>Your eyes wander the old cellar. >Dusty crates and boxes are haphazardly stacked everywhere. >Crumpled, old furniture along with various other ancient bits and bobs also litter the room. >The only way in or out is a heavy wooden door, bolted shut from the inside. >The air is damp and reeks of decay. >The sound of water dripping from the back of the room echoes in your head. >You're fairly sure you hear a rat scampering around somewhere. >You try again to struggle against your bindings, but to no avail. >"Don't worry dweeb, I't wont be long now." "You're right, Rainbow Dash will be here any minute now." >At the mention of her old friend, Gilda appears slighly caught off-guard. >"Rainbow Dash?" she raises an eyebrow questionly at you. >"What do you mean?" "She will find me, and when she does you will be sorry." >She snorts a laugh, a confident grin overtaking her features >"Yeeeah, I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you." "I know she'll come for me." "She would never stop searching for me, no matter what." >Gilda chuckles lightly, >"Oh, you are just too much..." >"You know, after all the stories I heard about humans and about your old world," >"I would never have imagined a human being as stupid as you." "Laugh all you want, Gilda, but I have faith in Rainbow Dash." "She -will- come for me." >"Hah, I doubt you know Rainbow Dash as well as you think you do." "I know that she loves me more than anything in the world." "That's enough for me." >With a wicked sneer she trots over to you. >She leans in to meet you eye to eye. >"You know what, dweeb?" >"I almost feel sorry for you." >For an instant, you swear you could see a glimpse of remorse in her eyes. >"Almost." >She walks over to her seat by the door again. >"My contact with the Dog Father should be arriving soon." >"Then your stay in Equestira will come to an offical end." >"Well, that's a bit presumptuous I suppose, I mean, they do only want you for that precious human blood of yours." >"So I could imagine they'd want to keep their stock fresh for as long as possible." >She smiles wickedly at you. >She's obviously just prodding you for a reaction, but you won't give her the satisfaction. >"Then again, either way, you're as good as dead." >Damnit. Where are you, Dashie? >Ah, don't get yourself worked up Anon. >You know Dash. She will be here. >She knows that it was Gilda who kidnapped you. >By now she should be hot on her trail. >Yep, she'll probably come barging through the door any moment now. >A series of rapid knocks on the door interrupt the silence. >You hear a muffled voice from the other side, but you're too far away to make out what's said. >Gilda looks over at you, a huge, shit-eating grin plastered on her face. >"Well dweeb, guess who's here to meet you?" >She starts undoing the bolt on the door. >"Aaaand behind door number one, we haaaaaaave..." >The door slowly creaks open >"Rainbow Dash!" >You are stunned. >Behind the door stands your beloved Dashie. >Your eyes meet for a split second, before she averts her gaze from you. >She looks... ashamed? >What's going on here?   >RD: "Not funny, Gilda." >Gilda looks like she's barely able to contain herself. >Gilda: "It's actually pretty funny, Dash." >Rainbow sighs with frustration. >RD: "This is no time to be horsing around." >RD: "I just came to let you know the the coast is clear." >RD: "Nop0ny saw you run off with Anon, nop0ny will be looking for him." "Dashie...?" >The two of them turn to you. "What is this?" >Gilda bursts out into a fit of laughter. >Gilda :"Oh Dash, you should have heard him earlier; " >Gilda :"My Dashie will save me! I have faith in her! She loves me!" she says with a mocking tone of voice >Gilda :"What a total dweeb." >You feel panic start to rise, you're can't seem to understand what's going on. >Pleadingly, your eyes search for those of your lover. >Her bright, violet eyes finally lock onto yours. >She signs slowly, her face looking frightfully stoic. >RD: "It's nothing personal, Anon." >RD: "It never was." >RD: "It's only business." >Finally your mind puts all the pieces together. >The Element of Loyalty betrayed you. >Your whole body, even your brain, feels numb. "B-but... You..." you feel like you have to speak up, but your mind is in a jumble and you manage nothing save stutter >Your whole world has been turned up-side down. >Nothing seems to make sense anymore. >You feel utterly lost. >The air rings with griffon laughter once more. >Gilda: "See the look on his face? Priceless!" >Rainbow Dash seems indifferent to her friend's amusement. >She turns to the griffon who's practially rolling on the floor. >RD: "I've better get back to P0nyville now." >RD: "I'll meet you at the you-know-where at midnight, okay?" >Gilda wipes away a tear born from laughter. >Gilda: "Alright Dash, I'll smell you later." >Dash leans closer to Gilda and gives her a kiss, before turning to the door. >Witnessing this, you feel a surge of painful rage well up inside. >As Dash opens the door to leave, you manage to break through your mind's daze. "You said you loved me." you blurt out >She stops in her tracks and turns around. >She looks you dead in the eye for what feels like a life-time, but in truth wasn't longer than a few seconds. >Those beautiful eyes, the eyes that you fell in love with. >You recall the love you've seen those eyes reflect, was that even real? >Either way, you lose yourself in her eyes one last time, despite the circumstances. >Abruptly, she turns around and walks out of your life.   >Panic. "Dash!" "Dash don't leave me here!" >Frantically you call for her. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!" you shout with all your might >Gilda: "Geez, you still don't get it? She's not comming back." >Gilda: "She played you for a fool, dweeb." >This can't be happening. >It just can't. >You feel your voice falter to little more than whispers. "Please Dashie... Please come back." "Please..." "I don't want to be alone..."   The End
