Spike walked into Twilight's bedroom. “Rainbow Dash called over, she said she's expecting you at some mare named Electra's house in around ten minutes." Twilight yawned and opened her eyes to see the purple and green baby dragon in front of her. Tired, she got out of bed.
“Thanks for the heads up Spike, we're helping this new pony Electra move her stuff from her old house." She then left to help her friends. She met the two outside of Electra's house.
“Fluttershy's late?"
Electra nodded and rolled her eyes. “Oh well."
Right on cue the yellow Pegasus slowly fluttered her way over to the other three waiting for her.
“Oh my, sorry for not being on time, you see Angel wouldn't eat his breakfast and I had to…"
“Okay, we can cut the apologies, we're already late as it is."
They flew to Cloudsale and made it in thirty minutes. “My house is at the edge of the city, we just need to head west." The others nodded and followed the white mare through the city. They came across the last house in the city.
“I'm guessing this one's yours." Rainbow Dash said.
Electra nodded and took out the key. “We just need to collect some items that can't be replaced easily, like furniture you don't collect, but stuff like books, photos or any personal items of mine, there are boxes beside the door."
Twilight lifted the boxes with her magic, a dark pink aura covered the boxes and lifted them into the air. “Let's get to it, the quicker we get it done the better."
The four got into the abandoned house and collected items. Then the reached Electra's bedroom. Electra turned to Twilight. “Dashie said you liked books, don't you."
Twilight nodded.
“Well, there are some books I've already read back to front, maybe if there are some that you don't have, you'd like to take some of them along with you."
Twilight then looked around for a book she didn't own. Then she saw the spine of one book she haven't seen before. It was a black book what had no title. She was intrigued and took it along with her. Along with some others, she saw another that was blank, but that one was purple.
“She has a whole shelf of these," she thought, “all different colours, and in a pattern, it starts with white and ends at black, maybe it's like a series."
“Yo Twily, you coming back to Ponyville?" Twilight woke out of her daze and saw that the other three had the three boxes filled.
“I'm coming!" She lifted the books into the box and took off with the rest back home.
Electra looked one last time at her old house. “So many memories at this place, now I'm just leaving it behind forever."
Rainbow Dash looked back at Electra.
“We all gotta move at some point, you'll get over it, everyone does."
Electra nodded and joined the others to the ride back to Ponyville.
“Thanks for all the help you guys," Electra said while blushing, “now I'll let you all get back to whatever you guys do, maybe Twilight can get to those books."
Rainbow Dash followed Twilight back to the castle. “So, I see you got a lot of books there, I'd never expect you to actually have books you've never read."
Twilight rolled her eyes and walked back to the castle.
“There's something strange about these books, I've never seen them anywhere before, no titles either, only colours, there are seven of them, white, purple, blue, red, orange, yellow and black in order."
Rainbow Dash nodded. “You go investigate, if you see anything that may intrest me, like a monster or something, let me know and I'll destroy it."
Twilight nodded and watched Rainbow Dash fly away.
“Let's see here, so, I'll start with the white and go all the way up to black."
Twenty minutes later, Spike walked into the room where twilight was seating, he saw that she had all the books spread all over the table.
“Spike, these books aren't actually books, they're journals, but no ordinary ones for sure."
“How is it not ordinary? Sure she set them on her shelf like they were normal books and have seven ones, but maybe she just likes writing in them."
“It's what's inside the journals Spike, look!"
She showed Spike the first of the seven, the white one. It showed a filly around the age of seven. It was a pegasus, she had a dark purple coat, a blue mane and tail in a long and straight style, she had red eyes, a yellow lightning strike cutie mark, an orange hair band and had white at the bottom of her hooves. She showed him a summary she wrote down, that the filly occasionally wrote about having strange visions in her dreams about a dark magic of some sorts. Then at the end of the book it showed the picture of the filly, but the end of her hooves were no longer white but black.
