The Death Mansion of No Escape
Chapter Two
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was nearly time. The sun was setting and it was getting dark. The six mares had given up on trying to escape after three hours of searching around the humongous place. Of course, Rainbow Dash had refused to give up, but after another hour or so, even she had to rest.
"I don't think we're going to ever get out of here. We might die here." Twilight Sparkle said, plopping herself onto the old couch. It let out a squeal and some dust came off of it.
"Alright. Rainbow Dash. I need you to tell me everything you know and why you didn't tell us before we came here or even entered."
Rainbow Dash sighed and rubbed her head.
"Truth is, I didn't even remember this place existed until a few hours ago. The last time I heard anything true about this mansion was before we even met. Seven years ago. Of course, I wouldn't remember anything or even recognize this place. Of course, I've passed this place here and there, but the last time I ever did was about a year ago. And with all the recent activity, I obviously wouldn't have remembered anything."
"Only when I read that diary and was able to take in the surroundings and remember what it looked like from outside was I able to piece everything together and realized what mansion this was. I'm actually quite surprised you guys never heard those rumors."
"I'm surprised I didn't hear about this sooner," Twilight said.
"That's because there are no records about this in history. Everything about this place was burned or destroyed. Even the ones who knew were killed. Only remaining things from those who ever entered are left in here."
"Then... how do you know so much?"
"I was the only one who knew anything after that day. And by that, I mean I was SUPER LUCKY. No pony else knew anything after that night. And here's how anyone knew anything."
"In this place's entire history, only one has ever made it out. It may seem impossible, but it's true. It was about a year after you became an alicorn. The escapee, which no one knows the name of, wrote down everything he knew that night. The next day, he spread the news. Soon, half of Equestria, including the princesses knew about this. They were planning to burn this place down, but two days after the news was spread, something terrible happened."
"All who knew about anything about this was killed. Only important ponies and the princesses had their memory erased of this. That unfortunately includes you guys. And the escapee, from the looks of it when they found him, he was violently murdered. I was the only one who knew anything the next morning. Everything about the place outside of here was erased from existence. Except for one page. The next day, even that was gone. Only rumors and gossip run around now. So far, everyone is fine. I don't know where anything about this is in Equestria right now. I would spread the real news and everything, but I don't want anything bad to happen again. Like that one night..."
"If you're still alive to this day, you're one of the top ten of the luckiest ponies to ever live. Alive or dead. The list is including those in history. And you might be able to escape. But on your own without the rest of us." Twilight said, looking at some of her notes.
"It's possible, but we'll never know until the time comes."
As the sun finally disappeared into the horizon, it got impossible dark inside the mansion. It was almost darker than the color black itself. A few moments later, a grandfather clock began to chime. Twilight and Rarity illuminated the room with their magic and the motion detector began to chime, the flashing growing viral.
"They're already coming out." Rainbow Dash said.
"Stay close. We don't know if they'll do something to us."
The six ponies got close together. Applejack got behind Twilight while Pinkie Pie hugged Rainbow tightly but she made sure to allow the pegasus to still breathe normally. Fluttershy curled up in between the group, making sure that everyone was pretty much surrounding her with barely any openings. A small wind started and Twilight looked around. She swore she saw something looking at her a second ago.
"I WANT TO GO HOME!!!" Fluttershy screamed, grabbing Rarity from behind and hugging her, leaning on Rainbow Dash as well. Rainbow Dash put a wing around Pinkie Pie and the other around Fluttershy, trying to comfort them both as much as possible.
"Stay close, everyone. We don't know what's going to happen." Twilight said. Everyone got even closer together. The wind calmed down ever so slightly but the motion detector began to freak out and everyone grew even more scared.
"There are probably hundreds of spirits wandering and watching us right now for that detector to be going so crazy," Twi said. She then realized the warmth from Applejack by her neck was gone. She turned her head to the side and looked at where AJ had been.
"Guys? Where's Applejack?" Twilight asked. Everyone else immediately turned to where AJ had been mere moments ago. Applejack had disappeared without a trace.
