See it and weep

The Doctor opened his eyes. He felt dizzy, and his back was freaking cramping up.

"Twilight? Have you woken up yet? I believe they knocked us out with some sleeping gas..." He looked around to find that Twilight was nowhere to be found. He was in a ten by ten foot stone cell. The only thing giving off light was a small window on the back wall.

"Oh great." he moaned, remembering to a full what had happened.

After reopening their eyes from blinking, they found that the angels had transported them to an underground dungeon.

"My Celestial! Twilight had gasped."We’re in the Dungeon under the princesses castle!!!" she near fainted into the Doctor after that. They were led into another room. From it they could hear a faint moaning noise. When they could finally see, their eyes adjusted to the light, they both gasped. In front of them was Colgate. Or at least half Colgate. Her horn was gone and replaced with large wings on her back. All the way from her back hooves to her shoulders, she was stone. Her head was still free, but not for long. Her eyes where tightly closed, trying to fend off the angel now inside her. Her face was full of pain.

“NO!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS! SHES ONLY A CHILD!” The Doctor shouted, his rage coming out at full force. The angels backed away from him for a moment. He ran to Colgate, determined to save her.

“Uncle? Is that you? Help me.” She said in a faint whisper as if she was far away.

“Listen to me Colgate. Whatever you do don’t open your eyes. I will save you. Trust me. I love you.” He whispered back. Then he felt dizzy. Last thing he remembered was Twilight screaming.

Twilight cried. She was so scared and confused. Where was Clockwork? Was he okay? The last she had seen of him was when the angel had hit him across the head. After that, the angels had taken her away from Colgate’s room and into a stone cell. It wasn’t very big, but she fit. It had been at least two days since then. She could only tell by the times that food and water where given to her. Breakfast, dinner, lunch. All bread and water.

She had no idea why they kept her alive, but she hoped they wouldn’t change their minds and kill her. But she still couldn’t get out even if they did decide to kill her. All the magic was cut off in there. The only times she could even use the simplest spells was when the princesses raised or lowered the sun and moon. Even then for only a few seconds. Her plan of escape was to be moved to the cell that had a secret passageway out of the dungeon. It should be a few cells down and then the first cell to the right. It was the only cell completely made of stone, other than the small window. She had read in books from her past studies that in that cell there was a small mouse hole under the bed.

It was made by a unicorn prisoner back in the first century of Celestia’s rule. He had used an animal communication spell and gotten the mouse to dig the hole. It was finished within the year. The unicorn shrunk himself and escaped through it. If she could get there, she could shrink herself, get out, warn the princesses, and save equestria! But the only way to get to that cell was either make a huge disaster and the angels would put her there, or to escape the cell and get over there. She decided to try planning one as soon as the sun was being raised.

It burned. Colgate could feel the angel trying to push itself into her mind. She couldn’t move her legs or neck anymore. They felt cold. She couldn’t feel her hearts beating either. It was impossible for her to even be alive right now. It wanted to see. She could feel the hate and hunger the creature had. It wanted out. She knew if she opened her eyes, she would only feel worse. She had tried it before. But the angel in her mind was trying its best to push her away. Weaken her. Not only did it bring the straining pain of trying to keep it out. It also brought the pain of memories. It brought them up when all Colgate wanted to do was keep them hidden. Even now, it was bringing them.

”Hey Colgate!” diamond tiara yelled at her. The bully had tried to bully Dinky and Colgate wouldn’t take it any longer. She had grabbed tiaras saddle bag, and threw it over the bridge, and into the pond. She was hoping that this would make tiara go, but it had only made her angry.

“You puny little brat! Your goanna get it! Stone! Get over here I got a foal that needs some toughening up!” she yelled for him, and he had come. Stone hoof was the biggest colt in the school. He was also the meanest. Colgate cowered down, prepared for the worst to happen.

Sure enough, pain shot through her every limb. They kept on. She cried. No pony stopped to help. She never looked up the whole time. She never came out of her little ball. She knew that if she did it would only be worse. Her face was bleeding. The bullies where laughing, stepping on her and abusing her. When they finished, there was nothing left of Colgate that wasn’t bleeding or in pain. She could almost feel the regeneration energy beginning to build up. Just to make their point clear, they threw the now red filly over the bridge. Not into the water, but onto the rocks. She could hear the loud crack of her bones. Then she couldn’t feel anything anymore.

She thought she would die right there. The last thing Colgate heard was a shouting voice, like thunder. To Colgate it was a soothing thunder. To others, it was worse. Then it went black.

And it stayed black. No light under her closed eyes. Only darkness and pain. But she knew that if she could take as much suffering as she already had, she could hold on until the Doctor got there. It was only a matter of time.
