Petunia Pedals' Nightmare
Petunia Pedals' Nightmare
Petunia Pedals was trotting up the stairs to her bedroom. She was very tired after her college course that day and needed some rest. Though she had been having some very gruesome nightmares for a couple weeks now. She hoped to have some well needed sleep tonight. As the light pink unicorn got to her bedroom, she flopped on her bed, her purple mane getting into her green eyes, but she lazily brushed it out of her face, and went to sleep.
When she opened her eyes, she was in a totally different world. The ground was brown, and dead trees littered the area. A bat flew by, along with a dragon, into the blood red sky.
"No, this can't be happening. Not, again." She said to herself, her hooves holding her head. She wanted to, no, NEEDED to get out of there. She searched desperately for a way out of this damned place, when all of a sudden, a mare appeared at her side. She was a bat pony, and her coat was brown, while her mane was a darker shade of brown with lighter brown streaks. She had magnificent blue eyes. Well, ONE magnificent blue eye. Her right eye was covered by a purple eyepatch, which was mostly hidden by her mane. One of her wings was bandaged up, most likely from a fight she got in.
"Hey, why so scared? There is nothing to be scared of." Said the mare. Petunia was not even close to calming down. This didn't feel right at all. She looked like she was, hungry.
"Ya know, it's kinda hard to find blood in these parts. But it's a good thing you dropped by, right?" She said sinisterly. Petunia got to her senses, and galloped out of there as quickly as she could.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" Shouted the mare. But Petunia paid no mind to her. She had to get out of there. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she could see a lavender unicorn wearing a lab coat that is covered in blood. Her horn lit up, and before she knew it, Petunia was surrounded by a hot pink aura and was dragged closer to the unicorn. Her mane was a dark blue with pink and purple streaks, and it was a mess. Her purple eyes were crazed and were staring at her.
"Hello." Said the crazed unicorn. "I was just looking for some pony to be my next experiment. You look like the perfect guinea pig." Then the bat pony mare joined in.
"Hey, can you save some of her blood for me? I'm really hungry."
"Sure thing, Lunardust!" Huh, so that's what her name was. But Petunia didn't care. She needed to escape both the unicorn and the bat pony. Suddenly, she got a rush of adrenaline and punched the lavender unicorn in the muzzle, causing her to break her telekinetic grip. Then, she bucked Lunardust and she went flying a few meters. She didn't stick around for long, though. Petunia turned and galloped off before either of them could catch up with her.
She didn't know how long she ran, but she was starting to get tired. But she had to keep running. Or else something else would catch her. Then, she heard singing. It was beautiful. No. Just focus on getting out of here. But it was no use. She found herself drawn to the source of the singing. The singer was what looked like a pony but the bottom half was a fish tail, and she had a fin for her mane. She was yellow and had magenta eyes. Petunia wanted to run, to get away. But she was unable to.
"Come closer, I don't bite." She said. Petunia was paralyzed. She didn't know what to do. She felt trapped. Then, the yellow siren mare went over to her, somehow flying with the fact that she was wingless. She circled around Petunia, looking agitated, and she stayed motionless.
"If you want something done right, then you'll have to do it yourself." Said the siren mare. She was gonna die. Then a noise came from behind them, and it got the siren's attention. Now's her chance! Petunia turned in full gallop and got only a few feet when a decaying hoof shot out of the ground. Then another. Then the head. The zombie had what little left of an aqua green coat with a pink mane. Her empty eye sockets stared straight into her. Petunia wanted to scream but couldn't.
She galloped away as fast as possible. She didn't want to stick around any longer. Petunia was running out of breath, but she kept going. Maybe if she kept running, she could lose them. She found a forest to hide in. It was risky, but she had to take it. She kept galloping between every dead tree until she was in a clearing. When she reached that clearing, she sat down to catch her breath. Just then, she heard some foalish giggling coming from the trees. It sounded like a filly, and Petunia got worried.
"Hello?" She called out. "Little filly? What are you doing out here? It isn't safe." Then, the source of the giggling came out of the trees and revealed herself to Petunia. She wasn't a filly, but a mare! And the strangest thing about her was that she was completely made of candy. The candy mare grinned at her, revealing sharp candy corn teeth.
"Hello! Wanna play?" She said.
"The game I wanna play you might be familiar with. It's called cat and mouse. I'm the cat, and you're the mouse." She as she said that last part, her filly-like voice suddenly sounded demonic. Then, the candy mare lunged at Petunia. But she was able to dodge her. She galloped away, into the dead forest.
"Yay, you want to play!" Shouted the candy mare joyfully behind her. But she kept running. She knew that running is the only thing keeping her alive. When she got out of the dead forest however, she saw another mare in front of her. She seemed like a mix between a bat pony and an alicorn. She had a midnight blue coat, with a dark purple mane with dark pink streaks. Her eyes were red, and her cutie mark was a dark paint brush, with dark green paint dripping from it, intersecting with a black gear. Behind her, was a group of five other ponies. Though, they seemed robotic.
One of them, a bat pony stallion, was standing next to the mare. He had a crimson red coat, with a lighter shade of red coloring his muzzle and going down his neck and under his barrel. He had a darker red mane, and a single gold eye. His right eye was covered by a black eyepatch. And for some reason, his right fore hoof was replaced by a blade of some sort, and some of his teeth were gold, and had a skull and crossbones as a cutie mark.
And next to the bat pony, was a unicorn stallion. His coat was brown and just like the bat pony, he had a lighter shade of brown covering his muzzle, going down his neck, and under his barrel. he had a darker brown mane that was well kept, and was wearing a black top hat. He was also wearing a black bowtie. His eyes were a magnificent blue, and had a microphone for a cutie mark.
And next to him, was another unicorn stallion. But he had a gold color pallet, and had a similar cutie mark and attire as the brown stallion. His eyes, however, were completely black, say for his white pupils.
Opposite of the mare was another mare, though she was a pegasus. She had a yellow coat and a darker yellow mane. She had a cupcake with pink frosting for a cutie mark, and she had purple eyes. There was orange covering her muzzle, but only her muzzle.
And next to her was an earth pony stallion. He had a purple coat, a lighter shade covering the same areas as the other stallions, and had a darker shade of purple mane. He had red eyes, just like the mare standing before Petunia, and had a red electric guitar as a cutie mark.
Then, in a flash of lightning, something else became visible. Puppet strings were attached to the mare in front of her, and the one pulling the strings was an entity that looked like a pony, but it wasn't. It was completely black, with it's hooves and mane fading into a dark blue. It's eyes were the same shade of blue, but they were completely blue, with a blue aura flowing from them. It grinned wickedly at her, revealing it's sharp, black, teeth. Petunia let out a scream.
She jolted up in a cold sweat from her bed. She was panting hard. She needed to see a doctor about these nightmares. Maybe they will come to an end.
