Darkness in our hearts
By: flat spin
All six of them were walking through the Everfree forest towards the Nightmare mountains. Sun was slowly setting and night creepet in. Fluttershy was of course scared so she was walking right next to Twilight who was looking at the surrounding forest.
“What are you looking for Twilight?” Fluttershy asked as they were walking.
“I don’t know… I just have this feeling that we are being followed."
“Who would be following us in here?” Rainbow Dash asked and trotted next to them.
“I don’t know that either… just keep your eyes open. we have to go and set up camp at some point too.” Twilight said as sun set below the horizon.
They didn’t see the eyes who were following them in the shadows.
“What do you want to do to them?”
“What we always do. You three know what to do. I’m gonna distract them. If they don’t leave we have to take them to him.”
Then the eyes flew and ran off to the shadows. The six mares didn’t notice them. But after the last bits of the sun light had left the sky and the moon was fully up the path that they were walking came to a cross roads. one of the paths led to the mountains and one to the castle of the two sisters and one that they were walking on went to Ponyville. As they walked closer to the cross roads they could see a young yellow colt standing there. He didn’t look exactly happy or kind. he was missing one of his wings and he had a could stare.
“Umm excuse me. Why are you here during night. You know that little colts like you shouldn’t come to the Everfree forest to play. This is a dangerous place during night.” Twilight said as they walked in front of the colt. He was clearly young but still a bit older and bigger than the cutie mark crusaders.
“Go away.” He muttered angrily.
“What?” Twilight said and looked at her friends.
“Leave now. You shouldn’t be here.” He said with more anger.
“Ok firstly we are adults. Secondly you shouldn’t be here either… even less during night. and thirdly I think that you might have a small anger management problem.” Rainbow Dash said and walked up to him. The colt didn’t move at all. He just looked at her in anger.
“Leave now! you got until three.” He said. “One.”
“Or what are you gonna do?” Dash said and smiled.
“Two.” He said.
“You really think that we are scared of you?” Dash said and laughed.
“Three.” he said and gave her an evil smile. All the sudden Dash heard a noise come from behind her. She turned around and saw her friend had their hoofs tied together and their heads were in sacks.
“What the…” She turned back to face the colt but was caught by surprise as he was standing there with some rope.
“You wanna tie our own hoof together or do I have to do it?” The yellow colt said and smiled.
“You little brat come here.” Dash said angrily and tried to walk over to him but noticed that her hoofs were tied also.
“Sweet dreams.” the colt said and put her head in to a bag too. Dash couldn’t see anything but she heard ponies walking and she felt that she was being levitated by someone.
The other girls were too hearing footsteps as they were being levitated. Twilight tried to see out of the bag but it was useless.
After a good half an hour of being levitated and Twilight noticed that the ponies that were levitating them had stopped walking. All the sudden the six of them were dropped to the ground.
“Psst… Twilight. Whats going on?” Applejack said.
“I don’t know… Rarity could you try to levitate this bag out of my head.” Twilight said.
“I would if I could see.” Rarity said.
“No talking!” They heard a young filly’s voice.
They were laying on the ground for couple of minutes in complete silence until they heard couple of ponies walk towards them.
“Look six. I think me and my guys deserve something as a prize… since we are the best.” They heard the yellow colts voice again.
“I would reward you but I think that there is nothing that could satisfy your ego.” a adult stallion’s voice said.
“Come on… look two of them are earth ponies and two of them are pegasai and one unicorn.” The colt said.
“And what’s the sixth one. A griffon?” The stallion said and laughed. “You know you aren’t getting anything from me Goldie.” he said and laughed.
“What about if the sixth one was an alicorn?” He said. Silence fell upon the room. No one said anything for a moment.
“Take the bags off.” The stallion said nervously. All the sudden a lot more footsteps could be herd and the bags were pulled off. They could see over thirty small fillys and cots around them. they could not figure out where they were… it was some kind of cave that was full of crystals and small cottages. They could also see the Slightly older yellow colt standing next to a grey stallion who had a black mane.
“Oh no… this is bad… Golden Dash! do you have any idea what you have done?” The stallion said angrily.
“I defended our home from these invaders who didn’t want to leave.” He said proudly.
“That’s an alicorn!” The stallion said and pointed at Twilight. The six mares were just looking at the small colts and fillys around them.
“So what if she is an alicorn.” Golden Dash said.
“She is the one that our mother talked us about! And you went ahead and tied her up and brought her here!” The stallion said. “She could have come here alone or if you just had to bring her here you could have just given her an escort.”
“How was I supposed to know that." The colt said.
“Guess what? I can’t deal with you right now. Just go and secure the cave entrance with the others.” The grey stallion said.
“Okay…” Golden Dash said and left with six other colts.
“I’m terribly sorry about what has happened. Our mother said that you would be coming here but we weren’t expecting you to come so soon.” The grey Pegasus stallion said and continued. “Pleas free them this is not how to treat royal guests.”
“OK. firstly who are you and what the hell is happening?” Twilight said and stood up right after her hoofs were freed by a small unicorn colt.
“Well my name is Night Comet. And this is my family.” He said and kneeled down. All of the little cots and fillys followed after him and kneeled.
“Okay… this is more than weird.” Applejack said to Dash as the watched to scene happen.
