Nightmare at the Gala!

The arrow slams Applejack's body against the nearest corner of the wall, making her unable to release herself. Ponies start to back away and scream in horror. Applejack tries to find the broken window, but the arrow is blurring her vision. She finds the broken window, just above the broken window. She sees a pony, cloaked in black, it's the murderer. "Twilight! Twilight! It's the murderer! The murderer is real!" yells Applejack. Twilight looks up and finds the murderer, then looks back down at everypony trying to back away from Applejack. "Everypony calm down and be quiet!" yells Twilight. Everypony is still panicking as the murderer pulls out a long blade. "Everypony, CALM DOWN AND BE QUIET... NOW!" screams Twilight. The whole castle instantly goes silent. "All of you ponies must be completely clueless of what's going on!" Twilight looks up at the murderer again, the murderer raises the blade higher. Twilight starts to get a bit nervous. "None of you find it odd that death after death has occurred these past 18 days? Open your eyes, there is a murderer afoot, and who doubted me? Not only my best friends... but your beloved Princess Celestia!

Everypony gasps and turns to Princess Celestia. Celestia looks around the room and feels guilty. "How was I supposed to believe something that came up so abruptly." "Abruptly?" asks Twilight. "I warned you more than once and you denied it everytime!" "Well, you didn't convince me, but another pony did." says Celestia. "WHAT? Somepony else is investigating this mystery?!" asks Twilight angry. Celestia looks at Fluttershy, who stealthily shakes her head side to side, telling her not to speak of anything else. "I spent all this time to find out that another pony has been doing to same thing as me?!" asks Twilight, angrily. "Now poor Applejack is on the verge of death with the murderer about to pull another move. "Don't worry about me, Twilight, ah'll be fine." says Applejack, fighting through the pain. "No! I will not let you die!" yells Twilight.

The murderer, still on top of the window, realizes that ponies are aware are the actions that went on, and finds out that the more ponies who believe it, the greater the chances of getting hunted down. The murderer lets out a small, high pitched shriek and starts to panick. The murderer throws the blade directly towards Applejack. Rainbow Dash notices the blade. "Everypony DUCK!" she screams. "Oh no you don't" says Twilight as she dives in front of the blade, sacrificing herself. The sharp blade makes a clean slice through Twilight's hoof and goes right into Applejack's neck, decapitating her. "APPLEJACK!" screams Twilight, clutching her amputated hoof in pain. Now, Twilight is MAD. "I cannot take one more minute of this nonsense! Did you all see what just happened here?! Who's feeling stupid now?! You ALL thought i was some freak show huh? A little woozy in the head? Just another pony who lost their mind? Well you're ALL WRONG! You should all know not to doubt Twilight Sparkle, but what did you do?!" There is silence. "Exactly!" Twilight limps over to Applejack's bloody neck and rips the bloody blade out from it, she then rips the arrow out of Applejack's eye and limps her way to the center of the castle, where a circle forms around her. "Take a good look at these weapons, if these were to kill someone very close to you, a family member... or even your best friend, how would you feel? How would you react to that? When I mean 'someone', I mean a murderer, and THERE YOU HAVE IT PONIES! There's one sitting above us at this very moment!" Some ponies start to look guilty. "Do you realize what's been leading to this very night? It all started with Applebloom's death, when an arrow went in HER eye! Fluttershy, you were there that day, tell us what happened." She waits for a response, even turns around a few times. "Fluttershy?"

"I'm right here..." says Fluttershy, slowing trotting to the front of the circle surrounding Twilight. Celestia is still at the top of the staircase, overlooking the circle. "Fluttershy," Twilight proceeds. "Tell everypony what exactly happened the day Applebloom died." "Oh...o-..okay." Fluttershy slowly reaches the middle of the circle, with everypony watching her every move. "Well, Applebloom and I were just fine. We each had our own tress to pick apples from, Applejack was at the farm, unloading her batch of apples." Twilight slightly turns her head to see Applejack's body. "Go on." "I was accompanied by some of my rabbits. They were there to carry the apples on the ground to our buckets. Now, Appleblooms main goal was to perfectly buck an appletree, and when she accomplished that, she let out the most joyous scream I've ever heard. Applejack thought something horrible happened, she arrived where we were about to pass out. Applebloom screamed so happily because she got her cutie mark. Both Applejack and I were both so excited for her, but the murderer just had to cut her moment too short. We heard a sharp piercing sound and Applejack ordered us to duck our heads. It's almost like she knew it was an arrow, which questions me. Before we knew it, the arrow pierced Applebloom's right eye."

Twilight makes a confused grin on her face, "Right eye..." she whispers. She limps over to Applejack's head, rolls it over to the center of the circle, and starts examining it. A pony in the back begins to vomit. Twilight limps around the circle with the arrow in her hand. "This arrow also hit Applejack's right eye, and according to the blood stains on this arrow, most of these have already been there, so this is the same arrow that was used to kill Applebloom! Pure evidence everypony, you all heard the story straight from Fluttershy, who was THERE at the crime!" In no turn of events, everypony still gives Twilight the same look. "You CANNOT be serious!! You are all difficult! You all don't know this mystery like I do! I'M THE SMART PONY!" she accidently stomps the ground with her amputated hoof and starts yelling in agony. "I'm gonna do something that I should've done weeks ago!" She limps to the middle of the staircase, uses her magic to raise the sharp blade high into the air, above her head. "You will ALL regret this! Good Riddance." Twilight releases her magic as the blade falls and stabs through her head.
