things that go bump in the night
Three weeks had passed since the attack. Libby's stitches were in process of being removed.
"Ow! Dammit Devin that hurts!" She screamed at the doctor.
"Hang on I'm almost done" he replied snipping the last piece.
A scar was prominently displayed on her pale skin.
Rarity, Pinkie and Angelica pulled the healed girl upstairs into the studio of Trenderman.
The girls giddily asked the Slender brother to give the new pasta a makeover.
A grey tube top with a star shaped charm at the bottom, a pair of two-tone grey stripped leggings, a black cropped leather jacket and black knee high riding boots.
Her knife was slipped into a holster on her thigh. The lace gloves wrapped around her hands as she played with the retractable claw function.
"Thank you for the new wardrobe Carson"
"It's my pleasure, anytime you need an outfit or two, you know where to go" he said pushing his glasses back into place.
A white tendril snaked it's way up the girl's thigh.
"Richard if you want to keep that, you will remove it immediately" Libby said swatting at the appendage.
"Sorry sweet cheeks, can't help it" offender chuckled withdrawing the tendril.
Libby walked downstairs, backpack slung over her shoulder, grabbed a couple apples from the kitchen and ventured out into the woods. Around her neck was a miniature ocarina that Ben and Dark link had given her.
Libby had gotten far enough away from the mansion that she couldn't even see it anymore.
Just as she went to take a bite of her apple, a shrill battle cry echoed.
With one hand, Elizabeth flipped open her knife as she calmly stepped backwards, narrowly missing the blow from a crude scythe.
The wielder of the said weapon had ash grey burlap skin, black hair. Her mouth and eyes were formed like shredded patches on her face. A worn ruby red tattered dress hugged her lanky frame.
The wielder of the curved blade stood dumb-struck at the spot where her victim was missing from.
''Come to join your brother have you, Scarecrow?'' Elizabeth called from her perch in the old cedar.
A crisp crunch was audible as an apple core dropped onto the intruder's head.
''You'll pay for what you've done, you retched wench'' she growled slicing through the branch with ease.
Blade in hand the inexperienced killer fought. One swift swing and the more trained hit-woman relinquished the other of her arms.
In a fight or flight moment, Libby swiped at Scarecrow with her claws and ran.
Using the instrument hanging from her neck, she called for Phantom Epona.
Meanwhile~
Ben and Dark were in the stable arguing about some petty subject (again), when Epona started getting riled up. She kicked and bucked at the door holding her. The moment Dark unlatched the stall, she took off darting into the woods.
''See, even Epona hates you'' the shorter teased.
''Shut up, we've gotta go after her'' huffed Dark as the two chased after the skeletal horse.
And now back to Libby~
The girl fled through the woods towards the cave where Rake and Bob lived.
''Help, Rake, Bob!''
The said creatures looked to see what the commotion was, only to find Epona coming to a halt, her caretakers right behind.
The guys watched in horror as Libby was cut down before them and hauled away by golden strings. With a flash of smoke, they were gone.
