A Summer To Die For

She started to run quickly. She was out of breath, but she had to run or else they would get her. Why me? Gumdrops thought. I have done nothing wrong. Where's my child? Gumdrops searched frantically around the room.

"Friddle where are you?" Gumdrops shouted. She hoped they hadn't gotten her baby. "Fri-"

"She's over here!" said a deep and dark voice. "Let's get her!"

Gumdrops searched around the room for a place to hide. The monsters or soul takers were after her. She could here them getting closer and closer. The room was dark with a king size bed which she could fit under it. She took her chances under the bed, even if it would be fatal if the soul takers ever found her. They would devour her soul of course and use her body for evil or they would feed on her body. She dove under the bed just has dark mists went into the room.

"Search the room!" one of the soul takers demanded. As they looked through the room, Gumdrops felt an evil presence next to her.

She slowly turned her head around to be met by glowing red eyes.

"Haven't you been naughty." the soul taker said.

Screams pierced through the nights, and then everything was silent.

Friddle laid in one corner and watched everything happen. She saw the evil dark mist drag her mother into the room she was hiding in. She saw how they quickly ate her body, leaving the intestines and gore for later. It was too much for a 14 year old pony to be seeing. She didn't ask for her mother to die in a such horrid situation. She knew the soul takers had seen her though. They didn't devour her soul or used her body for evil, but they did give her a reminder that they had been there.

Her mothers eyeballs rolled in her direction. They stopped rolling and stared at her direction. Friddle couldn't help but sob a little, covering her mouth as she did so. At a blink of an eye, the soul takers were gone.

Friddle sat there for a moment staring at her mother's body, or what was left of it. Her stomach had been left torn open, nothing inside it. The legs were half eaten and there were still sharp teeth marks on them. Blood was all over the floor and soon all over Friddle as she lay next to her mother crying for hours.

At that very moment, something inside Friddle had snapped.

This summer is ruined! she thought. They took away my mother and that was my only family left! It isn't fair how everypony can enjoy their summer while I lay here crying in pain and witnessing the gruesome sight of my mother being torn apart by soul takers! Peaceful little ponies playing around all day while I have to repeat the same disgusting image all over again! Well they'll be in for a little surprise.

Ten days after the incident, no one has heard of Friddle. Everypony just dismissed the idea. That same day, a little pony by the name Frolick was walking around Ponyville when she saw a weird looking cabin. It was strange to her because the cabin was near the Everfree forest. The cabin was HUGE and it was covered in black. Frolick was a curious little pony and when it comes to exploring on a bright sunny, she was up for anything. She entered the cabin and the door made a squeaky noise. The sound hurted her ear so she decided to leave the door open so she wouldn't have to hear it again until she left. The door gave some light to the cabin, but there was nothing inside the cabin. Frolick was about to leave when something caught her eye. In a corner of the room there was the stomach of a pony, torn open with nothing inside it, and legs cut in half with some wierd looking teeth marks in it. Frolick began to panic and was about to leave when the door closed.

"Well look what we got here, a little guest." a sinister voice said.

Frolick screamed but a hoof was clamped over her mouth.

Twilight decided to take Spike to the river so he can stop whining about getting to bathe in it.

"Gee, thanks Twi, I dunno what to say." Spike said.

"Cut the crap, you only get 5 minutes." Twilight said being annoyed about Spike's continuous whining the past 5 hours.

"Ah, finally we arrive here!" Spike said.

"Ok 5 minutes on the clock, GO!" Twilight shouted.

"Here I g--AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Spike shouted.

"What is it now, afraid to jump in?" Twilight said rolling her eyes.

"Is that a pony with its eyes torn out?" Spike said and pointed at the pony near the river.

"Sweet Celestia, that's Frolick!" Twilight shouted. "Come on let's go get the police!"

Friddle lay in the cabin with her eyes open. She had a sinister grin on her face.

That felt so great! she thought happily to herself. Frolick's expression when she saw me take out that nice was just hilarious! This may be my first kill, but look out Ponyville, Friddle's is going to get you.

Friddle laughed frantically and put Frolick's eyes in the jar. In the jar she marked EYE COLLECTION.

"So officer what do you think may have happened to this pony?" Twilight asked the officer.

"In my opinion, somepony used a knife to tear the eyes out." The officer said looking at the body.

"Somepony tearing the eyes out?! Are you nuts?! In a peaceful town like Ponyville!" Twilight said.

"Well if it wasn't somepony then we must be facing a real monster here." The officer said.

"Oh no, not another one. The changelings were a big problem already. Why don't these monsters learn that they never win?" Twilight said.

"Somepony told me that they have seen this pony walking near the Everfree forest. I'll have to check that area." The officer said and with that he left.

The officer came across a big black cabin.

this may be a good place to search for clues. he thought.

The officer entered the cabin, greeted by the same squeaky noise Frolick heard,too. The officier left the door open to shine some light inside the cabin.

"Where's a fashlight where you need one?" he grumbled.

He looked around the cabin but saw it was empty. Something in the corner caught the officer's eyes. There was the stomach of a pony, torn open with nothing inside it, and legs cut in half with strange teeth marks in them.

He went to take a closer look at the body when the door closed.

"Hey who's there?" the officer asked looking for his gun.

"Just your worst nightmare." a psychotic voice said.

The last thing the officer heard was the sound of a chainsaw.

Friddle slept peacefully that night. She also had her eye jar in next to her. There was only one difference, there was a new pair a eyes in it. The room had also changed a little. Joining her mother's body was the police officer's legs. Friddle decided to dump the rest of the officer's body parts in the Everfree forest so the animals can finish it off.

There were no more murders that summer. No one heard of the officer after he went to investigate. Everything returned to normal and everypony was looking forward to a brighter future.

Friddle stared silently at the moon in the sky during the last few days of summer. She didn't want to kill anymore because she was thinking of more surprises for next summer. She would prepare during fall, winter and spring before she would take action.

I'll be back next year Ponyville, bigger than ever, just you wait...
