Twilight Sparkle awoke with a sharp intake of breath, a dry scream stuck in her throat, unable to come out. The only thing that came out was a choked out 'Celestia.' A bead of sweat rolled off her forehead. She was terrified of something, but what?

She quickly surveyed her surroundings. Her bedroom was all she saw. Nothing out of the usual.

“I must have just had a very bad dream.” She thought.

She stood up and looked at the little green dragon sleeping in his basket at end of the room. Twilight stopped to watch his chest go up and down. She grinned slowly, then going to the door. She gave one last look at the sleeping dragon before exiting her bedroom.

The kitchen was dark and had a very stuffed air to it. She went over to the refrigerator and opened it. It was very empty.

“I´ll buy something when the sun dawns.” She thought.

Moving over to the sink, she turned it on and brought a glass down from a cupboard, bringing it under the tap. The glass filled quickly and she turned the water off. She brought the glass to her lips and took a big sip. The water was the perfect temperature for drinking.

“Wonderful.” She thought while taking another sip.

She sat down at the table, placing the glass on it and sinking her head into her hooves as she slowly drifted into thought.

“What was my dream? What did I dream of that made me scream out my teachers name?” She rubbed her head as she tried to wrap her mind around the thought.

She finally gave up, drank the last bit of water and left for her bed again. She lay down onto it and closed her eyes, when suddenly a face flashed in front of her. It was the face of a strange creature, and it had a serious look. It had had bright blue eyes and a black “mane” on its head. She opened her eyes more quickly than she thought she had ever done. She was sitting up and staring at the wall, her mind deep within thought.

She sat there for about five minutes until she slowly opened her mouth and spoke a few words she had never heard before. She spoke them like she was reading it out of a book, yet it was in her memory.

“Prepare for unforeseen consequences.”

Her face went blank as she thought of the words. The eerie feeling of magic was in the air, but she didn’t recognize it. It was a sort of dark presence. It didn’t make her afraid, but it made her feel very strange, like something was watching her.

She quickly looked around the room as paranoia kicked in. Her sight finally resting on the window. There was nothing there, but she felt the very strange feeling stronger when she looked at it. She stepped out of her bed and walked over to the window. Her eyes looked all around the landscape outside her window, until her sight finally rested on a weird figure in the distance down the road outside the window.

Her eyes inspected the creature, which was almost twice as tall as her. It wore some sort of blue tuxedo and had a briefcase in his right.. “Paw I guess?” She thought. She stopped breathing and her eyes went into a horror filled stare as she

recognized the creature. It was the creature from her dream!

“That can´t be right.” She whispered to herself.

She quickly turned around and ran out the door, with no respect for the sleeping dragon, but he didn’t seem to mind as he was still sleeping. She practically flew down the flight of stairs and charged out of her door, failing to notice she had left it open in her haste. The pebbles that made up the road crashed as she set her quickly ran over it. She followed the road around her house and stopped. She looked over the road and saw nothing. That eerie feeling in her mind popped up again.

She ran towards the place where the creature has stood and looked all around. The creature was standing a good forty meters from where she was standing, at the entrance to the Everfree Forest. At first it just stood there, looking at her. Then it turned around and slowly walked into the forest behind some trees.

Twilight ran to the entrance of the forest where the creature had stood just about ten seconds ago.  Every thought of her following it hit a brick wall as she was frozen in place at the entrance of the forest.

“I can´t enter the Everfree forest at night, that’s crazy. I could get killed!” She spoke out loud.

She let out sigh and turned around. She felt the sting of that weird feeling again, but she didn’t turn around. She kept walking at a slow pace. When she came to the door, the feeling disappeared, as if it had never been there in the first place. She looked paranoid over her shoulder as she entered the door and closed it behind her.

“I will send a message to Princess Celestia tomorrow. Asking if she knows anything about this mysterious creature.” She

thought as she trotted up the stairs to her bedroom.

She quickly glanced over to the small dragon in the basket, who was still sleeping sound as ever. She let out a relieved sigh and returned to her bed.

She awoke as sunbeams of Celestia´s sun danced across her face. She sat up and looked over to the basket. It was empty.

The smell of pancakes filled her nostrils. She slowly crawled her way out of the bed and stood on all four. The memories of last night filled her head, as if she had forgotten. Her thoughts lingered on the subject for a few moments until she pushed them out of her mind and made her way downstairs.

“Oh, good morning Twilight!” The dragon said excitingly.

“Good morning, Spike.” She said with a tired voice.

The overexcited dragon heard the tiredness in her voice and slowly asked.

“You seem tired, I mean more than usual.”

She thought about it for a moment whether to or not tell him about the events of yesterday. She quickly decided against it and said.

“I had a very bad dream last night, that’s all.”

“Do you remember it?” Spike asked cautiously.

She again questioned herself again whether to tell him, but her mind decided the same.

“No, it was just a blur, though I remember that it was terrifying. I woke up covered in sweat.” She said with her obvious lying voice.

Spike noticed but decided not to dig any deeper.

“Alright. I made some pancakes if you want. Their over there on the table. I also went shopping, since we were a little… under stocked.” He said.

“Very good, then I won´t have to. Thank you.” She said with relief in her voice that her lie worked, whether he was ignoring it or didn’t notice it she didn’t know.

“You welcome.” He responded.

She sat down and began to chew on her pancakes. As silence filled the air, her mind was brought back to last night. She was unable to rib her mind from it, it seemed. The sentence again flew across her mind. Prepare for unforeseen consequence. She wondered what the sentence meant. She knew what it meant, but what it REALLY meant.

She ripped herself out of her thoughts, quickly finished her meal and sent over to her desk. The desk was filled with quills, ink and empty scrolls. She pulled out one of each, dipped the quill in the ink and began to write.
