As the trespasser left the premises that he had just intruded, he was shot in the head, neck, and then the heart. The shots went from top to bottom. The criminal collapsed right as the last bullet plunged into the cote of the stallion that had all the answers. He was just shot by someone who really knows how to hold a grudge, his brother.The killer slowly walked over to the lifeless body, and stood over his first and certainly not his last victim. But he was certainly the easiest on the list to destroy.The blood was quickly oozing out of the three holes. Suddenly a sick smile spread across his face and his eyes matched the smile that was frozen on his face. He slowly raised his head as his horn was ignited by his unicorn magic. Then in the blink of an eye his head snapped down, the horn aimed at the victim. A turquoise ray shot from his horn and surrounded the body. Parts of the body then started to disappear into thin air one by one. His expression then changed from sick and twisted to satisfied and pleased. The last part of the body to disappear was single wing. When he saw the last part vanish he looked as though he had over a million thoughts going through his head. He put a hoof to his head to calm the thoughts and just think about what he had jut done. He looked at the floor to get a better memory of what had just happened, because that was where his masterpiece had just taken place. But when he looked down he saw a scroll in the place of the body. He levitated it up to his face unrolled the piece of paper and read:
Dear Castro #1, Date 1/1/2024
The spell you used to hide this body is very high level even for you.
But then again if I washable to retrieve it I guess it isn't.
What have you been up to since we last met anyway?
I'm hot on your trail so no more games!
I am so close to finding you and as soon as I do your DONE!
I'm getting closer to finding you with each passing minuet so here's how I see it,
You can run but you can not hide.
Oh and enjoy what you have, wile you still have it.
Sincerely,Scootaloo
P.S. And if you think I forgot what you did to me you are sadly mistaken
When he finished reading it he ignited the note in flames, threw it on the ground, stomped the fire out, and ripped it to shreds. His eyes suddenly became like flames ignited from his soul, he was screaming at the sky. His rage became so massive that during his screams Castro used his magic to lift the roof off, carry it over to a neighboring cottage and slammed the wooden roofing down on the ini cent home several times smashing it to pieces, then lit it on fire. It was no concern of his wether or not there were living things in there.But as soon as Castro ignited the cottage Castro screamed out as loud as he possibly could, "NO WITNESSES!" Then after a few deep berths he said as if out of breath, "So if that how you wanna' play then that's how we're gonna' play.Dirty."He closed his eyes then slowly opened them. "I suppose it's time I pay Rainbow Dash a visit." And suddenly his horn was ignited with a turquoise ray, "Net stop Ponyville." And with that he teleported his way home.
They were laughing, talking; enjoying what they still had until it would be violently ripped away rom the forever. They were siting on the swing set for two slowly rocking back and forth. It was all grass, flowers, and trees in the meadow that they were in, and the only thing that wasn't made of nature for miles was the swing structure. It was a mare and stallion that were on the swings. the mare thought they had something where as for the stallion, he was just confused. "Tell me why you took me here, I'm worried about you?"
"I. Hm." The stallion lightly laughed at himself.
"What?"
"Nothing I'm just trying to find the right words."
"Right words for what exactly, and if your trying to make this romantic, I will gag because you know I can't handle that romantic sappy stuff."
"No I have to tell you something."
She ended the memory there because she couldn't handle the rest, it was too painful. She got up from where she was sitting and looked at herself in the leftover rain water from a storm earlier. then looked back at the broken swing set. One of the seats was disconnected from one of the chains , the other had a hole in the middle, and the whole thing was rusted. But at least the plant life still looked beautiful. She sat back down on the swing set, hung her head and allowed a single tear to escape her eye and hit the puddle. She sat there frozen too upset to leave. But then out of no where she heard a rustle in the trees above her. She was immediately alert, pulled out the rifle that was on her back and aimed it at the trees above her. "Whose there! I know some ponies up there, and I will not hesitate to shoot you down!"
"Whoa! Sorry didn't mean to put you on high alert there. Relax." She then lowered the rifle at the sound of the familiar and friendly voice. "Applebloom?"
"Scootaloo!" As Applebloom said her friends name she leapt from the trees all four hooves spread apart and landed on top of her friend over come with pure joy. the rifle left scootaloos hooves when her friend reached her. Applebloom pushed herself up now on top of scootaloo, and said,"Scootaloo! I'm so happy to see you, I mean I can't even believe how long it's been since we've last seen one another I mean, WOW!"
"APPLEBLOOM!" "Yes",
"Calm down, I mean you sound just like you did when we found out we gave your brother and Ms.Cheralie a love poison instead of a love potion. So just try to take it down a few notches."
"Got it." "So, what were you doing in the tree anyway? Wait were you spying on me!"
"What! No! I didn't even know you were going to be here today. No, you see I'm here on official business. I need to see if there are any remains of you know what."
"Are you kidding me! There's still a possibility that those are still out there!" Applebloom gave a grime nod. Scootaloo suddenly looked very worried. Applebloom was now deeply concerned for what could be causing her such distress. So Applebloom decided to ask her.
"Scootaloo? What is it? What's bothering you? Is ti the you know what?" Scootaloo narrowed her eyes to the ground and slowly moved her head back and fourth. Then slowly raised her eyes back up to look directly at Applebloom. Scootaloo then slowly uttered the words,"He's back."
"Whose back?" Scootaloo the opened her saddle bag and started to pull out the body of the stallion Castro murdered, but only got as far as the head before Applebloom said,"Stop! I don't, need to see the rest! I, I think I know who your talking about." As Scootaloo put the head back in the bag, Applebloom decided to say what was on her on mind.
"Him! Because if what your telling or showing me is actually true then we are in some deep shit!"
"You think I don't know that! I'm already terrified of him and what he is capable of! Do you even what kind of spell he used to try and hide this body?!" Applebloom shook her head.
Scootaloo continued, " A difficult and sacred one, that's the kind he used! And to be a unicorn of that high caliber and be as corrupted as he is! I mean all of Equestria could be at stake! And now we have an ever bigger reason to worry because from your news there's still remains of the dark magic that may or may not spread again or possibly slowly returning. And he could even use the dark magic to his advantage, and there is no doubt in my mind that he is capable of that, because if he's capable of doing a spell like this!" Scootaloo once again referred to the bag,"He can defiantly manipulate the dark magic. I don't think I've even heard of another unicorn being able to do a spell like that! Dousen't that make you feel terrified?"
"Yes of course it douse!" Applebloom responded worriedly. But that did not help ease Scootaloos nerves at all, it just made them worse.
"So, what should we do?" Asked Scootaloo.
"I'm not sure." Responded Applebloom. They were both scared, had no idea what to do, or who to tell first. So in order for her to help the situation Applebloom decided that she was gong to need more information from Scootaloo, so the interrogation began.
