All three of them afraid of danger. They were searching for their saddle bags that had been stolen. " Are you sure about going into the Everfree forest without an adult Anaka? " Alena asked " Of coarse I am. I mean no pony would let us come in here for our saddle bags any way, and pluses I have cupcakes in mine." Anaka replied " Can't you just GET cupcakes from Sugar Cube Corner? " Shadow asked " Yes, but these were special cupcakes they were made out of rainbows and gems." Anaka answerd Anaka was a light brown alicorn with a dark brown mane, tail, and eyes. Her mane and tail style was like pinkie pie's, She dident decide to have it this way she was just born with it. Alena was a dark purple unicorn with a black spikyish mane and tail, and had blue eyes. Shadow was a dark blue Pegasus with a black helmat on. She had a wavy grayish blueish mane and tail and had turcose eyes. " Shadow do you have the map in your helmat? " Alena asked " Yes, yes i do " Shadow replied wile putting her hoof in her helmet to get the map. " Can i look at it? " " Sure " Shadow aswerd as she handing the map to Alena " So were here " Alena said pointing to the old princesses caslte with her hoof " And we gotta go behind the caslte and go strait till we get to that mountain and go iniside the cave. Then we get our saddle bags turn around and head back to ponyville. " The three looked up to see the abandond caslte across a bridge. " Well it looks like we gotta cross the bridge. " Anaka said to her friends. " Well then lets go! " Shadow said. And with that the three crossed the bridge, went behind the castle, and went inside the cave in the mountain. " How did they even get in here agien? " Alena asked " Dont you remeber that theif in the black tux stole them. Luckly with my magic, I tracked them in here." Anaka answerd " Oh yea " " Well what are we waiting for? Lets grab them and go! " Shadow said. So the three walked up to their bags when they herd a loud thud. The three turned around to see the entrance was gone. " What the, wered it go? " Shadow asked. The other two shruged and looked around. " Lets just grab them and use our magic to get out. " Alena said. The other two nodded, and the three grabed their bags. They were about to turn around when they herd a thud on the other side of the little cave. The stone wall opened leaving the three fillies mouths opened. " Its like this cave is controlled by pistons! " Anaka said raiseing her hoof. " So what, lets just go around the mountain or fly over it to ponyville. " Shadow said " Alena, arent your metal wings in your saddle bag " " Yes " Alena replied " Then put them on and le-" Shadow was cut off by a zoom sound from Anaka flying out of the cave. Shadow rolled her eyes " Really? " She said. The went out side and looked up to see if their friend was their but she wasn't. "GUYS! " Anaka shouted while flying down. Anaka took a smooth landing. " Theirs no way up or around I tried to fly up the whole mountain but its to high, iv never seen a mountain that tall its weird. Its like theirs no way out." She explained. " Dang well that sucks. " Shadow said as she looked behind them. " Huh what's that?" Shadow asked while pointing a hoof at a piece of paper on a tree. Alena yawned " Well what ever it is, it can wait till morning. " Alena said yawning. Then the three fell asleep in the woods. ------------------------ Rainbow dash yawned as she woke from her unpleasant dream. She stretched for a bit, then sat up. Things are quiet, there's not a sound to be heard. Too quiet. She thought to herself while getting off the bed. She walked over to Anaka's room to check on her. She usually wasn't that quiet in her sleep. She was one of those pony's who tossed and turned in their sleep. Rainbow dash opened the door and peeked inside. She quietly walked over to the bed, seeing that she must have went under the covers. Rainbow carefully lifted the covers and saw that Anaka was not there. Rainbow gasped and imminently flew around the house searching for her niece. After she had looked everywhere, the house was a mess. But Rainbow ignored the fact that her house looked like it had been struck by a tornado. Then Rainbow thought that she must've snuck over to the library to have a secret sleepover because Alena was spending the night had Twi's while the rest of her family was spreaded across Equestria. Rainbow quickly flew over to the library to inform Twilight that Anaka had gone missing, and came over to spend the night with her friends. Rainbow arrived at the library and knocked on the door. Twilight groaned has she woke up from the loud noise coming from down stairs. Twilight quietly went down the stairs and to the door so she wouldn't wake any pony up. She opened the top half of the door and saw Rainbow with a worried expression. " Rainbow what's rong and why are you up so early its 1 am in the morning! " Twilight whispered " Sorry Twi but this is important. You see Anaka wasn't in bed when I checked on her, so I thought she must've snuck here to have a sleepover with her friends. " Rainbow dash explained. . " Sorry Twi but this is important. You see Anaka was not in bed when I checked on her so I thought she must've snuck here to have a sleepover with her friends." Rainbow