She could hear them walking up the stairs, no doubt thinking they would come to rescue their friend or punish the one who they thought had killed her. The pony in the study of one Princess Twilight Sparkle knew that the ones that would soon break into the study would not show any mercy, not after all she had done.

The mare looked at the papers on the desk again. Two scrolls were on the desk, waiting to be open by those that found them. She could destroy the one that Twilight had made, the document that was Twilight's Last Will and Testament, to be open in case of Twilight's death or disappearance. The mare smirked, she could destroy the will, but she knew that she could not bring her self to do it, as she did not have time to do it..........

And she was the one who made it.

The other scroll, titled 'The Confession of Princess Twilight Sparkle', was written by Twilight her self, a document that would expose everything that had happened, all the crimes and horrors and the events that caused it to happen. The mare knew that it would me the last scroll Twilight Sparkle would ever write.

For Twilight was no more.

The sound of pounding on the study door broke her out of her thoughts. "Midnight!" a voice yelled, that of Starlight Glimmer, "We know You're in there!"

the mare knew that her time was up, that soon, the very friends of Twilight Sparkle would come after her and try to bring her, Midnight Darkness, to justice. But Midnight would not face the law, for she her self would escape for the last time.

Midnight looked down at the note that she had also written, a short letter to the family of Twilight Sparkle. All that it said was this.

To Twilight Velvet, Night Light, Shining Armor, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Spike Sparkle

I am sorry for everything

-Midnight Darkness

Midnight placed the note on the desk and took something else in her hands, a small vial. It was full of a greenish-black liquid, a poison made from the seeds of plunder vines. While not deadly to Dracoequines or other creatures, plunder vine seed could kill any equine beings, even Alicorns.

"Alright! Down with the door, Applejack!" Starlight said from beyond the door. Soon the sound of an axe slamming into the door echoed. Soon enough, they would break in.

Glaring at the door, Midnight decided to do one last act of defiance. "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, BITCHES!" She yelled, then she drank the poison.

The door started giving way as the six ponies and dragon rushed in, only to find a dying Alicorn on the floor.

"Great Faust! We're too late!" Starlight exclaimed as she rushed to the dying Midnight.

The monster in pony form was convulsing, her body shaking like a building in a earthquake, her blueish-green eyes were rolled back as she was in her death throes.

Suddenly the back door opened fast, causing the seven in the room to look up. Standing in the door way, with a look of horror and sadness on her face, was Lyra Heartstrings.

"No......." she said quietly, "I was too late."

Just then, Starlight felt a tug at her dress. Looking back down at the dying pony, she saw that Midnight's eyes had changed from their glowing blue-green to violet colored, just like Twilight's. Her horn, which looked liked that of a changling's horn, had also stopped glowing.

"F-for-forgive me......" she said with her last breath as Midnight Darkness, Mad Alicorn and Murderer, died.


The Canterlot Graveyard was a very dismal place, even on sunny days. right now it was raining and stormy. In the graveyard, a group of ponies were attending a burial.

Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike stood at one side of the open grave while on the other side were Lyra Heartstrings, Twilight's Parents, Shining Armor and Cadence, who was holding her little foal, Furry Heart.

Twilight Sparkle had asked in her will, the second and newer of two wills she made, that they would attend Midnight's Burial, even with all the evil she caused. From the way it was written, Twilight had added that part on her own free will. It may have been because she was always kind to others, even trying to teach the most evil of villains the value of friendship. She had also added that Midnight Darkness had no friends to morn her and she only wished that she knew the magic of friendship.

Also in the Will, Twilight had left her Castle to Spike and Starlight. Her Title of Princess of the Rainbow Friendship Kingdom was also given to Starlight while her books were to be given to the New Ponyville Library. She also wished that her good deeds and works were to be remembered.

Starlight looked around at the ponies gathered. At the foot of the Grave, Princess Celestia stood, with Luna by her side as she said the Death Rites, while eight royal guards lowered a simple wooden coffin into the ground.

Celestia soon spoke; "Ashes to ashes, Dust to Dust, let Faust, She of Many Races, have mercy on this...." She paused as she looked down at the coffin of Midnight Darkness before continuing "This Mare."

Starlight soon overheard two of the guards talking.

"Mare?" one guard said, "Did she call that thing a mare?"

"That is no pony in that coffin," the other Guard said, "That was a Monster and Faust won't have mercy on her soul, because Midnight Darkness never had a soul."

Starlight glared at the two guards before she heard Celestia speaking once more.

"Midnight Darkness," she said to the Coffin, "You have been buried in an unmarked grave, like a common criminal. Let No Pony morn you, for they only morn for the pony you have taken away from us." She then turned to the guards.

"Cover the grave." she ordered.

As the guards started putting dirt into the grave, Starlight only thought one thing, one thing only. She looked at Twilight's parents, with Velvet crying loudly while hugging her husband as Shining looked at the grave, standing stock still with anger in his eyes at the coffin of the monster who had cause pain for his sister. Candace was crying along with her child, morning for the friend and sister-in-law she had lost.

If only they knew. Starlight thought, while looking at Lyra, who was also crying, knowing the truth of what had happened.

If only They knew...........
