//------------------------------// // 5: Cave dwellers // Story: The SLENDERMANE and the eight pages // by Fire-D-Brony //------------------------------// As this Ditch that Applebloom and Scootaloo fell in did not feel like a normal ditch it was a very deep, that's for sure. Scootaloo turned to Applebloom "Hey, this ditch is very strange, don't you think?" Applebloom had to agree that there was something odd about this area, "Well, what do you think we should do?" Applebloom said. But the ditch was deep and long, so long that it had a path leading somewhere, so the two fillies had the bright idea of slowly following the path, just after a few minutes they found a cave, "Uh Applebloom did you see a cave here before?", Applebloom looked at Scootaloo, "No, i didn't see any cave here" so the Scootaloo and Applebloom both thought that the Slendermane could be living in here, because they saw a strange shape on the side that was his Cutie mark, the Shape was a circle with an cross, and Applebloom and Scootaloo both thought that the Slendermane took Sweetie belle and Twilight in there. "Hey Applebloom, do you think they are in there" Scootaloo said, Applebloom was in thought of another plan "I don't know, but we better get help because that thing is going to hunt us down!", Scootaloo scowled "Applebloom there is no time, we have to get Twilight and Sweetie belle NOW!" The sound of Scootaloo's yell echoed around the forest, then there was silence, but not for long. Scootaloo and Applebloom heard Hoof steps coming from the forest, they both go the bright idea of trotting to the cave. The two fillies were now in the cave, they had no idea were they were going, but all those two know that, were they were was the danger zone this cave that they were in was no ordinary cave, it had red marking on it saying "Help" "Don't enter" and "Tread lightly" "Hey Scootaloo, is this the best idea we could come up with?" Scootaloo at this point didn't know how to respond, "Well...it's all we can do" They have been walking around the Cave for an hour and had no idea on what to do, then they both cane to an unusual area, it was very open the biggest part of the cave in fact, "Applebloom, do you have the torch?" Scootaloo asked, "Um...got it" Applebloom then tossed the Torch at Scootaloo, Scootaloo caught it and turned it on, what they could see were Pony bodies hanging from chains their eyes were black their mouths were gone, Applebloom looked around in fear, hoping that Sweetie belle and Twilight did not end up the same way then thank Celestia Twilight and Sweetie Belle were OK, but it looked like that they were knocked out, "There they are!" Applebloom shouted, Scootaloo covered Applebloom's mouth "Shh, we don't want to end up like them, do we?" Scootaloo pointed to the dead bodies. Applebloom Nodded "Your right" The two fillies trotted up to Sweetie Belle and Twilight, Scootaloo tapped Sweetie belles head trying to wake her up "Sweetie Belle?" AppleBloom Looked at Sweetie Belle and then punched her arm "Wake up!" "Sweetie Belle? Twilight? are you two wake?!" Scootaloo shouted but then AppleBloom Shouted as loud as she could "GOSH DARN IT YOU TWO WAKE UP!" then there was a silence for 3 second and finally twilight and Sweetie Belle woke up "Huh, what...what happened?" Twilight asked Sweetie Belle woke up and looked all over the place "Ahh, whats going on?" Twilight used one of her spells to get her out of the chains she did the same with Sweetie Belle, "Applebloom? Scootaloo? what happened?" Twilight was so confused but AppleBloom and Scootaloo both wanted to say something to Twilight, "Twlight we are sorry we dragged you into this, we just wanted our Cutie marks so badly" Twilight Smiled and said "You know, there is no such thing as a perfect accomplishment we all had 3 more notes to find and got caught, but i'm just glad your all safe" So Twilight and the CMC all hugged but were there reunion was rudely interrupted, by a crash of some rocks, and you know who was there! Twilight put her arm out in front of the Three little fillies "Girls, get behind me!" The SLENDERMANE was back! The Slendermane walked slowly towards Twilight and then looked down to her and stared at her with nothing to stare with just that eternal blank expression Then Twilight stared talking with the Slendermane "Now listen here you can't just go around the Everfree forest and capture ponies whenever you feel like it!" The Slendermane looked at her for a while and then was about to walk off but then Grabbed Twilight, Twilight was unable to move then she stared to feel weird. the Slendermane was Sucking Twilight's Life out, The CMC had no idea on what to do then Applebloom shouted "HEY LET HER GO YOU...YOU...SKINNY FUCK" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's jaws dropped, then The Slendermane stopped and dropped Twilight and walked up to AppleBloom The CMC were corned, but Princess Luna lowered the moon and Celestia raised the sun and the Slendermane Vanished, he only came out at night The CMC saw Twilight's Body lie on the Ground they rushed over to her, Scootaloo Checked Twilight's pulse...There was none Sweetie Belle Pressed her Chest...Twilight did not move Applebloom nugged Twilight...She did not move Twilight Sparkle was Dead
