"Are you sure about this?" Pinkie Pie asked, staying down low and taking in every little detail she possibly could.
"Look, I've never been in an actual haunted house. Especially not a mansion! I need to know more!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, practically jumping with excitement.

"T-Twilight... I-I don't think this is a g-good id-d-idea." Fluttershy stammered, absolutely terrified.
"Look," Rainbow Dash began. "We all gave you a chance to stay home and you came along anyway."
"I don't want any pony getting hurt."
"Well, it's too late now."

"Guys! It's right there!" Twilight squealed, pointing to it. Out of excitement, she teleported in front of the humongous, ragged, 500-year-old mansion.
"Oh my goodness. I've always wanted to go inside one of these!" Twi squealed.
"Twilight? I don't know if it's just me, but I'm getting bad vibes here." Rainbow Dash said, backing up a bit.
"Ah havta agree," Applejack added.
"It looks hideous!" Rarity cried.
"Of course it would. It's been here for 500 years! It's so old and fascinating." Twilight exclaimed, practically bouncing in excitement. Pinkie Pie gulped and shivered.

"I don't find anything fascinating about something so creepy," she commented.
"Come on guys. It'll be fine. And we can stay for as long as we want!" Twilight said, opening the door. She put a hoof inside and gasped.
"Wow." She trotted in and checked out the kitchen since it was the closest room to the entrance.
"This is amazing," she commented before moving on to the living room. Something next to her suddenly began to flash and chime. Fluttershy let out a squeak and grabbed Rarity, practically tackling her to the ground. Rainbow Dash jerked back slightly while Pinkie Pie just straight up grabbed Rainbow's hooves, weighing the pegasus down.

"Oh, sweet Celestia. Thank goodness it's only one of those old motion detectors." Twilight said, letting out a sigh of relief. She picked it up with her magic and it began to chime and flash even faster. Twilight turned it off and inspected it.
"Interesting. I've always wanted to see one of these again," she said, taking a note.
"Has anypony else seen something like this?" she asked, turning toward her friends. Everyone shook their heads and Rainbow Dash shook her hoof, motioning for Pinkie Pie to let go. Pinkie let out a giggle and let go.

"Well, this type is mostly used to detect the motion of ghosts and spirits. It's really sensitive and this type has about a 5 feet radius." Twilight explained.
"I was unfortunate enough to accidentally step into its sensing perimeters and give us all a jump or even a scare."
"Me? Scared? It didn't scare or startle me at all." Rainbow Dash bragged.
"We all saw you jump." Applejack said, rolling her eyes. Twilight turned the little device back on and it began to chime and flash again. She put it back on the table and moved away from its sensing perimeters. It stopped flashing and chiming. She walked over and examined the rest of the living room.

"Guys! It's a bit! From the looks of it, it was probably from 40-50 years ago." Twilight said and took note of that. She continued to look around, checking inside cabinets and drawers, in between couch cushions and under small places, taking notes here and there.

"Um... Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said, staring at what was inside the drawer she had opened.
"What is it?" Twilight asked, not looking up from what she was doing.
"I found a diary. It says 'Rosetta's Diary'." Rainbow said, carefully taking it out. She flipped to the first page with an actual entry and began reading. Though it was slightly difficult. The writing has been aged and so has the pages. The words were fading from the page and some were smeared. Some were even impossible to read and Dash had to guess what it said.

"I think I found out what the first dozen or so sentences say. But it's not good." Rainbow said. She had everypony's attention now. She took a deep breath and began to read.
"Dear Diary. This mansion is not what it seems. This is more than just haunted. Rumor has it that spirits, ghosts, and monsters roam the place at night after the clock chimes. Blood is spilled. Screams travel through the hallways. Flesh and breaking bones can be heard. Remains are never found by those who enter, unaware of what happened, for you cannot see any that has happened to those who enter until the bell chimes. Only then can you see the crimson red and spirits. Even the screams and chaos of those that died here are sometimes heard."

"The monsters that roam only kill in the dead of night, when no light from outside can be seen. Those who die leave behind roaming ghosts and spirits that leave to haunt somewhere else or even stay to help and cause more fear in the target(s). They all see by using fear and sound. Most of the monsters here are blind, but are more dangerous than anything else possible to ponykind in every way possible."
Rainbow Dash looked up, completely unaffected by this, as everyone was staring in horror.
"And no one is ever seen going out ever again."

Twilight frantically looked around and turned towards the doorway.
"We need to try and leave! and quick!" she cried. All six ponies headed for the doorway, but the door suddenly vanished, cause everypony below to crash into each other or the wall. Rainbow Dash was able to stop in time and she looked around, taking in all of her surroundings and little details as quickly as possible, and remembered what the outside looked like. Finally, she realized where they were.

"Twilight? Do you realize this mansion has a name?" Rainbow asked, turning towards Twilight. Twi shook her head and was about to turn back around, but Rainbow Dash's question had caught her attention.
"Do you know the name and why are you bringing this up now?" she asked, looking at Rainbow.
"I'm bringing this up now because I've heard of this place before. But the last time I ever heard or seen this place was two years ago. This isn't only a haunted mansion. The diary told us all. But it didn't mention the name. Because all who come here will remember the name sooner or later. Only one will know in a whole group. This mansion is called The Death Mansion of No Escape."

"WHAT?!?! Why are you telling us now?!" Twilight shouted, pulling Rainbow Dash out of the air. Dash pushed her away and looked behind her.
"I'll tell you guys later. First, we need to find if there's a way out of here."

Author's Note

This is my first time writing a horror story so once I finish the story, please tell me if I should remove the horror tag. I'm really trying my best here. I have more time on my hands and I currently have more ideas for this than Amnesia (which a lot of people like but doesn't upvote. Thanks a lot =<=) so expect more updates from this than Amnesia. And I will finish this earlier than any of my other work in progress stories.
