The Night of Unusual Frights

Chapter 2, the Beast of Fear and Anger.

Fluttershy ran through the thick of trees, not paying attention to the eagles following above the trees. Her Running was frantic and she breathed heavily, all the while filled with confusion. She then reached near the edge, by another part of the river, and across it was the Everfree forest.

Fluttershy stopped, and slowly looked around the area. Fluttershy held her head for a second as pain still shot through it, and she was variously twitching. She then looked into the river water, and her vision blurred for a second, but she saw something, reflected out of it, something familiar and absolutely horrifying in memory. She froze as it quickly dissipated, but she realized, it directly resembled a beast of which she has had many nightmares of before.

“No! NO! It can't be real!” she squealed holding her head, “No! I have to get out of here, I have to warn the Girls!”

She got ready to start running again, but her two eagles swooped down toward her, and painstakingly tried to get her to leave right then.

“NO!” she yelled in a unusually deep tone, “Go AWAY!” she yelled even louder.

Shocked, the Eagles panicked, and flew towards town at high speed. Fluttershy then realized what she just did, and instantly regretted it.

“Wait, no! Don't go! Why would I be like that?”

Fluttershy then shook her head, still shaking a bit, and was about to head off toward the direction she thought the crusaders were camping.

Suddenly, the trio ran into her direction, and Applebloom said, “Fluttershy! Was that you making that noise?”

Scootaloo quickly retorted “Fluttershy would not be making such a ruckus on her own!”

But before they could continue, Fluttershy ran to then, and hugged them tightly.

“Oh thank goodness you all are alright!”

The trio could instantly tell she was in a state of panic, and noticed her uncontrollable shaking, and frightened look among her face. She had her hair partly untangled, her tail was twitching and slightly mangled, and she had a bruise on her head.

Applebloom replied, “Of course we are alright, what happened to you?

SweetieBelle added “Your acting a bit unusual Fluttershy, what happened?”

Scootaloo implied “Did something attack you?”

Fluttershy became temporally lightheaded again, and shook her head, only to make it hurt worse.

She then stepped back a bit, and said “Girls! There is a monster loose! It has been following me, I know it! We have to get back to town!”

SweetieBelle noticed a, sudden, change in Fluttershy's eyes, that lasted less then a second, but she was unsure of what it was.

Right then Fluttershy was making them hustle toward town by the edge of the river.

“Fluttershy, can you tell us what the 'monster' looked like?” asked Scootaloo.

She thought a second, “I would rather not, it is..”

A sudden big flash of pain hit her head, and she dropped to the ground.

“Fluttershy!!!” yelled the trio.

She looked up, holding her head said, “Get to town! I will be right behind you!”

Fluttershy was shaking drastically, and looked to be in allot of pain.

The three of them saw her in a state of pain, as she was shaking and her head was really hurting now.

“Do you need help?” asked Applebloom

“No!” she replied in a slightly deeper tone, “Just get going! NOW!!!”

This sent the girls frantically heading toward town without question.

---------------------at the edge of town---------------------

Twilight and Pinkie Pie bye not got to the path out of town near the river. Pinkie was able to lead them in the general direction of were this 'dousy' was going to happen.

“Well,” said Twilight, “at least it is not the Everfree..”

Pinkie replied, “I wonder if this dousy is a big surprise for us! That would be fun."

Twilight replied back, “As long as it is not a huge emergency, but, that is why we are checking this out.”

Before they went on, Applejack came toward them, looking a bit ticked off.

“What are you doing out here?” asked Twilight.

“Well, I asked Fluttershy to watch my sister and her friends, because big mack said there was an emergency. But, it was just some prank...”

Rainbow dash then landed next to her, “Don't take it to hard! I have got everypony 6 or more times already, and you have to admit it was funny.”

“Yea,” chuckled Applejack, “Hey, what are you and pinkie doing her Twi?”

Twilight was about to reply, but the Pinkie Pie shuttered very noticeably.

“oh, pinkie sense.” Applejack answered to herself.

Pinkie replied, “Yea, we are heading out this way, there is something BIG that's going to happen!”

Applejack then realized she was pointing in the direction her sister was camping.

“Wait! Oh no! Applebloom and her friends are camping out that way!” said Applejack.

Rainbow Dash then butted in, “Well then, let's go stop this 'thing' from happening, been awhile since something really exciting has happened.”

Twilight winced at that remark, minding that excitement seams to plague her and her friends.

Right then Applejack quickly went off running down the small path, Rainbow dash followed above, and Twilight and pinkie ran after them.

In about a minute of running, The group ran right into the frightened Cutie Mark Crusaders.

“Applejack!” said Applebloom as she ran into her sister.

“Girls! Your all alright!” said Applejack, “what happened? Why are you running?!”

“Fluttershy warned about a, beast, She told us to get to town as fast as possible!” replied Applebloom

“Yea!” said Sweetie Belle, “Wait, were did she go! She said she would be right behind us!”

“She never followed us after she stopped!” said Scootaloo.

Applejack was Double checking her sister before she heard what they were saying.

“Wait? Fluttershy is in trouble?” asked Rainbow Dash

“I think so!” replied Scootaloo. "She said she would be right behind us, but she vanished!"

This hit Rainbow Dash with a bit of shock, and she suddenly seamed more on task about the situation, “We have to go help her!”

Twilight stopped Rainbow Dash before she zoomed away, and said, “We better think about this, what all do we have?”

Applejack replied, “I got my rope.”

Pinkie Answered “umm, I got nothing but my Pinkie Sen-” And she was cut off bye another, even more drastic shutter.

Suddenly, another voice came into the conversation, “I have got my fashionable first aid bag.”

“Rarity!” yelled SweetieBelle, “What are you doing here?”

Rarity replied “Twilights owl would not let me be to sleep, so generally, I chased after him here.”

Right then, Owlowiscious landed in a tree next to them, with the same two eagles that were bye Fluttershy before.

“Owlowiscious? What are you doing here?” asked Twilight.

Owlowiscious Woo'd in reply, and dropped a small piece of writing next to her. Twilight Picked it up, and it read:

The beast of fear and anger, little to nothing has been recorded of it, until now. I have come into contact with one, and studied it up close. But most importantly, follow these tips of knowledge. It will only show up on nights of a half moon, it will feel only anger onto things, and it will direct anger at the ones who fear the most for it...

The page was cut off from that point, and it was very old.

Twilight quickly said, “I think Owlowiscious knows something, this paper talks of something I have not heard of before! And it seams like that creature could cause allot of mayhem, I will need to study this more to find out...”

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash interrupted her, and said, “Oh no! We need to find Fluttershy!”

Twilight only then noticed Rainbow had read it over her shoulder, as now she was zooming in the Direction the Crusaders came from.

"I better keep this safe, everyone get going!" said Twilight as she put away the piece of manuscript, and ran after Rainbow Dash.

Applejack turned to the trio of filly's, “You girls get back to Rarity's place and lock the door behind you!”

Applebloom replied, “But what about..”

“We will be fine, We need to make sure Fluttershy is alright. So go, and don't risk following us, this may get intense...”
