~~Chapter 7~~
=Twilight’s POV=
I sit looking at my hooves. “I...why has the world come to this? Where is Spike, why?!” I say through gritted teeth I sniffle and wipe my eyes. I..I need to be a leader. The group needs me.
I look back at Pinkie whilst I trot along Fluttershy’s cottage looking for some sort of food. I
Trot around. “Rainbow, Applejack, how are you girls doing up there?” “We’re fine, we can’t find any darn food ‘round here.”
“We may want to hurry, we don’t want to be occupied here too long. I fear of what may come at us.” Rarity says on her way upstairs.
I look ever at Fluttershy who is sitting in a chair, tears streaming down her face. “Are you alright Fluttershy?” I ask worried. “I can do this..on..on my own, you leave me alone! I don’t need any of your help!”
I open my eyes at the sudden outburst. I turn my head away “I...I’m sorry. I..I jus-”
She is interrupted by the sound of shattering wood panic arises within me. I look to the right to see Walkers busting through the door.
Applejack runs up from behind my with her hacksaw and starts slicing at the undead ponies one swipes at her and she jumps back. “Uhh, we are goin’ to be needin’ some help y’all, they’re bustin’ in!” she says with a slight worried tone
I grab my gun and look at the amount of ammunition left. None. The clips are gone?! “Shi-” I begin to say but am interrupted by Fluttershy running and knocking me to the side.
“How could you hurt him.....you..you MONSTERS?!” she screams swinging the knife back and forth, slicing the undead ponies’s heads one by one. I stare wide eyed at the enraged Fluttershy. “YOU SICK BASTARDS!” She screams as she pulls a bloody knife out of a Walker’s head
“These guys just don’t quit!” I hear Rainbow. I grab a nearby kitchen knife with my magic as I turn around to see Rainbow and Pinkie fighting the undead coming from the other side of the cottage. Feeling useless I run up to help. I stab a Walker in the brain and pull my knife out. Blood and gore spraying across my face.
Thinking of an idea suddenly, I look to a kitchen drawer, I run over and open until I find a drawer of knives. I use my magic to grab all the knives out of the drawer that my magic can hold. I hover them at the door and yell “Duck everypony!” I throw half of the knives towards the front and the rest towards the back. I hear the sickening thuds of bodies hitting the ground. I then turn to see a small clearing behind the undead shoving their way into the cottage.
“Come here everypony! We’re going to teleport out of the house while we can!” I say seeing a small chance. Everyone huddles around me and I conjure up my magic, seeing a purple flash I open my eyes to see us outside of the cottage. I turn towards the Everfree forest. “Run!” I yell sweat beading into my eyes. We enter the forest to see more undead everywhere, but these aren’t ponies, but Birds and Bears. I turn to look at the girls following behind me.
I see Rainbow Dash start to flap her wings and get into the air. Rainbow Dash flies high in the air and yells. “Get down everypony!!!” We all duck. She then flies towards the ground at lightning speed, a loud crash can be heard as she does a Sonic Rainboom close to the ground, the undead bears stop in their tracks and fall to the ground, the hawks cease to fly as their wings burst into different chunks, I see a bears brain, a pile of mush lying on the ground.
I look up at Rainbow Dash who pulls up at the last second, bright Rainbow trail behind her. I look at he as she dashes down the forest path and near some trees “RAINBOW!!” Pinkie screams as Rainbow Dash attempts to dodge an incoming tree. She couldn’t turn enough as the tree came into full contact with her wing.
An audible SPLSHHH is heard along with a cry that sounded of pure pain. Rainbow Dash crashes into the ground. The tree is shattered and lying a couple feet away from the bloody cyan pegasus, the blood is around the entirety of the tree. Rainbow Dash crashes into the ground. We all stare wide in horror as we look at Rainbow Dash lying on the ground, wing, lying several yards away from where it is supposed to be, in pieces.
We all stand in shock at what just happened. Did...did Rainbow just loose her flight?
How..how.....w..will she react?! She will quit, flying is her life....
“Pick her up! Walkers are closing in!!” Rarity cries out interrupting my thoughts. I gallop foreward and grab the unconscious Rainbow maned mare. We start turning to go more into the Everfree forest as more Walkers are heard stumbling along behind us. Panic arises within me as I walk I hear the sound of the horde of Walkers getting steadily closer.
I can use my magic beams, they won’t be strong, I don’t have enough energy for that, but I may be able to stun them. I set Rainbow Dash down and charge up my magic. Purple beams of light are shot at several walkers, the walkers merely blinked a couple times and continued on. This.....it’s useless, we’re only delaying the inevitable. We will all....die!Hopeless ness floods my brain.
I pick Rainbow Dash up as I imagine all the ways we’re going to die. My eyes are suddenly full of tears. The sound of blood and bodies hitting the ground are audible over the throbbing.
The world is a blur as I see the shapes of what I believe to be Rarity, Applebloom, and Scootaloo walking along, protecting me as I dragged Rainbow along. Her blood staining my hooves and my chest. “Don’t die Rainbow, please don’t die on me!!!” I say through my heaving breaths.
I turn around to see even more walkers than when we entered the forest. I look ahead to see Zecora’s hut. Rarity gallops forward and slams her hooves against the door. “Zecora!! We...we need help!” she says “Rarity leans against the door and it opens abruptly, Rarity falling on the ground at the zebra Zecora’s hooves. I look at Zecora to see her holding a small gun, a suppressor on the end. Her eyes full of tears, she runs out, she opens fire on the Walkers, silent, eyes having a haunting look within them. She turns to look at the dying Rainbow Dash.
“Get her off of her knees, for my treatment is what she needs.” She says, in her enchanting voice, which seems unusually empty. I walk foreward but find myself unable to move. I look down to see a vine wrapped around my body. It reaches to my throat and I struggle. Zecora rushes over and attempts to move the vine. It wraps around my throat and my world begins to dim. I attempt to scream, but can’t find the air. Suddenly I am met with the ground, then darkness.
