Judgement
Twist won’t leave me alone, and the same goes for Snips. Both of them want to keep talking about the latest murder, but I don’t want to discuss it. Rarity had been Sweetie’s sister; an annoying sister too. I had never really cared for the older mare that always seemed to pretend that she knew everything about anything. A unicorn as well, so of course she pretended to know magic like the back of her hoof.
I wish they would just leave me alone but I know they won’t. All of these murders had been so close to home that of course ponies would constantly talk about them all of the time. The murderer was stupid when they planned it like this. I was stupid to plan my plans in the same manner. I couldn’t carry out my plans here anymore. It’s much too busy. I have two days before I go back to work, so I only have until then to carry out the next part of my mission.
A life for a life, that’s a common phrase nowadays. Ponies all saying that this killer deserved to be killed as brutally as they were killing their victims. Good luck with that, I’m sure the murderer won’t be so easy to be beaten. They seem smart, too smart for most of you.
Can’t you see the way they are planning this? It’s really quite simple; all of these victims have a connection of some sort. It’s relatively clear to me, even if it’s not to you. They have a reason, and a rhyme and they commit the crimes. I’d appreciate it if you’d stop asking me questions and expecting me to give you caring, decent answers. I genuinely don’t care. It has nothing to do with me after all, and now nothing to do with you either. I need to carry on with my list; I need to do my job. And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
So…Little filly, have you thought about what I offered? Did you realise what I was doing as I realise everything that you have done? Your friends are still with you, even though you hate them. I can see the scorn in your face when they speak. Don’t scorn them little filly, it’s not entirely their fault that they worry so much about these notices on the boards. It’s up to you to change their mind. That’s what ponies like me do. We persuade others that they are wrong and that they can still change if they choose to, but it’s always there choice. We can’t make up their minds for them. That is not what this position entitles us to do.
We can merely watch and whisper through the breezes, telling them what we think without them even realising what we are really saying. Only those that understand our cause will truly get what is being said, the others will see it as the mad ramblings of a lonely pony. But there is more organisation to this chaos than first thought.
Ponies leave, ponies die, ponies lie to your face, and they don’t respect all that you have given to them over the years of friendship. I have done so much for so many ponies and yet they choose to ignore me like I am some piece of rubbish, just like you filly. We’re both ignored with nopony to go to but ourselves. If ever I need to express my emotions then there is no better pony than myself, because nopony else would ever understand the truth of what I am feeling. Except each other, you and I. I understand what you’re feeling, and I’m fairly sure you can see what I feel as well. There are others in my clan that know each other as well as they know their selves, but this is a very rare occurrence indeed. We were not raised to understand any of what other ponies were thinking.
Your livelihood right now is fake, i.e. it’s not real. There are so many ponies out there who’ve died in the same manner that these recent victims have and yet nopony paid a blind-eye to them did they? They were ignored and do you know why? Because they were killed by somepony that was noticeable, somepony that everyone knew was crazy and had to be aware of. This criminal was sane, so sane that they could go behind somepony’s back and crush their skull but also have the delicate touch to replace fireflies with a lightning bolt. They could kill in any way possible. How would the next one go? Do you know little filly?
I don’t know at the moment. I’m sure it will come to me. I have ideas as to who my next ‘client’ should be but it will mean leaving for a short while. I do not like to leave my home; it makes me feel extremely hypocritical, but go I must. If I do not go then nopony else will. It is up to me to sort out this list I have collected. I have a vague idea of which ‘creature’ shall be next. And so I need to go and get that done before I return.
I will miss you little filly. Try not to be too upset if bad things occur whilst I am gone, though I’m sure you won’t be upset, it is not in your nature. Have fun with being yourself for a little while, and above all things little filly: STAY IN PONYVILLE! I cannot express that enough. It is detrimental for the plan that you should not leave. Please little filly, even in somepony else tells you otherwise, do not leave.
My train comes in soon so I had better leave these teary-eyed foals behind. But little filly, stay here. Do not follow me to the station as you want to. Don’t go with a stallion either; your family stays in Ponyville, promise?
Good. I must go. I can hear the signal for my journey’s beginning. Time for me to make a silent but malcontent exit.
