A Past That Haunts

by Lil Mizz Ash

Ponyville I

Previous Chapter

The carriage arrived in the center of Ponyville, and the guards that flew the princesses over there opened the door like gentlemen. Celestia stepped out first, and to her slight amusement and horror, saw the residents running all over town panicking. Luna had the same reaction.

"Twilight's gone! Sweetie belle's gone!" a yellow filly with red hair and a huge hot pink bow screamed.

"What are we gonna do?" a grey mare with blond hair and derpy eyes said.

"There's no one to lead us!" a cinnamon brown stallion with dirt brown hair cried.

"Hey! That's Princess Celestia!" The same yellow filly noticed.

In less than four seconds, the princesses were crowded with cries to help them save Princess Twilight. Princess Luna feeling overwhelmed, slowly backed away into the carriage, leaving Celestia with the mob.

The guards did their best to keep the ponies from reaching Celestia by pushing them back and doing a two man borderline with their bodies. But two men vs a village cannot last long, and the yellow filly squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Celestia's leg.

"HEY!" A guard called,"Come back over here-"

"Princess please save her," The filly squeezed Celestia's leg tighter,"Sweetie Belle did notin' wrong, I dunno why..." and started crying.

The crowd went silent, hearing the poor filly cry on Celestia's leg. Celestia bent down to the fillys height, and lifted up her chin with her hand.

"Don't worry, Sweetie Belle and Twilight will both be saved," She reassured, making sure to be very gentle with her voice. Then she looked up to the crowd,"Now tell me, any of you, what any of you saw."

People began to speak loudly again, but thanks to her subjective hearing, Celestia picked out vital information that was mostly repeated.

"I think it was a man,"

"He had black hair and black skin,"

"He looked like a black ghost, because he had black fog surrounding him,"

"Twilight looked like she was knocked out,"

"Sweetie Belle was looking for rocks that shone at night, and then I heard a scream, and she was gone!"

Celestia silenced the crowd,"Ok thank you!" She thought about the information she has recieved,"Now please go home and stay there, no one should go out until a guard is at your door telling you otherwise. Please stay safe."

The crowd ran towards diffrent directions to their respective homes, leaving the tired guards, Luna, and Celestia to themselves. Celestia Thought on the description of the kidnapper.

What person has black skin? It's extremely rare in Equestria. It's more common in Europony. Who? Who would have it?

Sombra.

Celestia shook her head, oblivious to the guards trying to pull her out of her thoughts No, it's not him, It can't be him. Twilight reported that he was blown to pieces.

That's why he would get Twilight.

"Princess?"

But why that filly? Does the filly have power or something? Did it remind him of-

Snowdrop?

"Princess Celestia?"

Celestia shook her head more, giving her a slight migraine that she also ignored No, it can't be...

He'll do the same thing he did to Discord to Twilight

No, no no No NO!

"PRINCESS?"

"What!?" She said on edge, realizing the situation.

"The more we wait, the bigger chance the perpetrator gets away. We need to act now your highness."

Celestia cleared her head, No way I'm believing that,not without proof.,"You're right. Do you guards know where Twilight's friends are?"

The second guard spoke up,"A person said that they were in Twilight's castle your highness."

"Alright, bring me there, Celestia commanded, still shoken up by her mind.

"Yes, your majesty," The guards say in union. parking the carriage, and leading Celesta to Twilight's you-cannot-ignore-this castle.

Luna stayed in the carriage, proccessing the information given to Celestia. But Luna heard more, more than needed.

She chuckled," Nice going Sombra," She smiled out the carriage," But you won't succeed, and you know that."


Author's Note

Yes. Europony. I Know, kill me right now. Ty for reading this far because all i got was dislikes, but I'm trying to see why people don't like it D;. I'm being more mindful of my description because of the constructive criticism i received (ty for that) and I hope the description improved in this chapter.
