A full month have passed since Chloe, Aylene and their friends enjoyed the two fun days with Shujaa, the meeting and befriending with the gorilla troop and with the elephant herd, but also the horrible incident with Sayla the female gorilla, who tried to kill Ocellus and one of the youngsters of her troop's elephant neighbors just because she hates both humans and animals and other creatures who are friends with them, and Sayla have already returned to the group after her punishment was over, but Angalifu warned her that if she tries to kill Chloe, Aylene, and or any of their friends, including elephants or other gorillas, she'll be banished from the troop, and this time - forever.
However, Sayla, of course - won't listen to reason, and the reason to this it's because she can't and will not let go of her strong hatred which slowly evolves into her evil, and so she planned in her mind about an attempt to kidnap Chloe in the middle of the night and dump her in a dark cave in hopes the human girl will either slowly starve to death or die from dehydration, or worse - die from exhaustion, but she also knew that if she wants to make her plan come out successful, she needs at least two other gorillas to help her out with her cruel and malicious plan.
One day, when Shujaa took Chloe, Aylene and their friends (now including Ocellus) to the Everfree Forest to meet Angalifu and his troop again so they can play with the gorillas some more and have lots of fun for today, but this is when Sayla decided to make the first step in her cruel and malicious plan - she saw two adult silverbacks (adult males) looking down at the ground with hungry faces like they haven't eaten for at least three or four days, and Sayla decided to approach the both of them so she can talk to them and once she got close enough to the two hungry silverbacks, she asked them "Hi, what's wring with you two? are you both hungry? do you wanna eat some food?", and that's when the silverbacks looked up and turned their heads to the adult female gorilla who approached and asked them, and then one of them asked her "What do you want from us, Sayla?", and then the second one added "Are you looking for some other troubles?", but Sayla answered "Well, no. I just wanna talk to you two, that's all.".
Then, Sayla asked them "You two are hungry? You haven't managed to find food to feed yourselves?", and one of the silverbacks answered "Yes, we're both starving! We can't find any food to go around! If we don't find food very soon, we're sure to die!", but that's when Sayla suddenly started to laugh at them, and this offended the two silverbacks, before the second one asked her with a rather grumpy expression which slowly turned his face angrier "What's so funny about that?!", and then he added "You're laughing from us and we're starving to death! There's nothing funny about that!", but then Sayla said as she stopped laughing "I'm sorry, you two! It's just why would you two just sit down and do nothing and just wait for that pathetic excuse for a leader known as Angalifu to just pass by and give you some food so you can live and go around!", and then the first silverback asked her "Excuse me? come again?", and then Sayla explained "I can give you two lots of food to eat, and that will be enough to feed your big tummies so you can go around!".
When the two silverbacks heard what the female gorilla just said, they both just gasped in shock and surprise at first, before the first silverback asked her "What? Are you sure you have enough food for us to feed our tummies?", and Sayla answered "Yes, I do have!", but then she quickly added "But, you two have to help me do something before I'll give you two the lots of food you deserve!", and then the second silverback asked her "What do you want us to do?", and then he added "We'll be willing to do whatever you'll ask us, just please tell us and we'll help you!", and Sayla said "Now you're good lads!", and then she explained to them about her malicious plan to kidnap Chloe and dump her to die in a dark cave, and at first, the two silverbacks refused to help her, but she managed to convince them to help her with her plan by promising them she'll give them lots of food after they kidnap the human girl, and that's when the two silverbacks decided to listen to Sayla and follow her orders for once.
Sayla and the two silverbacks started to follow and watch Chloe from a distance behind her back, and later when Shujaa took Chloe and the others with him back to the meadow to say goodbye to them as a sign to show that yet another fun day of their is over, and once Shujaa have gone back to the Everfree Forest, Chloe and Aylene part ways with the others once they all reached back to Ponyville, and then Chloe and Aylene went together back to Canterlot, but what they didn't know is that Sayla and the two silverbacks are following them from a distance behind their backs, and once Chloe and Aylene reached to the royal castle and entered inside to meet their mother, Celestia, and their aunt, Luna, Sayla and the silverbacks learned about where Chloe and Aylene were both living, and so they all waited for nighttime to come so they can start with Sayla's malicious plan.
