The Rake glared at the Slenderman, or more seemingly the Guardian, for protecting that insolent human who dare kept the pictures that he sought to destroy. Rake raised one of his claws and slashed at the Guardian's face, leaving three long gashes across it's face.
It was then that another tentacle came from the Guardian's back and clung on to Rake's claw. Before Rake could slice again, he felt something pierce through his chest. Rake didn't cry out, knowing it would give the Guardian the satisfaction of seeing Rake in pain. Just before Rake died, he shot a glare at the human who caused all of this.
That human, he was what caused Rake to meet this fate. All because of pictures of him. Rake did not like pictures being taken of him. The people who did, died shortly afterword. Rake didn't even wince as the Guardian pulled out it's arm from Rake's chest. Just before Rake hit the ground, his eyes clouded over, he was dead before he even hit the ground, but his soul was elsewhere.
Rake shot up with a gasp. He stood up and looked around. He was in some kind of forest. Rake walked forward and was surprised that the sound of flesh hitting ground did not reach his ears, instead the sound of hooves echoed through his eardrums. He glanced down at and what he saw shocked him. Instead of hands, there were hooves, but his claws were still there, and they were both connected to light gray legs.
"What the hell?" said Rake, before gasping again. He spoke, he actually spoke. His voice sounded strained and tight from not being used. He used his voice again, "Hello? Is anybody here?"
It was then that Rake realized that he was in a forest and what lurked in them. Rake's eyes quickly shot around looking for a tree or anything that was tall and thin. No seeing anything that fit the description Rake sighed in relief. Then he heard voices coming from behind him. He quickly went into the underbrush and hid, looking at where the voices were coming from.
One sounded like a girl's, but it had a more tomboy's voice. "Why are we here again?" said the tomboyish voice.
Then the memories of what had happened before flashed in front of his eyes. 'I should be dead, but I'm not. Why?' thought Rake before the tomboy voice came again.
"Alright Twilight but, I still don't see why Fluttershy and I have to come along."
Twilight, or who Rake thought was Twilight, said, "That explosion could have scared some of the animals. You know how that manticores and other animals can get spooked. They'll attack anything in sight. I need you here if Fluttershy can't calm them down."
Rake then heard rustling and saw a purple horse with a horn atop it's head coming from the directions of the voices. It was followed by two other horses, one of them flying and another by ground.
He saw that they were coming closer to where he was hiding, so he bolted from his hiding spot farther away, though he accidentally clipped a bush, causing it to rustle as he got to another spot. The horses heads immediately turned towards the rustling. The horse in the air flew behind the spot where Rake was hiding, while the other two approached from the front and side. It was then that Rake realized his mistake, he took a spot in the underbrush that was next to a tree.
Rake hissed loudly as he realized that he was caught by such a rookie mistake. He would have to make a run for it. He jumped out of the underbrush and glared at the horses.
Twilight couldn't believe her eyes. In front of her was a small colt with a light gray coat, wings that looked like they were broken in different place some parts had bones sticking out of them, claws, a look of pure fury in his eyes, and a strange cutie mark.
The cutie mark was a pair of glowing eyes in a shroud of darkness. Before Twilight could speak the colt in front of her hissed, showing off two rows of canine teeth. The colt bolted off quickly at an incredibly fast pace. "Hey get back here!" shouted Rainbow as she chased after the creature.
Though Rainbow was flying fast, the colt still managed to stay ahead of her. The colt then started weaving through the trees, making Rainbow lose sight of him until she caught sight of some movement.
The Rake was getting tired of this chase. He looked back and saw that the flying horse was still after him. He kept running forward and dodged the trees that came in his way. He looked back again and that was another mistake. In front of him was a ravine that ran down about 200 feet and the width was about 20 feet across. Rake plummeted down the ravine, crying out.
Rainbow flew straight after him. 'Come on! I need to go faster!' thought Rainbow as a familiar cone surrounded her, but before she could go any farther, the colt planted his foreleg against the wall of the ravine. There was a sound much worse than nails scraping across the blackboard as the colt slowed down. Sparks showered the colt's face as he stopped himself.
Rainbow caught up before picking up the colt and flying to the top of the ravine, despite the hissing she heard coming from the colt. She reached the top, but still held onto the colt as Twilight and Fluttershy appeared rushing through the undergrowth.
"What is this thing?" asked Rainbow Dash as Twilight took the colt in her magic.
The Rake struggled in the purple light the enveloped him. Hissing and swearing so bad under his breath that a sailor would be blushing at some of the words.
"I don't know what it is. Could it be Discord's magic?" asked Twilight looking at the horse Rake thought was Fluttershy.
"I don't know, but we can ask him," said Fluttershy, "but maybe we should get this colt to a hospital first."
Rake hissed loudly and struggled hard to get free. Realizing it wouldn't work, Rake began swearing, "Of all the fucking times I get caught it's from three cock sucking horses! I can't believe that I die and get caught by three fucking horses! Can it get any worse!?" As if in answer, it started to rain. "Bullshit!"
All three ponies looked at the colt with shocked and appalled expressions. "Watch your language!" said Twilight, having a blush on her face from some of the words.
"Like I'll give a fuck." said the colt.
Twilight decided to ignore the swearing and asked, "What's your name?"
"Rake. That is all you need to know, besides the fact that once I'm out of this.... mist I'm going to kill all three of you." said Rake as he glared at all three of them.
"Wait, you mean to tell us that you don't recognize magic?" asked Twilight, connecting that the mist was her magic.
"Magic? The fuck is that?" asked Rake.
Twilight just shook her head as she walked towards Ponyville, despite all the swearing that is coming from the colt.
