Night 1:
Where am I? How did I get here? I remember taking the last train from Canterlot, now I'm here. The forest towers above me, the mist tumbling around me. It's so thick, keeping me from seeing beyond the front tree line. I glanced over my shoulder, the mist was pooling forwards. I trotted on, in fear if the mist caught up to me, it would suffocate me.
I moved onward with shaky trots. The path extended for entity. But all too soon, I see a building in the distance. It was separated from the forest, by a graveyard. I carefully navigated around the discarded bones and skulls, in order to get to the building. I'm serious when I say I heard them whispering in the gloom.
Standing at the edge of the yard, I finally saw the building for the first time. It was run down, and had weeds growing up the side, like one of those buildings you would just ignore on your way to some place more important. It was two stories high, seeing the height of the windows.
I noticed a name over the door, in run down letters:
Derpy House.
I reached the door, and reached out to turn the knobs. But I noticed they were skulls. I shivered, turning them.
I walked into the building, finding myself at the front desk. I saw the waiting room off to the side. I stood there going through some thoughts in my head, while the door closed behind me with a soft click.
I decided to see if the front desk had a bell when:
"Would you like a room?"
I made a slight jump, and whipped my head to where the noise was coming from. A gray pegasus was staring at me, well, at least one eye was. The other seemed to have a mind of its own. Her head was tilted, her gold mane lopsided. There was something off about her that gave me shivers.
"You must be very tired, having walked all the way here. Dead tired in fact." She paused, studying my face. "How do I know that? Most guests usually are." She paused, probably waiting for me to react. When I didn't, she continued. "Never mind. So, how about that room?"
I just nodded my head, as words failed me.
"Then you just stay here. I'll go get your room ready." I watched her walk into the gloom, until the darkness ate up the light of her candle flame.
It was quiet for around a minute, and then I heard sharp thuds, accomplished by an ear piercing scream.
The mare came back a few seconds later, her candle gone. She was covered in, what was that? Blood? "Follow me please." When she turned around, I saw she had a knife lodged in between her ears.
I heard her muttering something about a Pinkamina remembering to keep her door shut, as we got swallowed up by the dark hallway.
