Meatshack Fluttershy - A MLP Horror Shortfic

Chapter 1 - The Dream

Applejack looked around at her hard work. Just then, a darkness spread across the fields, shrivelling up tress and bushes as it covered the now dull, grass-less earth. A bat-like figure lifted its wing higher, covering Applejack in shadows. There was blood dripping down one side of her pale face from her mouth, dripping down onto Applejack's muzzle. No...... No!

The bat only seemed to whisper "Apples, juicy, juicy apples....." over and over. The bat flew into the sunlight, revealing her identity, before shrouding back in darkness before she burned away. The Flutterbat! Applejack turned to run. But Flutterbat flew down swiftly and bit her neck. Applejack screamed silently, then woke up.

Applejack's eyes flickered open quickly, her breath coming in rapid pants. That was only a dream....

She looked over the bed, as a pale yellow face filled the room. "GAH!" Applejack yelled, falling off the bed. "Sis', it's me, Applebloom," replied a small voice. "Did you have a nightmare?" Applejack stood up quickly and looked over at her sister. "Mhm.." she mumbled, not really remembering it now. "Oh, Applejack!" Applebloom chirped noisily, walking the door. "It's my round'ta do the chores," she said, getting on with her work, rather than teasing her sister. "You betta get 'yer rest, sista," she exclaimed as she walked out of the door. There was a loud crash of a falling bucket a few moments later. "Applejack, Applejack!" She yelled loudly, running into the room. She brought a small radio with her.

"Though we do not know how they have vanished, We will be sure they will return,"

Applejack cocked her head to one side, scrambling into her bed. "I 'don understand," she fretted.

"This unusual case will continue, and the search for Babs Seed and Zephyr Breeze will continue."

The radio made a sort of cracking sound and the signal dropped out.

"See Applejack! Babs is missing!" Applejack looked startled. "And what abou' Zephyr Breeze? He's Fluttershy's brother! We gotta' warn her!" Applejack dashed out of the room with Applebloom at her heels. "And Babs too," Applebloom added, looking worried. They stopped. "Okay, so here's the plan," Applejack started. "I'll go tell Fluttershy that Zephyr Breeze-" "And I'll go look for Babs!" Apple bloom finished, running off. "Tha's not what I- Nevermind." Applejack started running up to Fluttershy's cottage, hoping that she already knew the news.
