//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: The Curse of the Princesses // by SuperSassyGassy //------------------------------// My stomach growls, and I think the fillies can hear it too, over the loud rain. "We're hungry too..." Murmurs Twilight as she tears up. I don't know why she's crying, I am the one with the major cuts and wounds. I limp towards the out-of-power fridge and I find an apple in there.. that's weird... it looks fresh... I reach for it and I nearly take a bite out of it. "STOP!" Luna yells. She knocks it out of my hand and it hits the ground. A strange liquid drips out of it. I go down to look. "Wait that's..... Poison!" I yell as I scramble back up to my hooves. I hear the storm slowing down, and soon comes to end. "We should get going, now that we took a break." I stutter, still shocked by the poison. We step outside the house, and we are in a forest. "This forest looks familiar" Twilight says, "But I have never seen this cabin in here." "Wait.. a forest.... there are only 3 forests in Equestria. If we are in the correct one..Twilight, do you remember where the Elements of Harmony were first kept when you came to Pony Ville?" "Yeah.. I think so" "There was a secret passage there that held a stone that reverses any curse/spell on a pony. We can use that to turn back to normal and defeat Discord!" "I remember reading about that one time, but that was when I lost interest and started reading about the Elements of Harmony." Twilight blushes. "Twilight Sparkle losing interest in a book? That is news to me." Cadence and Luna nod in agreement. We start following a trail that leads straight to a pond. "I was getting thirsty" I say as I run up to the pond and start drinking out of it. "The pond water is really refreshing, I felt like I haven't tasted this good of water for years! The last time I remember drinking water like this is when... Luna and I were playing tag.. In the Everfree forest, and we got thirsty so we found this pond. We knew the area really well, but we haven't seen that pond before. Luna and I were small fillies, like what we are right now, and we loved to play in the forest. So if I'm not mistaken.. this is the Everfree forest." Twilight sighs in relief that we're close to Ponyville. At least I made all of them feel a little better.
