Zecora's pov
----------------
I awoke in the middle of the night to hear screaming coming from outside in the forest. I walked outside to see a small filly being chased by some larger pony that seemed to go without a face.

Suddenly the screams from the small pony ceased and the forest went quiet and the two ponies were gone.

Apple Bloom’s pov
-----------------------
I was out of town for the day with my family and Sweetie Belle’s family when we returned we immediately went to visit Scootaloo. Her parents said she had run away and that they were worried, they didn’t seem to be all too worried in my opinion though.

Sweetie Belle said she would have come to us if she needed our help but I refused to believe she wouldn’t have already and who’s to say she didn’t while we were gone for the day. Sweetie Belle and I parted ways and as I was walking home I thought about it and realized that if Scootaloo had run away she would have tried to go somewhere and since neither Sweetie Belle nor I were at home when it happened she must have gone to somepony else’s house.

I went to Rainbow Dash’s house and asked her if she had seen her, but she hadn’t. Next I went to see Pinkie Pie to ask if she had seen Scootaloo, alas she didn’t either. I went and saw Fluttershy, but she didn’t see her either. Finally I went and saw Twilight but she said she hadn’t even been outside in three days so there was no way she could have seen her since then.

I was ready to give up and started walking home but instead of returning home I took a right turn and headed towards the Everfree forest, I figured if there were anywhere else she would go it would have to be Zecora’s. When I reached the edge of the forest it the sun was still a few hours from setting. I walked straight towards Zecora’s hut and knocked on the door.

Zecora was as clueless as I was about Scootaloo’s location, but she did tell me that she saw and heard that even she thought was unusual last night, and I realized that the mysterious filly she saw could have quite possibly been Scootaloo, but who was the other pony she saw and what did they do to the filly they were chasing.

I realized it was getting late and I told Zecora I had to leave. I walked out and the sun was just setting so I started running, but after I had ran more than long enough to be out of the forest I stopped and that’s when I realized I had gotten myself lost.

I looked at my surroundings and saw a light in a clearing ahead of me. I ran towards the light and realized it was a flashlight; I picked up the flashlight and slowly turned around to examine my surroundings, when I was looking in the direction I had come I noticed somepony standing there and when I closely examined the pony and I knew who it was, Slender Pony.

I took off running in the opposite direction immediately; the ground had been still been muddy from the previous night’s rain, and I began sliding around in the mud. I continued running not worrying about the mud, but I thought about the consequences of continuing running too late and I ended up sliding down a hill and broke my leg.

Even after breaking my led I continued trying to escape by dragging myself a long but I was not fast enough and then there was no escape… everything went fuzzy…. everything went dark…..
