The Pony Prophecy

Waiting

Twilight dreamed that night, she dreamed of The Darkness. It was in the form of a dark grey storm cloud. Suddenly she heard a voice,"You will not defeat me I always win always will always have. Ha ha ha!!!" She woke with a start. Everything seemed so peaceful the twins curled up next to her, Dawn sleeping next to Shining, and Spike with his tale curled around everyone. Soarin' was keeping watch, he just looked out into the distance, not even noticing Twilight was awake

Twilight walked over to him,"Hey, you okay?" she asked.

"You should go back to bed you need your rest,"he replied.

"So do you, come back to bed please,"Twilight pleaded.

"Someone needs to keep watch,"replied Soarin'

"Well your shift is over. I'll go wake up Shining," Then she trotted away towards Shining and Dawn. After Shining and Soarin' switched places Soarin' curled up next to Dawn, Twilight, and the twins.and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up it was way past dawn. Twilight was crying softly

"Whats wrong?"he asked.

"They took Sunshine, during the night,"she sobbed. Sunshine being the older of the two was also the strongest and most powerful. She being only 2 days wouldn't know that they were trying to hurt her and her sister. "They left this note it basically said if they don't get Starlight to the Moon Stone by midnight they are going to kill her."

"This is all your fault!" Soarin' growled. He slowly turned towards Shining Armor. "You let them take my daughter. She is more powerful then any other pony. Even you Shining Armor. You are nothing more than a cocky piece if dirt." Anger seared through his body. "You were on guard. You were supposed to protect us,"

"How dare you. Ever since she became an adult I have protected Twilight and her sorry excuse for a husband," Shining Armor replied coolly.

"Stop! I will not sit by and watch my family fall apart," Twilight turned to her oldest daughter, "Dawn you will fetch Starlight. Soarin' you will stay here with Dawn. Shining, Spike, Cadence and I will take Starlight to the Moon Stone and retrieve Sunshine, "What do you mean I am to stay here? Why does Shining get to rescue my daughter my own flesh and blood while I stay here not doing anything,"

"Stop acting like a child Soarin'. I need someone to protect Dawn in case the desire to take her to,"

"Fine," he muttered. The family followed Spike out of his layer and into the dark forest.
