CHAPTER 49
Bad Situation

Twilight woke up near a cave to find herself alone, she had hoped that at least one pony was nearby. She took a quick look around, she then noticed that she was in a containment cell. She thought to herself what had happened before her black out? Where was she when she blacked out? Was her friends with her at least? She looked around the room she was being held in, the only way out was a small door made of bars. “Is there anypony here!?!” She yelled out the door. A small muffled sound came from the caves beyond, she thought she would try again “Hello? Is there anypony there!?!” The muffled noise got louder, she was sure that this noise was at least responding to her. “HEY, CAN YOU AT LEAST SHOW YOURSELF? I WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE TO TALK TO ANYPONY!!” The muffled sound eventually got louder, and turned out to be grunts. A huge dog came around the corner of the cave, and said “Hi my name is tom!” The dog yelled. It had a collar made of diamond, and below hung a bong that read TOM. “I’m guessing you’re a part of the Diamond Dogs?” Twilight said with a worried voice. The dog grunted, and walked away from the holding cell. It turned around, and said “You are the other one that can cast that weird spell to find us gems right?” Twilight shook her head, and the dog unlocked the door, and pulled Twilight out. “You go and find me gems, and you might earn your freedom.” She shook her head free of the dog’s grip. She thought to herself “Maybe if I get to an area where I’m supposed to cast that spell I could free myself and the others with my protection spell. Then again I don’t really know where they others are, I know that Rarity is at least going to be out here looking for some to.” She followed the big dog to the main room of the caves they were living in. “Rarity, do you happen to know where everypony else is?” Rarity looked around, walked over to Twilight, and whispered “They don’t know about the other, I have no idea where they are, but they can’t know that they exist. If they find out they will use them as weapons against us. We got captured when you and I looked for firewood.” The dogs looked around, and said “What other ponies? I don’t see any others.” Twilight shook her head, and said “Never mind about that, so how am I supposed to work for my freedom again?” The dog turn to her, and said “What freedom?” She gasped, and started to cast her spell. A small bubble formed around her and Rarity It continued to grow. One dog decided to touch the outside of the bubble growing faster toward the three of them, Tom flew across the room after touching it slightly. In a few seconds the bubble started to flash, and grew at such a rate that it could have been mistaken for an explosion. This made each dog fly straight into the walls of the cave, and made little holes in the walls for them to coware into for the moment. At the final moment Twilight looked to Rarity, and said “Prepare yourself, we are getting out of here!”
