Dexter

I've always hated weddings. Well, not hated I just don't understand them. Mabye it's because I can't feel 'love.' Mabye it's because I kill killers. It doesn't matter. Honestly, this is the first wedding I've been to. I'm not here for the cake, not here to celebrate. I don't even know the Bride and Groom. Well, everypony has heard of ser Shining Armour and Princess Cadance. I've been tracking a killer. He kills less important mares such as homeless ones and moves up the chain eventually murdering a member of the Royal Family. I didn't realise his last victims were a pattern, but eventually I found his diary. It mentioned all of them but I had to obey the Code. It took a while, but eventually I found evidence... this monster is efficient and has been doing this for a long time.

His recent victims have been consistent with his pattern and its only obvious that this would be where he kills next. I need to find him though, I have a kill room ready and my best bet to spot him is to keep an eye on Princess Cadance. He'll be watching her too. Before the ceremony itself is a small celebration. It's all part of a ritual... I know how important it is to maintain a ritual. I kept a watchful eye on Cadance as she greeted her guests and her soon to be sister in laws friends. Apparently there was drama at a rehearsal and Twilight Sparkles not attending the ceremony... I don't really care. All I care about is the kill. A thing  note about me is that I enjoy this. The hunt... it keeps me satisfied. I caught a glimpse of the killer. Mr. Green Grass. He was watching the Princess with a hunger. It would happen soon, when she was alone. He was walking toward her, when I bumped into him on purpose.

"Oh, sorry." He said. I decided that if he was out for the kill he might be emotionally vulnerable I usually am in the kill room after all my victims are the only ponies I don't lie to.

"Watch where your walkin'" I said aggressively. He adorned an angry expression then said

"I'll put you in the ground if you talk to me like that again, understand?" He was right in my face about it, and sounded angry but he was quiet

Smirking, I responded "Let's do it. The west garden is empty. Bring it if your such a big shot..." He looked back and forth between me and the Princess and angrily said.

"Alright then, let's do it." We walked to the garden if not a bit cold heartedly. As soon as we walked into the empty garden, I swiftly I injected him with tranquilizer.

He next woke up in an empty room far from Canterlot: in his Ponyville home. I was ready, he was on the table my tools were close at hoof. Eventually he woke up.

"Where the hay am I?" He said, in a surprisingly calm tone. He looked around though his head was taped down. I walked up from behind him and cut his face with a knife. He squirmed, but didn't scream.

"You are in your grave." I said coldly. "Well, your not going to have a grave. You'll have your own spot in a swamp in the Evergreen Forest with some new friends to keep you company." I stuffed the cotton in his mouth with magic before he could respond. "Do you remember their names? Your victims. I do, every single one. I cam understand your urges but I learned to channel it. Your going to be nothing more that fish food in a while. Prepare for the end..." I put some of the blood from his cheek on a blood slide.

He tried to speak, but I interrupted him. I stuck the knife in his neck... and he spoke no more. I smiled. I didn't enjoy the kill so much ad I enjoy the feeling afterwards. The feeling of... I can't really describe it. It's like having control over death the hold it has on the lives of others.

And how easy it is to snuff out a life.
