A/N: This is my first story. I want to thank my older sister Painty for beta-reading it for me.
Thief
Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony
It all started at sundown, the peaceful sun setting over the horizon. Its pink glow shone over the rooftops of the town houses. Ponies were going home with their families while a small, black, foal-like figure scurried out of the Everfree Forest. It was going to Lyra and Bon-Bon's house. It knocked over a flower pot as it crawled through the open window.
"What are you doing, Bon-Bon?" Lyra asked as she was upstairs taking a shower. "I'm just cooking dinner!" She shouted over the sizzling pan. The black figure then ran into the living room and under the sofa. It watched as Bon-Bon walked past the couch and up the stairs. Once she was gone it ran into the kitchen, heading towards the fridge.
Once it finally opened the fridge, it saw a bunch of food. From lettuce and carrots, to eggplants and corn, to apples and oranges. It seemed to be heading for the apples as it quickly swiped them and began to head towards the kitchen door. It froze hearing the clip-clop of hooves and managed to squeeze itself into the dishwasher. When Bon-Bon entered with Lyra, they finished cooking and gathered their dinner to eat at the table.
"Wow! You made my favorite again! I love fried peppers and carrots!" Lyra exclaimed as she began to quickly gobble up her food.
"I just wanted to practice making my best friend's favorite meal." Bon-Bon said as she also began to eat. The black creature quietly got out of dishwasher and peeked through the kitchen door. It saw the ponies eating and waited until one of them got up.
"You know what goes great with dinner?" Bon-Bon asked with a grin.
"What?" Lyra asked while Bon-Bon got from her seat.
"Some lemonade!" Bon-Bon shouted happily as she went back into the kitchen.
"Now, where is it?" She asked herself before tripping on the creature. "Ouch!" Bon-Bon yelled as she hit the floor and Lyra came into the kitchen. The black creature grabbed the apples and made a dash for it when Lyra opened the door. She didn't seem to notice it running out the window.
It seemed to have wings as it flew off. It went pretty fast for a small little pony as it went near Fluttershy's house. It went into the chicken coop and bucked the door open as it hissed at the chickens. They clucked and made a fuss as the figure tried biting them. Fluttershy then came out of her house and quickly walked over to the chicken coop. She unlocked the door and was trampled by chickens as they ran about. "Oh dear, calm down everypony!" She hovered above the ground as she saw something chasing her plumpest chicken.
"Oh no! Elizabeth, get into the chicken coop! I'll save you!" The chicken did as told while Fluttershy tried grabbing the creature. It then went after another chicken when the plump one got away. A loud cluck was heard as Fluttershy was too late and it got a bite of one of the chickens. The chicken clucked and little by little, the clucking got softer and softer until it stopped. The chicken had died.
Fluttershy gasped and saw this open chance to grab it. She didn't want to but quickly got a large bird cage from inside her house and trapped the creature in it. "I'm so sorry I had to do this." She said as the creature hissed at her and continued to bite the chicken.
