The Snowstorm..

I'm not sure how long we spent out there in the snow, It didn't take long though. All I know is it was cold and that my gut hurt a lot, but eventually we made out the outline of a building through the snow and I felt a new spark of hope. Maybe whoever lived there could help us out. I pointed it out to Doodle Sketch as it didn't look like she noticed it.

"There is a house over there!" I yelled, my voice barely audible over the blizzard.

"Let's hide there." Doodles said.

We began to move towards the house when the distorted sound of singing behind us made us stop dead in our tracks. My heart sank as I looked back and saw the white mare moving towards us, I also noticed the gleam of the knife that was sticking out of my guts less than an hour ago. I looked back at the house. It was our only hope, we had to get there or we were doomed.

"Doodles come on!" I shouted at the top of my voice.

"Ok." said Doodle Sketch.

We quickly moved through the snow in the direction of the house. When we got there I pounded the door but no pony answered. I tried the door knob but it was locked.

"We are so screwed!" I mumbled.

"Wait, I've got an idea?" Said Doodles.

Before I could ask what her plan was she took my kukri knife and threw it through the nearest window, we then clambered through and blocked it up with a near by shelving unit. I began to relax when a white unicorn at bottom of the stairs nearly made me scream. I then noticed she was almost as freaked out as we were. A grey earth pony stood next to her. I felt like I recognised them from somewhere.

"And who are you guys." Growled the unicorn.

"I might ask the same question." I said casually.

"I asked first." The unicorn said angrily, she wore a purple set of shades and the earth pony was wearing a bow tie. Judging by their cutie marks they were musicians of some kind.

"I'm Ex Plosion and this is Doodle Sketch, everypony calls her Doodles though." I blurted it out for some reason I'm not quite sure why.

"Heh, is that so. Well I'm Vinyl Scratch and this is Octavia, but please call me Vinyl." Said the unicorn in a much calmer tone than before.

"I need help." I croaked.

"Yes we can see that, there are some bandages in the bathroom upstairs, Octavia go get them." Said Vinyl Scratch.

"Are you sure about this Vinyl?" questioned Octavia.

"Yes I am now get the bandages!" Snappend Vinyl Scratch.

Octavia nodded and silently went upstairs to get the bandages I desperatley needed. After a while she came back with some and gave them to Vinyl, who then led me to the kitchen. While she applied the bandages we started talking.

"So why exactly did smash and barricade my window Ex Plosion?" Asked Vinyl Scratch.

"We were fleeing from a white mare, a unicorn, Oh and call me Ex, everypony else does." I said.

"So that's why you almost jumped out of your skin when you saw me Ex?" Said Vinyl.

"Yeah, I guess so." I said as I turned red from embarressment.

"Ok you should be fine now. Oh and take your knife thing." Vinyl said before giving me my kukri and leaving the room.

I stood silently in the kitchen for a while contemplating how it came to this before I decided to return to the sitting I had entered through. A wave of heat hit me like a train as I opened the door. I looked around the room, It had changed and it was empty. The floorboards were rotten and the furniture was completley destroyed. I looked through a hole in the wall as a look of confusion and fear appeared on my face. Snow wasn't falling anymore... Ash was...
