My Little Scream

It was a peaceful night in the town of Ponyville and Nightmare Night is coming again, The decorations have been set up and Pinkie has invited everypony in town to a special Nightmare Night party, but for now the whole town was asleep after another long day of preparing, except for the faint noises coming from a tree house in the middle of Sweet Apple Acres.

"So what do y'all want to do now?" the yellow filly asked

They were having a sleepover and they had done everything they could think of, like playing truth or dare, having a nice conversation, and etc,but it was just barely 1:00, and they weren't tired yet.

"I don't know, we already played some games, talked for awhile, and stuffed ourselves with food after Scootaloo made the dare." Sweetie said

"Don't remind me." Apple Bloom said

"It was still pretty easy to laugh at how much you fit in there." Scootaloo said

"I nearly chocked myself to death." Apple Bloom said

"We still helped you get them out."

"Either way, you wouldn't have chocked if you hadn't put so many apples in your mouth."

"The dare was to see how many apples we could fit in our mouths

"Girls, now is not the time to be fighting, we need to think of something to do." Sweetie interpreted

"I have an idea." Scootaloo said

"What is it." the other two fillies said

"We should tell ghost stories."

"Are you sure y'all want to do that." Apple Bloom said

"Why?" Scootaloo said

"You're to much of a chicken to even listen to ours." Apple Bloom chuckled

"Am not!"

"Am to."

"Am not!"

"Am to."

There was a faint rustling coming from outside the tree house. They thought it might be Applejack again, but she said she would go to bed around 8:00 and she hadn't come back after that.

Suddenly a letter got chucked through the window and Sweetie proceeded to pick it up

Hello it said

Shivers ran down Sweetie's spine when she read the note. It wasn't particularly frightening to find a letter that was chucked in from the window in the middle of the night, and why was somepony throwing letters at them.

"What does it say?" Scootaloo asked.

"It just says hello." Sweetie said.

"Creepy." the other two fillies said.

"I think it wants us to answer." Sweetie said

"I don't think that-"

Apple Bloom was cut off when Sweetie screamed hello. Just as that happened another letter came soaring in. Sweetie gave a sly grin to Apple Bloom and opened the letter the soared in.

What are three fillies doing up this late at night?

"We're having a sleepover." Scootaloo answered

As fast as she said it another letter came flying in.

Oh, that sounds nice, do you mind if I join you on this wonderful night?

"That is going a bit to far." Apple Bloom said

"No." Sweetie said out the window

The letter flew in faster than the expected and it landed farther than the others as if the pony they were talking to threw it with more force.

But why, we're all friends aren't we.

"Still no." Scootaloo said

Another flew in

Let me in

"NO." Apple Bloom screamed out the window "Now what do you want?!"

The letter flew in

I want to see what your insides look like. another note said after they opened it up

"W-what." the three fillies said in union.

Let me in

"No." Sweetie said shaking. "Where are you?"

I'm outside of the door

After that last letter came in, there was a pounding at the door. The CMC by now were frozen in place. The pounding at the door was getting louder and louder until it abruptly stopped

"Do you think it's gone." Scootaloo asked in a low whisper

"I think so." Apple Bloom said

All of a sudden a knife was plunged into the door. The knife was continuously plunged into the door until a hole large enough to fit a hoof in was made. It was then the CMC saw the face of the monster trying to get in. It looked like a white mask the had a long cylindrical mouth and eyes and the rest of it's body seemed to be covered in a black cloak. It stuck it hoof in and reached for the doorknob. With that the CMC all jumped out of the window. The got up as fast as they could and the cloaked figure started going down the stairs. The three fillies started galloping towards the house where the rest of the Apple Family was sleeping, then they could get help from Applejack and Big Mac. The cloaked figure was slowly catching up to, the knife in it's hoof. The cloaked figure was now catching up to Apple Bloom. All of a sudden, the knife was thrown at the yellow filly. It flew right into Apple Bloom's flank. She cried out in pain, blood was no pouring from where the knife hit her, and every move she made, there was more pain, but she kept running in a full gallop.

They were nearly at the house when Apple Bloom was starting to slow down. The cloaked figure was still keeping up with them, but it slowed down when Apple Bloom stopped and fell to the ground. The cloaked figure pulled the knife out of Apple Bloom's flank, picked her up, and slit her throat. Apple Bloom tried to scream, but all the blood in her mouth made it a muted gurgle. The cloaked figure set her down to the ground. Apple Blooms slowly looked up at the figure with her eyes half open. The figure was staring back at her, Apple Bloom gave another gurgle and the figure placed its hoof to her mouth, which was now pouring with blood.

"Shh." the cloaked figure said in an all to familiar voice. "It'll be fine."

Apple Bloom gave one final gurgle as life finally escaped her body. She didn't have to suffer anymore. The cloaked figure closed her eyes and started following the other two fillies. By now they had made it to the house and were now pounding on the door. Sweetie could see the cloaked figure in the distance coming up fast.

"It's coming closer, pound harder Scootaloo!"

"I'm pounding as hard as I can."

The figure was now a couple feet away from them and now they were backed up into the door. With the knife raised, the figure got closer as it was about to murder them.

The Next Morning

The door to the house opened up and out came a tired looking Applejack.

"Big Mac, I'm going to town to get some stuff. Y'all need anything?"

"Nope." He said from the main room of the house

Applejack turned he head and started to walk to town when she ran into something.

"W-what the ha-" she didn't finish when she noticed that Apple Blooms head was stuck on a wooden stick.

She was silent. All Applejack did was fall to the ground and started to cry.

Big Mac proceeded outside to see what was going on, and he soon started to do what Applejack was doing. All they could do was cry on the ground.

Rarity was in her bed, her sleep mask on she lay there without a care in the world. Then a revolting stench filled he nose and she got up out of bed.

"What is that revolting sme-" She was cut of to find he sister's headless body in the center of the room

She started screaming as loud as she could as tears filled her eyes. She picked up Sweetie's lifeless body and hugged the body as hard as she could. She fell to the ground as she held her sister's body in her arms.

Scootaloo however wasn't dead, she lay in a white padded room in a fetal position, while stroking her tail

Three stallions watched her from behind a window.

"What's her status?" The first stallion asked

"She's mentally unstable." The second stallion said

"Poor kid, I wonder what happened to her." The third stallion said

Scootaloo could hear everything they were saying. After the third stallion finished talking images flashed before her eyes of what happened that night.

She and Sweetie were up against the door, and the cloaked figure. It grabbed Sweetie and put one off it's hooves on one Scootaloo's wings to hold her into place. It held Sweetie against the door it started to saw away at her neck. Blood was pouring out of her neck and it sprayed right on Scootaloo's face, and it didn't take long before it saw completely through her head. It fell to the ground and Scootaloo watched in horror. It then looked straight at Scootaloo, it's stare piercing her soul. Somehow Scootaloo manged to bite down on the leg that was holding her wing, before it grabbed her. She was now again in a full gallop and the cloaked figure had lost her while it was recovering. She then made her way to town and three stallions picked her up and put her in a padded room.

Later that day

The sky was dark and gloomy, it was raining hard on Applejack an Rarity, they were at the Ponyville cemetery mourning the lose of their sisters. They didn't say anything to each other, all they did was stand there and cry.
