Cold fangs

Cold fangs

Something went terribly wrong

I ran through the dark corridors. The sound of my hooves was echoing from the walls.

But there was something else.

How did I get into this?

I was exhausted, but I knew I had to run.

I could hear a strange breathing voice.

This can’t be happening!

The rattling voice was coming closer.

I came to an crossing.

Crossings are bad! What was it? left, left, right, straight...

I didn’t knew how many crossings I had passed.

I decided to run to the left.

I can hear it! It’s coming closer!

I crashed into the wall as the corridor stopped.

I turned around as fast as I could, ready to face whatever was following me.

I don’t want to die now...

Something was moving around the corner.

I couldn’t really identify it, because it was too dark

...not after everything I found out!

It raised one of its deformed arms to struck me down

Suddenly the ground beneath me broke apart

Thank Celestia

I opened my wings to slow my fall, but the corridor was too small.

That was the first time I was falling free

No!

The air grew colder as I got deeper into the heart of the strange underground temple

I saw the floor coming closer. Way too fast.

This! Can’t! Be! Happening!

I crashed to the ground.

One single bone was pointing out of my leg

This pain feels so... unreal

I was alone.

Then I heard the voice of one of these things coming closer.

They can smell my blood!

Than I heard it.

The voice of hooves on stone.

Twilight! I’m here!

I wasn’t allowed to speak.

Neither of us was.

We didn’t wanted unwanted attraction. Worked just ‘perfect’!

Then I saw the shilouette of the violet mare running around the corner.

She stopped in front of me.

Please! Don’t leave me here!

All my hope sank down into a raging fire as Twilight slowly walked farther.

She hold on the words she said

Everyone who gets hurt will be left. It’s my fault.

I closed my eyes.

Waiting for the one unstoppable thing.

Death.

There he was.

An bone was poking out of his leg.

If somepony gets hurt, it will be left. He said it himself

I walked farther.

Nice and slow.

I don’t want to make any noise.

The next room was too dark.

I couldn’t see anything

I can’t lit up my horn now.

I went farther into the dark room.

The cold air was like breath in my neck.

I can’t risk anything!

The air grew colder with every step.

Every voice echoed from the walls.

I even can hear Rainy’s breathing.

It wasn’t Rainy Clouds.

Twilight did one more step.

I have to lit it up! now!

My hoof was levitating over a dark pit.

It was too deep to see what exactly was on the ground of it, but it lived.

It.... it has the shape of...

I turned around as fast as I could.

There were noises in the direction which I came from.

I can’t leave him with this thing! That’s something nopony should go through!

I ran back into the room where Rainy should have been.

He wasn’t in the room anymore.

-------

I don’t want to die! Let me go!

The thing hadn’t killed me.

It was pulling me somewhere.

I want to fly! Only one more time!

I was leaving a trail of blood behind me.

I heard the echoing sound of hooves.

“No Twilight! It’s a trap!”

Something got clobbered over my head.

I feel into peaceful darkness.

Once again...

There was a big trail of blood leading into one of the corridors.

I took all my left power and started running.

“No Twilight! It’s a trap!”

I fold out my wings.

Two of my friends seemed to be in danger.

Amazingly. I didn’t know that blue could turn red in such a short time.

My blood was spilling out my wounded in my wing.

I tried to ignore the pain.

If we come home I’ll never go in here again. Never!

Deadly doubles

Deadly doubles

This wasn’t good.

This was awful

I can’t stay in the darkness.

I saw a sudden movement in the corner of my eye.

I turned around as fast as I could.

“Who is there!”

I screamed.

I was to afraid to be quiet.

“Identify yourself!”

Something was coming closer.

I didn’t want to know what it was.

Probably another of Zecoras monsters.

Suddenly a pony-shaped thing moved around the corner.

I remembered that my friends both were knocked out.

This isn’t good!

I opened my eyes slowly.

Every single bone in my body hurt.

Especially my leg.

I tried to move my wings, but I was to weak.

Too weak to get out of the strong grip of the person which was pulling me away.

Do I have a chance to survive

“Good, you’re awake Mr. Rain.

You’re whole life-power I will drain.”

I don’t think so!

I tried to kick the zebra in its face.

Suddenly, a horrible pain shot through my legs

fu...

I woke up.

