Carrot Top: Vampony Hunter

Carrot Top looked in the bathroom mirror.

"What was that?" she asked out loud. "Are there more?"

She splashed her face with some more water, getting the last bit of blood.

Carrot went back into the kitchen and stared at one of the chairs. She remembered how the demonic mare died when she was impaled throughh the heart by wood. And how she burst into black smoke. She suddenly remembered something from that horrible Christmas day. When she saw her father thrown into the wall, there was a burst of black smoke from the strange visitor.

"There must be more of these things." said Carrot to herself, kneeling down in front of the chair.

Carrot kicked the chair hard, causing it to break. She gathered all the wood pieces into a bag and tightened it. Afterwards, she cautiously left her house,, looking everywhere for signs of more creatures. Seeing nothing, she made her way through the streets of Hoofington. She finally came to a stop in front of a building. There was a picture of a hammer and nails on the door. She dragged the bag of wood up to the door and knocked. After about a minute, the door opened and a pale unicorn answered.

"Carrot?" she asked, rubbing her eyes. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Nicee to ssee you, too, Coral." said Carrot, rushing passed her.

Coral closed the door and turned around.

"What is it?"

"I need you to make me something."

"What is it?" asked Coral with a yawn.

"I need you to turn these..." Carrot started, dumping out the wood. "into stakes."

"Stakes?" asked Coral. "What for?"

"Just do it." urged Carrot. "Please?"

Coral yawned.

"All right." she said. "Just let me go take a shower so I can wake up."

"Thank you." said Carrot as Coral went upstairs.

Carrot looked around at the workplace. There were table saws and a furnace, as well as various carpenter tools and some metal. Carrot suddenly heard a scream from upstairs.

"Coral?" Carrot asked frantically. "Coral!"

She grabbed a piece of wood in her mouth and took off towards the stairs. When she got to the second floor she stood in the hall, listening for a noise.

"Coral?" Carrot called through the stake.

"Carrot!" came Coral's voice. "Help!"

Carrot ran to the bathroom and burst through the door. A black mare with a red mane had Coral pinned to the floor, trying to bite her.

"Get off her!" Carrot mumbled.

The mare looked at Carrot and hissed. She then leapt into the air, heading for the orange mare. Carrot delivered a punch to the mare in mid-air, causing her to fall to the ground. She then slammed a hoof down on the mare's neck, holding her down. She then held the stake with her two front hooves and drove it downwards, stabbing the mare in the heart. The attacker let out a screech as she burst into smoke.

"What was that?" Coral asked, walking over to Carrot.

"The reason why I need wooden stakes."

Coral paused to think. "I'll make you something even better."

Carrot Top stood in front of a vertical mirror.

"Like it?" asked Coral.

Carrot Top held up her hoof, examining the hoof ring with the stake attached to it. The ring was about an inch away from her hoof. The stake didn't even clear her hoof.

"How am I supposed to use this if it can't reach out far enough?"

"Simple." said Coral. "Just imagine it getting longer."

"Say what?" Carrot asked.

Coral giggled. "Try it."

Carrot sighed. She looked at the stake and imagined it getting bigger. To her surprise, it did. It instantly became 50% longer.

"Whoa." said Carrot in delightful surprise.

"Cool, huh?" asked Coral. "I enchanted them. All you have to do is imagine it and they'll grow instantly."

"Sweet." said Carrot, looking at both stakes on her hooves.

"Now, those creatures don't stand a chance."
