Out of Sight, Not out of Mind

Chapter 4 : Page hunt

Hello, everyone! Long time no see :D I finally found some time to write the hardest chapter of this fanfic and I'm quite proud of it! ♥ I'm not sure how I'm going to finish the rest of it, though, since I'm in the Senior Year and I have to study hard for my exams :(

But we'll see about that...

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this fresh chapter! ;)

*With Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash*

"Wait for me!" Twilight yelled from behind while trying to catch up with her other two friends.

"Seriously? What did you have to do back there? Tie your shoelaces?" Rainbow Dash asked with a hint of irony.

The nerdy one rolled her eyes in despair. "Yeah, sure thing, the laces from my slip-ons!" then continued with a clipped tone "I had to explain a thing or two to the others. Your point?"

"We don't have time to be encyclopedias, egghead! Pinkie Pie won't take anything seriously anyway!"

Twilight scowled at the last remark. She wanted to reply, but Applejack intervened, trying to avoid any conflict: "Alrightie, that's enough. I think we should go before my eardrums explode, though."

"Agreed," Twilight confirmed, then started walking, still glaring at her athletic friend on their way.

A few minutes passed in utter paranoia, due to the loud and upsetting booming sounds that kept resonating. All of them only looked in all directions continuously, still hoping that the noise was just in their heads. But it wasn't...

After all those concerns, they finally reached another landmark, which seemed to be a weirdly-structured building made of bricks. The entrance was already "guarded" by the deep darkness, so it wasn't very welcoming for the girls since the very beginning.

Rainbow Dash trembled like a leaf and took a few steps behind. "Nope, nope, nooooo waaaay, I'm outta here!"

Before she even started running, Applejack grabbed her in a single move by the hoodie that was tied around her waist.

"You ain't goin' anywhere! Weren't you the bravest as ya claimed?" The country girl scolded her with an unimpressed expression.

"...But it's daaaark! And creepy! And what if Slenderman's already there?" Rainbow replied in sheer panic.

"Ugh, you sound like a child that's scared of monsters under the bed! Stop wasting time and man up!" Twilight sassily commented on her friend's attitude.

But when Twilight turned around, she gulped and formed a worried expression on her face. But she had no time to lose, so she was the first one who entered the building, with Rainbow Dash and Applejack behind her.

The place didn't have any furniture or other objects around, just...wall and floor tiles. And a weird chair in a corner, of course. The corridors were also very long, so it almost felt like a labyrinth inside.

"I've never seen anything like this. Humans are weird architects, it seems..." Twilight implied, breaking the silence that lasted for a few minutes.

"Oooor...it might be a TRAP! So we can get lost and then wait for the worst things to happen!" Rainbow yelled, almost having a panic attack.
