> A Summer To Die For > by Mr.Gamernator > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > What happened last summer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- She started to run quickly. She was out of breath, but she had to run or else they would get her. Why me? Gumdrops thought. I have done nothing wrong. Where's my child? Gumdrops searched frantically around the room. "Friddle where are you?" Gumdrops shouted. She hoped they hadn't gotten her baby. "Fri-" "She's over here!" said a deep and dark voice. "Let's get her!" Gumdrops searched around the room for a place to hide. The monsters or soul takers were after her. She could here them getting closer and closer. The room was dark with a king size bed which she could fit under it. She took her chances under the bed, even if it would be fatal if the soul takers ever found her. They would devour her soul of course and use her body for evil or they would feed on her body. She dove under the bed just has dark mists went into the room. "Search the room!" one of the soul takers demanded. As they looked through the room, Gumdrops felt an evil presence next to her. She slowly turned her head around to be met by glowing red eyes. "Haven't you been naughty." the soul taker said. Screams pierced through the nights, and then everything was silent. Friddle laid in one corner and watched everything happen. She saw the evil dark mist drag her mother into the room she was hiding in. She saw how they quickly ate her body, leaving the intestines and gore for later. It was too much for a 14 year old pony to be seeing. She didn't ask for her mother to die in a such horrid situation. She knew the soul takers had seen her though. They didn't devour her soul or used her body for evil, but they did give her a reminder that they had been there. Her mothers eyeballs rolled in her direction. They stopped rolling and stared at her direction. Friddle couldn't help but sob a little, covering her mouth as she did so. At a blink of an eye, the soul takers were gone. Friddle sat there for a moment staring at her mother's body, or what was left of it. Her stomach had been left torn open, nothing inside it. The legs were half eaten and there were still sharp teeth marks on them. Blood was all over the floor and soon all over Friddle as she lay next to her mother crying for hours. At that very moment, something inside Friddle had snapped. This summer is ruined! she thought. They took away my mother and that was my only family left! It isn't fair how everypony can enjoy their summer while I lay here crying in pain and witnessing the gruesome sight of my mother being torn apart by soul takers! Peaceful little ponies playing around all day while I have to repeat the same disgusting image all over again! Well they'll be in for a little surprise. ________________________________________________________________________________ Ten days after the incident, no one has heard of Friddle. Everypony just dismissed the idea. That same day, a little pony by the name Frolick was walking around Ponyville when she saw a weird looking cabin. It was strange to her because the cabin was near the Everfree forest. The cabin was HUGE and it was covered in black. Frolick was a curious little pony and when it comes to exploring on a bright sunny, she was up for anything. She entered the cabin and the door made a squeaky noise. The sound hurted her ear so she decided to leave the door open so she wouldn't have to hear it again until she left. The door gave some light to the cabin, but there was nothing inside the cabin. Frolick was about to leave when something caught her eye. In a corner of the room there was the stomach of a pony, torn open with nothing inside it, and legs cut in half with some wierd looking teeth marks in it. Frolick began to panic and was about to leave when the door closed. "Well look what we got here, a little guest." a sinister voice said. Frolick screamed but a hoof was clamped over her mouth. Twilight decided to take Spike to the river so he can stop whining about getting to bathe in it. "Gee, thanks Twi, I dunno what to say." Spike said. "Cut the crap, you only get 5 minutes." Twilight said being annoyed about Spike's continuous whining the past 5 hours. "Ah, finally we arrive here!" Spike said. "Ok 5 minutes on the clock, GO!" Twilight shouted. "Here I g--AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Spike shouted. "What is it now, afraid to jump in?" Twilight said rolling her eyes. "Is that a pony with its eyes torn out?" Spike said and pointed at the pony near the river. "Sweet Celestia, that's Frolick!" Twilight shouted. "Come on let's go get the police!" Friddle lay in the cabin with her eyes open. She had a sinister grin on her face. That felt so great! she thought happily to herself. Frolick's expression when she saw me take out that nice was just hilarious! This may be my first kill, but look out Ponyville, Friddle's is going to get you. Friddle laughed frantically and put Frolick's eyes in the jar. In the jar she marked EYE COLLECTION. "So officer what do you think may have happened to this pony?" Twilight asked the officer. "In my opinion, somepony used a knife to tear the