Her animals didn't know the pillow she brought them was Lightning Dust, so they liked it. "Hmmm I need to wash up..." She starts licking the blood off of her hooves. Luckily the creatures didn't notice the blood while it was on her hooves. "Little creatures!"  She gets the meat from Lightning Dust and grinds it up, earlier she had dried it, so it looked like their regular food. She had to get rid of Lightning Dust somehow! She smiles remembering the sound that Lightning Dusts flesh had made when she skinned her. Her eyes go to pinpoints and change back to turquoise-blue. She collapses. When she wakes up, the shadow is gone again. And her animal friends are looking over her worried. "I-I'm o-ok little c-creatures..." But Fluttershy knew she wasn't fine. Fluttershy remembers torturing Lightning Dust and making her into that pillow.  Fluttershy is disgusted and horrified by her actions. Before she can think of whats happening, there are tears sliding down her face. She couldn't stop them, but she didn't want to. She never cried, so letting it all out felt nice. Next thing Fluttershy knew, she was running out the door. "I'm g-going for a wa-walk!" She says to her animals as she runs out of her cottage. She kept running until she reached the Everfree forest. She was terrified to go back in, after Lightning Dust... But- something seemed to almost lure her into the forest. Her legs seemed to pull her in, and now she was sitting against a willow in the Everfree. She tried to remember all the events... And remember herself. She started talking to herself. "Ok my name is Fluttershy, I just killed a pony named Lightning Dust, made her into a pillow, and fed her to my animals." To admit all this, even if it was just to herself, felt just as bad as if she was admitting her crimes to the Princess herself. But she keeps going. "I killed a baby mouse not to long before I killed Lightning Dust. And I still don't know why I did it." She felt like screaming and crying, but instead, she just sat there. Suddenly, everything went black.
