Fluttershy is not the sweet pony she plays herself off to be shes just the perfect actress

Fluttershy is known far and wide for her kind heart but what will they do when they find out it was all one big lie from the start?
The true one pulling at the strings, The will of the hive-mind....The bride of evil, Fluttershy.

'A heart can only take so much sorrow before it sinks into darkness.'

Flight school

Fluttershy,
Fluttershy

Flutter shy can barley fly

The young filly stood upon the starting line, shaking in fear as her classmates mocked her. Today was the Pegasus race, a day that would forever be known as the day of the sonic rainboom but never the day Fluttershy's life both ended and truly began.

Fluttershy took her place with the starting flag in her mouth, Her best friend was racing for her honor That wonderful Rainbow Dash always looking out for her. She waved the flag three times and the race began,the contestants zipping past her so fast it caused her to spin in mid air.
And then...it happened.

Try as she might, Fluttershy was falling down faster and faster through the clouds, her wings unable to move fast enough to stop it. She looked up into the sky, praying that her friend would show up and save her in the nick of time. Rainbow Dash was busy winning the race,the flash of colors covering the sky as Fluttershy fell closer and closer to the ground before...

SPLAT

....

'It didn't have to be this way,

you didn't need to die..'

"D..Dead?" the young filly stuttered out, finding herself all alone in the dark." But Rainbow Dash saved me right?I never hit the ground..right?" She pleaded, her eyes beginning to water as the realization that she was no longer alive began to settle in.

'She never came..'

"No, shes my friend...she was racing for my honor...of course she saved me....I...I'm just asleep in my bed...." Fluttershy sobbed, trying to convince herself more than anyone else that she had not been abandoned. Rainbow Dash saw her fall, Her friend wouldn't just leave her to die so she could finish some race....right?

'She was racing for herself....you never mattered.....'

Fluttershy glared and stomped her hooves down angrily, She refused to accept the truth."NO!! That is a lie!! We are friends we always do everything together!!!" She did not want to hear the truth she already knew.

'She used you Fluttershy, Played you for a fool...
You were never friends, she used you to make her look good by comparison...'

No matter what Fluttershy could say back, deep down she always knew this was the truth. She was just another means for Rainbow Dash to be seen...A person for her to outshine always. Fluttershy began to cry as she lowered her head."Why...Why tell me these things now that I'm...Dead? What good will it do to make me cry?!"

'Make them pay.....

Join me,
Together we will send them to hell...'

And so it went unknown of the death of fairest Fluttershy, The only thing remembered that day was the sonic rainboom and the tale of Rainbow Dash's cutie mark..

In a green field beside the everfree forest, the mangled body of the dearly departed Fluttershy Lied bleeding into the grass. The still bodies eyes suddenly opened to reveal a deep black, oozing black from the sockets as the bones began to snap back into place.

'By the light of day do play pretend,
But by the black of night we'll plan their end.'

Fluttershy stood reborn from the dead with unholy power she could never let known, She slowly walked to a nearby tree where a small white bunny stood waiting for her."Hello there...."

'Hello..'

She heard as a reply."Do you not think its funny that you appear as a snow white innocent Bunny rabbit? The irony of it all...heh, I think I should call you Angel bunny." To this the rabbit gave a very un amused look and began to tap its foot.
'This is the only form that would easily blend into this ridiculous world...come we must prepare..'

Fluttershy lifted the rabbit,placing her lord upon her head with a dark smile." What must we prepare for sir?" The rabbit sighed and brushed the blood from her mane.'You must appear sweet and innocent....a devil in an angels skin, Iv'e already made you a cutie mark...' Fluttershy looked at her flank,spotting the butterflies which only made her chuckle."Butterflies? How is that my talent?" The rabbit rubbed its paws together deviously as the headed into the forest.
'Well it was the best way to hide your gift....ponies will confuse mind control with 'animal understanding' that I'm certain of.'

Fluttershy grinned wide."I have mind control? That is amazing..and to think if I never had died I would have never met you. I thought being bad would be hard but its really easy, Its allot of fun." She giggled and found herself at an old cottage outside of town."Must we live here?" The rabbit nodded as the door opened for them.' We are not living so we must not live with them....here at the edge of the forest is where we shall dwell...'
She walked inside and set the rabbit down carefully upon the table."Sir, How can I get revenge if I can't keep up with anypony?"

A dark chuckled filled the room as the rabbit touched Fluttershys face ever so gently.
'Silly dear....you are the fastest pony..we are everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

To their lives we bring the end
The living world we do condemn.'

Rainbow Dash had just finished the race and was more than ecstatic, she was now the fastest pony in history."OOHH YEEEAAA!!!" She cried out as she performed her victory dance, forgetting all about the reason she began the race to begin with.
"Oh cool I got my cutie mark too!!!! This is the best day EVER!!" She continued to gloat and brag about her speed becoming more and more arrogant by the second. She looked around for what she refereed to as her 'personal cheering section' and could not see the tell tale light pink hair anywhere."Hey has anypony seen Fluttershy around?"

Unknown to Rainbow Dash Fluttershy was getting ready for revenge, She had found a new teacher who had more to offer than anypony ever could and school would never be the same.
