As the moon shone brightly over Canterlot I jumped from rooftop to rooftop, my spirits soaring. I chuckled to myself as I saw ponies run from my shadow, ever since I'd arrived the ponies of this city had grown rightfully fearful of me. As I passed the area I killed the last bunch of guards to come after me I noticed there was a crowd growing outside the castle, despite the late hour. Curious, I crawled down the wall of a building close to the crowd, gaining a good vantage point.

I waited for around half an hour before Celestia made her appearance, I made sure to keep one pair of eyes on her while the rest scanned for potential attacks and escapes. She calmed the crowd with fake promises and old speeches. And like the naive children they are, they believed her. She announced that her elite guards were hunting me as she spoke. I snorted, like her pitiful guards could stop me. She then announced that it had been discovered that wounds on my victims was the same as those from all those years ago. That I, or perhaps my parent, was responsible.

I sighed. It was about time they figured that out. I was about to leave when The Tainted One joined her sister. I have to admit that I know very little about Luna. I could tell you more about Nightmare Moon. Tried to bring about eternal night one thousand years ago, was banished to the moon for a thousand years. Though there's some debate among the peasants on whether she was on the moon or in the moon. If Celestia did that to her own sister then she must be a bitch. Unfortunately she seems to be the self righteous kind of bitch.

Luna began talking about how guards were closing in on me as they spoke. I snarled and jumped away. Oh, how I wanted to kill her and her sister. But I already have a target. Even if she's avoided me for the past six weeks. I should really hunt her down.

As I landed on a rooftop in the middle of the city I paused. Something was wrong.

I jumped back as a lone pegasus bombed the spot I was moments before. Snarling, I dashed forwards and grabbed him by the neck while he was still disoriented from the crash. I tightened my grip, my claws digging into his neck. I chuckled as he gasped for air. I leaned closer, my mouth opening and drool dripping, pooling on the ground.

His choked screams ended as I tore through his skull. Remnants of his skull and bloody chunks of his brain slivered down my throat until there was nothing left but an empty skull. I wiped my mouth clean of blood. Such a sweet delicious meal.

I jumped to the next rooftop and made my way to my current accommodation. It...wasn't much. A few sewn together scraps, wood, metal, cloth, making a surface in high in an alley. Some bags and a single sheet for warmth. It was basic, but it was secure and safe. That's all that matters.

Laying down I began to think. Where was that target? She couldn't escape me. No one ever can, all they can do is delay the inevitable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared down at the busy street from the shadows, after that little annoucement the other week these ponies just...just went about their pathetic lives. I twitched. Where is she?! I need to hunt! No one ever escapes me! NEVER!! My spare limbs began flailing as I began to suspect that, for the first time, my target was going to escape. NO! I WON'T LET HER ESCAPE!!! SHE'S MINE!!!

I twitched again as laughter echoed up to me. SHUT UP, FILTH!!! As the sounds of those scum that foolishly believe themselves worthy of my respect made their way up to me my rage grew until it was a volcano about to erupt. Why wait? A small voice at the back of my mind whispered. True enough, I would kill these scum regardless, but I need to kill the target. I twitched. But...perhaps...yes. A little practice would be fine. After all, I don’t to end up like I had last time.

I let loose a low laugh, who knows, I may even find out where my target is hiding! Yes...I think it’s time I had some relaxing therapeutic murder, at the very least it should lessen these pests from interfering later. But...I’ll have to be fast with the...wait...didn’t I…? Yes, that’s right. I overheard the pretend guards mention that their rulers were off in the Chicken House, oh, sorry, the Griffin Kingdom. Bah. Well, at least I won’t have to deal with those overpowered morons. Yes, this could work out...nicely.

I jumped down from the building and landed on a pony’s back. ...Huh. Well, that was lucky. I gave a loud roar and began swinging my claws at any nearby ponies. I grabbed a fleeing pony and forced my hand through his chest before tearing out his heart. Roaring, I grabbed a pony's head and ripped it off. I felt several bolts of magic blast me in the back, the weaklings were too weak to actually hurt me but it still stung. I turned, my eyes locking onto the yellow female unicorn with blue hair who's horn was still glowing. She shrieked and foolishly tried to run.

I leapt through the air, landing in front of the fleeing bitch. I grabbed her by her back leg as she turned and slammed her into the ground over and over until she was a bloody pile. I was about to put another waste of space in its place when the bloody heap groaned. I stared, she's still alive? Interesting. I picked it up. I began laughing as I began ripping off her blood and gore soaked limbs, her screams only fuelling my passion.

I howled with laughter as I ran out of limbs and moved onto slapping her around. Her squeals of pain amusing me. How she was still alive I don't know, but I'm going to have fun with this!. How to toy with her next? Ah! I lifted her up and gently slapped her across the face, grabbing her attention.

"What...do you..." She spluttered before she began shuddering. I lifted her and showed her the other pony filth still running around like headless chickens. I lifted her to my side and poked her and waved a hand around. She started yelling for help, "PLEASE, HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!! SOME...somepony...help me..." She trailed off as she realised that not one of these scum cared for her or would risk themselves to help her.

I saw the hope drain from her eyes. Perfect. I dumped her on the ground before suspending myself over her. Lowering myself till I was all but touching her. I took in the deep, delicious scent of her blood and tears mixed together.

She shivered. "What...do you...want with me...?" I merely grinned and took in her scent again.

I spotted a large dog nearby, straining against the lead that hooked it to a post. I frowned, I had always been rather impartial to dogs. I shook my head gently loosening its collar. I tickled it behind the ears before letting it run off. Now...back to my little... I looked back to the collar. Big enough to fit around a pony's neck. I chuckled to myself as I made my way back to my toy.

