Chapter 2

"Oh Celestia I hope nopony notices I'm late!" He thought as he galloped into the building.

"Your late. Again." a young red mare said impatiently.

"W-what are you doing here?!"

"What do you mean what am I doing here?! You promised to show me the chemistry lab!" Red Blaze's voice was filled with frustration as she shot Blue a very angry look.

"Look I have a lot to get to get done today and I know I promised, but do you think I could show you around some other time?" Blue said trying his best to convince her. There was a bit of an awkward pause before she finally said

"Fine, but you have to promise to show me around next time!"

"Alright, alright I promise." He said relived that she agreed to leave. As he walk in his team of other ponies didn't notice him as he walked by. It was as he had hoped, they were all to busy to pay any attention to him. "Well I had better get started," he thought as he walked up to his station, he had been working on something to cure his nightmares and it was coming along nicely.

A couple hours later somepony's watch started beeping "Hey boss we're going to head out for lunch, do you want to come?" one of the workers asked.

"No that's fine I'll just stay here, but thanks for your offer." Blue said to the worker not even taking the time to turn around. He was alone now, but he didn't mind he preferred it that way. He was working the same way he had been for the last few hours, too deep in thought to notice anything around him. Then out of nowhere "AAAARGGG!" he yelled in pain as his head began to throb "W-what is this?" he said through gritted teeth as his pain became unbearable. A beaker he was floating in the air fell to the ground and shattered, his head hurt too much for him to focus on the magic he was using. The contents of the beaker spilled all over the floor and the fumes from the chemicals were making him lose conciseness as the liquid foamed. He collapsed as he saw the slender pony standing over him, watching him struggle. That was the the last thing he saw before passing out on the cold tile floor.

Chapter 3

Blue Flame awoke "What the..." he muttered weakly as he attempted to stand. He had a headache that made him flinch in pain. As he tried to remember what had happened, he examined his surroundings. He couldn't find anything out of the ordinary, but something felt...wrong. Almost as if there was a nearby presence, watching him just outside of his line of sight. It made him feel uncomfortable but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment. He tried his hardest to remember what had caused him to lose consciousness, but to no avail. He looked up at the clock, it was nearly ten o'clock. It was odd that nopony had stumbled upon him in the lab, but he would have to deal with that later. He had to get home to Carrot Top and his sister they must have been worried about him. He wouldn't be able to teleport with a headache like his, he would have to take the old fashioned way. When he exit the building there was a thick fog. It was too thick for him to see more than a few meters in front of him. As he headed towards the direction he was sure was home he noticed the strange presence he had felt was getting more intense. He wasn't even sure why, but he felt afraid, very afraid, now in a fast paced trot he stopped finally realizing that he hadn't been paying attention to where he was going. There was a tree nearby, he walked up to it. It hadn't been like any tree he had usually seen around Ponyville, something about it was...'twisted'. He looked up at the tree and was horrified to find there was a large branch impaling the rotting corpse of a pony, he wanted to vomit. He was now completely terrified, he couldn't even imagine what horrible monster would do such a thing. The tree branch fell down hard next to him and he yelled in surprise. He saw that the branch was still connected to the tree by some sort of cord, he tried to make sense of it all. Just then the corpse sprung to life and lunged at him, it knocked him to the ground cutting one of his hind legs and he panicked, kicking wildly he landed a kick on the cord that still connected the creature to the tree. It screamed in pain and flailed itself around, blood pouring from the newly severed cord. It died leaving Blue Flame with his eyes wide open, covered in it's blood, and more terrified than ever. His mind was racing with questions, what was that thing, why did it attack him, and most importantly how did it get there? His head started beating like a drum and he winced. He examined his surroundings for any landmarks he could find, there was a figure of a nearby building and he headed towards it in hopes that it was nearby to his home. He stopped dead in his tracks, it was the lab. He was very confused by this, but he wouldn't be able to think about it right now, not with his level of headache. He slowly walked to his workstation where he yet again passed out on the cold hard floor.

Chapter 1

Blue Flame woke up screaming "STAY AWAY YOU DAMN FREAK!".

"What is it?! What's wrong?!", Carrot Top asked in a panic as she dashed into the bedroom.

"N-nothing it was just a dream…", Said the panting blue unicorn as he sat himself up. He looked tired, as if he had just participated in the running of the leaves.

"Well breakfast is ready when you are.", She said with more than just a hint of concern in her voice.

He had been having these dreams for the last week and they had all been the same. A very tall thin pony wearing a black suit with a red tie and blank face that stalks him around an empty Ponyville, not really getting close just looking at him. That is, until it actually attempts to approach him causing Blue Flame to run away on instinct. Then the nightmare really begins. But as Blue tries to run that slender pony is around every corner he takes just waiting there for him. He eventually is trapped in an alleyway the terrifying figure closing in on him. Blue tries to teleport away but it's no use he keeps ending up in the same alleyway and as the terrifying entity draws closer, he wakes up.

"So you're sure you're fine?", Carrot said questioning him as he sat down and started eating his grass sandwich.

"Yeah I'm okay, trust me you'd be the first one I'd tell if something was wrong.", he replied with a tired smile attempting to reassure her.

"Alright if you say so…", she said sounding dissatisfied with answer she was given. "Well you had better leave before you're late for work", she said making him realize what time it was.

"BUCK!", he yelled putting on his vest and grabbing his notes in a hurry "I'll be home later tonight!", he shouted before teleporting away.
