***Chapter Nine***
Magenta awoke as the sun were rising. First, she tought she were in her bed at Sweet Apple Acres, but then she felt a cold breeze and heard some strangers talk to each other. Then she remembered what happened and with once, she became widely awake. She sat up and looked at the strangers who had given her shelter for the night. They were both unicorns. Their coat were a shimmering yellow and their tails and manes were red with white streaks in it. One of them had a moustache and they both had emerald green eyes. They were probably brothers.
"Good morning, miss! How are you feeling?" The younger one asked, the one without the moustache. Magenta shook her head.
"I'm feeling fine... Thank you..." She said with a drousy voice.
"You are very welcome pretty miss! We were a bit surprised when you showed up last night!... Oh dear, forgive us! My brother and i seem to have forgotten our manners!" The older one said. "We haven't even introduced ourselves yet! My name is Flam..."
"And i am Flim! And if i may ask, what is your name?" The younger one said and offered an apple to Magenta. She politely accepted the small fruit and told them her name.
"Magenta huh? Now why do that ring a bell?" Flam said and stroked his moustache.
"I don't know..." Magenta said, and feared that the rumor about her blank flank had spread even outside of Ponyville. But then she remembered that she didn't wear her coat and they hade probably already seen her blank flank, and so far they haven't brought it up. "I come from Sweet Apple Acres, in Ponyville. Oh, i need to get back there! There has been an accident, a terrible one, and i need my friends to know that i am okay!" She said and stood up, but the boys strange reaction made her hesitate. When she told the where she came from, they both seemed to get startled and Flim got shifty eyes.
"I really need to get back, you don't happen to know the way, do you?" Magenta said and took a bite out of the apple. She flinched and looked at the apple. It tasted familiar... Like one of Sweet Apple Acres apples! She shifted her eyes to look at the unicorns. Flam had gotten something dark in his eyes.
"Yes, we know the way..." He said with a cold touch in his voice. Magenta felt her heart rate pick up. "But i don't think we can let you go..."
Magenta began to add upp the evidence. And as the seconds passed, she began to realize who these stallions might be. And suddenly she remembered the dream she had last night and could finally give the two tall unicorns in her dream faces. And names. They were Flim and Flam.
"Have you found anything yet?" Twilight Sparkle shouted to Pinkie Pie, who were looking in the ruins of Sweet Apple Acres after any signs of Magenta.
"Yeah! Tons of stuff! But no Mags!" Pinkie replied and held up a broken umbrella.
Rainbow Dash kicked a bucket that were lying around.
"Buck it all!" She screamed. The blue pegasi were furious with herself because she couldn't find her friend before or now. And now, she were probably dead too...
"What about the Everfree forest?" Rarity said and gracefully avoided the bucket as it came flying towards her.
"Yeah! The water went that way, right?" Pinkie Pie said and lifter her head out of a barrel of apples that had been flipped over. She swallowed a mouthful of apples. "Perhaps Zecora knows something!"
And so the mane six, or five since Applejack wouldn't get out of the hospital until tomorrow, ventured out to search for Magenta in the Everfree forest, who conveniently laid next to Sweet Apple Acres.
They shouted out for Magenta as they passed through the forest, but didn't get any answer. They kept walking until they came to a cabin in the forest. Everywhere there were urns and flasks spread about and the place was decorated with feathers, dried flowers and masks. Thats were Zecora the zebra lived.
