Chapter II: A Presence.

It was a strange expirence what happened to Fluttershy.We didn't know what to think that night.Fluttershy couldn't sleep till probably 4 am, she kept going on and on how she saw the 'white pony'. I felt like just putting it behind my back and just move on for tonight, I figured she was imagining things.I mean, we did just move in after all.But..something happened the next day..with Twilight..

Twilight scanned her books and levitated her feather pen on her scrolls as she continued reading through her books. She felt bad for rejecting her friends's offer to go out for lunch, but she had to finish her studies and send her report on friendship to Princess Celestia. She poundered more into it as she finished on the 4th book. She sighed and put it down,putting the scroll and book in their place. She walked out of her room, stretching her body, before hearing a soft 'click' sound,making her ears perk up.

"Guys,Is that you?",she yelled out, walking through the hall, before turning her head to the right, seeing the door to the sole room of the third floor opened. Twilight grumbled and used her horn to close it again. "This is the 5th time this week.."

The 3rd floor door had kept opening since they moved into the house. It wasn't really anything special about it, it bassicly was just a single room with just a chair there.Nobody took it as their own, as it was very cold up there,nobody knew why, as the windows were always shut.

Twilight trotted downstairs of the house to the living room,walking to kitchen to make some tea. As she used her horn to make the soothing drink, she began to hear something, it was really hard to understand, it was very vague. The unicorn turned her head and looked, horn still glowing.

"Hello?Spike is that you?", she asked, but she knew that wasn't Spike, as he went to do some work at Canterlot for Princess Luna. She slowly shrugged it off, thinking she was probably imagining things after so much studying. She finished making her tea and walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. As she began to drink the hot liquid, she slowly began to drift. Twilight yawned and put her cup on the table before fading into her thoughts..

She woke up finding herself in her bedroom, the smell of fire and smoke filling her lungs. She coughed and got up, the floor was engulfed by the flames, burning everything. She didn't see her friends or her baby dragon. Infact..she didn't see the furniture her fashionista friend placed in the house. All she saw was strange pentagrams and spray canned undescribable writing all over the walls. She rushed downstairs, only to see the fires running throughout the house. The smoke entered her lungs once more, making it harder to breathe.She couldn't escape, everything was blocked on the bottom floor.The entrance was blocked by a fallen piece of the 2nd floor  as was the back door also. She ran to the bay window and felt her body crash onto the glass before slamming onto the pavement of the street. The shards stabbing her sides made her cringe in pain. She looked up to see the house engulfed in flames, seeing a figure staring at her from the window..

"Twilight..Twilight..TWILIGHT!"

Twilight woke up with a jolt,looking to see her friends staring at her with concern.It was Applejack who was calling her name. She stroked the unicorn's mane with a firm look. "Twi, you alright?You were jumping and coughing like a crazy. Ah, along with the others were getting worried..",she said.

Twilight shook her head, the dream felt so real..the house on fire, the symbols..that figure..She looked up at Applejack and gave a forced smile. "It was just a bad dream.It's nothing to worry about."

Pinkie tilted her head. 'It must have been ONE messed up one!",she said,giving her goofy smile. The group chuckled,Twilight getting up and stretching. "How was lunch?",she asked.As the girls talked among themselves, Pinkie Pie, however, trotted upstairs, wanting to just simply check on Gummy. As she walked into the hall to her room, she noticed the 3rd room door open yet again. Her eyes furrowed and walked towards it,tilting her head.

"Why is this door always open?",she asked, before closing it shut. As she walked into her room, it opened quietly and slowly..

Lights looked at Rainbow with a off look. "She never told you bout this dream?",she asked.Dash nodded her head for no. "She ended up telling it to us a week later. She told us it wasn't serious when it happened that day...that was until..",she sighed. "Until it became more noticeable that there was something in that house.."

Dash looked down dismally and began again.
