A Brony Life
Chapter 10: Group up and seperate
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWelcome all bros, bronies, random viewers that were bored, and any combination of the three! This is the tenth chapter of many to come! As of now I have a few chapter ideas already lined up, so some chapters might start coming fast. To limit you guys getting overloaded with chapters, I'm limiting it to one a day at the most. Sorry, but it helps me as well.
With that all said and typed, let us begin!

After we got the deed from the mayor's office, me, Spike, and Twilight were now heading over to Sugarcube Corner. "You know, I think Rarity might need my help with something today. Guess I can't come to the haunted spooky house, oh well." Spike said. "See you guys later!" He tried to run to the library, but I stopped him.
"Rarity's coming with us." I told him. He sighed in defeat and we all kept walking.
When we finally got there, we went in and saw Pinkie Pie playing with Gummy. "Hey Pinkie Pie." Twilight said.
"Oh hi Twilight! Hi Spike! Hi Blitz!" She said, looking extremely happy like usual.
"Hi Pinkie Pie. Hey, everypony else is going to the Old Mare Crankle House. Want to come?" I asked. I knew that explaining everything would be a waste of time, so I just asked.
"Sure!" She said, not even bothering to question it. Wow, how was I right? I bet if I told her we were all jumping off a bridge she would come too.
"Great. Well let's go. Everypony else is going to meet us there." I turned around and started walking. The three of them following me. I really only went in the direction the mayor pointed out earlier, and I was apparently going the right way because Spike was getting more and more scared as we went on. Twilight was to focused on being determined to prove that there was no ghost and I was never good at calming people down, so Pinkie Pie just kept talking to Spike. It was either going to make him calm down or freak out more so I just hoped it was the first one.
When we finally got there, I saw the house for the first time. It looked like a giant tree stomp the size of a mansion. In a way, it looked like Luigi's Mansion, no joke. The top two middle windows looked like eyes, glaring at us. The whole house was covered in vines, so it looked like a sickly green color. And to top off the scariness, it was on a high, lone hill, with a lightening rod on the top, so thunder clouds were floating over head.
"So you guys finally made it?" Rainbow Dash asked. She, along with a scared to death Fluttershy, cautious Applejack, and shivering Rarity went up to us.
"Yeah. Well you were right, the house is abandoned." I gave her that, it has obviously been abandoned for a long time.
"Yep. You can just admit your scared now. I mean, you're already shivering!" Rainbow Dash said, laughing at me.
"Not me." I said. I picked up Spike, who was hiding behind me. He was shaking so much he was shaking me. "Same goes for you. I'm the one that's living here, none of you don't have to come." I pointed out.
"Wait a second there Blitz. Yer saying that you're gonna stay here? Why?" Applejack asked.
"Because I just don't think that staying in your family's barn is a good idea. It's almost like I'm taking advantage of your kindness. Besides, this house looks really cool." I said, looking at it.
"Are you insane?! What appeal does this home have to anypony?! It is even terrifying just to look at!" Rarity pointed out. True, it didn't look that good now. But after it got fixed up it would look like any other house, if not better.
"Well, as soon as I get rid of the vines, maybe clear up some of the thunder clouds, then it should be way more welcoming." I said, already picturing what it would look like.
"Yeah right! I bet you can't even stay there a full minute let alone live here!" Rainbow Dash challenged.
"Please, I'm not scared of anything!" I came back with. I know everyone always said that, but I meant it. I've been through everything life had to throw at me and I'm still here aren't I?
"Oh yeah! Fine! Go on ahead then tough guy!" Rainbow Dash challenged me again.
"Alright. Have fun staring at the 'menacing' house." I told them as I started heading in.
"Wait up!" Twilight ran after me, still wanting to prove to everyone in Ponyville that there were no spirits.
"Twilight, don't just leave me here!" Spike said, running after Twilight. As much as he hated being in the house, he didn't want to be left alone outside of it.
"Hey, wait for me!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew after us.
"Y'all can't just leave us out here!" Applejack said as she chased after us, not wanting to be left behind.
"Oh, none of them cannot simply just leave me out here can they?!" Rarity asked herself as she went after us, careful not to step in any mud puddles on the way.
Pinkie Pie was worried as she looked at Fluttershy with a smile. "Come on Fluttershy, let's go!" Pinkie Pie said as she skipped after the rest of us.
