I trotted through the halls of Twilight's castle, looking for Discord or/and Spike. I knew that this would be the only place they would be at now. I couldn't believe that Celestia was starting to suspect that I was seeing things again. I guessed I shouldn't have been that shocked. This was how I had acted the last two times. I couldn't let her find out the truth. I needed to find Discord and we needed to stop this. We were so close to figuring out what was happening to us. I looked room after room but couldn't find them. Where were they? Maybe they weren't here at the castle. They could have left. No, they had to be here. Where else could they go? I kept looking. It didn't help that I actually never been in Twilight's castle that much. I had only been there a few times, so I didn't know my way around that much. It was like being stuck in one of those corn mazes.

"Discord? Spike? Are you there?" I called out through the halls.

There was no response. So I kept trotting down the hall. I decided to call out again a little louder this time.

"Discord?"

This time somepony heard me for I got a response. It was Discord. He sounded shocked to hear me or he was making sure it was me and he wasn't hearing things.

"Luna?"

I answered him. "Yes. It's me. Where are you?"

There was a sudden bright flash in my eyes that caused me to step back a little. It took a few seconds for my eyes to clear up. When they did, I saw that Discord was in front of me. I never thought that I would be so happy to see him. I was just hoping that he felt the same.

"Oh. Look who's here," he said, a hint of anger in his voice. "What do you want now? I thought you were going back to reality."

I groaned. I knew this was coming. "I'm afraid this is my reality. I need your help," I said.

He scoffed a little. "Hmm. Well, that's a funny way of saying you're sorry."

I put my head down. "I'm sorry."

He crossed his arms."For what?"

"About the argument."

He scoffed again. "Try again."

"Okay. I'm sorry for walking off yesterday."

"You really think I'm mad about that?" He asked sternly.

"What? Then what are you mad at me for?"

"I'm waiting, princess," he said, his arms cross.

"Really? You're really going to be like that?" I asked madly.

He didn't say anything. I could tell that he sightly was enjoying this.

"Okay...Ummm I'm sorry for…"

To be honest I wasn't sure what Discord wanted me to say sorry for. It could have been for trotting off since it wasn't about the argument we had days ago but Discord was used to ponies not wanting his help or wanting help himself. I looked at him nervously. I didn't know what to say to him.

"Ponies always expect me to give them the answers and be like them but even then they still leave me on my own."

I still didn't say anything. I felt really bad for him but didn't know what he was trying to say to me. Discord scoffed sightly in disappointment and was about to teleport away.

"Wait." I paused and looked up at him. I tried to put more thought in what he was telling me. It was then that I realized what he was upset at me about. In some ways, the same thing that made me upset at everypony else.

"I'm sorry for not trusting you. You have been trying to help me and all I have done is push you away. I kept telling myself that this wasn't real but I always knew that it was all along but never wanted to admit it."

Discord looked at me carefully. I knew why. He needed to know if I was having any meaning to what I was saying.

I continued. "I'm sorry for leaving you alone to deal with this by yourself. I should have come to you sooner. I should have tried to help you instead of leaving you all alone. I'm sorry."

Discord uncrossed his arms and took a sighed deeply. "You didn't even bother to ask me if I was okay. I came to you. I tried to help you but you pushed me away. You didn't care if I was hurting."

"I do care. When Fluttershy told me that you were missing I was worry that something happens to you."

"Then why didn't you come looking for me?" Discord asked.

"Because I thought if I stayed away and tried to fix this myself that nothing bad would happen to you, to anypony else, but I was wrong. I'm just so used to handling things myself."

He walked up to me and put his paw on my cheek. "You don't have too. Not anymore. That's all I been trying to say to you."

I smiled when he said that. "I'm starting to see that. I think it's time for us to work together."

"Good. Now let's actually do something before this day gets even sappier then needed," He laughed.

"Sounds good to me," I replied as I gave a small laugh.

There was a loud over an exaggerated sigh of relief coming from behind me. I turned around and saw Spike standing there. He was wearing a small camcorder bag while holding a book in his claw.

"Finally. You two are talking to each other. Great. Now we might be able to get somewhere and stop this. It's about time. It took you guys long enough."

