When Twilight woke up, her ears were met with whispers. She only heard soft, ghost-like whispers. They were too soft to understand, but too loud to miss. And it was cold. Freezingly cold. But it wasn't painfull or disturbing. It only made her feel... uneasy.

'Where am I?' She opened her eyes and was met with darkness. Pitch-black neverending darkness with the occasional wave of fog. She tried to lift her hooves into her vision, but she noticed her whole body felt heavy. As if a unseen force was pushing her to the ground. Breathing was heavy too.

'What's going on?' She slowly lifted her hoof into her vision, and she could see it perfectly fine. There was no source of light to be seen, but she could see everything just fine. Well, if there was anything at all, she would be able to see it. But that was the problem. The only things in this seemingly endless darkness were the occasional waves of fog and herself.

'This isn't Canterlot!' She tried to stand up, but the pressure on her body only increased. In the end, she was only able to get on her stomach. The whispers increased with speed and volume. They also sounded angry. And sad. It was confusing, to say the least. Suddenly, a loud screeching noise sounded through the darkness. It sounded like a bunch of agonizing screams. And it hurt her ears. She thought it would go on forever...

"IIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRGGGGAAAAAAAAAA-

... when it stopped just as suddenly as it started. The noise had left a painfull ringing in her ears. The whispers had intensified again, and she was almost able to make out what they were saying.

"...ain...eath...ness...fea...nger..."

She lifted her head and looked around, hoping to find the source of the whispers.

"Hello?" No response, except for the whispers.

"...ie...lea...go...ow...on't..."

"Is anypony here?" Still no response. The whispers intensified.

"...You...owers...not...is...ca...fool..."

"I know you're here!" She noticed the pressure had lowered and stood up, walking towards where she thought the whispers were. The fog grew in size, making the black darkness seem grey. She stopped walking when she was sure she saw something. And two purple eyes looked back, staring into her eyes.

"..The End...beginning...foolish...die...must...meddling...cease..."

"What do you mean? I can't understand you!" She started walking towards the eyes, determined to find out what's going on. The closer she got to the eyes, the further away they seemed. She increased her pace, as did the eyes. She started running, the eyes were still moving away.

"Give up...can't...away...Endermen...you...kill..."

The whispers were closing in on her, sounding outraged. She started galloping, finally catching up with the eyes. But the whispers kept growing more intense, turning into screams.

"You can't escape..."

Her breathing turned ragged, her throat dry and painfull. She was getting closer to the eyes. But it started to feel like it was the other way around.

"Your magic won't controll our powers..."

Her legs started to hurt and her breathing became more ragged, but she was getting closer to the eyes. They seemed bigger then she first thought.

"You are not allowed to meddle with our kind."

The eyes were a lot bigger then she thought now getting rapidly closer. She slowed down a bit, her throat feeling like sand.

"We are not to be taken lightly."

She stopped moving completely when she noticed more purple glow surrounding the purple eyes. She could vaguely make out a pair of immense wings.

"YOU WILL PAY."

"GRUWWOOOAARRGGG!"

A purple glow came from the eyes's body. It was a dragon. It was larger then any regular dragon, and it's ribs were visble. Not because it was skinny or because it was wounded. No. It was because there was barely any skin at all. The only skin it had was on it's head, wings, legs and tail. It roared again, showing her it's teeth. It's huge, sharp and ragged teeth, dripping with saliva. The whispers were gone, and this creature had come to replace them. It dived for her with immense speed, despite it's huge body. She started running. She noticed her face was wet. Had she been crying? She hadn't noticed.

"*CRASH!*"

She looked back, expecting to see the creature right behind her, ready to crush her between it's jaws. But there was nothing there. No insane bloodthirsty dragon, no whispers, nothing. It went from insane to quiet. Too quiet.

"H-hello?" She felt the ground tremble beneath her hooves, and she didn't like it. White cracks started appearing in the black floor beneath her, the trembling increasing. It started increasing rapidly, the ground starting to fall apart. Suddenly, the ground exploded upwards, an enorrmous mouth appearing below her. It shot towards her, the dragon catching her in it's mouth.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"


"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"Twilight! Calm down!" She heard a voice. It sounded familiar. Where was the dragon?

'Who is that? Where am I? Am I dead? HELP!' She franticly flailed her hoofs around, hitting everything in reach.

"TWILIGHT! It's me! Shining!" She looked to her left, seeing her brothers face.

"S-s-shining?" She visibly calmed down, but her breathing was unstable and ragged, tears rolling down her face. "Where am I? What happened? WHERE IS THE DRAGON?!"

"You're in the Royal Hopsital! You were attacked by a spider, remember? And what dragon? Spike is still in Ponyville and I don't remeber any other dragons." He looked at her confused. How could he have missed such a big dragon!

"Oh, hehe, you know." Her eye started twitching, a small, fake and creepy smile appearing on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"THAT HUGE BLACK DRAGON THAT ALMOST ATE ME JUST NOW?!"  She yelled in her stupid brother's face, shaking him back and fro.

"There was no dragon!" He yelled back, grabbing her shoulders. "It probably was just a bad dream! And will you calm down? You're not supposed to be this active for at least another two days!"

'Wait, if that was a dream... How long was I out!?'

"How long was I out?"

"Almost a day." He let her go, probably thinking she had calmed down.

'Oh, I'm calm alright. Never been better.'
