"This is bad. This is really, really bad!" Rainbow Dash started to fly-pace back and forth again.
"Why would Spitfire say they're in Canterlot?", Twilight asked.
"Pst!"
"What?!" Rainbow demanded, looking at Twilight.
"What?", Twilight asked.
"PPPSSSTT!"
They both turned to somepony hiding in the shadows. "Over here!"
They followed him.
"Rainbow Dash, I saw Spitfire and Misty Fly go out last night," the pegasus said. "And I know I wasn't supposed to, but I followed them. They went into the woods, and ponynapped Soarin. It was awful. He was covered in dirt, grass, and blood."
Twilight gasped while Rainbow stiffened.
"He was unconscious when they took him," he continued. "I knew I couldn't fight them on my own, so I followed them again. They took him near a river, but I lost them before I saw where they went after that. I'm so sorry this has happened."
"Did you tell anyone?", Twilight asked.
He looked away. "No. I couldn't bring myself to, after seeing what just happened."
Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder, and he brightened a bit. "It's okay. I understand. But we'll find him. I'm sure of it."
The pegasus thought for a moment. "I think I have just the thing to help you."
