The Creeper

It had been about three hours since the Jeepers struck the deal with the demon who he found out was known as the Creeper. He had figured the sooner he got started the better because he already felt hungry and not just for revenge. 'So Creeper how do we do this?' He questioned the voice in his head 'However you think it needs to go down, once you start getting kills you can make weapons from their body parts, like teeth, and bones twined together. I also have a one handed battle axe that can be used if you wish' the Creeper said back.

"Good" Jeeper said aloud as he trotted down the dirt road from his homestead into the small town of Manehattan. The town had been growing lately and Jeepers was thankful that he lived a couple miles away but with the influxes of unicorns and pegasi he knew it wasn't going to be long until he had to move to a more rural location for his farmstead. As he continued down the path to town he started thinking of other towns he could restart his homestead.

A place where no one would come looking, somewhere secluded and remote, yet still close enough to major cities to hunt. As Jeepers finally entered Manehattan, he decided to trot through the side alleys, mostly because he knew he'd get harassed sooner than later and be able to feed, but he also knew that if he took the main roads he'd get harassed by the pegasi that threatened him and his farm and he'd be unable to do anything about it in public. So as he moved quickly and quietly through the alleys, he decided to slow to a walk mostly because he was nearing the shopping district and he needed a new hat and a trench coat that could accommodate the creepers wings when he decided to let them free, and his old coat was to ragged to even fix.

Just as Jeepers was nearing the exit of the alley beside the mercantile, his exit was blocked by a large pegasus. "Lightning Dust" Jeepers said "what do you want?" Lightning Dust was an above average size pegasus most pegasi are shorter than the other races of pony by five inches but Lightning stood at about five foot seven about seven inches taller than most ponies. Lightning had cyan fur with a wired rainbow contrail in his mane and tail.

"I want the same thing I always want when you come to town Jeeper" Lightning said "the money for my protection." And at that four other pegasi defended from the roofs or the sky of the nearby buildings, backing Jeepers up until they were no longer in view of the street or sky, a tactic the pegasi had used before to beat money out of earth ponies. "And if you don't pay up" Lightning continued as he grabbed Jeeper by the scruff of his neck and lifted him ever so slightly off the ground "You won't be walking out of here."

At that Jeeper just started laughing and not a normal laugh but a deep howling cackle. "Why are you laughing you inconsiderate *smack* no nothing *smack* good for nothing *smack* useless earth pony" Lightning asked angrily.

"Because" Jeepers said darkly as his eyes turned black "I haven't had this easy of a meal in years" he finished as he let the Creeper transform his body and because Lightning was still gripping his fur he was brought up about three feet from the ground, the bloody nose Jeepers had healed and his distorted flesh of his Creeper form had no damage. At that Lightning let go and fell the three feet to the ground landing on one of his wings, "Don't just stand there" Lightning shouted as he stood up "Kill him!"

The first pegasi jumped at the Creeper but the he was easily caught and had his wings ripped from his spinal column, as he dropped screaming in bloody horror, two others tried to go for him at the same time from different angles,but again the Creeper easily caught them by the scruff of there necks. He slightly squeezed the air out of there necks as he bashed their heads together knocking them out the two were having none of it and booked it as fast as they could out of the dead end and to their freedom. All that were left was a writhing mass of pegasus with no wings, two unconscious lackeys and the Lightning Dust who was rooted to the spot with fear.

"Now my little play thing" The Creeper said menacingly "I don't think I'll ever have to pay you for protection ever again." He finished saying while cackling madly as he stalked forward to REAp the rewards of a fresh hunt.