eyes out." The officer said looking at the body. "Somepony tearing the eyes out?! Are you nuts?! In a peaceful town like Ponyville!" Twilight said. "Well if it wasn't somepony then we must be facing a real monster here." The officer said. "Oh no, not another one. The changelings were a big problem already. Why don't these monsters learn that they never win?" Twilight said. "Somepony told me that they have seen this pony walking near the Everfree forest. I'll have to check that area." The officer said and with that he left. The officer came across a big black cabin. this may be a good place to search for clues. he thought. The officer entered the cabin, greeted by the same squeaky noise Frolick heard,too. The officier left the door open to shine some light inside the cabin. "Where's a fashlight where you need one?" he grumbled. He looked around the cabin but saw it was empty. Something in the corner caught the officer's eyes. There was the stomach of a pony, torn open with nothing inside it, and legs cut in half with strange teeth marks in them. He went to take a closer look at the body when the door closed. "Hey who's there?" the officer asked looking for his gun. "Just your worst nightmare." a psychotic voice said. The last thing the officer heard was the sound of a chainsaw. ________________________________________________________________________________ Friddle slept peacefully that night. She also had her eye jar in next to her. There was only one difference, there was a new pair a eyes in it. The room had also changed a little. Joining her mother's body was the police officer's legs. Friddle decided to dump the rest of the officer's body parts in the Everfree forest so the animals can finish it off. There were no more murders that summer. No one heard of the officer after he went to investigate. Everything returned to normal and everypony was looking forward to a brighter future. Friddle stared silently at the moon in the sky during the last few days of summer. She didn't want to kill anymore because she was thinking of more surprises for next summer. She would prepare during fall, winter and spring before she would take action. I'll be back next year Ponyville, bigger than ever, just you wait... > Memories of the Past > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friddle hadn't automatically decided to become a murderer. The pan was hatched inside her for about 6 years for as long as she remembered. Friddle had everything ready for her strike in summer. She laid in the middle of the Everfree forest to think about all that has happened in her life that drove her to yearn for more killings and why she keeps her victims eyes in a jar. Friddle remembered how terrified she had been when the soul takers were after her and her mother and how they ate her body. It hadn't been the first time she had experienced a family member being torn apart like that. She started to cry remembering her brother, sister, and her father. She all loved them very much, just like her mother and all had painful death, just like her mother. She remembered every detail clearly now. She remembered when the two ponies that unleashed the Ursa minor. Who were they again?, she thought. Snail and.... Well never mind. I'll know then when I see them. _______________________________________________________________________________ (Flashback) About one month ago, her father took her to walk through the Everfree forest to go on an adventure. Friddle, just like Frolick, was a curious little filly. She wanted to find out why everypony were quivering when they heard the name "Everfree forest". They decided to go out in the night because that's when all the creatures creep out of their hiding places. Friddle had heard of a pony named Trixie who claimed to be "The greatest magician in Equestria". She had also heard that she diminished an Ursa major and locked it in the Everfree forest. Friddle, just like everypony, was impressed. She truly believed Trixie and respected her. As she trotted slowly through the Everfree forest with her dad, making sure nothing was watching them. Friddle had the cutie mark of a siren, which to her represented her loud voice for when she's screaming and being able to sense danger. Friddle was afraid that something was moving around through the hole Everfree forest. "D-d-dad can we go home?" Friddle stuttered. "I feel there's danger around us." "Of course there's danger around us," Friddle's dad said, "this is why it's called the Everfree forest. This is where lots of creatures lurk around." "L-l-lots?" Friddle said nervously. "How many?" "People say around one hundred." Friddle's dad said. Friddle's dad, Garendo, was an explorer of the Everfree forest. That's why his cutie mark was a picture of a forest. Garendo got used to the creatures in the Everfree forest and knew how to protect himself. He thought nothing could hurt him. Was he ever wrong. Friddle decided to stop talking. She could tell that her father knew she was worried. That's when it happened. It didn't come quickly but Friddle knew that something was lurking in the shadows of the Everfree forest. Soon her senses started to increase and she knew something very big was near