The night sky was black and starless. The full moon shone brightly done on the forest below. Very few night creatures were out that night. They knew something was happening and they didn't know what to do.
A figure suddenly flew above the trees. Flapping wings covered in green weathers the figure hovered in one place for a moment. It was a Pegasus Pony. She hovered above the trees looking around with a worried expression on her face.
"Virgo! Do you see anything?" someone yelled from below her.
"No! I'm coming down." The pony, Virgo, flapped her wings and flew back below the trees.
She slowly flapped, allowing herself to land. She landed in front of a small group of ponies. She looked over at the one who had yelled up at her. She was looking at a pony with a yellow coat, deep red hair and a horn on her forehead, a Unicorn.
"Did you see anyone following us?" the Unicorn asked.
"No, nothing Scorpio." Virgo shook her head, her brown and green mane flapped with her movement.
Scorpio looked at Virgo for a moment than turned her head. She looked a pony on her right. The pony was another Pegasus. Her coat was a turquoise blue and her hair was dark blue.
"What?" the pony asked, blinking. Her eyes twinkled in the moonlight that made it through the tree branches. Her eyes were different from the other ponies around her. They were sparkly like a jewel, known as Twinkle Eyes.
"Could you go up with Virgo and keep a look out for a bit?" Scorpio asked the twinkle eye pony.
"Are you sure that's wise?" a deep voice asked from off the side of them.
Scorpio, Virgo and the other Pegasus looked over at where the voice had come from. In the shadows, out of the light of the moon stood another pony. The pony in the shadows stood out even in the shadows, the pony's coat was a cream color. The pony's mane was a deep sky blue with a streak of spring green in it while the tail was spring green with a streak of deep sky blue in it. The mane and tail were enough to make the pony different from the others, but the pony's feet made them different from the others. They were hairy. The pony in the shadows was a boy.
"Taurus, we don't want to be followed." Scorpio said.
"But sending up Aquarius with Virgo is a bit much don't you think? If someone is following us out there they'll notice two ponies." Taurus said stepping out of the shadows and into the moonlight. He stepped up to Virgo. "On second thought you shouldn't send anyone up. A Pegasus up flying at night would look odd and out of place."
Before Virgo could open her mouth someone else spoke up, "Please don't start you two."
A sea green coated pony with dark blue and light green hair was lying on the forest floor. She had no wings or unicorn horn, she was an earth pony. She had her front legs sticking out in front of her. Her back legs were curled up under herself.
"Please don't fight. Not now. I just got Gemini clamed down." The pony looked down at her legs. Lying across her front legs was a small pony. The little pony had long, slender legs and delicate looking wings on her back. Her wings were see through and shaped almost like butterfly wings. Her coat was a pale black that was almost a gray color while her hair was white and yellow. She was a Flutter Pony.
"Pisces, I'm sorry." Taurus said softly looking down at the little pony lying across her legs.
"It's okay." Pisces said giving him a small smile. She than looked at Scorpio, "I think we're traveled far enough for tonight. We're all tried and the twins look like they are about to fall over from being so tried."
Everyone looked over toward two ponies. They were younger than Virgo, Pisces, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio but not as young as Gemini. One was red in the coat with purple hair; the other was purple in the coat with red hair. The one with purple coat was a Pegasus named Ari. The one with red the coat was an earth pony named Es. Together their names made one word, Aries.
"Ari, Es go ahead and lay down. Try to get some sleep." Scorpio said sighing. She knew that she was out voted for traveling farther that night.
She looked around at her friends. Ari and Es had lain down were they had been standing. Ari had her head between her front feet, her eyes closed already asleep. Her sister, twin, Es had her head lying across her sisters back. She too was also asleep. Scorpio turned and looked at Pisces. Gemini was still lying across her front feet while Pisces had her head laving off to one side. Taurus was lying close to Pisces, curled up in a ball. Virgo was walking over toward the twins and lay down next to them. She too curled up into a ball.
"Scorpio you can lay over here with me if you want." Aquarius called softly. Scorpio looked over at her friend, her sister. Aquarius was leaning against a tree, using it as a back rest.
"Fine." Scorpio said walking over to her and lay down near her.
"Just be glad its not anywhere near a solstice." Aquarius said as she yawned.
"I guess so." Scorpio said as she watched Aquarius fall asleep.
Scorpio didn't fall asleep till a little bit later. What Aquarius said made her think. When the solstice happen her side mark would glow. Everyone in their small group had a side mark that would glow on the day. During the day wasn't so bad but at night its could be a bit of a problem. Scorpio looked at her hip mark. She had a scorpion for a mark. Yawning she looked at the others. Aquarius could barely be seen with her long feathers covering it, hers was a vase that was tipped over spilling some water. Ari and Es had the sign that made up their name, but it wasn't the same sign. Ari had a ram head for her marking while Es had what looked like a small fountain that was spilling over on both sides. Taurus had a bull's head for his marking. Gemini, who had rolled over so her feet were in the air, had what looked like two people linking arms together. Pisces had two fish, one swimming up while the other was swimming down for hers. Virgo's was what looked like a pile of wheat that had been gathered together.
Scorpio looked around one last time at all the sleeping ponies before laying her own head down. As she fell into a dreamless sleep, she had to wonder, would they ever be free from the one following them?
This is a new story that I've wanted to write after reading this really good My Little Pony story. So here is my story. All the Zodiac Ponies are ones that I've drawen up, the only one who doesn't have a picture yet is Gemini but she will have one soon. You can see the pictures up at http://sailor-kitty19.
