My alarm beeped from where it sat in my nightstand. I grunted lazily with annoyance and slammed my hoof on it's Off button. I slowly raised myself up from where I Kay on my bead, my wings flying out behind me. The clock read 11:49. I had just enough time to get ready and fly off.  I donned my new Nught Guard hat, a blue and white cap that read in black letters the words SECURUTY. I opened my door and checked the time: 11: 58. I crouched low and byrst out the door, my sister Dark Gust closing it for me. I was on my way to work, the black sky surrounding me.

I stepped in and checked the time. It was 11:59. I took my seat in the office I called mine. A small tablet sat on the chair. "Huh? A iBuySomeApples? Who would leave that here?!" I picked it up and read a note, which told me I could only operate it with my wings. It seemed easy. All I had to do was look at the screens which led to the Live Feed of the security cameras. The phone rang. "Who the hell would call at this hour?" I wondered. I answered like a kind pony would despite my suspicions.

Hello hello? Hey! Let me just tell you this first: you gave made the worst career choice one could make,friend. Now, I need to also say that I'm calling because if I didn't you won't know how to survive. My name is Filthy Rich. I was the previous Night Guard. You probably know the Mane Six. Twilight,Fluttershy,Pinkie,Rarity,Applejack,and Rainbow Dash. Although you probably haven't seen Rainbow. She's out of order. Nonetheless, listen closely. You can think I'm insane, but you'll think wrong later. The animatronics are alive. Don't let them in the office. They'll kill you and stuff you in a animatronic suit. They wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many wires in there, especially near the face area. Basically, the only parts if you that would ever see tomorrow are your eyes and teeth. But... Yeah.... Good luck tonight!

The phone clicked and the call ended. I thought the guy was mad. Kookoo. Insane. Any word. I tapped the Stage area and practically choked on my gum. Rarity and Fluttershy were missing. Maybe the guy wasn't mad. I searched everywhere and found Rarity staring at the camera with her mouth wide open in the Bathroom. Fluttershy was backstage, doing the same as Rarity. I looked at the Stage again. Applejack had moved behind Pinkie, also staring with her maw wide open at me. Into my soul.... I checked on Rarity. Gone. I took my eyes off the camera and saw her in the doorway. I leaped at the door button and landed my hoof on it. It closed quickly. Applejack was on my left. I hit the button with a wham. Exactly 2 hours passed by. I checked the clock. 3:09. My heart beat faster than Sombra eats crystals. I checked the cameras. Fluttershy was gone. She stood in the eastern hall grinning a slasher smile. My power was at 40. I checked the doors. Fluttershy on my right, Rarity looking like she was leaving but still on my left. I wouldn't risk it. I slammed both shut again. I saw Pinkie still standing, it looked like she had no interest ripping me limb from limb like the others. Her eyes showed hunger, but she seemed to be lost in her thoughts. All her bloody thoughts. I heard a soft bang... Was Rarity knocking? I realized Flyttershy was gone. I opened the door. Checked the time: 5:08. I sighed. One more hour of terror and I would be fine. I was interrupted from my trances by a orange hoof wrenching the tablet out of my hooves. "HOLY BUCKING MITHER OF FAUST!!!" I screeched as I saw Applejack standing at the door and staring into my soul. I slammed the door and picked up the tablet. Rarity was gone. I figured so. Opening the door, I- "YOU GOTTA BE BUCKING KIDDING ME!!!" Apparently, Fluttershy had been waiting out of sight for me to open it again. I closed the door. My power lowered down to 20. I spread out my wings and was ready to fly out above the ponies just to live. Suddenly, I heard a chiming noise. The animatronics outside my doors returned to where they had stood. I waited for Fluttershy. Pelting out the door after they returned, I never slowed my wing flap.

Once I reached my door, I thanked Faust for my surviving, and flew onto my sofa. I felt it with my hooves and cried tears of joy. I had lived.... I had made it.
