Well...it's not gonna hurt if I quickly CHECK, is it?

     Smiling, you touch down near the aforementioned cottage and change back into your normal pony form. You move quickly and quietly, avoiding the windows, but little do you know you're being watched.

     You think you hear a voice...no, that was probably just the wind.

     Thankfully, the pony's home is unlocked. That shows that this community is very trusting of one another...good to know. The door creaks a little, but not enough to be noticed by normal pony ears. As you slink in, you quickly realize that hooves make a lot of noise, even with light steps.

     "Buck this" you mutter after dealing with a particularly annoying floorboard.

     Your body grows smaller and smaller as it slowly transforms. Your mane and coat grow shorter and more unkept, while the hair on your tail completely sinks into your skin. Ruby eyes glowing in the dark room and nose above your body trying to catch the scent of your surroundings, you completely change into a greasy rat.

     Smiling a tiny little smile of delight, you quickly scamper across the floor to explore the rest of the house. It takes longer to get around, but you manage. Definitely a necessary sacrifice considering that at the rate you were going you would have woken up the entire house.

     The front room contains mostly birds and small mammals, which barely do anything for you considering that you need a little over a gallon of blood to be full. No, no, you'll need to find other forms of sustenance...why didn't you check out the holding pens first? Whatever, you're hear already, you might as well finish the rest of the house.

     The bottom floor really is small, containing only a front room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. Disappointing. You're about to leave when you notice some stairs. Ugh. Stairs are a rat's mortal enemy. Carefully climbing up each individual stair takes some time, but it's worth it.

     You nearly weep at the sight of what lies before you. Well, I don't know if rats can weep, but if they can, you almost probably just did...nevermind.

     A multitude of different, moderately sized pets, with enough blood to keep you satisfied for a long, long time, softly dream in their little beds. Dogs, cats, weasels, opossums, anything you can think of! The plethora of creatures surround a bed large enough for a pony to sleep in. Yes. Perfect. The caretaker of all these creatures. A small, yellow pegasus sleeps soundly beneath her warm quilt.

     Kill her.

     ...that wasn't your thought.

     Who said that? you think, as if it would respond to you.

     No such luck...maybe you're just hearing things.

     The mare IS looking rather tasty, though, now that you mention it, Ominous voice. Her young body rests while her blood moves smoothly through her veins. If you killed her off, you might have a few DAYS before anypony finds her...and you can help yourself to all of her little animal friends while THAT happens.

     ...but then again...it isn't right to do that. She's innocent...besides, she might arouse suspicion anyways...

     Just do it.

     As the voice speaks again, clearer this time, your stomach suddenly feels...emptier. How convenient. Now that you look at her a bit more- NO! No! Get out of my head, you freak! I'm not hungry...or am I? I don't know, I just need time to think.

     Kill her now, lest you awaken my wrath.

     So hungry, so thirsty...surely a little nibble wouldn't- NO NO NO NO NO! Leave me alone! Shut up, you don't know what you're thinking! You're hungry, you're starving! Your tongue is a desert! No it isn't! Just bite her bucking neck! Do it!

     Which will you choose?
