Story #2

I lived in Ponyville with my parents for most of my life until I moved out just yesterday. But I would occasionally hear hoofsteps outside every night but I didn't give it much thought. Dad sleepwalks most nights so I used to think that it was him outside almost every night. It wasn't until five weeks ago when I was proven wrong.

I woke up one night to the sound of a twig snapping, what disturbed me was that it was right outside my bedroom window. Instead of looking at the window, which I should've done, I went to mom and dad's room to tell mom that dad was sleepwalking again but I found something disturbing. Mom and dad were fast asleep in their bed together. If dad was in bed, then who was outside?

I woke them up and told them what happened. After I told them, dad went outside for a good 15 minutes while I stayed with mom. Dad came back in only to find nothing. He told me to go back to sleep and say something again if it happens the next night. I did as I was told and went back to sleep.

The next night I woke up to the sound of knocking at my window. This time I did what I should've done one night earlier and looked turned to face the window but what I saw will now forever haunt me. What I saw was a face, not just any face. Pitch black eyes, a lavender coat, and a purple and pink mane, and the worst of it all was the smile. It was a smile big enough to make it seem unnatural for a normal pony. It almost looked like Princess Twilight but I knew it wasn't her.

I screamed and ran out of bed and towards my parent's room. They let me in and I tried to explain but instead, I just said random things until I was out of breath. It was enough to make my dad get the police and search the whole area. They never found it. We just went back to bed and the next day, my dad put blinds over my window.

I wish I could say that was the last time something like that happened, but it wasn't. Just last week, I heard the knocking again, I tried to ignore it but then I remembered that I forgot to lock my window. I was gonna go tell mom and dad again but at that moment I heard my window open.

Nothing was dividing my bed and my window so that thing was now in my room. Luckily, I was facing away from the window so it would be easy to pretend I was asleep. There was complete silence now, it has been quiet for so long that I thought he wasn't even in my room anymore. When I was finally brave enough, I turned to face the window. The smiling thing was standing next to my bed, staring directly into my eyes. It was still smiling. I was frozen both in thought and movement. I couldn't move a muscle.

I finally screamed and got the nerve to get out of bed and I felt it grab my stomach. I couldn't escape its grasp and my room didn't have anything I could use as a weapon. My parents tried to help but were stopped by my locked door. It soon finally let go of me and jumped out the window just a second after my dad finally broke down the door. Dad got to the police again and searched again. I even gave them a description of its face. They searched for most of the night but finally gave up when they couldn't find him.

That was the worst one yet, but not until just the day before yesterday was the last time I ever saw it. I got to bed late and I remembered to lock my window this time. I went to close my blinds and that was when I saw it again. This time it was hiding behind a tree in the distance only showing its face. Its face was still the same as I remember it. After three seconds, it stood behind the tree and I lost sight of it. I closed the blinds and got in bed, trying to forget what I saw. For the whole night, I expected it to knock on my window or try to get in. But nothing happened. I didn't even hear any hoofsteps outside.

I haven't seen it around in my new house. But I still get paranoid at night. I hope it doesn't know where I live now or is hiding somewhere in my house, just waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
