The Experiments Of Twilight Sparkle [READ WARNINGS]

Chapter 6

It was dark. Black. She was unaware of anything. Asleep. Suddenly it was cold and wet. Something was dripping down her body. It woke her up just a little. Then she remembered... NO! That didn't really happen. Of course not. It could not have. It was just a false memory. A dream...

She heard a voice, "Fluttershy. Come on Flutter." The voice was accompanied by sounds of misery. She was coming to. But she was afraid to open her eyes. The stench of death was in the air. A scream suddenly rang through her ears, with a splat noise soon after. Her eyes were more tightly shut. She thought to herself. NO! It's not true. I refuse to believe it! But what she could hear suggested otherwise.

"FS, we can't start this if you are not awake." The voice sounded clearer to her now. Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes... They widened with terror as her worst fears were confirmed. Pinkie Pie was on the floor, cut open and empty, and next to a pile of her own meat fragments, with a large puddle of blood under. And there was Rainbow Dash. One of her hind legs was almost completely bone. And the other was being ripped apart by its owner's jaw. The pieces were being thrown into a pile two meters away from the sobbing cyan Pegasus. Though hornless, Rarity was otherwise untouched.

Fluttershy's shining eyes watered at the sight of her friends like this. It was too much for her to take in. Scared and confused like nothing before, Fluttershy averted her eyes down. But that made it worse when she saw Applejack's severely bent, dead body right below her. She regurgitated and was about to pass out again. "NO! Fluttershy!" Twilight dumped more cold water on Fluttershy, who reacted to it immediately. The bound Pegasus began to cry hard.

Twi tried speaking words of comfort to her dear yellow friend, "I know. I know. It's hard. But I'm here for you." Fluttershy only cried harder, not understanding why Twilight was saying this. "Hey. I know what will make you feel better. I brought a friend." Twilight had a tied up Angel hover over to them from the back room.

"*Gasp* Y-you let Angel go!" Fluttershy did her best to give the kidnapper 'the stare.' The demented Unicorn gave that same impossibly wide smile as before, in return. Flutter was taken back.

Twilight giggled, "Oh, Shy. I was just teasing. Guess who's turn it is for experimentation!"

Fluttershy's heart was pounding like a jackhammer.

"Fluttershy represents the element of kindness. Her cutie mark shows three butterflies. That is saying that she's kind to animals in the wild, tending to their needs. Do we all acknowledge this? Rainbow?"

"AAAAAA! Hu hu hu hu! I'm nearly done with my back legs. Soon I will walk!" Dash said throwing the severed leg bones into the pile.

"I'm so happy for you. Rarity?"

Rarity said not a word. She merely hung her head low, letting out constant quiet wails and whining, not sure how else to cope with the trauma from what was transpiring that night.

"Great!" The magic unicorn made a chef's knife materialize and held it with one hoof.

Fluttershy almost let panic get the best of her. But she regained enough composer to give Twilight the stare again. "Don't you hurt him! Let him go now, if you know what's good for you!"

With a sudden fast movement, Twilight held up the knife right in Fluttershy's terrified face. "I won't hurt him." Her magic baring horn set Fluttershy's right upper hoof free. She landed the blade's handle into that right hoof. "Would you hurt Angel? Just a stab in the heart will do. For me? Please?"

"Wha... ?... I could never harm another creature... Except you!" With such emotion, the yellow Pegasus threw the large kitchen knife towards Twilight. It grazed her left side. The sharp horned mare picked up the knife and gave herself a horizontal slash across the forehead, wearing a big smile.