them. "Dad let's get out of here!" Friddle screamed, not in her siren voice though. "Now Friddle will you pl-." Friddle's dad began to say. "RAWR!" something said. "HELP! HELP! DAD LET'S GO!" Friddle screamed in her siren voice. They started to run through the forest very quickly. They turned their heard around just in time to see the Ursa minor chasing them through the forest. "Keep running Friddle!" her father screamed. Just after he said that he tripped over a piece of wood that somepony left behind and twisted his ankle. "DAD!!" Friddle shrieked. "Keep going Friddle!" Her dad shouted angrily. "Don't forget I love you! Tell your mom, brother, and sister I love her." "But-" Friddle said with tears in her eyes. "Go Friddle and run to safety!" Her dad screamed. Friddle began to run faster than ever, but she still took one last look at her father. She saw how he groaned as he tried to get up without succeeding. She also saw the Ursa minor step on him and his head popped, making the brains and eyes roll to her direction. She gasped at the sight and wanted to vomit. She then saw the Ursa minor roar and turn its gaze on her. She ran all the way to Ponyville, too choked up from crying to scream. How had she known who were responsible for the release of the vicious creature? She saw when Twilight had given them a punishment for unleashing the creature. When she came back to Ponyville she also discovered that her brother and sister had been squished by the Ursa too. She remembered the horrible sight as she saw her siblings' heads popped open and blood rushing out. She also remembered that their brains and eyes were near them. The eyes just stared at her blankly. Those two should be punished! she thought angrily. They should be killed! Twilight gave them a silly punishment! Everyone in Ponyville acts like nothing happened! Makes me so mad I wanna kill them all! Now Friddle, you're losing it. You still have your mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Friddle now had lost her mother, leaving no other family member left to comfort her craziness. She had suffered too much the past month without her father,sister and brother. They always protected her, since they were older than her. As soon as they had died, a couple of days later, she was raped and robbed out of her money. Of course, the criminal didn't suffer to many consequences. He just had to scrape floors of the Town Hall every night for two weeks. Everypony acted like that wasn't very horrifying. For her, it was worse the second worst thing that has happened in her life. She wanted to kill them all, one by one, but she still had her mother to support her through difficult times. Now since no one was left to comfort her or protect her, she released her anger and vowed to make everypony suffer the way she had. This summer, everypony was in for a BIG surprise. > Death Emerges > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHECKLIST: Eight, big, soundproof cabins [x] Hacksaw, chainsaw, knife, and other deadly weapons [x] Ticket to Fillydelphia [x] _______________________________________________________________________________________ Friddle thought that the list wasn't completed enough but she had the other plans in her mind. She only needed to make sure that she had completed everything that she had put on the list during spring. June was the month where the weather was the warm and many ponies would go for a walk, so Friddle had to stay out of sight before she got caught. That day was a warm summer day, especially for June 24th, the day the schoolponies got out. Friddle could here the screams of joy of the children while she hid in the trees and watched them. They jumped around on the grass ran to hug their parents. Oh how happy they were. It made Friddle angrier. In about 10 minutes almost all the ponies were gone. Only 3 remained. One had red hair and yellow skin. The other one had purple and pink hair with white skin. The last one had orange skin with purple hair. They all didn't have cutie marks. "So Cutie Mark Crusaders," the red-haired pony said, "what should we do today to get our cutie marks?" "Ooo!" squeaked the purple and pink haired pony, "We should... uh..... Scootaloo what do you think?" "Well I think we should.... umm.... Applebloom can you help us?" said the purple haired one who must be Scootaloo. "I asked you because I didn't know." Applebloom said. "Sweetiebell always has something to do." "Well not this time." Sweetiebell said. "Why don't we all think about it for a minute?" "YEAH!" Applebloom and Scootaloo shouted, nodding their heads. The ponies put their hooves in thier neck and thought. Friddle saw her chance and came into the opening. "Hello girls, how do you do on this fine day?" Friddle asked in a sweet voice. "Well we were thinking on a way to get cutie marks." Applebloom said. "We don't have anything in mind." Sweetiebell said. "Yeah, it sucks." Scootaloo said, crossing her hooves together. "Well I think I have something that can help you get those cutie marks." Friddle said. "REALLY?!" The ponies asked hopefully. "Yes!" Friddle exclaimed. "It is something to die for." "Wow, so what is it?" Scootaloo asked. "It's a surprise, follow