Oh, Sweet Silence

Chapter 1: Cold

It was a blustering and snowy morning, and Fluttershy was all bundled up, ready to take exit of her safe, warm, cabin. Angel bunny sat on the green couch, covered by a warm blanket, and left with a basket of carrots. The bunny began to gesture to Fluttershy, making her know that he had everything under control, and that she could leave.

"Oh, ok Angel, I'll be going then." She whispered. "Don't be worried, I'll only be gone until six."

Angel waved an eager goodbye , while smiling a very insincere smile. Fluttershy sighed, and stepped out into the cold and windy outdoors.

Fluttershy had recently received a letter from her dear friend Twilight Sparkle, in which it asked her to come over to the library. Thats all the letter said. Fluttershy didn't know why Twilight wanted her to come over, but whatever it was must have been exciting and important. But, why hadn't she just talked to her in person? They were great friends after all...

The winds were blowing at high speeds and snow blinded the yellow pegasus. She would not be able to fly in conditions like this, so she had to resort to walking, which she was more stable doing. Everything around her was as white as Angel's fur, but as cold as a Crystal Ghost's presences. She was defend by the howling winds in her ear, yet she swore that she heard someone call out her name. When she looked around, there was no-pony to be seen.

After what felt to be an eternity of trotting through snow, Fluttershy finally saw the outline of what looked to be the library, but it looked more like a vanilla frosting covered one...

Fluttershy walked up to the red door and began to knock. No answer. Minutes, maybe hours went by while she wait for someone to answer. Her legs were buried under snow, and even with all the layers she had on, she was beginning to freeze.

Finally, after a long wait, Twilight opened the door. The lilac purple mare had one of the widest and creepiest smiles ever.

"Hey, Fluttershy!" she gigglishly exclaimed.
'Hi Twilight... what took you so long?"
"Oh, I couldn't hear you knocking, hehehe. The winds pretty loud!" She giggled.

Fluttershy didn't laugh, she had been freezing her flank off in the snow, and had been kind enough to have stayed and waited instead of leaving and going back home.

"Come on in Fluttershy...hehehe, I got a lot planned."
