LightBolt walks though the town with his bag on his back. He makes his way to the forest. Before going into the forest, he pulls out his journal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Year: 1992, Month: October, Day: 5th. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today I woke up to a tapping sound from inside my house. I looked for where it came from. When I was looking around, I ended up seeing my journal on the front door. I was just at reaching distance, I was wondering what was going on. I wanted to see if my door magically unlocked itself. Well it did. I looked back down at my journal and see the quill was hanging out, acting like a book mark. I turned to the page. It was just sloppy mess with ink splats all over the page. All I can make out is, 'Back To The Fores-'. I'm going to go back to the forest and see what this thing wants. I'm going to face it and make it stop following me. Then i'll go back to Daisy. Sign out. ~LightBolt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LightBolt places his journal in his bag and pulls his bag on his back. "Here I come!" LightBolt yell out loud angry as he dashes into the EverFree forest as fast as he can. Clip, clop, clip, clop. He runs faster and faster. Next thing LightBolt sees is the vary misty fog. Not being able to see much he swiftly leans side to side avoiding the trees. "If you want me then you'll need to get me!" he yells louder as he runs. The misty fog slowly lightens up to where the lake would be. LightBolt plants his hooves hard into the ground to stop his run. The sudden stop of LightBolt leaves two scars on the face of the ground. LightBolt stands looking at a small house. "The... The lake is gone..." he say as he looks around. The lake he fully remembers from his last trip is gone. Their are no puddles, no muddy areas. The ground is dry. He walks over to the front door of the small house. Checking the outside of the house is a normal door and windows, but the blinds are down. LightBolt slowly pushes the door open. The house is dark, but it had a strange dim glow. Clip, clop, clip, clop. He makes his way though the house. In the house is a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and a room looks like a work room. LightBolt walks over to the room that seems to be the work room. Clip, clop, clip, clop. LightBolt sees book shelves lining the wall to a desk. The chair is knocked over, as if the pony in it fall down. Clip, clop, clip, clop. Lightbolt stands at the desk with a paper and candle laying on a table mat. LightBolt looks around for a match or something to light the candle to see better. He opens the drawer and finds box of matches. LightBolt pulls out one and lights the candle to see. When the candle is lit he reads the paper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Journal to: (the name is marked out) Year:1990, Month: September, Day: 21. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My days are getting closer to the end. I'v been trying to hide from this thing that has been following me... I though the last place it would look is in the forest it found me in. I kept myself busy researching on what this thing could be. It's just un-normal. It has been following me for weeks. It's hard to drink, to eat, to sleep, or to relax with this... Thing... After me. I've only found little information about it. To my knowledge, is that it has been alive for centuries. Living in the forest. It looks lik- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The unfinished E was a line leading to the end of the paper. At the bottom made LightBolt freeze. Slowly he pulls out his journal and opens to the page to the ink spatted in his journal, it matches. The sloppy writing with the ink splats. Looking at the paper, the only thing he can pick out is 'He's Mine Now...' LightBolt's heart race hard so hard it felt like it was going to brake out of his rib cage. Suddenly the front door slams shut. LightBolt looks at the door leading to the kitchen. He hears foot steps. Quickly he blows out the candle and gets under the desk. He slowly places his journal in his bag and waits. Slowly the foot steps grow louder and louder, but they stop where it sounds like door to the work room. For a few moment, silence filled the room. Right when LightBolt was going to look out over the desk, the thing stands right where he was hiding. LightBolts world froze as he looks at the long, thing legs leading to the feet that are wrapped in dark fancy shoes. LightBolt can tell this is not a pony. It was more humanoid then anything he can think of. It just stands their as LightBolt is frozen in fear, 'Is this the end...' he ask himself in his mind. What was just a few moments, felt like a year of waiting before the thing walks away. When it sounded like he just left the room, the frount door slowly creaked open. LightBolt slowly takes his time to get out from under the desk. He looks at the room. The books are missing and the doors are gone. He looks down and sees the paper and candle gone. LightBolt's heart bests so hard that makes his legs shake as he makes his way around the desk. He sees foot prints leading out of the house, but they slowly fade away. LightBolt walks out of the house as fast as he can hoping that the thing was gone. He slowly pulls out his journal and quill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Year:1992, Month: October, Day: 5th. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I found a house where the lake I found the first time walking in the forest... But... Somepony lived their... He or she was trying to hide form it as well... But... It got him or her... On the bottom of the last page he or she was writing had the writing of that thing... It said that he or she is its now... Am I the next victim to this things game? I need to find help as fast as I can before I ended up like the last. The thing following me is vary old so it won't be easy to hide from it... It toys with its victims mind before it take him or her. I need to get back to town and look for anypony that can help... Sign out ~LightBolt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LightBolt quickly places his journal bag. He takes a strong and deep breath to get his body to stop shaking. He quickly runs off back to where he came form. He runs though the misty fog again. 'Why can't this fog go away!' he yells in his mind. He runs as fast as he can and maintain the speed for as long as he can. Avoiding the trees one by one. For an hour of running LgihtBolt slowly stops to get a fast drink from his bottle and put it back. Then he looks around, all he can see is the misty fog and trees. LightBolt sees a tall slim like humanoid figure. He quickly shakes the fear off and runs in the other way. For a few moments he stops himself to looks back. When it felt like a good moment, he takes a small glance behind him. 'Thonk' was the last thing LightBolt heard when his world gone dark...