I was lying on the ground of one of the corridors.

My head....

I tried to stand up,as a horrible pain shot through my leg.

I sank to the floor again.

My leg.... its broken.

I tried to fly.

I knew that it was dangerous, but I had no other chance.

Just make no sounds...

I eventually was flying.

I looked around.

The blood trail... its leading straight into a... wall?

I heard a sound.

I turned around, filled with fear.

T..this feeling...

I never was frightened like this.

Every single muscle in my whole body firced.

Please be Twilight, please be...

The thing that went around the corner didn’t look like Twilight.

It also didn’t look like Rainy or Zecora

But it doesn’t look like one of the monsters.

“H..help me” a familiar weak voice said.

The little pegasus collapsed.

What is Fluttershy doing in here?

Zecora threw me into a little dark chamber.

She closed the door

Why is she doing this?

I heard a weak breathing voice.

I tried to spy through the darkness.

Is this....

I tried to walk to the pegasus.

I forgot about my bone

This pain...

I screamed in pain.

“W..who are y..you?”

This doesn’t sound like her at all.

I crawled over to the pegasus.

I positioned in front of her.

“My name is Rainy Clouds”

“Y..you? F..Fluttershy told.... told me who did this to her!

Why do you want to kill us?”

“Why should I want to do that?”

I thought about it for a while.

This had to be Zecoras work.

“No! I would never do something like this to anyone of you!”

I collapsed as two hooves hit me hard in my face.

As I woke up again, two angry mares were over me.

“We … we can still talk about this! Right?”

Rainbows hoof hit me hard in the face.

“We will talk about it!”

I see where this is going

The darkness was more than just darkness.

Without my magic, I felt helpless and weak as the pony shaped thing was coming closer.

“Who are you?”

“Hi Twilight. What is this place?”

I heard Pinkies voice.

“What are you doing here?”

“You’ll know.” she said.

I was confused.

“But how did you get here?”

Suddenly the single pieces of my mind were going together.

“I used the door.”

“Oh did you do so?

I blasted my hooves into her face.

She collapsed.

What? Isn’t this some sort of illusion?

“You’re very smart Twilight.”

As she was talking, Pinkies voice was getting deeper.

How is this possible? She should have passed out!

I got closer to Fluttershy.

Suddenly, she jumped up and attacked me.

What?.. I can’t attack Fluttershy!

Fluttershy attacked me with all her power.

The pain felt far away and unreal.

I have to flee!

I flew in the direction where Fluttershy had come from.

What I saw shocked me.

Everything is so unreal...

“Who are you? And what did you do to the real Rainy Clouds!”

another hoof went straight down to my stomach.

“I am the real Rainy Clouds!”

Fluttershy disappeared for a few seconds.

As she came back she had some metallic thing between her tooth

Is that a … knife?

The offer

The offer

I turned around as fast as I could, pointing away from the wrong Pinkie’s body.

Rainy stand behind me.

“You can’t be the real one!”

He attacked me all of a sudden.

I had to run away.

This is bad. We’ll never know who we are attacking!

Fluttershy moved her head down as fast as she could.

The pain of the cold steel impaling my flesh and my muscles was paralyzing.

Do I have to end like this? Murdered by Rainbow and a wrong Fluttershy?

Fluttershy’s head was pointing upwards again as she prepared her next strike.

My screams echoed from the walls.

I don’t want to end like this!

What I saw was terrifying.

In front of me was no corridor, but a heavy steel door.

This is bad!

I tried to press the door open.

Nothing happened.

If only my leg weren’t broken!

I started to panic a little as the wrong Fluttershy came closer.

“Stay with me! I’m so alone down here!”

Is she crying?

A liquid was dripping out of her eyes, down on the cold stone floor.

That were no tears.

Is she... bleeding?

The amounts of the liquid raised with every second.

I was 100% sure, this was blood.

That can’t be Fluttershy, but... everything’s possible isn’t it?

I cursed myself for being the element of loyalty.

Suddenly, the blood began to move.

Is it... reproducing?

The blood began to reform itself.

Applejack got up from the floor.

W..wait! If they can form as AJ and Fluts, does this mean they also can form as one of us?

The both were moving slowly towards me.

I turned around and kicked the door as hard as I could

Maybe this will give me enough boost to get past them.

