Chapter 1: Bad Dream

It is very dark as Scootaloo walks through the heavily overgrown forest, the forest where she is not suppose to be. Matter of fact, she really doesn't know why she's wakling through the Everfree Forrest nor where the path is leading her. She has never been this way other than that night  her and a few other friends went out camping one night traveling to Winsome Falls--a destination where ponies splashes into the multi-colored waterfalls.  As she kept walking, Scootaloo hears a faint echo horse cries from behind. Ignoring the sound, she keeps walking. It is so dark along the way she could barely sees the dirt path since there a full moon tonight shining the forest like one of those big floodlights at a football stadium. *tree branch cracks*

"Who'se out there?!" , Scoolatoo calls out as she quickly turned around. No one answers. After more than ten seconds of silence, other than the sounds of the forest's ambience, Scootaloo turns to the path she was facing and keeps on walking. *two tree branches cracks*

Scootaloo turns once again and sees no pony nor any type of creatures whatsoever. She is having a bad feeling about being out in this forest alone at night. Not sure if she will be killed, raped, hurt or what, she just has to get out of there as fast as possible with every caution along the way. So then she did, carrying on deeper into the forest. It's has been approximately ten minutes and she haven't heard anymore of those tree branches cracking. To calm her nerves down, she nervously starts singing 99 Buckets of Oats Sweetie Belle sang at the campfire a while back.  It felt like she have been walking the endless path for years and these crooked, moss trees seems to be watching her every moves as she passes by them. *tree branch cracks*

Not this again, she thought. Some one really is following her! Not only the tree branch cracks once again, she also hears a clopping sound as if some pony is running toward her. Scootaloo turns around and sees nothing. It is like pitch black behind her and she has truly no idea what's behind her other than trees and little critters. Scootaloo starts walking faster. *clop clop clop*

Scootaloo walks little bit faster. *clop clop clop*

The sound gets closer and closer and Scootaloo burst into full speed to get away from this stranger. As she runs through the unknown direction she was going to, she is halted infront of a big tree with an evil face. The tree is alive! It growls as it raises one arm and swings at her as Scootaloo ducks. The tree attacks her once more and fails to as Scootaloo runs away from the tree. Another tree reaches out and misses her too. A root of a tree burst out of the ground under her as Scootaloo screams and falls onto the ground. The clopping of a horse running is getting closer and Scootaloo has no time to lie down on the ground. She manages to get back up and runs. Another big scary looking tree swings it's tree branches down at her and Scootaloo avoids it. She is like an pro! She learns it from Rainbow Dash back when she was teaching Scootaloo how to fight, not to mention she is a skilled fighter yet though.  She runs passes by all the attacking tress untill one moment where one of the tree's roots burst out of the ground and trips her ash she falls down into a small hill. Hurt by a hard thud onto a ground, she manages to get up again. When she does, she turns around and to her horror, she sees a headless horse ontop of the hill, neighing and is facing her direction.  Feeling all the terror in her, she is able to move to run the fuck out of that forrest immediately!!!! Legend has said that the headless horse lost its head while running through the Everfree Forrest for unkown reason and is desperately trying to replace somepony head off of another pony's body!  As she approaches to the hill on the other side of the big ditch, tree roots starts crawling out as if it were trying to block her path. Panicking while the headless horse runs closer, she quickly grabs onto one of the roots and makes her way up as she avoids the oncoming roots that are trying to catch her. Just then, a lightening storm comes in and joins the party. Lightening bolts eerily flashes through the dark clouds like strobe of lights at Vinyl Scratch's dj party and multiple of bolts shoots to the ground. It shook the ground and Scootaloo almost slips from the tree root she's holding onto. As she climbs her way up, she is now feeling the heat and smells something burning from the top of  the hill. Once ontop, she sees the entire forrest burst into flames. One of the burning trees is crackling its body, breaks, and makes its way down toward Scootaloo. She jumps to another direction. Scootaloo sees a headless horse rises behind the flaming down tree as the horse shoots a tentacle-like gut out of it's neck. That tentacle 'thing' is going to replace Scootaloo's head and onto the headless horse. She knew legend well enough and knows one thing to do if she wants to live: RUN!!! Scootaloo burst at full speed running through the blazing woods. The headless horse chases after her. This could not get any worse Scootaloo thought. With all this terror inside her, she has tears running down her cheek like a sink. She has never been this scared in her life before. One of the tree breathes fire and Scootaloo quickly doges to her right and safetly passes it. More burning trees shoots fire at her as they're trying to cook her for headless horse.  A lightening bolt hits a tree and breaks it in half. It fell down and fire burst into air. Thunder roars through the dark sky like a drum. Another tree swings its firey arm branch at her while running and ducks. Those trees will not gives up, neither will the headless horse! This is like the longest path she have ever walks on, perhaps running.  Just an endless blazing and terrifying chase. She is trying all the best she can to survive this chase untill one of the lightening bolts jolts to the ground and sents Scootaloo flying and hits the ground. Scootaloo faces the horse and the headless horse reaches its tentacle-like gut toward Scootaloo's head and violently starts shaking it off as it pinned her to the ground. Scootaloo starts screaming and crying, and even gagging and coughing up blood at the same time. The skin of her neck starts ripping apart and massive amount of blood pours out like a water dam break apart. Everything starts feeling numb. She coulnd't hardly breathes. On the last minute of her life, she only she ever sees is the headless horse ripping her head off in the middle of the Everfree Forrest. If only Rainbow Dash was here to saves me, she sadly thought. Scootaloo has failed to fight and her head is now ripped from her remaining body.  And now the headless horse is no longer headless. The horse places Scootaloo's head on it's body and surprisingly, she's still alive! She is hardly breathing and is like a zombie. Scootaloo can see her own headless body runs through the woods and then caught on fire. She no longer can watch it run, it just disappeared into the fire. For no reason, her remaining body starts to runs into a different direction. She then sees a cave up ahead. The cave where the last night of the camping trip she had. The cave is now filled with burning blood orange smoke. She tries to move but couldn't. Her body is uncontrollably running.  Another lightening bolt breaks another tree and falls to the ground. She avoids it and another tree falls down and avoids that one also. Another one falls right infront of her and she jumps over it. The blood orange smoke has now a shape of a pony face with a horn on it's head. The face opens mouth with gnarling teeths and Scootaloo runs toward it, closes her eyes, and BAM the smoked face pony ate her and set her on fire and is quickly burning the flesh inside the belly of the ghost pony. Scootaloo could screams but couldn't because of the gagging with the amount of blood in her throat. Her restless body now turns to skeleton and what's left of her is her head. The wind clears the smoke in the cave and the forrest is no longer on fire. Her head is just sitting on the ground inside of the cave, waiting for somepony to come by. She's now dead.
