"No more running away!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she and her friends all turned a corner into another hallway. "You guys go! I'll hold off the ghost! You all make a break for it!"
"Have you lost your apple picking mind!" Replied Apple Bloom. "That ghost will gobble you up for sure!"
"She's right! Let me be the one to stay behind," Silver Mane insisted.
"No! You have a friend to go and save! Now get moving! Beside this is what Rainbow dash would do if she were here right now," Said Scootaloo.
"How are you going to stop the ghost," asked Sweetie Belle.
"Oh! That's easy. I'm Scootaloo the hall monitor," Scootaloo said adjusting her sash. "I'll just ask him for his hall pass," the purple hair ten-year-old said with a smile trying to sound brave.
The three kids reluctantly deiced to leave their friend behind and run up a flight of stairs.
Tap! Tap! Tap! The quick moving foot falls came closer and closer to Scootaloo's position!
"Halt! Who goes there? No one is allowed in the hallway without a hall pass! I'll be needing to see your pass! Now!" She demeaned as she did her best to stand tall and sound brave! As the foot falls came closer a tall mysterious dark shadowy figure appeared before her.
"I-I Nee-need to see your hall pass," the now terrified ten-year-old stammered as the figure came right up to her.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Silver Mane Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle all then turned in fright when they all heard the shrill scream of their friend come from where they had left her!
"The ghost got Scootaloo! Come on! Let's keep moving," Sweetie Belle insisted as she ran up another flight of stairs with her friends behind her.
The three kids ran along through the dark hallway that was only lit up by the random flashed of light from the outside which created a strobe light effect. Then suddenly Apple Bloom tripped and fell over something in the dark hallway. She fell to the floor with a thud.
"Apple Bloom! Are you OK," Sweetie Belle exclaimed as she and Silver Mane tried to help her to stand up.
"I think I sprained my ankle. Just leave me here," she told them as she made her best effort to stand.
"NO! Were all friends here and friends don't leave each other behind," responded Silver Mane as he dragged Apple Bloom along the floor by her shoulders with the help of Sweetie Belle.
"No! It's no use," Apple Bloom groaned as her two friends tried to drag her along. They got Apple Bloom into a nearby kindergarten classroom.
"Leave me here," she moaned.
"We'll cover you up with these blankets and pillows and stuff! You can hide here from the ghost! He won't find you here," Sweetie Belle explained as she quickly and frantically piled all the blankets should could find on top of Apple Bloom.
"We'll come back for you! I promise! Just stay here for now," Silver Mane told her.
"Not like I have much choice," responded the farm girl as Silver Mane pulled of soft blanket over her head and left the room with Sweetie Belle.
Apple bloom lay there under the many blankets as the thunderstorm continued outside. She could hear the angry footsteps of someone coming closer and closer still!
"Why did I come here to the school at night! What was I thinking," she thought to herself! Then suddenly the sounds of the foot falls stopped! She breather of sigh of relief. She was glad to no longer hear them.
The blankets and pillows were then suddenly thrown off of Apple Bloom.
"There you are! I finally found you my dear," the dark shadowy figure proclaimed in a chilling voice reaching out to grab her. She lay there exposed and helpless and threw her hands up in front of her face and cried in cold fear!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Came the sound of Apple Blooms despite yell as it bounced and echoed all through the school!
"Not Apple Bloom too!" Sweetie Belle gasped as she and Silver Mane made their way up another flight of stairs. The two turned and ran down hallway after hallway until they didn't know where they were. They found themselves at the end of a long dark corridor with the sounds of the ghost closing in on them from behind.
"We're sunk," Sweetie Belle quivered.
"No! Not yet! You make a run for it! I'll lead our ghastly friend away," he told her.
"But!" She interjected.
"No buts now get moving," he cut her off as he turned and ran back down the hallway as fast as his mildly impaired legs could carry him. "I wanna be a wonder colt super star! I want to be the best there is," he sang loudly running back down the hallway where turned a corner hoping the ghost would follow the sound of his voice!
"What do I do?! What do I do," Sweetie Belle panicked. She then spotted a door a few feet away marked "DO NOT ENTER." She ran through the door in a panic and followed a bunch of old cracked gray steps to the top and ran through another door which looked very old and rusted. After she came through the door she unexpected found herself standing on the roof of the school. The freezing cold thunderstorm was still pouring down in buckets of rain!
She looked around as quickly as she could trying to figure out where she was. Through the flashes of lighting she could make out the image of what looked like a few old raised wooden gardening beds a couple of beat up wooden work tables and some random gardening tools that were scattered all about aimlessly. Then it hit her like a ton of apples from the tallest tree!
"This is the secret garden that Silver Mane talked about," Sweetie Belle thought.
She then realized that she was trapped up on the roof! She had to go back and fast but as soon as she turned and headed for the door it swung open and the ghost walked through! She leaped under one of the nearby work tables and did her best to hide under it! Shacking in fear as she did so!
The lone Cutie Mark Crusader watched in fright as the dark shadowy figure slowly crept around the roof top! It almost appeared to be hunting for her!
"If the ghost is here then that means that it got Silver Mane and now it's going to get me! I'd give anything to back home right now all safe and warm in my bed," she thought to herself as she shut her eyes tightly and wished the ghost would just go away! When she opened her eyes she was meet by the sight of the dark shadow figure standing before her looking straight down at her. The girl looked into the face of the entity and saw a dark cold blackness like the which she had never seen before in her life! The dark figure quickly reached out and grabbed her and pulled her against her will out from under the table.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Please don't eat me! I don't taste very good!" She screamed as she struggled with all her strength to get free from its grasp but the ghost easily kept hold of her as it took her back inside through the doorway she came in through.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Let me go! Please! You can't eat me! I don't even come with fries on the side!" The girl screamed and pleaded as she was taken down the stairs.
After reaching the hallway the figure kept one hand wrapped around Sweetie Belle's arm and with the other it reached into its cloak and pulled out a flash light and turned it on and shined in on its face to reveal that it was really!
