"Sorry, can't stop!" she called to he purple cat as she ran past him, "I've got a little problem!"

"Sorry, can't stop!" she called to he purple cat as she ran past him, "I've got a little problem!"

Dash stopped, her mouth agape in awe. "How did you..?" she gasped, watching the dogs turn away from the fire and run back, their tails between their legs.
11
"Oh, right! I was, um, with a friend, a Night Screecher called Gail, and she told me to wait by a gravestone and if she wasn't back in ten minutes then I should go and get help..!" she explained, "But when I tried to go those dogs saw me and you know the rest."
12
"You gave up your foalhood dream for your friends," she whistled at the end, amazed at the mare's loyalty, "They must be real good friends..."
Vesper continued to eat apples at the orchard until she was satisfied.
Lux widened his eyes as he leapt over to the unconsious Rivershine. "Please wake up, please wake up, please wake up..!" he whispered, willing the mare to open her eyes. He narrowed his eyes looking around for the stallion, but saw no sign of him.
Crash nodded in understanding. "I always looked up to the Wonderbolts... Seems like another lost cause to me," she shrugged, "I gotta get going anywho, bye!" she called, speeding off suddenly.
Dash ran off to find Gail and hopefully leave the graveyard, praying she didn't run into those creepy dogs again.
13
Meanwhile Gail was sat watching one of the demonic canines as it sniffed through some bushes nearby.
14
Dash began walking backwards and backed into something. She froze, turning on the spot to see what was there. Seeing a dark pinkish-red Nightferra, she gave a sigh of relief. "Ga-" she cried before the other kit covered her mouth. "Shhhhh! I'm studying this odd lookin' pup, so shush it!" she hissed in Dash's ear.
Both kits hid behind a tombstone watching the dog as it snuffled in the shrubbery. Gail flicked her tail and Dash peeped over the top of the stone for a better view.
16
At that moment Dash sneezed and the mutt stared at her before Gail pulled her down. "Mouse brain! Now it knows we're here!" she hissed as the dog dtew closer. Dash gulped and looked up to see the innocent face of the pup staring, its tongue lolling out of its mouth. Both kits screemed and ran, the weird pup following.
Gail quickly scaled an old knarled tree while Dash ran around the gravestones trying to loose the dog. Gail aimed a swipe at Dash and grabbed her, pulling her up into the tree while the pup continued to run around the stones.
18
Both kits sighed, waiting for the canine to get dizzy or bored of chasing nothing.
19
The strange pup began to slow down, staggering around the graves until it finally collapsed, dizzy. The duo descended from the tree and skittered off to find an exit.
20
Running away from the dog, Dash and Gail grinned to themselves. Whatever that thing was, they had found its weakness! Slowing gradually, they slunk into a bush and continued to giggle quietly about their recent victory
21
"We need to find the exit." Dash whispered to Gail at last, breakng the jolly atmosphere. "I agree," Gail nodded, "Let's." they crept out of their den and stalked the gravestones, searching for the tall metal gates.
22
A howl in the distance made them pause before they quickly moved on, picking up the pace.
23
They finally reached the gates and sighed. "Time to-" Gail was cut off a by a loud cry of "HEEEEELP!!!" The duo looked at each other and nodded, turning and running back into the maze of graves and packs of spooky canines.
24
Dash and Gail reached where a small Nyari was cowering against a tombstone, surrounded by a group of the strange mutts. "Back off!" Gail ordered. Dash gulped and looked at thek nervously, their empty eyes boring into her soul.
