Author's Notes:

This chapter will mostly be quick switches between Twilight and her friends and Tom and Sophia. With some Vincent thrown in.

Me and Sophia kept snuggling for a good while and I almost fell asleep, she was still awake however. Goodness knows how long has passed but I honestly did not care, I would happily stay like this with her forever. The forest was very nice at night as all I heard were crickets chirping, water falling and a soft wind blowing.

As I sat there my mind drifted back to the other trapped spirits, hoping that they were now free and Vincent was dead.

"I can't take this anymore!" Vincent shouted as his 2nd last shift ended. Ever since he thought about how all of this started, it has been haunting him. He can't sleep right at night because he has been hearing the cries of the kids he murdered. "Why...Why now? Why did this...regret have to come back now? Why not in a few more days when I will be out of here?"

He slammed his fist into the wall and almost collapsed. "Son...I am sorry. I was on shift on the day of your birthday party, but I could not be there for you. You died because I was not with you and I have never forgiven myself for that, perhaps it's because I don't deserve any." Vincent's mind was rushing to find a solution. He hated this feeling and wanted to be rid of it.

"I need to make this right. I need to show myself I am wrong." Vincent stood up and walked out the front door of the establishment. "I need to destroy those animatronics. If I do then, if their ghosts that are haunting them will be free. But I hope that is not the case. I will not lie, it has been fun, and the feeling from killing those brats, at the time, was great. I am sorry my sons...Angelica...my wife. I have become a monster and I know now that I need to try and make this right." Vincent walked back into the establishment and headed to the safe room, where he found a fire axe. "This will do nicely." He said as a creepy grin grew on his face and he chuckled.

As Vincent left the Pizzeria he failed to see two shadows standing in the corner.

"It's almost time. Should we tell them?"

"No. If they know what we are planning then they might not do it. Just stick to the plan."

"Enjoy your last day of life Vincent." Both of the shadows vanished.

Twilight and her friends were on the edge of the Everfree and all ready to go in with Zecora.

"You lead the way Zecora." Twilight said and Zecora started to show them the way, but her steps were shaky from what she experienced before.

"Twilight, Do you think the elements are really needed to deal with this?"

"Almost every time something unusual has happened, it has lead to something bad. This might be one of those again, so lets deal with it before it becomes something to worry about." She got no reply from Rainbow Dash.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors." Sophia won that round.

"Lucky." She giggled at my comment.

"How about 47 out of 52?"

Me and Sophia had gotten board waiting for dawn so she had the idea of a game of RPS. She was quite good at it, so much that I swear she can see half a second into the future.

"Can we play something else?"

"Like what?" I grinned.

"Your it." I said as I pushed her and flew to the others side of the tree.

"Oh, it is on." She flew after me and kept on chasing me. Sure this is childish, but at this point I don't care. Nobody is here to criticize us and this is the most fun I have had since I arrived in this strange place. Which was 3 days ago when dawn comes around.

We played like this for a few minutes until we heard footsteps on the pathway that was close by. Both me and Sophia flew over and took a look. The same Zebra that I scared off before now had others with her.

"She must have gotten her friends. Or the authorities." Sophia spoke to me next.

"Let's go back to our suits. If they leave then good, if they find us then we can scare them off again and it is night time." I liked the way she was thinking, so we did just that. We each went into ours suits but did not activate them.

"So where at these 'Metal Monsters'" Dash said mockingly with got a look from Twilight.

"Everypony, Listen up. The creatures Zecora mentioned about could not have gone to far, unless it can go faster than Dash, so I want each of you to split up and look for it. Also, don't worry, I have these." Twilight showed 7 pairs of sweat bands, each with a white square on and a jewel under the square. "These have a tracking spell on them, we can find each other if we get lost. If you find them then press the Jewel attached to it"

Each on of them took the one that matched their coat colour and spread out on their search.

"So are we just going to just stay here?" I asked her.

"These Ponies don't seem to have a good technology from what we have seen at the village. So if we just stay like this then they might think we have lost all power and leave us."

"Or take us away." I said.

"Oh, Well if it comes to that then...eh...we can run."

"And if they follow us?"

"Then we fight." She said with a little disappointment.

Bushes that were close to us rustled and we both got ready. When we looked over to who it was we saw a yellow winged one with pink hair.

When she saw us I swore I heard glass cracking, she turned grey and fell over like a perfect statue. She seemed to be unconscious so me and Sophia left the suits to go and check on her.

"Is she ok?"

"She is fine. Just fainted from fright." I told her.

We both sat at the fainted pony and talked for a few minutes it was mostly about what we should do, and I chose to leave. I managed to convince Sophia to do the same, while she did not like it because she thought it would take longer to get home, I told her 'If this one reacted like that, then what about the others?' She seemed to understand my meaning and agreed with me. But just as we were about to activate our suits to leave we heard another voice.

"Fluttershy!" With that we decided to wait, if we activated our suits right now then they would likely make too much noise with them being so close.

"The tracker says she is right over...here." She froze when she saw the one called Fluttershy lying on the ground next to our suits.

"Is she alright?" The orange one asked and then the rainbow one rushed over to her and checked all over her.

"She has no injuries, and she is shaking a little. She was likely shocked into unconciseness." The purple on walked up to our suits and looked at them curiously.

"Are these the things you mentioned about Zecora?" The zebra form before was shaking while looking at us and she nodded. "They are very rusty, so they are old and they look like they have not been active for a long time. But I must say, these are certainly not golems."

The purple one lifted up Sophia's hand and then took a close look at me. I was wanting to just activate my suit and make a run for it but I chose to stay and trust what Sophia had planned.

"What should we do with them?" The White one asked.

Purple's horn lit up and she then touched me forehead with it, and she was shaking in fear.

"Normally Golems are creatures brought to life with machinery or magic...but there was once a time where they were brought to life in a much more...horrible way. The life force of a pony would be ripped from their body and placed in the body and the pony would still be able to feel, to think and to understand. When I used that spell, I felt a lot of sadness and rage."

"Meaning?" Blue asked.

"Meaning that they are asleep now and some pony's life force is trapped in them." They all gasped but then the orange one spoke.

"Twi, I though you never believed in this stuff."

"I really don't, but I still decided read up on them just encase something similar happens or this kind of stuff turns out to be real but inaccurate. Like the prank that we thought was a curse." The orange one continued.

"Do ya know what to do now?"

"Well, there was a spell that was meant to awaken the force in golems. Only I never tested it out because...well...I never thought we would need it. But I could try it from memory. Stay back just encase this goes wrong." All the others stood back and Twilight got to work.

As her horn glow and something that looked like purple dust started to surround me and Sophia and I started to feel like I was getting pulled into the suit. Before I knew it I started to feel the suit switch on and I was soon looking through animatronic eyes again.
