It's the second Nightmare Night after Luna returned, and everything starts out normal. Ponies are having fun, getting candy, and even Fluttershy is trying to join in.

However, hiding out in an alleyway is a certain outcast Changeling. And his time away from the Hive has made him grow desperate.

Gore tag due to small amounts of blood, as well as the nature of the story itself. Sex tag added due to innuendo near the end (nothing explicit).

Also contains some romance.