Discord and I gave a small laugh. It seemed that he was more relief than we were. But who could blame him? We should have spoken up sooner. I guessed that our fears got the better of us.

"So now what?" Spike asked.

"Actually, there something has to tell you, Discord," I said.

"What is it?" He asked.

"That filly that you and Spike talked about," I started.

"Silver Blitz?" Discord said.

"Umm yes. Her." It was then that I realized that I didn't know her name until now. I never asked her all those years ago. How could I forget?

"I know who she is."

Discord and Spike looked at each other in surprised and confused before looking back at me. "Go on," Spike said eagerly.

"What do you mean Luna?" Discord asked.

"Remember that filly that I told you about?"

"The one that you saw in the forest when you were five, right?" Discord answered.

He remembered which made me smile. That let me know that he really was listening to me. That he really did care.

"Yes. Well, that was her," I said.

"What?" Discord asked in confusion.

"The filly that I saw in the forest is the same one that you and Spike have been seeing," I said to them. They both seemed surprised by what they were hearing. "She came to me a few times too. She told me to go to you."

"When?" Discord asked.

"Tonight."

"So wait. You both been seeing Silver Blitz?" Spike asked.

"I guess so," I answered.

"But why?" Spike asked.

"I don't know. But there's more," I looked at me as there way of asking what.

"I don't think that the Griffin, Dusty, is behind this. I used to think that this was happening because of her but now I don't think that it's her. I think it's Silver Blitz."

"What?!" They both shouted.

"What makes you think that?" Discord asked in disbelief.

"Dusty knows her. She helping her. Silver Blitz told me. She said that they both want the same thing."

Spike groaned loudly. "I knew it. She is trying to trick you."

"What?" I asked.

Discord sighed madly. "Spike here believes that Silver Blitzs is nothing but a demon."

I looked over to Spike. "Is that true?"

Spike looked at me as if I should know why he thought that. "Well yes. She has been controlling the whole thing. Telling you guys what to do and you both been giving into her and listening to her."

"She wants our help, Spike. That's what she wants," Discord defended her.

"That is the trick! She wants you to think that" Spike shouted at Discord.

I listened carefully at Discord and Spike. It was clear to me that this wasn't the first time that they had this argument. "What would she accomplish from this?"

"Control. Power. That's what demons do. They get power from ponies," Spike said madly.

I did my best to stay calm with him. "But what would she accomplish by that?" I tried to more clearer with my question.

"When a demon has control of somepony, they can get them to do anything."

Discord laughed and scoffed at Spike's comment."Like what?"

"Well, kill somepony, or themselves or both," Spike answered simply as if he was excepted us to know all of this.

"She's not a demon. End of story." Discord then he turned his head to me."Why did she want you to go to me?"

"She said I would get the answers I wanted if I did."

"How?"

"I don't know. It's just what she told me," I said to him.

Discord's made a look as if he realized something and asked suddenly. "Wait, you lived in Pallin town?"

"What?" I asked confusedly.

He looked back to Spike."Where's the Phoenix?"

"Back at the library.”

“Go get it. Now."

"Okay, okay. Give me a minute." Spike then ran off.

Discord walked to me and started pulling in the same direction that Spike ran off to. That was when I looked down and saw his wrapped up hand. I hadn't realized that Discord had gotten hurt. I couldn't believe it took me this long to noticed it soon.

"Discord, where are we going?"

"Crystal Empire. I need you to see something," He answered quickly. He kept a tight grip on me as if he was making sure that I would stay by him.

I pulled away from him and stopped trotting. "Okay, what? Why?"

"Like I just said, you need to see something," he repeated himself.

"What happened to your hand?" I then asked.

"Please, Luna. Just bare with me." He sighed heavily, trying to stay calm. "Please."

We stay put until we heard Spike running back to us. He came back with a small golden phoenix in his claws. "Got it."

"Okay, Let's go," Discord said.

