//-------------------------------------------------------// Dark Turn -by Smoothmelody- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Note //-------------------------------------------------------// The Note THE NOTE It was another sunny day in Ponyville. and Fluttershy was on her way to the library also known as her closest friend twilight sparkles home, and where twilight planned for them to meet up for tea and to catch up on the latest gossip, books, or whatever they felt like talking about. just last week Fluttershy finally gained enough confidence to confess her love to twilight, which was a very big deal for her.well not really confess, more like it slipped when she was deep in one of her romantic fantasies and blurted it out, but twilight took the news a lot better than Fluttershy had thought. of course twilight didn't jump around like pinkie pie does when a catchy tune is stuck in her head. but she was very happy with fluttershy's newest confession. except for one small instance, Fluttershy didn't say anything about it in fact she noticed it long after their private celebration. but she did notice a certain cold and evil feeling coming from twilight like she was almost afraid of Fluttershy avoiding eye contact which was a problem fluttershy herself has been dealing with. plus the lavender mare seemed like she was kinda rushing to say goodbye. but that didn't matter to Fluttershy cause twilight said she loves her too. and that to Fluttershy is a whole new enchanting feeling that she wished had come sooner. although they aren't dating yet only because they are great friends and neither of them want to do anything to ruin that or that might change things to much. not to mention Twilights parents recently going through a diverse. for many small reasons that twilight was tired of hearing her mother complain about. and now having royal and important duties. Fluttershy couldn't just let everything hit Twilight all at once.but Twilight said she is totally fine with all these big changes in her life and isn't worried about it, but Fluttershy still has her doubts about her lovers stress levels. the walk to Twilights house seemed a bit longer then usual manly because Fluttershy couldn't control her day dreams and fantasies about the purple mare. which Fluttershy was very strict on keeping her thoughts age appropriate and as far away from the very detailed and a little disturbing stories rainbow dash told her about nights she had spent with her idol Daring Do. and filled her mind with romantic evenings and cuddling, every girls dream she assumed. she sighed to herself, breaking her out of her wonderful daydream and into a much sadder reality. she then noticed she was standing a few feet from Twilights house. Fluttershy had fantastic manors and knew never to interrupt somepony while their busy. so before she knocked on the door she looked in the window. "huh? odd there isn't a single light on in there." Fluttershy just stood their staring through the window trying to see what was inside, it seemed like not even Celestia's sun could even make a dent in that kind of dark. "well she wouldn't be reading in darkness, and she couldn't still be sleeping its almost lunch time, unless she is sick and trying to get some bed rest. but if she was sick she would have cancelled or sent spike to tell me she wasn't feeling well." she let her curiosity get the better of her and she knocked on the door and called for twilight. (which was like a small whisper). no answer so she knocked again this time however with a bit more force which to Fluttershy was nothing more than a slight tap. and this time the door opened slightly. she noticed the door hadn't been closed or locked by its previous user which was very common in their small town, but twilight wasn't quiet used to a small town with very little crime so this was very odd. Fluttershy then opened the door as wide as it could go so she could let the light of the day brighten up the dark house at least enough for the main room to be slightly visible. all that could be seen inside the house was a long scroll on top of reading desk the corner of the room. "twilight are you home the door was opened so I thought I would just come in, I hope your not upset with me, oh please don't be upset with me!" she yelled out but no answer. "twilight are you home! we agreed to meet up here, well at least angel said it was today. you know just how forgetful i can be!" she quietly giggled to herself remembering how many meetings and important dates she has been late for because of her lack of focus. the small giggle only lasted a few seconds and even then it made the echoing silence that much more awkward. after a minute of waiting Fluttershy began to grow impatient. "oh! the scroll it might tell me why she isn't home" Fluttershy said to herself. Fluttershy put down her saddlebag which was starting to get heavy even though it was only filled with two books she was returning and her umbrella just in case rainbow decided to prank her with a rain cloud. even though rainbow had never pranked her before she heard stories and would be prepared. after setting her saddlebag down she trotted over and grabbed a match from the drawer of the desk which was stocked with everything anypony could ever need for late night studying. she grabbed the match with her teeth and lit it with her hoof after lighting the candle on the table were the scroll was. she began to read it at first to her self but after realizing what she had just read she yelled it out loud. "Twilight Sparkles Suicide Note!" //-------------------------------------------------------// The Madness //-------------------------------------------------------// The Madness "Twilight Sparkles Suicide Note" the words left her lips like a wave crashes into a rocky shore. all she could do was stare at the four words in front of her. hating her eyes and mouth for ever reading such an awful title and wishing her mind would never even think that her lover could be gone. but like a sonic rainboom it hit her and she screamed calling for her lover,  hoping she wasn't to late.she threw the note back on the desk and began her search. she began to run through each room in the house at speeds that could put even Twilights teleport magic to shame. each room proving to be to dark for any sign of life. (or past life in her case) after ten minutes of looking and re-looking it proved that she was alone. even Owlicious and Spike seemed to be missing as well. and with every nightmarish thought Fluttershy had through her searching, led her to create pools of tears wherever she went. she wasnt thinking clearly the only objective she had was find her love before its to late. Fluttershy's need to help overpowerd her thoughts to get help which wasn't common for Fluttershy. with no luck on finding her love she knew what she had to do, even though she didn't want to even believe it existed. the note was the only thing that could help her find her beloved friend. she grabbed the note while trying hard not to get to many tears on it, she began reading the note. Twilight Sparkles Suicide Note oh Celestia why is this happening to me did i allow this to happen maybe i should have seen this coming no how could i have foreseen this kind of ending. ok ok ok let me begin by saying that I am not insane, however my other half is. well i'm not completely sane but i'm still writing this and can still sort of think clearly but i... dammit! how