Twilight shut off all the lights downstairs, heading for her room. Everyone else had retired to their respective rooms, wanting sleep. Of course, Spike was way ahead of them on all that as he valued his sleep. She trotted upstairs, still thinking about Sweetie Belle's insight into her. She wanted her to be happy, but she had to have her friends to be truly happy again. That's what made her.

She entered her room as the moonlight shined through her window and beamed onto her bed. Twilight closed the drapes, ceasing it's glowing light from entering the room anymore. It only reminded her of Luna and how much she wanted to hurt her. The exhausted unicorn stuck herself within the covers, ready for sleep to take hold of her from today's events. She stared at the oak ceiling, tracing the grain and swirls that ran across it. She watched it as it now seemed to move and dance, and a warm darkness took over her, and gently forced her eyes shut.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get up....

...........

GET UP!

Twilight flashed her eyes open at the voice's command and slowly started looking around. There was a bright light hanging over her, almost blinding her if she looked straight at it. She forced herself to move, but she felt heavy for some reason, and heard a crunching sound when she tried to move her arms. She attempted to move them again, but with every attempt, she felt heavier, almost to the point where she couldn't move at all. To make matters worse, her brain seemed to be lost in a fog, making her feel dizzy and lethargic. She looked around, trying to keep focus before succumbing to this dizziness that lingered in her mind. She tried to move her legs, but something held them in place. She looked over, still trying to keep her mind focused, and saw that all four of her legs were chained. Her mind suddenly seemed to switch on. She frantically looked to what she was chained to. She followed the metal links with her eyes but saw they weren't connected to anything. They went out into what seemed like an endless void of darkness. The chains held her vertically in midair, keeping her bound, and with every attempt to free herself, the chains only rattled. Twilight's body was overcome by a tsunami of fear.

Where am I?

She expected an answer from the other Twilight, but none came.

Where are you?! Where am I!?

Still no answer came. The lavender unicorn was consumed in terror, confused of why she was chained up in this eerie place.

"It's still funny as ever to see how scared and foalish you can be."

Twilight spun her head to her side, her eyes darting everywhere to find the origination of this voice. She knew this wasn't the essence of magic. This voice had a darkness underneath it, a darkness that shook Twilight to her very core.

"W..who are you? Why am I here?! Why am I chained here!?"

She attempted to free of herself of her metal bindings once again, but it was no use.

"You can stop trying to get out of those, it's pointless," the voice mocked.

"Who are you!? Did you do this to me!? Let me out now!" Twilight screamed into the endless void, wiggling her body in anger, wanting out but stopped when she felt a presence near her. She looked in front of her, helpless and hanging vertically in midair, and watched as a black smoke took form in front of her. It rose and took a form of a pony. It was almost built like Applejack's red coated brother, but it only was black, with only red eyes that seemed to sink back in its head. Her eyes looked upon it with astonishment and fear. She felt something emitting from this thing that stood before her. It stood level to her chained body, only staring at her, and she felt terror.

"You should know who I am Twilight," the black form said, "I been with you for ten years. Don't tell me you forgot me so quickly," it said with a sly tone.

"No, I don't, and I don't care who or what you are! Let me go!"

She only wanted out of this prison, whatever it was. She was angry that she was being held here and that this thing put fear in her. She didn't want to be scared but she couldn't help it. This thing seemed to radiate fear and it seeped into her like a poison.

"YOU BETTER CARE BITCH! I'M WHAT MAKES YOUR SORRY ASS!"

Twilight's body froze. The force of this thing's voice shook every bone in her body and turned every organ in her body into mush. This was terror beyond her imagination.

"That's better. Now that I have your attention, I will introduce myself."

The black pony moved towards her and grabbed her lavender cheeks with both it's hooves. She yelped and twisted her body, trying to get away from it but her chains held her firmly in place as she felt its cold touch against her face. It grabbed her cheeks and pressed hard into them. She felt tingles of pain run through her face as she whimpered as this thing pressed up against her muzzle and licked her lips with it's black tongue. It's tongue felt like a snake slithering over her lavender lips and her insides twisted as it slathered saliva across them.

