The Death Mare

Chapter 3: Every thing begins

"Well, okay, I will give it a try." Taking her friend's request in for consideration.

"Hold still Fluttershy and think really hard of what you want to forget." Twilight explained.

Her horn began to glow with a purple aura, then it surrounded Fluttershy's head. Fluttershy trying not to get distracted over the weird sensation kept thinking of the terrible images in her head.

Twilight was concentrating all her power at Fluttershy. Her eyes began to glow and the images Fluttershy was thinking of appeared into Twilight's mind. The unicorn gasped at the sight of them, but she continued her magic on Fluttershy.

With a large flash, the whole room shook and Fluttershy collapsed.

"Okay done, the images should be gone." Twilight proudly announced.

"What images?" Fluttershy asked.

"The de-"

"PINKIEPIE!" Apple Jack yelled .

"Apple Jack what's she trying to say?" The mind washed pony asked.

"Nothing that concerns you, I don't wanna be rude but y'all can't know. You'll get really scared." Apple Jack said calmly.

"Yeah Fluttershy, it's best if you don't know." Rainbow Dash added in.

"Okay girls we need a plan, we will try to explain what's going on as best as we can to you Fluttershy. We don't want to trigger the bad memories." Twilight exclaimed.

"Okay let's head over to the library and start planning." Twilight said.

"Right!" Said four if ponies except Fluttershy who was still curious.

"What's going on?"
--------
Meanwhile at the library Spike had fallen asleep while mopping the library. The poor baby dragon was up late last night organizing all the books in the library after a school field trip, that had tons of hyperactive phillies running around, putting books back in the wrong places.

The door to the library opened, and Spike immediately awoke thinking Twilight had returned. Owlisish covered his forehead with his wing at Spike's lack if work.

"Hey Twilight-" Spike said eagerly but it wasn't Twilight, it was a pony Spike had never seen before, " oh I'm sorry your not Twilight, feel free to check out any book though."

The purple dragon went back to the room he was mopping, leaving the stranger all alone.

The stranger was a mare, who had a slick silver body and a mane that was as dark as the night sky itself. She was a unicorn, but her horn seemed abnormally long for a pony of her size. Her eyes were grey and showed no sign of enthusiasm.

The stranger pony walked along a row of books, only stopping to pull out an occasional book to observe it. None of these books are what she was looking for because the moment she read the title, she would put it back instantly.

The baby dragon, who had fallen asleep again, decided to check out the noise the unicorn was making.

"Um, can I help you?" Spike questioned the silver mare.

She turned her head to the Spike, and said, "yes," in a quite voice, "I'm looking for a book with magic for beginners, do you have any copies?"

The dragon paused to think but before he could tell her "yes", Owlisish flew in with the book, and placed it in her saddle bag.

"What a handy owl you have there." She said smiling because she was pleased that she had gotten the book.

"Wooo." Owlisish replied.

"You." The mare said still smiling.

"Wooo." Owlisish repeated.

"You!" The silver pony said, she had become a little aggravated now.

"Um, he's an owl. They say "woo" remember." Spike said in a dull voice.

"Woo!" The owl responded.

"You!!!" Spike explained, "I mean... Whatever."

The stranger giggled slightly, thanked them for the book, and left.
-------
Twilight and the others were heading towards the library at the time of the "Owlisish problem".

They were all walking together in the empty streets of Ponyville. It was almost about the time princess Luna would create the night sky.

They kept walking silently, none of them made a single sound. the glowing houses windows were only things that illuminated any form of light after a while.

Twilight stopped at the sight of a silver object running straight at them.

"Every pony off the streets!" She yelled.

PinkiePie started screaming, "EVERY PONY FOR THEMSELVES!!!"

Faces of ponies appeared at the windows to see what all the ruckus was for.

The silver object stopped and jumped into one of the alley ways when it heated the screaming. Twilight saw this and used her magic too pull out, what appeared to be a pony, by the tail.

The pony started screaming in fear trying to use her own magic to free her self, but it was no good.

"Well, it looks like we have our so called "Death Mare"." Twilight said.

The silver pony started screaming, "Please! Please! Let me go Death Mare! I didn't do anything wrong! I have a little philly at home who wants to see her big sister again! Please?!"

Twilight suddenly realized that the pony must of been running home, to protect her sister. And ran into the alley because she thought they were talking about the real Death Mare.

Twilight let go with her magic, "I'm terribly sorry miss, we thought you were trying to attack us!"

The silver pony looked up to see the six smiling faces starring back at her. "There's no "Death Mare"?" She asked.

"No, why don't you go home and be safe with your little sister." Apple Jack added in.

"Terribly sorry dreary," Rarity joined in, "all of us are a little stressed right now."

"Can you guys please tell me who Death Mare is?" Fluttershy still clueless after the memory spell.

"Later Fluttershy, it's not a good time." Rainbow Dash told her.
-------
It was another 10 minutes until they reached the library. Spike finally finished his chores to try and impress Twilight.

"Okay, so what are we doing Twilight?
