AppleJack trotted ever so curiously up to the figure she saw in the dark. She could hear the *clop clop* noise emitting from the figures hooves and it moved towards her.

“Hey there, what’cha doing out here so late at night?” AppleJack waited a few seconds for a response, but instead all she got was a moan. AppleJack moved closer to the now approaching figure. Then, light from the moon landed upon the face, and then AppleJack saw it. It was Rarity. Her eyes were glossed over, her left cheek was missing, and her horn looked like it was practically dipped in blood. Once Rarity stepped even more into the moonlight, AppleJack saw more of the hellish features of that was once Rarity. Her leg looked like it had been ravaged by an animal, and her stomach was ripped open. Her guts hung out.

At that moment, AppleJack sprinted to her barn.

Applejack stood against the door of her beloved barn, frozen in fear. “Stop it! Please! Stay back!” Applejack begged. Applejack looked around the ground for ANYTHING to use as protection from her blood thirsty friend. Her eyes fell upon a stick, and she grabbed it. When she rose back up, the first thing she saw was the fires. They were all emitting from Ponyville. Applejack wondered if any of her other friends survived this catastrophe. Snapping back to reality Applejack raised the stick at the purple maned pony. The turned Rarity continued trotting towards Applejack. Moans escaped her mouth as she approached the quivering earth pony, leaving a trail of blood behind her mutilated leg. Applejack swung the stick as soon as Rarity got into range. The stick hit Rarity’s neck, and snapped. Rarity continued her assault, the stick having no affect on her. Applejack tried to run, but Rarity then pounced on her, and dug her teeth into Applejack’s neck. The last thing Applejack could hear was the sound of her friends teeth crunching with eat bite she took. She could see the fires from Ponyville growing ever so large, and then her vision faded to black.

Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Scootaloo ran past Rarity’s boutique. There was no need to go there anymore. They had passed Sweetie Belle’s corpse not even a block away, nearly half her body had been mutilated and eaten. The scenes they saw as they made their way to Sweet Apple Acres was heartbreaking. The world seemed to go in slow motion, just long enough so they can see everything that was happening. In every direction there were dead ponies lying on the ground, dead ponies that had reanimated that were eating others, crying, and of all things, there was zero hope.

They were nearing the woods entrance to Apple Acres, when Twilight was practically tackled by one of the dead. Then, before the others could step into help, they were surrounded by them. Scootaloo was grabbed from behind and was pulled into the crowd of the dead. Rainbow Dash tried to grab Scootaloo’s hoof but the strength from them was too much for her. At that moment, something inside of her snapped. Her hoof went right into the head of the nearest one of the infected she could find. Blood splattered onto her as she brought down the ponies that were nearing them.

As Rainbow Dash dealt with them, Twilight managed to push the unnaturally strengthened undead pony off her, and unable to conjure up magic quickly enough, she stabbed the bloodied stallion in the head with her horn. She turned to her friends and saw Rainbow crush the head of one of the dead with her hooves. Twilight shot, almost blade like, sparks of magic at the rest of the dead. Those sparks impaled them and they fell to the ground, forever lifeless.

“SCOOTS” Rainbow Dash screamed as she saw the now mangled filly in her hooves. She sobbed quietly at the sight.

“I’m going to kill them all..” Rainbow Dash said, her voice full of anguish and hatred. “I'm going to FUCKING KILL THEM ALL!” she screamed profanities and curses at the wandering undead for a solid minute before Twilight interfered.

“Rainbow! I KNOW you’re angry, but if we don't survive this, her death will be in vain! Do you want her to die for nothing?!” Twilight asked firmly.

The words sunk into Rainbow, rather reluctantly, and she very slowly got up and started to walk with the others with her head hung low. Then, she heard a soft growl. Very slowly, all of them turned around, only to be greeted by a terrifying sight. It was Scootaloo,. getting up from the ground.

“No..NO NO NO NO NO!” Rainbow Dash screamed. Scootaloo was turning. “This cant be happening, why...why did it have to be her!” The tears rose in Dash’s eyes as Twilight lit up her horn, ready to put a rest to the now undead filly. As Twilight was about to fire Rainbow Dash simply said “No.” and walked in front of Twilight. She approached the struggling pony, now made monster, and stood still.

“I’m sorry kid…. I'm so sorry... “ Rainbow Dash said, almost inaudibly. She held the filly down, avoiding the snapping jaws of her former friend. With a quick and strong motion Rainbow Dash brought her hooves down on Scootaloo’s head. The blood splattered on Rainbow Dash’s face and hooves.

Everypony stood quiet, even Rainbow Dash, no cries, or even as much as a grunt from her. It was eventually Fluttershy who broke the silence.

“Come on.. Let’s get moving.” She whispered, and motioned her hooves to the others. Rainbow Dash silently trotted along with them. She wanted to cry, but she felt it necessary to be strong, for Scootaloo..

The closer they got, the louder the sounds of grunts became audible. When they finally reached the farm the sight was no better. There was a trail of blood. A trail that led to Big Macintosh and AppleBloom, sitting on her brothers back. Underneath them, laid a fallen Rarity, and AppleJack. Macintosh’s hooves were imprinted into the heads of the both of them.

All they could do was stare at each other. Whether the looks were those of fear and hurt, or even anger.
“I guess it got here too.. Huh?” Twilight somberly asked.

“Yeeup.” Big Macintosh said as he walked over to them.

“Where’s Scootaloo and SweetieBelle?” AppleBloom hopefully asked.

Their gazes fell, Rainbow could only get out “No”

AppleBloom’s face very quickly became tear ridden as she sobbed. Her sister, her granny, and now her friends were gone.

1 Hr Later

Twilight blasted through the head of one of the dead, revealing the road out of Ponyville. The one that would lead to the train station . The five survivors gently trotted down the road.

Twilight, turned around and just stared. The fires, and the now dying screams were more than enough to tell her that Ponyville, the place she called home for years, was gone. She turned back around, and caught up to the others. They all simultaneously looked at one another, before galloping away from Ponyville.

None of them knew exactly where they would go, or how far the infection had spread, but they just kept on running, to death, or to serenity, nopony knew.
