A dark unforseen

It's a wonderful day as Twilight and Starlight are working on their Usual “Friendship lessons” in the throne room of Twilight’s Castle. Starlight is Practicing one of Twilight's Multiple Levitating spells. “Gah! I’ll never get the hang of this! It's impossible!” Starlight said irritated. “It just takes a little more practice my pupil! Im sure youll get it in due time.” Twilight  said putting up some books.”But you're able to do it so well!” Starlight said giving up and letting the objects fall. “This is stupid!..everything is stupid!” She said running out the room and into one of the side rooms that was in the castle and began to cry. Twilight looked around the castle for starlight and couldn't find her, but spike came out of one of the other rooms and began to talk to twilight. “Hey twilight, How's the “friendship” Training thing going with starlight?..” He said as he hopped onto her back. Twilight then sighed and looked down as she walked down one of the corridors.” Oh spike...Starlight can't control her self doubt problems...it's like she’s confident one second then she loses all hope and just ..gives up..” Spike shrugs. “Maybe she’s not fit to be a pupil” .Starlight over hears spike and began to Cry. “Not fit to be a pupil?...H..how could he say that...I trusted him...I trusted her…” She began to hit the wall with her head while crying as she weakly slid down to the floor. As she began to sob, Her right hoof put pressure on a tile and a secret door revealed itself behind her, causing her to slide down a slide into a Dark tunnel under the castle. As Starlight looked around, She was deafened by the darkness. She felt negativity everywhere as she began to walk. “Th..this is...new..” She said illuminating her horn so she could spread some light around to see in front of her. “I can't..see anything...its like...a abyss..”

A voice could be heard clearly as it began to whisper. “I know what you've done…” Starlight yelped then gulped as she froze.”Is someone there?...hello?...spike?..princess?..” The voice whispered again as a cold breeze flew by her flanks. “We know of your Darkness..We Feed off your mortality...your lust for revenge…” The voices say again.”What do you wa..want?! And how do you know anything about me?!” Starlight said as her horn began to flicker. “We just want…” The voices stopped as everything went still. A bright red light then glew as a wall appeared in front of her. “Your feelings...your conscience...we want..” They said as the wall began to show pictures of Ponies, one of each kind. “What...what is the meaning of this?...Rainbowdash?...is this a prank?..if so you really got me...heh…” She said backing up as she hit another wall. “What is the meaning of this?! What do you want?! “ she said crying in fear, her heart racing, her blood rushing through her veins as her heart beat rose in fear. “We need the blood of the ones who walk on 4 hooves….only then shall we set you free…” They say as a red and dark green light surrounds starlight and began to enter her body through her mouth and attached itself to her mind and body.She began to pant and cough as a bit of blood arose from her mouth and nose. “The first 4 hooves we need...goes by the name of.. Sunburst…” Her eyes began to water as she screamed.”NO! Not sunburst! I can't! They'll know it's me! And i'll die before i let anything happen to him!” Her own hoofs went to her neck and began to strangle her. “You shall do as we say, or see the end of your days right here. Never to return. Never to rest in peace. Never to leave.” She began to speak weakly though she was being choked.”I..I ..i’ll do it!..just don't kill me!..” She said as the entity released her and she gasped for air. “You have to the next 7 moons to do the job…” 7 Red moons appear with the silhouettes of the others on them. “Every Time a 4 hooves is killed, the moon will go away, meaning the task is complete. But if the moon of the target does not fade within the time...we shall have to enslave you to a eternal world of darkness and damnation...also known as..our hell.”

Starlight looked up in fear and began to tremble as her eyes filled with the pulsing blood of the demons inside her. She is now unable to control her own actions. “Yes my lord...their blood will spill...limb by limb...heart by heart...skull by skull..”

Her smile turned to a demonic grin and began to laugh maniacally as her eyes Turned black under the power of darkness.

Twilight is still looking around for Starlight, getting worried by the second."Spike..where could she have went ? ..Ive searched almost everywhere in the castle.." She says as she sighs and lays down with her hooves over her eyes. "Maybe she's just at the spa relaxing?...ya know?...relieving stress and such" Spike says nervously trying to cheer up the stressful Twilight."She wouldnt go to a spa...atleast not without me...she's a bit shy by herself.." She said getting up. "we need to find her before she gets hurt...or kidnapped..or something..." Spike said worried."We will spike..we just need to look harder...theres always a light in the blackest of night...." Twilight says as she looks to the door that they hadnt opened yet which had the hidden path behind it.
