> Slash of the whip > by Taylorthepega > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A light blue pegasus tried to sleep, failing misrably. She looked at her curly brown mane and tail, trying to decide what to do, then went to her younger sister's room. "Dizzle?" the pegasus said to her sister. Dizzle raised her head. "Yes, Sky?" "I can't sleep." Dizzle sighed. She may be younger, but she was braver than Sky was. "What's wrong?" "I have this feeling something' bad is going to happen." Dizzle had been having the same feeling for a while. "Me too. Want to take a walk to get it out of our system?" "Sure." Checking to make sure their older sister was asleep, they went outside. "So, what's on your mind, Sky?" "I just--" Sky was looking the other way, when she heard a muffled scream come from Dizzle. "Dizzle!" Then, a hoof hit her on the head and her world went black. *** Taylor woke up, Feeling as if something bad had happened. Shrugging it off, the light gold pegasus reapplyed her pink eyeshadow, and brushed her light skyblue fluttershy-like mane and pinkie pie tail, then went to wake up her sisters. Surprisingly,Sky and Dizzle were not in bed. Taylor shrugged. The two pegasi were probally downstairs. She flew downstairs, and saw that niether pegasi were downstairs. Panicking, She searched the house for the pegasi. When she didn't find them, she noticed that the door was a little bit open. They must have gone outside! She thought. Running outside, she saw a ribbon. Sky's ribbon! she thought, panicking. running to the phone. "Police!!! My sisters have been kidnapped!!!" *** The mysterious pony looked through her book. It was a year after kidnapping Sky and Dizzle, and they were turning grey like the others..She flipped through her book of pictures of foals and stopped at the unicorn section.She was looking at a picture of a light pink filly with gold poofy mane and tail."No, too young. Too old. Too inexperienced." It went on for a while untill a sevant came in with a plate of cookies and tea."Wrong cookies!" She said, hitting the servant with a whip."Get me the right ones!" The servant whimpered, and the mare lifted the whip threatenly, so that the servant ran to get the cookies."Now back to work..." The mare's voice trailed off as she saw the perfect unicorn filly to kidnap. She read the name under the picture. "Sweetie Belle......" > The Missing Filly in Ponyland > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "That was fun!!! Let's go again!" Sweetie said. "Ah don' no, Sweetie, Ah'm tired of swingin' round n' round." Applebloom said They had just gotten off the swing ride--- for the 10th time. "Applebloom's right, Sweetie." An orange pegasus with a purple mane walked up to them. "We've been going on--- how many times now? 10?" Sweetie sighed. Scootaloo was right.But it wasn't her fault the ride was so fun! They were at Ponyland for a field trip for school. "Let's go find Cheerile." Sweetie suggested.The other two fillies agreed and went to find Cheerile. All of a sudden Scootaloo broke into a gallop. Applebloom galloped after, but Sweetie knew she would never catch up.."Hey guys! Wait up!" But before she could trot to her friends, a hoof hit her head. All she remembered before blacking out was seeing a blue mane and tail, a black body, and feeling a lot of pain. *** Scootaloo stopped. "Applebloom? Where's Sweetie?" Applebloom's eyes had panic in them."ah don' no." Scootaloo refused to panic. She remembered Sweetie complaining of pain in her legs. Maybe thatwas why she hadn't caught up."Let's retrace our tracks." she suggested." Maybe Sweetie is on the way?" Applebloom still looked like she was on the verge of panic, but she nodded. They traced all their tracks, and all they found of Sweetie was the pink ribbon that had been tying her mane. Scootaloo started to panic, and Applebloom had panicked when they found Sweetie's ribbon."Ya'll tell Cheerile, right? I've been panicking too much." Scootaloo nodded grimly. *** "Cheerile!!Cheerile!!" Scootaloo ran in to the area near the bus."Yes Scootaloo?" "Sweetie's gone missing, I'm starting to panic, and Applebloom's starting to go into shock, she's panicking so much!!!" Cheerile was silent. This was a shock to everypony."We'll have to notify everypony to keep a lookout for her. Oh, I don't know how we'll break this to Rarity!" Rarity was Sweetie's sister. They were close, and had been ever since the Sisterhooves Social predictament. "Why,ah'll tell Rarity muhself." Applebloom said, despite her doubts eating her up. Can ah really do this? > Slave Pony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first thing Sweetie noticed when she woke up was that she was in a cabin. Specifically, an extremely dirty cabin. The second thing was that she was turning grey. Her fur, mane, tail, and even her eyes where turning grey."So, she caught you, I assume?" Sweetie jumped and turned around to see a pony that looked exactly like her, only it was a pegasus, and was almost completly grey, except for her eyes, which were grey with a tinge of pink. Her eyes were full of pain and suffering, and she had a lot of scars all over her body. Sweetie shivered at the thought of what might have hurt her so badly.Maybe a song.... Hush Now, Quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, Quiet now, It's time to go to bed Ther filly lifted her ears in surprise, and her color started to return. It's working! Drifting off to sleep, An exciting day behind you Drifting off to sleep, Who knows what tomorrow will find you? Hush Now, Quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, Quiet now, It's time to go to bed "That really cheered me up, thank you." The filly said. She was smiling now, and though she was mostly grey, Sweetie could tell that she was a light blue pegasus with a brown and pink mane and tail that looked like hers. "What's your name?" "Cloudy Skies, but just call me Sky." "Sweetie Belle, but just call me Sweetie." Sky smiled. Sweetie said, "Why am I turning grey?" Sky's smile faded. "There's this spell here, where the ponies working here slowly lose hope. As they lose hope, they turn grey. They also lose their cutie marks." She added. "When I came here, my cutie mark went missing." "What was your talent?" "Singing." Sweetie nodded. "Who do you think the master is?" Sky looked at her. "I've been trying ever since I came here to find that out. Sweetie said, "Why are we here?" Sky said, "The Mistress is turning us into slaves." Slaves?
