"Hey Snails, you think the boss is taking things too far?"
"What do you mean Snips?"
"Are you that dumb? Look outside!"
Outside the dome, it looked like a warzone. Within a few days Sunset Shimmer was not only destroying whatever was on the outside but was growing increasingly paranoid. Outside were craters and destroyed vehicles of different kinds. The military had to evacuate whoever was nearby and had to back away from a safe distance. But that didn't put Sunset's mind at ease. If anything it was getting worst.
Throughout the week she was getting nightmares that had that same girl who was counting down the days. One night she dreamed she was a unicorn back in Equestria falling off a cliff off of mount Aris. Another night she dreamed she was ran over by a stampede of horses. But no matter what she tried she couldn't get the mirror to open or even find whoever was causing these nightmares.
Sunset has lost track of days despite the call being about a week ago. She has completely lost her mind taking her rage out on whatever came close to the dome or anything that wasn't alive inside. She was currently in a classroom that had all it's desks destroyed and the chalkboard had doodles of her dreams on it. She was planning on visiting her prisoners but she knew it was best to let her lackeys make sure they were fed. "I don't understand it. Where is she really from? Where is she? Is she suppose to come? Will she attack me in my dreams even more?!"
She was about to throw another tantrum when suddenly she heard something. She looked and saw a computer monitor turn itself on. Curiously she looked toward it and then it showed an image of a well. The same well she saw on the tape. Sunset then picked up the monitor and threw it against the wall, destroying it. "I don't care who you are! You're not getting me."
She then flew through the halls only to hear static sounds on the intercom. It was steadily getting louder. Sunset thought her head was gonna explode. Out of fear she flew into another class room where there was a TV on a shelf trolley. She looked only to see it unplugged. She just leaned against the wall letting her body slide her down to a sitting position.
Then all of a sudden she heard static and the TV turned itself on to show an image of the well. Sunset was about to charge when she saw something new. A hand reaching out of the well. "What the?"
Suddenly she saw her. The girl from her dreams. Long black hair covering her face, a white dress covered in filth. She slowly emerged from the well and started to walk towards the screen. Sunset now found this amusing. "Oh what are you going to do? Break the glass? I'll help."
She attempted to break the screen with her fist but to her surprise it didn't break. She then picked up a meter stick nearby and swung it like a bat. It didn't even crack. Sunset was growing more nervous as the girl walked closer. She then saw the girl raised her hand and then a click was heard in the room. Sunset turned to the door and attempted to open it. It was locked. "HEY! Snips! Snails! Open this door!"
Sunset looked back at the screen and saw the girl raised both it's hands and then to her shock the hands came through the screen like it was made of water. Slowly and surely the rest of her slowly crawled out of the tv and on the floor on all fours. Sunset felt like she could over power her, destroy her, or anything of that nature. But for some reason she felt fear by looking at this girl as she got up on her two legs with water dripping from her hair and dress.
Then her head which was looking down the whole time raised up and it was there sunset saw her face. Her cold dead stare pierced through her soul like an arrow. Sunset no longer felt power or much of anything. All she could do was scream.
===============
Twilight and her friends awoke to the sound of the scream and immediately looked around and wondered what happened. A few moments later they heard the door to the basement open. They heard the sounds of bare feet stepping down the stairs as the little girl walked towards them. The six girls and dog were immediately petrified by this visitor. But the girl just walked behind them and immediately Twilight felt her tied up hands loosened as the girl undid the knots. "Who are you? What happened to Sunset?"
The girl said nothing and made a shushing gesture with her finger to her hair covered face. Instead of answering her she just turned and walked away. Twilight was about to follow her when she was interrupted. "Hey! What about us?" Snapped Rainbow Dash.
After all were untied they immediately left the basement only to find the students were no longer under mind control and were walking around confused. Twilight was just concerned about Sunset and the girl. She soon found Sunset in a classroom and gasped.
Sunset was not only back to a normal human but she looked so malnourished anyone can see the outline of her bones. She was barely breathing and her eyes were shot wide open and was rocking back and forth. She looked up to Twilight and handed her the crown. "Take it! Just take it and take that with you!"
She pointed to the TV that had a VHS tape sticking out of the VCR. On it were the words 'return to Equestria.' Twilight cautiously took it and looked back at the quivering wreck that was once the bully of CHS. Twilight turned to her friends who were making their way to her. Twilight didn't know what to do about this but then an idea struck her.
