Five Nights at Equestria Girls

Night 5: What Does the Fox Say: Part 2

The lifeless body of the older boy fell to the ground, Foxy's hook coming free with a pop. His eyes were glazed and dull as if his soul had left his body. Fluttershy had to cover her mouth to avoid throwing up again. But that was unsuccessful. Turning around, she uncovered her mouth and began vomiting for a second time. As she finished, she leaned against a tree, now completely pale and sweaty. One could say she looked like she had caught the flu. If she got any paler, she wouldn't have any skin tone. Leaning against the tree, she started to feel better. So long as she kept her back to the gruesome scene behind her. The sound of approaching footsteps made her glance up to see her friends running towards her.

"Fluttershy!" screamed all the girls as they saw their friend leaning against a tree.

"Are you alright?" asked Sunset Shimmer as she ran up to her. "We saw the dead body back there..."

Fluttershy coughed, her throat raw from her vomiting. "Th-there's another one up ahead."

Sunset, taking Fluttershy's word, walked out of the forested area. That left the rest of the girls to help Fluttershy battle her sickness. Coming out of the clearing, she saw the sight of Foxy standing by a dead boy. Looking down, she noticed that his skin was becoming more ashen by the minute. Her eyes widened with shock. Sure, there had been dead kids in the games, but this was a whole other thing. Now there were two kids dead in the real world, two murders that took place. She took a few steps closer to the animatronic, her anger building with every beat of her heart.

"Wh-what have you done?!" shouted Sunset, yelling at the top of her lungs.

Foxy stared at the redhead, who was yelling at him. He was confused as to what she was doing there. Looking down, he realized that he had killed a kid. After that, he connected the pieces and realized the redheaded girl was after him. Not wanting to be caught, he turned away, bolting for the other side of the woods. His metal feet left impressions as he ran, a literal trail leading right to him. As he disappeared into the shade of the trees, he heard the girl behind him groan.

Sunset Shimmer wanted to chase after Foxy, but her obligation to her friends trumped her desire. Turning back, she ran back to where her friends were now helping Fluttershy to stand.

"Is she okay?" asked Sunset, noticing that Fluttershy had gotten some of her skin tone back.

"Yeah, just a little dehydrated. But Fluttershy will be fine," replied Applejack. "Where's the animatronic that just ran off?"

"In the woods surrounding the park," Sunset said in a monotone. "He didn't want to be seen with the dead kid."

Fluttershy covered her mouth as soon as Sunset mentioned the kid. Luckily, she managed to fight her gag reflex this time.

"Sorry, Shy." Sunset hadn't meant to trigger another vomiting episode.

Fluttershy looked at Sunset. "It's okay. But we should probably go after him before someone else gets killed."

That made all the girls look at Fluttershy with worried expressions. Seeing that, the animal lover tried to reassure her friends. After all, she didn't want them to worry about her. Not when there was a bigger problem at hand.

"I'm okay now. We need to make sure no one else is injured." Fluttershy covered her mouth as she let out a small cough.

"But-" started Applejack.

"I'm fine, really," insisted Fluttershy, her voice sounding strict, like a person's of high authority would.

Fluttershy stopped leaning on Applejack and walked towards Sunset. "Come on. I can help you find that fox."
