Warning: The following chapter is very disturbing. You have been warned.

Wow, now that I'm reading the 'Warning', I seem heartless. And now that I'm thinking about it, you kind of want it that way, no? Well, I just killed the mood.

Bummer.

Anyway, this chapter is a bit disturbing. Enjoy. :)

A few days later...

There wasn't a sign of Aceymac anymore. It seemed like he was never existed. No evidence, no struggle, just a poof like a fart from a pixie fairy.

Out of all the Apples, Albany Beauty was the one that was struck the most in grief, pain, and sorrow. Her Mac-ee would never just walk out and leave her. A countless boxes of tissues were piled up in Albany Beauty's room as she looked herself in to weep for her husband.

By being a city-mare, Albany knew that Aceymac was a honest and hard-working farmer that was just sweet. He always had a smile on his face, cheering up anypony's day. Every pony in town knew him and loved him.

Why would anyone stallion-nap, or even murder him?

No ransom note, good-bye note, or even a trace of him was found where he was last seen.

"Wahhh!!" Albany Beauty balled in sheer tears, being in her room.

She was crying much louder than Apple Bloom, and that was something. When Applejack, Big Macintosh, and even Granny Smith tried to talk to her, Albany would just refuse.

"She's going through a very tough time, kiddies." Granny Smith said, looking at Applejack and Big Macintosh with a strained smile.

Granny Smith now had gray hair that seemed to dominate her mane. Her face was already a bit wrinkled as age took a role.

"Is Pa', alright, Granny?" Applejack asked.

"I hope so, Applejack." Granny Smith said. "I'm just fuzzeled as you are." she said, patting Applejack's head.

Inside Albany's room...

Beauty Albany continued to sob and weep for her dear Mac-ee that somehow suddenly disappeared without a trace. The police ponies, actually all were stunned and shocked of the disappearance and couldn't do anything.

They've searched the town a few towns and managed to send a message of Aceymac to Manehatten, Canterlot, Fillydelphia, and many other cities. All the ponies in town also attempted to search for him, but all they drew was a blank.

Beauty Albany blew her nose into a another tissue, filling it with mucus, snot, boogers, and other things that accompanied the nasal waste. Looking at her work, she wrapped it up and threw the tissue back at the ginormous pile that sat behind her. The waste basket was filled sky high as Albany went for another tissue,

"Oh, where have you gone, deary?!" she exclaimed as her puffed red eyes closed as she blew her nose.

Her voice wasn't lady-like anymore and her voice was now...

Anal nasally...

As she sobbed again and blew her house, lightning crashed outside the home, in which she looked outside. The rain suddenly began to come down in a light drizzle. But then in the distance at the foot of the forest, she saw a pony...

A light brown caramel pony that looked like him...

Aceymac.

"Big Mac, do you think it's his?" Applejack asked, looking towards her older brother.

"Eeyup."

"He always wears it, right?"

"Eeyup."

Big Macintosh and Applejack looked down at a hat, a cowpony hat. Their father's hat. Aceymac's hat.

"I think you should hold onto to it, A.J." Big Macintosh said, taking the hat by his teeth.

With the hat in his mouth, he placed it on top of Applejack's head, it being way too big for her. The hat's brim was too wide for Applejack's head. The hat fell down, covering Applejack's face.

Big Macintosh chuckled as Applejack got the hat off.

"It's too big."

"You'll grow into, A.J." Big Macintosh said as Applejack looked into the hat.

"I think you should keep it."

"Why?"

"Well... I think that Pa' would've wanted you to have his hat."

Big Macintosh shook his head as he began to speak.

"Pa' would've wanted you to have his hat." Big Macintosh said. "Besides, brown doesn't suit me well."

Applejack laughed.

"Just what Ma' says!"

Big Macintosh then softly chuckled at the true remark.

"Eeyup." the red colt said. "Now, treasure that hat, A.J. I know Pa' is going to come back someday."

"Ye-yeah!" Applejack said, putting the hat on top of her head.

Since it was too big, it fell over, covering her face. Big Macintosh softly chuckled as Applejack laughed.

Their Pa' would come back someday.

Wouldn't he?

