Nightmare

The everfree forest, known for having weird phenomenons, like the clouds moving their own, plant and animals taking care of themselves, and the weird creatures that reside in there.

Most avoid the forest, some shudder by just the mere mention of the name, though time and time again, the Everfree can also be a friendly place and inhabitable like Fluttershy, who lives at the edge of It, and Zecora who lives inside the forest.

Others, are like animals such as wolves, chickens, bears and so on so forth, while the more hostile one like Manticores, Hydras,Dragons and Cockatrice.

Though unknown to Zecora or even the animals, something more dangerous lurks in woods, the ones that know of their existence usually wound up dead, mutilated or just turn crazy, the ones that don't are too frightened to tell the tales.....

Of THEM.

It was now time, Celestia had lowered the sun, and Luna's moon was high in the sky, a strange chilling breeze blew through the Everfree, now most of It's inhabits were already asleep, everyone was in their homes, getting some well-deserved rest.

Except for three that didn't need It.

Three figures were walking in the forest, two ponies and dog.

However unlike most ponies, these two were terrifying and same goes for the dog.

The first one was incredibly tall, easily taller than Celestia herself, this ponies he had white pale skin, no coat, wore a black suit with a red tie, multiple tentacles were protruding from his back, his cutie mark was just a circle with an 'X' over It, though the most noticeable feature was that he didn't have a face, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, not even ears or a mane, just a white faceless head.

The second, was even more terrifying than the first, he was stallion at, and as tall as one albeit a few hooves higher, he wore a plain white, blood-stained hoodie, with a knife that rested in It's pocket, blood was smeared all over his white coat, on his flank was his cutie mark, which was a knife over a pair of eyes and a demented smile, his face could make anypony scream, like his coat, his face was incredibly white, though what stood out the most was his eyes that had black rims around him, and his mouth which had a terrible smile carved into It.

The dog, however, seems normal from the back, It had black fur and bushy tail, but it's face told otherwise, like the second It  had a horrible smile showing his canine fangs, red eyes that seem to stare right into your soul, that the mere sight of it could make anyone, insane.

The three walked through the woods in silence, though light chuckling could be heard from the stallion in the hoodie, who kept muttering about cupcakes.

After a while they found a huge mansion, that looked like It had been abandoned for years, the gates were rusty the was overgrowth all over the walls, as soon as they reached the gate a black shadow appeared before them, staring at them with red eyes, It took a step back and phased through the gate, which the opened inwards, allowing the three to enter.

As they entered, the overgrowth started shifting, and few thorns come out of their vines, thinking some ponies were lost, though as soon as they saw the three, the thorn went back inside the vine, knowing that If t knowing the three t would be only be a waste.

The entered the mansion, a bald hunch pony with abnormally long claws that was dripping in blood, stood in front of them, he was so hunched over you could practically see his spine under his skin, he man nodded and went towards, what seemed to be a dining room, with the three following closely behind.

When they reached the Dining room, they went to the nearest available chairs, and sat on them, while the dog resting on the tall ones lap, multiple ponies were, some were grotesque, while some were normal and some weren't even ponies at all sat in silence, even the stallion with smile carved in his face was silent, the only noise that could be heard was a soft song being played backwards

On the far end of the table sat another one, this one resembled a famous video game character Link, though the only difference was his eyes were missing and head blood tears marks underneath, and instead of a master sword as a cutie mark, it was just one word, which consisted of three letters 'BEN'.

"Well, Ben what was so important, that you called every single one of us, here?" the stallion in white hoodie asked, ending the silence, his voice course and annoyed.

Ben looked at all of them then smiled "Yes forgive, I just had to make sure everypony is hear" he as he scanned the Dining room " Now for the matter at hand, do you know, how the ponies treat us?" his voice was as slow as a whisper and yet, every single being in the room heard It as cold haunting voice.

"They treat us like legends, that we're not real" An eyeless pony wearing a black hoodie answered.

"They treat us like they can beat us" a dark-purple ghost continued.

"Saying that, we are only figments of our imagination" A dark pink pony with a deflated mane and psychotic blue eyes stated.

"They treat us like we're something, that can be banished with the Elements of Harmony" a floating orange fox with a red diamond on its head connected to a string said

Ben chuckled which sent shivers in some of the less scary ponies in there "That's correct, though how about we show them, just how wrong they are"

the sentence made by their leader caused some to smile, while some kept their blank faces other were laughing maniacally, finally the world will know true fear, true horror and above all else

NIGHTMARES.
