Bully

"Come back, Diamond Tiara. Don't  be a scaredy pony." she called from the bottom the stairs. Diamond Tiara galloped down the second story hallway, her heart pounding violently in her chest and a little stream of blood running down her forehead. She stopped in the center of the hallway, looking around her for a place to hide. The sound of hoof steps coming up the stairs made the scared filly's body go cold.

"You better run. I'm coming to get you."

The pink filly turned around at the stairs and could see the shadow of the pony on the wall. It was like seeing the very figure of death approach you.

"I don't hear hoofsteps, you must want to die."

She turned back around, trying to think which door lead to which room. Yes, she lived here but right now she was two frightened to remember. Diamond Tiara randomly chose a door and galloped into the room, quickly closing the door behind her. The orange glow by the window revealed a queen size bed, posters of Vinyl Scratch and Neon Lights, and a full body mirror that had the word BULLY written in dried blood. Thank Celestia, it was her room.

Tiara ran up to the window, banging her back hoof on a tipped over wooden chair, and looked down. The house was surrounded by a wall of fire and right in front of it was a yellow filly with a red bow, staring back up at her with a hateful frown on her face. Right next to the yellow filly was a body. Whether it was alive or dead she didn't know, but she did know who it was. Her best friend.

The pony outside the house turned to look at the grey mare that laid next to her. She stared at the body for, what felt like, the long period of time. She then spat on her and then muttered something.

"OK, so you wanna play hide and seek? I love this game. Alrighty, ready or not here I come." called a voice from just outside the bedroom.

Diamond Tiara's instincts kicked in and she quickly began looking around her room for a place to hide. There were a few places she could hide in, but they were quite obvious. There was a sound of a door creaking open. Tiara's heart sank. She looked up at her bedroom door and saw that it was still shut.

There was a slight moment of silence that gave the filly some time to think. She picked up the wooden chair that laid on the ground and moved it over against the door.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are!"

In a panic, Diamond Tiara darted under the bed. Her body was covered in sweat and her heart thumped in her chest like a thousand ponies stomping the ground. The blood on her forehead made it's way down from her head to her muzzle, tickling her nose. Tears fell from her eyes and splashed onto the wooden floor as she started to silently cry.

Oh Celestia, they killed her. I just know it. They killed Silver Spoon and it's my fault. I invited her over because I was afraid and now she's dead.

"No! I don't know that." she whispered to herself. "She could just be unconscious or something."

Quit lying to yourself. You know that's bullshit. She's dead down there with spit in her face.

"Please, shut up."

You got her killed.

"Shut up!"

And now you're next.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Diamond Tiara yelled.

"I hear you." said a filly just outside the room. The door handle jiggled but didn't turn. "I know where you are. I'm coming in."

"Please Celestia! Please Luna! Don't let them hurt me."

BANG!

The whole room seemed to have shook from the bang at the door.

CRACK!

Diamond Tiara looked up from the floor at the door and saw there was a large crack running right down the middle of it.

"Little pig, little pig let me in." There was a short pause.Tiara could hear her heart beat like it was pulsating in her mind. "And then Huff! And Puff! and Buck your door in."

BANG!

The cowering pony shut her eyes tightly and cover her ears with her hooves. "Please go away. Please! Please! Please!" she whispered to herself.

BANG!

Tears ran down Tiara's face like a dozen streams. Her body trembled and shook and for a moment she was sure she was gonna throw up.

CRASH! The wooden chair flew half way across the room and the door broke into a dozen pieces. For a moment it seemed like time was standing still. There was no movement and there was no sound. Just silence. But all that was broken when four white hooves stepped into the room.

"Diamond Tiara...where are you?"

Please Celestia, don't let her check under the bed. For all that is good in equestria don't let her check under the bed.

You know she's going to find you? You chose the worst hiding spot in the entire house.

"I can sense your fear, Tiara." said the white filly. "Maybe a song will cheer you up. Hush now, quiet now. It's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now or else you'll wake up dead.

Tears dropped onto the floor boards as Diamond Tiara continued to silently cry. The white pony walked around the room for a minute, either thinking where to look or to tease the frightened filly.

Maybe she already knows where you are. Maybe she's messing with you mind.

The pony walked over to the wardrobe and opened it. Inside she found a large variety of fancy dresses that looked as though they each had only been worn once.

"These dresses are definitely not as good as my sister's dresses, but these are descent." the white pony said. Diamond Tiara quietly watched the ponies white hooves move around her bedroom, hoping...no, praying, she didn't know where she was.But her prayers were merely just thoughts and nothing more.

The white filly's hooves stopped right in front of Diamond Tiara's face. She could have sworn her heart skipped three beats at that moment. The filly got down onto the floor and stared at Tiara with her large green eyes. "Hello, Diamond Tiara. You missed me?"

The pink filly let out an ear piercing scream of terror.
