Shadows In Twilight

Chapter 13 Rescue and The Missing

Speedy had been on the train for 3 hours. She knew she would be close to Canterlot in only a few minutes.

The train SCREECHED to a stop. The conductor yelled out. "Canterlot everypony out!" His voice could be heard throughout the whole station.

Speedy quickly got out of the train cart. "Now I have to sneak into the castle" Speedy thought to herself. She quickly walked away from the station, trying to get to the castle as soon as possible.

She started running as fast as she could to get to her destination.

When she finally made it to the castle, the only thing she had to do was sneak in. She walked up to the castle and approached the guards at the entrance and said. "Excuse me I need to go see the royal chef , and he is my brother if you didn't know"

The guards were looking at her , inspecting her carefully. "You may pass" he said standing up straight back in his regular stance. "That was easy" she thought.

Speedy walked pass the guards and walked into the castle. "Now I need to find Princess Twilight" she continued walking down the bright long hallway.
.......................................................................................
She had been looking for an hour and she still hadn't found Twilight. She had looked through almost the whole castle. There were almost no more rooms to search. The only room left to search was the one down the hall.

She arrived at the door and took a deep breath. "Please let this be the right room". She opened the door slowly and walked in quietly. She looked around the room. She smiled when she looked  at the bed and found Twilight.

She was sitting on her bed and crying. It so need low and quiet, but Speedy knew Twilight's cries. She sounded sad and heartbroken. She had seen Twilight sad but never like this.

"Pssst miss I'm here" Speedy whispered  to Twi trying to get her attention.

Twilight looked up when she heard the voice. She looked over at her door and saw Speedy. She immediately smiled and jumped off her bed, and ran towards Speedy as fast as she could.

Speedy and Twilight hugged each other tightly for a few moments and then they let go.

"Speedy I'm so glad you came for me" Twilight yelled out in excitement.

"I'm glad I found you , because Sombra a complete mess without you" when she said that. Twilight's expression turned from one of excitement to one of curiosity and concern.

"What do you mean Sombra's been a mess without me, is he ok Speedy?" Twilight sounded very  concerned so she answers her questions.

"Sombra has been overworking himself , he has been getting more ... Uhh aggressive so to speak" Speedy said.

Twilight looked at her and said. "Let's go back to Sombra. Suddenly some black smoke came in from the window.

20 Minutes Ago... At Sombra's Castle

Sombra had been looking for Speedy, but he couldn't find her. He started to get aggravated. "Where could she be, it's not like she could of dropped everything and leave. Or could she" he said in a dark tone of voice.

He thought about the talk he and Speedy had in the throne room. About her saying he should go get Twilight back, and when he refused. What if she went to get Twilight back on her own.

"Now I have to go to Canterlot and get them both" he said to himself as he turned into his shadow form , and flew towards Canterlot.

Back in Canterlot... Present Time

The black shadow whipped its way into the room and stopped in the middle of Twilight's room. Both mare watched as the shadow was forming into a solid shape. The shape of the mighty king.
