Nightmare at the Gala!

The murderer stands in the middle of the circle, glancing at everypony. Some can't even control their fear, as they are shaking. The silence is a cold, bitter tone in the Halloween night. The murderer walks to Twilight's body, and stays there. "Poor Twilight, all she wanted was to warn you ponies about me, and you all blew it. You may be hearing the same thing over and over, but you all need to understand how much damage I've done." Fluttershy thinks about what the murderer just said. "Why is the murderer playing vulnerable?" she whispers to herself. "It all started with Applebloom." The murderer slowly starts to chuckle. "Then Shining Armour died, that death was pretty ugly. Then Gilda got hit by the train, that death was pretty funny." Rainbow Dash starts to twitch in anger. "Then their was poor Sweetie Belle, that was such a unfortunate event, but it's nothing her sister can do anymore." Other ponies stare in disgust while the murderer chuckles away. "Let's see... aha! I sliced open Gummy, I hung Scootaloo, I was the one who killed Rarity with the scooter, poor Pinkamena had a seizure, your princess of the night burned to death, because of Spike, who is also dead because of you ponies always panicking, but I'm not complaining, seeing all of you erupt into panic cracked me up! After Spike, the chandelier killed that stallion from the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash stomps her hooves on the ground and lets out a huge scream. "HIS NAME IS SOARIN!" Spitfire pulls her back again, "Do you have any idea what your outbursts could do to the murderer?!" whispers Spitfire. The murderer turns back around without a care in the world. "After that, I somehow triggered Applejack's memory to the day her sister died, so I shot the arrow at her before things got worse. Then Twilight Sparkle killed herself, which wasn't even my fault." Rainbow Dash gets angrier and pulls on her mane. "Finally, I sliced open Angel Bunny, but we already know how THAT happened.." Fluttershy starts to cry and Rainbow Dash bolts away from Spitfire. "Do you have ANY idea what Twilight went through to catch you?! She went on a complete rampage, she only cared about the safety of everypony by convincing them that you actually existed. She didn't care about herself. She's seen more than enough; she watched her brother slide down a hill and get trampled to death. Her brain has been filled with MURDER after MURDER and what does it lead to? A blade in her head...  A BLADE!! There's no going back now, HOW do you even live with yourself? Are you insane?!" Rainbow Dash slowly trots back to Spitfire, who calms her down once again. The murderer asks the final question. "Now that her little... rant is over, are there any deaths I missed?" The room fills with quiet murmuring. Rainbow Dash gets a flashback to Sweet Apple Acres; the murderer doesn't know about the Hanging Object. "Spitfire, let me go, I know how to end this.." she whispers. "No! You're gonna get yourself killed!" Rainbow Dash rebels. "Trust me." she says as she goes back to where she was before. "YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE HANGING OBJECT!" she screams. The whole room goes silent again. "Hanging Object?!" asks the murderer. "What Hanging Object?" The murderers surprised look turns into an angry look. "So, you thought you could hide a secret like this huh?" the murderer says to everypony, pulling out a larger blade. "Who else knew about it? C'mon, don't be shy." The room is still silent for a few moments. The murderer takes a pony and holds it hostage. "Maybe THIS will make you talk!!" The murderer holds the knife to the ponys neck when a large banging is heard from outside, but the sound is ignored. "One by one, you'll all die until somepony speaks up." Suddenly, the doors to the castle swing open, the lights go out and at the door, is a silhouetted pony with a bat. "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KILL ANYPONY!" yells the pony as they smash the bat over the murderers head, knocking them unconscious. Fluttershy couldn't see what happened, but she understood that for whatever reason, it had to be done, everyponys life was at risk. "I'm just gonna assume that you know something about the Hanging Object?" asks Fluttershy. After a long pause, the pony speaks. "Eeyup."
