==================Ditzy Do==================

I was flying as fast as I could. Daring didn't live far from Ponyville, about a 20 minute flight... For a good flyer, something I'm not. After losing my way one or two times... two or three times, I finally made it to the train station.

What I saw there scared me, two royal guards talking to Cherliee and Bulk Biceps. They both had tears in their eyes. I looked at the crowd of foals and parents alike, all concern. I looked around and I couldn't see Dinky anywhere.

I started to walk up to the guards. Cherliee saw me and came over, tears in her eyes.

"Ditzy I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry," she said crying more now.

"Cherliee what happened? What's wrong."

"Dinky is gone. She just vanished in the middle of the night."

I stood there in shock, my daughter is missing. I started to cry, I couldn't stop crying. One of the guards walked up.

"Ms. Do, I can insure you that we will find your daughter," he said.

Bulk looked at the guard. "Show her," he demanded.

"Mr. Biceps, that is something that she cannot he-"

"Show her! My son is gone too, and if she can make any sense of what it is, it can help find them!"

"Show me what?" I asked.

The other guard pulled out a plastic bag, inside it was a piece of paper with an odd symble on it. I stared at the paper for a long time, the suddenly words appeared on it. You Breath The Air That We Breath. You Walk On The Same Ground We Walk. Yet, You Cannot See Us. You Cannot See Our Plans. You Cannot See Your Own Downfall. It startled me. What was it saying. I looked around, everypony looked at me odd.

"I... I have no idea what to make of this," I said. Then I went home and cried in my bed. Later on I called Daring and told her to come down. I need her help. Maybe Royal could even help me.

=============== Daring Do===============

Royal and I flew to Ponyville. Ditzy needed me and I was going to help her. Royal wasn't sure why he was coming, but I think Ditzy needs some moral support so Royal is coming along to help.

I knocked on Ditzy's door, she opened it tear stains on her face. "Come in, sorry to bother you."

"It's no bother sis. Now, what's wrong," I said.

"Dinky went missing and there is no trace of her."

"Oh no," I gave her a hug. "Don't worry she'll be found."

There was a knock at the door. I was still hugging Ditzy as she cried, so I gestured to Royal to get it. Royal opened the door and standing there was a massive stallion.

"Exuse me, is Ditzy Do home?" he asked.

"Yes, but she really not in a visitors mood," Royal told him.

"No, it's fine. Come in Bulk Biceps." Ditzy said as she moved away from the hug. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"What did you see on that paper?" Bulk asked.

"What paper?" Royal asked.

"The only trace of evidence that was found was a piece of paper with a strange symble on it." Ditzy told us.

"Yes, and you saw something else on it Ditzy. What? Please tell me, my son, FeatherWeight, is also missing and if there is some lead on where he is, I need it."

"It said something about creatures in our world that we can't see and their plans to... to..." Ditzy stopped talking and stared in horror behind Royal.

=============Ditzy Do==============

The creature was tall, very tall. Its body was black, it had a very muscular build, it stood on two legs and had massive arms. It's head was the worst part, a mouth with massive teeth took up the intire face. It looked ready to attack Royal. Nopony else could see it but me. "Royal look out!!!!" I yelled as it arm swiped Royal away. He hit the wall with a thud. Bulk turned and punched where the swip came from and hit the creature. It stumbled and came in to view so everypony else could see it. Royal tackled it and together they pinned it. Bulk held it still. Royal rushed in to the kitchen and came back out with a knife. He buried it deep in to the monsters head. It stopped moving, Bulk got off of it. All three of the looked at me. Confusion in their faces. I started to cry. I cried because I knew what ever that thing was, there's more of them and they have my daughter.
