It all started when JoAnn heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" she called in a singsong voice. No answer. "Hm..strange. Most people answer.." JoAnn whispers to herself. She opens the door. No ponys there. "Weird.." she muttered and walked outside. "Hello?" she called. She hears a rustling in the bushes by her house. "Just the animals.. Probably..." she said and walked inside. She made sure to lock the door. "Just in case" she told no pony in particular. She trotted over to feed her puppy, Mocha. Then she trots up to her room to sleep. She hears the knocking again halfway up the stairs. JoAnn ignores it and keeps on going. She peacefully falls asleep. As she sleeps, a tall unicorn with a pitch black cloak enters the house. "I'm so glad I found you... JoAnn.." he says quietly and trots up to her room, making sure not to alert anypony.
JoAnn wakes up bound to a cold hard metal table. "Hello? Anypony there?" she calls. No answer. She begins to struggle. She stops when she hears a door open. "Hello, JoAnn.. Nice to see you again after all these years." a pony hissed in JoAnns ear. "Who are you? Why am I here?" she cried. She began to struggle again until a sharp thorn coverd whip hits her flank. She yelps in pain. "Only speak when u tell you to." the voice hisses. "I doubt you recognize me. Your brother. I haven't seen you since you were a baby! My have you grown!" the mysterious pony says. "I'm Red Check. I hope you enjoy your stay." Red Check says sincerely. He walks out, once again leaving JoAnn alone. She crys silently.
