"Bits and Bits, Little Bits. Pieces of fear. I collect all your good little fears and make them fade away! Don’t you cry anymore the pony will drag you away, and you can play somewhere better to play. Hear the stomps, hear the scraps, hear the tapes three times, and that will be his call. Hear the whistle melody over and through your ears, watch him stand tall and he will take to that place to play. Twist and turn and crack let him take you away, for a better place and you will never want to turn back."
~ The Pony in the Black Top Hat Song
Applebloom was running towards her treehouse, sprinting her tiny hoofs faster up the little stairs to her little clubhouse up on the tree. The wind howl and rain pour above her head, with every drip, drip, drip, drip. Applebloom was running from something, but what was she running from, why would she be running away? The little filly reaches the top of the little structure and opens and closes the door, slamming it with force. She didn’t have a lock on the door and no way out but the tiny windows on the sides were her only escape but she had a cold chill run up her veins. Her fur and mane gave chills running down her as she looks out the window seeing now that once was rain and trees ahead was now pure darkness. Nothing, nothing at all but pure black and darkness out the window, Applebloom move backward to the backside of the wall, looking directly at the door, which again didn’t have a lock.
That’s when Applebloom heard it, the sound of stomps going up the little steps. The wind was howling more and she can still hear the rain but it was still pitch black out her windows. The stomping sound was getting closer and closer to the door as then something else was making a noise, the sound of something scraping on each step until finally reaching the door. Applebloom felt so much fear running down her body, she shakes and her heart was beating faster. The doorknob twist and turn as a great force open it. Applebloom closes her eyes as then Applebloom heard voices now in her ears, it sounded like little fillies and colts singing inside her head.
“Bits and Bits, Little Bits. Pieces of fear. He collects all your good little fears and make them fade away…”
“GET OUT OF MY HEAD!” Applebloom screams as she slams her head against the wall trying to make the singing the stop, but it only continues to get louder inside her head, She was in so much fear, her heart was racing and felt it was going to burst out of her chest. She was crying, it wouldn’t stop, why was this happening?
“Don’t you cry anymore the pony will drag you away, and you can play somewhere better to play.” The melody repeated and Applebloom opens her eyes as her eyes were still filled with tears and pain. The singing stopped, she looks around but there was nothing around inside her little clubhouse. But there were fades of darkness around her and she still felt the wall behind her, so she felt she was still in her little clubhouse. Little Applebloom look around in fear, the yellow coat filly was shaking badly, she couldn’t stand because of how much fear she was in. Then one voice echo in her head softly.
“Hear the stomps” Stomps were coming in front of Applebloom. “Hear the Scraps” Applebloom heard them with the stomps as something was dragging on the wooden floor, then it stops in front of her about three hoofs away.
“Hear the whistle.”The whistle melody was loud, echoing around her little empty clubhouse, it was a calm tone of whistling but Applebloom was too much in fear to listen, she closed her eyes accepting that this is the end.
Suddenly there was a strong grip on Appleblooms throat as it slowly lifts her body, the grip was so strong that the gasp of breath she needs open Appleblooms eyes to look at nothing but darkness now around her.
“Watch him stand tall and he will take you to the place to play.” Applebloom saw a top hat float in her vision as it had a little light, she gasps again and suddenly she felt something pulling her head and twisting her head. The pain as she felt like her head was being detached.
“Agh! Augh!” Applebloom tried to scream but the tightness around her throat was holding her in from breathing much to let out a scream as she felt the skin of her throat-ripping off as blood was pouring out of the ripe and down her fur body, she also felt the spin being ripe fully out her body through her head as it slides off and her head comes completely ripe off from her body. Applebloom mouth was pouring out blood, her jaw still moving.
Then as Applebloom look up there he was standing tall, but he was tall though. Applebloom saw flesh and scratches on his slight lightish blue mane and scars around the front body, but the face was merely the nightmare. The face was all torn and some parts were fur ripped out and only can see the muscles, the eyes were silver and the horn of the pony was broken in half, a coldly messy blonde mane as it looks to be damp and damage, while most of his front mane was cover by a large black top hat.
“Don’t worry filly, just close your eyes” the pony levitates her head into some sort of sack as he throws Appleblooms head inside, all Applebloom could hear now was the sound of stomps and a cruel and sinister laugh of the pony as Applebloom closes her eyes and dies.
A Newspaper on Pony Vill top news article reads in bold "THE APPLES DISAPPEARANCE" on the bottom without bold letter reads "The Apple Family of four family members is somehow gone. Last week a search party of ponies travels around Equestria to find the missing Apple family but the search has come up empty. One the day of the missing Apple family started, two ponies enter the family home to find that some things were destroyed, and most items were gone, but what the two ponies still shocks Equestria, Blood. Blood was in some of the rooms of the Apple family residents, and the two ponies also reported that the front door's hedges were broken off. Police investigate the residents saying it could be a break-in, but some ponies say it could be a highly dangerous pony that murders them, or some say that the Apple family disagreed. There many theories to the case but this remains as Equestria's biggest mysterious crime. The bodies were never found, but Ponyvill fearing that maybe the Apple family had suffered the end and no longer alive. Princess Twilight Sparkle made it clear that if the bodies are not found by next month, they would have a funeral for the sweet Apple Family. Police advise that ponies all lock their doors at night and be safe until further notice. Ponies are still worried about who is next, was it a killer out on the loose, will have more. I'm Wave and this as been Ponycentral news 9."