A few moments before my hooves touched the door, it opened.

I lost my balance and crashed to the ground.

What?

I stand in front of a heavy iron door.

I had to run away from the wrong Rainy Clouds.

I have to get past this door

Since I still couldn’t use my magic, I had to use another method to open the door.

I stuck my horn between the door and the wall.

Come on! Move!

The door sprang open and two cyan blue legs bolted through the air.

This was dangerous.

Two possibilities. She’s real or she wants to kill me. Or both...

Rainbow stumbled through the entrance.

She panicked and shut the door.

“Two of them are out there!”

She screamed at me.

She looks like she fleeing from something. Maybe she’s real?

She looked puzzled.

“W..wait! Are you one of.. of them?”

“No I’m not! But there’s also one of them in here!”

She looked like her last hope was taken away from her.

“Do you want to say...”

“It was nice to meet you Rainbow.”

The sixth time that Fluttershy moved her head down as fast as she could.

The sixth time that the knife impaled my wing.

Why did I agree to this?

Fluttershy spit the knife out of her mouth.

Her muzzle was dyed red with my blood

What does she want to do now?

She struck one of her hooves on my chest.

“You’ll tell us everything now!”

“I.. I don’t even... even know what you.... what you want to know”

Twilight leaned down against the door.

“He is around the corner. What should we do?”

“I don’t know! Did you try magic?”

“Zecora took my magic. I can’t use a single spell”

Twilight began to cry.

“Don’t worry. We will get out of here.”

“Y.. Yes maybe. But even then she still has got Rainy.” Twilight responded.

“We must find him. Nobody should be left here!”

“You’re right. But we can’t find him if we’re dead!”

“You’re right.”Twilight said.

She stood up, but she still had tears in her eyes.

Even if she can’t use her magic, she still can use her horn in a fight.

“We will make you a offer that you cannot regret.” the yellow filly said.

She put the knife up again.

I can guess what comes next

“You will help us to hunt your friends down, or...” the obviously faked Rainbow Dash replied.

The clone of Fluttershy dipped the knife into a strange liquid.

“No! I won’t do that!”

My sight blurred as the poison rushed through my veins.

The pain of the six wounds and my broken bone got flushed away with every other feeling.

I can't think clear.. I...

Deathlines

Deathlines

I could hear Rainy scream, I heard his warning.

But I was sure I saw Rainbow Dash flying into that corridor.

If it’s really a trap, I’ll have to warn Rainbow Dash

I ran faster than I’ve ever run before.

My hooves were sliding on the small trail of blood on the ground

I must warn Rainbow Dash.

I came to an crossing.

I listened if I could hear the voice of Rainbow or the one of Rainy.

I’ll have to follow the blood. But this could be a trap!

-------

I barely could see my hooves in front of my eyes.

I was flying as fast as I could with my wounded wing.

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

I heard something.

I heard something too late.

I...

A big piece of metal hit into my face.

I first realised how mortal I was.

These voices. Are this my bones?

-------

Something is following me.

But nopony will trick me.

Nopony. Not even you my little Dashie.

I loved my possibilities.

My endless oportunities

How many mares would give their lives for my fate.

I had the poor little Rainy Clouds in a constant grip.

Even if he would wake up, he wouldn’t have a chance to get away.

This will be your greatest nightmare.

I thought about it.

I thought about it quite a while now.

Why is Luna princess of the night? She isn’t scary at all.

I stripped of my pink coat

I looked like Luna now

And in a few seconds I’m a whole other Pony.

I had so many little trophies with me.

I could just make my trophies.

But it wouldn’t be the same. No fun at all.

I heard a loud voice.

It sounded like something was crashing.

I hope I’m not too late.

 I ran around the next corner.

There she was lying.

Rainbow...

She was knocked out.

One of her legs was strangely deformed.

Rainbow... why?

I ran around the corner with my glowing horn.

I saw her.

That’s just sick!

“Twilight my dear.

Do you think you’re the one I fear?”

“Enough with this. You gone too far Zecora.

She looked like Luna.

Between her hooves she held Rainy Clouds.

“Let us go!”

“But twilight, it would be a sin.

The fun is just about to begin!”

“What are you....”

She threw something on the ground.

The whole corridor was filled with smoke

My magic... it doesn’t work!
