Ponygeist

NOTE: I'm so extremely sorry for the late chapter. I've been so busy with other stories that I haven't had time for this story. Well anyways, here's Chapter 4 of Ponygeist!

The cold, dead stare of Pinkie Pie sent chills down Spike and Sweetie Belles backs. There just seemed something wrong about them. It was as if she had been dragged there, waiting for the television to turn on to plain static. Every ten seconds, the static got worse. It was now to the point where it was almost like a strobe light, illuminating the room with a flashing, grey light. Plus, the way she had said, "They're here" made the scene more creepy than it needed to be. Finally, the children couldn't handle the tension.

"Um, Pinkie? You okay?" Spike asked.

The pink mare continued to stare at them with the same dead stare. It was as if her pupils were shrinken down to the size of an ant. Her blue eyes, mixed with the barely visible pupils did not make a pretty picture.

"Okay, Pinkie. Please stop it." Spike said.

Still no answer from the pink pony.

"Seriously, Pinkie. You're starting to creep me out." Spike said again.

No reply.

"Stop it, please!" Sweetie Belle finally said, the fear level extremely present in her voice. "You're scaring me!"

As if on cue, Pinkie Pie slowly turned her head back towards the television. The strobe effect eminating from the television made a huge, flashing shadow of the pink mare on the wall behind Sweetie and Spike. Another thing to add to the already growing list of creepy things going on at the moment.

"Pinkie?" Spike asked. Pinkie Pie kept her focus on the television. "Is this some sort of joke? Because it's not funny."

Again, no answer coming from her.

"Please stop!" Sweetie pleaded, tears starting to form in her eyes.

Pinkie payed no attention.

"What is the matter with you?!" Spike asked, getting impatient, and scared.

No fucking answer.

"Alright, Pinkie! This has gone far enough!" Spike said, removing the blanket off of him, getting off of Sweetie Belle, and standing up.

Pinkie seemed to take no notice of his actions.

"Whatever's wrong with you, get out of it!" Spike said, walking towards the pink mare.

As he got closer to her, the worse the static on the television became.

"You know, you have to realize that pranks can go a little too far. So I just want you to-" the dragon got cut off by a wierd muttering noise.

Spike slowly inched his way around the pink pony to see what the noise was. He saw her muttering words of some sort. After a few seconds, he understood the last words.

If you try to react, which is not clever,

Spike's eyes widened.

You'll be staying with us,

Spike began to back away.

Forever.

All of a sudden, a ghostly hand emerged from the T.V.  It was clearly transperant and looked as if it were made out of some sort of electricity. As quickly as it appeared, it swirled, disappearing into thin air.

Sweetie Belle screamed, and Spike fell to the ground, slowly backing away on his back. The television was now flickering, creating a strobe effect that the children had never seen before. The room was flashing the brightest light that could easily turn somepony blind. The strobing gave the illusion of choppy animation coming from Pinkie Pie.

Right as the two kids were about to cry, the television turned off, filling the room with darkness once more.

Spike could hear Sweetie Belle breathing loudly, and in the quietness, he could hear his own heartbeat.

"What just happened?" Sweetie asked.

"I don't know." Spike replied.

"Is it over?" she asked.

"I don't know." Spike said again.

All of a sudden, a faint light started to emerge from the wall to the right of them. It slowly got brighter every second. Spike got up and began crawling away once again. Within a few seconds, he was at the couch, with Sweetie holding on to his arm. The light got bigger and bigger, revealing Pinkie Pie still in front of the television. The pink mare was staring at the growing light source. Soon, the white light was filling the entire room with a blinding, bright light. It slowly got bigger and bigger. Spike began to back up against the couch, Sweetie grasping onto him tight.

Suddenly, a new source of light appeared.....on the wall. It got bigger by the second, and soon, it was as bigger than the light coming from the television. Pinkie stared at the glowing light, her pupils shrinking due to it's brightness. As if a sudden burst of wind entered the treehouse, it blew across the whole room. Sweetie and Spike nearly got pushed into the other room.

"What....was....that...." Spike asked.

"I don't know...." Sweetie muttered a reply.

Then, out of nowhere, a new force of wind appeared. This time, however, it was pulling them towards the wall. The two children desperately grabbed onto the cushions of the couch.

"Hang on Sweetie Belle!" Spike yelled. The white filly didn't answer, too scared to even in the first place.

Pinkie Pie slowly got dragged towards the light.

"Pinkie!" Spike yelled.

But it was too late. Within a few seconds, the pink mare disappeared into the light.

The two suddenly noticed that the two remaining crusaders, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, were being sucked off the couch, and towards the white vortex.

"Sweetie!" the dragon yelled, catching Sweetie Belle's attention. She too noticed the two fillies being sucked off the couch.

Right before they got sucked onto the floor, Spike let go of the cushion.

"Spike!" Sweetie yelled.

Spike grabbed both the sleeping fillies with his free hands. But then he noticed that he had nothing to keep himself stable to hold on to. Right before he got pulled off the couch, Sweetie Belle managed to grab his tail with one forehoof. The two children screamed as hard as they could.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy suddenly woke up to the noise of the screaming children downstairs.

"The children!" the cyan pegasus yelled, as the two mares got out of bed.

They suddenly realized that they were in complete darkness. Stumbling, they tried to find their way to the locked door.

The children held on to each other as hard as they could, while the vortex began to shrink. Within a few moments, it finally disappeared, making the room dark once again. The kids fell to the ground. Looking at each other, Sweetie Belle and Spike began to cry.

Suddenly, Twilight and her friends appeared at the door.

"What happened?" Twilight asked.

A faint light eminated from her glowing horn, lighting up the room a little bit. The unicorn noticed the children crying. Before she could ask, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came running in. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo just barely woke up right then.

"What happened?!" Rainbow Dash asked, out of breath.

Twilight then noticed something wrong about the picture. But she couldn't quite put a hoof on it. As if she got hit in the head with a hammer, it came to her. Pinkie Pie was nowhere to be seen.

"Spike?" Twilight asked, the young dragon looking at her, tears streaming down his eyes. "Where's Pinkie?"

Taking a small gulp, he choked out, "T-they took her....."
