Icky

I sat completly still. I didn't dare to move a single muscle or the beast infront of me might get... ideas.

A table that reeked of rotten fish seperated us. A single, meek little table, slowly decaying. No I mean it, the table was litterally crumbeling away right infront of me. Slowly falling apart, soon making the distance

between me and the drooling beast nonexistant.

"What are you going to do... with me?"

I asked in a shaky voice, damn nerves. But I guess anyone would be afraid... or terrified if they where in the situation like I was.

The question seemed to amuse the twisted beast, hence the cruel crackeling laughter. It made him drool even more, thick saliva drops running between his razor sharp fangs down to his horselike chin. Dripping down on the inpenetrable black floor.

This... this creature, whatever it was, was truly evil. The hatred was practically fuming from his sickly looking form.

He nodded and looked me in the eye, I shiverd.

"Yes, what am I going to do to you?"

He spoke his words in a tone that would make even the hardest to minded alicorn crumble to their knees. It made me nauseaus.

My wings are tightly tucked to my back and my small white ears almost hidden in my wild pink mane. I'm sure I look like a scared little chicken.

"Oh, nothing reaaaally..." He gave me another long look, his tounge slitherd out inbetween the glisterning fangs, whipping just like a snakes when tasting the air. Only that this tounge is a little bit more wet, saliva rained over me. Eww, gross! I closed my eyes and leaned back slightly.

And as fast as the beasts tounge was out, it was in again, carefully layed between sharp fangs.

I swallowed down a hard ball of snot.

"I just wanted to warn you. Leave my sandcastles alone."

W-what? Leave his sandcastles? I live in a castle yes, but it's not made of sand. Sure, stone is solified sand but it's not... sand!

I gave the creature a confused look. He sighed, flexed his muscles a bit, stretching out.

"S-sand castle?" My left eye twitched.

"You and your little other friends are in my sandbox and that's okay! But not when you're tampering with my toys and messing up my sandcastles, little princess." He said, pointing an accusing claw in my face.

Another shiver ran down my spine. I'm in the danger zone.

Although, I'm still not so sure what he means.

"Do you understand me, little princess?" He now growled at me, fangs bared. Ready to dig into my soft flesh and preying on my innocent body.

"Y-yes.." I whisperd meakly. Where is mom? Where is dad? Luna? Oh help me... Please somepony help me.

I shut my eyes.

"Good." I jumped, the slicky creature had stretched his neck so his head were now at my left, returning the whisper in my ear.

I then felt something really warm, wet,soft with a very preculiar texture stretching around my whole head. It stench was foul, making it hard to breath. Opening my eyes and lighting my horn just a bit showed me... that I was staring straight down the creatures throat.

I began panicking, fighting for my life. Adrenaline pumping in my veins. But for some reason, the more I faught the more I could feel him devour me, pushing me down his throat.

The snake tounge is rapidly tasting my body, running up and down. From my head to my hindlegs. I was kicking, flapping with my wings, throwing around my head and blasting magic. But the soft gums weren't even skratched. Nothing helped!

He then lifted his head into the air and swallowed. No. Nononononono!! This can't be happening. It just can't!

Powerful throat muscles slowly began squeezing me down. Down to his gullet. I'm not going to let this happen, I'm not! I tried kicking again, blasting more magic. Yet again, my tries were fruitless.

I couldn't breathe. The monsters throat muscles are going to squash the life out of me. Giving me a hard massage down down down.

My front legs felt a little more free now. I was almost fully down.

And with a splash I glide in. It is so hot in here. Like being within a volcano. This is so dissturbing. So sick! It just can't be happening!

I tried yet again to fight myself out. I could hear the beasts heart pounding. Throwing myself onto the soft walls around me, only to bounce back with a splat, shaking the whole interior of the gullet. I can hear the beast chuckle. I need to get out. Now! The stench is even more foul down here, it feels like I'm going to throw up.

My legs! They're frozen. Why can't I move? It's like they're tangled into something invincible. My heart is racing, I can smell the digestive fluids kicking in. Stomace walls are now massaging me.

This isn't... This can't be real! I need to wake up! This has to be a dream. Close your eyes Celestia, and WAKE UP!

My eyes shot open and I quickly rose from my bed, only to fall down to the floor to find my cloths wrapped tightly around my legs. My heart is racing and I am completly soaked in sweat.

I'm home. Home! It was just a dream. A horrible horrible dream. That creature isn't real and he's not going to snack on this princess. I laugh, so relived that it all just was a dream.

My own laughter was interupped by another, much darker one. It feels like my heart just stopped beating.

"Remember what I said little princess, you've been warned..." The chuckle echoing in my bedrooms stone wall.

I quickly untangled my legs, kicked my door open and ran down the great hallway.

"Mom!! Daaad!!" I cried. Tears streaming like a flood down my cheeks.

I burst through their bedroom door and threw myself onto their kingsized bed crying loudly.

My mother was the one who woke up first, a bit groggy but still able to take me into a warm comforting embrace, hushing softly.

"It's okay, it's okay..." She whisperd.

I never want to sleep again.