"But... I... It's just to... I think I'll just wait ou- EEEEEEEEP!" She screamed after another boom of thunder and a flash of lightning and ran as fast as she could after us.
Sadly, when she ran after us, we were at the doorway. She ran in and bumped into all of us, pushing us all inside all the way. That's when the door closed behind us.
"What in tarnation?!" Applejack yelled out.
Spike ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was stuck. "It won't open!"
"Okay, guess will have to find another way out." I pointed out.
Rainbow Dash chuckled as she got up and flew just a little overhead. "So you are scared!"
"No. But I doubt anypony else wants to stay in here more than they have to." I said, gesturing to the others, who looked like they were about to freak out.
"Blitz is right. We need to find a way out of here. So let's get it together, and look another door." Twilight instructed. She took a few steps forward and a floor board under her opened up, making her fall through the floor. The floor board quickly closed behind her and she was gone.
I was the first one to get there and I tested the same floor board, but it didn't move. "Well that's just great." I said with sarcasm. Everyone in that room started going crazy. "Everypony calm down!" I yelled out.
"Calm down?! Twilight just got eaten by the floor!" Spike said.
"She didn't get eaten by the floor. The floor board just gave out when she stepped on it. She's probably just one floor below us." I flapped my wings and stayed in the air. "It's probably a good idea that we try to avoid any more loose floor boards."
"But what do we do about Twilight?" Spike asked.
"Well, we just have to split into two groups. One goes to find Twilight. The other tries to find the exit." I ordered.
"Wait a second, who made you the boss?" Rainbow Dash asked, frowning. She flew over to me.
"My house, my rules." I came back at her with.
"Well, your house just ate our friend!" Rainbow Dash said, getting in my face. I was not about to back down.
"That's why I'm trying to fix this. Besides, you're the one who wanted all of them to come here!"
"Will you two knock it off! Our friend's in trouble and y'all can only bicker about it." Applejack told us.
"Yeah, but he still shouldn't lead the group!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. She then looked back at me. "Do you know what happens when ponies split up? They're always caught by the ghost!" She yelled out and swung her arms in the air, hitting the floor board above her. The floor board then spun around in space and sent her flying through the ceiling, going up a level and leaving the group.
"Rainbow Dash!" We all yelled out. I tried to push the floor board and try to get it to move again, but to no avail. I then elbowed the roof, but it was stuck in there good.
"Okay, nopony move! Every time somepony does, we end up being separated even more." I figured out.
Right, like any of them would take that advice. One more crack of thunder sent them over the edge. Fluttershy screamed and ran off in blind fear, somehow bringing Spike with her when she ran right through him. She ran through a doorway and the breeze had the door close right behind her, along with a big empty bookshelf tipping over and blocking off the doorway.
"And then there were four. Okay, can we go two minutes without somepony else getting separated from the group?" I asked out loud, not really caring if any of them answered.
"This was all a dreadful idea. How Rainbow Dash convinced me to come I will have no idea." Rarity said, putting her hoof to her forehead dramatically.
"Doesn't matter how we got here, we just have to focus on getting the others and getting out of here. This house isn't structurally sound enough for eight." I pointed out, sounding like a contractor or something along those lies.
Then I thought of something. "Well, there's gotta be three floors. Rainbow Dash went up a floor, Fluttershy and Spike should be just beyond that door," I pointed to the door they went through, and Twilight is in the basement." I reviewed.
"We already knew that! How do we get them?!" Pinkie Pie said as she shook me as if thinking that would make me think of an idea.
"How we get them is actually pretty easy." I said kind of slowly as I stopped Pinkie from shaking me. "I'll go and find Rainbow Dash, while you three try to move that giant bookshelf." I said, pointing to the bookshelf that was big enough to hold nearly a fourth of Twilight's books.
"You got it pardner." Applejack said as she and the other two went over to the bookshelf.
I looked back at the board Rainbow Dash went to. Okay, let's see here. If I can't move the plank, then I'll have to find another way around. I can't just slice through the wood, the house is to weak for me to just cut up a board. As I listed all the reasons, I eventually just choose to look for the staircase that lead up to the next floor. This house was a maze, and with nearly no light except for the thunder outside, I just had to fly really slowly and hope I didn't bump into something that would trap me in some other room. The last thing we need is for another one of us to be trapped.
With the group separated its only a matter of time until the scares begin. Who will step up to the plate and save the others? What horrors will they find? And how will thy escape? All of these 'horror'able questions and bad jokes answered next chapter!
