Nightmare or Treat
Chapter 5: Blood Moon: Part 1
Previous ChapterNext Chapter[The Dream Realm. Forest of Scattered Souls.]
The two had stopped fighting upon hearing the bellowing voice. They looked up to see a black mass of smoke with pitch white eyes gliding toward them from a blood red sky. To Discord, this was unnerving. He had been in this dream scape before in his own mind. It was the Forest of Scattered Souls. A place known to hold the darkest of entities for all of eternity. However, something was different this time. Instead of a normal starry night sky, it was replaced with a horrifying sight of maroon clouds, a red sky, and a black sun. The black mass in was on top of a cliff looking over the two. It gave out a ghostly moan and the mass started to form into figure. Discord and Sam sat and watched as a the form of the princess of the night glided down from the cliff. The little killer had gotten off of Discord and stood on his feet. The draconoquise himself remained laying on the ground in horror.
"I command you stop this senseless encounter at once!" her voice boomed.
Discord gulped while Sam sat and looked at Luna. This new pony was a lot more pretty to look at. Her mane looked like the night sky, her eyes were liked sapphires and she had this strange power resonating around her. She wore a black dress with a crescent moon plastered on the side of it. The pretty pony didn't look happy though. Sam's attention strengthened from Luna as she started to speak with a firm tone.
"I knew I felt someone enter the forest. But never would I have guessed it would be you two. Come to spread chaos in the dream world Discord?" Luna said crossing her arms.
The freak of nature monster next to Sam shot, or should he say teleported, to his feet in front of the princess. Pleading his case with her. Sam tilted his head, this creatures emotions turned completely around upon seeing the pretty pony.
"L-luna don't be insane! I didn't want to come here because I wanted to! I was trying to get rid of THIS little monster!" Discord said. Pointing at Sam.
The princess broke her gaze from Discord and softened it as she saw the little orange costume. Luna cold feel the dark power coming off the child. He was powerful in his own way. Though, something felt off about him. If what Discord said is true, she needed to be careful and not let the child ambush her. Luna wasn't so great with little ones, that was her sisters domain. She was the mother figure. Luna took in a breathe and walked over to the little child standing in front of her. She lowered herself down, sitting on her knees. She gave the little one a soft smile.
"Greetings child. My name is Luna, princess of the night. Who might you be?"
The child didn't answer. Instead he used his finger to write his name in the dirt. She gave a smile to the child as he finished writing his name.
"Sam. That's a nice name. Now, can I ask where you came from?"
Behind them, Discord rolled his eyes and gave a annoyed scoff. He felt a chill go up his spine as he felt Luna's eyes connect with his. He gave a nervous laugh and slowly backed away from the princess and child. Luna returned her attention to Sam. She was still waiting for his answer. The, Discord chimed in.
"He doesn't talk."
After shooting another warning glare at the draconoquise, Luna took in his words. Maybe the child was just shy. Luna then got an idea. However, she wasn't so sure how the child would react. She would hate to be his enemy after just one meeting. However, a strange sense of curiosity came over the princess. It felt as though the dark presence around Sam was familiar somehow and she needed to know why. She thought about for a another moment before making her decision.
"Listen Sam, in order for me to know your origin. I need to see into your mind."
Sam's attention was now at full alert. The pretty pony in front of him wanted to know where he was created? He didn't want her to see it. Not anyone was allowed to know more about Sam then just his name. He pulled his candy knife from his back pocket and let out a ear splitting screech as he lunged at Luna. The princess was to slow to react. She saw the small blade coming closer to her neck. Then, a violent stream of crimson flooded Luna's vision. She expected herself to be dead. She snapped open her eyes to see four thin blades through Sam's chest. The little killer dropped his knife and slowly reached down to the blades. Then, the blades pulled themselves back out. Blood spurt from the wound onto Luna's face. Then came, a malicious toned cackle behind Sam.
"Well that was expected eh?"
Luna grabbed onto Sam and held him tight in her arm and she and stood on her hooves. She looked and saw a figure standing in the darkness. He worse a red and green sweater, brown pants, and wearing a black hat. She then saw the blood stained metal claw hanging next to him. Discord rushed over to Luna's side and gave the mysterious person a confused look.
"Why did you save-?"
"No, I didn't save her. Just saving her for myself." the figure said with a happy tone of malice.
Luna gritted her teeth. She held Sam tighter, feeling his slow breathing.
"Who are thou!" she commanded.
The figure walked behind a tree he was next to. Both quickly ran over to see him gone. Both gave confused looks.
"What? Yah never heard of me?" the voice said.
The tow turned and saw the figure standing in the same cliff Luna was on before. His body more lit from the sun. The figures face looked burnt, his teeth a sick yellow color, and his eyes were full of evil and destruction. Luna had seen this monster before. In Jason's memories she recalled seeing this creature. He gave another menacing cackle and sat himself on the cliff.