"I am everything you try to keep locked away. I am rage, I am guilt, I am desire, I am power, I am the fear and terror that fills your pathetic body right now.. I'm all the darkness and negativity that is in you all wrapped into one being. You may call me any of these or you can simply call me Malum." It took it hooves off her and backed away from the terrified unicorn.

"And you have always had these chains on you my dear. Your just only realizing it is all."

"W..wha..what? I..I have a..always had these?"

The unicorn was too terrified to speak without stammering at almost every word. This fear in her was none like she has experienced before.

"You made these chains for yourself my dear. Everything that you have held inside has trapped you and bound you. You have had these since your weak friends died like miserable dogs, screaming for their worthless lives."

Twilight narrowed her eyes as her fear was quickly abolished by rage.

"What the fuck you just say about them!? How dare you talk about them like that!"

Twilight thrashed her body to get out of the metal links. She threw herself like an animal, wanting to be free so she could rip into Malum, and make it regret every word.

"SHUT UP! I RULE YOU HERE! I COMMAND YOU TO SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!"

With those commanding words, Twilight went limp, hanging from her bondage, and her rage dissipated as fast as it came and was replaced with fear and terror once more. She was bewildered of how quickly she obeyed it and she felt ice cold. Malum had complete control over her here in this void. She only shook, now realizing that she was powerless against it.

"You see now my dear Twilight? You created this place for me and I have complete control here, and these chains help keep you in your damn place. It amazes me how something as weak and feeble as you made it this long without throwing yourself over a cliff."

"I..I'm n..not w..we..weak," the unicorn stammered.

Malum laughed hysterically.

"Your not weak?! Then what are you? Strong!? Here I thought Pinkie was the funny one!"

Malum laughed a bit more but soon caught it's breath. Twilight started crying. She dropped her head and let out sobs and tears fall down to what was supposedly the floor, but this black void seemed to have no dimensions.

"I am weak. I couldn't help them! They suffered and Luna was the one the whole time! I was too weak to know! I'm sorry."

She believed it that she was weak as the things she saw in Pinkie's memory flooded her mind. She was too weak to help anyone, too weak to even help herself. Malum only stared at her, watching in delight the pain that the unicorn was going through, but it had something better. The sobbing unicorn felt a cold hoof under her chin lifting her face up to meet Malum's red glowing eyes.

"It's okay my dear, I know your in pain of how pathetically weak you are, but that's why I am here. I can give you the strength to destroy those that have wronged you. All I ask is that you willingly give up your soul, mind , heart, and body all to me, and I can guarantee you power to decimate those that stand against you from getting your precious friends back."

Twilight stared into Malum's red eyes that looked right into her very soul. She wanted to kill Luna and get her friends back. Could it really give her the power to kill a Princess, an immortal princess no less?

It only wants to consume you and destroy you along with everything else...

She remembered those words that the other Twilight spoke. This was rage, this was everything that her darkness held, the one that she kept caged within her. It had power, but power to destroy everything....

"N..no, I don't need you..." she whimpered. The fear and dread that consumed her didn't stop her from staring into Malum's seething red eyes.

"Ignorant bitch. Then I will show what true pain and fear is!" Malum yelled.

His body rippled with rage and his eyes glowed a dark red. "You saw how your friends suffered! You will now know how they needed you!"

Malum grabbed her with his hoof and pressed his cold muzzle against hers. Her eyes went back with astonishment, confused with what it was doing. Then she noticed a black ooze coming from its face wrapping over her cheeks. She screamed but they were muffled with its muzzle pressed against hers. She kept screaming and noticed that a her lips were now connected to its deathly cold lips, and it pressed it's tongue and pierced through her mouth like a sword. She felt its slithering tongue curl around hers. She screamed, trying to push it out, but some force over her only made her weak. Malum's tongue curled around hers tenderly, as a lover would, but it knew what it wanted.

