Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary

“She lived deep in the forest (just like this one)......

" In a tiny cottage and sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch.” Rainbow Dash started.

Fluttershy’s eyes shone with fear, Rarity dropped a couple of berries that she picked along the way, and the rest of the girls watched with utmost interest as Dash continued.

“None dared cross the old crone for fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch could do to her neighbors.”

“Soon, the little girls in the village began to disappear, one by one. No one could find out where they had gone.” Rainbow said in an eerie voice.

“Oh dear me!” Rarity mumbled.

Rainbow snickered and continued.

“Grief-stricken families searched the woods, the local buildings, and all the houses and barns, but there was no sign of the missing girls. A few brave souls - like me - even went to Bloody Mary's home in the woods to see if the witch had taken the girls, but she denied any knowledge of the disappearances. WHAT?” demanded Rainbow as her friends smirked at her.

“Brave? Anyways, go on, lets see what happens....” Applejack said.

Rainbow dash glared around and continued.

“Still, it was noted that her haggard appearance had changed. She looked younger, more attractive. The neighbors were suspicious, but they could find no proof that the witch had taken their young ones.”

Fluttershy whimpered and buried her head into Applejack’s shoulder and Rarity and Pinkie pie hugged each other in fear.

Rainbow dash looked around.

“Then came the night when the daughter of the miller rose from her bed and walked outside, following an enchanted sound no one else could hear. The miller's wife had a toothache and was sitting up in the kitchen treating the tooth with an herbal remedy when her daughter left the house. She screamed for her husband and followed the girl out of the door. The miller came running in his nightshirt. Together, they tried to restrain the girl, but she kept breaking away from them and heading out of town.”

“Oh the monstrosity! Dear me, what happened?” Rarity asked with a trembling mouth.

Applejack narrowed her eyes, her heart thumping fast and listened closely as Rainbow continued.

“The desperate cries of the miller and his wife woke the neighbors. They came to assist the frantic couple. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed farmer gave a shout and pointed towards a strange light at the edge of the woods. A few townsmen followed him out into the field and saw Bloody Mary standing beside a large oak tree, holding a magic wand that was pointed towards the miller's house. She was glowing with an unearthly light as she set her evil spell upon the miller's daughter.”

“Omgomgomgomgomg! Did they have a p-p-party because someone is dying?” Pinkie shuddered.

“Oh, of course not Pinkie, that would be very mean” Fluttershy’s voice said, as she raised her head from AJ’s shoulder.

“Do you want me to continue or not?” Rainbow hollered.

“G-g-g-go on” stuttered Rarity.

“The townsmen grabbed their guns and their pitchforks and ran toward the witch. When she heard the commotion, Bloody Mary broke off her spell and fled back into the woods. The far-sighted farmer had loaded his gun with silver bullets in case the witch ever came after his daughter. Now he took aim and shot at her. The bullet hit Bloody Mary in the hip and she fell to the ground. The angry townsmen leapt upon her and carried her back into the field, where they built a huge bonfire and burned her at the stake.”

“As she burned, Bloody Mary screamed a curse at the villagers. If anyone mentioned her name aloud before a mirror, she would send her spirit to revenge herself upon them for her terrible death. When she was dead, the villagers went to the house in the wood and found the unmarked graves of the little girls the evil witch had murdered. She had used their blood to make her young again.” Rainbow said.

“Oh how could she do that! I mean beauty is prized but.... *shiver* not in that way!” Rarity shrieked.

“From that day to this, anyone foolish enough to chant Bloody Mary's name three times before a darkened mirror will summon the vengeful spirit of the witch. It is said that she will tear their bodies to pieces and rip their souls from their mutilated bodies. The souls of these unfortunate ones will burn in torment as Bloody Mary once was burned, and they will be trapped forever in the mirror.” Rainbow Dash finished.

“BOO!” Pinkie hollered.

Rarity and FLuttershy jumped up in fear to find out that it was just Pinkie. Applejack looked stunned, her heart nearly stopping, but kept her calm.

“Now, who would like to try that?” Pinkie asked with a malicious smile.

“It’s on!” chorused AJ and RD.

Rarity looked unsure, but with a few minutes of persuasion, she joined in joyfully.

Fluttershy point blank refused and walked to her grass pillow and drifted of to sleep.

Rarity went through her rucksack and pulled out her hand held mirror.
Pinkie, looking at her fellow friends for a cue, started chanting.

“Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.....”

The girls slowly chanted, turning on the spot.

After the third time they said Bloody Mary, the girls peeled their eyes open to see if anything had happened.

They smirked and said “Nothing.”

Pinkie, Dash, and Apples weren’t shaken but...

Rarity felt weird.

The girls spent a little bit more time talking and having wrestling fights. One by one, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie fell asleep.

A soft scream filled the air, the sleeping girls didn’t notice this, but Rarity was gone.

“Ah! No! NO! NOO!” Rarity screamed, her piercing shriek filled the air. But no one could hear. Rarity was lifted in the air, her hair flowing around her face in the most eerie way. She was dragged towards a strange light. To a silhouette of a tall woman, with flowing hair.
