Chapter 15


“No way I’m going in there! My flank is more important than some key being kept hostage by a squirrel.” Twilight sat down in front of the door. “I will just wait here until Fluttershy comes out herself.”





“Any second now.”





“Aaaaany second now.”





If doors could be affected by stares, Fluttershy’s one have been crying. Twilight could stare at things for hours on end without even twitching once.

There was only one problem. Twilight isn’t actually great at staring; she just puts herself into a trance while keeping her eyes open. Even the most clever librarian will get tired after a few hours of doing nothing besides stare at a door.

“Aaa–ny… second… now…”





“N-no! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! What did I even do do you?!” Twilight screams at the ‘thing’ chasing her. She starts whimpering heavily. “Please don’t hurt me…”

Suddenly, more shapes raise from out of the ground, completely cutting off Twilight’s escape. “You won’t get out of here alive, unicorn.”

Twilight spins around, and looks up at shadowy object that chased her. “W-what will you do to me?”

The monster chuckles. “We will cut you open…”

It moves out of the shadow, revealing its true face.

“... with a knife made of doors. And then we will make you go through us!”





“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Twilight screamed, flailing around wildly for a moment, and snapping out of her daydream of being murdered with doors, by doors. Doors are evil, that much was sure. They all just fancy you going through them with their pretty door knobs!

Twilight turned away from the door in front of her—the sight was just too much for her to bear.

But just as she was about to extend her thoughts from simply ignoring the door to giving up entirely, she heard a soft clicking. She spun around and looked at the opening door.

“Oh, hi, Twi—”

Twilight’s eyes widened in horror at the Fluttershy before her. “No way, I’m out of here!” She teleported away.

Fluttershy blinked a few times, then sighed. “Do you still think dressing as a door is a good costume for Nightmare Night, Rarity?”
