Chapter 1: The First day begins (Re-Updated)
The sun shone over Canterlot City, bathing it in it’s warmth. The sun brought a new day, new hopes and happiness. The rays of sunlight reflected off the crystal-like decor of the Crystal Prep Academy building with a shimmering beauty.
Sunset took steady breaths to keep herself calm. The time had finally come. Her nervousness grew with each passing second as she tried her best to remain calm.
‘You’re fine Sunset. You’re good. All you need to do is make a good first impression.’ she thought to herself as she looked around. After letting out a sigh she began to make her way to the main entrance of the building.
The lobby was similar to the one back at CHS, but something felt a little off. Outside of the different colours and trophies she couldn’t really see any differences when it came to being a school, but she just couldn’t help but reminisce of the good times at Canterlot High.
Before she could stop her train of thought, something else did it for her as she suddenly felt a massive temperature drop as she felt goosebumps producing on her arms and legs. This sudden occurrence caused her to stop in her tracks.
Another Crystal Prep student must have noticed as before Sunset could grasp an explanation a girl stood next to her
“Hey, are you okay?” she asked as Sunset looked around in an attempt to find a source of the temperature drop.
“Huh? Oh, yeah. It just got really cold here for some reason.” Sunset said as she rubbed her arms in an attempt to make the goosebumps go away.
The fellow student didn’t look surprised as Sunset explained what she experienced, but instead the look on the girl’s face was equivalent to a reaction to someone telling the same news for the 100th time.
“Oh, you felt her presence. Don’t worry you’ll get used to it.” she said and wandered off into the hallway with other students.
Sunset just stood there for a little while in confusion about what the girl had told her.
‘Her presence? Get used to it?’ she thought before she was ripped out of her thoughts by the school bell ringing.
Sunset walked through the hallways filled with students as she tried to find her locker.
“402. 402.” she repeated in a whisper to herself to focus on which number she was looking for.
She eventually came to a stop in front of her assigned locker, but when she was about to open it she looked over to the locker next to the one next to hers. This locker stood out from the others, but not in the “rich kid” kind of way, but because of the state the locker was in.
It was completely covered in rust and looked like it hadn’t been used in years.
Sunset felt a chilling aura coming from the locker that sent shivers down her spine, almost like the locker had a pair of invisible eyes that were watching her.
Sunset couldn't explain it, but just looking at locker #404 terrified her to her very core.
Her P.E. class had finally ended, and that class was so grueling that Sunset had to hold on to something because her legs felt like a brick wall, and she was also gulping down gallons of water because she was sweating like a fountain. Her arms ached, her legs ached, every part of her body felt sore from running 25 laps without a break, and in addition, 37 push ups and sit ups.. And her head was aching because of how loud the coach was yelling at the students to keep running.
Sunset was so sweaty that her P.E. uniform was soaked in sweat, and not only did it feel uncomfortable, but her uniform also gave off a stench that smelled to high heaven, Sunset was surprised to why she didn't start vomiting from the awful smell. But at least she was alone in the locker room so no one could hear her retching noises as she was trying to vomit, but couldn't.
As Sunset was washing her face with soap and water in the locker room, she felt the temperature drop again as she started rubbing her arms because it was so cold. Suddenly, she felt an icy hand grab her shoulder, startling Sunset to the point where she yelped. She turned around to see that no one was behind her.
"WHO'S THERE, SHOW YOURSELF," Sunset shouted. "Ok, the jokes over, I don't know if it is normal around here to pull pranks on the new girl, but whatever prank this is, it's not funny," Sunset said in an annoyed tone, as she got her normal clothes on and left the locker room.
As Sunset was packing her bags and heading to her dorm room, she sees fellow Crystal Prep Student Lemon Zest, sitting next to Locker #404.
"Hello, again Twi," Lemon Zest said to the Locker. "I just got yelled at by the Coach again, I guess I'm not as athletic as I used to be. Here, I brought something for you." Lemon Zest said as she placed a blue-eyed baby doll next to the locker.
"I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you Twilight." Lemon Zest said. "I hope you like the new doll I brought you," Lemon Zest said.
Then Sunset heard other students looking at Lemon and then laugh at her saying things like, "Wow, look at Lemon, talking to that dirty looking locker, I bet that lockers going to be the only friend she ever has. Besides, the girl that had that locked was a loser already, and I'm glad she's gone."
Then Sunset felt an aching sensation in her stomach as if someone got a knife and shoved it right into her under-rib.
Suddenly, Sunset saw Lemon Zest's expression change from calm to fear.
"No no no no, please Twi, don't be angry, they didn't mean it, please don't punish them," Lemon said, her face now full of tears.
Sunset couldn't believe what she was seeing, Lemon was acting like a complete crazy person. But before Sunset could walk up to calm her down, Lemon ran out of sight with a fearful expression on her face.
Sunet, trying to ignore what had just happened, tried to find the exit doors to the school, that was until something...or someone caught her eye.
The figure appeared to be a girl, she was wearing a crystal prep uniform, and appeared to have pale-ish purple skin.
Sunset saw the girl head to locker 404, but since no one used that locker, Sunset thought that she should tell her that no one is using that locker.
Sunset then walked up to the mysterious girl and said, "Umm, hey, I don't think you should be touching that locker, everyone's saying that the locker shouldn't be used right now," Sunset said.
The Girl however, didn't respond to her, as she picked the doll off of the ground.
"Hey, umm, since school's about to be out, I think we shou..." before Sunset could finish, she felt the temperature drop again, this time even colder than before.
Then, Sunset saw the doll's head turn around by itself to look at her, which made Sunset freeze with fear.
Then the girl spoke in a quiet whispery voice, "But this is my locker," The Girl murmured. "You're not bad, your mind will be spared from my wrath," The girl said before slowly turning to look at sunset.
Sunset saw to her horror, that the girl's face was rotten and decaying, with flies coming out of all the seaps on her face. But the most frightening feature was the girls crimson red eyes. Her eyes had a look of rage and hatred, if you could look inside her eyes, you would see fire.
And just like that, the girl disappeared right in front of Sunset. The only thing Sunset could do at this point was run as fast as she could, until she got to her dorm room. That night, no matter how hard she tried to sleep, all she could see were the girls blood red eyes.