me." Friddle said. She began trotting down the path that led to the Everfree Forest. "Wait, is the surprise in there?" Sweetiebell said nervously. "Why, yes. Is there a problem?" Friddle asked. "NO!" the ponies shouted. Freaks, Friddle thought. They entered the Everfree forest and Friddle led them to the cabins. "Looks like someone lives here." Applebloom said, looking at the big cabins. "Well girls, each of you pick one cabin this is an individual task, but each will get the same cutie marks." Friddle said. "Ok." the three ponies said, looking at each other. As Sweetiebell picked her cabin, she thought something wasn't right. Why is our task in the Everfree forest, and why do we have to be seperated by each other just to get the same cutie mark? Something isn't right... she thought. She decided to get out of the cabin and tell this to Friddle. When she got out, Friddle was no where to be seen. She knew that Friddle will get angry if she saw her outside the cabin, so she decided to hide behind the trees and leaves, so she can watch Friddle come back because there were no windows in the cabins for some reason. What if she wants to hurt us? Sweetiebell thought. I gotta warn the others. Sweetiebell came out of her hiding place and went to Applebloom's cabin first. She opened the cabin door and whispered, "Applebloom come quick." Applebloom came out of the cabin and closed the door. "What is it?" Applebloom said. "Don't you want your cutie mark, yes or no?" "We gotta warn Scootaloo, she may be trying to hurt us." Sweetiebell said. "How?" Applebloom asked. "Why do we have to be seperated just to get the same cutie mark? Why is our task in the Everfree Forest? Where is she right now? Why isn't there no windows in the cabin?" Sweetiebell questioned her. Applebloom stood there for a moment wondering. Then her eyes opened wide. "Oh my god we gotta warn Scootaloo!" she exclaimed. "Shh, she might hear us." Sweetiebell said. "So which cabin did Scootaloo pick?" "I thought you knew!" Applebloom said. They heard leaves shuffle. "There's no time! Quick hide here." Sweetiebell whispered and they hid in her hiding place. They saw Friddle come out of the bushes. She was holding a chainsaw. She went to the cabin on the top right corner. She opened the door. "Hey!" they heard Scootaloo shout. "What's that?" The door closed. Everything went silent. _______________________________________________________________________________________ "Where are the girls, what is taking so long?" Twilight said looking at the time. It was 5:30 PM. She knew the girls weren't outside for that long. "Twi, I'm getting extremely worried." Applejack said. "Oh my, my hair sure looks messy." Rarity said looking into a mirror. The two ponies glared at her. "Oh, poor ponies, they must be lost and hungry." Rarity said in a sad voice. "Well there's only one place they would be lost." Twilight said. "You don't mean..." Applejack said. "You aren't talking about..." Rarity said. "Yes they must be in the Everfree Forest." Twilight said. The ponies took a big gulp. "Well, gulping isn't going to help us, let's get this show on the road!" Applejack exclaimed and the three ponies went running towards the Everfree Forest. _______________________________________________________________________________________ After a few minutes, Friddle came out of the cabin. She appeared to be dragging something right behind her. It only took a moment for the two ponies to realize what it was. There was Scootaloo except she looked very different. She had no eyes, no legs, no tounge, and her stomach was cut open. Her intestines, organs, and heart fell on the ground. Blood oozed everywhere. Applebloom almost let out a shriek but Sweetiebell clamped her hoof on her mouth. "Oh, made a mess." Friddle said. "Might let dogron this clean it up." Friddle went into the bushes and came back with a half dog and half dragon creature. It was small, had dragon legs, and the body of a dog. It had razor sharp teeth and was attached to a string. It tried to escape but the string was too strong and also was the grip of the pony. "Here's your food, now eat up." Friddle said. She tied up the string on a steel pole, next to the cabin. The dogron began eating Scootaloo's body, or what was left of it. The two ponies looked like they were gonna throw up. "Ok, let's escape and tell the others." Sweetiebell whispered nervously. The two ponies began to move quietly through the leaves. "We're almost there, I can see the exit." Sweetiebell whispered happily. Applebloom couldn't take a lot of pressure no more. She shrieked and ran out of the bushes. Sweetiebell followed. Friddle heard the shriek and saw the girls running. "NO! YOU LITTLE TWIRPS CANNOT ESCAPE ME!" She yelled in a crazy voice. "RUN APPLEBLOOM SHE'S GAINING ON US!" Sweetiebell screamed. Friddle stopped when she noticed three ponies in the distance and threw herself into the bushes. My plan is ruined because of those little rascals! she thought angrily. She hid there in the bushes and watch the little ponies run towards the three big ponies. Friddle had heard of them, they had saved Ponyville many times, but not her family. She again began to get really angry at