Equestrian Horror Story: Hotel Le Trot

Trixie troted down the dark hallway of the fourth floor of the Le Trot on her way to, actually now that she thought about it she wasn't sure where she was going or what she was going to do. She didn't remember leaving the room or what she needed. Ice perhaps? Did this place even have an ice machine?

"Oh well, Trixie will just go back." She said to herself. But as she turned around she froze. She staired in disbelief as there was nothing but pitch black behind her. No lights, no candles, not even the vague outlines of doors or a floor just pitch black nothing.

Trixie gulped. "On second thought perhaps I best just keep going forward." She stuttered as she turned back and proceded on her previous path.

Trixie walked for what felt like hours but the hallway just wouldn't end. She increased her pace and eventually began to run but to her surprise this seemed to just make things worse as before her eyes the hallway seemed to magically stretch even further. This did not detur Trixie however as she kept running, until she tripped over her own hooves and landed flat on her face.

"Owoowww" Trixie moaned as she picked herself up and rubbed her nose and horn.

As she looked back up her eyes became wide and a smile filled her face. As if out of nowhere a break, a turn had finally appeared in the hallway. She trotted toward it and veered left only to find a dead end.

"Oh you have got to be bucking kidding me!" She shouted. Staring at the small space which seemed to consist of a mirror a table & two small chairs.

"Excuse me miss, can you help me?" She heard a soft voice ask.

Trixie looked down and saw a young earth filly staring up at her.

"EYeeaaa!" Trixie screeched jumping back at the unexpected surprise.

"Please miss. I'm lost. Won't you help me?" The young filly asked again.

Trixie took a good look at the little pony. She did'nt look dangerous. A dark blue coat with a soft golden mane and a cutie mark of some kind of flower. She could'nt be more then 8, maybe 10 years old.

Trixie composed herself and responded. "Um, wh-what are you doing here all by yourself? Where are your parents? Your friends?"

"I don't rightly know miss. I just, i've been lost and I can't find anypony else. Can you help me?" The young filly asked once more.

Trixie thought it over for a few seconds and decided that it would be better to have somepony else walking in this creepy hotel with her rather than continue to walk alone. And it would be kind of a jerk move to abandon a scared child.

"OK, Trixie will help you little.... um...?"

"Moonflower, my name is Moonflower m'am."

"Well little Moonflower, you just stick with Trixie and she is sure we will find whomever you are looking for!"

"Oh thank you m'am!" Moonflower smiled hoping next to Trixie as she began to walk back towards the main hall. To Trixie's surprise however it seems the hall had changed yet again. Now it was the path forward that was blocked by a pitch black emptyness and the way she had come from once again restored! Hallway, lights, doors & all.

"Maybe if we look in these doors we might find somepony miss."

"Um, maybe." Trixie stammered.

Trixie walked up to the first door on the left and opened it. She looked inside and just saw a dim light, a single lamp was lit and there seemed to be a lone stallion in the room crying.

"Um, sir? Are, are you ok?" Trixie asked.

Suddenly the stallion turned around his face bright red with nothing but anger & hatred glowing in his eyes.

"GO AWAY!" He shouted as the door turned bright red and slammed shut in Trixie's face.

"OK, grumpy much." Trixie huffed.

"How about this one miss?" Moonflower asked pointing to the door behind her.

"Sure, why not!" Trixie replied rolling her eyes. As she opened the door she paused for abit she didn't really feel like getting yelled at again. But then she looked down at Moonflower's sad eyes and just sighed and opened it anyway.

Trixie's entire body went cold as she looked in the room and saw three pony skeletons and a swarm of Flyders buzzing around above. She quickly slamned the door shut.
"Nope, nope, nope, nope" she repeated as she trotted off Moonflower closely trailing behind.

Each door they tried was more disturbing than the last. A Griffon pecking out a pony's eyeballs, a Zebra sacrificing a cute little bunny in some horrible archaic blood ritual, A yak trampling a poor crystal pony to death and worst of all a ventriliquest dummy turning on its master and shoving its hand up their bum like the pony was the dummy! OK maybe that last one was kind of funny but still pretty messed up. Trixie eventually decided to give up on opening doors and just decided to trot down the hall until something else came up. But as she did she noticed Moonflower became more & more disgruntled.

