Where are we now?

Applejack's breath slowly escaped her mouth. She was sitting in a cold room, with bars all around. She had been captured by Griffons. Next to her was a young mare, light yellow coat and a red mane. She had on a torn and ravaged bow in her mane and tail. "Sis, How long are we gunna be here?" She asked her sister. Applejack looked at her grimly, "Ah.. Ah don't know, Apple Bloom." She sighed, "Ah don't know..." Applejack's breath froze in the air and created a white cloud. She laid her head down and drifted into dream land.
Applejack awoke to a loud clang.
"NO! Get away from me!" Apple Bloom cried out, kicking the the griffons. Applejack got up, and bucked them in the face. "Get away from mah sister, ya varmints." The griffons grabbed Applejack, and restrained her.
"Let me go!" She yelled, seething with anger. They restrained Apple bloom as well, holding her down.
"Let mah sister go. Y'all can keep me here, if you let her go."
Apple bloom's eyes teared up. "no, sis. Its okay. We'll be here tog-"
Applejack took off her hat, and gave it to Applebloom. "No, You'll be safe. Go find Twi or Rainbow. They'll keep you safe." Apple bloom was taken out of the cell, and she was freed. Applejack laid on the cold, stone floor and she cried.
Once freed, Apple bloom ran to ponyville. She tripped halfway there, and she fell on her back. Looking up, she saw a mare looking down at her.
"Applebloom?" The mare said in a squeaky voice.
"Sweetie Belle?" Apple bloom said, "Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom hopped up and gave her friend a hug.
"Ah haven't seen you since the war started!" Looking behind her friend, she saw 3 mares.
"Apple Bloom!" One called out. It was a cyan pegasus, with a short Rainbow mane and tail.
"Rainbow! Fluttershy! Scootaloo!" The 5 ponies proceeded to have a group hug.
"We heard you were captured, and we were on our way to come get you. Where's Applejack? And why are you wearing her hat?" Fluttershy asked,
Applebloom just looked down. He eyes watered up.
Fluttershy covered her mouth, "I... I'm sorry. We should have come sooner."
Applebloom looked up without moving her head. "No, there is nothing to be sorry about. It was her decision." Scootaloo gave Applebloom a hug.
"It must be hard, I feel your pain. Loosing a family member is tough."
Sweetie nodded. "Where's Rarity, Sweetie?" Sweetie Belle teared up more than Apple bloom, and she started to cry.
"It seems this war has taken so much away from us. And sometimes, we can't get it back." Rainbow said.
"sunshine, Sunshine! Ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!" Twilight chanted, doing the steps with a pitch-black filly with purple hair. They feel onto their backs, laughing. They were in Canterlot, safe from harm. Twilight was now an alicorn and she had a daughter.
"Nyx, I just want you to know that I love you."
Nyx giggled, "You tell me that everyday, mommy." Twilight got up, and the filly flew onto her back.
"I know, but I just keep reminding you, so you never forget." The doors slammed open, Shining Armor ran into the room. "Twilight," He stopped in front of his tall sister. "There have been sightings of your friends, they were on their way to ponyville."
Twilight smiled, "Thank goodness they're o-" She was cut off by Shining Armor.
"But Rarity has died and Applejack was captured."
Twilight hung her head low. "O..oh.." She sniffled.
"Twilie, you need to do something about this. Don't just sit here and watch ponies die!" Shining said. Twilight stood up,
"It's not like I wanted this to happen!" she yelled at her brother.
"Still, Twilight! YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!" Shining was standing up as well.
"I never wanted to have so much responsibilities! Celestia just gave me her powers, and then she took off! SHE PUT ME IN CHARGE JUST BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS!" Twilight was putting all her anger for Celestia onto Shining Armor.
"WHAT ABOUT NYX? WOULD YOU JUST SIT THERE AND LET HER DIE?" Shining yelled.
Twilight even more angrier. She was lifted into the air, her eyes turned white and she used her Royal Canterlot Voice.
"DO NOT BRING MY DAUGHTER INTO THIS! SHE DID NOT DO ANYTHING!" Shining armor backed away.
"I AM THE ONE WHO RAISES THE SUN AND MOON! I AM NOT YOUR SISTER ANYMORE, I AM YOUR LEADER!"
Shining looked worried, "TWILIE, THIS ISN'T YOU! YOU WOULDN'T JUST LET PONIES DIE! YOU WOULDN'T NOT BE MY SISTER!" Twilight's eyes returned to normal and she fell from the air. Shining caught her in his arms. She had passed out from overdose of magic. Shining Armor took her to her bedroom and tucked her in.
"Goodnight, Little Sis." He said turning out the lights.
Pinkie Pie tied a rope to the ceiling. She made a knot, a knot to hang herself.
"Good-bye equestria. Good bye Inkie and Blinkie. Good bye Rainbow, Fluttershy, Twilight, Applejack, and rarity. Good bye..." Pinkie had streams of tears going down her cheeks. "Mommy and Daddy." She put her head in the ring of rope, and she kicked the stool under her. Her face turned red and she gagged. A loud CRACK signaled her neck had broken. Her cold body hung from the ceiling.

