Written By Cartoonfan20 and Phatom Writer.

The mist covered the forest floor as the leaves blew in the wind as shadow's danced in the light of full moon. Quiet, That's all anypony could hear for miles.

Spike stayed close to Rarity as they walked down the foggy path.

Rarity held her lantern with her magic as they moved along the path way.

"Are you sure we should be going down this way?" Spike asked staying close to his crush.

"No, I'm not sure," She said as she tried to keep the fear of being left in a dark forest with no knowledge of where her friend's were and now, She had to worry about Spike, She was glad they were together. She looked down at Spike and gave him a small smile "But it's has to lead some where."

Spike looked up at the night sky and notice there were not star's in the sky. He knew everything thing about the night sky and how the star's were a lined "Something's wrong, Star's just don't disappear."

"Is something on you're mind Spikey?" Rarity asked noticing Spike mind some where else then with her.

Spike snapped out of his thought as he looked at the beautiful mare "I-I was just wondering why the stars aren't out.... The moon is out but not the stars."

Rarity looked up at the night sky and noticed what he was talking about "You are right, Luna must be taking her time with the stars."

"Actually, Luna doesn't control the stars, She only controls the moon." Spike said remembering all those book's Twilight read on the stars "It's something Twilight learned about."

"Fre͙̠̜s̢̜̬̪̞h̼̪ ̹̼m̢̭̳̬e̻̱̞̼͟a͍t͔͙̟͔͕͍ͅ.͚̕"

"Did you say something Spike?" Rarity asked.

"I-I was hoping you did." Spike said.

The two turned their heads to see a strange creature wearing a white mask with blood leaking down it "R̺̼̦u̺̰͈̞̙͉͢n͏̜.."

The two took off running screaming as the thing chased after them.

Rarity notice Spike was slowing down and knew she couldn't allow this thing to hurt her Spikey wikey. She used her magic to pick Spike up and place him on her back as she ran down the path way.

Spike noticed light's off in the distance "Over there! Light's!" Spike said pointing out the light's.

Rarity changed her direction as she ran towards the light's.

As she ran toward's light's she notice the creature stopped chasing them and stood there watching the two as the stood by the light's "W-Why did it stop?" Spike asked.

"I don't know and I don't care." She said walking still "Let's see if we can find somepony to help us."

She looked at the strange metal container's "Vlad Tech? What's that?" Spike thought as he looked at the marking's on the metal container's.

"Y̧͙̣̪̬͚o̴̪u̟̠͚̺̺ ̻̹͝think y̶͈͖̳ou͖ c̯a̡͙̹n̝̤͙̣ h҉̝͔̱̪̣̤i̧̞̮̪ͅd̷̟̲̞̱͓̬e ̪̝̣̦h̹e͓͔̭̖̱̰̝͢r̻e̦̲̯̬?" Rarity's eyes went wide as the creature from before stood in front of them.

Rarity was frozen in fear, Her mind racing as she tried to figure out what to do.

It jumped and Rarity and she closed her eyes knowing she was a goner.

"You will not lay one finger on MY RARITY!" She heard a very strong male's voice.

There standing in front of her was her tall and strong Spikey Wikey holding the creature in his claws as his eyes were filled with rage.

