//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: My little Zombie: Brains are Magic(continued) // by Micarder //------------------------------// In the slow moment which seemed forever. Nothing was heard except for the patting of the rain around the two fillies. The silence was eventually broken by one of the fillies. "What is it?" Said the small grey filly. "A grave" said by Applebloom the other filly. "How's it a grave?' "What else could it be." "I see your point but it doesn't mean what it could be as what you think it is." "Its a grave." said Applebloom as she put on her leather hat. "You don't that for sure." Said the other filly who read the tree bark that read Sotaloo with a jaggy heart drawed under neath. "What do you think it is then?" asked Applebloom. "Could be a note or something like it." "A note? A note!" Said Applebloom, with her voiced raised an octave. Then a bolt of lightning ran down with the upcoming thunder roared. It scared the small grey filly half to death for two reasons. The first was the noise, and the second the flash had seemed to vanish the fog for a second. Like a pony blinking. What it revealed was an outline of a tall and thin monster hiding in the mist about ten feet away from where they stand. It frightened the grey filly were Apple bloom stood there looking at the supposed grave with a death stare. "Applebloom, we have to get put of this." Said the filly. No reply. "Applebloom?" Silence. The filly walked half way in front of Applebloom. The shadow of her hat had disguised her face with a shadow. "Applebloom?!" Yelled the filly. Applebloom had looked up a sly to who her face. One of Appleblooms eyes fixed on the filly and then other on the unknown tree bark. It looked like she wanted to kill the filly. The filly had then begin having thoughts on if she's going insane again or into one of those trances she described. The eye that was doing a death stare moved back to the the piece of tree bark in the ground. The filly then saw the white rim of Appleblooms eye, they were bloodshot with a follow up of being swollen. Applebloom was crying but was trying to hold back the tears. She then leaned forward and trotted to the tree bark and leaned down. "What are you doing?" Asked the filly. "I need to know." Applebloom finally answered as she began scraping the ground with her front hooves. "To know what?" Asked the filly again "I need to see the body." Replied Applebloom as she was moving around the layer of dirt on the play ground. "We don't have time for this." Yelled the filly No reply. "Applebloom, that thing could be any where!" Yelled the filly. "What would you do?!" Asked Applebloom. "If your best friend was gone and you have almost nothing left!?" "I already have lost mine." Replied the filly which got Applebloom to stop shoveling the dirt around. Applebloom had forgot about the sugar cubes story. "If I had time to bury them I'd let them rest in peace, and if I didn't bury them I wouldn't dig them up. Besides I fear the way she died if that really is a grave. She could have been bitten and then you probably be gone to before I know it." Applebloom turned around, eyes balling out. "Please we need to find shelter until that monstrosity goes away." "Yah." Replied Applebloom. "I just *sniff* don't want to let her go." "I know." Replied the filly as she pulled the emotionally destroyed Applebloom back to the school house.
