>Moonie looks around with a thoughtful look on her face.  
>“Even if there was enough magic for such a thing, why would we be the only ones left behind?” She says looking into a nearby window  
>That is a pretty good question.  
>Neither of you are particularly special, at least not in any obvious way.  
>only one of you has any magic.  
>“On top of making everypony but us disappear it would also have to bring in those creatures from… Celestia knows where…” Moonie continues.  
>Thinking about all this doesn’t make sense and only raises more questions.  
>You focus on the bell in the distance.  
>something else catches your ears.  
>Taku hears it as well, her ears fold back in fear.  
>“What is it Taku?” you whisper.  
>Moonie seems to notice it now.  
>“We gotta get out of here…” Taku whispers back.  
>She starts running, you and Moonie follow.  
>The sound becomes clearer as you run.  
>It sounds like… laughter?  
>Yes, definitely laughter now.  
>You can’t quite pinpoint where it’s coming from.  
>Taku suddenly dives into a nearby storefront.  
>You and Moonie get inside and hide behind a shelf.  
>Taku is cowering behind the front counter.  
>The laughter gets closer and closer.  
>It’s probably just outside the store.  
>Neither you or Moonie dare look in fear of being seen by it.  
>It’s laughter slowly shifts into a strange pulsing before going quiet.  
>You can hear it’s movements outside.  
>It stops  
>maybe you can get a look at it…  
>“WHERE ARE YOU?!” several voices thunder in such a volume as to rattle the windows and shake a few small items from the shelves.  
>“I SAW WHAT YOU DID!!!” they roar.  
>You can see Taku violently shaking, covering her mouth.  
>You can hear whatever is outside move.  
>It seems to be moving down the street, towards the bell.  
>You wait a while before peeking out.  
>“That sounded like what came to the library while you guys were sleeping.” Moonie whispers.  
>You carefully move to Taku.  
>she’s shaking so bad, she can barely stand.