Once nighttime came, Sayla and the two silverbacks managed to get into the royal castle by just sneaking inside without being spotted by either Princess Luna or a royal guard, and once the three gorillas were inside, Sayla took out a strong rope and a large sack and so she handed them iver to the silverbacks as they started to search for Chloe inside the royal castle, until they finally managed to find her sleeping with Aylene on their bed inside their bedroom, and that's when Sayla and the silverbacks slowly started to open the doors to the bedroom, and then they all slowly entered and got inside the bedroom with the rope and the sack in their hands so they can catch and kidnap Chloe without any difficulties.
Then, Chloe suddenly started to stir a bit, before she opened her eyes to see Sayla looking down at her with an evil smirk, and behind her back, she saw the two silverbacks as well, before Sayla said to the silverbacks with an low and evil tone "Get her.", and then she raised her voice a bit and added "Now!", and then the two silverbacks started to grab at Chloe and capture her and they managed to cover her mouth with their hands before they managed to put her in the sack, and then they tied up the sack with the rope so Chloe won't be able to escape, but then Aylene heard her human sister's muffled screams, and so she woke up and saw Sayla and the two silverbacks and she heard Chloe's muffled screams coming from inside the sack Sayla is now carrying on her back, but before the Pegasus filly can do anything to save Chloe, one of the silverbacks managed to knock her out and unconscious, thus preventing her from either saving Chloe or from screaming for help, before the three gorillas left the bedroom with Chloe being captive inside their sack, and then they quickly headed into one of the windows, broke through it and jumped through the broken window, and they luckily managed to land on solid ground below without any major or minor injuries, before the three gorillas went with the now captured Chloe towards the Everfree Forest, and after passing through Canterlot and Ponyville without being spotted by anypony or any creature, the three gorillas managed to pass through the meadow as well before finally arriving and entering the Everfree Forest.
Once they're deep in the Everfree Forest, Sayla said to the two silverbacks "Thank you two for helping me out with my plan!", and then the first silverback said to her "No problem, Sayla! And now, what do we both get in return?", and then the second silverback asked "Yeah, exactly! What's going to be our reward for all of out hard work?", and then Sayla put out two large sacks which she then gave to each of the two silverbacks before saying "Here's your reward you both truly deserve!", and when the two silverbacks opened the two sacks, they found that each of the sacks were full with lots of bananas, thus causing the two silverbacks to look in shock and surprise at their reward, and then they both turned back to Sayla with two happy smiles and then the first silverback said to her "Thank you, Sayla!", and then the second silverback added "Now you clearly proved us that we can trust you!", and then they took the two large sacks which are full with the lots of bananas with them, but before they turned to go, Sayla said to them "Now that you two helped me, you both managed to fulfill your part in my plan! From this point, I don't need you two anymore! I can take care of this stupid human girl by myself! Just leave her to me!", and then the two silverbacks said to her goodbye, before they both went to some place that is a bit far away from Angalifu's troop, where they eventually sat down and started to eat their new lots of bananas they received from Sayla, while Sayla herself is now left alone with Chloe being still trapped inside the sack on her back, and that's when Sayla started to run in the Everfree Forest to search for a dark cave that is perfect and good enough to dump Chloe in, and after searching for a dark cave for some time, Sayla finally managed to find a dark cave that is perfect and good enough to dump Chloe in, and so she ran into the cave and started to enter, go and travel deep inside the dark cave with Chloe inside the sack on her back until she reached a perfect spot in the middle of the dark cave where she can finally dump Chloe.
