Truly Sleepless in Ponyville

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle sat in the club house. "This ain't fair." Apple Bloom said sadly, Sweetie placed her hoof on her shoulder. "I know, Scootaloo wouldn't want us to mop around, we're still crusaders." Sweetie said. "But what if this pony comes and kills us like he done did Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked, Sweetie was unable to answer.

(That Night)

Mr.Cake locked up the door to Sugar Cube Corner. "There we go, no killer is gonna get in here." Mr.Cake said, it was at least 1:00 pm. "Don't be so sure on that Gramps." Jeff said from afar, he trotted out of the shadows, Mr.Cake turned to the young murderous colt. "Y-you....what are you?!" He asked in fear. "I've become quite popular after what I did to that little pegasus, what was her name? Ah yes, Scootaloo." Jeff said, Mr.Cake started shivering in fear. "Your the colt who cut up that filly?" Mr.Cake asked, Jeff shrugged. "Well last time I checked I was the one who pierced my blade into her flesh and then proceeded to cut the sides of her little muzzle into a smile like mine." Jeff said tossing his knife up and down into the air from his left hoof. "Don't you dare hurt my family!" Mr.Cake yelled in anger. "I'm not gonna hurt your newborns, I passed right by them on my way in." Jeff stated.

"They're far too young to be set free." Jeff said as he started craving his name into a near by table, Mr.Cake stood with his back against the wall. "Then...why are you here!?" Mr.Cake asked in fear. "You....." Jeff stated as he slowly trotted towards Mr.Cake, Mr.Cake tried to make a run for it. "Oh no you don't!" Jeff yelled as he threw his knife at Mr.Cake's back leg, the baker fell to the ground, he groaned in pain, Jeff pulled out his knife, Mr.Cake screamed, Jeff placed his hoof over Mr.Cake's mouth. "Shhhhhhhh." Jeff whispered. "It'll be fine, Just close your eyes..." Jeff whispered with a smile on his face. "And go....to....SLEEP!" He yelled as he repeatedly stabbed Mr.Cake several times in the chest, he then cut the sides of Mr.Cake's muzzle to make the same twisted smile he had on his face. "Sweet dreams old man." Jeff said smiling as he trotted out the near by window.

(The Next Day)

Mrs.Cake cried over the corpse of her husband, Pinkie skipped i. "Hiya Mrs.Ca-" Pinkie halted and froze at the sight of what had happened to Mr.Cake. "No..." Pinkie said as her hair deflated. A Royal Guard came through the door. "The good news is we have a picture of who did this, somepony took it last night." The guard as he showed the picture to Pinkie and Mrs.Cake. "What's with his muzzle!?" Mrs.Cake asked in shock. "We...we don't know." The Guard said sadly. "But we're placing his picture all around Equestria, we won't stop till this bastard is captured, he will be executed once he's caught." The Guard said seriously. "But, nopony's been executed in over 1000 years or at least that's what Twilight's books keep saying." Pinkie said. "Well nopony's ever done something this terrible in that time, we're talking about somepony worse then King Sombra." The Guard said, the two mares were shocked.

(Later)

Pinkie and the other five sat in Twilight's castle. "This little shit has killed two ponies now!" Rainbow yelled in anger, "Wait, I've figured something out." Twilight said, the other five looked at the alicorn. "Think about it, Scootaloo is close to Rainbow Dash. They're practically sisters and Mr.Cake is like a father figure to Pinkie, what if this killer is trying to kill ponies close to each of us." Twilight stated, the others all stared wide eyed at her. "That's frighting to think about." Rarity said, but they all agreed Twilight could be on to something.

(That Night)

Applejack couldn't sleep, the thought of being murdered by that..thing scared her.

(Meanwhile)

Big Macintosh locked up the doors and windows. "I ain't gonna let that freaky bastard get me." Mac said. "Ya know, That Cake guy said something along those lines last night." Jeff's voice stated, Mac turned with a scowl on his face. "So...you made the mistake of coming here at of all places?" Mac asked. "Yeah, I hear that your quite loved in this shit town, it'd be a real shame if you died tonight." Jeff said as he pulled his knife out of the wall. "Come and get me you cocky fuck!" Mac yelled in anger. "Thought you'd never ask." Jeff said as him and Mac lunged towards each other...
