New One Shot

So, while I was at CaperCon i attended a fanfiction panel. During said panel, the host got us all to do a freewriting session for fifteen minutes. During that time, she gave us certain prompts such as a perspective change, emotions, etc.

For mine, I wrote this. And yes, I plan to finish it eventually/soon. Hell, might even replace the other one-shot I was gonna do. I dunno. Anyway, enjoy and tell me what you think!

She walked the halls of the ship, her wings at her sides and the hair on the back of her neck standing straight. She was alone and afraid. More afraid than she had ever been in her life. The hallway was dark and the walls seemed to creek as she kept going.

She heard a noise to her left, and it sounded like movement in the room next to her as she passed the door. She picked up her pace, light yellow hooves padding as quietly as they could on the cold, metal floor. She was the only survivor, and she had no idea what to do.

She stopped abruptly as she saw a thick fluid dripping from the vent in front of her, long, clear strands of it falling to the floor below. She froze in fear and watched the puddle on the floor get bigger and bigger until eventually it stopped, followed by a rustling in the vents above her.

At that she walked slowly and carefully, keeping her hooves as she possibly could. She kept going, picking up her pace as she found a long, empty hallway to her right. There was no sound or any indication that it was there, so she bolted, using her wings to take off and fly silently through the air until she found a large, abandoned room. It was dark, with several lights flickering and hanging from the ceiling. She looked around carefully, then almost had a heart attack as she heard something thump as it landed on the floor, right behind her. She bolted to the side and looked for somewhere to hide. She looked and saw a desk with the chair laying on its side nearby, and dove underneath to escape the monster that was chasing her. She watched as the long, curved head slowly came into view, followed by the rest of the black, slippery skinned creature came through the door.

*switch perspective*

I breathe as quietly as I can, watching as it circles the room. I feel like I'm going to be sick as I remember what it had done to my friends. The monster soon walks towards my desk of safety, and I hold my breath. I can't let it find me. I need to survive and tell anyone I can about it. Most of all I need to get home to HER. My one and only. I can smell the faint scent of blood on her breath after I let her drink from me, how she would wrap her deep, midnight black wings around me and hold me against her, my head in her neck as she would gently stroke my light pink mane out of my eyes and look at me like I was no other mare on the planet...

I'm snapped out of my daydream as I see the black legs pass right in front of me. The skin so dark I can almost see a little bit of her in it. But I can smell the slime that coat's its body, along with the stench of its breath. I can't stand being where I am, but I need to if I ever want to see her again.

Before long it jumps back into the vents and rustles off. I let out the breath I was holding, and give myself a few seconds to make sure it's not coming back before I climb out and resume my journey through the halls. I watch and listen for any sign of it, but find nothing. Thank Celestia.

I keep moving towards my ultimate goal of the escape pods. I need to find one and hopefully get away from this damned place. I pass by the body of one of my closest friends; Applejack. Her eyes rolled back and her face covered in blood from the hole in her forehead. I remember how Rainbow Dash reacted when she heard about it... The tears that ran down her face, the flattening of her cyan ears, the pain in her magenta eyes. It was too much to watch. Eventually, she was killed as well. So I can assume she's happy to be with her lover again. I miss them. I miss everyone I've lost in the last few hours. Rainbow, Twilight, Rarity... I miss Rarity most of all. She was my best and closest friend, and even lover once... But it doesn't matter. I could never hate her and neither could she. It was a mutual agreement when we had broken up, and we were still as close as we were before dating after the fact.

I continue on my way to the escape shuttle. I need to find it. And soon. I round the next right turn, and find myself faced with a closed airlock door, the red light flashing above it meaning it was hazardous to enter.

Tell me what you think!
