//------------------------------// // Alone // Story: Half baked sun cakes part 2: A slim chance. // by rosa4558 //------------------------------// Fool.....coward......idiot......useless creature....you are an imbecile thinking you can face me alone. And know all your friends are gone too.How does it feel?To be alone?Well know this will be the only feeling you'll ever feel in your pathetic life. "AAAHHH!!!!!"Twilight screamed for a while.When she stopped,she looked around.It was morning.She heard the wailing wind,looking for something that Twilight couldn't figure out."Oh...it was just a dream..." Twilight got up and looked around her home.Nothing out of the ordinary,except for Spike.Instead of flesh and blood,a little doll replaced made to look like Spike."Oh yes....I remember making that.....I made it after the....the....the..." Twilight held her hoof to her forehead.It hurt to remember what happened that day. It was even harder to forget."Don't think about it know Twi,the only thing you need to worry on right know is food."And with that,she left her last comfort.Her last resort.And her only home. Twilight walked on the barren outskirts of Ponyville,looking for food.With a bow and arrow in her use for protection and a casket to fill up on water,she looked for some edible berries.With those berries,she could make something tasty for herself.Woosh. Twilight spun around using her magic to pick up the bow and arrow.Nothing was there.But Twilight knew that there was something watching her. "Who's there?" Silence.Twilight started to get upset."WHO'S THERE!?" No reply. This angered Twilight. "I KNOW YOUR HERE! COME OUT RIGHT NOW AND SHOW YOURSELF!" For a little while,nothing responded. Then a form come out from the bushes.It was a s long,sleek,black creature.It had a long tail with the eyes of a dragon and the body structure of a cat.It was as big as a Panther. It started to make a pitched sound with it's mouth,a warning sign saying to stay away.Twilight went into rage. "I THOUGHT I KILLED ALL OF YOUR KIND!!!!" She let go of the arrow instantly straight for the heart. The dark creature let out a piercing scream before falling into an internal sleep.Twilight smiled and started to cry. "You would have lived if Fluttershy was here." And with that,she walked back to Ponyville. Luther?Luther? The beautiful sleek creature Alpha Ixiolu wandered Evertree forest searching for her brother.Ever since all the ponies were cleared from Equestria,they've been able to live their lives without fear.Where is he?He supposed to be here- Ixiolu stopped in her tracks.In front of her was her brother,with an arrow in his chest. BROTHER! But how?All of the inhabitants were killed!I just don't...just don't....Ixiolu slumped down as she sobbed over her brothers dead body. sniff...I...I will get revenge on the one who did this,I will avenge Luther.And with that she left to one of the old town that held civilization,with the feeling of determination and revenge. It was night at Ponyville and Twilight was looking at her books."So that's how mating works..." Whip. "Hm?" Twilight looked around to see nothing out of the ordinary."Must have been my imagination" said Twilight as she went back to her book. Crash. Twilight,startled,jumped up to see where the noise came from.A black figure was standing right i front of her with the Spike doll in its mouth. Twilight could tell it was furious at her for something.This brought Twilight back some memories from long ago.... "Twilight wait up!" Yelled Spike. "Yeah Twi,what are you in such a hurry?" "Well you see Applejack,Zecora wanted to tell me something last time I saw her but she didn't get a chance to tell me.So I want to go see her so she can tell me what she wanted to say." "Yeah but should we be going there at this time of night?" "Don't worry Pinkie we'll be safe.You too Fluttershy.Now come you guys, We have to hurry up!" Then the 7 friends continued their path to Zecora's house.Little did they know,this would be their last journey together. Ixiolu looked at the purple mare who was smiling as tears strolled down her cheeks. This...is odd. How could she have survived? I thought....we killed....everyone....it doesn't make sense. She walked up to the crying mare. A unicorn. She seems to be remembering something. I wonder... Ixiolu started to raise her paw towards the mare's face,with the thought of touching one of a pony.Wait a minute.What am I thinking? She is responsible for killing my brother! I shouldn't give her sympathy! I should give her internal suffering! She pulled her paw back and got into a pouncing position,ready to attack. Twilight wiped the tears off her face to face the creature.Before she could do so though,she was pushed on the ground with a strong force. What in the world? Twilight looked up to see the snarling creature frothing at the mouth. The creature clearly had intentions in killing her,but she wasn't sure why it hated her. "cough...Just....if you want to...end me.....just make it....quick..." Twilight closed her eyes,ready to embrace her end. Heh heh...you brought this upon yourself mare. You kill our kind,and we'll kill yours in return.Finally we'll no longer have to worry about your kind. Ixiolu raised her paw when she heard the mare tell her to make her death quick.Huh? Make it quick? Doesn't she want to live? This mare...is different than the others.She WANTS to die! I'm very confused.But I musn't show her sympathy. My kind is merciless!The other ones actually put up a fight.They fought back.They made killing them fun.This one is no fun.I must make her fear me. To be continued.