Nyx is a filly that Twilight takes care of in the story 'Past Sins'

Princess Twilight

Twilight woke up to the sound of a scream. She jumped out of bed. She walked out of her room and looked around, just a dark hallway. She started walking down it, but she heard a voice.
"Twiiillliiiggghhhtttt"
She froze her movements. A dark figure appeared in the shadows, But Twilight couldn't make out who it was. The figure stepped into the moonlight. Twilight shook all over, she couldn't breath.
"Are you ok?"
The figure was Nightmare Moon, her worst enemy. She had been so afraid of her, afraid of her own daughter. She couldn't take it, it was too much. Tears started forming in her eyes.
"Are you okay, Mommy?" She said in Nyx's voice, grinning a very creepy smile."Are you ok-" Her voice trailed off. Twilight looked around as the ceiling, walls, and floor were falling. She screamed as Nightmare Moon lunged at her as they fell through nothingness. Nightmare Moon caught her, and cradled her in her arms.
"I love you, mommy." she said as she smiled a genuine smile. Twilight hugged back, she shouldn't be afraid of her own daughter. "Time to wake up." She said. Twilight looked up at her daughter, she was still smiling. "Time to wake up now, wake up Mommy..."
Twilight sat up out of bed. She reubbed her eyes and yawned. He daughter was on her lap, bouncing up and down. "Time to wake up, Mommy! Time to wake up!" Twilight giggled.
"Stop bouncing and go eat breakfeast." A fimiliar voice said. Twilight froze as a white alicorn entered the room. Nyx happily went out of the room, and the white alicorn closed the door. Twilight laid her ears back and growled. "What are YOU doing here?" She asked through her clenched teeth.
Celestia looked at Twilight. "I understand that you might be angry with me, but I want to make it up to you." Twilight teleported out of bed. She lifted her hairbrush and started brushing her hair.
"You can never make it up to me. Leaving your whole kingdom to your student just so you don't have to deal with a war?" Twilight said calmly. She slammed her hairbrush down on the vanity, making the mirror crack. "SELFISH!" She yelled. Celestia stepped forward, putting her wing around Twilight. Twilight refused it, and started to open the door.
"Twilight Sparkle, do not walk out on-" The door slammed. Twilight walked down the hallway, ignoring Celestia. Shining Armor saw Twilight walking down the hall, he looked worriedly towards his sister.
"I guess you've seen her." He said, walking up to her. "Why is she here?" Twilight said, unfurling her wings. "She came back last night, Spike is back too." Twilight lit up, "Spike is back? I missed my number one assistant!" She quickly tortted down the hall, and into the dining room.
"Twilight!" A baby purple dragon got down from his chair and hugged Twilight. Twilight gave a hug back. "I've missed you, Spike. I really did." Celestia came walking down the hall. Twilight got up and sat down at the table next to Nyx, waiting for her food to arrive.
"Twilight Sparkle, I just want to talk." Celestia said, sitting down across from her. "I'd rather not talk to you." Twilight said as she watched a steamy bowl of oatmeal in front of her. Celestia had a very stern look on her face, it made Nyx feel nervous.
"Mommy, will you just talk to her?" She said, looking at her mother swallow a gulp of juice. "No. I refuse to talk to her." She put a spoonful of oatmeal in her mouth. "C'mon Twilight! She's your teacher. Just talk." Spike said with a mouthful of gemstone oatmeal. Twilight glared angrily into the eyes of Celestia.
"She is NOT my teacher anymore."
This made Celestia look surprised. "I--.. I--..." Celestia choked on tears. "I'll be in my room." She stood from the table and quickly trotted to her room. Spike glared at Twilight. "Twilight, what was that for? She comes back from fighting a war and you yell at her like that?"
Twilight watched as Spike left the table. "I'm going to got comfort her." he said before storming off. Twilight looked at Nyx. "I, uh, I think it's time for my magic lessons." Nyx said, getting down as well and walking off.
Twilight's eyes filled with tears. A hoof was placed on her shoulder, she looked behind her. "Twilight Sparkle, I thinkth you may need to talkth to her." Princess Luna said. Twilight looked at Luna. "I... I can't."
Celestia was laying on her bed, crying her eyes out. Her door opened, Spike walked in with Nyx. "Princess Celestia, we came to comfort you." Celestia smiled at the two children. They climbed on her bed and Celestia put her wings around them.
Luna entered the room. Celestia got out of bed, and went up to her sister. "I really need to talk to Twilight now. May you bring her here?" Celestia asked.
Luna looked away, "Well sister, It seems that Twilight Sparkle has left. She went to go find her friends and asked me to take care of Miss Nyx and Spike. She won't be coming back."
