I don’t know if this thing can follow people through distance or if it just chooses to.

For context, Carl’s been my best friend since high school. We were those weird quiet kids that bonded over dumb internet stuff and games instead of sports or parties. He’s one of the only people I can actually spend days around without getting exhausted.

We pretty much like the same things too. Horror games, old YouTube videos, animation, My Little Pony, all that embarrassing stuff people online make fun of you for.

So after what happened at my house, he was the first person I called.

I didn’t even tell him the full story at first because I thought saying it out loud would make me sound insane. I just told him somebody tried getting into my room and I didn’t want to stay home alone for a while.

Carl didn’t even hesitate.

He just said:

“Dude, just come over.”

His parents are out of town for a few days, so it was just us there. Honestly, I thought being around another person would help calm me down.

And for a while it actually worked.

We spent most of the night trying to distract ourselves. Watching random MLP clips on YouTube connected to the TV. Making instant noodles at like 11 PM. Arguing over dumb episodes.

Carl kept joking that I looked like I hadn’t slept in a week.

He wasn’t wrong.

For a few hours I actually started convincing myself the thing at my house wasn’t real.

Maybe I hallucinated it.

Maybe I fell asleep during the episode.

Maybe stress finally messed my brain up.

I wanted that explanation so badly.

Then the WiFi started cutting out.

Not fully. Just enough for videos to buffer every few minutes. Carl got annoyed and said the router outside probably overheated again, so we both went outside to check.

I remember the air feeling freezing even though it wasn’t cold earlier.

The second we stepped outside, something felt wrong.

I can’t explain it better than that.

That feeling when your brain notices something before you consciously do.

Carl was still talking about the router while I kept looking around the driveway.

Then I saw it.

Standing near the side of the carport.

Half-hidden behind one of the support beams.

Blue.

Tall.

Watching us.

It didn’t move when I looked at it.

That somehow made it worse.

The eyes reflected light from the driveway just enough for me to recognize them immediately.

I think my brain genuinely stopped functioning for a second because all I could think was:

It followed me.

I don’t even remember pulling my phone out, but I took a picture almost automatically. Like I needed proof that it was there before it disappeared again.

Carl noticed something was wrong and asked what I was staring at.

I grabbed him by the sleeve and pulled him back toward the house so hard he almost fell.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him panic before that moment.

Not until he looked back and saw it too.

We slammed the door shut and locked it immediately. Carl closed every curtain while I shoved a cabinet against the front door hard enough to scratch the floor.

Neither of us said anything for maybe thirty seconds.

Then the knocking started.

Slow at first.

Three knocks.

Then silence.

Then three more.

No voice this time.

No fake friendliness.

Just knocking.

Carl tried calling the police but the call kept cutting out halfway through. We tried multiple times and got the same result every single time.

That’s when the knocking changed.

It got louder.

Faster.

Impatient.

Like whoever was outside was getting annoyed we weren’t answering quickly enough.

Every hit against the door made the cabinet shake slightly.

I remember Carl whispering:

“What the hell is that thing?”

And the worst part is I didn’t have an answer anymore.

Like I dont even have the answer to it

But anyways.

The knocking kept going for hours.

Sometimes stopping for several minutes before starting again somewhere else.

Front door.

Window.

Back door.

Always three knocks.

Never speaking.

Like it understood there were two of us now.

Neither of us slept.

We just sat there in silence waiting for sunlight to come through the curtains.

When morning finally came, the knocking stopped completely.

No footsteps.

No movement.

Nothing.

I checked through the curtains very slowly expecting to see it standing outside.

But it was gone.

At least I think it was.

I didn’t stay long enough to find out.

But I decided we should check the neighbors for help so I grabbed a kitchen knife

Not because it can harm it but because it feels safer than nothing

But we then sprint towards the neighbors place and I kid you not we were both running our fastest we've ever been and when we reached that place I kept knocking the door as the neighbor opened it.

Currently writing this while inside their home calling the police

I hope somethings done

I'm scared.

I don’t even know if this belongs here.

I haven’t slept properly in two days and every time I close my eyes I keep hearing that voice again.

Before anybody starts making jokes, yes, I watch My Little Pony. I’m 19. I don’t care anymore. Make fun of me if you want. After what happened, that’s the least embarrassing part of this whole thing.

I mostly watched it because it was comforting.

