IT came from the bed

IT was cold, that was for an absolute fact. It was very, very cold and no one could deny it. This was not important to the creature that had lived on the bed, oh no. On the contary, it’s fur was able to keep it warm and cozy from the harsh cold of the outside;however, it began to crave for something. It began to crave the warm fluid that could only be found in a hard body and it would stop at nothing to go and get it. Daring to step out onto the cold floor, it left the soft bedding and slid across the floor to the door that led to the outside world.

Before it could leave the confines of the room, though, it needed a soul to give it comfort and safety. Turning its head, the monster looked with purple eyes from its mounds of tight fur that covered its head at an innocent bystander. The innocent young filly was just sitting there, writing in his journal about the wonderful day that she was having and the dreams about the future. These dreams, would never come true. This became a fact of life for the young filly as the monster slowly crept up to the filly, raised its girth over the writing filly, and covered her with its body sucking her into the warm fur forever and keeping it trapped. Turning around, after finishing its meal, it began its long slow journey to the door and out into the wide world.

Once outside of the warm cave that it had called a room, it began to survey its surroundings by looking to the left and then to the right. If it could’ve chuckled, it would have. For there were no guards posted anywhere and no white sentries looking for it. This would be the perfect plan and the greatest time to feed without being stopped by anypony. Turning to the right, it began to slink across the floor, being careful not to touch its exposed feet to the cold ground and stay within the confines of its warm fur. Slithering like a snake with its earlier victim in its body, it moved through the hallway and to its first real obstacle, a cliff with many stepps. Breathing in and out, it took the risk of exposing its small feet to the cold steps and moved down each one, slowly taking the time to get through one step. Thinking that this was her chance, the filly inside the fur tried to escape, but to no avail. Once it had left the fur, the creature immediately dragged it back in, cackling all the while.

Reaching the last step, the creature began to smell its desire coming from two rooms away. Smiling evily, it creeped along the floor, through the room where a giant was reading a long book and into the room with the icy floor. This floor would’ve frozen the monster compeletly if it were not for the warm fur covering it and the feet. Moving ever so slowly, it seeked out the source of its sustance, its food, and its greatest desire. Poking its nose out slightly, it sniffed the air to find the source of the fluid, catching its familar scent on the air from a few feet away. It chuckled to itself as it turned to where the poor thing sat.

The young creature sat on top of its perch, taking in the rays of the sun as the creature came up right behind it. The little thing watched its lovely world pass by its head while he adjusted his cap, unknowing of the monster right behind him. Then, it was suddently grabbed by the creature’s purple tentacles and brought slowly to the open mouth of the monster. IT bearly had time to scream as it was brought to the monster’s mouth and had its life fluids drained.

Victory in hand, the monster turned around to leave and finish its meal, only to be stopped by its greatest enemy. It was the white sentry that it had feared would find it and stop it from getting its meal. The white sentry looked down at the monster, his head crooked as he sighed and said, “You know Twily, if you wanted some hot choclate, you could’ve asked,” A smile came across Shining Armor’s face as he watched his little sister poke her head out of the many layers of covers she had on.

“But BBBFF, you were too far away and I wanted to see if I could get by you,” Said Twilight as she held her little stuffed toy close to her, “I wanted to make sure I could get some of mom’s hot chocolate before it was all gone.”

“First, you didnt get by me, I caught you when you got downstairs. Second, don't worry, I know sometimes mom runs out of hot chocolate before you can get to it, and that is why,” Shining then brought out a second cup, “I made a cup of hot chocolate just for you, with an extra marshmallow and a cherry.”

“YAY,” Twilight said raising her hooves and throwing her sheets off, before shivering and quickly putting them back on, “Thank you so much big brother,” Said the small unicorn as she wrapped her hooves around his leg and went to get her cup. But, not before grabbing an innocent cookie from the shelf with her magic and brought it to her mouth. he poor creature bearly had time to scream as it neared the monsters hungry fangs and was murdered with a, “nom!” Putting her covers back over her head, she slowly turned to grab the drink with her hoof and wrapped another around the white sentry’s leg.

“Come along Twily, maybe I could read you a story?”

The monster smiled wildly as she walked with the white sentry into another room to read with the hero of the kitchen. Its long warm fur trailing behind her as she sang the praises of her older brother, nuzzling close to his leg.
