	Over the next couple years I never thought much of what I had went through, In no time at all it seemed like everyone had moved on and what was done was done. The three of us eventually earned our cutie marks, Applebloom got hers in art and painting. Sweetie Belle got hers in singing, and I got mine when I became a professional stunt performer. All the same I still every once in awhile will go to the front gate of Alucard manor, and I look in and remember everything. Most people just see the front of an empty old hospital/mansion but I will forever see the horrors that I had endured inside. Sometimes I swear I can see a tall dark shadow looming around inside, as if he's watching me, the only one to ever escape his grasp.I walked away from the building and I went back to the town.

A few months later I was sitting on my pouch looking into the city and then out of nowhere I can see Alucard walking up the road wearing a large black hat to shield his face from the sun and he was covered completely as to not have any of his skin touch the sunlight. I watch in disbelief as he walked strait up to me, in the same voice that he had all those yeas ago he said.

"Hello Scootaloo, did you miss me? I certainly missed you." and he gave that unsettling toothish grin that only he could give. "I saw you outside and that you didn't want to come in."

"What are you doing here Alucard, your not welcome here." I said as firmly as I could.

"Oh you can just sneak into my house with out permission but I have to call ahead? How is that fair?" he said in an eerie tone.

"Well at least I left you alone, I didn't stalk you afterward."

"Oh so you standing at my gate's is different from me standing at your porch?"

"Just go away, I don't ever want to see you again."

"Fine you'll be rid of me. I just wanted to know have you seen Heidevolk since your escape?"

"No I haven't, he said we would probably never see each other again."

"Petty, I suppose he really did age six hundred years all at once then."

"What?"

"Oh yeah a side effect of the time spell is when you get out how ever long you were in there for is how much you age. so he is probably no more than a pile of dust somewhere. Oh well, nice seeing you Scootaloo, feel free to drop by any time you wish." and with that Alucard left while laughing and smiling evilly to himself.

With that I never visited the house again for fearing that I may somehow still be connected to it. I lived the rest of my life never thinking about the house itself but remembering what it did to me. I'll still never escape it though...