them. "TWILIGHT! APPLEJACK! RARITY! HELP US!" Sweetiebell said. "WE'RE COMING!" Twilight said. "THERE'S SOMEONE HERE AND SHE IS-" before Sweetiebell could finish, she tripped and hit her head against a big rock. "SWEETIEBELL!" the four ponies exclaimed. > The Vanishing Killer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been days after Sweetiebell hit her head on the rock. She lay in the hospital, the mane six watching her. The doctor told everyone that the fall was hard enough to drive her into a coma. She wouldn't be in a coma for long but she was sure to not wake up in a month or 2. "Poor little filly," Applejack said sadly, "she was so cheerful and enthusiastic. Now she's all... hurt" The rest of the ponies helped Rarity in the house since she couldn't stand a chance of looking at Sweetiebell. If it weren't for them, Ponyville would've become Tissueville. Now Rarity had her hopes up high that Sweetiebell would come out of this mess all right. They all wish they could've said the same for Applebloom. After the incident, Applebloom would not say anything about what happened the night Scootaloo had been killed, and Applejack found her cutting herself with a razor. She was put in an asylum. Applejack visited her recently, but always returned home with no reply from Applebloom. It was a very sad moment for the mane 6 and everyone who had known the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They all wanted to make sure they were alright, even made cards for them. ______________________________________________________________________ "Why did this happen to them?" Applejack said. "Who could do such evil to these ponies?" Fluttershy said, tears streaming down her face. "Well when I find them, they would get a taste of the Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash said shooting punches into the air. "If there was only a spell I could use,, we could find the person that did this." Twilight said. "All I have is this invisibility potion." "Why were they there in the first place?" Rarity asked thoughtfully. Everypony looked at each other. "You're right they don't go trotting down the Everfree Forest without a reason." Twilight said. "Well it's getting awfully late, we should discuss tis in the morning." Pinkie Pie said. "Well, okay, see you girls tomorrow." Twilight said as she followed them to the door. Friddle hid in the corner of Twilight's house. An invisibility potiion, eh? she thought. [iNow no one will ever see me and I could kill people in public, without being cut. FINALLY PEOPLE WILL SEE THE WRATH OF FRIDDLE!] ________________________________________________________________________ "An invisibility spell you say?" Spike asked Twilight, looking at the cup. "Yes and I recommend you don't drink it. I need it." Twilight said. "No you don't." "Yes I do." "No." "Damn it Spike just drink the whole thing if you want." Twilight said giving up. Spike took the cup and begin to drink the potion. He soon started to make choking noises. "Oh, Spike, stop fooling around." Twilight said rolling her eyes. Spike started walking towards her, but lost balance. He fell on the floor, gasping for breath. "SPIKE!" Twilight screamed. She grabbed him and teleported him to the hospital. Spike was sent to an emergency room and Twilight had to wait in the lobby. A few minutes later, a cop came into the lobby. They started walking towards her. "Twilight Sparkle, you are charged for trying to poison a teenage dragon." the officer told him. "What? I didn't try to poison anyone!" Twilight exclaimed. "The dragon told the doctor that you said the so called 'invisibility potion' was in the cup, and you told him to drink it all. In fact, the invisibility potion was really poison." the officer informed her. "I swear, it was invisibility potion! I would never do anything to Spike!" Twilight said, shocked. "The good news is that he survived. The bad news is that you will be in prison for 2 days." the officer said. "I'm innocent!" Twilight yelled as she was being dragged away by the cop. "I'M INNOCENT!" Everyone who had been watching was shocked. Twilight trying to poison Spike? It must be a joke. The news spread on, and soon it was in the newspaper. Twilight's friend could not believe what everyone was saying. They all knew Twilight and they knew she wasn't capable of killing anyone. Or was she? "That's outrageous!" Rarity exclaimed. "She isn't a murderer!" "Yeah, Rainbow what is wrong with you?" Pinkie Pie asked, glaring at Rainbow Dash. "Well you never know, it's like they say, 'It's always the quiet ones'" Rainbow said. "Fluttershy is the quiet one." Applejack pointed out. Everyone looked at Fluttershy, who was looking at the ground shyly. "Well whatever." Rainbow said. "If you excuse me, I have a day o enjoy." The five ponies walked away. ________________________________________________________________________ Twilight was in her jail cell, depressed and alone. How could they possibly think she was trying to murder Spike? She couldn't recieve visits from anyone and she felt like she let everyone down. The princess wouldn't be pleased to hear of this, Twilight thought. "Aww, look it's Twilight looking miserable." a voice said. "Who's