It had been a long night for rainbow dash her friends had convinced her to come with them for a night out. Rainbow dash didn’t want to but she thought it would do her some good she didn’t really have anything better to do. Her friend Pinkie Pie invited her to stay the night since they both new Rainbow had drunk a bit too much vodka and was in no condition to fly back to her house in Cloudsdale.
“Your room is this way” Pinkie said motioning for Rainbow to follow her.
“Thanks again for letting me stay with you tonight” Dash said quietly.
“I would do anything for one of my friends” Pinkie replied with a smile on her face. The tired blue mare hopped into the bed that Pinkie had prepared for her.
She closed her eyes and almost instantly fell asleep.
Rainbow was awakened by a loud scream that came from the front door. She got up and walked through the kitchen. She stopped suddenly as she saw a reddish liquid trailing from the kitchen and into a cupboard. The smell of the liquid was unmistakeable, it was blood. Rainbow dash had come to recognise that smell since she has had many injuries in her little flying practise sessions. Dash’s heart was now racing as she followed the trail. She opened the cupboard door and almost fainted at the sight. It was Pinkie but she was lying on the floor with bite marks all over her face and neck. She had a gaping hole in her stomach and her intestines were visible some of them were lying on the floor in front of her. Rainbow screamed and turned around only to see a blood covered pony with blood red eyes slowly walking towards her.
She didn’t recognize the pony but when Rainbow tried to run around it she saw a harp on the ponies flank. Dash’s heart sank it was Lyra, the pony that had found her when she had a near fatal flying accident. If it wasn’t for Lyra Rainbow probably wouldn’t be around right now. Tears welled up in Rainbow dash’s eyes as she pushed the bloodied pony away from her.
*what has happened to Lyra* Dash thought to herself. Rainbow then ran out of the door and took to the air.
*if anyone knows what the hay is going on its Twilight*. The frightened Pegasus flew as fast as she could towards the purple unicorn’s library home.
Rainbow dash burst through the door,
“TWILIGHT” she shouted, hoping that there would be an answer. Suddenly she saw something move in the shadows. Then she felt something grab her from behind.
Rainbow let out a high pitched scream. The lights to the library turned on and next to the switch was a laughing purple dragon.
“You should’ve seen your face Dashie” spike bellowed.
“Hey that wasn’t funny and don’t call me Dashie” The angry pony yelled.
“Gosh what's up with you”?
Rainbow Dash ignored spike and walked up the stairs to Twilights room.
She shook the sleeping pony until finally her eyes opened.
“What do you want Rainbow” Twilight said in a soft sleepy tone.
“Something terrible happened” Rainbow dash said with tears in her eyes.
Rainbow Dash spent the next ten minutes or so telling Twilight what had happened
“Rainbow follow me I know exactly what's going on” Twilight said.
Twilight motioned for her friend to follow, they walked to the other side of the room to a small door. Twilight opened it and grabbed two heavy wooden baseball bats and handed one to Rainbow.
“What’s going on Twi”? Rainbow Dash asked, with a scared tone in her voice.
“Zombies” Twilight replied.
The blue mare stared at her friend with a puzzled look,
“That can’t be true zombies are just made up” she said.
“It is possible to bring something or some one back from the dead using an ancient magic called necromancy” Twilight replied.
“Twi if what you’re saying is true then that means the pony behind this horrible nightmare is a unicorn”
Twilight nodded and walked into the main library.
She screamed when she saw her faithful dragon companion being eaten by a grey Pegasus she had come to recognise as Derpy Hooves.