He snapped his fingers and the three of us soon found ourselves at the Crystal Empire Library. I wasn't for sure where Discord was going with this. What did I need to see? Was it bad? Was it something that could help us? I looked down at Spike holding the Phoenix. Where did they get it? What was its use for? Why was it important to them? I thought about asking spike but a part of me said to wait a little longer before asking. It wasn't the right time yet. Discord told Spike and me to follow him. We went up to the front desk where the librarian was at. Discord asked about a book that he read a few weeks ago; said that it was important. Must be if Discord was the one reading it. I knew that Discord hated reading so if he was reading a book if must be for a reason. She leads us to a table and told us to wait before she left. A few minutes later she came back with a big book and sat it on the table. Discord quickly opened the book and started flipping through the pages. I stood there patiently, wondering what he was doing and what he wanted me to see.

But I also wondered if this would all be worth it.

I sat down on the chair as Discord looked through the book. Spike stood by me wondering the same thing as me. We didn't know what Discord was up too but he seems to be onto something so I didn't say anything. It wasn't until another a couple of minutes when he finally stopped at a page and walked up to me. He placed the book in front of me and pointed to the page it was on. I looked down at it and saw an old wooden house.

"You recognize that house?" Discord asked me.

I looked carefully at it. "No, I don't." I looked down at it again. "At least I don't think so."

"Did you remember where you lived when you were a filly?" Discord then asked.

"I do remember that," I replied.

"Pallin Town?" Spike said, surprised. "You actually lived there?! With Berry Tarts!?"

Discord covered his mouth as he tried his best not to laugh. Spike and I both looked weirdly at him. "I'm sorry. I can't help it." I smirk and rolled my eyes. I couldn't be mad at him. It was rather an unusual name.

"Don't get too excited. My family left a year before he was caught."

"So you left before-" Spike started to say.

"Yes before...it happened." I was referring to the events that took after the killer was arrested for his crimes.

"Lucky you," Discord said. I shrugged when he said that. I wouldn't say that I was with everything that had happened to me. That would be the last word that I would use on myself. But I knew what he meant. He didn't mean any harm by that.

"It was a shame what happened to them," I stated when a realization came to me. "Wait, what does this have to do with anything?" I asked Discord.

"Silver Blitzs was one of his victims that he killed," Discord answered with a mix of sadness and anger in his voice.

I gasped as I covered my mouth. "Oh my. That poor filly. Wait a second." I took another look at the house on the page. I learned in more closely to get a better look at it. My eyes widened. I did remember the house.

"What is it, Luna?" Discord asked.

"I do remember this house. It's the one that I took her to," I explained to them.

"I don't follow," Spike said.

Discord and I realized that Spike had no idea what we were talking about. He didn't know that I saw Silver Blitzs when I was a filly because no one told him. I only told Discord but not Spike. I guessed Discord didn't Spike either. I thought he would have but he didn't. Discord explained to Spike what I told him when we tried to sneak into the bar. He didn't go into full details like I did but he told Spike enough for him to understand. Spike just listened to him without saying a word. I could tell by the look on his face that he was getting a little mad. I didn't know who or why. Maybe he was only getting more convinced that Silver Blitzs wasn't who she said she was. I honestly never put into the thought that she might be a demon like Spike had said. I didn't know what to think about her. I wanted to believe that she wanted my help but you never really know who you can trust.

Discord looked confused at me. "You took her to this house? Why?"

"I believe this was where she lived if I remember correctly. That's what she told me at least."

I heard Spike mumble something to himself. "That can't be right," he said.

"Luna, this was where Berry Tarts lived," Discord said. "Why would she tell you to go there?"

"I don't know," I answered. It confused me too. She told me back then she wanted to go home. If that was the case why would she go back to where she died? Back to the one who killed her? It didn't make sense to me. She told me that she was trapped and she wanted to be free. I didn't understand what she meant by that at first. Now though, I was started to see what was happening here and what she wanted.

"She told me that she wanted to be free," I said.

Spike asked," Free of what?"

"Berry Tarts, duh," Discord said. "That's what she wants."

"True," I started, "But why involve both of us?"

"You got me on that one," Discord responded.

"Why does she want your help?" I asked. "How can you even see her?"

Discord laughs a little but not like the way you would laugh when somepony was telling a joke." I have no idea. All I know is that I been mostly seeing her in my dreams."

"I think he's a soul dreamer," Spike suddenly said.

