Valley was excited and Nervous at the same time, due to the fact that she Went to the Trail That everyone Talked about, Alone and she was going to ask her friends but decided not too because what harm can a trail really do?, as she has been on trails by herself in her home place before, so everything will be fine right?.
She Then took a deep breathe before continuing inside the portal that took her there, and then she opened her eyes, she saw that the trail was kinda dark but that's nothing to worry about!, so then she continued on the Trail, she looked around amazed about how everything looked, as she was looking around she saw what seemed to be a skeleton horse and it was standing in front of a grave, she just passed by it, she felt creeped out but she just continued on and as she made her Way up the tr tellail following the Blue light to make sure she didn't get lost.
As she continued, she started to see a horse by the pumpkin, so she went close to the horse making sure it wouldn't attack her but instead it just pinned its Ears so she back away and continued deeper, she then say the ghosts of a dog,Horse,foal,donkey or mule she couldn't tell, and a owl, she was surprised and she felt a chill run down her spine at all what seemed to be ghosts/Foggy Animals, so then she turned back to go back to the portal just to see that the path was blocked by rocks, so then she started to panic a bit but then she looked around the forest like area.
After a while of looking around and around, she felt as she was getting deeper into what seemed like a never ending forest, she continued to look trying to find a way out, but she noticed how an odd number of crows were there and how quiet, everything was and it creeped her out by a lot but then after what seemed to be like ages, she finally found a path that led to Adieen's whisper, so then so looked around not seeming to see anything, so then she went in since there didn't seem to be anything to worry about, but that where she was wrong as she was being watched but the Mare was hidden so the other couldn't see her.
As she continued through, the Adieen whisper she slowed down a bit as she was getting a bit tired due to the fact that she was walking for hours on end, but then as she stop to take breath but as she did she started to hear steps, then when she turned around she saw a bear she quickly tried to ran away but then the bear caught up to her, she tried to kick her hooves trying to get the bear off her but it was to no use as the bear took its claws and ripped her stomach with it, Valley let out a scream of pain and horror before it all went black for her and she was just laying there as the cut bleed and then the bear started to eat and rip the scar more with its claws and then it ate a bite before leaving the poor little Icelandic mare bleeding
After the bear had left, The Mare from earlier came back and went in Adieen's whispers, ''Perfect'' she whispered, pleased as the bear had done it's job yet again, she then examined the body before talking the body of Valley and taking it to the forest outside of Adieen's whisper and then chopping her legs and head off and packed them in a box, she then threw away the body , she then waited a bit before a Icelandic stallion named Coffin arrived, ''Now that you have finally arrived I need you to deliver this box to a mare Named Basalt, you should find her at south hoof, be careful and make sure no one catch's you!, now scram'', she finished before giving the box and going to wish the blood of her hoofs.
Coffin listened and took the Box, and went to the nearest portal, after he had arrived at the portal and had gotten out, he quickly checked the box making sure there was no blood as the Mare would not like it and you do not wanna see her when she's angry, and then after he made sure that there was no blood around the box, he quickly went out of the portal making sure no one saw him, thankfully the portal was in forgotten, but then he made his way to south.
After a while, He arrived at the herd spot at south hoof, and then he waited for a bit, to not mess up, so then he saw the mare and walked up to her, thankfully the herd was pretty small so it was easy, he then spoke with Baz.
''Hello''
''Oh hello'' Baz said confused on where the horse came from.
''This is a box for you from your friend'' Coffin said, before handing the box.
''Hm, Alright'' Baz said as she started to get a bit suspicious about the stallion.
''Goodbye'' Is what Coffin said before galloping off and going back to where the mare was hoping that he was able to make her proud.
After Baz saw that the Stallion bolted or well galloped off, her suspension started to get worse and then she read the letter on top of the box, the letter read out, ''Hello Basalt, I hope this box reached you in good health'', She then put the letter on the box again and looked around again for 10 minutes so before looking at the box and she knew something Must have happened, because first of all, Valley sent's Letter's Via crow , and second of all is because She would send a crow or some bird to send the letter and because of the fact she wrote Basalt instead of Baz and something about the way the letter was written felt..like it was someone else?, and third of all the way the stallion galloped as soon as he dropped the Box.
But then After a few minutes she took a deep breath before opening the Box and her eyes widened at what she saw in the box, It was Valley's Head and legs in the Box, she then was just wide eyed and then she snapped back into reality, as she felt tears started to fill her eyes.
{Back at the forest in the haunted trail ride}, The Mare laughed as she had sent one of her little crows to spy, and she was very pleased to see how upset the other Mare was, she smiled before saying , ''Good job Coffin''.
