It was a summer morning. In a cottage, there was a family. Mostly everypony knew them as the Shy family. Mr. Shy and Mrs. Shy were going on a weekend vacation. Leaving there 18-year-old daughter Fluttershy in charge.

"Are you sure your good by yourself dear?" asked Mrs. Shy giving her daughter this worried look.

"I'm fine mother, you two go and have a good time," Fluttershy assuring her mother was old enough to watch herself.

Mr. Shy walked in giving his daughter the same worried look. Fluttershy already knew he was about to ask her the same question.

"Father I'm fine you go," said Fluttershy kind of upset thinking her parents didn't trust her.

"Ok then let's set some ground rules. One, if you make a mess clean it up. Two, If someone at the door call the police and hide. And three, Don't. Go. In. The. Forest. Okay????" said Mrs. Shy in a firm tone.

"I knoooooow not go in the forest!!!" said Fluttershy annoyed because her parents told her that since she was a little foal to not go in the forest.

"Alright we're going see you soon honey love you," said Mr. Shy and Mrs. Shy kissed her on her cheek and then left.

"I wonder what is so bad about the forest?" Fluttershy asked herself.

Hours when by and Fluttershy still had the thoughts of the forest. Most of the people at her school said that she was just scared to go and using her parents to cover her. And this made upset she was not scared. She was going to go to that forest and come back out perfectly fine. Fluttershy walked outdoor and she was happy it was noon. It took a few minutes for her to reach the tip of the forest. Fluttershy took a deep breath and walked in. Fluttershy knew she kept hearing swigs break behind her, but that was not going to stop her. Then she heard a animals cry in the distance. Fluttershy ran to the noise. What happens next makes Fluttershy wished she never came.
