The Monster Behind the Mirror

The mare strutted through the door into the store. It was full of ponies at the moment and no one would notice some one went missing, right?

She took her time walking through the rush hour. Two fillies were locked in Sweet Heart's gaze. She licked her lips, this time on the living plain, she'd be able to do what she wished.

The fillies stuck their noses high in the air and started to walk home. The Cakes soon followed, making a delivery. That might be a problem, for an amateur.

Sweet Heart silently slipped in front of them, trotting up to the fork in the road. One led to the old train station, while the other led to Diamond Tiara's mansion. Sweet Heart used her magic to lift a fallen tree and move it in front of the path leading to the mansion. The mare moved in front of the log and made her best innocent and confused look.

"Oh dear! It seems the path got blocked." Mrs. Cake said as the log came into view.

"Let's see if she knows anyway around it." Mr. Cake replied while Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just rolled their eyes.

"There's a path that leads to the mansion on that road. Not many ponies use it anymore though." Sweet Heart replied, making her voice sound a lot like Sweetie Belle. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon snickered at the thought of Sweetie Belle ever being attractive.

Sweet Heart lead the four ponies through the forest. She smirked, five victims in one day? Fate you flatter me. she thought. Her strong mind connection with Sweetie Belle gave her away, but by the time Sweetie would appear, the deed would already be done. Mr. Cake was now struggling to carry the cake and Sweet Heart picked it up in her strong magic.

"Thanks." Mr. Cake puffed.

Sweet Heart nodded and walked towards the train station. Apple Bloom had long since awoken and was struggling against her bindings.

"Are you sure there's a path leading to the mansion?" Diamond Tiara whined.

"Truth is, there never was one.  Why must you ponies be so gullible?" Sweet Heart replied, her face hidden behind her hair.

"What do you mean?-" Diamond Tiara was cut off by a sharp slice. The fillies fell to the ground in a heap.

"Now, I can't let any pony ruin my fun, you will just get in the way. I guess what I'm trying to say is, your just my toys now." Sweet Heart muttered as she shocked Mrs. Cake by giving her a sharp stab. Mr.Cake silently despaired in shock but it didn't last long, he fell to the ground. Both were dead. Sweet Heart let the glass shard fall to the ground. This was going to be fun.

Sweetie Belle suddenly stopped moving. She just stood there for five minutes her eyes wide in fear. Spike and Twilight glanced at each other before Sweetie Belle let out a blood curling scream.

"No! No! No! Applebloom! I didn't mean it! I swear!" she cried out, tears rolling down her face, "Applebloom! I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry!"

Sweetie Belle took off in a flurry, dirt flying behind her as she rushed to save her friend...

Too late. Sweetie Belle heard Sweet Heart.

Sweetie Belle was in a panic but she knew deep down inside, it was too late to save Applebloom.