---

Albany Beauty raced down the house, her hooves clicking the wooden stairs as she raced out. And near the foot of the stairs Granny Smith sat sleeping in a rocking chair with lil' Apple Bloom by her side,

Apple Bloom sucked on her pacifier and was particularly quiet as Granny Smith snored loudly.

"Schnoodle the doodle!!" Granny Smith exclaimed in her sleep.

Apple Bloom stared at the ceiling and at her sides as Albany Beauty zipped past her. Apple Bloom looked at her running mother, who was bolting out of the house.

The thunder rumbled softly as the rain intensified. Only the sound of the clock ticking, Granny Smith's snoring, and Apple Bloom sucking on her pacifier was heard. The rain made contact with the roof, making a pitter-patter sound.

Albany Beauty ran towards the forest as she saw the figure of her husband standing right at the foot of the forest.

"Aceymac!! Honey!! Is that you?!" the city mare exclaimed as the visibility became pour due to the rain.

The figure soon began to slowly move towards into the forest, in which Albany sprinted into.

"Dear! Come back!!"

As the lightning crashed and flashed, a pale and white figure wearing a suit and tie appeared a few hundred feet away from the red mare. Standing tall and emotionless, it craned it's neck so it's head went towards it's shoulders. A drop of blood suddenly appeared from it's eyes. The lightning crashed again, the monster now closer to Albany Beauty.

As the rain continued on, Albany Beauty went deeper into the Everfree Forest... with a monster that lived in it right behind her.

---

Albany Beauty began to pant as she sprinted after her husband. The rain wet her clothes and mane, making her clothes slightly heavy and bringing the mane down. In the thick forest, the rain seemed to be softer as the sheer thickness of the trees stopped the water from touching the ground.

"Aceymac?!" Albany Beauty called out as she lost him. "Where are you?"

The forest was silent, only the thunder and rain making noise as Albany Beauty slowed her steps. Breathing heavily, lost and confused - she had no idea where she was.

"M-mother of Celestia, where am I?" Albany Beauty cried out as she looked around her.

One of her hooves got stuck in the dirt, in which she screamed in reaction.

"Argh!! Dirt!! Wet dirt!!" Albany Beauty screamed as the wet soil tainted her beautiful skin. "No! No, no, n-"

She immediately stopped as her felt something looking at her. Silence claimed her mouth as the rain quietly pattered on the trees' thick leaves. With a heavy atmosphere around her, Albany forced herself to look back.

Nothing.

The tall and grim trees overshadowed the terrified mare as she felt something appear behind her back. With that, she looked back.

Nothing again.

"H-hello?" Albany Beauty asked weakly. "Anypony there?"

Silence greeted her again as an odd draft came from behind. Slowly turning her head, Albany Beauty saw something the size of a head nearby a trunk of a tree.

Could it be?

"Aceymac!!" Albany Beauty said rather quite loudly. "Sweetie! You're fine!!" she said as Aceymac's head was around a tree trunk.

"Thank Celestia that you're fi-EEEEEKKK!"

As Albany Beauty looked around the trunk, Aceymac's head to be exact, stared lifelessly into Albany Beauty's eyes. The neck and body were completely gone. The pool of blood by Aceymac's head was dry. A pool of blood rested below Aceymac's neck.

Albany Beauty shuddered and began to sob to see what happened to her husband. Her teary eyes soon left Aceymac's and went towards his neck. The dry blood had left a trail towards a large rock, in which a horrifying scene was seen.

Aceymac's body laid cut open and mauled. The intestines, heart, and kidneys were still intact as blood was everywhere. The nearby trees had blood on it, a radius around the dead body of Aceymac.

"Wh-what did they do to you?!" Albany Beauty screamed as her tears streamed down her eyes.

His legs were in many pieces. The hoof was only attached to pieces left of his body. Holes seemed to be in as blood covered his feet. Bloody lungs on the opposite sides of the rocks, seeming as if it was forcibly ripped open. Blood stains tattered some distance away as Albany Beauty began to break down and continue to sob.

The spinal cord was snapped in half and pierced Aceymac's heart. The headless body along with the gruesome things just shattered Albany's heart.

Who could've done this?

Behind her, the whole time; Slenderman was watching. As he always has been - more than a few thousand years.

