This has a little bit of gore in it, so you've been warned.

We were all in a white room sort of. I look over to Flutters.

"Are you sure you want to relive this? I know this was a very emotional time for you."

You could see the fear in Fluttershy's eyes. But she nodded anyway, "Anything to get my friends off our backs."

The other ponies were about to talk back, but the white room changed to Fluttershy as a filly, running through the forest. She was looking every direction, every sound she heard making her heart leap out of her throat.

She ran to a big tree, and just layed down. You could clearly hear the sobbing in her voice, her body curling up.

"I'm so alone. No way to get back home, and this creepy forest. I want to go home. I want my mom and dad. I want Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow looked over at Fluttershy, who was blushing a deep red.

But then you could hear the flapping of wings in the distance. Then you could see two yellow ponies land: one a mare, and one a stallion.

At this exact moment, I walked over to embrace the adult Flutters, who was starting to sob. I looked back at the other ponies (and Spike), and do a death stare. "This is what you wanted to see, so watch."

Filly Fluttershy gets up, and starts sobbing even more. "Mom, Dad!"

She starts to run up, but then notices the shaking in the bushes near them. She knew what it was.

"Mom, look out!"

But the warning fell on death ears. Out of the bushes came a scorpion tall, as it pierced through her moms back, out her heart, and through the front. Her intestines were sticking to the tip of the tail.

Filly Fluttershy watched in horror, as her dad charged after the tail and the body. There was a lot of screaming, but by the end she knew what had happened.

Then her dad's body gets thrown out of the bushes, body parts and chunks of meat missing from his lifeless carcass. Then out of the bushes came a manticore, and it walked over to the body, and started to feast.

Filly Fluttershy couldn't believe what she just saw. She wasn't holding back any tears now, only letting the dam in her eyes burst with a surge of hatred. But there was nothing to do about it.

And then it noticed her.

The manticore picked up it's head, and stared at Fluttershy, his bloody mouth growling at her. It got up, and started to charge.

Filly Fluttershy was now in shock, and she leaned against the tree and just watched her ultimate demise.

The manticore pounced.

But the strike never came.

Right at the last second, a black blur body slammed the manticore in mid - air. You could see it had a suit on, but no face to be seen.

The pony grew what appeared to be appendages from its body. The manticore picked up the pony, and threw him into a tree. You could hear a snap, as one of the ponies hooves broke.

But it only got up, and grew even more appendages. The pony wrapped all of them around the manticore, literally mummifying it, except for the head. Then it walked over to the manticore, and grabbede th side of it's head. The pony twisted.

The whole forest echoed with the snap, as the appendages slithered back into the ponies body, leaving the manticore to rot on the forest floor.

The pony turned towards Fluttershy, who was now still shaking with even more shock. She knew who Slendermare was, and she knew what he does to little kids.

It started to walk towards her, and she only stared, watching with more fear then one filly should ever have in one year. She waited for the strike.

But he only sat next to her, his faceless face looking at her. His tentacle on his head glowed, "You okay?"

Fluttershy was sobbing, shaking, and terrified before his eyes, and then he glanced at the carcasses in front of them. His eyes grew wide.

He quickly embraced Filly Fluttershy, and she only stood still in absolute shock.

But she noticed the inviting warmth of his suit, and slowly embraced back. He slowly pushes her to the ground, and then lays next to her, cuddling up against her soft yellow skin.

"You need to clear your mind, you need a friend to comfort you. I'm always here for you. My name's Everfree."

Fluttershy had stopped sobbing, and now smiled. "Your too kind, thank you."

A flash was seen, as one of his appendages took a picture with a camera.

Fluttershy didn't even seem to notice though, and Slendermare's face and suit started to get sucked up by something. They retreated into the holes around the sides of his body. The finishing product was what I am now.

So both of us just layed there, embracing and cuddling each other, and the image faded away. But before it did, you could here Filly Fluttershy whisper one more thing.

"Everfree, I love you."

Sad. Yet so adorable.

STAY FROSTY!
