Rarity first noticed something was wrong in Manehattan.
Then whatever it was followed her home.
Or was it already there?
Something dark and sinister is chasing Rarity, and she has to find out what it is, and what it intends. Because if this predator is who she thinks it is, she's not entirely sure she doesn't want to be caught.
Written for a Quills and Sofas AU contest. (This story tied for first with another story by garatheauthor, which hasn't been published at this time but she's still amazing and needs to be followed if you're not.)
Prereading by several Quills and Sofas authors.

Since this is the very first time I've ever tried to write anything even remotely spooky, that's high praise! Thank you!
I remember reading this during the speedwrite reading time, and loving the aspects of predator play in this.
Quite the chilling story, with subtle description and powerful emotions across the board. Truly, a great piece of work here, glad I could help with the cover.
Well done! Lots of detail throughout and great characterization!
Been a while since I've read anything 1st Person, very chilling and nice pace.
I agree on it being a wonderful read.

Thank you! I don't usually write first person, but I felt the story's tone needed it. I'm really glad it worked.
WOW!! I love this! The subtleties, the descriptions, the chills! A masterpiece! I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Well, there's more chapters planned. And the sequel's already written! (Hehehe)
And I do have a few other stories...
Perhaps it's because I read it recently, but so far this story reminds me of "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter. While that one is a variant on an old fairy tale, I think your story encapsulates a similar sense of the seduction of horror and the macabre. At least, so far.
Kudos!
Greetings from your neighbour at the Reviewer's Mansion! Have a review!
Next time she visits, leave her a pile of rice.

I don't suppose you have a estimated time of release for the next chapter? Looking forward to more of this.

Honestly, I don't know. I got about halfway done with the chapter, then realized I hated it.
Am I gonna write it someday? Oh yeah. But right now I'm focusing on my epic, everything else has taken a bit of a backseat for now.

Ok.
