The Nightmare Begins

In a cold and dark night, Fluttershy was driving down the road, she can hear the sound of the wheels, and felt a little scared due to everything is pitch black. She then noticed that her car's gas is about to be empty, she saw a street coming up, so she turned the wheel to have the car go right, and then the car stopped on it's own. She saw that the car ran out of gas and began to panic until she decided to stay calm. She thought about Twilight and then decided to call her. She picks up her phone from her right side that's laying face-up on a seat with her right hand. She dials the number with her thunder from her right hand. When she pushed the phone call symbol on the phone, it showed Twilight's name, and the phone number along with text "Calling." She raised up her right hand and lay it close to her right ear. She heard the phone ringing for few seconds until it stopped and then heard Twilight's voice which made her feel relieve.

"Hello?" asked Twilight

"Twilight, so glad to hear you," said Fluttershy

"What's wrong?" said Twilight

"My car broke down and I'm trapped in a creepy neighborhood. There's barely bushes and trees," said Fluttershy who started to get a little scared

"You better not be in Darku Street," said Twilight who started to get worried

"Darku Street?" asked Fluttershy who became curious

"Yes, it's not safe to be there. No one came out alive before morning," said Twilight

"Oh dear. I think I should leave but I'd prefer to stay in the car," said Fluttershy

"No-you need to get out of there," said Twilight

"Why-my car's headlights are on?" asked Fluttershy

"Turn them off now!" shouted Twilight

Fluttershy saw the nob near the wheel on left side. She turned the nob right and the headlights from the car turned off.

"Ok-it's turned off but why?" asked Flutterhshy

"You have to get out of the car and hid a lot in certain places in the neighborhood like the bushes. If you run and hid, you will die," said Twilight

"But how?" asked Fluttershy who started to get scared

"Because you're not alone and it doesn't like visitors. You should be concern what she'll do to you if it catches you," said Twilight.

"What is it?" asked Fluttershy

"The only thing I can say is that it's someone who you don't want to be around with and it doesn't like visitors. Now listen carefully because what I'm going to tell you will help you survive.

"I'm listening," said Fluttershy who started to feel relieve

"While you're walking, be sure to listen closely to its foot prints. As her foot prints draw near, it'll get louder. It cannot see you but is listening to your footsteps. If you turn out your flash light or headlights from your car, it'll catch you. If you do hear its footsteps, hide quickly to near a bush or under a car, and wait until the sound of its footsteps stop. Do not make a sound while hiding and if you do, it'll catch you. You can even find objects around the neighborhood to that'll get her attention such as glowing balls. Once the sun starts coming up, it'll vanish but will return once the sky gets dark. Once the sun is up, I'll wait for you by your car, and it should be good to go for you to leave," said Twilight

"How do you know these stuff?" asked Fluttershy

"A friend of ours went through this situation and didn't make a live," said Twilight

"And who was that friend?" asked Fluttershy

"Applejack," said Twilight

"Oh-no,"  said Fluttershy

The phone call then stopped.

"Hello?" asked Fluttershy

There was no answer.

"Hello?" asked Fluttershy

Still no answer. Fluttershy lowered her right hand that's still holding the phone. She looked to her left and saw a door handle. She used her left hand to have the seat belt released, raised up her hand to hear the level of the door handle, lifts it up and opened the door. She steps out of the car and closes the car behind her from behind with her left hand. She walks normally and tries to not make a sound like a normal sound of a person walking. She felt the weather that's temperture is 50. She starts to walk forward with the car facing left side. She tries to not scream or cry. She keeps telling herself to be brave. After five minutes of silence with no other footstep sound, she looked confused, and felt concern.

"Why am I not hearing anything?" whispered Fluttershy to herself

She continues to walk slowly until her right food stepped on a medium sized rock which caused her to tripped over in front of her. She falls on the ground with the sound was a little loud. She was laying on her legs that's facing right. She got up with her legs and noticed dirt on her knee cap. She brushed them off with her hands and then heard medium sound footsteps coming from her right side. She heard it and was able to scream until remembering what Twilight told her "If you do hear its footsteps, hide quickly to near a bush or under a car, and wait until the sound of its footsteps stop. Do not make a sound while hiding and if you do, it'll catch you." Fluttershy looked around herself and saw a big bush on left side in front of her. She walked quickly towards it, goes in it, and stands there. She was on her knees and the bush was covering her. She can feel the branches near her arms. She lifts up her left hand that was flat to lower the bush a little to see the creature. She then saw the creature with its glowing red eyes and white shark teeth. Its claws were shark as well and it had three toes that were sharp. It almost looked a lizard who's leaping and is same size as the tallest human being. It looked around itself and didn't see anything but bright red color. It was 10 inches away from the bush where Fluttershy was hiding. It  walked away and went right side from where Fluttershy was hiding. Fluttershy got out of the bush slowly and tries to not make a sound from the bush. She used her legs to stand up and then walks to the left. She then saw something laying on its side on the ground which was 10 inches away. She walked towards it and noticed that it was Applejack who had her eyes closed and wasn't moving. Fluttershy felt worried and concerned for Applejack. Fluttershy leaned down and left up her right hand to place her two front fingers hear Applejack's neck. Fluttershy was behind Applejack and Applejack was facing straight up. Fluttershy couldn't feel anything from Applejack and realized that she's dead. So she decided to leave Applejack there and go on her own way. She even stepped over Applejack with her legs.

"I'm not sure what this thing did to Applejack but I do know that I'm the only one who can stop it but how?" whispered Fluttershy to herself

Fluttershy then heard sounds from grasshoppers all around her in grass. She stands on a road with grass on the sides. She then hears a loud roar that's 30 inches away from behind Fluttershy. She saw a dark-blue car next to her on left side, walked quickly towards it, ducked down from right side of the car, and crawled under the car. She moved her legs under the car until nothing was sticking out. She tries to stay calm and then heard a loud foot steps. The creature charged toward the grass on left side of the dark-blue car and started stomping on the grasshoppers. It then heard grasshoppers from other side, so it charged towards it, and kept stomping around the grass until there was no sound. It then walked same direction that the dark-blue car was facing which was North. Fluttershy had tears running down on her cheeks due to seeing grasshoppers been killed.

"You monster," said Fluttershy to herself in mind
