Chapter 7 Killer Beware

Rainbow Dash had kept her distance from the hedgehog now. His little 'threat' had really done a number on her. She couldn't even scare the newcomers anymore, and worse rainbow production had been pulled back by the dozen. She grunted in anger towards herself as she shoved one of the lagging newcomers forward.

As she passed the cell she couldn't keep herself from turning her head. She had had her guards put chains across the door to prevent him from escaping, but her eyes widened in terror as she saw the Hedgehog sitting in front of it smiling that demonic smile along with the blood red eyes and crimson tears. That wasn't the only thing though what really scared her was the cell door open and inside on the wall written in blood was ' YOUR TIME IS UP '

Without meaning to she ended up tripping over her own hooves. A guard pony helped her up but was confused as to why she tripped in the first place "are you alright Dash?" He asked. The blue Pegasus accepted his hoof and stood again "I am but the Hedgehog is out." She stressed pointing to the door cell. The guard looked at the cell she was pointing to "what hedgehog?" He asked giving a confused look. Rainbow's rage returned "Are you blind the Hedgehog is sitting right th.." as she turned back to the door she realized that he was no longer there and the cell was closed and chained like it was before.

Rainbow looked towards the ground for a minute to think was the Hedgehog really out or was she just hallucinating. "But he...He was there." She muttered. The guard just shook his head "I think you need to rest for today...maybe..." Dash cut him off "don't talk to me like I'm crazy!" She yelled making him shrink "He WAS there he's just toying with me." The guard shook his head and decided to ignore the rest of her rambling as he escorted the herd to another cell.

Rainbow Dash continues to work. Trying to keep her mind off the hedgehog, but when you work in a factory that shreds innocent ponies in a very gory way, it's kinda hard not to think about someone that can kill ten times worse. Dash shook her head and went about her job keeping her from and keeping her mouth shut about the locked cell.

However after a few days it kept getting worse. Dash would wake up from bed drenched in cold sweat her nightmares were becoming more unbearable by the days. She was always tired at her job and would look as if she was sick. She had shrunk considerably in weight and size and her usual rainbow colors on her tail and main were faded. Somehow Dash pulled through , but she wasn't too concerned about herself as the days past she started noticing that more and more guards were disappearing.

And even worse they were far behind in rainbow production making many earth ponies and unicorns worry especially since the elements of harmony never returned from their mission. Dash could only make up an excuse for princess celestia but even she was beginning to worry and loose patience.

Dash could barely bring herself to cross paths with Sonic again. And she had a reason to he was getting more insane by the day and when she would ask him why he was doing this he would only laugh maniacally. At the moment he was pacing around the cage snarling his disapproval and anger. It made Rainbow shudder but she forced herself to try and stay in form even if she looked sickly.

Sonic enjoyed her attempts to stand her ground. He especially loved the smell of her fear, the way she would come to work sickly looking her eyes wide with terror and paranoia. He would purposely snap at her whenever she tried to feed him, but to his disappointment Rainbow Dash was still going. The hedgehog breathed a sigh of annoyance as the pony pushed a tray of meat through the slot. "You might wanna eat that cause it's the last meal you'll get." Rainbow said trying to sound confident Sonic laughed at this "finally showing some of that old backbone huh?" He chuckled and licked his lips "I can't wait to tear it out of your blue hide." His words sent a shiver down her spine but she held her ground. "You won't get the chance by this time tomorrow you'll be shredded." She said

Sonic gave a loud bellow of laughter that shook the chains on the door "oh really just a few weeks ago you said the same thing after you killed my friends." He said Dash gulped "your stalling Dash...you want to see what I can do...your challenging me and I don't very much appreciate it...but don't worry before that saw even touches a strand of my fur...I'll have your head and wings mounted on my wall." his eyes glowed a brighter red as he said this and he gave a menacing smile. Dash 's ears lowered and she backed away a little " so I'd watch your back if I were you." Sonic growled before turning away back to the dark area of the cell his tail dragging the tray with him.
