//------------------------------// // The Nightmare // Story: Forbidden Honesty // by Music4ever //------------------------------// Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love ~Albert Einstein The wind was blowin' so hard I was surprised that the tress were still on the ground but I wasn't surprised when most of the leaves were falling off the branches.It was so cloudy that you couldn't even see the moon, the wind was howlin' so much it sounded like a wolf and I had a really bad feeling bout this.I'd say this is one of the most terrifying nights in Ponyville and it had a very bad reason... "I'm worried bout the trees Big Mac they look like they're ready to tear from the ground any minute now" "Eyup"commented Bic Mac with indifference. "I just hope all the animal don't get rowdy in the barn we already have to round up all the fallen apples in the mornin wouldn't want more mess out there"muttered Applejack. Applejack walked across the room and took a look outside once more just to make sure everything was in order and although nothing was broken or worse it looked like a storm was coming their way.Strange not a single Pegasus was outside moving or placing clouds they were just moving by themselves. "Heard you sing the lullaby ma used to sing to you"said Bic Mac from behind. "Was bout' time Applebloom heard it."responded Applejack. "I'm sure ma and pa are proud of ya." "Thanks."Applejack let out a shaky sigh. "I also know about your crush AJ." Applejack paled no pony was supposed to know about that,it felt horrible to be in love with some pony who wasn't interested in her."I'm sorry." "There's nothing to be sorry about sister, it's wonderful to be in love."explained her brother. "It isn't if they have their eye on some pony else."Applejack commented as she lowered her head in shame. "You don't know unless you tell him"added Big Mac "It's better to leave things how they are."Applejack said. "Better get some sleep for tomorrow." "Good night Big Mac." They turned around and went upstairs but what they didn't see were the yellow glowing eyes spying on them from the strange looking clouds of outside. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Applejack wake up!Applejack!"called a distant voice. "Huh!! What's going on?Spike what are you doing here?" "No time to explain let's go hurry we don't have a lot of time" I quickly grabbed my hat and followed spike, Applebloom was on the kitchen she was putting some apples in my bag and bottle of water on hers,I gotta say I've never saw her move that fast. "Applebloom what in tarnation is going on here and why are you here in the middle of the night" "Tell ya later sis just please get all the food you can in your bag I'll get the rest"They quickly finished packing and went out to the porch when Spike whispered. "Follow me but be very quiet I'll explain everything later just don't make a noise and stay hidden in the shadows." "What about the rest of my family Spike we need to get them too!"Applejack turned to the house but was stopped by Spike. "I'm sorry but we can't take them we'll be too many and they'll spot us."whispered Spike with worry. "But they're my family I won't leave them here if they're in danger!"Applejack cried with despair. "Just trust me please we'll come later for them."begged Spike. "No, they're my family I won't leave them behind!"Applejack took a stand with determination. "Please Applejack there's no time to waste just...please"Spike pleaded. "Alright."came a voice with shame and regret. Outside was cloudy and so dark you could barely see your own hooves in front of you.I tried to listen for any sounds but it was silent dead silent... We followed Spike all the way till the border of the Everfree forest which looked darker than ever, I was bout to hesitate when Spike spoke up. "Applejack it's risky to tell you what's going on here we have to get away from Ponyville." "But where could we go?"Applebloom asked. "THEY'RE OVER HERE"hissed a mysterious raspy voice. "RUN!!shouted Spike. "Spike wait this is the Everfree forest we'll get lost in there"Applebloom said with concern in her voice. "Applebloom just follow Spike come on"Applejack pushed Applebloom in front of her as she heard hooves behind her. We followed spike for what seemed hours and every sounds we heard got our bones shakin' we were so nervous because we all knew it's worst enterin' the Everfree forest at night.I had no idea what was going on and I was beginning to believe we were lost until I noticed a familiar house. Knock!Knock!Knock! "Oh good you're all here please come in you're welcome here." Thanks Zecora we need help Ponyville is in big trouble it's a disaster they're all trapped and- "WHAT! Who's trapped?!"Applejack cried looking at Spike with shock and fear in her eyes. "I think it's better to tell Applejack what's going on out here but you better sit down dear the news might be shocking to hear." They all sat down while Zecora made some tea.Trapped who was trapped what happen and what in the hay was going on?" "Applejack, the changelings are back and chrysalis is stronger..." (Story time) Spike was frozen with shock he couldn't move a muscle. "Spike what's going on I heard a crash and-Oh no." "Are those ch... Changelings out there!?"whispered twilight with disbelief. "Twilight what do we do if we go out there and we'll get trapped. "I don't know I-I..."twilight went from book to book searching for an answer or a way to stop the changelings before things got out of hoof. "Maybe you could teleport us to the girls and take the elements with you so you defeat chrysalis.Right?"said spike trying to convince himself. "No"answered twilight in a flat tone. "What!" "Cadence and Shining were the only ones capable of defeating chrysalis and if the Princess couldn't defeat her maybe the elements won't either!"explained twilight,there was a green book that caught twilight's eye...her eyes widen but that was her only choice left. The only zebra I know that lives far from Ponyville is Zecora and maybe if Spikeruns fast he could warn her and get to Zecoras' house and do something about this I'll leave something later for spike to know but he can't do it alone he needs Applejack to help him after all he'll understand later.thought twilight. "Spike go to Applejack and warn her about this then go to Zecora hurry!" "What about you?" "I'll distract the changelings as much as I can, no matter what you hear I want you to keep running and don't look back." "But twilight" "I'll always think of you like my little brother love you." "Thanks twilight,I'll do my best." They hugged one last time before going outside,Twilight distracted some changelings as Spike raced to Applejack's home.It was no use somehow the changelings were stronger than before and accomplished to capture twilight. "I thought you'd never join our party twilight sparkle I have to say it's nice to be back and this time I'm not leaving.By the way I hope you get used to your new home but I don't think you like black do you? "You won't get anything here you're just wasting your time" "Not at all I already captured four of the elements and with you the most powerful element captured there is no pony stopping me this time HAHAHA!!" "I am!"yelled twilight. "I don't think so you'd have to fight against me and it's not that easy, after all I did capture you the last time we met." "Then I am ready for a battle"twilight shook some changelings that we're holding her down and got in position for attack as her horn started to glow. "Well then get ready for defeat twilight sparkle because I'm stronger than I've ever been"with that said chrysalis chuckled.
