Chapter 1 It's Starting

The rain dropped heavily onto the roof, poor Scootaloo couldn't sleep as she tossed and turned in her bed. "I can't sleep, damn rain storm!" Scootaloo growled as she threw her pillow at the window in anger, she laid back down and tried again to drift to sleep. A Click was heard as the filly's bedroom window opened, a pale white colt entered and trotted toward the sleeping filly, he placed his hoof on her, she turned and screamed in fear. "I heard...you were having trouble sleeping." He said, she crawled back in fear, sweat dripped down the frightened filly's face. "W-What are you!?" She asked in fear, the white colt walked into the light and revealed the cuts around his muzzle  and his lack of eyelids.

"I'm Jeff.....I'm here to release you." Jeff said as he held a knife with his hoof, Scootaloo shirked. "Shhh, Don't be scared dear." Jeff said as he placed the blade near the young filly's neck. "I'm doing you a favor." Jeff stated as he whispered into her ear. "Now, Go...To...Sleep!" He yelled as he slashed the knife at the young Filly's throat...

(The Next Day)

Royal Guards surrounded the home, Twilight and her friends trotted towards the scene. "What's going on?" Twilight asked. "Somepony was murdered last night." One of the guards stated. "It was a filly." he stated, Dash's heart skipped a beat when she heard does words, Twilight turned to Dash. "Rainbow....I'm sorry." She said sadly, A tear ran down Dash's face as her expression turned from sad to angered. "Who the fuck did this!? I'll kick his ass!" Dash yelled in anger as tears continued leaking from her face. "We don't know, his blood stained hoof prints on the window frame is the only evidence we have." The guard replied, Dash ran into the house, she gasped at what she saw, Scootaloo was laying in her bed dead, her muzzle had been cut at the sides of her mouth into a form of some sick smile, Dash nearly vomited at the sight. "No....I...I....Scootaloo...." Dash said choking back tears, she ran back outside. "Tell me this isn't happening! This can't be!" Dash yelled at Twilight's face, at this point, even Pinkie had a sad look on her face.

(Meanwhile)

Jeff stood in the shadows, he had his hood on to avoid showing his face as his muzzle cuts were a dead give away. "Fuck, you should be thanking me." Jeff said to himself as he watched Dash from afar. "I couldn't kill you, your one of those damned elements." Jeff stated in anger. "But I guess this is close enough." Jeff said as he trotted away before anypony could discover him.

(Later)

The Mane Six stood in front of Princess Celestia. "Twilight, I'd like you and your friends to find whoever did this before he can take anypony else's life." Celestia said. "Yes but, we've defeated ponies like this before but ...they've never killed anypony." Twilight said, Celestia bowed her head. "I know." Celestia stated. "You bet we'll get this bastard!" Dash yelled, they all turned to her. "This guy killed Scootaloo, he's gonna pay!" Dash stated with full rage in her voice, the others decided Dash was right.

Chapter 2 Painted Smile

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...

Chapter 3 The Killer vs The Farmhand

Jeff threw his knife in the air and held in his mouth and began to swing his head in order to slash at Mac, but the red pony dodged all of the killer's attacks. "Your good." Jeff said muffled with his knife in his mouth. "You ain't half bad ya self." Mac replied, Jeff put his knife in his hoof and stabbed Mac in the back. "Shit!!" Mac screamed in pain as blood dripped down his back and mending itself into the blonde hair of his tail. "Tell you what..." Jeff said pulling out the knife from Mac's back. "I'm gonna let you live, but the same won't be said for your little sister, what was her....Apple Bloom right?" Jeff said smugly, Mac scowled. "I'd rather die then let a fucking shit like ya kill anypony in my family!" Mac yelled as he charged at the killer, Jeff laughed. "You asked for it." Jeff said as he stood on his hind legs and cut Mac's cheek, Mac hit the wall and then turned to Jeff as he regained his balance. "I ain't gonna stop until you.....your lying dead on the fucking ground your stan....standing on.....you've taken the lives of both Scootaloo and Mr.Cake........but I ain't gonna let you take the lives of anypony el...else." Mac said as he groaned in pain. "I like your spirit. Instead of giving up your willing to fight me to the death just to protect your family.." Jeff said. "My brother took the blame for something I did just to keep me safe.....you remind me of Lou.....I killed Lou." Jeff said, Mac looked surprised. Jeff laughed. "And you know what, I'm gonna kill you the same fucking way!" Jeff said mixed in with his insane laughter, he slit Mac's throat, Mac gasped as blood dripped from his neck. "Y-you...bastard...." Mac said. "Aw stop, your too kind." Jeff said as he cut Mac's cheeks to reflect his craved smile, Mac screamed his last screams as Jeff did this, Jeff left through the same window he enter through...

(The Next Day)

Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith all stood in front of the mutilated corpse of Macintosh, Apple Bloom cried into her big sister's leg. "That Jeff is taking this too far!" Applejack growled in anger. "I'm gonna kill that colt!" Applejack yelled....

(Later)

Applejack paced through the barn. "That Jeff is gonna get the shit beaten out of him!" Applejack growled. "You say my name." Jeff said as he sat on a barrel, he was picking his teeth with his knife. "No!" Applejack shouted in fear. "Don't worry, I ain't gonna kill you..." Jeff said trotting closer to her, he placed his blade softly under her chin. "I don't kill during the day." Jeff said as his face got closer to Applejack's, he smelled her hair. "Nice smell." Jeff said creepily, Applejack shivered. "Besides, I can't kill you elements." Jeff said in anger, he slightly cut Applejack's left leg so that some of her blood would stain the blood. "But I can still enjoy your blood." Jeff said as he licked the blade to taste Applejack's blood. "Shame I can't kill you, your blood is amazing." Jeff said as he laughed, he disappeared into thin air....
