Nightmares by Daylight

Daylight woke up soon after, his eyes adjusting to the dark room. He put his hooves behind him to feel the cold metal of the PVM before giving off a sigh in relief. He hops off of a table before he looks around the room, scanning it carefully with his golden yellow eyes.

There was a single drawer to the right on a wall in the room. Daylight jumped off the table and trotted over to it, slowly swinging it open in curiosity. Upon opening this drawer Daylight is met with a display of syringes, one was filled with a red substance, even some on the needle and another had a green liquid inside that gave off a faint glow. Daylight reached for the glowing syringe before he felt a bit of pain in his forehoof as he stretched it. He reared it back from the drawer and looked it over. He noticed a small little dot on his forehoof and he tilted his head, before his eyes widened and he looked at the syringe filled with the red substance.

Was that red substance... His blood...?

This made Daylight shudder. Who would want a sample of blood from him and why? What were they gonna do with it? Daylight only thought of these questions for a couple seconds before letting out a sigh and trotting to the door. Pushing his weight against it and causing it to swing open. he found himself in the lobby where he encountered Nightshade. He shined his flashlight around the room before moving to another door, ignoring the locked door behind him.

Daylight pushed the wood door open, to reveal another hallway, this one had a couple doors on each side, and he could see an intersection ahead as he shined his light down the hallway. The hallway was wide enough to have desks in some areas on the sides of the hallway. The doors on each side were tightly shut. Daylight stepped into the old hallway and began to walk forward, glancing around warily. The wooden doors looked a bit cleaner, and not as old as the door leading to the hallway. However, the walls looked cracked and torn a bit, and the ceiling was cracked and looked beyond repair. When Daylight passed the aging desks, he checked them over only to find nothing.

There was a door opened slightly near the intersection. Daylight cautiously stepped toward the eerily cracked open door, his hooves trembling as he gripped his flashlight and vacuum, he began to slowly push it open with his forehoof and positioned his flashlight to shine into the pitch black room as he did. Upon opening and glancing into the room, Daylight could see old, worn out chairs were on their sides, a broken table rested on the dusty floor of the room as well with two supports gone, the room also included empty cabinets on the sides of it which were wide open. Daylight could see something inside one of the cabinets with a white color that reflected the light emitting off his flashlight. Daylight trotted over to it and carefully picked it up out of the cabinet before scanning over it carefully.

To his shock, the paper had a picture of him on it, and along with it, there were words crudely marked around the picture with solid black writing, each word stating "KILL" in large letters. Daylight's heart began to race. "Why would someone in here want me dead? What do I do?" he wondered to himself. He starts to glance around nervously, he even begins to sweat and breath quicker. He stared down at the paper before throwing down on the ground and looking away.

As he turned his head from the paper, he was soon forcefully lifted off his hooves. He came face to face with yet another ghost, staring into him with it's glowing blue eyes. Before he could scream It began to grip Daylight's chest with it's free glowing green hoof which left a cold, icy feeling. as it gripped harder, Daylight yelled out in pain, but quickly summoned his strength and lifted his flashlight up, shining it at the ghost.

DING!

It froze in it's place and Daylight soon took the nozzle of the PVM and it began to pull the ghost toward it. This ghost did not last long, as it was shortly pulled into the device, and with that, it was gone. Daylight quickly trotted out of the room while taking deep breaths. There was a door at the end of each hallway and he stared at each one for a good time, before closing his eyes. Daylight opened his eyes a couple seconds later and began to trot to the door to the right of him. He summoned his strength to push the door open to reveal another room.

It was full of large desks that were connected to the floor with nothing on them except little pieces of glass. Papers littered the floor. Daylight cautiously picked one up in front of him and read through it, unable to make out any of the the writing on it. He set it down and fully trotted in the room, the door suddenly slammed shut behind him, leaving a loud, dreadful BANG. Daylight's heart skipped a beat at the sudden noise, and he quickly spun around. He desperately tried to force the door open again, but it refused to budge. Daylight sooned eased up and sighed, until he heard the sound of the doorknob fidgeting. When he turned his head he could see the silver knob turning to the left and the right quickly, accompanied by various rattling sounds.

Daylight jumped away from the door and dived for the closest desk and opened a cabinet attached to it. He squeezed himself into the confined space and slowly shut the door. Soon after, he heard a door swing open at the other end of the room, then soon slam shut. Daylight's heart began to race again as he hid in the cramped cabinet. He heard nothing for a short while, until...

"Come on out... I know you're in here somewhere child... Don't be shy... I'm not gonna hurt you..."

The voice was a mare's voice. It almost sounded comforting, and reassuring, sending a chill down his spine. He held his hoof against his mouth tightly and closed his eyes.

It was dead silent. The only sound being Daylight's muffled breathing.

Daylight waited inside the decaying cabinet for what felt like hours. After seconds more of silence, Daylight began to reach for the door, pressing his hooves against it gently, until suddenly swung open, and Daylight felt two stone cold hooves grab him and forcefully pull him out of the cabinet. Daylight made futile attempts to struggle against the entity to no avail. Daylight let out a scream as his attacker lifted him up to it's head, as it donned a sadistic grin.

"FOUND YOU!"