"I'm surprised that masked fool didn't tell you! Then again, how could he?" he cackled again.
Luna felt her rage building up. She stepped forward and pointed toward the figure.
"Enough nonsense! Answer my question!"
The figure gave her a annoyed glance. Luna felt her bravery slowly fade.
"Your no fun toots. You can call me Freddy." he said proudly.
Luna narrowed her eyes. Then, she felt movement in her arms. Sam raised his arm and placed his little palm next to him. The dark energy around him was far weaker then it was last time. His strength was fading. She shot Freddy a furious glance.
"How could you harm a child you monster!"
Freddy cackled even harder. Luna didn't break her expression but felt a pit in her stomach grow. Freddy stopped his laughing and wiped a tear from his eye. Clearly he thought of her question as hilarious.
"Oh man! If only you knew how much you said was true!" he said with a wide smile.
Discord walked up and Freddy addressed him as well. He pointed a metal claw toward him and gave a nasty yellow smile.
"Oh I know about you Discord. No need for intros." Discord gave Freddy a surprised look. "I don't let a day go by without knowing the wonderful mayhem you used to cause back in your day. Oh how it was wonderful! That was, until you let these ponies get ahold of you." Freddy shot Luna a disapproving glint in his eye.
The princess returned the look. Speaking in a angry tone.
"Discord choose to reform himself. Do not change the subject!" she boomed.
Freddy felt the wind from her royal Canterlot tone and gave a wolf like howl.
"Oh...I love the fiery ones!" he cackled.
Luna had enough. She charged her horn and let out a stream of magic. Freddy grinned and disappeared inside a circle of fire. Luna and Discord looked around everywhere. Freddy was no where to be seen. They then heard his laughter from the darkness of the forest.
"I'm sorry but it appears I must be going now. Poor ol' Sam will die and soon all of your world will be next!" Freddy gave a loud cackle before his voice vanished into the forest.
Luna refused to let that happen. She laid Sam on the ground, his blood soaking his costume and Luna's dress. She didn't know healing magic nor did Discord. Luna would have to send Sam and Discord out of the dream world before Sam dies in his sleep. With a magic engulfing the three, Luna teleported them from the world. They were expecting to be back home. But only darkness was what the spell transported them too. Sam was gone, leaving only Luna and Discord.
"Okay I'll bite. Where are we?" Discord said to himself.
Luna attempted to use her spell again. However she didn't even feel a spark. Come to think of it, she couldn't feel any magic in in her body at all! It was like she was sapped of it but no tragic affects. Discord tried to use his magic as well but only found himself snapping his fingers repeatedly. Then, came the voices.
"Is it ready yet?"
"If you mean HIM then not yet."
"You know for a damn fact I'm not calling this thing human!"
Luna and Discord waited for something to show itself. But the voices still continued.
"Do you have the book?"
"Yeah, here."
Suddenly, a flash of light blinded Luna and Discord for only a few seconds before it stopped and the two saw a candle lit room with two shapes of figures surrounding a white pentagram with a orange suited sack boy in the middle of it. One of the figures held a demonic looking book in his hands.
"If this works...we'll go down in history!"
"As what exactly?"
"As the people who created a more superior Halloween legend then those other killers. Voorhees, Kruger, Chucky, hell even that freak from Texas. All of them are gonna get blown out the water!"
Luna puzzled herself. These beings knew about Jason and Freddy? Who were the ones know as Chucky and the one from Texas? What is Texas anyways? To many questions, and not enough answers Luna concluded. For now, she needed to listen.
"Fine then. But if this flies south, its your head. Then again it is gonna be your head."
"Oh shut up and bring me the dagger!"
One of the figures handed the other a dagger. Both said an indescribable phrase to both Luna and Discord and the pentagram ignited in a fiery blaze. The one with the dagger raised it above his head and with a powerful thrust, sent the dagger down in a tiny circle below the doll. Then, the doll twitched violently and its wool body formed to flesh and bone. But the creature that replaced the doll resembled a skin covered skeleton. The little monster blinked its pitch black eyes and let out a adorable yawn.
"Oh my god it worked! The necronamican spell worked!"
"Oh! What do we call him?"
The one figure hummed to himself.
"Ah I got it! We'll can him Sam!"
"Really? That's the best you could do?"
"Hey dumbass if you got anything better I'll be glad to hear it!"
Luna and Discord listened and watched as the two bickered with each other for minutes before the tiny monster in the circle stood up and saw the two. Then, it gave a evil grin toward the two. It then let out a scream and leaped toward the two figures. Their screaming and the sound of flesh being ripped was all Luna could stomach. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. Waiting for the screams to stop.
