Author's Note
This is my first story. So sorry for the poor quality. I am currently working on a bigger project that could take a few weeks. So stay tuned for that!
The Bakequel
It was a hot, humid evening in Ponyville. There were lots of clouds as Rainbow Dash hadn't been seen for months and the atmosphere was very tense. Twilight sighed as she looked out her window with longing eyes.
"Three days... three days since we last saw her! Where the hell is she?" Asked Twilight to her friends.
"We have checked everywhere, she's certainly not in Ponyville." Replied Rarity with a confused look on her face.
"Well then where could she be? If she ran away, she could be as far as Manehattan by now!" Exclaimed Applejack
Twilight looked up, she had gotten an image, an image that shocked her to the core.
"What if... s-someone... took her?" Twilight asked almost silently.
"T-that's impossible! why would someone do something that awful?" Replied Rarity.
"A pervert would really like a quiet, defenseless pony like Fluttershy" Whispered Twilight
Silence filled the room, the clock above Twilight's door ticked like an alarm clock on a Monday morning. Until the silence was broken by Applejack.
"We should keep looking. We have to expand our search!"
"And where would we start? Equestria is a huge area! She could be anywhere!" Replied Twilight in an angry tone
"If she was... taken, then they would want to hide somewhere nopony would look" Snaped Applejack
"Where?" Replied Twilight
"The Everfree Forest!"
Everyone gasped at the sound of that awful place. Sure, Twilight goes in there all the time to meet with Zecora, but with the thought of a helpless Fluttershy hidden away in there just gave her the shivers.
"*gulp* Very well. We leave in 10 minutes, get your boots on" Said Twilight.
It seemed colder, as the three ponies stepped outside. It was much more quiet. Everypony would probably be asleep at this time of nigiht. The moon was barley visible as the ponies walked through town. On the way they asked random ponies when they last saw Fluttershy. Unfortunately there were no leads... until they bumped into Mr Cake.
"Oh, hello there Mr. Cake! Say, have you seen Fluttershy? We can't find her anywhere." Asked Applejack
"Hmm... yes, about three days ago. She came by Sugarcube Corner to help Pinkie with something."
"That's great news! What happened after that?" Replied Twilight
"I didn't see much after that. I did hear a large bang in the back that sounded like someone fell, but Pinkie said she dropped something."
"Hmmm... thank you, Mr. Cake. This is... interesting..." Said Twilight
"No problem. Be careful now, the night isn't safe for young mares like yourselves" Replied Mr Cake
"We will!" Said Rarity as they kept traveling through town.
It took some time for Twilight to process what she heard. At this moment in time, she didn't know what to do. There was just too much information for Twilight to handle. She knew she needed a rest.
"Can we s-stop for a second?"
"What's wrong Twi?" Asked Applejack
"I was just thinking about Fluttershy" Replied Twilight
"I'm sure she's fine dear" Rarity said, trying to comfort the young pony
"I know that, but... if the worst has happened. I feel like I couldn't live with it. With the fact that I couldn't use my intelligence to find a lost pony!"
"You're thinking too deeply, Twi!" Exclaimed Applejack
"I agree, you need to be more positive dear. If she is lost, she can talk to the woodland creatures and get them to help her" Said Rarity
"*sigh* I guess you're right..." Whispered Twilight.
It didn't take long for the group to get to the entrance of the forest. It seemed much more dark and sinister at night, the cold filled Twilight's body like a bath filled with ice. By now the entire group were having second thoughts. Luckily courage built up in Twilight as she took a step in.
"Come on girls! We're going in!" Exclaimed Twilight
"Are you sure dear? Maybe we should look somewhere else" Said Rarity
"No! We came this far, we can't turn back now!" Replied Twilight
"Twi, we're only a the end of town" Said Applejack
"S-shut up!"
The group entered the forest. Twilight felt strange as she had done this hundreds of times before. But never with this much fear and with this big of a mindset. They were shouting Fluttershy's name every few seconds to see if they could draw her out. But with no reply. They had almost given up until Rarity spotted something in the distance. The group walked over to it.
"A... cupcake? Why the hell is there a cupcake here?" Asked Twilight
"I-I have no idea!" Replied Rarity
"This has to be a clue!" Exclaimed Twilight "Why would someone drop a cupcake on the grou-"
Twilight was stopped by a faint whistle coming from the left of the group. Shocked, all three ponies turned their heads to see pinkie standing between two trees. But Pinkie looked different. Her hair was straight and an almost creepy smile covered her face. A few blood soaked knives were strewn across the floor. A whimpering Fluttershy lay on the ground next to Pinkie, drenched in a black liquid.
"Pinkie! You found her! Thank goodness!" Exclaimed Rarity.
But Pinkie Pie said nothing. She just smiled, which then turned into a demonic laughter. Pinkie reached into her bag and pulled out a match. She started chuckling as she lit it. Fluttershy finally gained the strength to look at the shocked ponies. She said her final word...
"R-run..."
Pinkie chucked the match onto the yellow pony, setting her ablaze. The terrified Twilight dropped the cupcake on the floor. The contents of the cupcake were the remains of a ponies liver. With faint scraps of... Rainbow Dash's cutie mark... The ponies could barley move as Pinkie ran at them with a scalpel.
All was silent in the forest...
