Winter Hack Up

Fluttershy left the room and returned with a cart carrying a variety of ominous tools, a spool of surgical thread, a surgical sewing needle and a box of long screws. The metal from the tools glittered in the candle light as the fire dances off their blood thirsty teeth. She stopped the cart next to her. A wicked grin carved itself across Fluttershy's yellow face as she turned to face Rainbow Dash, sledge hammer in hoove. With a swing of the sledgehammer, Fluttershy aimed for Dash's bottom left leg. A sickening crunch sounded as she crushed Dash's bones. a scream gave way through her sealed mouth. Fluttershy repeated the process on the remaining three legs all while laughing madly. Fluttershy untied the rope on the pulley, letting the board slam on the floor. Fluttershy kicked the bottom of the board, making it lay flat on the dirty floor. The vibration of the fall moved Rainbow Dash's broken bones and sent another shock wave of pain through her nerves causing her to cry out again. Her magenta eyes screamed in confusion and hurt. Fluttershy began singing her lullaby again as she started pounding screws into Dash's wings. The pain caused Dash to lose control of her bladder and urinate on the board. The yellow puddle soaked into the short, sky blue fur on Dash's hind quarters and seeped into the wounds on her flank. A burning sensation added to the pain. Fluttershy then took a butterfly knife and started to carve out words on her abdomen. She spelled out Loyalty and finished the "y" with a lightning bolt. After finishing she tugged on the pulley, sending Dash back up on the wall. Fluttershy removed all the leather bounds on Rainbow Dash except the one on her head, leaving her to hang and screw-decorated wings. Shy then turned to Applejack, still smiling wickedly. She did the same to AJ as she did to Dash, carving the word Honesty into her abdomen. She made the "o" into an apple. AJ cried and tried to writhe in pain.

"Now now AJ, if you move, you'll mess my artwork up and I'll have to start from scratch." Shy said softly. Drool started to drip from Fluttershy's mouth as she finished. What else could I do with he--YES! I know exactly what to do now, Shy thought to herself. "AJ, I was going to eat this myself but I think you should have it." She said as she shoved a big red apple between Applejack's thighs. AJ's body twitched in retaliation and tried to look over at Dash. Suddenly Fluttershy took the sledgehammer to AJ's legs, as she did Dashes. She screamed as more pain shot through her nerves. Shy repeated the same process on the other ponies. She crushed their limbs, carved their elements onto their abdomens with a butterfly knife. Everyone dripping with blood from their fresh wounds. Shy took an axe to Dash's wings and crudely attached them to her cloak.

She turned to Rarity, bringing her cart of pain with her.

"Rarity, did I ever tell you that you have the prettiest of eyes?" Fluttershy whispered. Rarity shook her head in reply. "Well they are. I want them..."

Rarity's eyes widened when she understood what Shy wanted to do and started shaking her head madly in her restraints. Fluttershy injected everypony with adrenaline again so they could watch.

Taking the spoon, Shy said, "You'll match Pinkie, Rarity! Isn't that exciting?" Fluttershy forced Rarity's right eye open and began to dig with the spoon. Bit by bit Rarity's eye came out, juices and blood squirting out. She ate the pieces as she went, chewing and smacking her lips loudly. "I had to take Pinkie's eye out. She just...WOULDN'T!...STOP!...CRYING!!!" Fluttershy yelled as she stabbed spoon in Rarity's eye repeatedly, getting more flesh out as she went. After she'd finished she looked at all of them, anger rising in her out of no where.

"STOP CRYING!! ALL OF YOU!! STOP BEING AFRAID!! YOU'RE ALL GOING TO LOVE ME!!!! That's what best friends do right? They love each other no matter what. RIGHT?!" Fluttershy shouted, her voice booming. They all nodded the best they could. Good, Fluttershy thought. She focused her attention on Twilight, bringing her board down as she did Dash's. Smiling she started to caress Twilight's face. "Hush my love, it will all be over soon." She whispered and she aimed her needle carefully above Twi's eye socket. Fluttershy drove the needle in deep and quickly removed it. "See? Now you're all better." She said, blind folding the pony and taking her away. She sat Twilight down in another room, away from the others and closed the door behind her. "I'll come back for you soon, love." Shy said through the door.

After returning to the others, she took the skinning knife and began cutting just above Dash's new cutie mark location and down below her element, then back up to the cutie mark. She cut away the skin attached to the flesh carefully and laid it bloody side up on the ground. She did this to everypony. She ripped out everypony's organs and eyes, not losing her evil smile and without giving them anesthesia. She left everyone's hearts so she could watch them all stop. Her skin artwork was hung next to their bodies. There's something missing Fluttershy thought. Ah yes, now I know! She removed their faces, and made masquerade masks out of them all. She wore Rarity's and pranced around the room with glee. Everypony's heart finally stopped and Shy yanked them out. She pulled down the bodies without remorse. She put them in a pile and burned them after opening the window to vent. She blew out the candles and left the room, locking it behind her. With the hearts in a basket, she went back to everypony's house and put them in their beds. Morning was just breaking by the time she came back home, not one pony was out to start Winter Wrap Up. She washed up and went back down to get Twilight and put her to bed, huming the lullaby to her. As they fell asleep, Shy could hear the panicked voices rise in the air, growing by the numbers as everypony slowly found a heart in her friends' beds. She smiled.