I looked back to Spike when he said that. He looked back at me and gave me a look that said: "I know it sounds crazy but it's true." I shook my head. It couldn't be true. There was no way that it could be. I only ever heard of them in storybooks and legends. But never had I heard one that actually existed. However, there were many things in the last few weeks that shouldn't be real is so I didn't know what to think.

"What?" Was the only thing I could say.

"You know what that is? Cause Spike here won't tell me," Discord said.

"Yes, I do but I only read of them in stories," I said.

Discord shrugged as if that didn't matter to him. "Well, considering what has been happening, I wouldn't be surprised if it was otherwise."

"In theory, it was to believe that one could do the same what I could but instead of going to dreams they go to the real world," I said. I tried to explain it the best that I could where Discord could understand.

"But in their sleep?" Discord asked.

"Yes," I said.

"See. It makes sense," Spike added.

"I don't understand," I said.

Discord looked up and signed. "I been seeing Silver Blitzs and that house in my dreams but it's like I'm actually there."

"That's normal to feel like that when you are dreaming," I pointed out.

"I can't explain it but it's not like that," Discord said.

"I reassure you that you were most likely dreaming," I said.

"Luna, please just listen to me," Spike begged.

He started to telling me an experiment that he did on Discord in which he put Discord asleep and he saw his body when he was asleep. I listened carefully to them as Spike explain it all to me. He told me how Discord chooses to go back to the house in his sleep and that he watched Discord body lay still without any movement as if he was dead. Though it sounded odd to me, I still kept the idea that Discord was just dreaming.

"Are you sure of this?" I asked Spike when he was done talking.

"Yes I am," Spike answered.

"I suppose it would make sense in some cases but I don't know," I said.

"What do we actually know?" Discord asked.

Spike pulled out a paper and pen and started writing a list; kind of like Twilight would. It seemed to me that he had picked up some of her ways.

"Hmm, let's see. We know that Silver Blitzs wants our help and in some way connected to the same griffin that been tormenting Luna. We also know that Luna is psychic and can see the dead.

"And that Luna and I been seeing similar things the last few weeks," Discord added.

Spike nodded. "We do know as well that Berry Tarts is the one keeping Silver Blitzs trapped in the house…."

Discord and I looked at Spike, waiting for him to say more.

"Ummm that's it."

"Not a lot to go on," Discord said, very disappointed. "Shit."

I remembered something that Silver Blitzs told me and thought that Discord and Spike should know. So I spoke up. "She told me that something or rather I should say someone was in my head."

"What? Who?" Discord asked.

"I don't know. She wouldn't tell me. She said that he would find out if she did."

"He?" Spike asked very similar to the way I said it to Silver Blitzs.

"Yes. He."

Discord turned to Spike. "You don't think…?"

"Think about what?" I asked.

Before Spike and Discord could answer the lights started to flicker on and off. We all three looked up at the ceiling as we watched the bulb slowly got more dimmed till it was completely burned out.

"Old light bulb?" Spike chuckled weakly.

Then the whole library became so dark that we could barely see each other. Then there was a whistle similar to the one I heard back in my room. I felt Discord claw grab ahold of my hoof and held a tight grip. The ground started to shake as we felt heavy loud heavy footstep that vibrated throughout the floor with the sound of a dragging chain. We all know who it was. We stood very still hoping that he didn't see us. I started breathing really hard as fear grabbed ahold of me. My face was flushed red and my expression was just pure panic; my heart was pounding, sending blood to my muscles. Why was this happening to us? What did we do wrong? I knew both made mistakes; some more wrong than others. But did we deserve this? I looked up to see dark red eyes glowing. It was the only light that we could see. It was the same bull-like monster that been attacking mine in my nightmares. I could hear Spike whimpering as Discord grip on my hoof grew tighter. The stomps got louder as it got closer to me. My mind was screaming at me to run away but I was too scared to even move. Soon I saw a little golden light shining. It was coming from a bag that was in between Discord and Spike. Suddenly, I felt myself being pulled off of the chair that I was sitting on and was now running. I first thought it was the creature but I then realized it was Discord keeping his grip on me. He didn't want to lose track of me. We were both running down the alleys and passed the many shelves of books.

