I could hear Fluttershy calling my name from behind, but that didn’t stop me. This filly was crying for help. They could be hurt or lost. This was no place for a child. It wasn't safe. It was never safe. Anypony could get killed in here. I heard so many cases of ponies getting attacked and sadly, not all of them did make it out alive. This child wasn't going to get kill. Not today. Not if I could do something about it. I needed to find them before it was too late.

"Where are you?" I yelled. "I'm here!"

The only response I heard was more screaming. How badly was this pony hurt? I hoped they weren't attacked by anything. I kept running and running deeper and deeper into the forest. The very trees seemed to moan as it seem to be closing in on me. I was most likely just scaring myself but it didn't help. I could still hear the screaming. Even then, I didn't know which way to go. Everything around me looked the same.

"Please! Tell me where you are!" I screamed. I wanted the foal to hear me, but I couldn't be sure if they did. How am I going to find the filly? "How did you find me, Discord?" I asked. "All you heard was my screaming." I tried to follow where that wailing sound was coming from, but I felt like it was leading me nowhere. I couldn't give up, though. Not right now. I refused to let this child down. I knew that I must keep following the sound of crying for help. I was going to find them no matter what. Eventually, I heard the screaming getting louder. That meant I was getting close.

"Don't worry. I'm coming!" I cried. I passed a couple trees and bushes before I finally came upon a small filly. The filly was smaller than Sweetie belle and was covered in blood. She was still crying.

"Oh my. Don't worry I'm going to help you. Just don't move." I trotted closer to her. "Why are you crying?"

"What?"

"I asked, Why are you crying?"

"Wait...you can SEE me?" I gave her a weird look.

"Of course I can see you. Why wouldn't I be able to see you?"

"Well...I don't know. It just seems that no pony can see me. Every time I walk up to them, they don't listen to me or they can’t see me."

"Are you lost? How long have you been out here?" I asked

"I don't know, forever I guess," She answered.

"Haven't you tried to get help?"

"Yes, but like I just said, it seems as if no pony can see me," She answered to me more harshly.

"Right sorry. I forgot you said that. What do you mean no pony can see you?" I asked with a brow raised.

"I said as if no pony could see me. What is with all of the questions? You ask way too many of them." she replied with an irritated tone in her voice.

"Sorry, I just want to help you. You look like you been wanting that for a while."

The filly looked up at me and smiled. "Yes, I'm lost and I need....I need help."

"Wait a minute. I know you..." I said. I gave her a long look. I knew I seen this filly somewhere. She looked familiar. But where how I seen her before? When I was filly like her? This whole moment seem to be familiar. Why was it? Had this happen before? It took me a moment to remember, which only frightened me more.

I step away from her. "You're not real. This isn't real. None of this is real."

"No. I am real. Don't say I'm not. I am... I am." She started crying again.

"No, you're not. This is all in my head. I need to leave." The filly was crying even louder at this point. I knew this was in my head but why did I feel guilty? I didn't mean to make her cry. She wasn't real. Why did I needed to care? Why did it hurt me?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Please stop crying," I begged.

All of a sudden, a growl broke through the sounds of her sobs. I froze to the spot as I felt a looming presence behind me. I could hear the loud stomps behind me. It was too big to be a timber wolf. I looked down at the filly. Her eyes were wide open and clearly scare of what was behind me. I slowly turned around, but I wasn't expecting to what I was about to witness. Standing in front of us was a big, tall red skin bull-like creature. It was standing on two legs and had really big long horns. It also had big dark red eyes. It had sharp claws with fire coming out of its mouth. It had a long chain wrapped around his whole body with a hook tied to the end of it. What stood out the most was its lantern. It illuminated darkness instead of light with what sounded like a thousand ponies screaming. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This wasn't real. It couldn't be. I wanted to scream but I was far too stunned to even attempt it. I started trotted backward very slowly.

