Two Reflections

chapter 2

Fluttershy's head springs up from her bed in sure terror as sounds of rain cluster against the window. She gives a yelp that echoed across the cottage.

Before she knew it, four thundering hoofsteps could be heard dashing up the stairs, along with thumping bunny hops.

Her bedroom door flew open as quick as she noticed it. The white Pegasus standing before the terrified mare rushed to her rescue, his two front hooves resting upon the right side of her bed. Angel hops into Fluttershy's lap, no longer beheaded.

           "Fluttershy! Are you ok? I heard you all the way from downstairs." Crashie's eyes were filled with worry. For he vowed to do whatever he could to comfort her and protect her from any danger.

Fluttershy leaned towards him and held his hoof really tight. "Oh Crashie, I just had the most horrific nightmare. There was this eyeless mare who...." She was detained by the vision. "Looked like me. She was trying to kill me. She killed Angel Bunny and I saw blood everywhere." Her voice cracks under pressure of telling the tale. She bursts into tears.

In a tight embrase, Crashie hugs her and replies; "I won't let anything happen to you or Angel, I promise." She cries loudly over Crashie's shoulder as he strokes her mane, unable to reply.

On the outside of the cottage, lightning crashes across the night sky as a shadowy mare shuffles into the Everfree Forest. She holds a chainsaw in her left hoof and drags a fat body bag in the other.
