A Nightmare on Pony Street

This is the one and only disclaimer, because I find it redundant to put it before every chapter. I OWN NOTHING! A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET AND MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. I HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ANY CHARACTERS USED AND THIS IS A NON-PROFIT STORY.

Twilight Sparkle, a teenage scholar, wandered through some sort of boiler room. She was confused as to where she was and why she was here.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Twilight called softly.

Her only response was the sound of metal scraping against metal. She covered her ears, and shiver went down her spine.

"Show yourself!" She cried fearfully. All of a sudden several metal pipes fell from an upper level. The sound surprised her, so in turn she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Twilight began to laugh at herself, "It's just some pipes," she chuckled to herself, as if one of her friends were there.

She walked up a set of stairs the spiraled up. She could have sworn she heard footsteps behind her, but when she looked back, there was nothing except the stairs. The floor has disappeared.

Twilight ran up the stairs as fast as she could, when she reached the top, she saw that the stairs were gone. If fact she was now in a red void. Just her, the rafter she was standing on and an eerie red light.

She walked for what seemed like hours until she just stopped. Some outside force held her in place. She stood like this for two whole minutes.

A clawed hand reached around Twilight, trying to cut her. It missed her and slashed four holes into her lavender nightgown. A burnt hand grabbed her hair and for a few heartbeats she could see a scarred face and fedora.

The image was quickly lost when her fore head collided with the railing, all went black.

Twilight woke up on the floor. She had guessed that the dream left her tossing and turning so much, that she flopped out of the bed. But what was strange was that when she touched her head there was blood!

She calmed down and realized it was probably from the fall. But when she looked her night gown, there were four holes exactly like the ones in the nightmare.

Twilight cleaned the wound and put a large, water-proof, band-aid over it. She grabbed a crucifix she kept in the drawer  and curled up on her bed. She didn't get any sleep for the rest if the night.

Twilight got ready for school when morning came. She showered, dressed, and considered staying home. Of course there was no way that Shining Armor would let her.

Shining Armor became head of the household when their parent died in a car crash about six years before. Shining Armor was twenty when that happened and was fresh out of the police academy. He rose quickly through the ranks and was rather close to becoming chief. He had subbed a few times and did a damn good job when he did. Many found him too young, but he never lest a case without solving it; and he absolutely didn't let the DA take someone to trial without enough evidence to put them away. And seventy-three percent of the time he even got a confession to boot.

Twilight sighed when she heard Shining calling for her. Twi walked downstairs and saw their adoptive brother Spike eating a bowl of Lucky Charms.

"Twi I heard some noises from your room," Spike began, "What did Big Mac sneak into your room again."

Twilight rolled her eyes, "No, I fell out of bed and hurt my head Spike!" she snapped earning a laugh from the younger male. He could always get a reaction like that from her.

"I was about to ask what happened to you're head. How did you fall out of your out of your bed?" Shining asked.

Twilight shrugged, "I was having a nightmare, and I guess I just tossed and turned enough to roll out of bed. I guess my head hit the floor pretty hard because I was bleeding," she said conveniently leaving out that part about her night gown being torn

"I thought you just popped a giant zit and was hiding the wound," Spike said getting a frown from Twilight, and a chuckle from Shining Armor.

"All right, all right. Stop teasing your sister." Shining armor said setting down three plates of food. The three ate bacon, eggs, french toast, and sausage. Twilight had a cup of coffee along with Shining Armor, while Spike had a large glass of OJ.

Twilight, after she ate, left for school pretty early, she wanted to talk to the counselor about her dream. She needed to find out what it meant.

She arrived at School with a full hour before the first bell. Thankfully the School counselor, Cadence, was there already.

Privately they had been good friends long before Twi entered High School. Cadence had babysat her multiple times in the past and they knew each other well. In fact Cadence was the reason that Twilight convinced all her friends to go to their high school.

"Cadence, can I talk to you?" Twilight asked softly with a bit of an awkward expression.

"Of course Twilight, " Cadence said noticing her expression and the bandage, "Is something wrong?"

Twilight sighed, "It's... it's a long story."

Twilight wen through every last detail. She had memorized what she saw, heard, felt, smelt, and even the taste of the air. She spoke of the burned man that had attacked her,

Cadence listened to what she said and then pulled out a list of names. She saw seven names, including Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Cadence herself. Cadence added Twi's name to the list, "You're the eighth person over the past month to have a nightmare with a burned man. All accounts of this man have been very similar, although you saw the least of him."

"I've had dreams like this for almost a week, but I woke and my head was bleeding. My night gown had the exact same cuts as the ones in the dream!" Twi exclaimed.

"This is all quite weird Twilight; I'll research this. In the meantime I think you should go home and rest. You don't look so good.

"But..."

"I'll take the heat. You go home, find a distraction."

Twilight sighed, "Maybe you're right. But what about Shining Arm-"

Cadence already had a phone in her hand, "I don't think he'll argue with me."

Twilight left, At least I can get to the bottom of this she thought as she walked home.
