A Sister's Jealousy

One day after Applejack's death

"Rarity, I'm a little bit scared. What if that pony that killed Applejack won't be found?" said a small white filly with green eyes.

"Darling, it's going to be okay. The police ponies are going to find whoever did it. That bad pony won't hurt anyone ever again." said a larger marshmallow colored filly with curled purple hair and blue eyes. "Now, it's time for us to go to bed sweetie." She smiled down at the little filly. The little filly looked up at Rarity with beaming eyes.

"But I'm scared to go to sleep. Not after what happened..." The little filly said to Rarity.

"Don't worry Sweetie Belle. I'm sure that everything will be okay." Rarity smiles down at Sweetie and pats her head. "I'm sure that everything will be fine in the morning."

"Are you sure Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked in worry.

"I'm sure Sweetie." Rarity said, patting Sweetie Belle on the head. "Now it's time for you to rest, dear"

After Rarity tucked her little sister into bed, Rarity looked out of the balcony window in fear of the murderer coming for her. She even walked out side and even checked around her house for anything suspicious. After a while, she ended her search and walked back into the Boutique, locking the door. She took some deep breaths and went into her room, locking the door. "It's going to be okay Rarity. Nothing's going to happen to you nor Sweetie. Just go to bed and everything will be alright." After that, she found her face mask and eventually went to sleep.

A pony climbed out from under her bed. She looked around the room for a while and found a nice purple fabric of clothing that was big enough to cover Rarity's face. She then grabbed a bunch of needles with enough thread for the pony's work. The pony then folded the cloth into a little ball and shoved it into Rarity's mouth, covering it entirely. The marshmallow pony then levitated her face mask off of her eyes in panic, screaming into the cloth as she tried to force the unknown pony off of her body. The pony then punched her in the face and Rarity fell unconscious from the blow. After a few minutes, the pony then unfolded the cloth, placing it flat on Rarity's face. The pony then grabbed the needles and started to sew the needles and threads into her face. Eventually, the pony finished her work, sneaking out of the house without having anypony hearing them.

The alarm clock blares it usual beeping sound. Sweetie Belle hits the button to make it stop, and lifts her head off the pillow. She gets dressed for her day at school and walks down to the kitchen. "Huh... that's weird. Rarity's usually up making breakfast." She says. "What's going on? Did I over sleep? No... Rarity would have woken me up on time. She knows how perfect I have to be. But... she's not here..." She then ran out of the kitchen and straight to her sister's room. "Rarity?! Rarity!" She knocks on the door so that Rarity doesn't yell at her for knocking on the door too hard.

Nothing. She tried again.

Again, nothing.

She turned around on her forehooves and whispered to herself, "I'm sorry Rarity." and kicked the door open. She turned around and screamed in fear.

Hours later

"Alright Sweetie Belle. Why don't you just tell us what you saw from the beginning?" said one of the police ponies.

"I-I saw a-a big piece of purple cloth on her face... like her mane color, and it was stitched on her face with a lot of red thread... and on where the stitches came out I could see some of the blood dried on the spots... It was so scary and horrifying..."

"It's alright Sweetie Belle. We understand." The police pony gets up and talks to one of the ponies working on the case. "Do you think it's the same pony from... you know?"

"Yeah... it has to be. It's difficult to find out who this pony is. It could be anyone. What could this be? Jealousy? Just pure anger at someone? Who knows?" said the man working on forensics.

"We'll find out. In the meantime, look for anything out of place."

"Yes sir."