dash explained " Oh really, let me go look. " Twilight turned around and went to Shadows room to see if all three girls were sleeping in Shadows room. Twilight opened the door and saw that there was no pony to be found! She quickly galloped back to the door using her magic to put her saddle bag on her. " Their not there! " Twilight said panicking. " Did Anaka say something about something she wanted to do? That might give us a clue." "Well she did say that she wanted her saddle bag back. " Rainbow said looking up. " If any pony saw a missing saddle bag they would go door to door asking around if it belonged to any pony. " Twilight said while opening the bottom half of the door and walked out. " That could only mean one thing" Dash said " The Everfree forest. " > The first note and the first sight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anaka woke up and rubbed her eyes. Her eyes then shrunk. " WHAT THE-!" She said while jumping off of Alena. " Oh." She said panting, " Its was just a dream." Anaka then heard two yawns and looked back at her friends. "Morning." Alena got up from the ground and rubbed her back " Why does my back hurt? " " Sorry that was me." Anaka said blushing and looking down. " You guys remember that piece of paper? " Shadow said getting up. " Yeaaa." Alena said then looked back " It's over there. " The three fillies put on their saddle bags and started trotting toward the note. Anaka took the note from the tree and read it. HE IS HERE it said. Anaka continued looking at the note and Shadow and Alena looked behind her to read it to. " That creepy. " Shadow said " I know. " Anaka replied while putting the note on her saddle bag. "Girls I think it's best we look for a way out. We don't wanna get stuck here. " Alena said. The other two fillies nodded on agreement and they. Set off. ............ " They can't be in there they just....Can't!" Rainbow said with a worried look. " I'm sorry Dash, but we've searched the whole town and couldn't find them. The only choice left is here." Twilight said " So let's just go maybe Zecora saw them." Twilight continued trying to comfort the cyan pegasus. Rainbow nodded in agreement and the two ran into the Everfree forest. .............. " It's been all day now and we haven't found anything and it's getting dark! " Anaka complained due to her boardness. " It's ok Anaka, we'll go for another hour or so then rest up. Due to the sun it's only seven. " Alena said trying to comfert Anaka. After about thirty minutes they sky was completely black with white dots everywhere. Anaka sighed, she wanted to be home resting in her warm bed with her Wonderbolt plushie. While she was thinking about how good it would be to be home she held her forehead and crunched her eyes in pain. Alena and Shadow noticed and looked back " Anaka! Are you ok? " Alena asked with a worried expression on her face. " Everything so blurry, fuzzy, all it does is go WRRERERERTTTTT......" Alena and Shadow looked at each other with confused faces, Anaka had never said stuff like that. And they knew she's completely crazy sugar or no sugar. " WHAT THE FRIDGE IS THAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Anaka screamed. The other two look at what Anaka was pointing at and imminently reacted. " Anaka get up! Spawn a weapon and weapon! Just do it! " Shadow screamed, " Alena same as you spawn a weapon!" " What about you shadow?" Alena asked. " I'll use regular attacks just hurry!" Shadow shouted. Anaka spawned a diamond sword and Alena spawned some arrows and a bow. The pony hidden in the shadows teleported away ad in front of the trio about a yard away. The trio made angry expressions waiting for the battle to begin, but to their surprise the mysterious pony teleported away. The three looked at each other and shrugged. ............… <8:45> Anaka yawned she needed her shut eye. " Night guys……" She said slowly and used her magic to make her pass out. "She's right we should probably get some rest." Alena said. Shadow nodded and the two lied down next to Anaka and fell asleep. ….………… Twilight and Rainbow dash made it to Zecoras house and knocked on the door. The door was immendenlty the door was open. " Hello what brings you two here?" The zebra asked. " Anaka, Shadow, and Alena dissapered-" Rainbow said before getting interrupted by Twilight. " They were no where in town-" Twilight said before getting cut off. " The only place left was here-" " Have you seen them?!" They both said together. Zecora sighed " I am afraid I have not. And I hope they are safe to. There is a mysterious tall pony all dressed in black, he has no face and is very pale. I am afraid they have been takin by him." " We gotta find them!" Rainbow said "Zecora were can we find them? " Twilight asked " Behind the old princesses castle their is a mountain with a cave. He takes something that's yours and takes it away. He hides it in t he cave so you will come looking for It but traps you before you can escape. Anypony who goes in never comes out and is never heard from again. " " WE CANT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow exclamed. " Thank you Zecora we'll find a way to survive." Twilight said before the two rushed out. ( Sorry for not makeing Zecora rhyme.)
