Chapter 1

Please excuse if messy.I wrote this on my iPod at 12 midnight with spellcheck on.

There are many good and bad things in a ponies life.I can't really count them all,but I know that there are a lot of them.

One of the good things is Friendship.

All ponies need Friendship.It's just like that.If you didn't have friends,what's the point in living anymore?

Well,one certain character thought that.But he wasn't a pony.All he thought,was that if you didn't have friends for at least ONE day,then you should be killed.Pretty gruesome eh?

There was no way anypony could stop him though.He was too powerful.

Even If somepony died,Nobody would actually know that she or he had died.They all thought that she or he might have moved to another place of  Equestria,or just gotten lost.Nobody thought,that they would die.

Nobody.

But you never know,one day somepony could come and find the mystery of this phenomenon.

It was a quiet day in Ponyville,apart from the hammering of rain on the roofs of all the ponies houses.

This rain was the worst recorded in years,after the sky ponies had all gone to the hospital after a massive collision.There were broken bones,bent wings and even slight concussion in the sky ponies.

The magic ponies and earth ponies were now suffering from a tremendous downpour.There was flooding in the lower parts of Ponyville,and now there was the frequent sight of floating dead ponies."It's horrifying." said Twilight Sparkle to herself.

Twilight was one of the ponies who volunteered to take care of ponies in the hospital and who's houses were in danger of flooding.She had kept safe Applejack,Pinkie Pie,Rarity,Rainbow Dash (Who had 2 broken wings),Fluttershy,and for some reason,Derpy Hooves.

Twilight didn't mind Derpy,but she kept knocking books of their shelves, which greatly annoyed Twilight.

Rarity and Applejack were cooking some stew in the kitchen.Rainbow Dash was in the spare bed,next to a roaring fire which Pinkie Pie was kindling. Fluttershy  was looking after Rainbow Dash, taking her temperature every so often. Twilight was checking out her books to see if there was anyway she could help. Derpy was trying to stay out of trouble.As for Spike?Well, he had gone on holidays, the lucky thing. None of the ponies expected an attack, or a death. But it would come. And it would hit hard.

-9:06 pm-

31 minutes before death

'Ah think we're done!' cried Applejack from the kitchen. Rarity came out and laid the table, as daintily as possible. 'Excellent, I'm starving!' cried out Twilight from her study. She had studied so many books that evening that she was quite weary and very hungry. She came down the stairs and sat down at the table. Everyone looked very cheerful-well Rainbow Dash looked slightly crestfallen but nevertheless, she looked happy to be with her friends. Applejack served the stew and everyone tucked in. As Twilight ate, she could hear the ponies conversations. Rarity was talking to Applejack-'That was some "secret ingredient" yes dear?' 'It sure was, sugar cube. Might take the recipe me self.'

Sure enough, Twilight did find the stew more tasty than any other she had eaten before. Fluttershy was atleast trying to make contact with Derpy: 'Derpy?Um, can you...talk?I mean if it's ok...Um...*cough*'

'She needs to toughen up...' thought Twilight.She snorted at the idea. Then she felt sickened with herself.

The other 2 ponies were talking to but she couldn't hear them since they were at the end of the table. Twilight ate for a bit, and was about to ask Rarity when her next fashion show was when there was a large BANG from the end of the table. Pinkie Pie stood up and shouted 'LIAR!LIIIIIAR!Thats it!I'm leaving!' And to the shock of everyone except Dash, she walked to the door, and slammed straight through it,wood and all.

There was a shocked silence for about 10 seconds.Then...

'Dash...what happened?'

Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash.She was almost crying.

'Well..it was all well and good...but then a...I don't know...She suddenly just screamed "LIAR!"at me...I didn't even do anything!It was like she was...possessed!'

Twilight looked stunned.She looked through the hole in the door:there was nobody there.She repaired the door,and slumped in front of the fire,thinking.

-9:22-

15 minutes before death.

Pinkie Pie looked outraged.She didn't know why;she had no reason to be.She didn't know where she was,somewhere in the Forest.There was a lot of trees,so that was the hint.But something had taken her over here.She wasn't her happy self,nor was she angry,now she was scared.She put 2 and 2 together...something had possessed her brought her here,and now she was lost.'So there's a bad guy on the loose now.And he's making people lost.Someplan to take over the world.' thought Pinkie to herself.

She checked her watch that Rarity had given her for her birthday: 9:33.She realised it took her quite a while to get here,considering it was 9:22 when she left. She was about to leave,when something grabbed her around the neck.HARD.She choked,and fell backwards.There was a deep pit here,and she fell down it.As she screamed,she saw a cloak figure at the bottom.She heard a crack as she landed on her back and she screamed in pain.She couldn't believe she was still alive,but she could barely breath.She looked up,and saw a pair of red,shining eyes.

The last thing Pinkie ever saw was a dagger pointing straight towards her cranium.