Twilight felt the cold tongue's embrace, and she only cried more. What was Malum doing? She was too confused, too scared; she wanted this to end. Her eyes went into shock as she felt its tongue thrust down her throat. She could only choke as it ran down her esophagus. Malum only sneered in seeing how scared she was. It's tongue kept running down deeper and deeper down her throat, until all of a sudden the cold slithering tongue disappeared and was replaced with some fluid. Twilight tears streamed down her face, now choking on the fluid that was now secreting from Malum's mouth. It kept vomiting something in her, and a black sludge seeped out between their connected mouths. Twilight was quickly fading away, her mind was going numb, and she was wishing for this to be death. Malum would deny her such an easy release. It broke away from her mouth, only letting the black substance spill out it's mouth, and smiled manically at her. The unicorn only hung from her chains, throwing up black sludge, and tendrils of saliva hanging from her mouth. Her mind couldn't comprehend what all just happened, and she only stared at the ground wide eyed, watching the puddles of black sludge on the floor.

Dear Celestia, please just kill me...

"I bet you never had a nice make out like that with Pinkie before!" Malum exclaimed in a triumphant twisted manner. "Now feel the pain that your worthless friends endured and face what you really are!"

As if on command, Twilight felt a pain in her stomach. The pain grew and grew until flashes of hot white torture wracked her body. She screamed as loud as her lungs could let her as remnants of the black vomit flew out of her mouth as she screamed for death. The pain was unbearable; she wanted it to end, she wanted to die. She thrashed her body, and the shaking of chains and screams filled the black void . She looked down and saw something poking inside of her stomach as if it was trying to get out. She felt something press against her organs wanting to get out.

"PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!! KILL ME! KILL ME, I BEG YOU!" The now broken unicorn only wanted to die. She didn't know what was happening to her, but she wanted to be dead before she found out.

"BEG TWILIGHT! BEG! CAUSE I WILL ONLY DENY YOU! TIME TO SEE THE REAL YOU!" Maulm cackled.

It enjoyed seeing the unicorn scream for death.

"C'MON, TWILIGHT! YOUR THE ELEMENT OF MAGIC! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE STRONG! YOU CAN ENDURE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THIS!"

Twilight felt something pierce out of her stomach like a huge shard of glass. She looked down and saw a black hoof sticking out of her and covered in her blood, and it was swinging furiously to get out. Twilight's mind shattered at what she was seeing.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! MAKE IT STOP! IT HURTS!PLEASE KILL ME, I DON'T WANT THIS! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"

Malum only laughed. It shook with delight and pleasure as it replied, "BUT IT IS! IT IS! ISN'T IT WONDERFUL! TO FINALLY SEE YOURSELF FOR WHAT YOU ARE TWILIGHT SPARKLE?!"

Twilight screamed louder as she saw another hoof come out now grabbing at her sides as it pulled itself out slowly. blood poured out as her skin of her stomach ripped wider to make room for whatever was coming out of her. Twilight felt blood gurgle out of her mouth, tasting of iron and copper, and only watched in pain and tears as something slid out of the hole in her stomach. The spawn that was slowly sliding out of her grabbed onto her intestines. Twilight's body thrashed, jangling the chains into a horrendous melody of metal clinking mixed with agonizing screams.

"AHHHHH, STOP! STOP!"

"Its almost over! Now look upon what you are before you die! Look!"

Twilight felt her innards rip out, and a gush of dark blood spewed from her mouth. Her head went dizzy and she felt her body going cold and a darkness was setting in slowly.

"I SAID LOOK!"

Without question she lifted her head a final time while blood poured out of her mouth, and remnants of organs hanging out of her ripped flesh, and gazed upon the bloodied pony. She watched as it rose with her intestines hanging over the rising body, and blood running down it's body. It grabbed the ripped organs and threw them off, and wiped the blood that covered it's face. Twilight's eyes fluttered as the cold embrace of death came closer for her, but not before she laid her eyes on the bloodied body that was now obviously a pony.

"Hello Twilight," It said.

