Ectoplasm

Twilight looked around, it was dark with a white fog everywhere, “hello?” she called, hoping for someone, anyone to answer, but what she heard was an evil cackle in the shadows along with the sound of random voices. The creature’s voice echoed everywhere, one word over and over;

“Goodnight”, Twilight ran even though she did not know where she was going. Then she saw the creatures shadow in the fog and although she was running it stayed right in front of her, like she wasn’t even moving. She felt the fog grab her by the hooves, she tried to run but could only watch as the shadow of the creatures shadow engulfed her entirely. She looked around in the darkness, the fog was only up to her ankles now but it still held fast, she looked in front of her and heard the creature’s voice again, “too late” at that moment two enormous, glowing red eyes appeared in front of her as the voice cackled loudly, Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs as her surroundings flashed white, awaking her from her unconsciousness.

Twilight woke up with a start while still screaming, she stopped when she noticed a familiar surroundings; she was in a room at the ponyville hospital. “You okay Twilight?” she heard a familiar voice, when she turned her head and smiled to see Spike running towards her with tears in his eyes. Spike leaped up and gave Twilight a tight hug, “Twilight, I was so worried, I thought I’d never see you again” he was on the verge of crying. Twilight was relieved; she had survived, but right now she needed spike to let go,

“Err, and Spike” she commented with a slightly pained tone,

“yes?”

“Please let go, my chest still hurts.”

“Oh, sorry”, Spike let go and dropped to the floor.

“Miss Twilight” Nurse Redheart poked her head in, “you have visitors”, Twilight turned to the door as her friends all ran in.

“Twilight, are you okay?” Applejack was the first to comment, Rainbow dash was the next to speak up,

“Princess Celestia told us what happened, we were all worried”, Twilight did her best to smile,

“Well, my chest still stings, I lost a lot of blood, and my leg is broken, so I’d say I got lucky”. Pinkie Pie suddenly jumped up and down,

“I know, we should all sign her cast” She dashed out and in less than a second ran back in with a bunch of markers. Each of them took turns writing their names on Twilight's cast, “Thanks for visiting me” Twilight lay back in her bed and turned her head to the window, despite everything being normal there was still a chill in the air. She blinked her eyes a couple of times and squinted as she saw a grey mist miles away on the western mountains, she paled. Miles out in the mist a shadow watched ponyville from the fog, and a grating voice echoed,

“Beware Sparkle, the nightmare is not yet over.”
