Even farther from home

IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE. I will explain the sudden change of personality in later chapters. I would also like to mention that I am not very good with writing gore, so this chapter probably sucks.... and its short....

The sensation you were feeling was one that you haven't felt ever since you came to Equestria. The act of killing that pony shot adrenaline into your system, sending your senses into overdrive. Your eyes shrank into thin lines but still gave you the ability to see through the darkness. The smell of blood filled your nose which sent a primal feeling your ancestors felt when on the hunt. The feeling of your raw power sent you into a frenzy, a frenzy that would almost be able to cure your addiction of moon sugar. ALMOST.

Lowering yourself to the ground, the ponies were still frozen in place, giving you the perfect opportunity to scout them out.

'Let's see.... There are eight in total, two unicorns, five ponies and one pegasus.'

Planning to take out the pegasus first to prevent him from calling for help, another devious thought came to mind.

'J'lea will take them out from the shadows, it will be so much more fun this way!'

Putting your right hand into the air, it began to vanish into nothingness, which slowly infected your whole body until you vanished into thin air. To say the least, the thugs were flipping their shit. First they witnessed the gruesome death of their boss by the hands of a "Pussy cat", but now they just saw the same cat disappear without a trace. The group looked franticly around, searching for any sign of your location.

'J'lae loves the fear on their faces, it almost makes me feel bad.'

Sneaking up behind the pegasus, you grabbed both of his wings and put your foot on his flank for leverage. With a hearty tug, you ripped his wings off. Before he could scream in agony, you put your hand over his mouth to prevent him from warning the others. With your free hand, you traced three deep gashes into his neck, and set him down quietly. With the others still unaware of your presence, you were only slightly annoyed at the little fountain of blood that spurted out of the the two little stumps where the pegasus's wings used to be. Still oblivious to you, you sneaked behind two earth ponies that were standing next to each other. With your claws still dripping from fresh blood, you licked them clean. The taste of iron and copper sent a shiver down your spine and almost made you moan in pleasure. As you were right behind the two, you managed to get in between them and were almost at their heads.

Positioning your hands below their jaw line, you raised them up with enough force to bypass the skin and muscle of their jaws and landed your claws into the inside of their mouths. With a swift movement, you slid your hands back to your sides and slipped back into the shadows. Examining the two new corpses, they began to ooze out bubbles of blood from their mouths and exposed flesh. With three down, you began to slink to the three remaining ponies who were closely huddled next to each other.

'They're making this too easy.', you thought with a smirk. Raising both your hands, a feint, green glow emitted from them. As you waved them into the air, one of the ponies spotted you.

"There he is!", he warned the others. With your location found, the trio of ponies charged at you. You only let out a small chuckle at their stupidity. Bringing your hands down, a pale green aura spread throughout the vicinity, causing the trio to go limp and and fall to the ground, paralyzed. Walking towards their still bodies, you placed your hand on the nearest one and sent a constant flow of frost into his cranium. Repeating the process for the two remaining ponies, you searched for the unicorns.

With no surprise, you spotted them a few yards away from you, eyes widened in fear and shaking in a puddle of urine. As you walked towards them, they made no movement for fear of your wrath. Slowly caressing the face of one of them as if to comfort them, you brought your mouth around her neck. You slowly traced two lines with your canines that split her skin and left a shallow mark. Hearing her struggle for breath was almost too much for you. Having enough fun, you took a chomp out of her neck and simply pushed her to the ground. Savoring the taste of raw meat, you were unaware of the other unicorn charging at you. As you turned around, you were too late to react as the unicorn plunged his horn into your stomach. You stood there unmoving, examining the unicorn. He had a cocky grin that portrayed him as the winner. But with you still breathing, you reached down to his horn which was impaling you.

Taking a grip of the base, with a flick of your wrist, you snapped his horn in two, causing him to fall on the ground in pain. Digging into your open wound, you twisted the horn out, and flicked it to the side. Healing yourself, you grabbed the unicorn by the neck and raised him in the air.

"Who are you?", you whispered. The unicorn simply laughed at you.

"You'll never know considering you killed the Don's son. By the end of the week the Don will know something is up when we don't come back. He'll have your head.", he said. This brought a smile to your face.

"Me? Dead? Even old uncle Sheogorath finds it hard to kill J'lae." With that said, you conjured a flame into your hand and plunged it into the unicorns exposed stomach. The flame ate away at his fur and skin until it reached his muscle and intestine. The smell of his cooking flesh brought another problem though.

'How is J'lae going to get rid of the bodies.... The smell of pony meat is quite enticing.'

Having a new plan formed, you dragged all the corpses into a pile and set them aflame. Within minutes, the meat and bones of the corpses were burnt to a crisp, save for one wing you put aside which was only cooked slightly.

'Pegasus tastes like chicken.'

Burning the rest of the evidence and the bloodstained ground, you noticed it was still dark out, maybe around midnight. Walking with a hop to your step, you returned to your branch and prepared yourself for a nap.

'Today was a good day.'
