The Fog

Fluttershy was stumbling through the woods until she was running into things. She stepped on many rusty nails and rotten wood, but she didn't care. " Hello?" She said quietly.

No response.

She heard the crunching of footsteps and froze. "He-Hello?" Fluttershy was a little scared now. More crunching was heard and it seemed to get closer. "W-Whoever is th-there could you please um answer me? If you want to..." Everything was a blur after that. There was hooves wrapped around her neck choking her. "P-please stop!!!" Gasping for breath. All the sudden her gasping stops and the shadow returns... Her eyes go a blood red, and she seems stronger than the pony choking her. She gets out of the ponies grasp and hoofs them in the face, breaking their jaw. "Don't mess with Fluttershy." She says with a evil grin. Then she grabs a sharp stick on the ground. "This? This is called revenge!!! I'M GONNA MAKE SURE YOU DON'T EVER MESS WITH ANYPONY EVER AGAIN!!!" Fluttershy then digs the sharp stick into the pony. Then makes a gash down the ponies stomach, and puts her hooves in the gash. At some point the pain must've been too much, because the pony was unconscious. She smiles at her work so far, but thinks that this pony needs more pain. She manages to hold in all their organs while she carries them to her cottage.

Pain

When the pony awoke they started screaming. "SHUT UP!!!" She screams at the pony. She then puts adrenaline into the pony so they won't go unconscious again. "Well pony! At least tell me your name since you'll be dead soon!" The pony is still in a lot of pain but manages to say "Lightning Dust." Fluttershy remembers this pony that nearly killed her and her friends with that tornado. "Lightning Dust?" She laughs with pleasure. "Oh you don't remember me, do you?" Lightning Dust shakes her head. "I'm one of the friends of Rainbow Dash that you nearly killed with that tornado!!! And then you try and CHOKE ME!?!?" Lightning Dust looks terrified. "Scared? Of me? You should be!!!" Fluttershy then grabs a tray full of knifes and needles with some sort of medicine in them. "You tried to hurt me and my friends. And I'm gonna make sure you pay hell for it!!!" She grabs a knife and starts to sharpen it. "You won't live through this, I can ASSURE you!" Fluttershy then gives a grin. Then all the sudden digs it into Lightning Dust's legs. Lightning Dust screams as loudly as possible. "Oh put a hoof in it!!!" Says Fluttershy. Then hacks off Lightning Dusts wings. Lightning Dust blacks out and Fluttershy gives her the mysterious drug in the needles. "I can't wait to make you into a pillow for my animals!!" Fluttershy says excitedly. Lightning Dust then throws up at the thought of being a pillow. "Hey!!!" Fluttershy then shoves the throw up back into Lightning Dust's mouth and forces her to swallow. "More pain to come!!!" She then twists a hot knife through Lightning Dusts heart and she seems to be bleeding out. "At least you can be a pillow!!! You'll live on in the pillow! Well bye bye!!!" Fluttershy gives an evil laugh as she watches Lightning Dust bleed out lifeless. She then licks the blood off of her own hooves. Then gets started on skinning her. "She'll make a lovely pillow..." She says in a quiet voice. After skinning her she makes the pillow. "How beautiful!" Says Fluttershy delighted. "Too bad she isn't here to see it!" With a grin she then leaves the room and takes the pillow to her cute little animals.

Darkness

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.

The Dream

She woke up in a dark room. "H-Hello? Is anypony there?" Suddenly the lights turned on and she saw a pony.  Fluttershy gasped as four more walked out of the darkness. "P-Pinkie Pie? Rarity, Applejack, Twilight? R-RAINBOW DASH?!?!" Fluttershy was starting to panic. "W-Whats going on?" Twilight walked up with a grin. "We see you've woken up. Pinkie Pie tell her." Pinkie Pie bounced up. "Well you see, we figured out how bad a pony you are and so we decided toooo... Rainbow Dash? You wanna finish?" Rainbow Dash nodded and walked up. "We are going to kill you for your crimes! And in a VERY awesome way! Torture!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly, an evil look in her eyes. Fluttershy backed up against a wall as her friends crowded her. "N-No please! Don't hurt me!!! I-I didn't mean to! I didn't know what I was doing!!!" Fluttershy screamed. Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie got a tray. "Let us begin." Said Rainbow Dash in an almost insane voice. Pinkies hair deflated and she has a crazy look in her eyes. Fluttershy let out a bloodcurdling shriek. "NO PLEASE!!!" But they we're already grabbing her and putting her in shackles. Fluttershy gave up, five against her... No she wouldn't win. "Do your worst. I deserve it." Fluttershy said, she realized this was her fate and calmed down. Rainbow Dash looked happy. "Let us begin now." Fluttershy then realized that the shackles had wires around them. "Oh Celestia..." Fluttershy whispered to herself. Pinkie walked up and placed a hot nail on her hoof as Applejack gave her a hammer. Right as Fluttershy started to scream while Pinkie raised the hammer. Pinkie whipped the hammer down, driving the hot nail into her hoof like a hot knife through butter. "OH CELESTIA NO STOP PLEASE!!! THAT HURTS!!!" Fluttershy screamed. Pinkie Pie frowned but then laughed a little. "Well it's not supposed to feel good silly!" Pinkie Pie did the same thing to her other three hooves while Fluttershy screamed. Then Applejack made sure that the wires were touching the nails on the shackles. "Eeyup we're good ya'll!" Said Applejack. Rarity looked excited. "Oh dearest! Your pain will be over soon! But that will be much later!" Rarity smiled almost evilly. Fluttershy realized the wires were hooked to what looked like a car battery. "NO!!!" Fluttershy pleaded. But Rainbow Dash was already headed toward it. Without warning, Rainbow Dash zoomed over to it and turned it on. Fluttershy made a type of gurgling sound and then everything went black again.

Insanity

       All Fluttershy remembered about the night before was them... Hating her... How could they hate her.... She WAS great with animals... Wasn't she? "Angel? You don't hate me do you?!?!" Said Fluttershy. Angel hopped away. "ANGEL!?!?" Yells Fluttershy. The bunny starts sprinting away. She grabbed the bunnies tail. On the brink of insanity she screams in the bunnies ear "YOU LOVE ME DON'T YOU?!?!" The bunny nodded forcefully in agreement. "Ok then..." Fluttershy wasn't really sane anymore. She then looked at all her critters. "You ALL love me, RIGHT?!?!" Screams Fluttershy. They all look terrified and squeaks of protest were heard. Thats when Fluttershy lost it. She flew at the mice. "WAS THAT YOU?!?!" She yelled in a baby mouse's ear. The mouse squeaked in agreement, obviously not scared of her. Fluttershy grins with insanity. "I'll be right back!" With that she disappears with the baby mouse and comes back a second later with a knife. "See this?!?! Remember this when you say you don't love me!!!" She then digs the knife into the baby mouse in front of her animals. She then sliced the stomach of the mouse open and the intestines spilled onto the floor. "NOW DO YOU LOVE ME?!?!" She is screaming at her animals. The mouses family looks in horror as Fluttershy throws the dead baby mouse on the floor. She then looks at the mouses family. "DO YOU WANT TO JOIN HIM?!?!" The mice all shook their heads and dashed toward their hole in the wall. Fluttershy looked at her bloody hooves. She just realized what she'd done. She was an awful pony, and it seemed from that day on, a shadow seemed to loom over her, reminding her of that day and the gala... Everything.
