The Desecrated School

"Where are we, Princess?"

"We are in the Old school, Twilight." Celestia and Twilight were standing in an abandoned classroom, desks laying across the floor. Giant cobwebs hung from the ceiling, and a carpet of dust lay across the floor. Twilight looked around the room, glancing at everything that caught her eye. She saw something in the corner of her eye, but when she looked back, there was nothing. "Twilight, please pay attention, we need to find the others."

"Of course, princess." Shaking her head, she and Celestia walked out of the room into an old corridor. Blue candles, (a type of magic flame that burns forever), hung on the walls. As Twilight was walking, she had this nagging feeling that she was being followed, but when she turned around, she saw nothing. Must be my Imagination, she thought. As they walked, they saw several bones lying across the floor. Twilight carefully stepped over them, and continued onward. CRACK! Twilight and Celestia turned around and saw... nothing. "Princess?"

"I know Twilight." She saw a flicker of movement around the corner. "We're being followed."

Twilight stared down the hall, but she didn't see anything. Celestia silently beckoned, and Twilight followed. Together, they both walked backwards down the hall. They passed several doors along the way, but they just lead to empty classrooms. Twilight felt that presence from behind again, but she looked and saw nothing. She looked forwards and saw a shadow disappear around a corner. "Celestia?" said Twilight, who was quivering.

"It's okay Twilight, it's just the wind."

"What wind?" The hallways were cold as ice, but there was no wind whatsoever. "Princess, what do we do?" Just as she said this, dust started to lift from the ground. As it sped towards Twilight and Celestia, it slowly took a ghastly form,

It sped towards them, slowly growing larger. Celestia fired magic at it, but the magic just phased through. It sped towards them, a mouth full of razor sharp canines opening. As it was about to envelope Twilight, it disappeared in a ghastly scream. Twilight screamed herself, and broke into a dead run the opposite direction. "Twilight!" Celestia ran after her, but another ghost appeared. She reached to push it aside, but as soon as she touched it, she was filled with the cold of death. She jumped back, her hoof numb within a simple touch. As she backed up she heard a whooshing sound. She was instantaneously surrounded. She tried teleporting, but her magic didn't work. One of the ghosts lightly tapped her back legs, and she fell to her knees. The ghost in front of her slowly approached. Celestia glared up at the apparation that would be her demise.

It slowly extended its arms. Within its arms was a a child. A baby. It started to cry, and Celestia felt her power being drained, and couldn't keep her eyes open. She slowly started to loose consciousness as she heard a THUMP.

"This should be fun." AEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH! Celestia heard quick footsteps around her area, and felt her energy come back. She cracked open an eye. Ghosts were falling left and right. She opened them more, and saw what seemed to be Artorias, but he was wearing different clothes, and using a halberd? She couldn't stay conscious for long, and blacked out.

"Aww maaan, there goes my audience. Oh well, let's finish this." With a spin, the figure sliced all the ghosts in half, there screams echoing throughout the school. He slid his halberd onto his back, and stretched. He picked up Celestia, and started walking. "Hey, you coming?" With a yelp, Twilight fell out of the air vent he had fallen through previously. He slowly led Twilight deeper into the school.

Twilight ran, and ran, and ran. She was scared out of her wits, but as she ran, she crashed into something. Looking up she saw another figure like Artorias, but he was in different armor, and wielded a halberd, along with a shield made of glass. He looked down. "WHOA! WHAT THE--" Before he could finish, ghosts started to swarm the group. She instinctively went behind him, and he pulled his Halberd off his back. He dashed forward, and stabbed the nearest ghost. It fell into a pile off dust as he quickly cut down the other ones. After he eliminated all the others, he put away his halberd, and approached Twilight. She slowly started to back away. "It's okay. I won't hurt you."

"Ohh thank goodness. I couldn't run anymore."

"OH MY GWYN IT CAN TALK!"

"What?"

"Nothing. Who are you?" said the mysterios figure, who somehow got of the shock it just experienced.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle. Who are you?"

"My name is Hevlium."

"I'm the chosen Undead."

"Oh, okay. I'm the prize student of---PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!"

"Who?"

"She's a friend that I accidentally left behind."

"WHAT! We got to get to her fast, I doubt she could handle these ghosts as she currently is. Let's take the air vent." He pointed up, showing Twilight a duct in the roof. She nodded and charged up her magic. "Hey, what are you doing?" VOOM, PING! "That answers my question. Lets go." Together they crawled towards Celestia.
