Rainbow Dash and her companions fly east.

Awake and alone, Applejack will find a way to survive.

And here's a TV Tropes page, if you're into that kind of thing.

I was once a human. Now I'm a really strange pony. I think I'm a pony anyway. Ponies don't have weird eyes like mines though.

I don't know why this is happening. I miss my friends and family.

Above all, I think I miss my sanity. Will this nightmare ever end? Will I be set free?

During a school camping trip, the little fillies and colts of Cheerilee's class gather around a camp fire to tell each other scary stories. Some of them are boring and some of them are kinda silly. But then Diamond Tiara, the most malicious of the children, brings out a story guaranteed to scare everyone senseless. When Scootaloo decides to take a dare to go deeper into the woods alone, things go from innocent fun to a twisted fairytale abuse.
