BIG BROTHER

The thoughts started in his head.

The death started in the Apple Family's barn.

And the killing ended at the Lunar Execution Chamber, which hadn't been used in over one thousand years.

I know it hadn't been used in that long because I am Princess Luna and I am the only one that can open that room.

My sister may be able to raise the moon with much concentration and effort but that room is tied to my very being.

Without my direct magic it wont open. And I had hoped that when I returned I would never have to open it again.

But I was wrong....So very wrong....

The twisted events began at the Apple Family's Farm, Sweet Apple Acres.

The day as far as I could tell from his dreams, and as far as any pony else could tell, had started like any other.

Apples needed to be harvested, chores needed to be completed and dinner needed to be made early so every pony could get to bed and start the next day bright and early.

But for one, the next day would never come....

For one soul the night would hold terrors unimaginable and it would only be the beginning of a horrid, bloody and senseless string of crimes.

All perpetrated by a pony the victims trusted the most.

No pony saw it coming.

He didn't give any warning signs.

He didn't give even a hint of the evil that lived in his soul.

Quiet....So very, very quiet he was. Never showing the raging storm that lived in his heart.

He was a beloved family member.

He was her faithful Grandson.

He was their ever Dependable Big Brother.

And.....He was their Executioner.
