Chapter Nine: Mystery In The Everfree

The seven friends were stood right by the entrance of the forest. They were all quiet and still. Nightingale sighed. She felt a hoof on her shoulder. She looked to the side of her to see Sky beside her,

"Like Bunny said, we're gonna stick together and do this together." She assured,

"Eeyup." Cinnamon agreed. Ivory, Bubble, Cocoa, and Bunny had smiles on their faces as Bunny gave a small nod,

"Thanks, girls." Nightingale said facing the forest, "Now let's set off into the Everfree." She said a little more confident. And with that, she led them into the dark abyss.

As the light faded away, Nightingale and Ivory lit their horns for light. Nightingale took the book the follow the map to the castle. It was a long time of silence, for everypony was on the lookout for anything strange. It wasn't until Sky's sharp eye caught a blue light. And a yellow light, pink light, white light, orange light, purple light and lavender light...

"Uh... Guys..." She said with a gulp. The lights began to surround them. They all stood together. A sudden gust of wind whipped the book right out of Nightingale's magic grip. Everypony gasped in fright. Nightingale and Ivory's lights went out. It was pitch dark. No light, the only thing they had were those seven mysterious orbs,

"I can't light up my horn!" Nightingale cried,

"Neither can I! Sky, Bunny. Please do be a dear and fly us all out!" Ivory said,

"Why can't you use your magic?!" Sky said,

"My magic is off, and I'm guessing Nightingale's is as well since the two of us are not doing anything!" Ivory yelled. Sky rolled her eyes, not that anypony saw. She attempted to fly up, but with no avail. She kept trying and trying, but it didn't work,

"I can't!"

A small voice squeaked, "Let me try." But as it turned out, Bunnyflower couldn't fly as well,

"So... What are we going to do now..?" Cinnamon asked. Nightingale looked at the lights and realized something. Yes, she and her friends were holding on to each other, but there were individual lights in front of all the ponies and Cocoa. And that lavender light in front of her... It looked familiar...

"Girls, go the light in front of you."

"You want us to do what?!" They all questioned in unison.

"Just trust me!" A sudden howl echoed through their ears. The wind became stronger, and the lights were going away, in different directions!"

"Let's get to it!" Bubble Lime chanted as she happily hopped after the pink light that was in front of her,

"Bubble you idiot!" Sky yelled, "No turning back now!" She said as she disappeared into the dark trying to overtake the blue light.

"Ahm' sure y'all are gonna be regrouped again." Cinnamon sighed as she trotted after the orange light.

Ivory sighed, "I'm sure this will be icky." And she ran after the white light. Nightingale look over at the trembling mare,

"It'll be alright, Bunnyflower. You have to trust me. They all went. Like Sky said, 'no turning back now'." Bunnyflower looked at Nightingale with tears flowing from her eyes. She nodded her head as she walked in the direction the yellow light went.

"So, do you think Cinnamon is right, and that we'll regroup?" Cocoa asked,

"I'm sure of it." nightingale replied. And like that, Cocoa Pop scurried after the purple light. Nightingale sighed as she faced the direction the lavender light went, "I'm not sure what you're up to, Princess Twilight. But all I know is that you, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Spike are here to help us." And Nightingale quickly ran after the lavender light. It wasn't long until the light expanded into some kind of portal and Nightingale fell right through it...
