Sunset stared at Travis in horror, seeing the he was actually strangling someone.

"Travis, you don't need to do this." She said calmly, walking towards him slowly.

"Lets talk about this before we do some real damage Travis." She continued walking to him. All of her friends stared in confusion.

"I'm not talking about this. This might be the one I need to kill, and I'm not taking any chances." Kill?!? How could he do this?!? Thinking quick, Sunset got behind Travis and stole the music box from his half-open backpack, and ran back to the cafeteria's closed doors.

"Sunset! This isn't a good choice!" She looked into his eyes seeing his first emotion against her: anger.

"I'll start unwinding it if you don't let go of that kid Travis!" She yelled to him, hoping that she would prevail. He held onto his neck, and she started unwinding the music box. The tune played out.

"NGNNN!!!" Travis let go of the students neck, allowing him to breathe. The student ran away.

"STOP IT!!! PLEASE STOP IT!!!" He lied on the ground in a ball, covering his ears. She wound it up and walked over to him, still in a ball. Crying. Tears were rolling down his blood red cheeks.

"Travis!! Are you okay?!?" She said kneeling down, hoping that he would just get up and say that he was sorry. But that's not what happened. He remained on the ground, in a small ball. Just crying.

"Im not sure if he's okay Sunset. He's hardly moving. What was that anyways?" Rainbow Dash said, pointing to the box. She looked at the music box, as it was marked with smiles almost everywhere.

"It's a music box that Travis keeps around. He said that if it isn't wound up...." She paused.

"Bad things would happen." She looked at her friends. They stared back in horror of Travis and the box.

"We need to talk to him. He has some questions that we need answered." Said Applejack, who was looking at Travis in disgust.

"I know. Let's take him to your house AJ. It's biggest, so he can stay in the barn." She nodded. She picked up Travis, who was stuck in a living nightmare...

They got to AJ's house where they put him in on the floor, sitting in a circle around him. He finally woke up.

"Ugh...... What the..." He looked at his right hand, it being completely black.

'It can't be happening now! Why now of all times?' He thought. He looked around him, seeing six girls.

"We want answers and we want them now Travis!" Applejack shouted, surprising him. The other girls just stared at him.

"What answers?"

"You know what I mean Travis! Now spit it out!" He looked at her, his eyes turning from surprised to emotionless.

"Fine. I'm trying to kill someone while I'm here okay?" All of the girls gasped. Sunset began.

"What do you mean Travis? Why do you want to kill someone?" He stared into her eyes.

"Do you want to know why I'm wearing this scarf right now?" Rarity spoke up.

"I certainly do! Why would you wear a scarf in the spring? I don't get it!" He looked at all of them one by one.

"If you are terrified of.... Well, anything, you might want to leave the room." Nobody stood up but Fluttershy.

"You might want to leave the room then." She whimpered and walked slowly out of the room.

"The reason why I wear my scarf is this." He pulled it down, revealing a deep cut on his throat. Black blood spilled out of it. Sunset covered her mouth. Who could do something like this? Pinkie vomited in a nearby trash can, while Rainbow stared in awe. Rarity and Applejack just looked with pity on their faces.

"Why... Who.... What happened?" Rainbow Dash asked with pitiful thoughts.

"I'm not even living." He simply replied. He pulled his scarf back up, covering the slit in his throat.

"The man I am trying to kill took my life. I have two objectives: kill this man, and give the children that he killed what they deserved." Sunset looked into Travis's eyes, and saw nothing. She didn't see remorse for wanting to kill a man, she didn't see pity or sorrow for the student he almost strangled. She saw nothingness.

"What children did he kill?" He looked at Rainbow Dash.

"I do not want to talk about it. I feel that I have talked enough today." And with that, he grabbed his bag and left the barn house.

"Wow, that guys a real downer!" Pinkie Pie said with sadness in her voice. Sunset looked at the small pool of black blood on the floor.

'Is there any way I can help him?'

Travis was sitting on a tree in an apple orchard, remembering the pain that he felt when his throat was cut. He remembered trying to get the air to reach inside of his lungs, yet not being able to reach it. He remembered falling on the ground, blood spilling out of his throat and onto the ground as he started losing consciousness. All he remembered was seeing a man dressed in purple after that. Then he died... While taking a trip down memory lane, Fluttershy snuck up on him.

"Ummm... I'm sorry, but can I sit in the tree? T-that's sort of my favorite one." He looked back seeing her.he thought about how gentle her voice was... like a flower petal falling off of a flower and falling into a pond.

"Sure..." She climbed up the tree and sat down on the opposite side.

"I heard the whole thing you know. How you're dead and how you need to kill somebody." He looked into her eyes. All he could think of was the word... Kindness.

"You don't need to kill him. You don't have to. There could be another way." He stared at Fluttershy, she was staring back.

"I'm afraid I'm not open to that other way." He said. He jumped out of the tree, and walked away, thinking of the painful ways to kill the man who took his life.
