Equestria Missing

Chapter 1: Waking up

DAY 1, 11:52 AM FLARE'S HOUSE

It was a typical sunny day in Cloudsdale, well I wish I could say that... but I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Rainbow Flare I am Rainbow Dash's brother, well used to be. Getting ahead of myself again, anyway I am not really a pony you would call noticeable I didn't get my colours until I was about five years old, I was separated from my family at birth, it was only until about last year my mane went from a dark grey colour to red and blue, of course its not rainbow but I guess that's what happens when you get separated from your family and don't know who gave birth to you until only 2011. so that's pretty much me in a nutshell where was I? When I woke up I was drenched in sweat, "Oh man, nightmares" I got up and went to my kitchen hoping I remembered to get some Hay while I was at the market the day before, but that was when I realised something, "Darn, I didn't get my Hay" okay that and I live in a more busy part of Cloudsdale so it was unusual that I didn't hear a peep from outside. I glanced at my clock it read 11:52 AM, "That's odd" I said to myself, usually I would be up at rush hour which was 7:52 AM, from all the noise coming from outside, I checked my calender to make sure I wasn't spending my time inside on a day off from the weather factory. "What the hell?" my calender didn't show anything with a day off noted on it, either I was late for work or there was a party and I wasn't invited, so I headed off to where I worked and that was in the Lightning and Thunder department. Nobody was there, not even my friend Snowfire, he did work in the snow department but since it wasn't winter it would've been pointless so he did thunder and lightning as a side-job. Confused I decided to look around at the other departments, Rainbow Factory was empty, Rain Factory was empty, Cloud Factory was empty, "SCREW THIS! Why am I the only one here?" I decided that being at the factory was a waste of time so I decided to go to Ponyville to visit fluttershy, "Hopefully she can console my lonely self".


DAY 1, 12:30PM PONYVILLE


I landed in Ponyville, hoping I would get greeted by Pinkie pie, but no such luck. I thought I saw something past the fountain but on closer inspection, it turned out to be just a rock, I proceeded to Fluttershy's but her house was pretty much empty other than her furniture and belongings I didn't see anypony or anyone in sight, her animals were gone too.
"What's going on? This isn't right, where is everypony?" nervously I kept looking around to see if anyone would show themselves but they didn't. the boarded windows made me even more curious "What's happened?".





After some further investigation of Ponyville I walked past the Carousel Boutique toward another friends house, it had only been an hour since I had woken up and I was just on the verge of tears, I've never been so alone before I think if anyone could cure my loneliness it would be Araagonn Stryder. he owned an apothecary just two doors down from Rarity's place and he was friendly when it came to somepony that was sad, but then again so was Fluttershy, I wondered why she wasn't there. when I got to his store I heard a voice from inside, but his door was locked well I guess some ponies need some privacy from time to time, but still worried i knocked on the door, no one answered I knocked again, once again no one answered, getting worried for my friends safety I busted down the door. I studied my surroundings and heard the voice coming from the room in the back, when I peeked around the corner i saw an empty study room with an alchemy table, a workbench and a radio, the voice was coming from it, it was just a song playing. Disappointed, I turned off the radio "This isn't right, he never leaves his store". It was true he really never did, his house was right next to the workshop I was standing in, I felt a touch on my right shoulder causing me to turn around in a fit of panic, and then a sharp jab into my back left hoof "OW!" I turned around again but no one was there, I said to myself that I was clearly going insane and my dizziness confirmed my suspicion, I looked at my hoof and saw it was bleeding, "Argh, what pricked me? oh well I think my constant investigating has driven me to insanity and I clearly need some sleep" well so I hoped.


DAY 1, 6:59 PM FLARE'S HOUSE


I was feeling sick, maybe it was from the fact I didn't have anything to eat all day, my thoughts were not confirmed when I later threw up blood onto the floor, my head was hurting, my legs ached and I couldn't stop coughing, maybe I was drugged?
how would I know? then I remembered earlier that I got pricked by something, maybe someone injected me with some sort of neurotoxin. I wouldn't know, because I passed out before I could conclude anything.


DAY 2, 6:30 AM FLARE'S HOUSE


When I opened my eyes, my whole body was aching, I laid in a pool of blood... my blood, I tried to stand but my loss of blood left me laying there, wishing someone would come to my aid I... I started sobbing softly "Somebody please..... What do I do now?" roughing up the courage to stand up and look in a mirror left me wondering even more, so I stood up slowly and went to my bathroom, of course it felt like forever because I was limping toward it, my stomach growled, "Now i'm really hungry". but that had to wait, I had to see what caused the huge puddle of blood in the middle of my bedroom, my hooves left traces of blood everywhere I stepped, the smell of it made my head hurt more than it did already, but I ignored it and went to the mirror, I had cuts all over myself, blood across my mouth, and my mane went from dark grey, blue and red, to just the solid dark grey colour. "What the hell happened?" Equestria was missing I was all of a sudden coloured back to before I even got colours and I passed out last night. Something is happening in Equestria and I'm gonna find out what happened.


DAY 2, 6:57 AM CLOUDSDALE


After cleaning up my blood, I gathered some supplies, food, drink, etc. And I set out hoping to find some answers, seeing as no one was around to change the weather it was a pretty average day, I started at the weather factory, It was dark, I supposed the power was out because the lights wouldn't turn on. "Damn, they were working yesterday". I had a torch in my saddlebag, of course it was hard to hold on the account of not having something known as fingers, Twilight gave me this hour long lecture on something called a human, thinking back on this made me slightly happier, I wasn't in love with her, I just loved the way she said this kind of stuff it always made me make a slight snicker. The low-light beam of my torch made the place ten times creepier, I'd always constantly check over my shoulder to see if anything was behind me, I always had a slight sense of paranoia in dark places, I always saw something move out of the corner of my eye which increased my paranoia more, approaching the rainbow factory I looked to my left as I saw something move past the corner. "H-Hey! WAIT!" I Yelled to the unknown entity, but to no avail, I quickly rushed around the corner to see if it left, but then a blinding light met me, "ARGH!" I was left stumbling as my head hurt, and my eyes burn. I felt around for the wall, I eventually found my bearings and headed home.


DAY 2 7:30 PM FLARE'S HOUSE


My legs ached, my eyes burned, my hooves stung, and I felt tears under my eyes, well at least I thought they were tears, ignoring it I wiped it away and went to my bedroom and sat down. They always said to keep yourself occupied whilst you're alone so you don't think about others. Unfortunately without anyone in Equestria, it was hard to keep my emotions at bay. I started crying, the smell of blood filled my nostrils again, I wiped my eyes and look at my hoof, it was blood, I rushed to the mirror to see what was happening. My eyes, they were bleeding black voids. How I could see out of them was beyond me, my mane had gotten darker, almost black even, just looking at myself made me want to cry even more, I was about to burst into tears when I heard something from my kitchen. "Huh?..." Not knowing what to think I just hoped it was someone I knew "D-d-......Dashie?". No response, I tried another friend of mine "Solaris?". Still no response I wanted to go check it out but my concious got the better of me, I decided to close my bathroom door and stay there until morning.


DAY 2 9:29 PM FLARES HOUSE


With nothing to do my emotions got to me, I sat there crying for at least three hours, drops of blood on the floor kept worrying me. I've never been so lonely because Fluttershy or another nice pony was there to fill that hole of emotions in my heart.

Later I fell asleep...
