Spike had been wandering around the place for who knows how long. All he could think about is the fact that his friends might end up killing him, just so they could get out of here. He would never kill. He would never commit murder only for his benefits or anything else. Stopped to feel that he had stepped on a piece of paper. It was another letter from the Doctor:

Dear to whomever may receive this,

WE ARE NOT ALONE. How do I know this? I've seen them. More life. More ponies. But I've come to find it has lead us to even more madness. This manor is filled with horror beyond imagination. There are sadistic mares with weapons of all sorts. But there are three in general you need to look out for: The first one being a little girl. She carries meat cleaver for a weapon and she is extremely fast. The second one does not have a weapon of any sort, except for when she is torturing her victims. We walked in a room where she had somepony tied up and she was slowly cutting the mare open. We were lucky to escape. And finally a mare about six feet and seven inches tall. She doesn't look like she's built, but she is. She carries a long chain with a short spear at the end, and carries a machete in her other hand. Plus there are several others, but they don't come even close to being any threat comparing to these three. If you see any of them, DO NOT ENGAGE. YOU WILL BE KILLED UNLESS YOU RUN AND HIDE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Now you need to find me. That is your ONLY goal. Understand? I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Doctor Whooves

Spike put the note in his pocket and started to run. Only seeing green through his camcorder, he saw light green eyes string at him and turned back in a panic.

"Spike?" A soft, British voiced called out.

"Rarity?" Spike replied. He then herd hoofsteps run towards him and was embraced with a hug, "It is you!"

"Oh God Spike. I'm so scared."

"Do you know where anypony else is?" Spike asked. Rarity nodded her head, "No pony. No pony at all."

"C'mon. We have to find the Doctor."

"What's he going to do?"

"I don't know. But so far he and his assistant are the only ponies I can trust. And you too Rarity."

"Okay. Let's go find him." The two walked down a hall to find the Doctor.

They came to the end of the long corridor to find a staircase leading down. They both peered over to find the third set of stairs had collapsed, so they could only go down one floor. The door below them opened and they could see somepony with bright curly hair: It was Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie Pie? Is that you?" Rarity inquired. The Pink mare looked up to see the two and excitedly replied, "Yeah! It's me! I'm so happy I found you! I thought I wasn't ever gonna find anypony!"

"So did we," Spike agreed. Rarity ran down and started to run down the stairs as Pinkie went up them. Spike noticed something at Pinkies side: It was a sharp silver kitchen knife in her hand. Spike grabbed Rarity's arm and shouted, "RUN!!"

As Pinkie was able to see them run away, she gave a wide grin and her pupils grew small. "I'm so sorry, but I have to get out of here. I promise the two of you will be missed after I kill you!" Pinkie said sadistically. Spike and Rarity ran into a room to try to find a place to hide, but there was no where to conceal themselves from the insane pink mare. Pinkie came into the room after them and began thrusting her knife at them, barely missing them. Spike noticed a small crack in the wall for them to fit through.

"This way!" Spike shouted as the two ran for their escape. Spike creeped through the hole first and then came Rarity. She was halfway through when Pinkie grabbed her by the arm and took her away from her escape. Pinkie then threw Rarity to the floor, weakening her from getting up.

"Rarity!!"

"Spike. Go now!"

"I'm not gonna let this bitch kill you!" Spike started to make his way back through, when Pinkie slashed at him. He moved back through the other side of the wall.

"Now I want you to see this." Pinkie began, "I want you to see me murder the only mare you ever loved." Pinkie got on top of Rarity and then thrust her blade down, cutting Rarity's beautiful body up into bloody scars. Rarity's screams fueled Pinkie Pie to now stab her, piercing through skin and bone. Rarity's blood was splattering on the floor and on Pinkie's body. Spike had enough and came back through the wall and charged at Pinkie. He slammed her against the wall and underneath a shelf with trophies. One of them fell on her head and she started to feel dazed. a red trail of blood began to trickle down her forehead, and dripping down the top of her lips.

