The Equestria Chain Saw Massacre
The Hitchhiker and the Rest Stop
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe hitchhiker sat down and looked around the small cab. He saw everypony looking at him, some with shock, some with a normal, everyday look. He wore a orange shirt, and held a small, furry bag around his neck. The most shocking look on him was his face, covered in blood.
"Where you headed, partner?" Applejack asked.
"South." The hitchhiker replied.
"Where did you come from?" Starlight asked.
"I came from that old slaughter house," The hitchhiker replied," I was the killer!"
"I see," Starlight replied," You know, i have a friend who works in a slaughter house. He says that the best way to kill them is that air gun thinger-mobobber... is that what you use?" Starlight asked again.
"Oh, no. That gun's no good!" The hitchhiker replied," I use the sledge-hammer! It's better! It usually kills them better."
"Wow," Starlight said surprised," I thought the hammer was no good."
The hitchhiker took out some pictures from his small bag,"Look!" He said handing Starlight the pictures. Starlight looked at the pictures with surprise. Some of them showed only the corpse. One showed the hitchhiker holding the hammer. Starlight passed the pictures around for the others to look at them, except for Fluttershy, who was shaking after hearing the conversation.
"H-how about you guys have dinner with my family?" The hitchhiker asked,"My family would love you guys!"
"Umm..." Rarity said.
"We're kinda in a hurry," Applejack said," We probably won't be able to. Sorry."
"Please!" The hitchhiker begged,"I don't live far! You could take me to my house. I don't live too far."
"Sorry," Twilight said with displeasure.
The hitchhiker frowned, but he quickly smiled as he took out a camera. He looked around the small cab at the other ponies. He was wondering who's picture to take. He finally stopped looking when he saw Starlight. He took a picture of her. There was a small flash, and a small creak noise.
"He... he took my picture." Starlight said nervously. The picture came out of a small slot on the camera. The hitchhiker took the picture out, and pulled off the small black paper. He began to laugh like a mad mare. He looked at the picture, and handed it to Starlight.
"I-it's a good picture!" He said,"You can pay me now."
"What?" Starlight questioned.
"Two bits," He said," It's a good picture!"
"It didn't come out so well." Starlight said with a frown.
"Starlight, give him back the picture." Applejack said hesitantly. Starlight gave the hitchhiker back the picture. He frowned, but then he took out a small piece of tinfoil. He spread it open, and lied the picture onto the foil. He then took out a small case of some sort, and poured a black, powder-like substance onto the picture. He grabbed a match, and lit it, giving a small hissing sound as the picture burned to ashes.
The whole crowd in the cab started to go a little crazy. Some were backing up, others were trying to realize this wasn't an attack. They all calmed down eventually, and then there was silence. An awkward silence. It was a long one too. After getting bored, Starlight took out a knife. The knife had a small tag that said "To my best friend, Starlight. From: Sunburst". She started fiddling around with it, and this caught the hitchhikers attention. He grabbed the knife from Starlight's hooves, and looked straight at the blade. He was smiling, but he was silent. He then held the handle, and put the blade on his left hoof. He sank the blade into his hoof, and laughed as a streak of a dark, red liquid dripped from his hoof.
The entire cab went crazy again. Others telling him to stop, others gasping for breath at the gruesome sight. Fluttershy was covering her eyes, crying. Her tears were falling from her hooves. She was terrified. She wanted this stallion to leave. But because she didn't want to be rude, she kept her snout shut. The hitchhiker gave Starlight back the knife. She stared at the blade with wide eyes. The blade was stained with dark, red blood. She quickly tried to wipe it off with a close-by cloth.
The hitchhiker looked at the cut with glee. Something popped in his head immediately.
"I have a knife!!" The hitchhiker said as he took out a brown handled razor. The razor was long, and shiny. And it looked sharp. So sharp, it made most of the ponies in the cab (especially Fluttershy) jump out of their skin.
"Ok," Applejack said,"Put it away."
"It's a good knife." The hitchhiker said, trying to hand the knife to Applejack.
"I'm pretty sure it is." Applejack said, not taking the knife.
The hitchhiker smiled, and began to laugh again. This time, he was laughing more like an asylum hostage instead of a simple mad mare. He reacted quickly. He grabbed Starlight's arm, and held the blade in his other hoof. He put the sharp part of the blade onto Starlight's arm, and sank it in, and gave her a long, dark, red gash. Starlight was terrified. So terrified, she didn't have anytime to react. Everypony was screaming. They were telling the cabby to stop the cab. Yelling and screaming. Starlight finally got herself together, and used her magic to push the hitchhiker away. The other ponies pushed him, and kicked him out of the cab. The cabby began to move again, trying to go as fast as he can.
The hitchhiker tried his best to keep up with them. He kicked the cab, and blew raspberries at them, especially at Starlight. He put his bloody hoof on the cab, and smeared a symbol of some sort, until the cab was out of his reach. The last thing Starlight saw was the hate inside those eyes. Those eyes stared at her with ate, and anger, and even hunger. The cab went off into the distance, and the hitchhiker was seen no more.

After bandaging the arm of Starlight, the rest of the group calmed down, trying to forget what just happened. There was a sign that said "Last Chance rest stop". The cabby decided to stop there. The heat was killing him. The cabby stopped at the rest stop. An older looking pony came out. He wore a gray shirt, and brown pants, held up by a black belt. He came out to the cab as the cabby, Twilight, and Fluttershy went into the rest stop.
"What can I do for you girls?" The older pony asked.
"Do you know where the old abandoned house is?" Starlight asked.
"I-I think I do," the older pony responded,"But why would you want tot go there, huh? It's not nice to be hanging around another pony's property? Besides, it's old, and ruined. Not a nice place to be."
"Well, our friend owns it now. Prince Shining Armor." Applejack said.
"I see. Well, how about you ladies stay here for the night, huh?" The older pony offered,"I've got some good barbecue here, and you girls would actually be my 1,000th customers. I'll let you stay for free."
"Well, I know we can't stay," Rarity said in reply,"But, I am pretty hungry, and I don't mind buying us some barbecue." Rarity began to walk out of the cab with the older stallion into the rest stop.
Twilight and Fluttershy trotted back to the cab, with Rarity behind them. The cabby came back, completely wet. He had poured water all over himself to cool off. He latched back on to the cab, and continued on his way. The group was out of sight from the rest stop, and to the group, the old house was in view.