"Where are we going?!" I yelled.

"Anywhere but here," he yelled back to me. I saw that Discord had taken the bag, which was still glowing, and was now using it as a source of light to help us see where we were going. However, I didn't see Spike with us. Did we leave him behind?

"Discord, what about Spike?" I asked, still running.

"What about him? He'll be fine. It's not after him. It's after us!" He said.

Then one of the tall big bookshelves fell only inches in front of us. We screamed in surprise as we fell to the floor, trying to avoid getting hit. Discord helped me up and we quickly turned around and started running the other way. Heart pounding, my panicked breathing like thunder, thighs burning, lungs on fire, praying that it wouldn't catch up to us. Adrenaline almost bursting through my skin, eyes wide with fear. He was not too far behind us. I could hear his heavy steps pounding against the floor. We tried to outran but we didn't know our way around. We had no idea how to get out of there.

"We need to hide," I said.

"Where in the hell are we going to hide?" He yelled madly at me.

"Anywhere!"

He looked around, trying to find a place for us to hide. "Ummm. Over there follow me." As if I didn't know to do that already.

He led me to a door and opened it. We ran inside and closed the door. We still heard the creature. We tried to be as quiet as we could. It was hopeless. He was coming. He was near. He was going to find us. It was only a matter of time. I stayed close to Discord.

"Is he-" I started to speak.

"Shhh. Be quiet," Discord whispered.

It felt like we had been in that room for hours. We didn't know what to do. If we leave he will find and we might not make it out in time. However, we couldn't stay in the room forever. But what could we do? I knew that in the end, we couldn't outrun him and that gold bright light that helped us see, also gave us away. I also couldn't help but worry about Spike. I felt bad that we left him out there. He must have been so scared being out there all by himself. Hopefully, Discord was right and the creature wasn't after him.

"Hello." A friendly voice from behind said.

Discord and I jumped and screamed in surprise. We looked to see who was behind us. I groaned when I saw who it was. Dusty. Always had the worst timing. Well, at least it wasn't the creature that was after us.

"Who the hell are you?" Discord asked.

"Wait, you can see her?" That would be a first.

"Umm yes," he answered, confusedly.

"That's Dusty."

He looked at her as if he couldn't believe his eyes."That's her. That's Dusty."

"Why yes, it is," Dusty said with a smile on her face. "Oh and don't worry. He can only see me because of our little "friend" outside."

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

She shrugged carelessly."I came to help."

Discord scoffed loudly."You got a lot of explaining to do."

"It seems so," she said sternly.

"How do you know Silver Blitzs?!" Discord asked her.

She signed heavily. "I knew her when I was alive. She came to me looking for help. She wanted to cross over but I couldn't help her. Not then at least...But I can now so here I am."

Discord seems to doubt her. Not that I could blame him."How are you helping her?" he asked.

"All I had to do was get Luna here to believe again like she did when she was younger. All Silver Blitzs had to do was to get you to get her to go to that old house that you were going to."

"Get me to believe?" I asked.

"Yes. Believe in your powers, us, all of this. Look, I know that you hate me." She laughed a little when she said that. "I can't say I blame you. But just know you'll understand someday why I had to do what I did."

"You attacked me! Be tormented me for weeks!" I yelled loudly at her.

She laughed weakly at that. "Yeah I know I might have overdone it at the cemetery. Sorry about the wing by the way."

"Oh great. That just makes everything better," I snapped at her. "Let's not forget the voices, and the visions in the bathroom and Everfree Forest or the nightmares!"

"What?" she asked me as if she didn't know what I was talking about.

"Don't play dumb with me!" I demanded her.

She looked at me madly. "Okay first, stop being a bitch. Second, I have been admitting to all the shit I been doing to you. Why would I lie now?"

I didn't say anything to that.

"I did do the voices and your wing…" she paused. She seems to be afraid to say more but she did." And I might have helped out with the one in the bathroom." she said quickly as possible.

"You son of a bitch!" I yelled at her.

She didn't respond to that. "But I didn't give you any nightmares and I never been to the Everfree forest. I don't even know where it is." She looked at me oddly. "Wait, what do you see in your nightmare?"

