Nightmare or Treat

Discord was laying on one of Fluttershy's many couches she had in her house. Speaking of the adorable Pegasus, she was out with Rainbow Dash at some movie. One that didn't really interest the lord of chaos himself. Then again, what movie didn't make Discord happy. He was wearing a baby blue robe with his name gold printed on a breast pocket. In his claw and paw was a book he had recently snatched from Twilight's library, without her knowing of course. When did Discord ever share he took a book from the alicorn's library a number of times. Discord snapped his talon hand and a pair of reading glasses appeared on his face. He flipped the hard cover and with a lick of his finger, flicked the page to the first chapter. Already discord was immersed in the novel. Nothing could possibly distract him from-

DING! DONG!

With a annoyed groan, Discord looked up from his book and toward the door at the far end of the room. He shouted.

"What ever it is, I don't want to buy it!"

He smiled thinking he won and returned to his book. The first chapter was beautifully written with old style poetry, made by the famous Edgar Allan Pony. Oh how Discord admired his work. He could read it all night lo-

DING! DONG!

Another sound to interrupt him. Discord blew smoke out of his nose out of frustration. He slammed his book shut and floated toward the door. He looked through the peep hole and saw a shadow of a figure on the other end. Discord rolled his eyes. It must have been early Nightmare Night fillies looking to score candy a mere three days before the actual holiday. Then again it wouldn't have been the first time. Pinkie Pie pulls the same stunt every year. Discord grabbed the door handle and threw open the door. Only to find nobody on the other end. He gave a look of confusion and stuck his head out the door.

"Hello?" he called.

Looking both ways and not seeing anyone, Discord closed the door. Another knock, this time more frantic. He growled, grabbing the handle so hard it could break off. He swung open the door. Again nobody insight. Discord felt his anger leave him and replaced with curiosity. Sure, Pinkie was able to pull a prank like this. She had help from Rainbow Dash after all. However this time it felt different. Pinkie would have jumped at him by now. Discord shrugged, it must be some cheeky teenager trying to be funny. He teleported to the couch and picked up his book. Floating down like a feather onto the couch, Discord resumed reading. Hours seem to past, Discord closed the book and looked at the clock above him. It was nearly midnight. Fluttershy had been gone for over four hours? Must be one long movie. Discord closed the book and placed it on the couch as he lifted himself up and floated toward the other room where his bed was.

As he was about to climb under the covers, another furious knock was at the door. Discord's eyes shot open and he let out a menacing growl. He teleported at the door and swung it open. However his anger faded again as he saw Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash sitting in front of him. Fluttershy looked as though she was about to have a panic attack. Her pink sweater had crimson splatters all over it and on her jeans. Rainbow Dash looked nervous, she had a large red scar going across her arm and stomach. ripping open her wind breaker hoody.

"My goodness! What happened!?" Discord said.

Rainbow Dash hurried her sobbing friend inside, nearly body checking Discord as she did. She guided Fluttershy over to a couch and had her sit. The Pegasus placed her hands over her face and began crying softly. Rainbow Dash was breathing heavily and looked as though she was holding back her own tears. Discord looked at the two of them and then his eyes slowly went to the blood on their clothes.

"Rainbow Dash what-"

The blue Pegasus quickly spoke, not letting Discord finish.

"Their was another incident at the theater!" she said.

Discord felt his heart sink. Another killing spree. In only a few weeks?

"Was it another impersonator?" he asked.

The only response he had was a serious of nods from Rainbow Dash. She placed both her hands on top of her head and tried to slow her breathing.

"H-how many?" Discord asked shaking.

Fluttershy sobbed even harder and Discord quickly went over to her. The Pegasus buried her head inside his chest. Rainbow Dash sat on the same couch and looked down at the floor.

"I counted four. I would have been five if weren't for Fluttershy."

Discord looked at Fluttershy. That explains the blood splatter on her sweater and the cut on Rainbow Dash. He didn't want to pry anymore than that. But Rainbow Dash read his mind about the question.

"She took the guys weapon out of his hand and slashed him across the throat."

Fluttershy cried even harder. Death griping Discord's arms.

"It wasn't like she wanted too! She was only trying to save me!" Rainbow Dash shot.

Discord was lost for words. For once in his life, he was genuinely shocked. He tried to calm Fluttershy calm while Rainbow buried her face in her hands. He wanted to change the subject. So he did.

"Say, were you two the ones knocking at the door a few minutes ago?"

The two ponies looked at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about? We just got back."

Discord felt his heart sink even deeper. If it wasn't Rainbow and Fluttershy, then who was it? A sudden knock at the door scared all three of them. Silence filled the room and they waited for another knock. Fluttershy screamed as an even harder knock came to the door. It sounded as though the wood would break at any moment. Discord teleported to the door and swiftly opened it. Nothing. His anger boiled and he let out a shout to the open air.

"STOP KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR!"

He slammed the door shut and gave a deep breathe of air. Then, he heard Rainbow speak behind him.

"D-discord."

He turned around to see a little child wearing orange suit with a sack over its head with buttons and a stitching for a mouth standing in front of him. In his hand, the boy held a candy bar. Discord gulped and kneeled down to the boy.

"W-well, hello there child! Are you the one who was knocking on our door?"

No response. Instead the boy nodded. Discord looked at Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, both of their terrified faces slowly softened. He then looked back at the boy who still stood motionless.

"Can I ask why?" he said.

Again, no response. Discord raised an eyebrow.

"Are you shy little one?" Discord reached out to the boy with his lion paw.

The little boy swiped his hand in front of Discord and he reeled back with a loud howl of pain. He looked as his paw and saw a red line run across. He looked back toward the child and saw the candy bar he was holding was actually razor. A look of anger came over Discord. He crossed his arms.

"Now what was that for?"

Suddenly, the boy lunged onto Discord's head. The draconoquise grabbed the hand with the razor as it was only a mere few inches from his right eye. Then, the child let out a terrifying screech which rang in Discords ears.

"All right! Enough of you!"

Discord raised his hand to click his fingers so he could teleport the boy off his head but the little one slit his wrist. Discord gave a yelp and swirled around, bumping into the walls, trying to get the child off his head. He started popping in and out all around the house. The sounds of the child grunting with each hit against the walls or floor. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy waited as a short period of silence suddenly made its presence known. They weren't even in the house anymore.

The struggle between the two of them was still going on. Sam swiped Discord countless times with his candy razor but he always blocked it or managed to get in a good punch to the little killers face. Sam was would grunt in frustration from his blade never connecting. Discord grabbed Sam by his shoulders and threw him into a near by tree. He watched and waited for Sam to rise from the ground. He laid there motionless for what felt like hours. Discord slowly walked toward him, bringing his hands up in a blocking position just in case. he flinched as the sack boys head suddenly jolted up slightly and he heard him groan in pain from trying to stand.

"Now then, lets finish this shall we?" Discord said, trying to catch his breathe.

The draconoquise lifted his reptilian foot high above Sam's head but the little killer smiled under his mask. He suddenly sent his knife deep in Discord's foot and he let out a scream of pain. Sam giggled and gave another powerful thrust with his knife into Discord's leg. He kneeled and Sam jumped on top of him. Discord watched as the little monster lifted his knife above his head, about to deliver a finishing blow. He readied his fingers to send the little killer flying but before both them could set both their attacks in motion, a sudden blast of violet energy came in-between the two. The came the powerful voice which shook both Sam and Discord.

"Cease this attack at once!"
