The barn door was being knocked around from the wind? But wait there was no wind tonight. Applebloom thought jumping out of bed to see what was happening. She looked out of the window and saw nothing wrong and felt no wind.

"Maybe it was just a breeze." Applebloom said to herself as she went to lay back down. The barn door kept slamming again she sighed and closed her eyes again. Applebloom went back to sleep but only for a moment as she had a dream of her friends in the barn waiting for her to save them. Applebloom jumped out of bed the window slammed shut for some odd reason causing her to jump a few feet in the air and shriek. She heard her granny snoring in the room next to her on the other side of the house was Applejack and Big Mac she could hear Big Mac snoring a bit before she walked down the stairs.

"Please tell me that was just a dream." Applebloom said to herself before grabbing a rake for protection. She picked up her pace before hearing some walking by the trees on her side.

"Who....who is ther.....there." Applebloom choked out raising her rake like a weapon. "I'm not afraid to use this." Applebloom said to the invisible force.  She went into the apple fields walking around she heard a strange sound every once in a while but I mean it was only an apple orchard right. Right?  Applebloom thought as she kept walking in the pitch black there was no moon tonight and very little stars.

"Out of all the nights Luna had to make, it's a no moon just great." Applebloom said to herself trying to find her way around the trees in the pitch black. She thought she heard a crack of a stick behind her. Applebloom's adrenaline quickly took control of her as she ran already toward the barn. She did not want to look back but something told her to stop being such a Scootaloo and turn around. She readied her rake and quickly spun around only to find nothing... She sighed in relief seeing nothing. She turned back to see why that dream told her to go the barn.

Snap....another stick cracked this time on the side a little far away from her. Applebloom stopped to see what was over there but only saw what looked like black in the shadows. For some reason Applebloom thought she saw a part in the shadows that was much darker then the others. She shook the thought off and went back to her way to the barn.

Applebloom took a deep breath as she reached the doors. "Hello anypony in here?" Applebloom asked no response.... She gulped hearing no response in the barn,she took another deep breath feeling a bit of dirt enter her mouth. She coughed out a bit during this time she had no idea what was about to happen to her. She stopped coughing and peeked her head into the barn only looking straight ahead she saw nothing....

She looked to her right side....nothing...she looked left and right before her stood a massive figure just standing there. Applebloom looked up and saw the face she gasped seeing no eyes no ears no mouth no nothing. She screamed and took off trying to exit the barn from the other side. She ran out and turned around the corner nothing there.... Applebloom quickly panted and gasped for breath like the figure stole it all from her. She tried running toward her house waiting at the door was the figure who turned his face and looked at the frightened filly.

Applebloom screamed again and started running back to the orchard she thought she could lose that thing in there. She sped up seeing the figure was just sitting there waiting for her at the doorstep she slowed down only for a quick second to get her breath. She heard another snap from a branch on of the trees show looked and saw the thing standing over her.

"Think Applebloom think!" She whispered remembering she had the rake she swung it with all the force she could bring forth and hit him in the head with the rake making his head twist a bit the rake jammed into his skull he fell to the ground only to make the filly's worst nightmare happen next. He stood up and grabbed the rake slamming the filly with the end of the rake pushing her against a tree. He snapped his neck back into place starring at the filly. She bucked him back a bit giving Applebloom enough room to run. Slendermane quickly threw the rake at the now annoying filly hitting her in the leg. The rake stuck into her leg causing her to yelp in pain and drop the ground blood leaking from the wound onto the soft dirt ground.

He moved over and towered over the filly he made his tentacles come out from his body and watched as the filly's eyes went wide with terror seeing how they moved from side to side like the princesses manes. They moved to her back leg and ripped the rake out making a bit of bone crack when removed the filly whimpered in pain. He used his tentacles to drag the blood on Applebloom making little lines around her body only to draw a perfect X and a circle on her back he picked her up before Applebloom could scream again.