"Why don't you ask our little "friend" out there?"

"Oh no. We're running out of time," she said to herself.

"What?" Discord and I asked at the same time.

She looked over to Discord. "You need to get her out of here. It's your job after all. So do it before he gets to her."

"What does he even want from me?" I asked.

"The one out there...nothing. He was just summoned to get you for someone else."

"Who?" Discord asked.

"You already know who," Dusty said. Discord eye's widened after she said that. "Now go, quickly."

"Wait!" Discord called put to her.

"What?" She asked impatiently.

"If Silver Blitzs wants Luna's help then why did she go to me?" Discord asked.

"Because he would have found out what we are doing," she answered.

"Who?" I asked.

I could tell that she didn't want to say anymore to us. She thought about what she was going to say before she finally spoke. "You may not understand now but it's because you helped Silver Blitzs all those years ago that made him mad. You caused his undoing without even knowing."

"Just remember this Luna. A prison will only last for so long but denial is a Hell that will last forever. Now go!"

Then she disappeared into thin air. Discord and I stood there frozen. We didn't know what to say or how to respond to what Dusty had told us. All I knew was that we needed to get out of there and fast.

Discord and I stood there in the room, unsure wherever we should feel okay or afraid. We knew that he was getting close to us. We didn't know what to do next; hiding here forever wasn't an option, though. We could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, and I didn't know how to respond to any of it. We were getting answers, but they only gave us more questions. I couldn't think about it though. Not at that moment at least. We had other problems to deal with.

"Now what?" I whispered to Discord.

Discord turned his head quickly, making me jump slightly. "I-I don't know. We need to get out of here."

We pause for a moment and look around the room, trying to find some kind of exit or escape route. I turn to look to my left, only to then feel Discord tugging at me. I look in the direction of where he was pointing.

"This way..." Discord said. I notice a stairwell on the other side of the room. I nod, letting him know that I understood, and we made our way down the long flight of stairs.

"Okay, we just go down the stairs and the exit shouldn't be too far." Discord said.

"Okay," I replied as quietly as I could. I trotted a few steps forward before I was stopped by Discord.

"Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"Something's coming."

"What?"

I didn't hear anything, so I didn't know what he was talking about. We stayed put for a few moments before Discord took a few steps forward. I followed slowly. Discord was trying to see if anything was there. Nothing seems to be there, but I wasn't for sure. That was when I felt a tap on my back-left side leg. I jumped and screamed in surprised which scared Discord as he turned around at me. I first thought that the creature had found us. I was just about to run but I bumped into Discord who was now freaked out too.

"Luna! What is it?" Discord asked me scarily.

I started breathing heavily as I looked around to see what touched me. The creature was nowhere in sight, so it couldn't have been him. But I knew something had touched me. We heard a loud "excuse me." We both looked down and saw Spike standing there giving us an angry look. We signed in relief.

"What the heck guys? That…that thing comes and you two leave me alone? Some friends you are!" He yelled madly. Although angry, Spike did look adorable. His cheeks had turned a lovely shade of crimson and all I could do was only smile back.

"Sorry, Spike," I replied, trying to pretend that I didn't notice his cute expression, "we didn't mean to leave you."

"Well, you did! I was so scared. I didn't know where you guys were or anything," he said.

"We said sorry, Spike, okay?" Discord snapped.

"No, it's not okay. What is going on?! What is that thing?!" Spike panicked.

"I wish I knew," I told him, shaking my head.

"Well, don't ever do that again to me!" Spike yelled.

"Okay, Spike. We won't," I said.

"Yeah. Spike. Why don't you be louder? I don't think our "friend" heard us," Discord snapped at Spike

Spike mumbled something angrily to himself, but I couldn't tell what he said. Probably was better if I didn't, I thought. "You got the phoenix still?"

Discord looked confused for a few seconds then realized what Spike meant. "Yeah. I still got it. It's in the bag."

"Okay, good."

"What's so important about that Phoenix anyway?" I asked.

"To be honest, We're not sure. All we know is that Silver Blitzs wanted me to have it," Discord answered me.

"She didn't tell you what's it for?" I asked but I didn't let them answer. I already knew what it was. "What else is new?... Let's just get out of here."

