Rock-a-by

by Bluemoon1996

"You'll be safe my little angel ..."

A bright beam filled the dank basement as the door opened. "Hello? Anypony down there?" A stallion's voice called out as the stairs began to creak as a unicorn ghoul slowly made his way down the stairs, a flashlight floating next to him.

"Daddy will keep us safe from the monsters..."

Upon hearing those words, the ghoul glanced over at the poorly mummified corpse slumped against the wall. It was a unicorn stallion clad in the tattered remains of a business suit. A small revolver laid on the ground next to him, a single hole in his head.

"We'll never let anything happen to you sweetie..."

The ghoul slowly scanned the room with his flashlight till he saw her sitting on the floor. She was a fellow ghoul and she appeared to be gently rocking something back and forth in her hooves.

"Rock-a-bye baby in the treetops..."

The ghoul sighed. "Not this again," he muttered under his breath as he slowly pulled a revolver out of the holster on his leg.

"When the wind blows..."

The revolver floated towards the mare.

"... The cradle will rock..."

BLAM!

The mare's head snapped back, a hole between her eyes. Slowly, her body fell over, landing with a small cloud of dust. The mummified body of a small filly rolling out of her grasp.
