A letter

It was Nightmare's night (Or whatever the mlp equivalent to Halloween is...) when Twilight received the message- not knowing how the life she knew would be destroyed and replaced with a world of fear.

"Twilight. I implore you NOT to visit Zecora with friends as planned tonight for HE shall cast out his withering gaze upon you and misfortune shalt turn your lives into a living nightmare. Just don't go!!! THIS CAN ALL END WITH ME...

Yours faithfully

Lun-"

At this point. the letter abruptly stopped as the end of the "n" trailed off as ink spilled across the page and blotted in places.

"Why doesn't Luna want me to visit her?" twilight thought contemplating the letter. The night air was abruptly cut with a knife as a dethaning scream ripped through the small town like a missile.

Twilight slammed the book down, knocked on some doors and the group set out towards the forest...

Cliches and blood...

"Are you really sure this is a good idea? Because you know about all those cliche moments in horror movies when the hero ignores EVERYTHING the letter said and ends up dead because I don't want to end up like that..." Pinkie said in the same hyperactive manner that she always had when another scream cut thourgh the air.

"Okay- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!" Rainbow tried to say calmly but failed miserably as the terror escaped in her voice.

"WHERE'S FLUTTERSHY???" Rarity tried to without being scared...

"WHAT IS THAT?!?!" Twilight asked when everyone turned and looked in the direction her hoof was pointing. Standing just behind a tree around 100 metres stood a figure at 6-7FT. But what was different was how it looked- it was wearing a black dinner jacket with a grey tie. The arms went down to it's knees while the middle finger was freakishly long and sharp. But the face- it was deathly white but there weren't any features- no eye's, no nose, no mouth , no hair.

Everyone just stood still, rooted to the spot in terror before Rainbow broke the silence with a single word, "RUN!!!" . At once they all set off at a gallop trying to get away from whatever it was before it took another one of their number for good...

A sharpened branch.

They'd been galloping for around 3 minutes before Twilight decided they could take the hoof off the accelerator when it happened. "Is everyone except Flutters here?" Twilight asked when out of nowhere it appeared in front of them. There was a burst of static and whitenoise.

There was a pause before Twilight finally came to her senses. Her first throught was, "WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYPONY???". Hearing sobbing she then looked to her left. There, sitting on a tree stump, was Rainbow sobbing uncontrollably. Twilight had never seen Rainbow cry but this sure as hell made up for it. "Rainbow?" She asked. "What's wrong?"

"I-I-t-t's F-Fl-lu-t-ter-s-sh-shy..." Rainbow managed to say between sobs pointing her hoof over to a nearby tree. Twilight turned to look at the tree- and promptly vomited onto the leafy forest floor. What had been Fluttershy's body was now impaled to the tree by a sharpened branch going straight through her throat. Her face was distorted in a look of pure terror and pain. Twilight's eyes slowly moved down to Fluttershy's abdomen- or what it had been.

The chest cavity had been cut open and the internal organs taken out and placed in some kind of see-through bags before being replaced in the same places they had been beforehand. Twilight turned her attention back to Rainbow who was still sobbing. She walked over to her. Rainbow flung her forelegs around Twilight and sobbed some more burying her face in twilights mane. Twilight gently began to stroke Rainbows back with a hoof almost like she was comforting a sad filly who had fallen over in the playground. "Rainbow. We'll all be sorry that she died but right now, lets just focus on getting to Zecora's eh?" she gently whispered in her ear.

Rainbow backed off and wiped the tears from her eye's. "I s'pose your right..." she said. "Let's get going..." and they both began to walk. They didn't care what direction anymore providing they found the rest of the herd and made it to Zecora's house- alive...

Proxy

Meanwhile, at another location, Rarity was having problems of her own. When it had caught up, she'd been seperated from the rest of the herd and hadn't been able to find either Pinkie or anyone else. She was about to give up hope when she heard a rustling of leaves around 20 metres away. "Hello? Anypony there?" she called out. Two figures emerged from behind a tree. It was twilight and Rainbow. "Thank God your here." She said to them as they embraced.

ER...Where's Pinkie?" Twilight asked.

She didn't have to wait long for an answer. A sound that could only be described as hissing began to pierce the night air along with a rustle of leaves. Then they saw her. Pinkie stepped out from behind a tree wearing a white mask (?), her hooves were covered in blood and dirt caked her mane and tail.

"Very funny Pinkie. You got us now stop tricking us because this is getting out of hand..." Rainbow said. Pinkie turned her head to the group. She hissed back again and began to sprint towards them. She reached Rarity and grabbed her by the neck and began to twist- slowly at first, but getting quicker and tighter with every twist. Twilight and Rainbow just watched in horror at the nightmare unfolding before them, routed to the spot with terror. Eventually, Rarity's neck snapped and blood began to gush out of the now severed artery's like a geyser as her lifeless body fell to the leafy forest floor. A now even more blood splattered Pinkie turned back to them and smiled a physcopathic smile before running towards them at full speed.

"RUN!!!" Rainbow yelled as the two remaining ponies took off at a gallop, desperately trying to escape from Pinkie not knowing whether they would see the next day or not...

"At last, Pinkie grew tired and flopped to the floor of the forest gasping for breath. But twilight and Rainbow kept running towards a faint glow around 500 metres away- their last hope of salvation lay on this place- and then they ran into it again- only this time, it had work to do...

The pain of loss...

Rainbow and Twilight skidded to a halt as they saw the drama unfolding in front of them. Twilight stared, Rainbow vomited onto the ground. Whatever it was was doing it's job. It was sharpening a tree branch with the middle digit while keeping an eye on a bound and gagged Zecora.

They dived into the cover of a nearby bush praying it didn't turn its head in their direction. When it finished the job of sharpening the branch, Zecora was untied and ungagged. Zecora began to cry then, shrieking for mercy hoping anyone would hear. Twilight was trying to resist the urge to use magic on this thing. It raised Zecora to it's head height, poised to thrust the branch through her throat. A ear bursting screech was heard followed by the crack and squishing of a branch going through bone and flesh. Still screaming, It did exactly what it had done to Fluttershy only minutes ago.

Zecora finally fell silent, too weak to cry for help, her forelegs and back legs flailing in the air as she breathed out her last. Rainbow turned her head and saw Twilight sobbing uncontrollably. Her body convulsing in pain and sorrow. The pain of loss had hit her the hardest.

"I should've listened to Pinkie..." she managed to say before a new wave of tears and sobbing began. Rainbow put her forelegs around Twilight's shoulders and hugged her then. Gently rocking her back and forth like she was comforting a foal who had cut herself while trying something she shouldn't have. (for the more dirty minded of you, NOT SEX OKAY?!?)  Twilight just wouldn't stop crying. Zecora, at first treated as an outcast by all of them, had then become a close friend, and it had ended like this??? With Zecora impaled to a tree while Twilight was sobbing and just generally making a racket.

"Listen Twilight, when this is over, we can morn then but for now, we just have to get the hell out of here okay?" Twilight simply stepped away and nodded. And then they found out what had happened to Applejack.

They snuck past the grisly scene and went over to the fire on the other side of the clearing, Applejack was bound and gagged just like Zecora. After some more grappling with the rope, she came free. They embraced then before Applejack simply said two words- "Behind you..."
