The moon shines bright at night in Canterlot City. Parents tucking their kids to sleep, people with jobs working over night, people drinking beer, hanging out at the night club to hook up with strangers, some were doing drugs, and some were staying up all night. You can hear cars beeping at night because of traffic, dogs barking for some reasons, men singing at the street sounding like they were drunk and shit, Women laughing at the conversations that they had shared while going home, and moaning. . . yes. . . . some couples were having sex.

It was normal here at Canterlot City, but when the clock hits at midnight. . . secure your house, put a sheep's blood at your doors and windows (If you don't have a sheep you can use chocolate as substitute), a crucifix at your room, and be sure you are in your house before midnight. Because if you don't . . . . Well lets just see if you don't do what I had said. Don't say I didn't warn ya. Oh shit I think I heard a howl!. I gotta get out of here!, *Grabs you* run as fast as you can!, if you know 7 girls that goes to a public school find them and tell them about The Red Beast!.


A man was walking home after his overnight work at the his job, He yawned as he walk home to be with his family. He had passed by some group of men looking drunk as hell, people smoking as he covered his nose, he even heard noises from the alley. He assumed that some people like to have sex in public. He checked his watch to see it was 12:00 am, he saw a cab and called it. When he entered the cab he told his address and the cab started to move. They both were listening to the late night radio music to kill the time. The man saw the moon's color had slowly change to the color of a human's blood.

"Its starting now huh".

"What do you mean?".

"Have you ever heard of The red beast?".

The man looked at the driver confused of what he said.

"No, why?".

"That fucker always shows up at this time around, I'm surprised it isn't here".

"Huh?".

"Didn't you see the news yesterday?".

"No, I was running late from work. I don't wanna get scolded by my boss again".

"That sucks. Anyway, Police had discovered a body near the alley".

"What body?".

"It was a body of a girl".

The man was scared. He had then remembered his only daughter, he was glad that he told her that she needs to be home before dinner starts. But then again, it really scared him when he heard this news coming from the the taxi driver.

"Are you okay?".

"Yeah. . . just remembered my little girl".

"You're lucky that your daughter is safe".

"Of course I am, why?".

"The body they found. . . was the body of my daughter".

"Oh good lord, what was your daughter's name?".

"Her name was-".

Then all of a sudden, a loud thud was heard from the top of the car and when they heard its voice, They got scared. It was the "The Red Beast". It howled and it made them nervous, The roof of the car started to break by the strength of the red beast. The 2 men got out of the car and started to run while screaming for help, The man looked back at the driver who was calling for help. But then, he saw the red beast jumped at his back at started to tear him up and eating him up alive. The man continued to run as fast as he can while hearing the scream of agony of the taxi driver. He was scared, he heard the beast had howled again and it only made him more scared, he opened his phone and started to call the police.

When he was about to dial the number, he got pounced by the beast and it was looking at him while it was growling. He was praying silently, he wasn't ready to die. He had a family to take care of and he doesn't want to die because of this beast, he closed his eyes and braced himself. Nothing had happened, he opened his eyes to see the full image of the beast while the moon had shined more brightly to see its features .

It wasn't like a wolf that walks on 4 legs, it was like a human figure. Red skin, dark red and yellow hair with wolf ears, a fluffy tale, sharp teeth, and the eyes for dark aqua. It was looking at him with empathy and the man was shocked when the beast did its next move. It whimpered and ran off. He watched at the wolf had jumped really high and vanished. He was confused of what had happened, he had taken his time to process everything.

Strange. . . it suddenly showed empathy to me. Shit I'm late!

The man stood up and ran home while he can feel his heat beating fast. An hour has passed, he opened the door with his spared key and entered the house before locking it again. He smiled when he saw his wife sleeping at the couch, he puts his bag down and went up to his wife to kiss her forehead. He carried his wife bridal style and went to their bedroom, when he had entered the bedroom he puts his wife down and locked the door. He took off this work clothes to replace it with his pajamas.

"Nighty?".

The man smiled when he heard his wife's voice. He laid down in bed and kissed her on the lips and pulled her into his embrace. The woman smiled and wrap her arms around her husband.

"Go back to sleep Velvet".

"But you just got here".

"Come on now sweetheart, you didn't have to stay up for me".

"I wanted to".

"Well that's sweet, I got the day off tomorrow. Which means-".

"We both get to have some time alone together?".

"*chuckles* Yeah".

"I love you Nightlight".

"I love you too sweetheart".

Nightlight watched as his wife closed her eyes and went to sleep in his arms. He was still thinking about that beast, he had so many questions in his head that he couldn't sleep.

Why didn't that beast attacked me?, It showed empathy to me all of a sudden . . . It's like it knows who I am. But that wolf looks like a girl. . . Come on Night, you have a family to worry about other than this red beast crap

He kissed his wife on her cheek and went to sleep with a smile on his face. He felt that Velvet had snuggled more in his embrace that made his heart melt with affection.
