The Day PonyVille Went Dark

~A new victim appears~

The night shifts into full swing, Filthy Rich throws the annual Nightmare Nights masquerade ball. A cool breeze blows over the party attendees. Looking up Filthy sees an ominous figure silhouetted against the back drop of a full moon. Declaring over the din of the party-goers Arianna proclaims; The Festivities have just Begun! In the following days the bodies will stack at least half a story High!" Laughing maniacally as she finishes she swoops in and steals Diamond Tiara from the Dance Floor. Screaming in terror Tiara yells for help;SOMEPONY HELP ME!" Whispering into the filly's ear Arianna says "You won't see the light of day again."

The Party is now in full panic as Filthy yells for the guards. Hearing the outcries of the distraught party guests the Bat-ponies on patrol nearby arrive in time to see Arianna take off with Diamond. Springing immediatley into action the guards intercept Arianna, Grabbing Diamond by her rear haunches the first guard pulls on Arianna's mane in a fit of rage she bucks the bat ponies as hard as she can , Causing one to bleed from his eyes. Making her escape Arianna heads for the nearby mountains. Forced to stay behind to ensure his partner is alright Night Guardsman Mikau glares after the escaping Pegasus mare. Making her way to the base in which she had set up; Arianna drags a quietly weeping Diamond Tiara to the cellar, tossing her into a make-shift cage Arianna scowls and yells "Shut your mother fucking mouth Tiara!" Straightening up at the force in which the sentence had been delivered Diamond was frightened by the seemingly strange stranger for having known her name.

Muttering to herself Arianna ponders what she should do with the young filly. Noting the pure terror and fright upon Tiara's fetures gave Arianna a sense of pure ecstasy, but it was not enough. Now what should I do with you Tiara? Should I cook you alive? NO.That's to good for the little bitch that you are....No I think I'll...." Trailing off Arianna takes to her new thought with glee. Prancing over to the worktable directly across from Tiara's cage, she begins picking chemicals off the shelf. Buring herself into this new task Arianna Does not notice the Group of Mares Hiking past the Cottage. Taking notice of the sound of soft sobs, the leader of the group a small Buttercream Pegasus called out Soflty "H-hello? A-anyone there? A-are you alright?" Beginning to respond to Flutter Shy's inquiries Diamond was gagged and bound by Arianna before she had the chance. Calling up to Flutter Shy, "I'm fine, just got something in my eye for a moment." Accepting the explanation from Arianna with out a secong thought Flutter Shy responds; "O-oh okay then.I hope you feel better." With That She saunters off.

As the hiking groups hoofsteps fade in the distance, Arianna glares at Diamond with intense malice in her eyes. "If you expect to suvive the night I suggest you listen. Now I want you to shut the fuck up and sleep, If not you will feel the wrath of the true bringer of chaos first hand." Holding a bottle of sulfuric acid close to the filly's face she gestures.Diamond sobs softly and wallows in defeat as she begins to softly cry herself to sleep.

Arianna returns to her work upon the table intently mixing precise measurements of hitherto mostly unknown chemicals. Preoccupied with her work soon night turns to day. Yawning Arianna takes a break, locking down the cellar before heading to the cabins master bedroom inspecting the locks upon the door to the cage, inspecting the magic seal, and window bars she leaves and falls fast asleep.
