She sighed regretfully. She'd been tasked with cleaning up the barn that day. It had been dark within the structure and none of the oil lamps were around. Her mind had been preoccupied on her evening with Sweetie, thus she hadn't been thinking to clearly. She tried starting a small fire in the centre of the barn with some straw in order to have some light. It would've gotten out of control if Big Mac hadn't been, at that moment, returning some of the lamps. No matter how many times she apologized for the incident, it was all in vain. 'What were you thinking? Dry straw will light up like a Harth Warming Tree. You could've set the whole barn alight. Off to your room missy, 'cause you're grounded for a week.’

You see, this is how children get killed in horror movies in the first place because they can't go anywhere else.

She paused in thought. Sweetie Bell. She had staggering amounts of pretty dresses. And her toys. Sweet Celestia did she have lots of wonderful toys. She smiled. They were best friends after all. Apple Bloom was confident Sweetie would share some, if not all of her toys with her best friend in the whole world. Sweetie Bell wasn't selfish, and with all of her own toys and dresses destroyed, she'd understand.

And the cycle continues.

I wonder what happens to the 'children' who already finished their cycle?

That's what makes the mystery so intriguing and horrifying. That's also the key to writing good horror. Explaining just enough of the monster that the audience can get a general idea of it, without lifting up the entire curtain and exposing it for all it's glory.
