By TDR Monday the 9th Rainbow Dash stared down at horror at the body of Rarity, lying in a pool of red that surrounded her still form. The crimson soaked into her white coat,staining it, as she lay motionless on the cabins floor. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” She shuddered remembering how much effort she had put into getting her friend to come out camping with her when Applejack had been too busy. This was supposed to be a nice relaxing trip, but now...... “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” Now She was going to have to find some way to tell the others Rarity was dead, provided she survived long enough to make it back to Ponyville. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” Dash's eyes widened at the sound, her ears perked up listening as the strange noise sounded again. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” She flung open the door, with a last look at the growing pool of red under her friend, before darting out of the cabin and running down to the beach. The light lap of the water against the shore line didn't obscure the sound that barely stayed on the edge of her hearing. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” Dash glanced back to the cabin swearing it came from there, if she could find the source maybe she could find out who killed Rarity and take them out. She owed her friend that much to at least try. Wait was it getting louder? “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” The drip of water drew her attention back to the lake and then to the dark figure standing in the water barely six feet from her. Dash's eyes widen looking at the dark form before her. It stood taller than a pony, upright on two legs, it was covered in seaweed and baggy dripping clothing, it held something in it's grip that looked like a bloodied length of red gore, maybe a pipe, or a machete. It's face was hidden from view by a mask that looked like it was taken from Zecora's hut. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” Dash's ears flatted as the thing started to move towards her, she took off like a shot across the beach, momentarily forgetting she could fly as she ran. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” She glanced back seeing the figure was no longer in the lake. Her eyes widened wondering where it went before she tripped, tumbling across the ground to land with a hard thud on her back. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” Dash groaned hearing the thud of a hoof near her head. She opens her eyes her ears flatting in panic as the thing stood over her. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” Dash whimpered as the creature lifted its arm up pointing the dripping mess of red at dashes face, the instrument of death surely covered with Rarity's blood. “Chh chh chh..... ahh ahh ahh...” The thing reached up to it's mask slowly lifting it and Dash shut her eyes expecting the end. “So what do you think I should call it Dashie? I asked Rarity but she fainted when i spilled some on her.“ Dashes eyes snap open to see Pinkie Pie's face under the mask as she holds up the object in her hoof.The pink pony looks over the long pastry curiously before looking back down at Dash. “Chh chh chhchimmy cherry, or cherry changah ah ah.” Pinkie questions. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” screams Dash. =========================================================== Roseluck, Daisy and Lily all scream out loud along with Dash, even though the pegasus was only on TV. The bounce about and try to hide behind one another. The couch, having none of their nonsense, flips over backwards dumping the struggling Flower Trio onto the floor in an explosion of ponies and popcorn. “The horror, the horror.....” mutters Lily.
