What Happens on Nightmare Night?: A Early Halloween Short Story

When Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash died, Twilight sent Applejack and Rarity out to continue looking for Pinkie. Twilight stayed clear for the mysterious killer, but, she may not make it. Applejack and Rarity were talking about the deaths.

"So, do you think the killer will find us?" Rarity questioned.

"I don't know," Applejack said. "But no dang' killer will kill me and ya'll off."

Rarity was scared. She had seen one of her friends dead, but that wouldn't stop her from hiding. Applejack and Rarity came across an carnival game. On the top, it said, Pin The Tail on the Pony. Upon further inspection, the carnival game had an manager door saying,

DO NOT TRESPASS! DANGEROUS USE OF OBJECTS USED HERE!

"This might be an pin rack area," Rarity said. "But we can't trespass here."

"Yea we can!" Applejack said, kicking the door open.

Inside was an pin rack indeed, but what they found was shocking. Near the pin's was the manager, dead.

"Good celestia!" both ponies shouted.

They ran over to the manager, who had a pin on his head. Disgusted, they tried to leave, but the door suddenly closed, locking them inside. They tried to find a light switch.

"Dear, Applejack?" Rarity said. "Are you okay?"

"Yea, Rarity." she said.

Suddenly, hoof-steps were heard.

"What's that?" Rarity said.

Then, a scream was heard, which sounded like Applejack. Scared, Rarity tried to find the light switch. Eventually she found it, but when she turned it on, Applejack was nowhere to be found. Rarity then tried to find Applejack, but didn't. Then, she walked out, and saw something scary: Applejack tied to the bench!

"MMMPH!" Applejack screamed, but couldn't talk with tape over her.

"APPLEJACK!" Rarity screamed.

Then, the announcement came up for the game.

"All right, fillies and gentlecolts! Get ready!"

On the base, there was bass gun's mounted to the base, which somehow booted up on their own. Then, a new announcement came up on the game.

"Applejack....." the voice said. "You're next!"

Then, the gun's immediately fired, piercing Applejack's body.

"ACK!" Applejack coughed.

"NO!" Rarity screamed.

Then, another shot hit Applejack's neck.

"...ACK!" Applejack coughed again, this time spitting out blood.

Rarity watched in terror as Applejack was being killed in front of her. As the final shot almost killed Applejack, the killer came out, laughing like crazy. Rarity was about to attack, but the colt's magic was powerful then her magic. The colt finally finished Applejack off by a pin to the head. Rarity sobbed very loud, causing the colt's ears to hurt. Rarity tried to run, but the colt got up quick and pinned her against a corner.

"Why did you sneak you're noses into my business?" he said, using a rock to hit Rarity. "When you could have left this place."

With a bleeding nose, Rarity spit in his face.

"Fine," he said. "You'll be my next vic-ACK!"

Twilight, who was standing behind the killer, knocked him out.

"T-T-Twilight?" Rarity said.

"I knocked him out for a while, so he won't stay down for awhile."

Rarity and Twilight ran away from the area, where Applejack was killed. It was sad for Rarity, but she had to move on. Back at the festival area, Twilight and Rarity hid. Twilight was worried about survival.

"..H-H-He killed Applejack...." a sad Rarity said.

"I know...." Twilight stuttered.

It was almost five AM. They had to hurry and find Pinkie, and fast. Because of the kills, the killer could find them, and kill them. Twilight had to make a plan in order to escape this sick game. Rarity couldn't take this anymore. Too many ponies had been killed, and it was making her insane. Twilight didn't notice this, because she was busy thinking. Eventually, the ponies had been set to finally find Pinkie. They also had the gear with them. In order of surviving, they had to kill the killer to survive. And they made sure they were safe of any signs of him.

"O.K," Twilight said. "It's safe."

The ponies ran towards places, searching for a smell of Pinkie.

"Well, Pinkie has some kind of cotton candy smell." Rarity said.

After five minutes, they smelled Pinkie's cotton candy smell. It was around some old warehouse.

"She's in there!" Twilight shouted.

"Wait!" Rarity said. "What if the killer's in there?"

"He possibly won't?" Twilight said.

They ran inside the warehouse to see multiple rooms. They tried to locate the smell, but it wasn't in any of the rooms. Until, the door locked.

"You......Ponies...." he said.

"AH!" both ponies screamed.

They ran away from the killer until Rarity was stabbed by an trap axe.

"RARITY!" Twilight screamed.

"..G-Go on without m-me, T-T-Twilight....." Rarity coughed.

The pony was bleeding across the floor, the killer still in pursuit. Twilight sobbed a little bit before leaving the dying Rarity. The killer pulled the axe from her body, and used it for a weapon. Twilight was running as fast as she could before she finally found Pinkie.

"...Twilight!" Pinkie said.

Pinkie was strapped to a spinning wheel. Twilight gasped.

"Pinkie, hold on! I'll get you.-"

"Not so fast!"

Twilight turned to see the killer, using magic to hold the bloodied axe. She then ran towards the killer, and hit him. On the floor, he was struggling to get up. Twilight then ran to Pinkie and tried to untie the straps.

"Thanks, Twi-LOOK OUT!"

Twilight turned and was stabbed by the axe.

"NO!"

"GAH!" Twilight screamed, falling out of bed.

Twilight looked around her bedroom. It was only a dream. She sighed.

"Only a dream."

Then, Spike, Twilight's dragon assistant, ran to her.

"Twilight!" he screamed. "Are you okay?"

She looked at his worried face. She knew by his face that he'd never seen her wake up during the night.

"Yes, Spike. I am."

"Okay," he said. "I'm going back to sleep."

Then, he ran back downstairs. She was safe either from dream or in real life. She then went back to her bed. She finally went to sleep.

"Good night."

The End....Or is it?
