//------------------------------// // Day 2/ The nightmare // Story: Rainbow Sparkle // by EVILRAINBOWDASH //------------------------------// Dash woke up in what appeared to be an alley way that lead into the dark inner streets of Cloudsdale. "H hello anyone there?" Dash said nervously. No answer. "Mom, Dad, Anypony" Filly Dash said as she slowly began to walk through the dark alley. When out of seemingly nowhere she heard a laugh, No not a Pinkie Pie laugh their was....something about this laugh that was different, and the very sound of it shook Dash to the very fiber of her being. "mwahahaha FUCKING BITCH, DIE" She heard off in the distance. "M-m-Mom" she muttered softly. "MOM ARE YOU ALRIGHT" She yelled as she ran towards the sickly commotion that was before her. When she got to the end of the alley way she peaked around the corner of an old abandoned building, What she saw next would scar her for life. She saw both of her parents laying face down in a puddle of their own blood their intestines spilled all over the ground, and their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. As she watched, the figure she saw started to slowly turn around. When she saw the face hear heart nearly stopped. It was a pink mare with long straight hair and eyes that seemed to glare into her very soul. All of a sudden Dashes sorrow turned into burning rage. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SHE!" She yelled unleashing all of her rage. The pink mare once again started to laugh, then stopped and looked dash right in the eye and said. "HA What does it look like you little shit! I killed them! I watched them both as the BEGGED FOR MERCY! HA! Their screams turned me on in ways I can't even describe!" The pink mare boasted with an maniacal grin upon her blood coated face. Dash was froze in place, Her legs were trembling with fear. The harder she tried to move the harder it seemed to be to move. Thoughts were racing through her mind, When suddenly the full heat of the situation hit her like a thousand lightnings......HER PARENTS WERE DEAD!!! suddenly a new wave of thoughts started racing through her mind. DEAD......DEAD....DEAD!!!!!! She then started thinking of all the wonderful times they shared together. How her father always cheered her on during flight school, How her mother was always there for her when she woke up in the middle of the night screaming from nightmares. "Nightmares" She thought "this is just.....TO REAL!" She whimpered out loud, as should would give ANYTHING to wake up in her nice warm bed with her mother there comforting her from the horrible reality she was now faced with. "HAHAHA!!! Don't worry kid, You'll be joining your parent's shortly." She heard breaking her train of thought. That's when it hit her. She had to get out of their fast! She hopped up on all four hooves spread her wings and just as she started to take off was tackled by the crazed pink mare. "Where do you think YOUR going" The pink killer hissed. "No please I don't wanna die!" filly Dash begged with tears streaming down her cyan face. "That's it, beg you pathetic excuses for a Pegasus!" The crazed mare bellowed. "O o Okay sure I'll do anything, ANYTHING. Just pleas pleas pleas Don't kill me!" The terrified Pegasus screamed. "Ha Fuck no! pathetic foals like you don't even deserve to live!" And with that the crazed mare took the cleaver and swung it hard at Dashes neck. Time seemed to slow down as she saw the knife getting closer and closer to her neck. "Dash" She heard a faint voice say off in the distance. The knife drew closer still and was just starting to brush against her cyan coat. "RAINBOW DASH WAKE UP!" She heard, yet this time the voice seemed much more clear than before. ' her vision began to blur the knife started to slowly fade along with the psychotic pink mare in front of her. Everything was black. ................................................................................................................ She sat up... Tears rolling down her face. "No No PLEAS MAKE IT STOP" Dash began yelling "Oh in the name of Celestia make it GO AWAY!" Dash continued yelling "Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash come on you have got to snap out of it!" "Twi Twilight is that you" Dash questioned. "Yes, Yes it is, now come on and SNAP OUT OF IT! it was just a dream!" Twilight yelled. "No no you cant be real. Everything was just to.....real." Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a dazed state. "Yes, Yes Rainbow Dash I am real, Just please SNAP OUT OF IT!" Twilight continued to scream. "No no I saw them them they were both murdered.......I WAS MURDERED!" Dash said counting to sob. "Rainbow Dash whatever you saw in your dream is gone now just please come back to me." Twilight said as she put her hooves around Dash and embraced her. "Twi Twilight...I'm sorry...So......So...sorry." Dash said as she returned the gesture. "Sorry for what dash?" Twilight questioned. "Sorry for everything, sorry for always calling you an egghead, sorry for always crashing into your house after trying a new stunt. Just..Sorry." Dash whispered into Twilight's ear. "Dash listen you don't have to be sorry for anything. Especially for who you are!." "That's just it Twilight, That's not who I truly am." "Wha what are you trying to say dash.?" Dash sighed. "What would it feel like twilight, If being the best was the only thing you had to look forward to in life.