"Spike. Run. Just run!" Rarity cried out in pain. Spike did what he said and he darted through the hole in the wall. Pinkie regaining her balance and consciousness, she ran after him. He ran as fast as he could and saw a pile of ruble barricading his way, so he turned left to find a hole in the floor. He looked back down the hall to she the bloody pink mare, with knife in hand, ready to strike. Spike took a few steps back and jumped over the gap in the floor and made it across. as he landed a piece of wood stuck up when he slightly brought his foot in the floor. Pinkie Pie appeared on the other side and jumped. But she jumped too short. 'SHRIP!' Pinkie couldn't breathe, because the piece of wood had completely gone through her throat. She gagged and chocked, as her blood came spewing and dripping from both her mouth and her neck. She tried to desperately grab the floor with her hands and arms as the rest of her body dangle from falling into the pit. Spike was horrified at this gruesome scene. With one last hack, Pinkie's blood splattered in front of Spike. The mare was motionless as her blood trickled down into the hole, hitting the bottom like the sound of water, dripping and hitting the bottom of the faucet. Spike stepped back in disgust as he heard the sound of hoofsteps making its way to the other side of the gap.

"Oh my God." Rarity said. There she was. Standing there. Scars and stab wounds all over her body.

"Rarity. Why? You used your magic to heal yourself... You're going to die now!" Spike yelled.

"I was dead either way!" She Argued, "I'd rather see you last before I die, rather that bleeding to death by myself."

"Rarity," Spike began to cry.

"Please, Spike. Don't weep for me." The scarred mare said. The booming voice returned:

"Uh-oh! Somepony's broken the rules! And you know what that means!" The sound of chains being dragged followed after the voice left.

"Rarity! I'm coming to get yo-"

"NO!" Rarity interrupted. "If you come back here I'll kill you." The sound of the chain came closer and closer with the sound of heavy hoofsteps. Rarity looked at Spike for one last time and reached out as she was rapped by a rusty, dull chain. Spike reached out as if he could grab her from the other side, but she disappeared into the darkness. The sound of a body was slammed down to the floor. What came next was gruesome: She started to wail in pain as the sounds of ripping could be heard. Then it became shredding and the sounds of her body being crunched. A pool of blood slowly seeped out of the darkness as the sound of beating and crunching became more brutal. Then the noises stopped. Something was thrown out of the dark and landed in the crimson pond of Rarity: A shredded, cut up, bloody arm. Spike stepped back in fright at now that the love of his life died right before him. Now both Pinkie Pie and Rarity were dead. Hoofsteps splashing and walking in the blood slowly faded as the murderer walked away. It was just Spike now. He got down on his knees and grabbed a hold of himself, crying, tears pouring down his face, slowly losing what sanity he had left. He curled up in a ball and slowly cried himself to sleep.

Twilight was walking down a corridor that she felt like she had been walking forever. She eventually came to the end of hall to find that one way was blocked by a pile of bed frames and mattresses, while she could only turn to her left revealing another long hallway. The took a few steps forward when the next thing she knew is that she was upside down. She still had her camcorder in her hand to try to see in the dark. She looked up at her hooves to see that one had been tightly wrapped by a rope. She looked back forward to see an somepony coming towards her: It was Applejack.

"Applejack. Is that you?" Twilight confirmed.

"Yeah. It's me. Looks like ya got stuck in one of mah rope traps," Applejack said. Twilight noticed Applejack was holding something in her hand, but she couldn't quite make out what it was even through her camcorder. All she could see was a long stick, with something at the end of it. Twilight proceeded to ask, "What is that in your hand AJ?"

"Nuthin' you need ta know," Applejack said rather harshly.

"AJ. Can you please let me down? My blood is starting to rush to my head and I might pass out."

"Good"

"What? What do you mean good??" Twilight said rather confused.

"You got the note from the Doctor. I can't trust nopony, even if I wanted to. I can only trust mahself. I'm sorry to do this to ya Twi,"

"Just let me go!" Twilight panicked.

"I will. As soon as you're out cold." Applejack lifted the object up and brought it back. Twilight realized what it was know: A sledgehammer.

"Please. Applejack! Don-" The last thing Twilight felt was a cold piece of iron, blown against the side of her head, before she was knocked out. Twilight dangled there almost lifeless, swining back and forth from the hammer, with blood trickling down the side of her head.

"I'm truly sorry Twi," Applejack loosened the rope and let her drop to the floor. Applejack then left Twilight still on the floor, and walked away from the unconscious Alicorn.

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter. I just feel like this is an appropriate place to stop and write the next one. Also how about that gore?
