Kyra
Kyra's Welcoming
Previous ChapterNext ChapterKyra stepped outside of the library and looked around. Every pony was going about their business.Kyra started to move but stopped when two ponies stepped in front of her.
"Huh?" asked Kyra, surprised.
"Hiya." said the one on the left. She was a blue pony with a yellow mane. "I'm Bubbles."
"And I'm Derpy." said the one on the right. "Welcome to Ponyville."
Kyra was speechless. She had no idea what to say so she came up with the most original thing she could think of.
"Uh... hi."
"Need somepony to show you around?" asked Bubbles. "I've been told I'm an excellent tour guide."
Kyra thought about this for a second. A pony has offered to show her around. The perfect victim.
"Sure." said Kyra, smiling. "I'd love a tour."
"Great!" yelled Bubbles happily.
"Catch up with ya later, Bubble." said Derpy, walking away. "I got to get back to work."
"Kay." said Bubbles, waving good-bye. "See ya later!" she called back.
Oh, no you won't, thought Kyra.
Bubbles turned back to Kyra. "Ready?"
"Oh, yeah." said Kyra, smiling.
Twilight entered Sugarcube Corner.
"Hiya, Twilight." said Pinkie Pie.
"Hey, Pinkie Pie." Twilight greeted back. She approached the front counter where Pinkie was.
"What's up?" Pinkie asked.
"So, what do you think of Kyra?" asked Twilight.
"Kyra?" Pinkie asked, confused. "What about her?"
"I've been thinking about how I met her."
"You found her in the woods crying, right?" Pinkie asked. "What's weird about that?"
"I'm not sure." said Twilight. "Something just feels... weird."
"And this is my house." Bubbles said, stepping up to the front door of a building.
Kyra stood in front of the house. It looked like an average house in Ponyville. Nothing too fancy.
"Looks nice." said Kyra.
'Yeah." agreed Bubbles. "It's not much. But it's home."
"I wish I had a home." said Kyra, looking sad.
"You don't have a home?" Bubbles asked sympathetically.
"I can't remember."
"Would you like to stay with me?"
Kyra rubbed tears from her eyes and sniffled. "You mean it?"
"Yeah." said Bubbles, smiling. "I've got an extra room I don't use."
"That'd be great." said Kyra, smiling back.
"Geez, Twilight." said Pinkie. "You only saved her."
"I know, I know." said Twilight. "It seemed like the right thing to do."
"It was the right thing to do." said Pinkie, stepping out from behind the counter. ."She was in trouble and you helped her. You did nothing wrong."
"Then why do I feel this weird... energy whenever I'm near her?"
"Ask her." Pinkie suggested.
"Ask her?"
"Yeah. What's the worst that could happen?"
"And this is the kitchen." said Bubbles. She heard no response from Kyra. "What do ya think?" No answer. "Kyra?" she asked, turning around. Kyra was gone. "Kyra?"
Bubbles left the kitchen and returned to the main hallway which led to the front door.
"Hello?" she called out. There was no answer. "Hello?!"
Derpy reached into her mail bag and read the address.
"Bubbles' house?" she asked herself. "What are the chances?"
Bubbles reached the end of the hall and peered into the dining room.
"Hello?"
It was dark so Bubbles reached for the light switch. She flicked the switch but nothing happened. She flicked it again. Nothing.
"What's going on?" Bubbles asked aloud.
She then heard a faint laugh that echoed throughout her home.
"Kyra!" Bubbles shouted, backing down the hall. "You're really starting to scare me."
"You should be scared." said Kyra, sounding as though she was right behind Bubbles.
Bubbles turned around but no one was there. She turned back around and saw Kyra standing in the doorway to the dining room.
"Kyra?" asked Bubbles. "What's going on?"
Kyra said nothing. Just then, shadows shot out of Kyra and traveled down the hallway. There was a red glow emitting from Kyr's eyes as her skin darkened and her hair color changed to black. Her cutie mark changed from a heart to a skull and cross bones. Bubbles let out a scream of fright and rushed for the front door. As she was about to open it a force knocked her aside. She flew into the wall by the stairs and collapsed to the floor. Kyra made her way down the hall.
"What's happening?" asked Bubbles.
There was a knock at the front door. Bubbles looked out the window next to the door.
"It's me, Bubbles!" Derpy called through the door. "You got mail!"
Kyra kept making her way to Bubbles.
"Hello?" Derpy called, slowly opening the door.
"DERPY! RUN!" yelled Bubbles.
The front door slammed shut, knocking Derpy to the ground. Vines shot out of the floor of the hallway. They twisted and turned as they covered the front door. Bubbles tried to get up but some invisible force threw her up the stairs. She landed on the second floor and looked down the stairs. Kyra was coming up. Bubbles turned and started to crawl away from the stairs.
"You can't run from me." said Kyra, reaching the top of the stairs.
Bubbles crawled down the hallway that led to her bedroom. Just then she shot upwards and slammed into the ceiling. She crashed back down to the floor. Then she slammed into the left wall and then slammed into the right wall. She collapsed to the floor. Bubbles coughed up some blood which dribbled down her chin. She slowly looked back and saw Kyra standing over her.
"What are you?" Bubbles asked, tears in her eyes.
"Oh, everypony keeps asking me that." Kyra said squatting down over Bubbles. She was so close that Bubbles could feel her breath. "And I keep telling them the same thing."
"W-what's that?" Bubbles asked, crying a little.
Kyra said nothing. She just smiled as Bubbles' front-right leg flew off. Blood splattered all over the walls as Bubbles let out an agonizing scream.
Derpy backed away from the house and looked up at the upstairs window.
"Bubbles?!" she called out.
"Please!" Bubbles cried. "Stop!"
"Stop?" Kyra asked. "I'm just getting started."
"KYRA, NO!"
Bubbles' back-left leg flew off and blood splattered the upstairs window. She let out a scream louder than before.
Derpy's eyes filled with tears.
"Bubbles!" she cried out. She fell to the ground, dropping her mail bag.
Bubbles' other back leg slowly began to pull away from her body. She let out small scream that built up to a louder one as the skin on her hip slowly began to tear. Blood squirted out as her leg slowly tore off. Her other front leg began to do the same. Tears began to pour from Bubbles' eyes as she continued to scream in agony.
"What's the matter?" Kyra asked standing up. "We're almost done." Bubbles said nothing. "And now for the grand finale..."
A force suddenly whipped Bubbles around onto her back. Then she suddenly felt a pain in her chest.
"What's going on?" she cried.
She let out a loud moan and then a scream. Suddenly her stomach burst open and all her internal organs shot upwards, splattering all over the ceiling. Bubbles lay still as her organs rained back down, covering Kyra in blood and guts. She then knelt down and began to lick up the blood.
"Tastes so good." Kyra said with a blood-stained smile.