do you explain madness to somepony when you yourself do not quiet understand it. alright how about i start over. buck! i'm out of letters. maybe sending spike and owlicious to my fathers house for the week wasn't such a good idea. alright i will just continue using this one. and try to began again. sorry for the inconvenience. Fluttershy noticed a small attempt to cross out the paragraph and couldnt help but give a slight grin to her lovers obvious stressing out even on paper. but the grin was shortlived after realizing her Twilight was still missing. and she continued reading the note. hello if you are reading this i should be dead and safe from anymore torcher. now i'm not sure what caused this madness or even what form of madness this is but i assure you i cannot control it. but this demon does control me and i can't fight it anymore at first it only came at night while i laid in bed, and i assumed it was just due to my pure exhaustion or my inability to think clearly when i'm tired. but over time it started showing up in the morning then the afternoon. now i only get control for minuets every few hours. Which i have managed to hide it from other ponies physically but my mental state is quickly weakening. when it takes control i can only sit and watch whatever terrible thought it forces me to endure. and all this demon wants is to watch my life crumble right in front of me and to destroy my mind while crushing my spirit. which means it only targeted the ones i love especially my friends. oh my friends the greatest lesson, feeling, or power i have ever experienced. but to the demon they are just pawns for my destruction. each one has been a target in its eyes on separate occasions. I only fear what may happen if i let it gain complete control in front of one of them or all of them. and with it changing its target daily with no time to plan or attack and with my mental powers stopping it. i felt certain that nopony would get hurt. until it happened. I couldn't stop it, I couldn't have predicted it, and now I can not hide my feelings from it anymore. she loves me and i love her. my closest friend Fluttershy told me she loved me and i couldn't hold the demon back. it was almost more excited then i was. it had found the perfect target. my one and only love. for days or what seemed like years, my mind was gone and in some cases i could not sleep without imagining slowly murdering my sweet Fluttershy. it toke what was left of my sanity and reformed it to enjoy not physical but only mental pain. then it started giving me these little... lets call them tickles, that would send jolts of pure ecstasy through my body. but only when i thought of killing my friends especially Fluttershy. it also tought me just how weak the mind truly is, i mean just one opposing thought or image can occupy your whole day.but if you simply lie to your mind that right is wrong and wrong is right or what is horrifying is now pleasurable even hunger and thirst were nothing but distractions. after that i almost welcomed the demon. but i also knew if it got what it wanted i would most likely be executed or locked up for the remainder of my demented life. and it didn't like that, it needed more than a long game of cat and mouse between me and the law. it needed the perfect timing and it is only growing impatient. I would like my very last words to be truthful even though i hate to admit it. but in my weak mental state i started to enjoy the fantasies and ideas it had. and now my only thoughts are of killing ponies in the most gruesome ways. i feel as though i am caught in the middle of a battle between the rest of my minds sanity and this demon. and i cant let this demon win but i can't fight anymore. and suicide is my only option left. however i have sadly become slave to these indescribable feelings of bliss i get every time i think of killing one of them. i just hope the demon doesn't gain control while i write this. and if it does I pray for Fluttershy's safety and the safety of anypony who has so foolishly grown to love me. and if you are reading this please make sure im dead and if I am not... then run as far away as possible before it or I find you! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Fear //-------------------------------------------------------// The Fear "SLAM!!!" "CLICK!!" Fluttershy looked up from the sudden echoing sounds that caused the candle beside her to go out. she turned around to be greeted with only darkness which meant the door had somehow shut and lock had made its signature click sound. which told her two things, one she was not alone and two she was trapped. "um. Twilight is that you?" "..." "come on Twilight you know I hate pranks." "Twilight seriously I don't like this joke, now please open the door and turn some lights on so we can forget this ever happened." Fluttershy was scared but knew Twilight wouldn't hurt her or anypony for that matter. but in the back of her mind those horrifying instructions kept echoing into her mind. "Twilight?!" "..." fear was the only feeling she could feel but she knew if she tried to run she would only trip on something or get lost in the darkness, or even worse bump into whatever or whoever shut the door. now silence was Fluttershy's only weapon and thought if she stayed completely quiet she would be practically invisible in the dark and silence of the room. then she noticed something. a noise that had been echoing in the background ever since she arrived. "drip,drip,drip" she looked around for the source of the liquid sound effects. but could still only see darkness. she could only listen to the noise while her eyes adjusted to the darkness she could tell the noise wasn't moving but she couldn't tell where and what was making the unknown noise. beginning to hate this painfully long silence the only sounds where the drips and her very uneasy breathing. for a very quick second she even thought the wind could have shut the door. but she very quickly gave up that idea so she wouldn't let her guard down. after three terrifying minutes her eyes finale adjusted. and she was staring at a pair of eyes with little to no pupils and almost red from how bloodshot they looked while tears flowed from them. and a huge grin that split her face in two. a monster that could only be Fluttershy's true love Twilight Sparkle. "EEEEYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" Fluttershy jumped straight into the air and started blindly flying and hit a bookshelf face first causing her eyes to loose any progress they had on lighting up the room. "OUCH!!!" "Twilight! oh my goodness are you scared me please don't do that." "now can you please light your horn so we can see." she laid on her stomach rubbing her head from its recent impact with two very large books and waited for the purple glow her friend was asked to make. but nothing happened only a dreaded silence filled the room. but this one was different the drips where gone.  then she remembered the horrifying way her love looked and the tears flowing from her almost vacant eyes and the notes warnings. Just then Fluttershy realized her what kind of situation she was in. "Twilight please let me help you." suddenly a light appeared behind her she recognized it immediately as Twilight's purple magic. and turned around just in time to see the biggest book in all of ponyville flying towards her head at an unbelievable speed. "Goodnight my sweet little angel." BAM!! CRACK!!!