"Right," Spike said. "I saw whatever is after us back there where I came from. I don't think he saw me, so I think we should be good for now. But we need to be quick and get out of here."

Discord and I nodded. We quickly went to the stairway and started heading down the steps. We ran as fast as we could. There was no time to waste. As we got to the bottom of the stairway there was a loud roar. My ear perked up and my eyes widened. That didn't sound like it came from the same creature which only could mean one thing. Spike backed up and grabbed my leg tightly.

"Was that him?" Spike asked.

Discord groaned loudly. "I'm afraid not."

"What does that mean?" I asked, afraid to hear his answer.

Before Discord could answer, there was another roar. We saw as another creature started coming out of the shadows. It looked just like Discord. Only this beast had razor shape teeth and had tentacles squirming out of its back. I couldn't believe my eyes. How many more of the monster were we going to have to face? We all stood frozen. We were all scared to move.

"What the hell is that, Discord?!" I yelled.

"The creepier, bloodier, murderous, less handsome version of me." He sounded scared but even then, tried to joke at that. Bad timing Discord. Bad timing.

"Run!" Spike yelled as he started running up the stairs.

Discord and I quickly followed. I looked back behind and saw that it was coming after us. I tried so hard to get away. His loud groans of infatuation. He was right behind me. I couldn't explain but I felt like it was after me. Only me. I didn't know why but something was telling me that. It only made me more scared. The Discord look-a-like creature then jumped at me from behind. I felt his fingers go through my long mane as it wrapped its arms around my neck.

My head bobs backward as I lost my balance causing me and the creature to fall down the stairs. The scream squeaks through my scorched throat as we fell. I could hear Discord and Spike calling out my name, but I couldn't see them anymore. Where were they? I landed hard on the floor but managed to get up. I tried to run but it grabbed from behind and tackled me to the floor. I screamed loudly for Discord and Spike to come and help me but for some reason, they never came. Did they not know that I got left behind or were they too scared to come help? I struggled hard to get away, but I couldn't. I saw his bloodthirsty eyes staring down at me. My whole body frightens beyond anything. I let out one final scream before it grabbed me by the throat and just like the first nightmare that I had since this whole thing started, it choked me. I was gasping for air as his grip became tighter.

This was it. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't fight this anymore. I saw the stars watching from the heavens. His face looming over mine. The struggles started to slow down. My body became weaker. I began to feel numb.

Then there was complete blackness.

I woke up, gasping and breathing heavily. It took me a few seconds to realize that I was still alive. I couldn't believe it at first. I was so close to death by yet I wasn't. Where was I? Something about the atmosphere surrounding me didn't seem right, so cautiously opening one eye I quickly scanned the room. I wasn't in the same place as before. How did I get here? So many thoughts scrambled to the surface in a panic. Fear was setting in and there was nothing I could do to stop it, no comforting words or thoughts, nothing reassuring came to mind. It was dark, the scent in the air musty. A shudder ran through me when a cold breeze hit me, goosebumps covering my body. My throat was raw, and it hurt every time I swallowed, a foul taste coating the inside of my mouth. A pounding headache overpowered the rest of my senses. I didn't know where I was at. It didn't seem familiar to me.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

I then heard the sound of the door being opened. A moment later, the ceiling light was illuminated. I shielded my eyes from the sudden brightness. Once my eyes adjusted, I turned my head towards the screeching door. A dark pony figure entered slowly. I couldn't see him very well by I could that he was about Big Mac size.

"You woke up sooner than I thought you would," A voice said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"You don't remember me?" He asked as he moved closer to me.

I backed up."No, I don't. Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

"Well, actually I didn't bring you here. Some..."friend" of mine did. But to answer your question. It was to settle some unfinished business between us," there was a slyness in his voice.

"I don't understand," I said.

"Of course you wouldn't. How could you?" He replied coldly.

"What?"

He started circling around me as he spoke. A part of me wanted to run but another said it was a bad idea. I was scared of what he might do if I did run. He had some control or bond or something with those monsters so what else could he do? I didn't know what he could do to me. I stay still and listened to him as he spoke. I thought maybe I could talk my way out of this. I decided it was best to wait and see what happens.

