The next day came by quickly, the sun shined on throughout Equestria as all of the ponies began to wrap up their Hearth’s Warming decorations. Next week was winter wrap up, the day where all of the ponies in Equestria clean up Winter, and allow Spring to come. Rarity went downstairs as usual, and made sure to cook breakfast before Sweetie Belle woke up. Rarity did not have a good night’s sleep however, she was still thinking about what happened on the previous day. She could not help but think about the strange voice that she had heard inside of her home, her home where her little sister also lived. She tried to forget, and yet it seemed like the odd and dangerous feeling she had would not go away. It was as if something was going to happen. Something bad.

After eating their breakfast Rarity was going to be out of town until close to night time to personally deliver an order for a very rich client that lived in the outskirts of Ponyville. The client wanted to meet the pony responsible of creating their clothing (it was also as an excuse to yell at the pony who might mess up their order) for them. Rarity knew she could not leave Sweetie Belle alone for that long period of time, she knew her sister could take care of her self, but it was just to be on the safe side. She went around asking her friends if they could watch over her, but none of them were available to help for the whole day.

Finally after much time was wasted, Rarity finally had found a pony who could watch over her little sister. The pony’s name was Sea Swirl, she was a unicorn mare with a lilac coat, raspberry rose eyes, her mane was an iris color, with a cutie mark of two encircling dolphins. Sea Swirl is most known for her time spent in the bowling alley, she was made champion during last year’s tournament. Other than that Rarity didn't know too much about her, though she had interacted with her when Sea Swirl ordered a gorgeous dress from her.

“Oh I can’t thank you enough darling for agreeing to watch over my sister,” Rarity said.

“It’s nothing Rarity, I’m happy to help. Besides, I want to help return the favor when you made that dress for me a few months ago,”

“Oh yes that was simply divine, one of my best works if I do say so. Now when taking care of Sweetie you shou-”

“Rarity I know how to take care of kids, I used to do it before when I was a little filly, had to get bits somehow, and it was pretty easy. Don’t worry about anything alright? I've got everything under control,” Rarity made an unconvinced frown.

“Well, if you’re absolutely sure. I will see you when I return later tonight, I’ll be sure to pay you when I return,” Rarity walked off to the road leading out of Ponyville to the hilltops where her client lived at. It was an old mansion made a few years after Ponyville had been settled, no pony knew much about the current owner as they rarely came out if at all. Usually only servants would come out from that mansion into Ponyville.

At Rarity’s home, Sweetie Belle was playing with Chucky as usual before she heard a knock on the door. Walking up to it she opened the door.

“Hey there kid, I’m Sea Swirl. Your sis asked me to look after ya until she came back, soooo looks like you’re stuck with me for the rest of the day,” Sweetie Belle smiled.

“Nice to meet you, come on in,” Sweetie opened the door wider for Sea Swirl and allowed her into her home.

“Wow, forgot how nice this place was. Oh, who’s this little guy?” Sea Swirl saw the ginger haired doll that the little Sweetie Belle had. Upon walking closer to it Chucky sprung to life.

“Hi I’m Chucky, and I’m your friend till the end. Hidey - ho hahaha,”

“Wow, I heard about these dolls that talked. At first I thought they were cool, but looking at it now is kinda scaring me, especially with that permanent smile it has,” Sea Swirl said.

“Oh Chucky’s not that scary looking, he’s adorable!” Sweetie hugged Chucky. Sea Swirl just rolled her eyes.

“Whatever kid, so you like games? How about we go play something?” Sweetie jumped up at the mention of games.

“Ooh what kind of games?” asked Sweetie Belle. For the rest of the day Sweetie and Swirl played games, watched a few movies on Rarity’s old projector (mostly cheap romance movies) and had a cheese pizza for dinner. Soon it was time for bed for the little unicorn. Sweetie Belle yawned after finishing her glass of water.

“Sound like someone’s tired, come on kiddo time to hit the hay stack,”

“Why would you hit a hays…” Sweetie fell asleep right before finishing that sentence, and began to lightly snore. Using her levitation spell, Sea Swirl lifted the filly up, and placed her in bed and covered her up with the blankets.

After tucking her in, Sea Swirl went back downstairs to wait for Rarity to come back home. As she was sitting on the couch Sea Swirl thought she heard a noise coming from the kitchen. She figured that a pot or something must have fallen off. Getting up from the couch Swirl went to the kitchen and sure enough a pot was on the floor. Picking it up she placed back it back on the rack it was supposed to be on. Turning around she was muzzle to muzzle with Chucky.

“AAAH!” startled Sea Swirl jumped back a bit. She caught her breath and frowned.

“Okay, that was not cool. I don’t care what Sweetie Belle said, you’re really creepy and pretty ugly too,” Swirl went to get a cup to drink some water from the faucet.

“Fuck you,” a voice said from behind Swirl. Swirl turned around only to have a kitchen knife stab her in the throat. Blood oozed and trickled from her mouth, she was unable to speak. She looked in horror as the little ugly doll smiled menacingly at her.

“What was that about being ugly? Ya dumb ass animal,” Sea Swirl fell to the floor, the knife sticking out from her throat. She was dead as a pool of blood formed around her.

“Another dead babysitter, they sure seem to line up for me hahahahahaha!” Chucky walked away from the body little bloody hoof prints marked the steps he took. Chucky went up to Sweetie Belle’s room and wiped off the blood from his shoes using a napkin on her bed drawer.

Chucky smiled evilly at the sleeping filly. Sweetie opened her eyes from the sudden movement on the bed.

“Wha- Chucky?” Sweetie said tiredly.

“Shhh, go back to sleep kid you got a big day tomorrow,” Sweetie nodded and closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

“Soon, you won’t ever see another sunshine again hahahahaha,”

Rarity came back home an hour later. She saw no pony anywhere around the house.

“Sea Swirl I’m back, are you here?” Rarity walked in further and began to smell something awful.

“Ugh, what is that dreadful stench! What have these two been doing in here?” Rarity noticed the red hoof prints that came from her kitchen. Angry, Rarity stormed into the kitchen demanding answers for why her home was in such a poor state.

“Alright Sea Swirl what is the meaning… of… this…?” Rarity saw the blood slowly flowing along the lines in her tiled floor. A dead Sea Swirl was all she saw in the kitchen. Her eyes wide open in a horrifying expression, with a kitchen knife in her throat and little droplets of blood hitting the ground.

Rarity screamed...

Author's Note

Well after what a four months hiatus I've finally come back and written another chapter for this. I am really really sorry about the long wait, I have been extremely busy with school and other personal stuff going on in my life. Plus I wasn't really feeling like writing you know? Like ever since season 4 ended I've been slowly losing my interest in MLP. Now that does not mean I am going to abandon the fandom or writing these stories. Rainbow Rocks helped out a little with getting back into it. Who knows maybe when season 5 comes out I'll get that drive again. I might go back and forth between this and The Gift Maker since I haven't written anything for that either. Oh well, so I hope you enjoy this new chapter. I don't think it's as good as the other ones that I have done but whatever. This is TitansBane signing out, until the next chapter, whenever the hell that might be.
