//-------------------------------------------------------// The Ponyville Tormentor -by fox fire- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Animal instincts //-------------------------------------------------------// Animal instincts It was a  night dark and dismal when the reign  of terror began, the cloudsdale murder cases have long been forgotten.On the dark and empty streets of ponyville, a single pony walked casually down the street unaware of the shadow that was following him unaware of the danger that laid ahead when he saw something out the corner of his eye disappearing into the shadows of the alley. He was a little nervous so walked a little faster now, suddenly the shadow dashed across the street he then jogged . looking around nervously he saw the shadow sneaking on the roof tops and dropping in the alley below .He then called out" who....who's there", then the shadow zipped back across the street out of fear he started to run when suddenly something tackled him. He then cried out "what do you want"! He then realized it was just  Pinkie Pie. She then said "you dropped your wallet",He then told pinkie good night and started on his long journey home.He did not get but four blocks away when he saw another shadow or was it the one he saw on the roof tops. Little did he know that he was going to find out soon enough for the shadow had other plans. The lone pony said to the shadow" alright Pinkie Pie i know that's you in the alley".The shadow look up and it's eyes were glowing and his thoughts was it's the pony of shadows.so he ran as fast as he could down the empty streets he then looked back to see if he was being followed seeing nopony around he then started to walk. That was a big mistake for the pony heard a noise ahead of him, he then looked in the direction of the noise and saw the glowing eyes in front of he coming towards he but then it broke apart showing that it was just fireflies. Relieved the pony muttered "oh sweet Celestia it was only fireflies".then a garbage can was knocked over with a loud crash  then he saw the shadow creep out of sight  he then heard the insane cackling of the shadow. Then the shadow started to appear in random alleys all at once the pony then ran to the nearest phone booth and tried to call the police. The phone rang and rang then he heard the voice of the operator and just as he was about to speak the phone line went dead. He then smashed through the glass door trying to run away and heard the voice say "that foolish trying to call the cops this should be more fun than it is",that was followed by the insane laughter of the shadow . he then came to a dead end and started to fly over the wall when he suddenly felt pain on the back of his head.he then crumpled to the ground as the shadow came closer his vision went dark. //-------------------------------------------------------// Nightmares //-------------------------------------------------------// Nightmares                   The pony had just woke up, the vision just returning to him. He looked around and seen that the only light that shown was the moon light that came in through a window. He tried to get up but then realized that he was not touching the ground,he felt something warm on his hooves and looked to see what it was and to his horror there was a meat hook going through his hooves.He tried to let out a scream but couldn't for he had been gagged. Then he heard the voice say" ah good your awake now i can start the process", then the shadow appeared out of the still darkness with a blade and cut the gag off and said "any last words", the pony replied " why are you doing this, is some pony paying you if so i'll double it", the shadow replied" no pony is paying me", then the pony asked "then why are you doing this", the shadow answered "why not". And then laughed insanely and took the knife and pressed it against his coat and pulled the blade slowly cutting the pony. He cried out in pain and the shadow said in a mocking tone "aw does it hurt? I promise it wont hurt long." Then in a psychotic tone the masked pony said "my my four days goes by fast when your  having fun". Then laughing insanely the masked pony  asked " are you hungry " and with that the masked pony took a knife cut a large piece of flesh of of Joe. He screamed with pain as the pony put the piece of flesh over a fire that was keeping the iron rod hot. Then the masked pony said " I'm going to keep you alive for as long as I can, its no fun when you're dead" then the pony laughed some more " you must be thirsty " the pony said and poured salty lemonade on Joes fresh wounds he cried out with pain it seemed like all hope was lost for Joe the masked pony then took the flesh off the fire and forced Joe to eat his own flesh. Then a police pony walked by the window. Joe hoped that the masked pony did not notice the cop but unfortunately the pony saw them too then the masked pony. Joe then tried to scream for help but as soon as he started to the masked pony pierced his heart with the hot iron bar, then the masked pony muttered "I hate when that happens". Then the cops came in the warehouse because they smelled something burning and the found the body, the masked pony was  hiding in the shadow of the warehouse and then looked over its shoulder and said "see you soon babe". Twilight awoke with a start and spike asked "whats wrong"? then twilight said "I must report this to celestia" and with that she run to her writing table and began to write the letter
