Twilight sighed as she looked over every last bit of drawings, footage, and the diary. Nothing had changed since that day she revisited Lyra's house and got attacked. Things had been quiet, but that was the thing. Twilight knew it was only the calm before the storm. She was starting to become jumpier, she started feeling sick a lot easier, Twilight just wasn't feeling too well in general ever since she started looking more into Moondancer's disappearance. Bags started to form under Twilight's eyes, she started losing track of sleep and recently started picking up on Moondancer's habit of recording her daily routine on a video camera.

Though it was on this day in particular that Twilight received another letter from totheark.

"THeRe aRe DooRS STiLL LeFT uNoPeN, TeLL uS, you HaVe BeeN KeePiNG SeCReTS".

Us? Was there more than one involved with totheark? And what did totheark's message mean by there were doors still left unopen? And why would totheark be asking Twilight if she had been keeping secrets? She wasn't hiding anything. Well... that was really a lie. She never told Spike about why she was acting so strange. She usually told Spike it was the investigation getting her all worked up when in reality she was fearing for her life that she was in grave danger.

Later that day Twilight had just come back from the market when she found her bedroom door wide open. When she entered she saw nothing had been moved, but there was a message written on her window.

"TiMe iS RuNNiNG ouT".

Time is running out? For whom, or what for that matter? Twilight knew who when she saw Minuette's picture under the message. Time is running out for Minuette. Twilight quickly sent a letter via teleport and waited for a reply. She waited for what seemed like an hour until eventually, she did get a reply. Though it wasn't what she was hoping for.

"ark awaits".

"No, no, no, no, no, NO!" Twilight shouted in anger before punching the mirror in frustration

Unknown to Twilight, her camera started picking up something as she began to go into a coughing fit and eventually into a seizure attack.
