Once the light floods the room, we can see the black clouds we're standing on, which aren't clouds at all. Rotating red spheres of light make a strong wind sound, and appear to be pulling us towards them.

"What's going on?" Blue asks fretfully.

"I don't know!" My hooves are digging into the solid shadows, trying to brace myself from being sucked into the crimson vortex. Screams are barely heard above the intensifying wind and force.

Suddenly the crimson light envelops me and my vision dances with bright red blood.

Lauryn's POV

Where are they?

"They should have been back by now; it couldn't have taken that long." Raven says, his brows furrowing.

"What if they're dead?" Keara asks.

"Don't talk that way!" Reed snaps. "They're not dead."

"Don't you remember last time?!"" Keara yells angrily. "Rainbow Dash killed Skelly, and we barely got her back."

"But we did get her back. Besides, you and I could have died. We all could have. They were programmed to kill us, but Twi and Qber didn't let that happen, did they?" Skillets growls back at her, his eyes sparking with flecks of gold.

I follow them with my violet eyes, frightened. Finally, I have enough. "WOULD YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP?! I'm sick of all of your arguing! If you want to see if they're dead, then go in and see for yourself!" I flap my wings, flustered, and dive towards the intimidating cloud.

"Wait! Lauryn!" I hear Skillets call behind me.

I turn to him, my eyes hardening. "What?"

"It's not safe!"

"I don't care, Skillets. I'm going in."

"Wait, Lau- HOLY FUCK LOOK!" He gestures behind me and I see the four missing alicorns. Qber, Blue, Skelly, and Ashey all look fine, but they have a different demeanor...

"OHMIGOSH YOU GUYS ARE ALRIGHT!" I fly over to Skelly.

"Of course we are." She spits harshly. I look over and also see Blue pushing Reed away with a hard look in her eyes.

Wait...

I look closely at the four, and notice that their eyes are a deep crimson, almost like a blood color.

I swear if Celestia did something again, I'm gonna slap a bitch.

"Just leave me alone!" I hear Blue yell at Reed. All of us stare at those four witch surprise, then glare at Raven. His eyes are wide and he opens his mouth to speak, but just shakes his head.

"This is all your fault." Keara seethes at him.

"How would I know that would happen?!" He tries to defend himself.

"You're the one who came up with this stupid plan! Now my sister hates me more than ever!" Reed complains.

Suddenly a cyan pegasus arrives in the middle of us, and gives us worried looks. "Ponyville. Now." She says in a hurried tone, then flies off again.

Before I know it, everyone else has too.