The world’s been awful lately. Every day there’s another missing person case in my city. People disappearing in the middle of the night. No signs of forced entry. No suspects. Nothing.

My mom watches the news constantly, so every dinner is basically: “Another student missing.” “Another guy disappeared.” “Police still investigating.”

You start hearing that enough and eventually nighttime stops feeling normal.

So I’d stay up late watching old MLP episodes because it drowned everything out. Bright colors. Dumb jokes. And Rarity... Oh Rarity I was so in love with the character to the point I watch episodes specifically about her I know it sounds weird but it's Safer than reality.

Another character I enjoyed is Trixie lulamoon

I'd say that I see myself in her

Idk why she makes me feel like me at times.

Pathetic, maybe. But it worked.

Until three nights ago.

I remember exactly what time it started because I checked my phone after hearing the first knock.

2:47 AM.

At first I thought it was my mom going to the bathroom, but then I realized the knocking was coming from my bedroom door.

Three slow knocks.

Not loud.

Just enough.

I froze.

My room was completely dark except for my laptop screen playing some random episode. I remember hearing the credits music still going quietly in the background.

Then I heard a voice.

A woman’s voice.

Soft.

Calm.

“Trixie wants to show you something.”

I actually laughed at first because I thought I was dreaming.

Then the door handle moved.

Not violently.

Slowly.

Like whoever was outside didn’t want to scare me.

I sat up in bed and stared at the door.

There was a gap between the door and the frame because my door doesn’t close properly.

Something blue was standing behind it.

At first my brain literally tried to convince me it was a hoodie hanging there.

Then it blinked.

Huge eyes.

Way too big.

Reflecting light from my laptop.

I grabbed my phone and took a picture because I genuinely thought I was losing my mind.

The picture...

I know it looks fake.

I wish it was.

The thing behind the door looked like Trixie from My Little Pony, except stretched out like melted plastic. Its face kept changing slightly every time I blinked. Sometimes the smile was too wide. Sometimes the eyes looked human.

Its voice sounded wrong too.

Not deep. Not demonic.

Just… almost correct.

Like somebody trying to imitate friendliness without understanding it.

“Trixie knows you like Rarity.”

I couldn’t move.

I remember my chest hurting because my heart was pounding so hard.

Then it leaned closer to the opening in the door.

“I can bring you to Equestria.”

I don’t know why that sentence scared me as much as it did.

Maybe because it sounded sincere.

Not threatening.

Like it genuinely believed it was offering me something good.

I got up and shoved my desk against the door.

The thing on the other side stopped talking for a few seconds.

Then:

“Why are you scared?”

The doorknob slowly turned again.

I pushed harder against the desk.

The thing giggled quietly.

Not cartoonishly. Not loudly.

Just enough to make my skin crawl.

“You watch every night.”

Silence.

Then another push against the door.

Harder this time.

The desk moved an inch.

I started yelling for my parents but nobody answered.

That scared me even more because our walls are thin. They should’ve heard me.

The thing spoke again.

“Twilight made something for you.”

Another shove.

The lock clicked.

I remember genuinely thinking: If this thing gets inside my room, I die.

I know how insane that sounds.

But every instinct in my body was screaming it at me.

I pushed myself against the desk using my full weight while it kept pressing from the other side.

Slow. Patient. Never rushing.

Like it knew I’d get tired eventually.

And I did.

My legs started shaking. My arms hurt. I could barely breathe.

Then it whispered through the crack in the door:

“Rarity is waiting.”

I don’t even know why but hearing that almost made me open the door.

Not because I believed it.

Because my brain felt… foggy.

Heavy.

Like part of me wanted to follow the voice.

Then the thing shoved the door so hard the top hinge cracked.

I started crying. Actual panic crying.

And the worst part is that it sounded happy when it heard that.

Not excited.

Relieved.

Like I was finally reacting correctly.

“You can come outside now.”

Outside.

Not “open the door.”

Outside.

That’s when I realized something that made me feel sick.

I don’t think it wanted inside my room.

I think it wanted me outside of it.

I think it wanted me to leave willingly.

After that everything gets blurry.

I remember holding the desk. The door shaking. The thing talking nonstop.

Then suddenly I saw sunlight through my curtains.

Morning.

No noise.

No voice.

Nothing.

I stayed there for maybe twenty minutes before moving.

My whole body hurt.

I finally pulled the desk away and opened the door.

Nothing was there.

But the front door

Your days are numbered
