Escaping

"What do you mean?" asked Applejack.


"In the room that we came in there was a tapestry of Nightmare Moon. There were also many symbols on the walls. The room collapsed and I don't remember any of them. I do remember the tapestry, though. I was Nightmare Moon on top of the school and Principal Celestia was running away," said Sunset.


There was a loud crack and the ceiling door opened. Sunset stood up and held it open as Twilight fell through unconsciously and her head fell against Rarity's legs. Sunset strained to keep t open as they crawled through the passage. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata had all made it safely to the top. They tried to wake Twilight and Fluttershy, but couldn't.


"Don't worry," said Sunset, "All of you need to leave. I'll stay with them until they wake up. You stay at the top. Drop a rock down and I'll be able to yell to you and the door will be open."


"Great idea!" said Rainbow Dash.

The rest all climbed up with all the gear. As Rarity pulled her foot up, Sunset released the door and it slid back fast. So fast, Sunset could of broken her fingers if she hadn't of pulled them away. Sunset sat for long amounts of time. Every few minutes, she tried to shake them awake. It was almost morning and everyone was getting hungry. Sunset thought that their hunger would wake them up soon. And it did. Fluttershy and Twilight alike were too weak to even try climbing up the passage. After about five o'clock in the morning, a rock fell out of the passage.


"They're awake!" Sunset yelled, "But they're too weak to climb up."


"One step ahead of you!" yelled Applejack.


They lowered a halter through the passage. Sunset helped both Fluttershy and Twilight. Once Twilight was ready to be lifted up, the door snapped shut, almost on Twilight's head. The rope snapped and they heard stones grinding. The walls were starting to move.