"You really don't remember me. What a shame. However, you were only five at the time and we only spoke once or twice as well. You were so young...so beautiful," he said that last part with a slyness in his voice that scared me a little. I stayed quiet and didn't say a word. I didn't know where he was going with this.

"Many of the children in the village were afraid of me. But you for some reason weren't. I liked that about you." He made a creepy smile. "You were never too quick to judge outsiders like me. So after we first talked, I started watching you."

"What?!" I asked shocked.

He continued. "I find it strange that I was fond of someone so young. But one can't denied the truth of themselves. I had to admit mine."

"Your what?" I asked carefully.

"My truth. That I was in love with you. I was going to take you as mine."

"In love with me?" I said it like it was a joke. He couldn't have meant it. I was hoping that he didn't.

"I wanted you. Just like I wanted Silver Blitzs..."

"Silver Blitzs? You knew her?!"

He smirked and giggled. "Honey, I'm the one who killed her."

I felt my heart break and my stomach do flips. My breathing quickened. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be real. It couldn't have been him. There was no way. How was it possible? He would have been long gone by now.

"Berry Tarts?"

"Ahh. So you do remember me?"

"I never have forgotten you. How could anypony forget you after what you did to all those innocent children?!" I cursed at him.

"What I did? What I did was all for him. The great Master that shall soon return!" His voice grew darker.

I scoffed."You're sick. Beyond sick."

"And you're beyond reasoning. You don't even know the half of it. You're the reason why I ended up like this."

"What are you talking about? I barely even know you. How could I be responsible for your death."

"One day, a filly claimed to see one of my young brides. I knew it couldn't have been true. She had been dead for years. Luckily, everypony let it go, for a while at least. But one detective didn't. He believed her. From what I was told he came to her and she led him to the house. She told him that the filly she saw led her there. But that wasn't where she lived before she went missing. So when I wasn't there, the detective went into my house and saw all of my work."

I felt a sick feeling in my stomach as if I was about to throw up. It was unbearable to hear. A grown man in love with a child? It sickened me with even the thought and he was talking about ME. Which made it worse. I almost thought he was joking but the look in his eyes said it all. He spoke nothing more but truth through his lips. I knew who the filly was. I knew who he was talking about. The filly was me. I was the one who helped her. I was the was who opened my mouth about her.

"Word got out and instead of arresting me, the folks came to me slaughter me like cattle. I remember feeling all that pain. I stab over and over. No way to stop it and then...I was gone. I was so close to being done with my work. They didn't know that I was trying to help them. I was trying to help you. "

"How were you helping anypony?!" I yelled.

"As I said, you don't know the half of it. You wouldn't understand. But don't you get it. You told them about her. You led them straight to me. You caused this."

"I was only five. How can you blame me for this?"

"Cause you helped her. You helped Silver Blitz. I loved you, and you betrayed me. I thought you were different but you were just like everyone else. Selfish. Now it times for you to face what I had too all those years ago."

He then trotted right up to my face. I looked at him and saw nothing but evil in his eyes. I wanted to move but I couldn't. It was like fear was my new set of chains. All I did was take deep heavy breaths as he stared down at me. It was then I tried to back up. He then grabbed a hold of hair and pulled me closer to him. I struggled to get away but he pinned me to the floor. I was breathing heavily as I looked up at him. I was trying so hard not to cry.

He laughed. "Who made you afraid, my love? Afraid of the future and the past? For neither exist in any place but the imagination, even memory must be imagined. This fear is a kind of madness, but one that is useful if you know how it works. Fear will take you by the hand to the things you keep and guard as precious. As you can see it what kept you from the truth. You were so scared to open that little mouth of your and now you're here." He put a hoof on my cheek. His eyes then started to glow brightly and changed white.

"It's funny really. You spend all this time thinking that the very one that was trying to help you, was behind this. It's really funny to me. Well, Dusty always had a kind of problem of not minding her own business. But enough has been said."

There was a bright flash, then darkness came upon me once more.

Author's Notes:

I wanted to have this be the last chapter but with my mom's death, it's been hard to write about this stuff. So the next chapter will be the last. Don't worry. I haven't given up on this story yet.
