	Rarisew returned to the Carasel Boutique dragging a bag. She opened the bag and took out a stallion. 

"I'm so happy the meeting is over." Rarisew said to herself. "Twinight is so scary!"

She hooked up the unconscious pony on the wall. 

"Huh?" the stallion asked as he woke up.

"Oh good! You're awake!" Rarisew cheered. "Just hold on while I get everything set up." Rarisew came back with a table. It had her sewing needle and thread. "Now, are you ready?" she asked.

"For what?" the stallion asked.

"Oh, you'll find out!" Rarisew moved closer to the stallion. She put her horn by his arm and started to scrape the skin off.

"Ow! Hey! What was that for!?" he asked.

Rarisew didn't answer. She picked up the skin with her magic and placed it on the table. "Now, let's finish this up!" she said. She scraped the pony until all his skin was gone. Blood was everywhere. 

"Well, I don't really need the body." Rarisew said. "I'll just give it to Appleheart." She started to sew the skin together. "Hm. It needs something." she said. She walked over to where her other supplies were. She stepped on Opal's tail. "Oh, Opal!" she yelled. Rarisew looked at the cat and started to think. "I just got an idea!" she said. "I must let the others know tomorrow at the next meeting!"

Rarity woke up. She looked around. "Where am I?" she asked. She looked over at a shadow. "You over there, can you please tell me where I am?" Rarity called. The shadow starred. She lit her horn.

Rarity's tail was grabbed. "Ow! Hey!" she yelled. The shadow walked closer. 

"Welcome Rarity." the shadow said. "This is your new home."

"What do you mean new home!? I already have a perfect home." Rarity said.

"Oh really? Well, take a look at this." The shadow projected a screen showing Rarity's house. Blood was everywhere, no pony was in the room except for Rarisew, and Rarisew was sewing a dress out of the skin. 

"No! This can't be!" Rarity yelled.

"Oh, but it is!" the shadow said. It disappeared leaving Rarity forced to watch the screen.
