Prologue : Unhappy Birthday

It was a late night at the rock farm, the moon was high in the sky and all the ponies were sound asleep after a hard day's work, but accept for one little pink pony as she jumps up and down on her bed with a bright smile on her face.

''Pinkie pie would you please go to sleep!'' said a grumpy young filly as she buries her face in her pillow.
''But I can't I'm just so excited!'' said Pinkie Pie as she stares at her sister.
''we know you're excited pinky but please can it wait till morning'' said a shy filly as she looks at her sister.
''How can I not be excited tomorrow is granny's birthday!'' she yells as she look at her sisters with a bright smile as continues to jump up and down.
''We know you've been talking about it all month, I don't see why you're so excited we've threw birthday parties for her before!'' said the grumpy filly as she looks at her sister with annoyance.
''Yes but it will be the first birthday party I ever threw!'' she says with confidence.

Before her sister could reply the door to their bedroom slowly opens to an old mare with a gray mane and silver coat and a lantern in her mouth. She looks at the fillies and slowly walks in and puts the lantern down on a near table and looks at the fillies and smiles as she approaches them and the little pink filly jumps to the old mare and screams.

''granny!'' she yells as she wraps her hooves around her leg and looks up to her granny.
''Pinkamena Diane pie, what are you doing up so late and causing a fuss!'' she says with concern and worry as looks at the filly.
''I'm sorry granny I'm just so excited to throw a birthday party for you I can't stop thinking about what kind of game to play or what kind of cake to bake or what present you would like and-'' she kept saying but was stop buy a hoof to her lips she looks up to her granny with worry.
''Don't worry Pinkie whatever you do is fine and I will love whatever you have planned!'' as she calm down the filly.
''I know granny it's just that you always look sad and worried you're not supposed to be sad you should be happy!'' she says with sadness in her eyes.
''Yeah granny why do you seem so sad on your birthday?'' said Blinkie Pie as she asks her with curiosity.
''Yes granny is there something wrong?'' asks Inky Pie.

''no there's nothing wrong sweetie'' she says as she picks up the young filly and places her on the bed and tuck her in the blanket.
'' It's just that getting old does that to you honey. I may look sad on the outside but I'm very happy in the inside, and I'm worried that you might get bored being around old granny'' she says as she kisses the filly head.

'' Don't say that granny you're the most fun and nicest pony ever!'' she says with sadness.
''yeah!'' says the two sisters.
'' okay okay'' she says laughing but stops to hear something and quickly turns around to look for the source of the sound but saw nothing.
'' are you ok granny!?'' asks Pinkie with worry for her granny.
'' Yes Pinkie I'm-'' she stops as she looks at the far corner of the room eyes widen sweat slowly dripping from her face and quickly closes her eyes.

''uhh granny?'' Pinkie asks but she did not respond and starts mumbling something.
'' granny!'' her voice rising.

''granny!'' asks Pinky Pie getting a little scared

''GRANNY!'' yells Blinkie as she starts to get worried.

''what?'' the granny open her eyes and looks around quickly breathing heavily sweat dripping
'' granny are you okay you started shaking and mumbling something should I go get papa?!'' says Pinkie as she gets out of bed.
'' no no, its okay dear. I'm just a little tired and you should just head to bed now!'' she says quickly as she stops the filly.
"are you sure are? you really really Sure?" Pinkie asks with concern and with worry.
''Yes Pinkie I'm sure I just need some sleep and so do you" she says as she picks up the filly and put her in bed and goes to pick up the lantern and walk to the door and says goodnight.

" What do you think is wrong with granny?" Inky asks her sisters.
" I don't know" says Pinkie with a sad face.
" We should ask Papa in the morning!" says Blinkie as she looks at her sisters.

Meanwhile in old mare is walking down the hall lantern in mouth as she walks she hears a whisper behind her.

" we see you"

The old mare was to afraid to turn around so she starts walking a bit faster to her room. The more she walks the more she hears whispers around her until she reaches her room, the whispers getting louder and louder. She opens the door and looks outside her room to see nothing and quickly closed the door and lets out sigh of relief

" we see you"

The old mare tried to turns around but could not. As she drops her lantern, darkness slowly swarms around her and her body starts to slowly turn around. She closed her eyes and did not dare to open them afraid to see what she feared, but slowly her eyes were forced open to review nothing to darkness she starts to breathe quickly but slowly eyes started to appear in the darkness she struggles to break free as darkness slowly covers her eyes she hears;

" you can't hide"

Not a single Pony heard the screams from that room.