It walked over to the chain bound unicorn whose life was waning away faster with each minute. Twilight met it's eyes. They were red and outlined in dark purple, but she knew that it was her. This was the spawn of her darkness. This was what she truly was on the inside. Eyes seething with hate and anger with a crooked smile, and her body covered in blood. Twilight knew this was what she was and with that, she only looked away, ready to die. She lifted her head.

That odd light was still hanging over her and it grew until it engulfed her.....

---------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight woke up in her bed, gasping, drenched in sweat. She quickly pulled the sheets off and checked her own body. There was no blood and no gaping hole in her stomach. She got up and noticed that her bed sheets were soaked in sweat, but her mind was elsewhere.

That was a dream??

She was bewildered. She walked over to the restroom and splashed some water on her face, trying to make sense of what just happened.

How could that be a dream? It felt real...

Something bothering you?

Twilight looked at herself in the mirror, seeing her mane all over the place, and her fur caked with her sweat from before.

Didn't you see it??

This thing lived in part of her mind. How could it not see the hell that she just went through? How did it not see that nightmare that she endured?

Your dreams belong to you Twilight Sparkle. I can't see what you dream, but guessing from the way your acting, it must have not been good.

No shit...

I heard that....

Twilight threw her hoof into her face, forgetting that it could read her thoughts also. Her mind wandered, trying to figure out why she had such a hellish nightmare. The picture of Malum's face stuck in her mind. It's red seething eyes, and that other Twilight that was ripping out of her stomach made Twilight shudder. She put her hoof over her stomach for reassurance that there was nothing there. She felt disgusting and dirty thinking about Malum's tongue going into her throat.

She walked over to her shower and turned it on. She knew it was still the middle of the night but she needed it. She turned the knob to release the water that would hopefully wash this feeling of disgust away. She let the hot streams of water hit her face, and she fully gave herself to it. Her mane and body were now drenched, but she still felt disgusting. She remembered the cold black tongue that swam through her mouth, the black sludge that she choked on, and Malum's outburts of rage. She still couldn't beleive that it was a dream. She felt it happening to her and the fear...was too real.

Twilight sat down in the shower, and sobbed with the running water. The fear that she experienced was terrifying. It wasn't a fear that she had before but this was pure fear at it's finest. It scared her even now, where she was safe within the confines of her home. This dream or nightmare induced such fear into her that she could only cry while the hot water splashed across her.

What is wrong?

Twilght did not want this voice talking now. She wanted to be alone.

Leave me alone.

But your obviously distressed about something. Considering how you were earlier, I must say it has something to do with that dream.

It's nothing.

Twilight stood up, not wanting this voice to give her some type of lecture. It did not see what she just experienced, because if it did, it wouldn't want to know. She stepped out of the shower and dried off.

Twilight, you need to let your feeling..

I SAID IT'S NOTHING! Now go away! I don't want to hear your all knowing fucking wisdom!

She was tired of this. She did not need a lecture or some lesson right now, what she needed was some type of comfort. She knew it was a dream, but she needed to know it wasn't real, because it felt nothing but real.

She walked back to her bed and gathered the sheets. They were simply soaked in perspiration, and there was no way in Equestria that she was going back to bed now. She would have Spike clean them once he woke up, and it would give her a good time to talk to the dragon about Pinkie some more.

She opened the door to her room and descended downstairs as quietly as possible, not to wake any pony up. She went down the last step and noticed a small light in the kitchen. She must have left it before she went to bed. She headed over to the kitchen as thoughts of the dream still swam in her head. She entered the kitchen, and saw what looked like a pony getting hit by a train.

Pinkie sat on the floor with five or six bottles of empty cider around her, and one being chugged down by the pink drunk mare. Her mane was sticking out all over the place, more than usual, and a strong smell of alcohol permeated the air around her. Her blue eyes were glazed over, not noticing the lavender unicorn that now stood before her.

"Ohhhh heyyyy theeeere Twi! Whatcha ya been up toooo." Pinkie slurrred.

Twilight only looked at her with disappointment and decided to push her dream to the side for Pinkie's sake.

This is going to be a long night.....
