It was 1:47 PM when Peter brought the horse inside the house. The overweight man in question wore a white, button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, the ends were tucked into his pants. His legs were covered by green khakis and brown leather slip-on shoes. He often did these types of things as a joke and made what most would consider meta references as if he were in a television show.

His wife, Lois, wore a teal button-up, also with the sleeves rolled up. The end of her shirt remained untucked and fell over her tan khakis. Her shoes were wine red and had small heels. Her frame was rather skinny but had muscle. She was the voice of reason, and the cause of what's to come.

They had three children and a dog.

Meg was the eldest - she was cared for little and was bullied by almost all the family. She wore a pink T-shirt and blue jeans with white shoes. She had glasses and a pink beanie on her head.

Chris was the middle child - being the second most dumb person in the house but also the strongest. Although he looked fat, he had muscles. He wore a blue T-shirt with dark grey jeans and white shoes. He had long blonde hair and a baseball cap adornment on his head.
   
Stewie was the youngest  - being only one and a half years old but still the smartest. He was born with abnormal genes that made him one-in-a-thousand. The genes unlocked a segment in his brain allowing him to comprehend and build almost anything science related, sadly this made his head have a birth defect, being more in the shape of a lemon. He tended to be the most violent of the family and wore a yellow shirt and red overalls and white shoes.

Brian the Dog - Born with the strange abilities to talk and use posable thumbs, he is an alcoholic who wants to write novels but us terrible at doing so. His fur is white and he has a red collar with a gold tag.

Peter's shenanigans had always bothered Lois, but the day he brought the horse into the house was the day of reckoning. The horse, its eyes were amiss and clouded. Looking in two different directions and never blinking. It constantly shook. It was so skinny, you could see its ribs pop as it moved.

Lois had always known this day could come, but she didn't know it would be so soon. She didn't want to believe it.

The Pewterschmidt bloodline had a curse, a curse that would remain until the entire bloodline was erased. Lois had been warned. She even had proof from a journal written by her ancestors. Proof of this demon, this monsters existence.

She had locked the book away with hope to forget about it, pleading to her god that if it were real, it would skip her and her family. It skipped her father, so why wouldn't it skip her. She still realized the possibility, even if she didn't want to admit it, so she had a bunker constructed in her back yard. Years worth of food, water, and electricity.

The bunker was made out of the strongest materials on the earth, and the book was locked down inside. Still, she hoped it would skip her and her family. Yet, the horse was still there, the first sign of the beasts return.

"Peter what have you done." Lois mumbled under her breath.

"Lois, we are gonna make so much money with this horse, I shall train him to be the Shanghai Maglev of horses." Peter raised his hand and made a fist while gazing into a nearby wall.

Lois walked away sighing as Peter continued to make jokes that failed to land. As Lois walked up the stairs and rounded the corner she saw the hallway mirror. Her reflection, the eyes were pitch black, the movements she made were not the movements the reflection made. As she raised her hand to her face, the reflection ripped out its eye. Lois bursted into her room and locked the door behind her. Sliding down the door she began to sob into her hands.

~Time Skip - The Next Day~

Peter wasn't at breakfast, he was somewhere, training that damned horse. Stewie wasn't at breakfast either. Instead he was up in his room, the door was locked but no one seemed to notice it or the loud noises of construction coming from it.

Lois was on edge but still hoped her mind was playing tricks on her. She put the eggs away and handed Brian his food. When she tried to wash her hands, she saw the sink spew out a clump of long, black, horse hair. She didnt want to admit it but this horse had brought the beast back with its arrival.

By lunch Peter hadn't returned, he had still probably been out training the horse. Of course no one could really tell, because Peter hadn't actually told anyone where he had gone all they knew is that Peter was gone and the horse was gone.

Lois was out of the house at the gym with her friend. Chris was in his room doing schoolwork and Brian was in the living room reading. Stewie was building a few gadgets that could transform. One being a watch that could become a beam gun and temporarily turn him invisible. Stewie felt unease. The horses arrival was unnerving and strange. He found it hard to work and took a sip of his juice sighing and looking at the ceiling in wonder.

When it was time for dinner, Peter had returned, so had Lois. Dinner was less talkative than usual. Peter was the only one engaged because he was only talking about the horse and how fast it was. The horse then entered through a door near Peter's side of the dining room. It stared at Lois with unblinking eyes.

"Peter, the horse is here." Lois said and stared at the horse. A feeling creeping up her spine like a spider crawling up her back, getting ready to bite her at any moment.

"Oh my, umm. Huh." Peter turned around and waved his hand at the horse, "shoo, shoo you."

The horse remained still, unblinking, unbreathing the rest of the dinner was fast and silent.

That night they all went to bed, hearing the horse breathing heavily outside their rooms. Although they all slept at separate sides of the house and had locked the horse outside before bed.
