Princess Celestia's Punishment ( Chapter 1 out of 1 )
Everybody knows, that before Twilight Sparkle was a princess, she used to send her friendship lessons to Princess Celestia. One time, she thought she was tardy on sending it, and was going to be punished severely. Although, that wasn’t the only time that happened, about a few months later it happened again. Except, this time it was worst.
“ It’s been about a week since I sent my last friendship lesson to Princess Celestia. It’s about time I wrote one again, “ She thought to herself. She had been busy all morning reorganizing her library, and had no time to go out. By the time she was done, it was about noon, and she decided to go out for a walk and visit her friends. She left the library, taking one last look at how she reorganized it, then left.
This time, she promised herself she wouldn’t worry about it, since five other ponies were now going to be writing to Celestia also. But for some reason, she couldn’t help thinking that something bad was going to happen. She forget the thought immediately, and then she saw Fluttershy outside of her house, talking to a squirrel who was refusing to eat his nuts. “ Please eat it, please! “ She said to the squirrel who was still refusing to eat his nuts. Then, she gave him a look with her eyes that made him eat it immediately. When Twilight realized she was done, she walked up to her. “ Hi Fluttershy, I was wondering if you sent any friendship lessons to Celestia this week. I know I promised you guys I wouldn’t worry, but I just can’t help it. “ She said.
“ Oh that’s alright Twilight, we all get worried about things sometimes. And, to answer your question, no I didn’t, sorry. There is four more other ponies, I’m sure one of them had to send something in, “ Fluttershy said trying not to sound worried herself.
“ Oh that’s okay, “ Sighed Twilight. She began to head towards Sugarcube Corner, and hoped that Pinkie Pie was home. As she walked, she kept thinking the same thought over and over again, “ I’m going to be punished, “ She finally reached Sugarcube Corner, and walked in. To her relief, not only Pinkie Pie was there, but also the rest of the ponies. “ You guys, I’m so glad you are all here! Have any of you guys sent something to Princess Celestia? “ She asked.
“ Sorry, no. “ They all answered.
“ Why do you ask? I mean, don’t tell me you’re worried again about Princess Celestia punishing you. “ Rarity said in a teasing way.
“ Well, the truth is I am. I just can’t help thinking that today will be a bad day, and she might punish not only me, but all of us. “ Twilight sighed.
“ Well don’t worry about it sugar cube, I’m pretty sure everything will be alright, “ Replied Apple Jack.
“ You guys are probably right, I’m worrying too much, “ She replied relieving herself a little. All the ponies talked together, sharing laughs. Soon Fluttershy came also, and joined in on the fun. It was now sundown, and five of the ponies walked home, while Pinkie Pie said goodbye. Twilight Sparkle reached her house and her heart dropped right when she remembered about the friendship lesson. The sun was gone now, and she was scared to go to sleep. She walked in circles around her library, for about the next hour, which woke up Spike, who had been sleeping all day. “What are you doing? “ He asked rubbing his eyes. She wanted to say that she was scared about being punished by Princess Celestia, but she knew that spike would just laugh. So she just told him to go back to bed, and sat down. “ What am I going to do? Wait a second, never mind. This is the same thing that I worried about last time, nothing happened. “ She laughed at how stupid she was for thinking she would be punished. Just then, Celestia came flying through her door angrily, she was carrying all of her friends on her back and they were unconscious. “ I can’t believe you! Six ponies can send something in, and nothing gets sent! You guys are lazy, you could have at least made something up. “ Raged Celestia. At first Twilight thought she was dreaming, then she realized she wasn’t and jumped up. She was surprised at Princess Celestia’s behavior. “ I’m sorry! We all are! Please don’t punish us. “ Said Twilight with tears in her eyes.
Celestia laughed manically and said, “ Don’t punish you?!?! Aww, of course not Twilight. Ha, not. I’m tired of you ponies thinking you can do whatever you want! Of course I’m going to punish you, “ Before Twilight could say anything, Celestia knocked her out with one of the books from the library, and then carried all six ponies off. About an hour later, they awoke and it looked as if they were in a dusty basement. They were chained to hard beds. " Where are we? “ Asked Fluttershy
“ I don’t know, but I’m going to get us out of here. “ Exclaimed Rainbow Dash, who tried to get out, “ This is useless, “ She said after about twenty minutes of trying. Then, Celestia entered carrying Princess Cadance who was dead and most of her limbs were cut off. All six ponies looked at her in terror, as Celestia threw the body into a closet. They were speechless, they couldn’t believe this was happening. The pony that always helped them out, was now going to probably murder them in the next hour. Celestia approached Fluttershy. “ You’re such a weakling. I think I’ll kill you first. “ She said and followed it with a laugh. All of a sudden, Celestia levitated an axe with her horn, and cut Fluttershy’s cutie mark out, then skinned her alive, which killed her instantly.“ NO! “ Screamed Rainbow Dash
" Celestia, how could you? " Asked Twilight Sparkle quietly.
" Because, I can do whatever I want. I am a princess, am I not? " She replied. Celestia looked to her side, and saw Rainbow Dash crying. " Stop it, you're annoying me, " She said, then used her axe to kill her the same way she killed Fluttershy. She did the same to Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack. Until, she reached Twilight. Right when Celestia was about to cut her, Twilight stole the axe from her, and cute Celestia's head off without thinking. She then cut herself free and looked sadly around the room. She sighed and fell to the floor crying. " All my friends, they're dead, and it's all because of me! If I hadn't had that problem a few months ago, this wouldn't have happened. " She then came up with an idea, remembering a spell she can use to bring pony's back to life. She needed their hearts, skins, and rest of their limbs and bodies they had left. She gathered all their bodies together, and began to try to use the spell.
All of a sudden, to her surprise, Celestia's head that was cut off, horn started to glow like it did before it used magic.There was a big flash of light, and then Celestia's head was connected to her body. Twilight levitated the axe and put it in to Celestia's Eyes Celestia's eyes were bleeding, but she was still walking towards Twilight and looking at her. Twilight kept on trying to cut her in many different places, even though she was bleeding, she was still walking towards her. Twilight moved back a little. Celestia had wounds all over her body from Twilight's attempts. She took the axe from Twilight and said, " That's the way you do that spell, to yourself. It's an advanced spell, and you are too dumb to learn it. " She then levitated the axe and asked her, " Any last words? "
" Why, why Cadance? What did she do? " She asked. Celestia stopped, and a tears came to her eyes and she answered,
" That's none of your business. " She then skinned Twilight, looked at her dead body, and walked to her room. She took Twilight's skin with her, and made a blanket with it, and put it on her bed. Every night, she sleeps with that blanket. And cries softly at what she has become. She holds her blanket close and sings, " Once upon a deathly time,a mare was skinned alive,
never to come back again, and only for her murderer to thrive. "