there?' Twilight asked. She couldn't see anyone. "You don't need to know." the voice said. It took a moment for Twilight to realize what had happened. "It was YOU! You took the potion." Twilight shouted. "You're so smart!" the voice said sarcastically. "You tried to kill Spike! How dare you!" Twilight said furiously. "Nope. I wanted to kill YOU! YOU YOU YOU!" the voice said angrily. "But, no it's always the little dimwits to interfere with my plans!" "What have I ever done to you?" Twilight sadly asked, tears forming in her eyes. "You could save Ponyville, but not my family. YOU could also could not care if I was injured and it was all over the news!" the voice shouted. "What?" Twilight asked confused. "Well now you will feel the pain and agony I felt when I kill all the ponies in Ponyville!" the voice said, and Twilight heard an evil laughter. "You wouldn't..." Twilight said surpriesed. "Oh I would, just like I did to Scootaloo!" the voice said. "No... not... why?" Twilight said and began to sob. "WHY ARE YOU SO CREUL?" "Oh that was the beginning. I also killed those two missing people. Don't worry, I'll save you for last." Twilight heard footsteps fading away. She couldn't stop crying. "Oh Celestia, please don't let that cruel pony have her way." Twilight begged. "If only I could warn the others..." In the corner a pony stood. She had heard the conversation. She knew what was in store. The only problem was, how would she stop the evil pony? > Operation Ponyville > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, I walked in the room and she started acting like she owns the place." Klinky said. "Oh, what a douche." Melinda replied back. "So I look at her and -" before Klinky could finish, she started to pour blood out of her neck. "Klinky what's wrong?" Melinda shouted. Everypony looked at Melinda, then to Klinky. "What happened?" was the only thing they could say. Soon, Melinda's throat was pouring out blood, too Everypony began to scream. Rainbow Dash was flying in the air, when he heard screams from the Town Center. He flew swooped down, and saw dozens of ponies with blood pouring out of their necks. All had one thing in common, the same knife mark on their necks. Something is terribly wrong, I gotta warn the others., she thought. She prepared to take of. SLASH! ___________________________________________________________________ Fluttershy was feeding her animals outside, when a group of ponies came running by her house. "Oh my, I'm going to see what is wrong. Stay here my fury little friends." Fluttershy said softly to the animals. She fly by the group of ponies and asked them why they were running. "IT'S A KILLER!" one pony shouted. "AN INVISIBLE ONE!" another one shouted. "IT'S KILLING EVERYPONY IN SIGHT!" "Oh my, I gotta hide my animals!" Fluttershy said, alarmed. As she turned around, she screamed. All the animals had their necks slit opened. "THE KILLER IS HERE!" the group of pony screamed. They all began to run away. "I've gotta warn my friends!" Fluttershy said, and flew in a hurry to Rarity's house. ___________________________________________________________________ Rarity was just finishing her latest dress, when she heard the door to her house open. "Who is it?" she asked. No reply. She heard footsteps, leading to the kitchen. One thing you should know about Rarity's house that it is sneak-proof, meaning that anypony walking, no matter how sneaky they are, would be heard. The footsteps then lead to her workplace. She gasped. No one was there. The footsteps were getting near her. "W-what do you want?" Rarity asked, frightened. "Your death." a voice said, and soon Rarity saw a knife floating in the air. "No please don't." Rarity said. Before she knew it, flour began raining down from the ceiling. "Oh, you're trying to trap me?" the voice said, angrily. The knife raised in the air. "NO!" Rarity screamed. A slash could be heard throughout the house. ___________________________________________________________ Rarity opened her eyes. Am I in heaven?, she thought. No. She looked around. She was still in her workplace. She looked down at her body. She gasped. It was covered in blood. The knife lay right beside her. She also saw a object covered in flour. It looked like a pony. It had a stab wound on its back. She looked up again, seeing Pinkie Pie staring at her. "Pinkie! What happened? How did you get here?" Rarity said. "Well I found a way through the windows." Pinkie said. "How did you know the killer was going to be here?" Rarity said. "Well I heard her saying that she wanted to kill Ponyville for making her suffer, and she was mad at Twilight, which made me think she is also mad at us." Pinkie explained. "I didn't know the killer would be here, but I stayed up in the ceiling with flour and a knife just in case she did." "Aw, Pinkie, you're the best friend anypony would ever had." Rarity said and hugged Pinkie. Suddenly, Fluttershy burst through the doors and entered Rarity's workplace, panting. "There's a killer, she killed my animals, many ponies, including Rainbow, -" she stopped as soon as she saw Rarity covered in blood. "What did I miss?" She asked confused. "Oh Fluttershy." Rarity and Pinkie Pie said giggling.
