Location Ponyville

Time 7:42 A.M

I hate these damn carriages. The flight was smooth this time but it doesn't change the fact that if you lean over the side you'll become a puddle. At least the mare's pulling it aren't messing with me again, whether is it was Celestia who told them to stop or because of Misty. I look over to see Misty spreading her wings out and Swift smiling at her. I really need to learn more about ponies since I have no idea if Swift should be flying at her age.

"Ponyville is sure quaint isn't it?" Swift say's looking down at ponyville. I nod my head at her and look down at it to. We're almost to the Twilight's library, which of course is a tree filled with paper books. Why is that a thing, I don't know but I see Pinkie leaving that gingerbread house. Pinkie stops suddenly and looks up and waves at us. I wave back as we fly over.

I start tracing the forest as we start to fly out of town. It's going to be my patrol area soon and I can't help but to feel anxious. You can hardly see into it from the outside and the way it gives off this foreboding presence is not helping my anxiety. Thick green canopy, vines hanging off trees, sharp pointy foliage, and to top it all off filled with creatures that can destroy whole cities. The monsters and creatures I'm not worried about. The wasteland already prepared me for dealing with things that wont die. The tight close quarters is what will cause a problem for me. Most of the desert wasteland is open, perfect for us rangers with rifles. The revolver is good to for out in the open. Six shots isn't going to be the best for me in there. Only if I had a 10mm or a shotgun with slugs. Hell I'll take a laser or a plasma rifle despite having no knowledge in how to use them. My thoughts are interrupted by a sudden jerk.

"Woah! It's huge!" I hear Misty say as I look up at mansion and well it is big. The yard is surrounded by an iron fence and well the landscaping is just overgrown grass. No trees, bushes, or flowers which makes sense since this was an outpost. The house itself was made out of wood a was a worn black with white trimmings. From what Celestia told me it was two story with a basement. Looking at the front I can see six windows on the ground floor, three on each side of the door and seven up top. "We get to live in it?" Misty asks me.

"Yeah we do but it's going to take some work before it'll be pleasant to live in." I say as we grab our bags and head off towards the front door. When I walk pass the guards I scratched behind her ear. She leaned into my hand and blushed. I stop scratching her ear and walk up with every one else. I take a quick glance back to see she has a pout on her face. Hey a little revenge is a good thing. Swift and Misty walk in with out me. I quickly walk in to see the entrance room, It's the typical style entrance room with stairs at the end but there's really nothing here.

"Well it's not that bad with dust and the spiders haven't really gotten to anything." I hear Swift saying from the right which seems to be the dinning room and kitchen. "Plus with the supplies Celestia is sending over it wont be that bad to clean this place up." Swift mumbles to herself. Misty takes a turn to the left and disappears into to the doorway. Okay I'm just going to follow Misty like a lost puppy since Swift is in clean mode and I know better than to get into some ones way.

I walk through the door when suddenly hairy legs land onto one of my lenses. "JESUS! GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF!" I yell as I start swatting at the demon with my hand. My eyes are closed but I felt that I hit it so I quickly open my eyes and aim my revolver at it. The foul demon is lying limp on the floor but I pull the hammer back to put a bullet in it to make sure it's dead.

"HA HA HA!" Misty is on her back laughing. I look up at her to see that we're in a big living room with a bathroom and office on the left and study room in the back. "That was way to funny." Misty laughs out as she stands back up and flops onto a black couch. I step on the demon and walk into the office. The office has a few wood filing cabinets and a nice desk in it. So I have a felling that this house has not much in it. A quick check of the study room confirms that. A single red armchair and empty book cases. Misty gets control of herself and walks into the bathroom with me. It's rustic to say the least. Counter with sink, toilet, and tub with old timely pipes.

"Hey you two. I'm to afraid to go up stairs by myself. Will you both accompany me?" I hear Swift say. We head to her and she leads the charge upstairs.Theirs double doors in front of us and a hall way to the left and right. So master bedroom and others. I open the door to the master bedroom and well it's huge. Big fancy bathroom nice, closet, big fancy bed.Makes sense since it is technically owned by the princesses. Must of been a vacation home. A quick check in the halls confirms that there's three rooms on each side with a bathroom. So in total seven rooms and four bathrooms, that has almost nothing in them. So it's no surprise that Swift has us in the main room going over what we need.

"So I'll head out and go get food while you two get clean sheets and pillows for today." Swift say's as she puts on her saddle bags. "We just have to get through tonight and then the princesses will help us out. So good luck everypony." Swift says as she leaves the house. I look at Misty to see that she is looking at me with a look of dread.

I kneel down and pet her, "Yeah this is going to be an adventure." I say grimly. This is going to be a rough week.

Whelp old creepy houses are fun am I right? Full of spiders and possibly a ghost or two.
