"Sis could you keep it down." Sweetie Belle called out after hearing what sounded like something scraping. The scraping continued on the window. Sweetie got up from her bed and opened the window seeing nothing there but pure blackness out side. She mumbled a few words as she went back to laying back down. The scraping happened again on her window. "Ha very funny Rarity." Sweetie said as she heard loud snoring from the room next to her. The scraping became faster and faster louder and louder. Just as quickly as it started it stopped.

"Dumb stick and dumb wind." Sweetie said as she turned her body from the window.

The scraping started again almost like it was calling her to come outside. She awoke fully and grabbed a flash light shaking it a bit so the light would not dim out from her weak magic. Sweetie went to the front door and heard the scraping now coming from the back of the house.

"What the hay is going on around here!" Sweetie Belle shouted walking to the back of the house. Rarity was still snoring she sure is a heavy sleeper.Sweetie thought.

Sweetie ran to the back and opened the door only to see nothing but the dim moonlit ground and blackness of the parts the moon could not touch. "Show your self!" Sweetie shouted as the door slammed shut behind her making her scream. She ran to the door to try and open it. It was locked. She banged on the door trying to awake Rarity after a few minutes Sweetie gave up on banging on the door as Rarity was still asleep. Sweetie looked around to see nothing by her.  "Crack." Sweetie jumped hearing a stick crack in the distance.

"Who....wh....who's there." She choked out weakly. No response no sound it almost sounded peaceful if Sweetie Belle was not panicked.

"Come out and show your self coward!" Sweetie Belle yelled trying to make her sound bold. "Crack."Another stick cracked in the same area as before in the forest...."Why don't you talk?" Sweetie asked shining her flash light's narrow beam into the woods.

She saw nothing in there. b=But she knew something was in there. She just didn't want to believe something was in there. She walked into the blackness that stretched before her carefully trying to not to make any sound.

"Crunch"....."crack"...."crunch....snap!"

The sounds were all around her she looked everywhere and kept wandering something was calling her and she knew it. She lightly trotted into a full panicked gallop as she heard another snap from a branch. Her panicked running had gotten her lost and she knew it she looked all around again. She heard another crack come from behind her. Sweetie closed her eyes terrified to open them at what she would see.

"Nothing is there Sweetie Belle you are just panicking for nothing...on the count of three I'll turn around and nothing will be there. 1..........2...." She stopped herself from counting.

She quickly started running again, her lungs and heart working harder then they had ever done before her pure white coat becoming sweat stained. She kept running and she did not know why if nothing was there why was she running! Sweetie thought as she kept running until she stopped. She saw something on a tree that looked like a letter.

"Don't let it touch you!"..... The note said and on the back of the paper a perfect circle with an X through it.

"What does this mean?" Sweetie asked herself. Her breath picking back up as her adrenaline kicked back in. The blackness in the woods became darker making the flashlight seem useless in the blackness it almost seemed like a void of pure dark. Sweetie felt something behind her this time.

"Sis is that you?" Sweetie asked as she turned around and shrieked in horror at what she saw. It was an alicorn with a pure black horn that made the blackness of the night seem bright compared to it. Her eyes grew wider and wider as she saw the next thing on him his face.... It looked like Rarity's manikins the thing had no eyes.....but it some how followed her! Where there should have been a nose there was nothing a mouth nothing.....ears nothing but yet the thing could hear her!

She looked and saw a dark black suit around his body making his horn and the night seem like the light of the sun....even if they were combined. A red neck tie hung around his neck like a noose of red death. Sweetie was terrified as she saw black tentacles that came out from his body. Sweetie Belle dropped her flashlight in fear....she tried to scream it was to late the hunter got his prize.
