FINAL CHAPTER

As night falls down on Ponyville and everyone is ready to go to bed. Twilight, illuminated by the light of a single candle, walks down the long corridor of her castle. She enters the castle´s library and looks around the dark room. Moonlight filters thou the librarys windows. Twilight closes the window drapes making sure not a single light pases thou. She walks up to a large wooden table filled with mountains of books. Her candle is the only thing that lights the room. She puts the candle on top of a pile of books and takes a deep breath.

“Hello?” She asks. “I know you’re here with me.” She asks but nobody answers. “Is anyone there?”

An old woman like rusty voice answers. “We... are... here.”

Chills run up Twilights back as she hears the voice coming from behind her. Twilight is too afraid to turn around so she stands still trying not to move a muscle. “What are you?” She asks.

The voice takes a moment to answer. “We are the creatures that live in the darkness. The creatures that fill everyponys hearts with sorrow.” Twilight takes a moment but before she can ask the next question the voice whispers into her ear. “Who… are… you?” The voice asks.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am the Princess…”

“Princess of Friendship. We know.” The voice answers before Twilight can finish.

“What is it that you want?” Twilight asks the voice. A shadow slowly moves around the table avoiding the candles light.

“Take us to the princess.” The voice answers.

“I am the princess.”

“Not you!” The voice angrily interrupts her. “The other princess.”

Twilight seems confused. “Princess Luna?”

“No.” The shadow moves closer to Twilight. “The sun pony.” As the old voice answers other different voices are heard around the library. “The Sun Pony. The Sun Pony. Bring us to her.” The voices whisper. In that moment Twilight realises that there are more than one shadow ponies living in her castle than she expected.

“You want to go to Princess Celestia? Why?” She asks as the shadow moves around the table avoiding the candles light. She looks at Twilight not letting her out of her sight.

“The Sun Pony. Must... die.” The old voice answers. The echos of more voices talking over each other are heard around the library. “Die. She must Die. The Sun Pony must die.”

Twilight seems afraid and can´t answer. “B-But Princess Celestia is my teacher.”

The shadow walks closer to Twilight. “We know. You... are going to takes us to her.”

“I won’t. I would never do something that would hurt my teacher.”

The shadow walks behind her. “If you don’t.” A long dark claw come out from the darkness behind Twilight and grabbing her by the neck squeezing it tightly. Twilight is afraid but acts tough. “We will drive you mad. We will fill your hear with sorrow. We will make YOU kill her for us. Just like we did with the Moon Pony.”

Twilight thinks for a moment. “You what? But… Princess Luna never killed Princess Celestia.”

The voice whispers into Twilight’s ear. “We know. She was useless. She was weak. But we... are strong.”

Twilight is almost out of breath. “But… without Princess Celestia… there would be nopony to raise the sun. Why would you want that?”

“The light…. It hurts us.” The old voice answers as more and more voices whisper around the room. “It hurts. The light hurts. Kill the Sun Pony. The Sun Pony must die.”

“If you kill her. We... will serve you. We... will make your enemys kill themselves.” The voice says as the other voices begin to chant. “All heil Princess Twilight. All heil our princess.” The voices whisper.

“But… if you don’t… we will end your life.” The claw grabs Twilight tightly choking her.

“I always wanted to be a Princess. Rule over Equestria.”

The shadow lets go of Twilight. “Do we have an understanding?” The shadow approaches Twilight and smiles.

“But I would never do something to hurt my teacher.”

In a quick movement Twilight kicks the candle against a book shelf. The book shelf catches fire. Screams of pain are heard around the room. “This is for Apple Jack!” Twilight kicks the shelf burning her back hoofs. The shelf falls down against another shelf full of more books. Quickly enough the whole library catches fire. More and more screams are heard around the room as the dark figures burn alive. “That is for trying to hurt my teacher.”

The shadows scream in pain and despair as they burn. Twilight runs as fast as she can towards the door but a long dark claw grabs her. Twilight turns around to see a dark skeletal figure grabbing her. “You bitch!” The figure throws Twilight into the center of the room. Flames surround them both as the figure stands up. It is much bigger and stronger than Twilight, it’s dark flesh burning with the light. “You will die here.”

In a desperate attempt Twilight fires a beam of light at the dark figure. The figure is gone, it is no where to be seen. Twilight makes another attempt to run for it but a large shelf falls over her pinning her to the ground. A laughter is heard near Twilight. She looks down to her own shadow to see a pair of eyes looking at her. “All heil Princess Twilight.” Before Twilight can react a pair of dark claws come out of the shadow grabbing her by the neck choking her. Twilight tries to free herself but the ceiling of the library collapses over Twilight and the Shadow Pony.

EPILOGUE

As the sun goes down at Canterlots Morgue Dr. Clip Clop and Dr. Sick Stroke enter a white room where the cadavers are kept. They push a cold table where Twilights body lays dead ready to be prep for the wake. Parts of Twilights body as well as part of her face are burned from the fire.

“Tragic. Isn’t it? What happened at Ponyvilles Castle?” Dr. Clip Clop says as he reads a report on the deceased.

“Not one single survivor.” Dr. Sick Stroke adds. “But there´s something that bothers me.”

“What is it?” Dr. Clip Clop asks.

“Why is the wake being held here in Canterlot and not in Ponyville?”

“Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decided she should be buried at the royal graveyard and the wake will be held at Canterlots Castle.” Dr. Clip Clop says as he puts down the report.

Dr. Sick Stroke looks confused as Twilight’s mouth is wide opened. “Dr. Clip Clop? Was her mouth always wide opened?”

Dr. Clip Clop walks closer to Twilight´s body and inspects it for a second. Her mouth wide opened shows a pitch black interior.

“I swear it was closed when the body arrived.” Dr. Sick Stroke adds.

Dr. Clip Clop looks at his colleague unimpressed and closes Twilights mouth. “You’re just imagining things.” Dr. Clip Clop says as he walks out of the room followed by Dr. Sick Stroke.

“Do you think Princess Luna and Princess Celestia will be at the wake?” Dr. Sick Stroke asks him.

“Most definitely.” Dr. Clip Clop answers as they both walk out the room and turn off the lights.

Once there is no one insight and the room is pitch black. Twilights mouth slowly starts to open as wide as it can. Inside, hiding within Twillights dead body the is the shadow pony. It smiles knowing Princess Celestia will attend the wake. “The sun... pony.” She says to herself as she laughs.
