Twilight was in Ponyville town square. She wasn't sure why, but shenever did know what was going on in her dreams. So she just walked away from the square and went to some shops. She figured she might be here to stock up on supplies.
"No," whispered a strange voice. The sound sent shivers down her spine. It was as if it had a double voice.
"Hello?" Twilight said. "Is anypony there?"
Silence was the reply. This is a really strange dream, Twilight thought.
She continued on her path when she heard it again. Then the sound of metal on metal came.
"Hello?" she asked again, tuning around. The streets were deserted. there was nopony around. Then who is saying 'no'?
Strange laughter filled the dream. It was that same double voice. "Whoever is doing this, it isn't funny," Twilight called out. She hadn't had such a bad dream since she was in school.
"Whoever?" the voice called out. "I think you mean 'Whatever', for I am not a who." It seemed amused at the fact that it was scaring her.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked, beginning to shake.
"You know exactly what I mean Twilight Sparkle," It said.
"How do you know my name?"
"I have many ways of travel. But this one is a personal favorite. Stories. Who would have thought that they could be so helpful."
"What are you talking about?" Twilights shaky voice asked.
"You haven't figured it out? Well I guess I overestimated you. You did recieve that letter a little ways in advance."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I have done this before. I will strip this town of it's protection just like I did before. You will be my weapon."
"I'm not going to let you do that," Twilight sad, powering up her magic.
"That little horn isn't going to do you any good in here," it said. "This is where I rule."
"What are you?" she asked, almost figuring out where it was.
"I am the one you read about," it said. "I am Nocturne." It lunged at her with both blades extended.
But Twilight was preparing for this. She rolled out of the way and shot a blast of magic at him. but right before it hit him, it stopped.
Twilight's jaw dropped. "I told you," Nocturne said, "That it wasn't going to do you any good."
And with that, he lunged at her, pushing one of his blades into her body.
Twilight woke up screaming. She could feel the blade pierce her body. She could still feel it in her. She threw off the blanket to look and see if she was dying.
And she saw that there was nothing wrong. Nothing had happened to her. She was fine.
"Twilight!" Spike screamed as he ran into her room. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," she replied. "I'm fine. Go back to bed."
"You dreamed about it, didn't you?"
"It's nothing," Twilight said. "Now go back to sleep." She had some work to do.
