Not all cutiemarks are good

"Hey Sweetie Belle! You seen Scoots?"

Apple Bloom asked as the two fillies

entered the school house. Sweetie

shook her head,"I haven't seen her all

week. Weird, huh?"

"Yeah, weird."

The two fillies entered the class room

and sat at their normal desks.

"Okay, class! Get out your plant biology

text books and open them to part 37."

The whole class sighed, but Nopony

dared disobey Ms Cherilie. As the

teacher tried to explain some supposedly

simple part about how plant cells work,

Sweetie and Apple Bloom continued

to whisper.

Scootaloo opened her eyes, only to

see compleat darkness. She looked

around, but she could not see a thing.

Scoots became aware of a foul stench

that reached her lungs. She coughed,

almost unable to bare the smell, and

covered her muzzle with her hoove.

Scootaloo looked up sharply, as she

thought she had heard hoove steps.

Something let out a growl in the dark,

and Scootaloo knew she was not alone

any more...
