The loss of a Heart

Chapter 1: The End Opens The Beginning

Twilight stared into a black void , pulling in everything like a vacuum. The world seemed to fall into a black hole. Out of nowhere she watched her friends spike and the princesses get pulled through. "No!" she cried vainly. Everything she ever knew was gone...... forever.

"Twilight wake up!" It was Spike. She opened her eyes up, just a crack. She saw worried green eyes staring at her.

"Spike?! You're OK!" Twilight threw her arms around him pulling him close.

"Uh, Twi? Nothing ever happened to me," he said confused.

"Oh, it must have been a dream then," she replied simply.

"Well that was some dream you were having. You wouldn't stop tossing and turning, I even heard you crying a bit," he informed her.

"Well I am glad to be awake now!" she said cheerfully.

"Remember Twilight the girls are coming over today because Pinkie came up with another random holiday to celebrate."

"If she comes up with anymore holidays I think I will burst I get so full!"

"Ha ha me too!" he said with a big smile.

"Well then I will go make us some breakfast and then we can clean up the library a bit for the party!" Twilight Sparkle said in a good natured tone.

"OK," Spike said simply. First Twilight made some cereal for the both of them, then they started dusting and mopping the floors.

~Two Hours Later~

"Finally done!" Spike said very relieved.

"Can I have a snack?" he asked.

Twilight giggled, "OK, but the girls will be here soon so something small!" she cried after him as he scurried away. "Oh Spike, what would I do without you?" she whispered to herself. Not long later Pinkie Pie arrived, carrying a basket of cupcakes and sasaparilla.

"I'M HE-RE-RE!" she sang in a very excited and happy tone.

"Hi Pinkie!" Twilight and Spike said in unison. "You can put the basket on that table over there," Twilight informed her.

"Okie-Dokie-Lokie!" she answered as best she could through the basket. After every pony else came, Pinkie gathered them together to tell the holiday. "OK so the holiday is........" she said in a getting-ready tone. "Drum roll please Spike!" Spike thrummed his hands on the ground in a drum roll. "The Two year anniversary of Twilight's first day in Ponyville!"

"WAIT, WHAT?!" she said very scared and surprised.

"Happy Anniversary Twilight!" they all cheered.

"You all knew and planned this?!" she cried out.

"Yup!" they all cried back.

"Oh, my Celestia!" she yelled.

"Isn't this awesome?" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"Happy anniversary darling!" Rarity told Twilight.

"Y'all got that right!" Applejack joined in.

"I love you Twilight," Fluttershy said in her soft and mild voice.

"I love you too girls!" she answered back. Then, the black void returned sucking up her friends, books, everything! They yelled at Twilight, begging her to save them. "NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! GIRLS! SPIKE!!!! NO!" she yelled reaching to save them. Then everything was black and silent.

Twilight eyes shot open, wide with fear. She took in her surroundings, it was dark room with a green eerie glow to it. The room was laced with black and green webs, all gooey looking. "Hello?" she called out. It echoed around the room, giving her the same feeling it did when she was in the Canterlot catacombs. "Where am I?' she asked into the darkness. "Help me!!!" she yelled now in panic. A cackling, echoing, evil laughter filled the room. Queen Chrysalis. "Where are you? Show yourself!" Twilight Sparkle demanded.

"Ha, are you really going to try and play brave with me?" Chrysalis asked mockingly. She suddenly appeared in front of the purple unicorn, scaring her enough to make Twilight Sparkle jump.

"Why am I here?" the unicorn asked.

"Hmm, well I could give you an accurate answer." Chrysalis said lazily. "But you're smart enough you don't need one," she finished slyly. "Magic is good, and bad. Magic is beautiful and ugly. But one thing is not known by many about magic. That magic, will-" she was cut off by the rapid shaking of the ground. Her mouth curled up in a evil smile. "You will never win Sparkle!!!" With that, darkness enveloped the unicorn again.

When her eyes cracked open again, Twilight was scared she would still be in that room with Chrysalis. "T-T-Twi-Twilight?' the voice was Spike's, except it kept cracking and it sounded like he was crying.

"Spiikeee?" Twilight could barely get the word out of her mouth. Then another pony came into view.

"Ah, you are awake, Ms.Sparkle." the pony was Dr.Stable. She opened her mouth to ask him a bunch of questions but was interrupted. "I suggest not to speak considering you barely have any energy. I will inform you of your condition though. It seems to be that we are not sure what is wrong but we can definitely say that it is likely you will survive," his voice was very matter-of-fact. " I can go ahead and tell you that your friends are just outside. We made an acception for Spike, because of your relationship," he then walked out of the room and in came her very best friends.

"Hiya, sugar cube," Applejack's tone was soft and delicate. Rarity walked in next, tears staining her cheeks with partially blood shot eyes.

"Hey Twi," Rainbow's tone would have sounded laid back if she wasn't visibly shaking a bit. Fluttershy didn't say anything, she didn't even look at Twilight. Her pink mane was in a splayed out mess which covered her face.

"HELLO TWILIGHT!" Pinkie pie said in a forced happy tone. Her voice said one thing, but the eyes said another.

"Hello girls............" Twilight Sparkle finally responded.
