Pinkamena 6: The Walking Dead

Pinkamena arrived back at the game shop to see Zack waiting for her. She pulled off the cloak and threw it at him. He caught it and held it.

"You stayed." she said. "Good boy."

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

Pinkamena grinned and walked passed him. "I did." Zack watched her head towards the back room. "Get some sleep. We've got a big day ahead of us."

The front door of the shop opened and in walked Ash Brew, followed by a colt. Zack watched them enter.

"Pinkamena here?" asked Ash.

Zack nodded and Ash went to the front door, locking it. Pinkamena left the back room and stared at the colt, who didn't notice the door being locked. He was about to say something when he noticed the gash in her cheek.

"Oh, my God. Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine." answered Pinkamena, approaching him.

"A-Are you sure?"

Pinkamena stopped in front of him and grinned. "Oh, yeah."

She opened her mouth and bit him in the neck, digging her teeth into his skin. Blood gushed everywhere as the colt screamed. Pinkamena then ripped a chunk from his neck and he fell to the floor. Dead. The mare chewed the piece of meat in her mouth and swallowed. She then looked at Ash, who took a step back.

"You did good." said Pinkamena, her gash slowly healing. "Tell Psyche I said thanks." Ash nodded and turned towards the door. "Also..." Ash looked back at her. "Don't forget the last one tomorrow."

"I w-won't." said Ash.

She unlocked the door and left. Pinkamena looked at Zack.

"Help me with this."

Twilight rested her head on the picnic table and sighed. Rainbow Dash lowered herself down on a cloud.

"Nothing yet?" she asked.

Twilight looked up at her and shook her head. "You?"

"No." said Dash. "Nothing. I just spoke with the others and they didn't find anything, either."

"Why is it so hard this time?" asked Twilight. "What is she doing differently?"

"Are you sure she's back? That pink hair could've been anything."

Twilight stood up. "Only one way to find out."

"To the cemetery?" asked Dash.

"Yes."

"Hop on." Twilight hopped onto the table and jumped towards the cloud. She fell through it and landed on her face. "Whoops." said Dash with a chuckle. "Sorry. I forgot."

She jumped off the cloud and helped Twilight up.

"Let's just walk." said the Unicorn.

"You can walk. I'll fly."

Pinkamena was staring at the rotting corpses of the four dead ponies when Zack approached.

"Well, that's one more." he said. "Feel any different?"

Pinkamena turned to face him. The gash on her cheek was gone but her skin was still rotting a bit.

"I don't feel anything. How do I look?"

"Better." said Zack. "Though you still look dead."

"Well..." said the mare with a smile. "One more should fix that." She trotted over to Kat who was standing near the back wall. "How do you think I look?"

"G-Good." she stammered.

Pinkamena patted her head. "Good girl."