"I told you I'll be watching you," It said to me. Its voice sounded like if two people were talking at the same time. One was light and soft, almost like a whisper and the other was deep and loud. "And you didn't believe me. Well, do you believe now?"

"You're not real! None of this is real. You're all in my head!"

"That's the problem. I am all too real." It started walking closer to me.

"Stay back!" I screamed.

"Or else what? You'll kill me?" the creature mocked me. At the same time a mist came out from behind it and started to surround us. I watched as the forest swaddled in a veil of a poltergeist-white mist. It was eerily silent in the forest and soon it was impossible to see anything. I quickly turned my head around to check on the filly, but she was no longer there. Where did she go? Did she run off?

"You should run. Unless you want to meet death," The creature laughed and let out a demonic roar. The creature was radiating a grey smoke, it made me cough and my eyes watered. It opened its mouth to reveal nothing but red stained teeth, blood poured out of it’s mouth onto the ground, and quickly spread into a large puddle that was soon around my hooves. I screamed before I turned around quickly and ran. I didn't know where I was going. I didn't know what to do. I just ran. It was the best thing I could come up with, but I knew I couldn't run for long and it would soon find me.

"Help me! Somepony, please!" I cried. I could feel the creature not too far behind. I needed to hide, but where? I couldn't see anything. "Leave me alone!" I then caught a glimpse of a wall coming straight for me, I tried to use my good wings to stop myself before I rammed myself into the wall, but I lost control in it and I slammed right into it. I desperately wanted to run, but I couldn't move. I felt like the mist around me was closing in on me. There was no escape. I was trapped. All I had was the fear of which the monster seemed to bring. The creature walked up to me as I laid there helplessly.

"I guess you wanted to die. I can make that happen. I wanted to play with you a little longer but I have a job to finish." It grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up into the air. I didn't struggle or try to fight back. It was no use. I was going to die, this was it. This was the end. I began to cry as I squeezed my eyes shut. I began to breath deeply and slowly as time seemed to be slow with it. I opened my eyes only to be met by teeth.

"I'm sorry," I said, crying." Please...don't...I'm scared. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be loved like my sister. I just wanted to make her proud. I wanted to make my mother proud. I want to forgive...my father. It's just so hard too. I know what all I have done was evil. I know I'm a bad pony. I know I am a disappointment. But I try. I really do. I'm sorry. I'm sooo sorry." I continued crying, waiting for it to just kill me. Only thing is that it didn't. The creature only stared at me. It made a loud growls and pulled me right up against its face.

"Damn you. I was looking forward to killing you. You would have been the best one yet. I guess I'm going to have to wait for you," The creature said as it drop me to the ground. "Damn it." And then it turned around and walked back into the mist.

I just stood there shocked. One minute it wants to kill me and the next it tells me it can't. Why didn't it kill me? Maybe it was best not to find out? But even then what was I going to do? I still didn't know where I was at.

"What just happened?" I asked myself. "What is going on here? Wait, this isn't real. It's all in my head." I closed my eyes." And when I open my eyes it will be all normal again." I waited a minute then I slowly opened them. And then I was back in the Everfree Forest. I never thought I would be glad to be there. So that meant it was in my head, right?

"It doesn't matter. Let's just get out of this place," I said.

"Princess Luna?"

"What? Who said that?" I needed to make sure I was hearing something real.

"It's me, Fluttershy."

"Fluttershy?" I turned around to see her."What are you doing here?"

"I got worried. I didn't want to leave you alone out here. You said somepony was out here. I wanted to help."

"Oh. Well I hate to say but I heard wrong. There is nopony out here." I lied

"Okay. Well that's good. So now can we please get out of here?" she asked.

"Of course."

We both trotted out of the forest. I made sure I stay right beside Fluttershy. Once we were out, I teleported away before Fluttershy could say anything to me. I didn't need to answer anymore questions. I went back to Canterlot and went to my room. I jumped onto my bed and started to sob. At this moment, that was all I could do. Cry.

I never felt so alone.
