Equestria Girls HATRED Special

Twilight, the Humane Five, and the Crusaders had been following Spike as he tried his best not to lose Sunset’s scent. It eventually led them to an area between a frozen lake and a dark forest.

“You sure you know where you’re going?” Rainbow Dash asked the little dog.

“Sunset’s scent is here and I can also sense traces of magic in the air, I’m sure of it.” Spike answered confidently as he sniffed the ground and the atmosphere. Spike took a whiff of the air and instinctively took a few steps back. Twilight looked at her number one assistant; he had a strange look of fear on his face.

“What is it, Spike?” Twilight asked.

“I’ve picked up another scent and it’s with Sunset’s. It doesn’t smell right.”

“You mean like a stinky smell?” Pinkie asked holding her nose.

“No, it’s a kind of smell that gives you a bad feeling.”

“What do you mean? What does it feel like?” asked a confused Applejack.

“It feels like… like… evil!”

This sent a chill up all the girls’ spines. It was bad enough that their friend was missing but now there was something evil out there somewhere in the darkness of the night.

“What are you talking about… evil?” Fluttershy asked obviously frightened.

“I think you’re just overreacting. The cold air is getting to your nose.” Rainbow Dash denied the dog’s claim, although she didn’t look so sure herself.

“No, I know what I smell, and it smells like pure evil!” Spike sternly confirmed. The more he insisted, the more scared the girls became.

“What do you make of this, Twilight?” Rarity asked hoping her friend could shed some light on this dark situation.

“Well, while Sunset was writing to me about what she was going through, she suspected that windigos were causing all the chaos at the school.” Twilight answered.

“Could it be possible that any of these windigo creatures could’ve somehow come to this world?” Pinkie wondered.

“I’ve encountered some pretty scary things, but I don’t think anything from Equestria could feel so horrible!” Spike said still spooked.

“What are windigos?” asked Fluttershy.

“Windigos are evil spirits that feed off fighting and hatred which cause the winter snow to get colder. But I doubt there are any in this world. I believe anyone is capable of spreading hatred so easily without magic.” Twilight explained.

“You’re right.” AJ sadly agreed. These words caused her and the other girls to remember the last time they talked to Sunset Shimmer. They had started to believe she was Anon-a-Miss and denounced her as their friend. Now all they could feel was utter shame and regret

“Spike, we need to continue. Sunset Shimmer still needs our help.”

“Okay, I’ll try. But it’ll be hard to stay on her scent with this new scent mixed with it. The more I follow it, the more my instincts tell me to head in the opposite direction.” Spike said uneasily.

The eight girls followed the dog through the trees and to a freeway. Spike sniffed around the edge of the road and then sighed in disappointment.

“What’s wrong, Spikey-Wikey?” a concerned Rarity asked.

“I’ve lost them. Both Sunset’s scent and the other one end here! I’m sorry.” Spike said visibly upset.

“Don’t worry Spike. You did your best. We’ll figure out a way to find Sunset.” Twilight reassured her loyal assistant.

Twilight and the Humane Five huddled up to formulate a plan while the three Crusaders sat near the side of the road to try and think of a plan of their own and to think about the terrible decisions they made that led to this situation. Meanwhile, Spike picked up another scent and followed it to a nearby bush. Once he was in a position where he could see behind the bush he saw something that made him freeze where he stood, drop his jaw, and stare wide-eyed in horror. The three Crusaders noticed him and curiously walked over to see what he was looking at.

“What is it Spike? Did you find somethin-?” Before Scootaloo could finish her sentence, all three of them saw what the petrified dog had found.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Sweetie Belle let out a bloodcurdling scream which attracted the attention of the six older girls.

“What’s wrong Sweetie darlin-?” Rarity asked rushing over to her frightened sister, but all six girls gasped in horror at the cause of the commotion. Behind the bush was the body of a dead man, he was laying on side with his back against a tree, blood was dripping from his neck, and his lifeless eyes were wide open and looked as if he were staring right at them.

"Oh god! I think I’m gonna PUKE!” Rainbow Dash said covering her mouth, then turned around to hurl. All the others just stood where they were trembling. None of them had ever seen a real corpse before.

“Was he hit by a car or something?” an utterly terrified Fluttershy asked.

“No, it looks like his throat was slit.” Applejack answered while holding her terrified sister.

“Who or what could have done this?” a freaked out Rarity asked holding her sister who was sobbing on her shoulder.

“Do you think the other scent I found belonged to whatever did this, Twilight?” Spike asked nervously.

“What if it has Sunset Shimmer? What if this mysterious, murderous thing has her?!” Pinkie Pie was barely keeping it together.

“Sunset’s stronger than you think, she should be okay.” Twilight said trying to calm everyone down. However, she herself was starting to fear things were about to get much worse. “Sunset, where are you?”
