Bloody Mirrors

RIIIIING! Twilight Sparkle's alarm went off as she groggily got up and out of bed. "Spike, hurry and get up! Today is the Nightmare Night festival!" She glanced over at the baby dragon, who was snoring heavily. "Spike!" Twilight had to shake Spike until he jumped out of his bed.

"T-Twilight, ask me next time before waking me up like that!" Twilight rolled her eyes, then explained to the dragon about the festival. "Get your costume, and meet me downstairs.

Soon enough, the pony and dragon were heading out to the festival.

    This year, there were extra things added to the festival. There were new rides, including a roller coaster, a Ferris Wheel, and a maze, which the interior was covered completely up, apparently. Spike pointed to the strange maze, where they saw Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie(who was jumping up and down excitedly). They were chattering happily while waiting in line. "Hey, look! Our friends are over there, Twilight !" Spike pointed out. Twilight smiled, and suggested that they head over to Fluttershy and Pinkie. "Sounds good to me!", exclaimed Spike. Twilight trotted over to the ride. Pinkie immediately noticed and gasped. "Omigosh Twilight I'm so glad you're here it's so good this'll be fun it's a new ride yes Fluttershy's here too and Spike oh yay and Rainbow Dash went in too and-" Pinkie Pie took another gasp, and Twilight sighed. She put her hoof over her mouth and said, "Now, Pinkie, don't waste all your energy talking. This ride is going to be awesome, and I can tell." Pinkie nodded her head, and Twilight took her hoof off Pinkie's mouth. Fluttershy also nodded her head. Chattering happily, they entered the maze of funny-looking mirrors.

***Here is where some certain disturbing parts may occur. If you have a weak stomach and can't stand gory descriptions, I suggest you might want to stop reading. If you can't stomach rats, then also leave. And I also want to say that I may not be a very good writer and the previous few paragraphs may not be very good. I am sorry and the next few paragraphs will be better. Well, maybe. Read the story if you want, and feedback in the comments will be very much appreciated. Don't just tell me my story sucks. If you do, then please give a reason. Thank you, and have a nice day. c:

The trio of ponies... and Spike entered the mirror maze. It really was a maze; there were different paths, lined with wavy mirrors that changed the ponies' appearances. Mirrors lined the walls. Fluttershy looked at the nearest mirror, which was normal, and started twirling her hair.. "I, um, suppose the first few mirrors are... normal?" Twilight looked at the next mirror, which distorted her face. She moved her head around while sticking out her tongue, giggling.

"Yeah, you're right." But then Fluttershy looked around.

"Where's Pinkie Pie?"

"I think I saw her go down the left corridor."

"Okay, Spike, stay here."

"What??!!?? C'mon, Twilight! Lemme go too! Fluttershy, I-" They trotted over to the entrance, ignoring Spike's comments, unaware that Pinkie Pie had gone the right way...

     "Hahaha! WhoOOOoooOOOooOooo! WaaAAAaaaAAAAAaaah!" Pinkie Pie giggled, nodding up and down at the nearest mirrror. She was having fun. Pinkie jumped up and down. Then she moved on to mirrors that made her look bigger, smaller, wider, and even colored differently! She was then red, magenta, yellow, blue, any color you could imagine. Then she looked behind her and said, "Oh, girls! This is fun!" but then she gasped. No pony was there.

"Fluttershy? Twilight? Where are you?" Then she heard a loud smash, which made her shriek. The mirror next to her was

shattered, and one shard had caught her in the hoof.

"This isn't funny! that hurt!" She glanced at her hoof, which was now bleeding considerably.

The mirror next to her shattered again, but Pinkie was ready. She jumped out of the way as a shard just whizzed by her face.

"No! Stop! I-" But then she stopped. The mirror that just broke.... did it just squeak?

    A single rat slowly came out from behind the mirror. Pinkie backed away. The rat scurried toward her and squeaked madly as five more came from behind the mirror. Pinkie was simply outnumbered. The rat jumped up on her and bit her leg. She screamed and shook the rat off while more came up. Pinkie screamed and started stomping all around her,  killing rats making the floor slippery with blood.

"NO! STOP!", she yelled. Pinkie's survival instincts kicked in and she ran(almost slipping in blood), away from the rats. They chased her all the way to a dead end, where she put on her game face and kicked a rat into a mirror, shattering it.

"Get away from me, you FILTHY VERMIN!" Her The mirror she broke started emitting rats, but then Pinkie realized something. She was outnumbered, and she couldn't get out of this. She couldn't tell-

Three rats jumped up on her flank, biting at her cutie mark. Pinkie Pie lost her balance and fell straight into the pile of rats. In approximately ten seconds, her fate would be sealed.

...

   Twilight and Fluttershy exchanged sighs. Pinkie could be a real problem.

"When do you think we'll find her? I mean, she might be on a whole different section of Equestria, knowing her!" Twilight exclaimed, rolling her eyes. Fluttershy chuckled to herself. "Ooh, ooh, um, I have an idea! Do you have a spell where we could see where she is, and if you can, can you, er, please use it?" Fluttershy grinned.

Twilight thought for a moment.

"Well, yeah. It'll show a virtual map in front of the area we're in, and it'll show a green X if the pony we're searching for is alive, and if the pony is... deceased, it won't show anything."

"May you try it?"

"Absolutely, but I may need some concentration and some room." Fluttershy backed away while Twilight's aura around her horn turned purple, as a map appeared in front of her. Twilight panted from the strain of the spell as Fluttershy read the map. She saw nothing but mirrors.

"Oh... um... Twilight, I think the spell may have failed." She showed the unicorn the blank map, but Twilight just gasped.

"But... it can't be possible!"

"Twilight, no, she's not dead."

'B-b-ut the spell never lies. I've tried it and it has never failed."

"Then, this must be the first time. Pinkie... can't be dead..."

"... Well, y-yeah, you're right. I-I'll try again."

And so she did. Still nothing showed. But Fluttershy still persisted, tears dripping down her face. After the sixth time, Twilight was exhausted and crying. Fluttershy was also crying.

"... Twilight, i-i-is it t-true? Is... Is... Is Pinkie Pie dead?"

"Fluttershy... it... it h-has to be true. The spell doesn't lie. I-I-It's hard... to believe, but sometimes we just need to accept things." Fluttershy surprisingly stood up and sighed.

"Twilight... I don't believe it...." She gulped and said strongly,

"I need to see the body."