Then, Sayla opened the sack and dropped Chloe out of it, and the human girl just looked at the female gorillas with shock in her eyes, before she asked her "Why are you doing this to me? What have I done bad to you that I deserve this, Sayla?", but then Sayla smashed a fist at the dark cave's floor while looking at Chloe with an angry face, before she took a deep breath and then she said to her but still with a grumpy face "Well, You truly know how to show respect to me, human girl, but that doesn't change the fact that one of your kind killed my younger sister!", and then Chloe said to her "I already know that! Angalifu told me everything!", but then Sayla snapped at her and shouted "NO, YOU DON'T!", and then she took another deep breath before she looked once again at the human girl with a grumpy face, and then she said "I'm doing this to you because no humans shall be welcome in Equestria for as long as we all live!", and this is when Chloe cried "Please don't leave me here all alone! I'm a good human, I promise! I don't kill animals or other creatures unless they pose threats to me and to my friends!", but Sayla rejected her words and said to her back "You don't have any friends! Humans don't have any friends! And like I said twice before - humans are KILLERS!" she roared in anger at the human girl's face, before she added "Now, if you excuse me, I have to go back to my troop! If you find your way out of this dark cave all by yourself - then you shall live! But if you don't - you will face the evil Cockatrice and then you will face a terrible fate!", and then she finished and said "Sayonara, human girl!", and then she ran away and left Chloe alone in the middle of the dark cave all alone by herself.
Then, Chloe cried for help for a minute in great distress, but no one came to her help, and after awhile she had no choice, so she had to start to walk, and then she began to wander aimlessly in the dark cave in hopes that she'll eventually find a way out, but even after she wandered in the dark cave for a long time, she still didn't found a way out of the dark cave where she's apparently lost. Just then, however, Chloe saw something small that looked like a creature with the head and legs of a chicken, but it also had its other body parts such as the body itself, the wings and the tail of a dragon, though the tail also looked like the one of a snake rather than a dragon's, and so Chloe decided to run towards the small creature and she started to call for it "Hey, you! You over there! Please, help me! Please help me find my way out of this dark cave! I'm begging you! Help me!", but when the creature turned to her, she saw its red and scary-looking evil eyes, and what she didn't know is that the creature she's running into is actually the Cockatrice.
Then, the Cockatrice flew up until it reached and got right in front of Chloe's face, and then it lit its eyes and made them glowing red in front of the human girl, and this made Chloe scared and even a bit nervous so she decided to turn to run away, but she found out that she's suddely unable to move her legs, and when she switched her attention from the Cockatrice to her legs, she saw that her legs are slowly turning into stone, much to her shock and horror to realize that she's slowly turning into stone, before she desperately tried to get her legs to move, but to no avail, and the Cockatrice continued the process of turning Chloe into stone.
Then, the petrifying process slowly managed to reach up to her waists, and from this point, Chloe was unable to escape her fate, and then the petrifying process slowly gone upwards until it managed to turn the entire lower half of her body into stone, and once the petrifying process managed to reach up to her chest, Chloe turned back to look at the evil Cockatrice in the eyes, and she saw it was still using its gorgon ability to continue to petrify her, and once Chloe is petrified up to her shoulders, this is where her arms and hands also started to slowly turn into stone, but at this point, however, Chloe suddenly didn't seemed to mind that because she started to think about everything bad Sayla said to her before she dumped her in the dark cave, and then she started to believe that Sayla might be right about her and about all humankind being actually cruel and heartless killers like evil itself, and once she's petrified up to her neck, Chloe softly said "Goodbye, cruel world..." and then a single tear formed and rolled down her eye and hit the dark cave's floor below, and then her head and face finally started to turn into stone, and once the petrifying process was completely all over, Chloe is now a stone statue, much to the evil Cockatrice's pleasure, before it laughed like an evil chicken and then it landed on the dark cave's floor and started to run away, leaving the now completely petrified Chloe to remain a stone statue for all eternity.
