Chapter 10: Auction
As the ponies finally got themselves together, they started the search once again for Capper. " Capper? " Rarity repeating yelling out over and over again as the others did the same.
Queen Lily got nervous, What if Capper isn't here? What If he wa- her thoughts were interrupted by a certain orange cat with a snazzy coat appearing in the corner of her eye.
Rarity instantly walked over to the cat, " Capper! Oh how I have been dying to see you again, " she let out a swooning sigh as the others rolled their eyes.
Lily smiled, " Your Capper? It's nice to meet you, I am Lily, the Queen of Equestria. ". Capper looked at the white alicorn with a grin, " Why hello Miss Queen of Equestria, how about I escort you all to my lovely little home, " as soon as he spoke, another person stood behind them.
Everyone gasped to see Verko standing right there, " Here's Verko! " he repeated the same words as he did before. " These ponies are going to fetch a nice price at the auction today! ".
Applejack just stared at him, " Uh, what auction ? ". Verko answered gladly, " There is an auction tonight where we sell items, and you all will get me a lot of money, don't you think? ".
Everypony shrieked as he began inching towards them, " Load 'em up! " he put on an evil grin and got even closer to the ponies.
Capper stepped out in front of them, " Why Verko, why would you hurt these little ponies, what did they do to you? ". Verko grinned, " They did nothing! And I wont hurt them, just going to sell them to someone, that's all! ".
Lily screamed as she felt something tugging on her tail, " Let me go! " she screamed out, as she attempted to use her horn. Instantly remembering she fell in a river this morning and it disabled her horn, the spell failed.
All of the ponies suddenly felt themselves inside of a cage. The bars were too tight for them to get out as they attempted to squeeze through.
"That's too tight for even a foal to get through! " Applejack exclaimed. They all nodded. " Then what will we do? " Twilight asked, trying to come up with a plan.
Lily didn't know how to answer that question, she was way too nervous herself. Fluttershy looked over at her, " We will get out, don't worry, as long as we are together. ". Pinkie Pie nodded, " Yeah, we can make this fun, together! ".
