In a dark gloomy night in Ponyville, the sounds of the interrogating room door opened. Two Ponyville Police Department officer walked into the room along with the latest massacre victim, Trixie Lulamoon. One of the officers sat on the chair.

"Take a seat, ma'am." said Officer Storm, the senior pegasus police officer. Trixie grabbed her chair and sat on it. Her both physical and psychological scars were still deep-seated inside her mind.

"So, what happened last night?" asked Detective Peridot as Trixie began to slightly sobbed about her experience. After few seconds passed, she calmed down her nerves and started to answering the officers' question.

"Last night, I was..." said Trixie in a light tone of her sound, just before she began to talk about what was happening.

FLASHBACK

In the dark and quiet night, Trixie went back to her home after her performance. When she walked to the front door, she realized that the door's lock had been picked open by someone. She was worried after she knew that someone might have gotten into her house stole her valuables already. She ran into her house and turned on the lights, all of her stuffs are in place.

"Well, that's-" just before she was able to finished her sentence. She saw the faint shadow running within the abyss in the unlit part of her house, immediately had a chill running up her spine, the magician calmed herself and shouted.

"TRIXIE DOESN'T WANT THE INTRUDER TO BE INSIDE HER OWN HOUSE!" she shouted loudly

In response the shadow rushed out of the darkness, revealing itself to be the pony figure wearing a pig mask and a crimson red robe, completely concealed its identity. Trixie quickly used her magic to telekinetically knocked the figure over, pinning it to the floor. Suddenly another "intruder" jumped out of the cabinet and proceeded to caught her in the arm lock, the magician struggled to get out, but to no avail. Afterward, the another figure gets up and forcefully jabbed a syringe into her neck, knocking her into complete unconsciousness.

Afterwards, the magician woke up in the living room inside her house and also strapped to the armchair. Once Trixie moved her tongue, she felt a metallic contraption inside her mouth, covering all of the mare's upper and lower teeth. She also felt a part of the mechanism sticking out of her mouth, between her lips. The device's curve part which is outside her mouth were restraining her lips, preventing her from speaking. As Trixie realized this she began to trying to shout for help, few seconds passed, the TV in front of her turned on, playing the video. The figure in the video appeared to looked like some sort of ventriloquist dummy, it had a body resembling a colt, wearing a tuxedo with red bow tie, had a short black messy mane, pale white coat and red rosy painting on its cheek. The device turned around, as if it was turning around to face Trixie. Its cold crimson red eyes stared directly into her soul, just before it began to talk in a heavily distorted, raspy and masculine voice.

"Hello, Trixie. I want to play a game. For years, you've been boasting yourself under the name of "The Great and Powerful Trixie".
The words you've used to boasted yourself are mostly the fake ones. You are a liar. Even you've learned your lesson from Twilight Sparkle....you are still doing it. That means you truly didn't learned your lesson, you are pathetic. Now...it's time for you to pay the price. After 100 seconds, the device inside your mouth will drives its spikes through your tongue, then to your neck, killing you from the inside. To prevent this, there is a key inside a syringe-filled sink in the bathroom. The key can be used to unlock the device. If you try to speak or move your mouth, the censor will detects it and the spikes will be slowly extended, killing you even sooner. The choice is yours, live or die, Trixie. Make your choice."

Suddenly, the tape ended and the restraints on the armchair are opened, freed her. As Trixie got up she said "This should be easy, as Trixie will use her spell to search the key!" then she started to use her magic, but for some reason, the magic glow faded off very quickly. She tried again, but now her horn didn't emit magic glow at all, leaving her not significantly different from earth ponies. Leaving her momentarily shocked.

"97...96...95"

As the timer was counting down, the magician ran to the bathroom, she opened the door and saw that the sink was full of syringes, just like what the puppet just said. She briefly freezed in fear, then proceeded to drove her hand into the sink, some of them pricked her hand in the process.

"78...77...76"

She searched for the key, and accidentally let out few muffled screams in the process. The sound censor which is taped to the mechanism detected the sound, slowly extending the spikes, now they were about to touch her tongue. After that, she touched something that feels different than the syringes, she pulled her hand out, with many bleeding tiny holes on her hand and few syringes jabbed to her hand too.

"45...44...43"

"Come on....come on" Trixie thought. Trixie tried hard not to panic, move her mouth, or say anything. She began to search for the lock of the device by rapidly touching different parts of her head for it. Finally, she was able to located the lock which was located at the back of her neck. She unlocked the device, she tried to pull it out. Soon, she realized that "if she wanted to remove the device, she must forcefully ripped out her mouth".

"24..23...22"

With no time left, Trixie grabbed the front part of the device, which was located between her lips. She forcefully slowly ripping it out of her mouth. Because of the movement of her lips and muffled screams, this caused the spikes to extended rapidly and to stabbed her in the tongue.

"12...11...10"

Trixie almost removed the contraption completely out of her mouth, she made a final strong pull, causing her to successfully removed the device out of her mouth. The timer, then, counted down to 0, the device's spike then fully extended to its maximum length at high speed. She screamed loudly as her tongue continued to bleed, she taught herself from the recent experience not to lie for profits again. No matter how big the profit gained from the lie is. She then walked to the dining room to find a napkin to hold her bleeding tongue. Afterward, she heard the police sirens, one of the officer slowly opened the door, aiming his pistol around and saw Trixie. He ran up to her.

"What happened here, miss? We've called here from the screaming coming from this house." asked the officer, only to be unanswered from her, then he noticed some blood dripping out of her mouth. "She might was in the trouble!" he thought. The officer turned around and shouted. "Storm, you go investigate this what happened here! Peridot, call the paramedic! Now!"

FLASHBACK ENDED

"Yes, and that's all Trixie can remember" said Trixie.

"Alright, lady. You can now leave, we really appreciate your time here." said Peridot. Trixie got up and leave the room. Officer Storm sighed "This is ridiculous." said Storm "How are we going to arrest this motherbucker."

"Well, what about the clues? Do they leave anything behind?" asked Detective Peridot.

"The clues? We don't know what kind of pony it is. Plus in every crime scenes, we didn't find any fingerprints, feather from pegasui wings nor magic traces that will left behind when unicorn or alicorn used their magic to interact with the object." replied the pegasus officer.

"And the one who is able to build those traps must be intelligent enough. This pony's knowledge is beyond the Flim and Flam brothers." said the pegasus detective.

"You're right." replied Storm just before an unicorn officer rushed into the room.

"Storm! Dot! We received a call from 34 Equine District!" said the officer.

"That's Rainbow Dash's residence! Get the officers ready! Move it!" said Officer Storm as the pegasi and an unicorn rushed out of the room.

Author's Note

Hint#1:Both of them have wings.
So, coincidentally, I realized that this scene is very similar to Amanda's interrogation scene from Saw. Also, if I have anything wrong with something like grammar, words or something, please notify me. So I can fix it for the chapters in the future.