"S̻̠̣̤̫̲̗͡ḩ͉̤͕͙e̢͕̯͖'̬̘̥͙̪̱l̛̦̯l͈͖̩͖̖̗̺̕ ̳̘͎͇̞̘d̴̩i̴̲͇̣̩̙e͕̬͈̮͡ ̢ḻ̦̖͓i̴͎͉͕̜̲͈͚k̬̞̪͓̘̲͇͘e̡̯̲͔̖̖ the r͚̖̭̜e̫̺ͅs̭̦̠̻͙̗̩͜t̤̱̠̟͓̖ͅ ̙̯̞͖o̰̙͍̙̘ͅf̧͓̬̺͈̥ ̳̣͓̯̺̤t͘h̝͇͙e̡̮͎m.̜̘̰̖̪̙ͅ" It said laughing "Ş̰̺h̸̤̺̗ẹ̝'͖̰̱͔̺̘̠̀ll҉̯̙̦̮ ̹̘̯̘̬͔̥d͎i̥̝͎̞̫e.̛͉ ͏̠͖̯͉A̘̣nḓ̮̫̯̝ ́y̸̹͇͍̗̠̙̬ou̖͉̙̯̣͓͜ͅ ̨̭̱͙͇c͘a̻̙̮̰̰n̞͉̗̩̯̗̙'͖͕͚̣̞͚ṭ̵̥̫ ̩̠̩̪͢sa̱̺̩̘̭̺v̜̩̰̜̙ę̫ h-"

The creature's words were cut off as Spike ripped it's head off. The mask fell to the ground and shattered into thousands of pieces.

Rarity's eye's went wide as she couldn't believe her Spikey just killed.

Spike dropped the body and tossed the head as he stood over the crops, Blood leading out where the head use to be as he let out a powerful roar.

Then, He fell to the ground and shrunk back to his baby foam.

Rarity bent down and notice he was sound asleep "I-I need to get him some where safe." She picked him up and placed him on her back as she looked for some where she they could be safe if any more of those Thing's come looking for them.

Danny and Twilight walked through the dark hall's of the old factory as they searched for a way out.

"Hey, I think I found a way out!" Twilight said pointing her lantern.

Danny turned his head to look at the way out and he felt a chill go down his spine. The sign on the wall said "Under ground tunnel." Danny notice some dry blood on the side of the sign and he looked at the pony then back down "Let's first look around before we go down the dark creepy tunnel." Danny said as he continued to walk.

Twilight rolled her eye's "It said's underground tunnel! There has to be an exit down there."

Danny stopped as he looked at Twilight "Listen, I don't if you have ever seen a horror film, But when ever someone goes down a dark creepy tunnel they die." He said "And I don't want to end up dead."

"Well, As long as we stick together we'll survive."

Danny turned "You can go ahead and go down the dark creepy tunnel, I'm going to look for away out where I won't end up dead."

"Hel͞lo͡ Danńy͡.̛.́.. ͝Tw̴i͢l͘ig̵ht̡, Rea͏dy ̴t͟o run͞?" Danny quickly took off running down the creepy tunnel with Twilight right behind him.

When they figured they were safe they stopped to take a breather.

"H-How did it get in?" She asked as she looked back the way they ran making sure it wasn't after them.

"I-It must have found a way inside." He said as he notice a door on the side "Vlad..... No."

"W-What's wrong?" Twilight asked noticing his eye's were glowing bright neon green "A-Are you alright?"

Danny notice as metal bar sitting on the ground. He picked it up and smashed the glass window as he opened the door "I'm fine." He said his voice scaring her.

He stepped inside the office and notice a file sitting on the desk. He walked over towards it and opened it and he notice a small tape taped to the folder "Slender, Case file." It read on the small tape.

"Slender? What's that?" He thought as he pulled the tape off the file.

"What's this thing?" Twilight asked pulling out a strange device.

"That's a tape player, Can I see that for a second?" He asked.

Twilight gave Danny the tape player as he opened the side and placed the tape inside.

"My name is Mike, I'm a researcher for Vlad Tech. My job is to run the lab's. Vlad has captured a creature called Slenderman and has placed him inside a cell, Research on this creature goes back to 1600's, Slenderman will find interest in a victim for reasons unknown, It would then contact the victim, if it is a child, presenting itself as friendly.

The adults he stalks have a common trait: they have all been through a terrible tragedy in their life, even if the tragedy was made by Slenderman directly.

If an adult, it would stalk the victim for long amounts of time causing what is known as "Slender sickness" causing massive paranoia, nose bleeds, nightmares, hallucinations appearing to only the sick person, and many other dangerous symptoms.

Eventually, it would abduct the victim into nearby forest, where they would be killed.

