My Little Nightmare
Chapter 3
“Welcome to Primetime, Bitch!”
“H-how-how do you know my name?” She could barely speak she was so scared.
“You see, this is my world, Twilight. I know everybody that goes in and out of my world.”
“Don’t you mean everypony?”
“If I were you, I wouldn’t correct the grammar of the guy with the knives. Besides, no, I don’t, because you’re only the third pony to come into my world. All the others have been human. But I’ll tell you this. You ponies are much more fun than they are.”
“Discord? Is that you?”
“Nope, but I do like the way he thinks. Now, I’m afraid our conversation’s up.”
“Does that mean you’re gonna kill me?”
“No, you got lucky. I just need you to tell your friends about me.”
“Why?” With that, she woke up back in bed as a pony again.
-end flashback-
“Wow, you really weren’t kidding.” Twilight nodded in response.
“It all felt so real. I even felt the wind outside the house.”
“Well, did y’all catch his name?”
“No, but the song said ‘Freddy’s coming for you’, so I’d assume his name is Freddy.”
“And ya reckon this guy went into Applebloom’s dream and killed her that way?” Once again, Twilight nodded.
“I’m not quite sure what else could possibly be happening.”
“Well, normally, I wouldn’t believe ya, but after the story you just told, I gotta think it’s at least a possibility. What bugs me is why did he want the rest of us ta know about ‘im?”
“I don’t know. But I don’t think I wanna find out. I can’t endanger you guys for my own life. It would be selfish...Uh oh…”
“What is it, Twi?”
“I just realized I told you about him, which means you could be in danger. Think you can go another night w/o sleep?”
“I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee anythin’.”
“You have to try. If not, you could be next, and the elements of harmony won’t work against him. Not only that, but I’d hate to lose any of you. It’s bad enough he got Applebloom, we can’t let him get to you, too.”
“Well, I’ll just have to be ready for ‘im, iffin’ he even shows up. I’ll know what I’m up against, so it should be easy.”
“But we don’t even know what power he may possess. You found Applebloom as a puddle of blood. He’d have to have a lot of power in order to do that.”
“Well, I’ll try to stay awake, then. From what we know, he can’t get me if I’m awake.”
“Alright. Sorry to hear about Applebloom.”
“Y’all don’t need ta worry ‘bout it. Ain’t your fault. Well, I’ll see ya.” Twilight nodded as her friend left the room, heading for home. Twilight began pacing in the room, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she remembered something.
“Spike, take a letter.
‘Dear Princess Celestia,
I think I may have a lead on who killed Princess Luna. His name is Freddy, and, I know it sounds crazy, but I believe he kills his victims in their dreams, making them die for real. I gathered the information by having him be in my own dream last night. He didn’t tell me flat out, but I figured it out on my own. I’ll write you again if anything else comes up.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle.’ There, now we can send the princess that progress report and see what comes up.”

Author's Note

Sorry this one's so short. If you'd like to see Freddy kill a character you can't stand, just request it in the comments. If I get to it, that pony might just be Freddy's next victim. The only rules are no villains, Rainbow Dash or Twilight Sparkle. Anypony else is free to die.
