It was a dark and rainy night, the only sound was that of a few cars in the distance and the sound of hoof prints running closer. As the hoof prints came closer through the wet puddles left behind by the rain, some pony yelled ``Help! Thief! He's got my purse!'' But the robber was definitely too far away to be caught by the police now. As the robber ran towards freedom, he spent a moment in the light of a streetlight to catch his breath. The pony was a broad shouldered colt with a messy brown mane and a small beard. After catching his breath after the long run, the messy-maned colt slowly ran towards a dark alley way. At the end of the alley way there was a large mossy brick wall to tall and slippery to climb. The robber was trapped, between what though? The cops were probably too far away to catch up with him, and nopony wanted to get mixed up in a fight with a robber at this time in the night. The colt smelled the air in sign of any danger coming close, and as he did, the foul stench of the sewers filled his nostrils. Other then the sewers, there was another smell, nothing he recognized though. A shadowy figure approached with one silver-gray eye and one amber eye. As it walked forwards, the thief shrank back, even though he was known for many robberies, he was a great coward. ''Who... who are you?'' The thief said frightfully.
''Just call me... the Night Shifter." he spoke quietly.
A flash of brilliant light, and screaming could be heard throughout the night.