In 'messy' cases, it may remove evidence of its existence by causing fire of their home, place of work, or school."

The tape cut as they heard screaming in the back ground "I-It's lose, It's killing everyone that saw it, I will do the only thing I can do," They heard his laugh that sent chill's down the two's spine's "A portal to another world, That's where I am now and that's where it will remain.... But at a cost, A worm hole will open up to other worlds and will take random people or other creature's it think's will make a good hunt. To those who find this, Find the page's, It's the key to al-" The tape cut again as it switched "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE YOU'RE GOING TO DI-" Danny turned off the tape player as he shivered.

"W-What happened to him?" She asked looking at the tape Danny was holding.

He looked at her and knew what happened "Slender sickness."

"He said the page's were key to something before.... Before he went mad." She said as she looked at the page's on her lantern "Maybe, These number's our the key?"

"They might be."

They heard a roar out side that made the two jump.

"T-That sound like.... Spike!" Twilight quickly ran out of the office as Danny chased after her.

When he ran out, There standing in front of Twilight was the creature that was chasing them "Ŗ̲͎̤̪̳u̫̭͓̞͝n.͕̠̻͙̩̘̞"

Danny notice only one way they could go "This way!" He grabbed her as she stood frozen in free.

The creature went to chase them when it fell to it's knee's and let out a sharp hiss as a crack appeared on it's mask.

Sam held her side as she tried to out run this creature that had attacked her.

"N-No eyes........ W-White face... D-Danny." She fell to her side as she felt the blood leaking out of her side as a shadowy figure came closer towards her as black tentacles came towards her "D-Danny."

Sam's vision slowly began to go as she saw it get closer.

A blinding light made the figure take off leaving Sam to wonder what happened.

"Don't worry, I'm going to get you some where safe." All she saw was pair of green eye's before she lost conscious.

Applejack held her leg keeping the blood from leaking out as she tried to find away out of this forest.

"Yo̸u'͢re͘ ̡mi͟n̡e Li̴tt͝l͢e̷ ̛P̛o̸ny̧." The creature said stepping out of the shadow as it made it's way's toward's her.

"G-Get ya way from me!" She yelled "Or Ah'll-"

"Or y͡o͘ų'ĺl҉ ̸what͟? Hur̷t̸ ͠m̀e? You'r̕é ҉w̕e̶a̡k ̶a̢n̨d̵ ҉y̸ou'҉r̷è ̵fri̸en̕d'͟s̛ w҉íl̶l͠ ͝ne̸v͡e͝r ͠s̴ave͟ y̢ou." It took another step toward's her "Yo̕u'r͟e ͜fam͘ily͝ w͝i̶l̶l̶ ̸n̷ev́e͢r ̴see̢ y҉o͡ų ͞aga҉i͘n."

This brought tear's to her eye's as she the memory's of her family came flooding into her mind.

Applejack closed her eyes excepting her fate knowing she'll never make it out of this forest alive.

"HEY! YOU!" Applejack's eyes open and she notice another creature standing on the path way.

Just as she saw the creature a flash of light blinder her as she heard the creature that was trying to attack her let out a loud scream.

"You're injury's are mad, But lucky for you I have first aid." The creature she saw on the hill say to her as she was bent down next to her.

"W-What are you doing?" She asked feeling weak as her vision was slowly going.

"I'm saving you're life." He said noticing her eyes slowly closing "Stay in the light, Don't go to the darkness." He said scooping her up in his arm's as he took off.

"D̕amn͞ y҉o̴ú.̵" The creature said watching the human carry Applejack off leaving her trapped inside the light.

A roar could be heard and the creature gripped it's head as it's mask cracked "N͝o̢,͜ ͞H͡e̸ ̡ki͠ļl͡e̶d her͟...̶N̡ew ͏targ̨e͜t,T͘h̕e ͝d͡rag͠on." It stood and the light broke freeing it as it made it's way toward's the sound.