Purple, it started with the same picture at the start but at the age of eight, but the summary read something about her having nightmares about the dark magic, but it appearing as a black wisp. Then at the end, the filly in the picture's goat changed from purple to white,
Blue, it started with the same picture from the start at the age of nine, but the summary read about the girl having visions during the day about the wisp, but this time in the shape of a pony. The end had her but with her mane faded from blue to white.
Red, it started with the same picture at the age of ten, the summary read about hallucinations of the dark pony but as a unicorn, the end showed her with eyes changed from red to yellow.
Orange, it started with her as eleven, the summary read that she heard the ponies voice sometimes, telling her to do terrible things. The end had her with her hair band switched to black.
Yellow, it showed her as twelve, it read that she would have full length conversations with her, the end showed her cutie mark shaded black.
“Here's the one that scares me the most."
Black, it started with her as thirteen, she was hanging with a grey pegasus with a red mane and a yellow spot on her muzzle. The summary read of her being possessed and attacking ponies, the end showed her and her friend, but instead of that mare's appearance being altered, the friend's wings were gone, and replaced with mechanical versions of wings.
Twilight read over one more entry.
Today the wisp I've been troubled by fir six years have finally taken control and Darla has gotten involved in the worst possible way, it's only happened once, but it must never happen again, if I can make more friends the spirt of fear and sadness can finally leave, and nopony can ever be harmed again, but Darla has been injured severely, any other best friends I'd make would probably do the same, no one must know…
“This mare, her mane, her coat, her cutie mark, after the incident she changed her mane and tail style, it's Electra, she's possessed by a spirt that feeds off her fear and sadness from her being alone, when she finally makes a best friend, the creature became threatened and got Electra to hurt Darla. Rainbow Dash is now friends with Electra, she could be in great danger."
“So, isn't Electra that new pony that Dash seemed to hit it off with yesterday?"
Twilight nodded. “I should warn her before it's too late.
Spike picked up the books. “Just take these too, need a bit of evidence."
Twilight nodded and picked them up with her magic. “You're right Spike, she may think I'm jealous."
Spike laughed, “I better come too, so she won't see you as biased as I've never met the gal."
Smiling, Twilight placed Spike on her back and she flew away in search for Rainbow Dash.
On their way they already ran into her. “Hey Twilight! I'm on my way to see Electra."
“Yes, Rainbow Dash, tarts actually what I need to talk to you about."
“Can you say it later? I'm supposed to meet with her?"
“No, this is urgent! We need to talk right now!"
Rainbow Dash sighed. “Fine, but make it quick."
Twilight sighed with relief and flew down, she told Rainbow Dash what she had read, but Rainbkw Dash didn't believe her.
“Electra? A monster? That's nonsense!"
“I know that it's hard Dash, but it's true…"
“No it's not!" Rainbkw Dash intererupted, “I've known her more than you have!"
Spike ran up to her. “No. It's true."
“Look, you barely even know her, so if she was some mare possessed by a demon I'd know, so see ya!" In a rage Rainbow Dash stormed off.
Electra found Rainbow Dash at her door, still fuming. “Dash, are you okay?"
Rainbow Dash calmed down a bit and sighed. “Electra, are you possessed by a demon?"
Electra stood back a bit. “No… what makes you say that…"
“Twilight was reading some blank journals and think that they lead to you as the victim."
“Journals?" Electra ran around the house, knocking over her journal from Darla. Rainbiw Dash read it.
“Secret? Darla? Accident? Is this anything to do with Twilight's predictions?" Rainbow Dash said to herself, “so… she was right about her… but I…"
“What are you doing?!" Rainbow looked up and saw Electra facing her looking rather stern.
“What is your secret?" Rainbow Dsah picked up the journal.
Electra's eye twitched. “Dash, put it down," her voice sounded desperate and pleading. Dash held onto the journal.
Then Electra's voice deepened. “Now shouldn't have done that!"
A black mist appeared. It covered Electra. Rainbow Dash watched, unable to move from the shock, she saw Electra trying to resist but the dark magic was too strong. Tears streaming from her eyes Electra utters one more word to Rainbow Dash…
“Run…"
