Derpy jumped up in bed. Her heart pounded a mile a second as she heard Dinky crying. Whooves wasn't next to her, so she assumed he was going to attend Dinky and comfort her. She laid back down and listened to her baby cry and cry. She didn't hear Whooves talking or nursing her. Derpy took in a breath. Everything's fine. Derpy thought. Suddenly, a loud thump sounds from Dinky's room and Dinky's screams could be heard. Derpy bolted out of bed to see what had happened.

She opened the door and froze. Discorded Whooves stood over the crying baby grinning. Dinky had a smear of blood on her arm and smeared blood on Discorded's hoof. He turned to Derpy and grinned. Derpy breathed heavily and ran to grab Dinky, but suffered a hoof in the face. Derpy slammed to the ground as a hoof slammed onto her throat. With her innocent eyes, she stared up at Discorded.

"My family." Discorded slowly said. "My beloved family. I love to see EACH and everyone of you suffer. This is to good. A baby's scream and crying will make music to my ears. Ha, imagine, a cop standing in a room with a dead baby and a pegasus who can't even stare straight. That'll be a good day."

Discorded stared at Derpy. A drop of saliva escaped his mouth and dripped onto Derpy's neck. He lifted one hoof and slammed it into Derpy's face. Derpy screamed as she frantically flapped her wings. Dinky saw Discorded slam another hoof into Derpy's face. Dinky closed her eyes and tried to use her horn as hard as she could. It glowed and a block with the letter Y on it levitated off the shelf and slammed into the stallions head. He barely flinched and looked at Dinky. He smile and grabbed Dinky by her throat and picked her up. Dinky managed a tear out before she was thrown onto the ground.

"Doctor, please." Derpy let out with the last gasp of air. "Stop."

Discorded froze and collapsed off Derpy. He landed on the wall and slowly fell to the ground. Derpy got up and picked up Dinky. Her left arm was broken and dripping blood. Dinky cried as Derpy wrapped her arm in a blanket. She looked at the stallion. He began changing from gray to brown and finally, Whooves was back. Derpy called the hospital to treat Dinky's broken arm. The hospital came within five minutes and took Dinky to the emergency room. Derpy got some water and walked back up to the nursery. She looked at the Doctor. He had his eyes open, but laid motionless.

"Whooves?" Derpy asked. Whooves blinked. He didn't stare at anything in particular.

"Derpy. I'm a monster."

Derpy walked slowly over to Whooves and wrapped an arm around him. Whooves grabbed Derpy and wrapped both arms around her tightly.

"I COULD'VE KILLED DINKY AND YOU! I LOVE YOU BOTH, BUT THIS WAS WAY TO CLOSE!" Whooves yelled out. Tears flooded his eyes. Derpy kissed him on the lips. Whooves pulled away and got up.

"This won't happen again." Whooves told Derpy and ran out the room as fast as he could. Derpy raced after him. By the time she got downstairs, the front door was wide open. He was gone.

Derpy called out his name. She knew she was too late. He was gone. Derpy screamed out his name and collapsed crying.

He loved her more than anyone could to somepony. He was handsome and caring. He was the best stallion anyone could ask for. Now he's gone.

Derpy closed the door and trotted back upstairs. She opened the window and flew on the roof. She closed it from the outside and stared out. He was gone for good.

One eye shot open. Trees are all the eye could see. He opened the other eye. Still trees. He got up and looked around. The forest wasn't that bad. He liked it here. He was alone with no pony to tell him anything. Whooves took in a deep breath and trotted. He ran right into a wall. He looked at it and realized it was a bar.

Makes since. What pony sleeps in the forest at night. He walked inside. Big Macintosh laid his head on the table and drank a drink. Cheerilee walked back from the bathroom and sat down next to him. The two violently made out. Whooves ignored it and called for a waiter. A waiter came and took what he wanted. He then waited by a table and finally got a nice cold beer. He drank it and fell asleep afterwards. Big Macintosh walked past him and saw the unconscious stallion. He took his drink and drank it on the way out the door.
