Shining Armor and Cadence were enjoying each other's company.
Distracted as they were, they were easy targets.
A cloaked figure approached them, stirring confused looks from the pair.
They weren’t given a second more to act. The figure brought forth a sickle and thrust it into Shining Armor’s neck, continuing to plunge the sickle into his throat until his head came clean off.
Cadence was stunned, how can something so horrible be happening? she thought to herself.
Had she been faster to act she might have gotten away.
The figure lunged forward, tackling Cadence to the ground.
The cloaked assailant then brought out a dagger and submerged it into her chest, moving it in such a way as to carve out a check of flesh.
Carefully, they used the dagger to lift the flesh away, revealing the beating organ that was Cadence’s heart.
The last thing Cadence saw before she faded into insensibility, was the figure reaching into her chest, and ripping out her heart.
