Sky Dreamer- An Unpleasant Truth


Sky woke up groggily having slept very unpleasantly, her dreams haunted by her dead family and friends.She went over to the mirror and brushed her mane. She wondered why she even bothered anymore. She but down her brush and stared at herself. What she saw was not herself. It was a pony who had given up any hope of success. A pony who had finally accepted defeat. And she didn't like it. She didn't like it one bit. 

I can't give up. No I won't give up. I haven't given up for four years and I sure as hell am not giving up now! 

And so she went to the cubbard to get a quick breakfast. But when she opened it there was no food.

God dammit! Now I have to find some food.

So she opened the door to her apartment and walked down the hallway. She stopped at room 117. She remembered the pony who lived there. His name was Sparkling Flame or something like that. He was a scientist who was always locked away in his apartment doing something.

Maybe I can find some food in his apartment.

It was one of the few apartments n the building she had not salvaged any food left from, but I guess now was a good a time as ever. The door was lucked so Sky bucked it down with her two hind legs and walked inside. She scavenged the apartment looking in every nook and cranny for any food. She was rewarded with some oats and water she found in a cubbard. As she was walking out the door she knocked over a book on the table. She picked it up and looked at the title.

My personal journal.  It read. Obviously Sparklings journal.

I'll take it with me. I need something new to read anyway.

And so Sky read as she walked up the stairs. She started with the first entry.



Sept 1st 2013- Production of KAP117 has begun. We hope to finish in a few months. In which time Equestria will be on it's knees!

What the buck is KAP117!? And how did he know about the virus!?

She continued to read. The journal just seemed to keep going through KAP117 production. But then something was written that really caught her eye.

Sep 28th 2013- Today was the first test of KAP117 on a live pony. The test subject died within an hour but then something happened. The subject rose up again with red flickering eyes and attacked a scientist. Luckily he was the only one killed and we managed to put down the subject once and for all.

Wait that sounds exactly like the....... mutants.

At that moment it hit her. KAP117 was the virus that had killed everyone. And these ponies had produced it with the intent of killing them all. But for what purpose? The now terrified Sky continued to read hoping for more answers. The next post was about a month after the test subject one.

October 22nd 2013- Today was the big day! We released the virus into the Canterlot water supply. Soon all of Equestria will fall! I have locked myself in my apartment to ensure I do not get the virus.  

But then there was one more post.

May 16th 2017- My neighbor who somehow survived has just come into my house looking for food. Oh and by the way if you picked this up and are reading this look behind you.

Sky froze and slowly turned around with fear in her eyes. At the end of the hall was a pony wearing a radiation suit who was advancing towards her.

"Well, well, well Sky. You just had to read my journal huh? Everything could have been fine but no, you just had to read!"

Sky starts to panic. "No! It was an accident I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! Please!?"

"I'm afraid I have no other choice. You will be coming with me."

At that moment she felt an object connect with the back of her head and she hit the floor, unconscious.