I loosened the collar and shoved my toy's head through it, a little difficult but nothing I couldn't manage, before tightening it. "S...stop it... J...just...kill me already!" She yelled before she started screaming. Huh. Wondered when she was going to start with that. She must have quite the impressive will to resist screaming for this long. For a lesser creature. But kill her? Oh no, I have plans for her.

I carried her through the streets, occasionally poking at the gore filled stumps that were once her legs to hear a more enjoyable scream of pain. I eventually found the kind of shop I was looking for. I dumped her in the middle of the sewing shop as I looked for the right kind of thread and...needle. I finally found some black thread and a suitable needle and headed back to my little toy.

She seemed to leave her little world of pain long enough to notice what I had. "What are those for?!" She shrieked as she began to rock and shake. "KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!"

I snarled and gave her a soft...ish kick before holding her head down. Then I began stitching the collar into her neck. Stitch...by...stitch. I'm glad the black of the thread matched the collar, otherwise this would look odd. But just a single row wasn't enough. Oh, no, no, no! It has to stay in there! Don't want them taking it out once they find her! I made sure that if they even thought of taking the collar off she'd die. Not even magic could stop that!

I looked over my handiwork, such wonderful perfection! Unfortunately my little pet had fallen unconscious while I was working. I took a step backwards and looked over my pet. A grin spread across my face and I began laughing. It was wonderful! Carrying her back outside I dumped her in the street, taking one last taste of her sweet blood before strolling away and continuing my rampage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dodged the guard's sword, sidestepping to the right before crushing her helmet and her head before impaling several ponies behind me, both pathetic cowards and weak guards.

Was this the extent of their power? Why am I not surprised? Such weakness doesn't deserve even pity. I roared to the sky before smashing a guard's head into a wall, painting it in his blood.

I hissed as a blade cut through my side. I smacked aside the guard's axe and tore into his stomach. Grabbing his intestines I ripped them out and wrapped them around his neck choking him until he went into shock. I groaned and threw him away, they're always boring when they get like that. No more fun in it. Well, apart from sating my bloodlust of course.

I twitched once again. Where is my target?! I spotted a guard and punched her. Where is my TARGET?! I roared as I grabbed the guard and tore her in half, her blood and guts slopping to the floor. WHERE'S MY TARGET?! WHERE?! WHERE?!

As the screaming crowds began running away I sliced, impaled, crushed and tore my way through them. WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE?! I tore a guard in half before throwing her through a shop window. Howling, I dived through the shattered window after her and grabbed a cowering child in the corner of the room, ripping the brat's head off.

Looking around the room I saw the guard somehow still alive by a pile of newspapers. Strolling over to her I was about to lift her up when one of the newspapers caught my eye. I grabbed a paper and scanned the front page.

'After the recent attacks on Canterlot, Princess Twilight has returned to her home in Ponyville, stating that she is certain that the specially created guard will be able to catch the beast prowling the city.'

"You..." The guard coughed as I threw the paper away. "You're...intelligent...?"

I snarled before crushing her head beneath my foot. These annoying inferiors should know their place! Speaking to me as if an equal! The lowly scum!

"SQUEAKY!!!" A voice cried from the other side of the room. Turning I took notice of two ponies around the body of the brat. The male sobbing and female holding the headless body. I scoffed. What a couple of wimpy babies. More focused on their spawn then their own impending death.

"YOU FILTH!!!" The male roared at me, as I slowly approached them. At Me! "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU-" I got tired of his ranting and crushed his head in my hand. His body twitched for a few seconds before falling over.

The female dove at me, swinging her hooves at me, I dodged with a quick jump and landed on her back. I stomped down, severing her spine. As her pathetic scream echoed throughout the building I picked her up by the neck and took a bite into her delicious brain.

Throwing her body aside I smashed through a door into a room filled with books and scrolls. Gritting my teeth I began grabbing them, one by one, looking for a map. Luck was with me, it seemed, as the fifth book I grabbed had a detailed map of Equestria in it. Scanning it, I found that this 'Ponyville' was a mere four hours walk to. My target thought she could hide from ME?! No. No one can hide from me, I will hunt her down and mount her head by Celestia's castle! That should leave the message that I am back and not to be trifled with.

Despite all the guards searching for me it was pitifully easy to escape. After escaping that particular area of the city I made my way back to my little hovel. I slept until the comfort of night blanketed the city. This was the time I was truly in my element. Usually it was to sneak up on my victims, but tonight I would be to sneak out of the city. I should get to Ponyville before morning if everything went to plan.

As I leapt across the city, avoiding the pegasus search parties scouring the city for me. As a spotlight wielding pegasus passed overhead I hid inside an alley. As much as I wanted to kill the scum, I couldn't afford to bring attention to myself tonight.

I growled lowly as the pony passed. Soon. You live. For today. As soon as the pony passed by I climbed back up to the rooftop and jumped towards the edge of the city.

I stared off the edge of the mountain. This was it. Not much longer till you're in my grasp, little Princess. I leapt off the mountain and dived through the air for several seconds before my legs caught hold of the mountain and coming to a stop. As I began climbing down I began thinking of the ways that damn pretty Princess would suffer.

But for now there was just the journey. But soon. Soon her skull shall belong to me.

Author's Note

Yeah, before you guys go all 'Ship it like FedEx' (because I've had something similar in my other story) he is not attracted to his 'toy/pet' in any way, he's just getting sadistic joy from what he's doing to her.

Yeah, just wanted to let you know that. I know not all of you are like that, or would even think of that, but this is for that minority.
