//-------------------------------------------------------// Stalked By A Shadow -by Twyla In Wonderland- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Followed //-------------------------------------------------------// Followed The breeze brushed past the mare making her shiver she really hasn't been herself since the news. "My butterfly, our kindness." She said to herself just then she heard hoof steps behind her. Rainbow turns around to spot Applejack she looked like she was in a rush. She stopped right by Rainbow Dash tears streaming down her face. "Applejack are you okay?" She asked as Applejack started tearing up again. "Rainbow Dash it's terrible. No one has seen Fluttershy for days." Applejack said as Rainbow looked at her. "She's missing." She said sounding a little confused on what Applejack was on about This keeps happening to Rainbow Dash. Applejack coming up to her tears streaming down her face saying Fluttershy hasn't been seen for days. Applejack fell to the floor. "Why did you let her out of your sight." Applejack said quietly. "Sorry what was that....." "WHY DID YOU LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!" Applejack screamed. Rainbow looked at her in disapproval. "I didn't Applejack. She told me..." Loud hissing cut Rainbow off as the sky became dull, gray and covered in fog. Rainbow looked at Applejack who was now a different pony. Large wings, longer mane and tufted ears. She looked up, crimson red cat-like vertical slits for pupils. Her eyes pierced straight into Rainbow Dash. "Fluttershy? Applejack?" ... Rainbow shot up from her bed drenched in sweat the bed was in the same state. She didn't recognize the room she was in until Rarity poked her head into Rainbow's vision. "She's awake." Twilight walked next to the bed. "Rainbow? Are you okay?" She nodded then asked. " What happened? Were am I?" She coughed afterwards. "You collapsed Dashie." Pinkie said. "Your in the hospital." Rainbow fell backwards as Applejack sighed. "Did you have that dream again Sugar?" She nodded. "What dream?" Rarity asked. "She is walking down to Sweet Apple Acres when I'm running up to her asking about. " She stopped. "Fluttershy." Applejack said quieter. "Saying she has gone then an evil being that looked like you know who hissed attacking her afterwards." Everyone nodded as the doctor walked in. "Miss Dash. Derpy dropped off a letter." He handed it to her. "Thanks." Rainbow opened the letter. She read it, quickly dropping it and started to tear up. Rarity picked it up, and gasped. The paper was covered in blood and read She's mine, Rainbow got up, and flew out. "Dashie don't it's night." Pinkie said followed by Rainbow. "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT." Rarity looked at Applejack then said. "I've never seen Rainbow Dash like this." "Neither have I." ... Rainbow Dash slowed down as the sky became pitch black, and there were no birds no nothing. The wind howled and blew a bitter chill past her body. The floor was damp and stagnant with the odor of decomposing wood. The forest seemed to never end; tall silhouettes shadowing the ground, and screams echoing through the wind. Beady eyes hidden within the shadows of the forest, and a paranormal presence lurked in the essence of the devils grasp, shadowing each living organism with dire precision. Rainbow Dash shot a glance at the slightest twig snap only to be horrified. Crimson red eyes looking straight at her, the ones from her dreams, the beast dived at her tackling her to the floor making Rainbow's wings graze against the ground. Cries for her name scared the beast off leaving Rainbow bleeding from her neck Applejack, and Rarity fount her. "Rainbow Dash darling!" Rarity screamed running up to her. "Dear Celestia what happened?" Applejack asked as Rainbow shuddered. "D...d...dream." Rainbow collapsed of blood loss. "We need to get her back to the hospital." Rarity said as Applejack nodded. Rarity picks up Rainbow, and placed her onto Applejack's back as they dashed back to the hospital. ... 3 weeks later ... Applejack kissed Rarity on the neck as the unicorn smiled. "Morning Jackie." "Rares... Happy 2 year anniversary." She handed a present over. Rarity smiled, and opened the gift. Tears in her eyes it was a beautiful picture of the two in a sunset that happened one year ago. "How in Equestria did you get this?" Applejack smiled and kissed her. "That doesn't matter..." SMASH! Rarity and Applejack turned around. "Jackie can you see what that was please." Applejack nodded, and trotted downstairs, the door of their apartment kicked in and someone was laying on the floor of their kitchen. Yellow and pink. "Fluttershy?" The figure turned around, calm emerald blue eyes tears making them sparkle. Applejack turned on the light as Fluttershy busted into tears. "I... Can't help it!" Applejack tried to calm Fluttershy down, but she started to get aggressive. "Piss off Applejack or I'll.... Attack." She screamed. "Listen here Sugar-cube. There is no need to shout.." Fluttershy hissed at her. "I SAID PISS OF!" Her eyes became crimson, and slit as Rarity came downstairs. "What's going on?" "GREAT FUCKING RARITY!" Fluttershy shouted as Rarity looked at her in disgusted. "Fluttershy? When did you come back, and when did you get such an attitude." Rarity said. Fluttershy huffed as her wings grew larger. "I can't control it." "Can't control what?" "This." Fluttershy turned around and made Rarity shiver. "Flutterbat." Applejack said. She waited, watching the two ponies waiting to pounce. Applejack stared at Fluttershy as Rarity started to shake. "She's mine!" Screams were heard across Canterlot. //-------------------------------------------------------// Deaths //-------------------------------------------------------// Deaths