Starting the walk is always easy, it's the end you dread. The end of where you’re going stirs up a fear that was given by entering Suger Cube Corner. But it also raises questions about what happened here, Pinkie failed to mention anything excluding that she told you about a mysterious being referenced by Pinkie as it. Too many questions yet no answers besides the vague information you received. Which seems to just cause more questions than actual answers. You hear a door creak open nearby.
Freezing in your tracks, you look around nervously for the source. The door that opened was a mere ten feet away from you, with it cracked open just barely enough for you to see four eyes two were an orange color while the second pair was a blue. Unsure of what to do you take a couple steps back. The two pairs of iris's follow you but otherwise make no move toward you. The staring contest goes on for quite a bit a time, it's unknown how long it lasted an hour? A minute? That is long lost to history.
You decide to test if the two ponies if they were ponies, would do anything besides stare. Taking a step to the right resulted in the eyes following your movement but no action. It was a small test but if they weren't going to do anything then you're going to move on. When you started back on your way to the cloud house, the door creaked open more, revealing two mares there coat colors were mint green and tan . They didn’t move any farther but it unsettles you. So, you keep an eye on them every step of the way until you couldn’t.
The exact moment at which you weren't looking at the door, the pair decide that was the time to move. Hearing hoof steps behind you, you turn around only to jump back in surprise. They were only a couple hoof steps away. In the light you can see their manes, the mint green unicorn has a light blue and white striped mane. The tan earthpony has a blue and pink mane. Their expressions were blank no care in their eyes. Looking at them now, you see that their not moving at all not even a hair out of place. Taking a few steps back just in case, you close your eyes to test your theory. Once your eyelids shut the hoof steps continue at a faster pace this time. Abandoning all reason you start to run not check how close they might have gotten.
The two mares, however, keep the pace, you keep running in the vain hope they’ll just leave you alone. Just keep running is the only thing on your mind. You run through the streets taking turns in alleyways and sharp turns in streets sometimes hiding behind something, yet they keep finding you or somehow keep up. You feel your strength start to give way as the day starts to conclude. The running is draining your strength, you need to find a place to hide lest they find you. You are running down yet another street when you notice that you have lost the mares for the moment.
Taking the precious time into account you bolt toward the nearest door opening and closing it quietly behind you. Might as well have been just in time too as you hear hoof steps outside. The two ponies split up outside judging how their steps gradually separated. After what seemed like forever, they finally moved on. Sighing in relief, you take out a journal and write down the experiences among other events of the day down. When that was done you take off your saddlebags, placing them by the couch. The day's events take their toll on you, the only way to pay them is to sleep. You fall on the couch snout first, within seconds you fall to the confines of sleep.
As you sleep the dust twirls around in an endless dance in the air aimlessly, the house settles happily now that it contains a pony once more even though said pony wasn’t the original occupant. They carried no ill intent so the house let them stay. Making sure the doors were locked and the windows shut as the house didn’t want the pony to be a victim to what stalked out there while in their slumber. Like a silent sentinel, the house watched through the night, watching for what once were ponies sulking in the darkness waiting for dawn's light to break over the horizon. The night was uneventful as the house expected as the ‘ponies’ out there had not a clue where to look and moved off to other places to hide or search.
Yawning you wake up, at first your confused at your surroundings until your remember yesterday. Getting up quickly as you wanted to get to this cloud house as fast as possible lest those two ponies catch you. Grabbing your saddlebags you put them on and walk out the door being careful about it. You shut the door only for you to slam the door due to it being loose, the door slam was like ringing a bell yelling ‘Here I am!’. As if on cue the two mares from the day before step out from behind a house stopping the immediate time they came within my vision. You remember how this works. So instead of turning tail and running, you walk backward at a brisk pace keeping your eyes locked on them.
Everything was going to be fine, You think what could go wrong? The mint green unicorn seemingly picked up on my positivity and smiled not that nice warm smile friendly smile, the cold smile that says ‘I win’. You're filled with dread. While backing up you bump into something turning your head you see to your despair that there were five other ponies behind you with the same smile. Now there are many ways you can deal with this, you could have fought, you could try to reason with them, you could let them win(Unlikely), you could have backed off slowly keeping your eyes on all seven of them but no you like last time you turn tail and run.
Like last time, they started to chase you except, this time, there were seven of them which made this whole situation all the worse. You keep running keeping within the general direction of the cloud house. The ponies hot on your trail, gaining on you by the second. As if fate decided that you had enough you see the cloud house on the ground thankfully. You make a dash for it getting to the entrance in half the time. Turning around to see the progress of the ponies you see that they stopped just at the edge of the cloud. They look at you and look at the house back and forth as if deciding if it was worth it or not. In the end, the walked away still sulking nearby should you leave.
Uneasily you open the door and step into the house. Wondering what could scare them not to come in here. What could scare the hunter from becoming the hunted?
