Twilight jerked awake.

She gasped.  Breathing in and out rapidly, she turned her ears to point forward and back.  Back and forth, over and over.  Did something make a noise?  Did something move?  Did something touch her?

Nothing.  Darkness.  Silence and her own breathing.

When did she fall asleep?

How long had she been under the ground?

Would she ever be free?  Was she still being chased?

Twilight crawled forward another inch.  All she had to do was make it to Canterlot.

Make it to the princesses.  She could do it.
