Shay stood with his family at his side, all of them were crying about his mother dying. he sat down as they buried the coffin, no emotion, no tears, no feelings, just his mother's death.
Shay heard whispers whip around once everyone was gone, and come and go through his ears once he started to see a shadow in the distance, it walked closer and closer. It was an alicorn mare. She took off her hood and trotted to the grave. She chanted something. Shay stood and blushed a bit when he started to think of her, her beautiful mane, tail, horn, and wings. It took a second for shay to realize that this was death, the pony of the dead, he sends them to their homes after death.
"Gah, stop it shay, this is death your talking about. Grr... Just walk up to her, what could go wro... Death would go wrong. UGH your such a chicken shay, just walk up to her and say hi, who cares who she is, she might be friendlier than you think, SO GO UP THERE!" He thought to himself.
Shay began to walk up to the mare to say Hi but before he could take a second step, he couldn't feel the ground anymore. "What are YOU doing here, mutt?" Asked the figure.
"Uh... Umm.. Uhh.. H-hi." He said, blushing. "I'm shay, you are?" "Death." She answered, pulling up the good of her hoodie.
"Your mane is beautiful." He said in a whisper.
"Uh, thank you." She said, walking away. "I hope to see you again, shay." She said, letting him fall back to the ground. He had to see her again, he loved her, he knew it was true love. He thought for a bit and realized that the only way to see her again, was to kill other ponies.
Shay exited the graveyard once death was gone. He saw a rose and thought of death, it was a crimson red. He picked it up with his teeth and smiled. "I'm coming for you, father." He said lurching into a sprint. even though his dilemma was bad enough, he needed to make a choice, and he made it.
The very next day, Poppy seed sat in his chair after his son left for school. It had been a few hours of doing nothing, so he sat, reading the paper as he sipped his herbal tea. he suddenly heard a few hard, slow knocks on the door. He set down his tea and walked over hoping to see his wife and son together at the door, joking around like they usually are. He took a few more steps and answered the door and saw his son, and then nothing.
Shay stood, looking at what he just did and looked at his hooves.
"I feel... So..." He smiled with his blood covered mouth. "Free..." He sat and waited for death to come, and finally saw her at midnight, the same time he saw her last night.
"Hello, shay." She said with her raspy voice.
"Hi, I knew I would see you again." He said with a wink.
"I got you something, Death." He said, holding something behind his back.
"Oh, I need to hurry up, sorry shay." She said, pointing at the body.
"Okay..." Shay said, sighing quietly. Her footsteps and the sound of magic filled the room as she began her spell. Shay looked to his hooves, waiting for her to finish.
after death finished her spell she began to walk away, slowly fading into the distance, but before she was completely gone, she lifted up the rose behind shay's back with her magic and smiled, and with a wink, she left.
Once shay heard the sound of cops in the background. His cutie mark meant something, and that something was pulling chaises, so he ran.
He ran as fast as possible, he felt like he was taking to the skies he was going so fast. He felt a rock hit his foot and he tripped. He felt weak all of a sudden. He couldn't move, he was too weak. He felt pain in his leg, and a really bad pain in his back. He began to stand but he was in too much pain, the everfree wasn't that far, Neither was the train station. He thought for a few moments before making the choice of going into the everfree forest. He walked this time, but heard the cops getting louder and louder. He was now too stressed to think, he took to long anyway, now he could see them, so he lurched forward, knocking out one of the cops with one hoof, then bucked another, and smashed the other's head in. This time, he did not care if Death came or not, he needed to get away before anypony else found out. So he dragged the bodies to the everfree to make it look like it was an accident.
Shay reached the threshold of the everfree and ponyville, and set the bodies down at a tree, and left a white rose at the hooves of the three. "Sweet dreams." Shay said, walking away. He knew some pony would see them eventually, but he didn't care, he would be safe in the forest, alone.
He looked for a nice place to rest and found a nice fox hole to rest in, now that he has no home. "Goodnight..." He said, happily. He fell asleep faster than a bullet.
