Fell Equestria: Morning (Twilight)

Twilight woke up and groaned. The dream she had had last night was very weird, and that version of herself looked really scary. She shoo the thought out, her body shuddering as she did as she got up and gasped. The room she was in was nothing like the room she remembered. The crystal walls were black and cracked, the curtains were raggedy and close. Her bookshelves were bare but yet clean. And the bed she was in felt hard and really uncomfortable.

"Spike!" called Twilight, her voice trembled when no reply came. What if this wasn't her room? What if she had been ponynapped?! "Spike please, please tell me that you're safe." Twilight heard a groan as a dragon with a slicked collar, sharp claws, scales, and teeth arose. He had green slit eyes that intimidated Twilight, and big wings. "S-,S-,S-,Spike?" asked Twilight. But this couldn't be Spike, this dragon was way taller and meaner-looking than her little Spike. So, who was this?

"Yeah, so what the hell do you want?" said the dragon. So this was Spike, Twilight backed away from him. How was this happening, what was this place?

"Wait a minute," said the dragon, Spike. "You're not Twilight. But yet you look like her." He cocked an eyebrow as Twilight approached the dragon, trembling in fear but determined to find out what was happening. Yet her hooves struggled to move even more closer than she was. What was wrong with her? She faced a giant centaur who stole magic. And when she was a unicorn she faced a demented alicorn, a Chaos God, a creature who could change into basically anything, and many more creatures like that, and she was scared of a dragon?

"Um, Spike," said Twilight. "If that's your name, do you know where we are and . . . I am Twilight. But how do you even know me?"

Spike looked at the alicorn. Then he charged at her and pinned her to the ground. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE REAL TWILIGHT?!" yelled the dragon. Twilight managed to teleport out of his grasp.

"Listen Spike, I'm the real Twilight, okay?" said the alicorn. "I don't know what's going on, and I really need to get home!" Spike slammed her on a wall then slammed her head on the wall, knocking her out.

Twilight awoke quickly, just in time to see the dragon scribble multiple papers, five to be exact, and sent them away with flames. Twilight tried to use her magic to teleport away, but couldn't. Fear filled her as she reached to touch her horn, feeling a magic brace in place. The dragon approached the scared alicorn and grabbed her.. She struggled to get free but wasn't strong enough to escape the dragon's strong grasp. He walked towards a door, on opening it were stairs descending to what appeared to be a basement. Darkness was what filled the room as The dragon used a collar he was apparently holding to tie around Twilight's neck and chain her on the wall.

"Spike why are you doing this? What's going on?!," asked Twilight scared. But the dragon gave no response as he walked upstairs and out of the basement. This gave Twilight a chance to look around, and what she saw made her gasp. The walls had stained blood, and there was a mixture of sky blue feathers, brown and light gray fur, and white and black hair. It looked as if someone had been tortured here. And to Twilight, it seemed as if it had been multiple ponies. Had Spike done this? No, there had to be some sort of explanation. But all she could do now was wait.

Fell Equestria: Morning (Fell Discord)

In the basement of a cottage, Discord lay on the floor, trying his best to get some sleep. He was chained to the wall, and most of his magic had been drained so escape was futile. His cheeks were stained with tears from all the crying he had done the previous night, especially after Twilight had mentioned his sister. Discord still remembered that day as if it were yesterday, when his sister had been killed by the so called, “Elements of Harmony.” What's worse is that his sister had sacrificed herself to save him because he was too weak to do anything, as he always was. And for what? His sister had died to protect him, yet here he was being tortured by the Elements of Harmony.

Why? What did he do wrong? Why was everyone so cruel and evil to him? Just because he looked different? Just because he was weak? Just because he didn't like to kill or hurt others? Those thoughts were what made Discord cry even more. "I really miss you sis," he sobbed. He wanted so badly to once again feel her arms wrapping around him as she protected him from the cruel world that wanted nothing more than hurt him. He wanted her to be by his side when he was scared, and for her to comfort him. But Discord knew well that neither he nor anyone else could bring his sister back from the dead. More tears fell down his cheeks as he winced in pain with every single breath he took. He just wanted to die already, to be with his parents and his sister. But the ponies or so called 'Elements of Harmony', as they call themselves, wouldn't let him die. They would just torture him till the end of time. Discord lay his head on his paw and talon, hoping that time would maybe finally be nice to him and let him die.

However, his ears perked up as the basement door opened, and light made its way into the cell. Discord tried to back away, but fear had frozen him as his captor, or owner, came towards him.

"How's my little pet doing?" asked Fluttershy in a mockingly sweet tone.

"I'm f-,f-,f-,fine," lied Discord as tears streamed down his cheeks, fear filling up inside him as the psychotic pegasus approved him.

"Well sorry, sweetie, but no breakfast today," said Fluttershy. "You ruined Twilight's birthday yesterday and that was very rude of you!" Discord still could remember the thousands of whips he had gotten the night before, and a whimper escaped from him.

"I'm s-,s-,s-,sorry Fl-,Fl-,Fl-, Fluttershy," said Discord. His ears folded backwards.

"It's okay, just don't do it again," said Fluttershy as she stroked his head and Discord jerked in fear and disgust. Before his sister's death, Fluttershy had manipulated Discord into thinking that she had feelings for him. And Discord believed it because she had been the only one, besides his family, to have shown him kindness. And for being so stupid his sister had died.

"Anyways," continued the pegasus. "I just got a letter from Spike saying that there was an emergency. Now since there is no one to take care of you, you're coming with me, understand? Unless you want to bother Princess Celestia with you being around her castle."

No, please not her. Please just let me be, cried Discord on the inside. But he nodded as Fluttershy unhooked his chain, and led him to the ruined and dark castle that towered over Ponyville.
