Shadow in the Bushes

Terror. That's all that Applejack could feel. She was alone in the Everfree Forest, at night. The hooting of the owls, the howling of the timberwolves it all freaked her out a bit. She felt as if she was running about in circles and that's when she came upon a tree with a strange note on it. It read,

Always Watches

No Eyes

She picked the note off the tree and all of a sudden she could hear drums in her ears. Applejack tried her best to stay calm and trotted off. She found more of those pages and collected them and every page she collected the more scary sounds she could hear in her ears. And that's when she saw it. Right in the corner of her eye a tall pale, white thin pony in a dark suit and red tie. But there was no face and on it's flank a red circle with an x through it. When she stared at it she could feel static cloud her vision and dark tendrils sprout from it's back and ran away in fear. She just kept running and running as she constantly found that mysterious thing behind her and ran into a dead end. She stared right at that mysterious pony appear in front of her and trot dangerously close.

"W-w-w-w-what in t-t-t-t-the hay a-a-a-a-a-are you?!" Applejack shouted in fear.

The mysterious pony said nothing as it had no face. Although she could have sworn she saw an evil smirk appear and saw the tendrils appear again as static clouded her vision as she screamed in terror as the tendrils wrapped around her.

________________________________________

Applejack screamed in terror as she awoke from her sleep breathing heavily. She looked over herself and didn't find any tendrils and sighed in relief,

"That dream again. Why does it keep happening?"

She turned on her side and tried to get back to sleep but outside her window she didn't know that she was being watched a shadowy figure. Lightning struck as the figure revealed to be the tall pony in her dreams and disappeared as the lightning stopped.