Some time ago...

Exiting out of the house, Aceymac whistled a catchy tune as he made towards his shed.

"Hey, Big Macintosh, I'll be in the shed, ya' got that?" Aceymac called out to his son.

"Eeyup."

"Alrighty'!"

Aceymac walked across the field to the small farm that held all the tools and supplies for repairing and other necessary things. Hammers, screws, and many other things, he was well prepared to fix anything up.

But the reason why he was in there was to resume working on a small little project - a small competition against Magnum, a friend. Magnum and Pearl were a lovely couple with a daughter named Rarity. They also just had a new foal, by the name of Sweetie Belle.

Aceymac thought it would be perfect for Applejack and Apple Bloom having playdates with Rarity and Sweetie Belle. But, Apple Bloom would have to be a wee bit older until that happened. Farm life was tough, and Applejack and Sweetie Belle needed somepony to play with. But Big Macintosh needed a friend also, but no other colt seemed to pop up.

Magnum chose the potato while Aceymac chose his personal favorite - apples.

"You see, Acey, my boy, the potato can discharge a good amount of energy using this do-hickory thing-a-mo-bobber!!" Magnum exclaimed.

Aceymac and Magnum were sitting in Aceymac's shack as Magnum demonstrated his project.

"Ya' mean a light bulb?"

"Silly Aceymac, you with your wild imagination... I call it, Lightning Glass 7000!!

"It's a light bulb..." Aceymac said. "And 7000? Why a random number?"

"Because 7 is the number of letters in 'potato'!"

"What? No? I'm not that educated, and I know that there isn't 7 letters in 'potato'."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Magnum said, sighing.

He placed his arm around Aceymac and looked up in the air.

"You see all those stars in the air, Aceymac?"

"Stars? We're still inside the shed, Magnum. And all I see are wood grains. And 'air'?!"

"My point exactly, Aceymac!! Potatoes were made by the stars of Crimson!"

Aceymac chuckled at Magnum's ramblings and wondered what he was doing right now. With his potato and Lightning Glass 7000, he said he could conquer the world. Even a little bit insane, he was a good friend.

The thunder suddenly clapped as rain followed immediately. A downpour ensued as a giant draft came inside the shack. The tools always lifted from the work table as Aceymac placed his hoof on his hat so that it didn't fly off.

"Good lordy, that's a gust!!"

Aceymac fumbled in the shack as forced himself through the sudden gale of winds. To walk, he placed his hoof down, making his hat fly off into the sky.

"Aw, I liked that hat!" he said as he saw the hat go up high in the sky. "But I have to make my way back..."

As the winds and rain suddenly got stronger, lightning crashed as he felt his vision impaired by some unknown force. Aceymac tripped and landed on the ground pretty hard. The thick mud covered him but was soon washed away as he tried to escape.

Black streaks seemed to be in his vision as the stallion managed to open his eyes. As he looked around, he saw something on two hooves. Standing tall and wearing a suit. Black tentacles from it's back blocked the way towards his home.

He was trapped.

Aceymac's brain just shouted one: Run.

With that, he bolted into the place behind him - the Everfree Forest.

Author's Notes:

Welcome to my author's note. Hello there again.

I found Slendy to be a bit... Asshole-ish.

Oh, Slendy... You sadistic-

HANDSOME SON OF A DEVIL!!!

(Good) Ole' Slendy...

Also, Slendy's smile is nothing like that. In this, his 'smile' is much more gruesome.

Oh, and how did you like this chapter? I went a bit far in the bloody and disturbing stuff this time. Actually, I would've actually gotten more graphic, but that would've been rated M if I described word by word of Aceymac's demise.

I apologize if this was short and that it took some time. I want to reach at least 7000-10,000 words per chapter, but... I dunno. That's a lot.

Maybe next chapter!!

Also, I drew the cover art myself!! I see that some of you noticed!! My art isn't the best, but I hope you at least understand it.

Oh, and another thing, I may not reply to ALL of the comments anymore in this story. It sort of drains time when I work on my stories. But I WILL answer questions!! Keep that in mind!

See you soon in the next chapter!! (Or somewhere. Anywhere but here.)

Toodles.
