cell, I couldn't help, but look into the cell, each cell was the same, ponies, pegasi, & unicorns alike, hiding in the back, cowering in fear. I don't realize Shadow had stop until I ran into him. He turned around, glared at me, & said, as he was opening the cell door, "This is where you are going to be staying, have fun being with your broken friends."
As I was walking in, I said, "What do you mean broken?" He just chuckled, slammed the door shut
Then we heard a voice say, "Spike, Twilight, is that you?
We turned around to see Sunset, slowly, walking to them, I walked up to Sunset & giving her a hug, then said, "I got your message, are you hurt & where are the others?"
Sunset said, with a confused look her face, "Hold on, what message, I didn't send you a message. Madness must have sent it, in order to make you come here. Come, let me show how our friends are holding up."
I followed Sunset to our friend, Rainbow Dash & Applejack were the only one standing. When Pinkie Pie saw me, her hair poofed back up, but didn't even try to stand. Rainbow Dash said, "Hey Twilight, Spike, it so good to see you. You weren't kidding about being a dragon, Spike. We love to come see you, but Madness put a spell on a legs, so that we can't move. Only Applejack & I are able to stand. Sunset can move, but slowly.
Then I heard somepony coming, I turned to the the gate. A pony, wearing a dark green hat & a pure white coat with a name tag that read Feeder, was standing there, holding a large tray that had 8 pieces of bread, & 8 apples. He placed the tray down, looked both ways, then reached into the coat's pocket & pulled out a book. He placed the book on the tray & slid it under the door, then he said, in a whispery voice, "An apple & a piece of bread for each. I'll come back for the tray & the book, when I bring the water. The book has a spell, that should relieve the pain."
As he started to leave, I asked him, " Why did you bring me this book?"
He turned around & said, "I don't like seeing anyone in pain. Oh, in case you were wondering why I am working here, I Have no choice."
A few minutes after Feeder left, 2 guard dragging a pony between them. The pony wasn't even moving, but I could tell the pony was still alive. The guards walked up to the door, & said, before opening the door, "Get to the back wall." I moved closer to my friends, then they threw the pony into the cell.
The pony got up turned to the gate, & yelled at the guards, "Hey, I want my shades, If you don't bring them to me, I swear, when I get out, you will be sorry."
Spike walked up to the pony & said, "Hi, my name is Spike. What's your name?
The pony turn around, then Spike took a few steps. Her left eye was missing, & her right eye was deep ocean blue, but the glare she did scared me the most. She said, as she turned her whole body around, "What does it matter to you?"
I walked in front of Spike, to get her attention, & said, "He was just asking your name. Anyway, I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, & Sunset Shimmer."
Then a loud buzzer went off, I turned around to see Fluttershy squeezing her eyes shut, & covering her ears & Pinkie Pie's hair fall back down. I turned to the bars, then I saw guards going into random cells, & pulling out one or two ponies. The guards dragged the ponies the rust covered double doors. One pony was dragged by my cell, he looked at me, through teary eyes, & said, "Help me, please." All I could do was watch as the pony was dragged through the doors. Then the buzzer went off again.
I turned to my friends, Fluttershy opened her eyes, uncovered her ears, & said, on the verge of tears, as she looked at me,"Is it over?"
The pony walked up to Fluttershy, laid down next to her & scooted her closer, then said, in a soothing voice, "Don't worry, it's over, This one was the last. Tomorrow, I will shut this factory down."
As she was calming Fluttershy down, I got a good look at her. She had rust red skin, messy brown hair & her cutie mark was of 3 gears. I said, "What was that?"
Applejack said, bowing her head down a little, "The guards call it the purge. Every day they take a bunch of ponies, drag them through the doors, & aren't heard from again. So you might want to do the spell, Feeder might be coming back with the water.
I opened the book, found the spell & preformed it. Rainbow Dash was the first one to try walking. then the rest got up & started walking. The pony got up & said, "After seeing your reaction to this purge. I decided to trust you. Sorry for my outbreak earlier, my name is Ivy Winds, but you may call me Ivy."
Then a guard walked up to the bars & said, "Twilight, Madness wants to speak to you."
I said to my friends, before following the guard, "Just eat up, & Ivy, just have my food." Then I followed the guard towards Madness.