About 3 months went by without Fluttershy trying to bite anyone, and also going out with Rainbow Dash. It was perfect for her and everyone around her. It was 3 AM in the morning when Fluttershy woke up hungry she got up as Rainbow placed a hoof on her shoulder. "Where are you going. Come back into bed it's 3 in the morning." Fluttershy smiled. "I'm going to get something to eat. Not far just into your kitchen." Fluttershy trotted downstairs to Rainbow's kitchen as a powerful sent came to her nose. She was enjoying every second of it so she did the only thing her body wanted, is to find it. This brought her outside to a badly hurt bunny she licked her lips and ran to the hurt animal. ... Her alarm went off, rather loud. Rainbow moaned and rolled over the clock showed 8:15. She sat up to find Fluttershy wasn't there Rainbow shrugged it of and  walked downstairs to find the door wide open. Rainbow Dash had a chill sent down her spine as she felt like someone was watching her there was a note on the table Rainbow read it. " Dash, I've gone out for a bit sorry if I scared you. Flutters." Rainbow sighed, and opened the fridge to take something out as Pinkie ran through the door in a panic. "Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said sounding upset. Dash grabbed a drink, and closed the fridge. She turned around and answered Pinkie. "Yeah." "Twilight needs you. Now" Pinkie said as Rainbow nodded. She nodded quickly took a swig from her drink, and followed Pinkie to Twilight's castle. Arriving everyone was there, all but Fluttershy. Rarity were in a state that she was too shocked to speak, and Applejack had a large bandage across her neck trying to support Rarity. Twilight was sat down with pictures on the desk, when Pinkie brought Rainbow Dash she stood up. "Rainbow Dash. Come here please." Twilight asked as the Pegasus followed the instructions, and went to Twilight. On the desk were a dozen of pictures of ponies with the same description. "Are all those." Rainbow swallowed. "Dead?" Twilight nodded. The horrified expression was gone from their face's. They looked to be a sleep now. Rainbow could have believed it if not for all of the blood. How can so much blood come from one body? The holes in their skin told of a messy end. The second bite killed them all for sure, the other 13 had been pointless. The scene spoke of rage and hate. The bodies had been abandoned on the cold floor that was now stained with red. "These deaths were done by the same pony." Twilight said. "Lighting Dust, Fancypants, Clay, Sport, Flightless, Raptor, Fleetfoot, Trixie, Gilda, Song, Golden and Snow." Rainbow said as she laughed a little. "Why are you laughing?" Twilight asked sounding cross. "I hate them all." "So you did this?" Applejack said as Rainbow quickly shook her head. "No. When did this happen?" She asked. "Last night.... No actually this morning at 4." Twilight said. "I was in bed." Rainbow said as someone banged against the door to the castle. The door swung open and stood there was Mayor Mare. "Good you're all here. Please hurry to the Town Hall there is an animal fight, and it's getting worse." Mayor said running back with everyone behind her. ... The wolves back away from each other, dropping low to the ground, growling viciously, they begin circling one another. The darker wolf threw the attacker on it's back, and went for it's neck. Darker bit hard and began to shake vigorously. The weaker wolf scraped uselessly at the alpha  wolf's underbelly, making blood run down it's stomach. The white weaker wolf finally roll over and bit down on the alpha's paw, causing the it to let go of the neck momentarily to howl in pain. Rainbow ran to notice the Alpha looks like Fluttershy it hit her. "It's Fluttershy!" Rainbow said quietly as Twilight nodded. The alpha won murdering the weaker wolf on the spot. Biting it's neck as everyone around the fight heard a loud ripping noise. Flesh ripped off and flung landing right by Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy looked up to notice the crowd of people looking as the dead wolf glowed, and shifted into a pony to reveal Mint the local dentist. "It killed Mint." Mayor said. Fluttershy collapsed to the ground as the blood gushed from her stomach and paw staining the ground. Rainbow Dash ran over and placed her hoof on her head. Fluttershy lifted her head, but soon let it drop Rainbow turned around as Twilight walked over. "I will get her back home. To yours. Quickly though." Rainbow nodded as Twilight lifted her up with magic. "Princess Twilight!" Mayor shouted. "Why are you taking the beast away?" "No comment." Twilight ran off with Rainbow behind her. ... Arriving Fluttershy turned back to normal with her front hoof drenched in blood the same for her stomach. Bursting through Rainbow's door Twilight quickly placed her down on the sofa. Rainbow went for water as Twilight tried to stop the blood. Coming back into the front room with water she heard loud knocks,  Rainbow passed the drink to Twilight and went to the door. She opened it, in the door way a rather large yet familiar stallion stood there, but not there to deliver good news. "Rainbow Dash. I have bad news." His tone was emotionless, like Pinkie's sister but a man. She could see that he had been crying. "Dad are you alright?" "Your Mum...She's been killed." He erupted into tears as Rainbow tried not to. "I'm sorry dad please. I'm dealing with my girlfriend. I will talk about it tonight. I know that sounds bad, but I don't want to lose her as well." Her dad nodded and gave her a hug. "Good luck. Rainbow smiled and closed the door, but soon as the door closed Rainbow felt to the ground, crying her eyes out. "Could this day gets worse by the hour."