"Ugg! This is getting us nowhere! Are you gonna help me find my friend or not!?" The filly huffed.

"Hey, Trixie is trying her best!" She snapped back at the foal.

"Well your best sucks!" The filly retorted.

"Yeah well, I bet your friend abandoned you because you're such a brat!" Trixie sneered.

"That, that's not true! Thats not true!" Moonflower began to sob. "Gold Key would'nt do that!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean....wait... Gold Key? The hotel owner, but he!?" Before Trixie could finish a cold wind seemed to blow out of nowhere. Trixie shivered and turned around to see it, the ghost from the other night, with its head attatched this time, but every other feature still the same. Its dead black glowing eyes, its sharp teeth and a maniacal meanicing screech of a laugh.

"RUN!" Trixie shouted as she picked-up Moonflower tossed the filly on her back and did a 180 to run back as far away from that thing as fast as ponily possible!

Trixie ran as fast as she could doing her best to not look back unless she felt it was absolutly necessary, as each time she did she saw the ghostly mare was still right behind her. Before she could turn her head back the last time however she heard Moonflower shout "Look out!" But it was too late as the ponies fell into a deep seemingly endless pit of darkness.

"Uuuggg, wha-what happened?" Trixie asked, looking around, her eyes adjusting to the world around her and when her senses fully returned she froze in horror. She looked at the room in disgust. A dungeon with blood soaked walls and an alter in the center no doubt used for demonic rituals.

"Help!" She heard a voice scream from across the room. Looking quickly in that direction she saw Moonflower chained to the wall, screaming & panicing. Trixie reacted out of instinct trying to run to Moonflower but something was holding her back, she quickly noticed that she too was in chains. Trixie tried to use all the strength she had left to break the chains but it was of no use. All she could do was listen to the poor filly sob and scream for help, that is until she started screaming in terror. Trixie looked at Moonflower and saw the unbridled and primal fear in her eyes, she was staring at the alter. Trixie turned her head and saw in kind the same terror, doing her best not to scream herself.

At the alter stood what Trixie could only describe as an abomination. A bipedal creature, not all that different from those Q-Menz or whatever they were called that Starlight had told her about. But this one had no features, no mouth, no nose, no eyes or ears, it was just a pitch black sillouette with spikes protruding from its body and blood dripping from a crease in the middle of where its face should be. The beast walked towards Moonflower and as it did the crease widened and revealed 4 slits that opened into a disgusting mouth simmilar to that of a giant pongolian death worm. Its hands stretched revealing claws, its nails on its feet grew ever sharper as it approached the filly.

"No! You, you stop right there you monster! You demon! You leave that child alone!" Trixie screamed.

The beast stopped, it turned its head. And in a low raspy voice it muttered.

"One of All"
"One of All"
"One of All"

"What, does that even mean!?" Trixie shrieked.

The beast just slowly limped towards Trixie, raising its hand and preparing to slash her. Trixie's eyes widended as she knew there was no escaping what was about to come.

"ONE OF ALL!" The beast screamed as it slashed its claws against Trixie's face

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Trixie screamed as she rose up and quickly opened her eyes. To her surprise she found herself back in her hotel room. She quickly looked at the clock on the nightstand and saw it flashing 2:25 A.M.

"Sweet Luna's Flank, not again!" She huffed as she began to sob. All of a sudden she felt two hooves embrace her and she saw Starlight no doubt awakened by her outburst tightly hugging her. She looked in Starlight's eyes expecting to see anger, afterall this is the second night in a row she had woken her up. Instead however all she saw was concern. Trixie began to sob even more furiously and buried herself in her marefriends fur. She knew Starlight would probably chew her out for the abrupt interruption to her sleep in the morning, but for now she was just glad to be safe in her marefriends arms.
