Metal Scrapings

After the loss of her number one assistant, Twilight Sparkle locked herself in her room, her hooves covered in Spike's blood. 'How could I let this happen to Spike? Who did this? What did this? Was it somepony I know?' She looked over to the other side of her room to see Spike's bed, untouched. After several minutes of sobbing, she heard a loud scraping noise coming from the library. She instantly got up from her bed and unlocked the bedroom door. As she was walking down the staircase, she was thinking up of a spell to use to blast the somewhat intruder.

"Hello?", she choked. 'What if this is the pony who killed Spike?!' She then use a teleportation spell to go to the front of the library. When she got there, she saw her front door ripped to pieces, and oddly-shaped hoofprints engraved into her floors leading to the door. "Oh no! What if the killer went to fend off with the rest of Ponyville!", screamed Twilight. She unfolded her wings and flew up to viewing distance of the town. 'I have to see if my friends are okay.'

Twilight flew over to Sugarcube Corner, and the front door was ripped and thrown off its hinges. She slowly walked into the pastry shop, only to find Mr. and Mrs. Cakes' bodies sprawled across the front counter. She then saw Pinkie Pie curled up in a ball on the floor, rocking back and forth and muttering strange noises. "Pinkie, I'm so glad you're okay!", said Twilight excitedly.

"Shhh!! Don't make another sound! 'It' is still in here!", whispered Pinkie. "It? What are you talking abo-" She then regained something, a memory of the events that took place last night.
