A Horror Filled Night at 13 Dead End Drive

by Brian Sheil


6. Musicians in Danger

Later that night, Julie slips into a long sleeve deep blue nightgown covered with white stars. She looks at herself in the mirror.
I can’t wait to show the girls this nightgown. Julie thought to herself. They were all impressed with the outfit I’m wearing for my birthday party.
Julie then went to her closet to look at her outfit. A sky blue long sleeve shirt with a rainbow streaking across the middle, a long teal skirt, and a pair of blue shoes. Just then, a knock came from Julie’s door. She answers it, and it was Smothers standing there.
“What can I do for you, Smothers?” Julie asked.
“Miss Julie,” Smothers replied, “it appears that your seven friends have disappeared.”
Julie was shocked to hear that. “What? Are they in the living room?”
“I’m afraid not. And, they’re not in the guest rooms either.”
This got Julie concerned. “Smothers, call for Beauregard, Clay, Perkins, and Lulu to come over and search the outside. I’ll look around downstairs.”
“Good idea.” Smothers said. “As they say out at sea, all hands on deck!”
Taking a service elevator, Julie heads for the living room to look for her friends. Suddenly, she had a scary thought. Julie made her way to the Gallery, and saw a scary sight. “Twilight!”
See saw Twilight sitting on the floor with her hands tied behind her back, ankles tied together, and her mouth covered with duct tape. When Julie saw that Twilight is facing the armor, she rushed over to untie her.
“Thanks, Julie.” Twilight said with relief. “I was never this scared before.”
“What happened?” Julie asked.
“I was just putting on my sleepwear when a witch barged in and dragged me out. She brought me into this room, tied me up, and left me. She claimed that she’ll destroy me later.”
“No doubt, this witch planned to push down that suit of armor to squash you.”
Twilight soon got worried. “The others might be in those rooms containing those traps!”
“You may be right.” Julie replied. “Let’s check the library.”
Twilight and Julie made their way to the library. There, they saw Applejack tied to the top of the ladder. Julie then saw a bed of spikes on the floor.
“Someone set this up that when this ladder is pushed,” Julie figured, “Applejack gets shish kebabbed.”
“Not if we can help it!” Twilight said as she and Julie go over to the ladder. “I’ll use my magic to lift you up so you can untie Applejack.”
Twilight magically lifted Julie up to the top of the bookcase.
“Don’t move, Applejack.” Julie said as she reaches behind the ladder. “I’ll have you free in a minute.”
With her mouth taped shut, Applejack nodded as Julie undid the ropes holding the farm girl. When all is done, Twilight lowered Julie as Applejack climbed down the ladder.
“Whew! That was a close one.” Applejack praised.
“What happened?” Twilight asked.
“Rainbow Dash, Sunset, and I saw some weird critters drag you, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie off. We went to find y’all. Just then, some kind of geisha grabbed me and tied me to this ladder. Telling me that she’ll be back to destroy me.”
“You’re safe now.” Julie cooed.
Twilight and Applejack hugged each other. Twilight then turned to Julie. “Where next?”
Julie gave them a suggestion. “Let’s check the music room.”
The three girls made their way to the music room. They spotted Rainbow Dash gagged and staked out underneath the chandelier. Twilight looked at the set up. “Looks like someone is going to trigger the chandelier to crash on Rainbow Dash!”
“Not on my watch!” Applejack announced.
Applejack used her magical strength to remove the ropes and pull Dash away. The daredevil removed the cloth from her mouth and hugged Twilight. “I was really scared. And, that rarely happens!”
Applejack got worried. “Are you okay?”
“I sure was! I was grabbed from behind by some werewolf type beast. Next thing I knew, I was stretched out on the floor under that chandelier. I couldn’t yell for help, as you noticed.”
Julie got to thinking. “Sounds like these demons figured out a way to scare you guys so much, you’re too timid to help yourselves.”
“Good logic, Julie.” Twilight said. “But, there are still four friends missing. Let’s separate and try to save them.”
Everyone agreed.
“I’ll check the vault room." Applejack offered.
“I’ll check the trophy room.” Rainbow Dash suggested.
“The art room is mine.” Julie called out.
“And, I’ll go the dining room.” Twilight Sparkle replied.
Julie then gave some good advice. “Let’s be careful. Those beasts might still be around. Let’s all meet back at the living room.”
Everybody put their hands in the middle and they shouted together. “Break!”
They then split up to find their friends.
Inside the vault room, Applejack spotted Rarity tied to a chair, close to the safe. The farm girl rushed offer to free Rarity and ripped the tape from her mouth.
“Ouch!” Rarity shouted. “Easy, darling.”
“Sorry.” Applejack said. “How did this happen?”
“I was just putting on my nightgown when this vampire type person barged in, grabbed me, and left me bound and gagged in here.”
“Probably planned to open that safe in order to crush you with that giant piggy bank.”
Rarity started to get nervous until Applejack put her hand on her shoulder.
“Come on, Rarity.” Applejack said. “Julie said to meet her in the living room.”
Rarity felt some relief. Rainbow Dash found her way to the trophy room. And she was shocked. “Flutters!”
Tied to a pole and gagged, Fluttershy looked at the eyes of the boar’s head. Rainbow zipped to her, quickly untied her, and took her out of the room.
“It was terrible, Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy cried. “Some werewolf grabbed me and left me here, saying she’ll be back to kill me.”
“I was attacked by a werewolf too.” Rainbow Dash informed. “She left me to be crushed by the chandelier in the music room.”
Fluttershy cried in Rainbow Dash’s arms. Dash tries to comfort her. “It’ll be okay, Fluttershy. Julie said to go to the living room. Come on.”
Meanwhile, Julie looked around the art room. She then spotted Pinkie Pie bound and gagged on top of a staircase. At the bottom, she saw a bear trap.
These creeps arranged for Pinkie to be pushed down the stairs, then get snapped in two by this bear trap. Julie figured. Not tonight!
Julie carefully pulled the bear trap away from the stairs. Then, walks up and unties Pinkie.
“That was very scary.” Pinkie confesses. “I was just looking at myself in my cuddly PJs when this geisha person grab me and pull me away. Next thing I knew, I was on the top of the stairs unable to call for help.”
“You’re safe now, Pinkie.” Julie comforted. “Let’s head for the living room.”
In the dining room, Twilight saw Sunset Shimmer sitting on the floor by the fireplace. Bound and gagged the same way she was.
“Somebody wants to burn Sunset to a crisp!” Twilight shouted. “Not if I can help it!”
Twilight untied Sunset and pulled the tape from her mouth.
“Thanks, Twi.” Sunset Shimmer praised. “I was sweating bullets for a while.”
“How did this happen?” Twilight wondered.
“I was looking for you and others when this vampire showed up and put me in this situation.”
Twilight hugged her friend, relieve that she’s safe. “Don’t worry, Sunset. Nothing bad will happen you.”
“Thanks, Twilight.” Sunset praised.
“Come on. Julie said to meet her in the living room.”
