Fluttershy

It was a night like any other for the shy and timid butter colored pegasus. She had gotten herself comfy in her favorite chair, she had a nice cup of tea on the table beside her and a novel in her hands. The new one she and her animal friends had recently started in fact. She was taking a small bit of time now after they had all gone to sleep, to read through the next chapter so she could discuss it with them at their next book club meeting the following day.

"I think they will like tomorrows chapter, this book is quite good" She says softly to herself as she puts it down for a moment to reach for her tea. As she grips the cup in her hoof though, a sudden sound from outside her cabin startles her making her drop her tea, spilling it on the floor though the cup manages to not break from the impact. "Oh you silly mare. Look what you have gone and done now"

With a soft sigh she gets up quietly walking to her kitchen to retrieve a towel as not to disturb any of the animals sleeping around the house. As she returns from the kitchen and begins to clean up the spilled tea she suddenly has the strangest feeling of being watched by somepony. At first she ignores it and continues to clean but by the time she is finished and has collected her cup from the floor, the feeling has only grown stronger, making her usually warm and cozy cabin feel unusually small and suffocating to her.

"He..Hello? Is somepony there?" she squeaks out quietly to the otherwise empty room. No response comes to her question and so she tries to once again shake off the feeling of being watched before making her way once more back to the kitchen. As she is setting her cup into her sink though there is a bang from the other room and she goes rushing back out only to see through her front window, two wide, red eyes staring into her home. For several moments she just stands there frozen, staring into those glowing red eyes in her window before the slowly seem to vanish back into the darkness of the night.

"Wh..what was that.." She asks herself, once her mind has started to function again. She slowly makes her way over to the window peering out it into the darkness of the night.

BANG. Fluttershy jumps as something runs into one of the other windows of her house, her wings jerking open from the surprise. BANG. She screams as the window she is still near gets hit next, letting out a bleat as she falls over. After a few moments she manages to get herself up only to stare in horror as something hits her window again. Her wings snap up over her head and face to protect her. Fractions of a second later she can feel shards of glass peppering her wings and chest as she hears the window break, only for something to collide head on with her which she doesn't see coming with her wings covering her face, rendering her unconscious from the hit.

The first thing Fluttershy could feel was a pair of big strong paws around her her first thoughts being. 'Im alive' and her second being 'why does my head hurt so much' after a few minutes she slowly opens her eyes, only to have to close them against as the light of morning fills them, causing her to squeak and recoil. As she does she feels the paws around her shift a little one moving around her barrel to hold her close to a warm furry body the other one being run through her mane. 'mmm that feels nice' she thinks for a moment before she realizes she knows this feeling and her eyes open again. "Harry"

Fluttershy calls out the name of her bear friend as she looks up into his smiling muzzle. he grunts a few times and she nods "Yeah i think I am okay, my head really hurts though. Do you know what happened Harry?"

Harry grunts and growls a few times and Fluttershy nods along "Somepony you have never seen before came in last night through the window-" she pauses here to look over at it, seeing the glass of the window indeed broken though the shards she expected on the floor had been cleaned up already. "Angel got everyone to get the glass cleaned up, well I will have to give him an extra carrot today."

Harry growls a few more times before pointing of to the kitchen

"Wait, the pony is still here? Angel got you to move a...lamp.. into the kitchen and its kept the pony there all night?" Flutttershy asks Harry incredulously to which the bear only nods and helps Fluttershy to her feet. After giving herself a quick look over to make sure she wasn't cut by the glass finding a few bandages already covering her wings and chest from the few small cuts she had sustained when the window broke. She smiles at Harry and makes a note to give all of her animal friends something extra today. With that done though and Harry right beside her she goes off into her kitchen.

As she enters her kitchen she immediately notices the lamp on her kitchen table still there glowing away with its light. though she doesn't see anypony else. Turning to harry she goes to ask him, only to see the bear already pointing up at the ceiling.

As Fluttershy turns back around and looks up she is greeted by the sight of a powder blue something that looks a lot like the combination of a moth and a pony. It is somehow sitting on its rump on the ceiling staring down at the lamp on the table with its big red eyes.

"He..hello?" Fluttershy says meekly "Wh..why are you on my ceiling?"

The moth like pony doesn't even acknowledge her just continuing to stare at the lamp upon the table.

"Hello? Can i help you in someway" This time she speaks a little louder as Harry moves forward putting a paw comfortingly upon her back making her feel safer.

This time the Moth like pony turns its head towards her looking at her with its big red eyes though they seem to look right through her as if it was in some kind of trance of daze, though it does utter a single word. "Lammmpppp"
