(This is a story from Twilight's point of view. Enjoy!)


I wake up and my head is throbbing. The last thing I remember is that I was at Sugarcube corner enjoying a cupcake with them... them... what are their names? I look down and I'm strapped down. I start to use magic, but it doesn't work. My powers... I can't use them... I look over and see the orange pony not strapped down and free. I look down at her cutie mark. Apples...Apple...Applejack! "Applejack! Help me! Please!?" She looked at me confused "Sorry, Sugarcube, but do I know ya?" It struck me as odd that Applejack, the truthful one, doesn't know me. Maybe that blow was really powerful... "Applejack, I'm Twilight. Twilight Sparkle." "Well, Twilight. I sorta remember you, but I guess I have to roll with it..." We heard something wierd in the distance. There was 2 doors, but the voice was getting closer. Then, the memories came back and all of the mane 6 was out. The voice was getting closer, it sounded rather angelic. Was it Fluttershy? I look over and see Flutter with Rainbow. The voice was at the back door unlocking it. Wait, I knew that voice... That was the voice of one of the best musicians in Equestria, Octavia. I looked around the room. Blood, manes, wings, amd horns. " Ok," I say, "We need to get out by that door right there." We all nodded in agreement while Rarity was being her freaking out. We finally got the door unlocked after about 10 tries. We were walking out the door into a hallway when Tavie came in. She looked astonished, but proceeded to say "Congratulations on figuring it out." The snide grin she gave told us to run. AJ, me, RD, Flutter, Pinkie, and then Rarity? Where is Rarity. Screams, "GO ON WITH OUT ME!" Rarity, no, not Rarity. We look back and see Rarity take her last breath. We see the blood run down her face and her hair messed up in her face. Tavie was slowly cutting away at her horn. POP! The horn fell off. A tear trickled down my face. Tavie was still cutting away at her skin. Flutter nuzzled Rainbow and cried. Rarity was gone, Flutter lost her best friend. Someone who stuck up for her was gone, but there was no time for tears they had to escape.  Ok, lets check the order. Me, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie. Flutter? She was no where to be found. I turned and saw her running at Rarity's body. "Flutter! No!" It was too late... She was reunited with Rarity.We heard her say, "It's ok guys. I'll be fine. I will be with Rarity... Who knows if you'll escape? Why wait to die?" She was right. Why wait to die if you're stuck in here? There has to be a way out, though. We heard Tavie walk up on Flutter and took the knife and ran it across her neck. The last thing we heard from Flutter was a melodic lullaby. "Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed" That was it she was singing us a lullaby. She wanted us to "sleep" like her and Rarity... (Ok, I literally balled at this part. So, if you hate me at this part its ok. It was really hard to kill her.)  I looked over 1 unicorn, 1 pegasus, and 2 earth ponies. If only I could use my powers... none of that would've happened. I look at Dash and say, "Dashie, are you okay?" She wiped away the tear that was falling down her face. "Yeah, if I could've flied then... then... Fluttershy would still be here! Don't you remember, god dammit! Twi, look, If Tavie didn't do this to people... No one would've died! I mean TAVIE, for god's sake! That bastard..." I look up to her "C'mon," I say while turning around, "We have to find a way out... unless Dash wants to fly out..." We walk out and look at the tunnels. "Ah. Gee." says AJ. We all nod in agreement and look. "Ok well. We need to go to that way." I say. We run/ hop down the hallway and heard a rumbling.  Let's check the order: RD. me and Pinkie. Aj was way behind. "Hurry!" I scream. She was running as fast as she can, but the rumbling was getting louder. Then, there was a laugh, not just any laugh, but Tavie's laugh. She was behind the crumbling and behind--- The wall crumbled down on Applejack and we heard her tell us "I really appreciate all of what you did to get out of here. Just tell Granny Smith that I'll see her soo---" That was it. Blood pouring out her head and on the ground. We were so close to get out and AJ had to go. How are we going to get out? Fluttershy's right. No, I have to get one of us out. It doesn't matter who get's out. We have to keep moving. It's not going to end. This is getting worse. (Pinkie's hair went flat.) Will one of us get out. Rainbow is freaking out. Why won't she tell me what's going on? She hasn't been acting normal, but nervous. She's up to something and I think that she came up with this. *CRASH* Knives? Knives falling out of the sky? Who comes up with that? We have to leave this hallway. Wait, there's an overhang a few yards ahead.  "C'mon!' I scream. Both Dash and I make it here, but Pinkie was getting stabbed repeatedly. She sounded hurt. Pinkie finally made it to the overhang and said as best as she could "Tell, Inkie. That I love her. And tell all of my best friends that are left I will see them very, very soon." Then, as best as she could she sang, "C'mon, everypony. Smile. Smile. Smiii---" That was it. I feel like she wants us to smile to get out. What was the song she sang once? Giggle at the ghosties? Maybe she wanted us to... Dash walks off. Should I follow her into that room? Wait, is that Tavie? She has been working with Tavie this whole time! Wait, there's the doorway out! I need to run! Ok Twi. You can do this! Go, go, go! 
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Dash, I should've known you were working with Tavie."
"Really? Didn't notice."
"How could you? I mean... Fluttershy?"
"She was supposed to get out. You were supposed to die."
"No."
"I killed the girl I loved. (Fluttershy) Now, you have to die..." She pointed her gun at me. "Goodbye, Twilight. Tell Flutter that I love her."
The last thing I saw was Dash walking out. Wiping away the tears on her face. Putting on a smile acting as if she didn't know anything. I choked out last words, "I loved you, Rainbow." She looked back and pulled the trigger again. Walked away into the bright light and flew away. Hoping to see Flutter again, someday.
