Chapter 17D

Twilight couldn’t waste any time, she needed to go after Fluttershy. Her friend’s life was at risk and she wasn’t going to lose her last friend.

She did what Fluttershy had done and stood on top of the hole. Touching it at first it seemed solid, but as time went by she slowly started to sink in; the strange surface was now allowing her pass in some way. She closed her eyes when it reached her neck and held her breath. Soon she felt a solid ground touching her hooves.

“So you found me, huh?” a male voice called.

Twilight rubbed a hoof against her eyes and said: “Walter?”

“Indeed… so have you enjoyed my creation?”

“If you mean this twisted world and all the pain that you brought to me, the answer is a no!” Twilight roared.

“Hahaha, you don’t even understand your mistake dear Twilight Sparkle… You…”

“It doesn’t matter what you think! Do you think that you can revive your mother? You can’t do this; you are already dead, DEAD! You’re insane! How could you think that a library is your mother?!”

“She is there….I know it…”

“This doesn’t matter… where is Fluttershy!?”

By now Twilight could see the room better, it was a cylindrical room similar to the place where she had found Applejack but it had something in the middle emitting a strange noise. Twilight could see Walter somewhat next to her; she backed a few hoofsteps and asked again: “Where is Fluttershy?”

“I think that you need to be quick if you want to see her alive…” He said pointing a hoof to Twilight’s right side. She turned and then realized where the strange noises were coming from. Fluttershy was tied to a metal slab with a big rotating saw at the other end coming closer to Fluttershy slowly and aiming at her belly horizontally.

“Fluttershy!”

The lavender mare tried to find away to reach to her friend’s aid but it was impossible to reach by hoof and her magic wasn’t working on the knot that tied to her friend.

“Twilight… please… help me…” Fluttershy said between her sobs of despair.

“What are you planning Walter?”

“A better question would be... ‘How do you expect to save your friend now?’” he said mockingly.

“I WILL KILL YOU!” Twilight started galloping towards Walter.

“No you won’t…” he removed a dagger from his overcoat with his mouth and threw at Twilight, she would have done a teleportation spell but it was too fast… and too late for her… the dagger pierced her right shoulder as she fell to the ground.

“How have you expected to kill me Twilight Sparkle? I thought that Joseph would be a threat to me but he wasn’t at all. He had a weak body but a strong soul, somehow he found a way to maintain his sanity in this world… of course your friends were much easier…”

“You… why are you doing all this?”

“Haha of course I couldn’t defeat you when you were sane… yes it was all planed…you watching your friends death… some mistakes had happened but hey, everything went better than expected. You let your rage take over you… and now…” he took hold of Twilight’s head with one of his hooves and made her face Fluttershy with tears in her eyes: “You’ll watch the death of your last friend…”

“You… are a devil…” Twilight said between her gritting teeth.

She was looking directly into Fluttershy’s eyes; she could see raw fear in her friend’s eyes, the fear of death.

The saw was a mere inch of distance from the yellow mare as Twilight shut her eyes and screamed: “FLUUUUTTEEEERSHYYYYYYY!”

Only the deafening sound of Fluttershy’s screams filled the room. After mere seconds, the sound of the saw cutting Fluttershy’s flesh took over until it stopped when it hit the metal slab.

Walter left Twilight’s head fall to the floor; the lavender unicorn didn’t even notice the pain. She was screaming the yellow mare’s name repeatedly with all of her might making her throat ache intensively.

After a moment she couldn’t contain her tears and curled up in the floor into a fetal position, the knife in her shoulder was no longer hurtful to her, nothing else seems to matter at the moment. Her last reason to keep fighting to be free from this nightmare had been killed, her last hope… gone.

“Mother! Where are you?! Let me in!” somepony called from nowhere.

“Don’t worry little Walter, soon our mother will be here!”

Twilight’s head began to ache like it never did before, her eyes seemed like they would shoot out from their orbits. The unicorn gritted its teeth and yelled in pain.

“So… it’s over…” she managed to mumble.

“Indeed… you’re the last one… Twilight Sparkle…” the stallion came closer to the agonizing mare and continued: “But don’t worry, I will make sure that you die fast!” he said stabbing her with another dagger but this time directly in her heart, the mare yelped… but her breathing stood calm despite the pain that she was feeling.

“It doesn’t matter anymore… I had failed…” she said with a serene expression.

The last thing that Twilight heard was Walter’s soft but devilish laugh, then silence and darkness…

The library’s door burst open… the police entered quickly, examining the area as a medic team entered as well.

“The area is clear…” one of the police officers said.

“Look at this place, it’s a mess… Let’s head upstairs, you two come with me!” another one said.

They went upstairs to find a messy room with books scattered all over the place and a lavender pony lying in bed.

“Hey Miss Sparkle are you…” the stallion stopped mid-sentence by what he saw. The lavender mare was curled in a fetal position with a knife pierced in her heart and the inscribing “21/21” on her forehead.

“Oh… my…” he said dumbfounded.

“Mom… I am finally with you.” the little colt said.

He was on a couch at the living room, hugging a pillow with a lighthearted smile in his face.

“I finally found you… I am with you now… don’t worry…”

THE END
