Twilight Sparkle is a student at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. She loves to learn all she can about magic and the world that surrounds her. But lately... something strange has been happening. It may be nothing. It may just be a product of her imagination, or the heavy stress she's been under since her studies started.

There's no way she just heard a voice in the dark.

This was both frightening and intriguing. Also, very sweet with that scene with Celestia and Twilight at the end. During the fic, I was gripped and with my mind constantly making comparisons to the Doctor Who episode "Listen". Was there really something in there with her or was Twilight just being paranoid? Who can say...

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOPE!

I DON'T WANT TO RETYPE THAT COMMENT SO I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT'S FREAKIN NIGHT TIME FOR ME, I'M ALL ALONE, ALL THE LIGHTS ARE OFF, AND IT'S THE MOST SILENT I HAVE EVER HEARD MY NEIGHBORHOOD BEING, AND FOR F:yay:S SAKES THAT BETTER BE MY CAT OPENING MY DOOR.

First person perspective complimented the mood nicely.
Unfortunately after reading this fully my mind imagined a different more whimsical perspective on the story. My theory (which shouldn't be taken seriously) is that another student used a spell on a spider to give it the ability to communicate. The spider then escaped by drilling a hole in the window and crawing to the statue garden. There he is tormented by whatever's in there along with Discord. The spider returns to the castle to escape this torture and proceeded to use "The Voice" for nefarious purposes.

I look forward to it. :eeyup:

I fail to see how being alone with a cat in the middle of the night with no other witnesses can bring you comfort, but to each their own.

How did you figure it out?

But you see.

It doesn't.

“It’s alright, Twilight. Everything is alright now,” Celestia said.

Sucks that

or whatever you used doesn't work in comments, though.

Who or what is the voice? Tell me so I can send it to my worst enemy and let them suffer from this "Voice" :heart::pinkiecrazy:

I could feel fur, I could feel feathers, I felt skin and I felt scales.

I wonder who could have such a chaotic body...

Discord... Holy shi- (and now I'm dead) I love you Mr author person:heart::pinkiecrazy:

This was an excellent use of first person POV. Whatever your intent was concerning the voice, in my view it was Discord somehow sensing FROM HIS STONE PRISON that Twilight Sparkle would be the cause of his undoing and attempting to nip the problem in the bud, either by actually harming her, or, worse, rendering her insane.

UPVOTED.

I won't confirm nor deny anything... :duck:
Though you're very, very close to the mark.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Nicely written.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :pinkiesmile:

That was amazingly good! It took me two or three read throughs, but, I think I figured it out.

The voice was Discord, reaching out from his statue and feeding upon Twilight's magic, and or emotions, until he was strong enough to possess her. Also, the reason he never even tried to discord her, was from the protection Celestia left on her when she defeated him.

Of course I could be WAYYYYY off. Not the first time that it has happened. Once again, awesome story!:twilightsmile:

Glad you liked it. I always try to write with a clear plot in mind, and yet leave things just vague enough for the reader to make up their own explanations.

Let's just say you've got most of the details right.

7280456
Awesome, i'll take that! Once again fantastic!

It's Nightmare Moon!

_______Not quite._______

Huh. Weird. But cool at the same time I guess.

I couldn't help but see this as the ghost of some playful filly who just wanted a friend...

Well, until the possession, lol

Whoa what a spooky story, I quite enjoyed it though. Feels like it was Discord or at least someone in the stone gardens. Thanks for sharing
