Damaged diamonds

As soon as she opened the door, a pungent odor ambushed her.

The filly gagged, a part of her assumed it was some awful new perfume.

Fancy ponies had weird taste.

The whole boutique was pitch black, the odor being the only presence.

It was eerily quiet, for some reason a part of applebloom was distressed.

"R-rarity?...."

Her voiced echoed the room and bounced off the walls.

As the filly trotted deeper into the house,the odor grew stronger and the air got thicker.

It was even worse when she got near the unicorns room, absolutely unbearable.

Applebloom vomited onto the floor, the stench of vomit was already existent before she added onto it.

Her mind could no longer could come up with any reasonable explanations as to what was happening.

Something is dead.

Appleblooms vision was almost futile.

She trying to calm her unstable mind to remember the layout of raritys home.

She had been there many times before.

Applebloom dared not say a word in fear that there was a killer in the home.

A few tears dropped down her cheeks

Is rarity dead?

Appleblooms legs got weak again, unable to understand what was going on.

She didn't understand how she opened the door.

She didn't understand how she vomited the rest of her stomachs contents.

She didn't understand how she walked inside.

She didn't understand how she found the light switch.

Applebloom expected a dim light to add onto the eerie feeling, but no.

Light showered the room as it always had.

Nopony was there,

or so she thought.

The room was its normal self.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

But that smell.

That god awful smell, it was thick as cream at this point.

Applebloom managed to spot a large object under the covers.

Ab trembled, her mind told her to run and get out.

She agreed, but her hooves did not.

She walked hastily over to the object.

The filly was shaking what would seem violently.

Fear overwhelmed her.

Applebloom clenched her eyes shut and flung the blanket off the object.

She should have never opened her eyes.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The object was rarity.

What was left of her at the least.

Her mouth looked as though it was carved open.

Her lips were torn off, forming a big smile.

Teeth were brutally ripped out, as was the tongue.

Raritys eyes were gouged out.

Her sockets were filled with, now dry, wax.

The mares false eyelashes were removed so the dainty original ones were visible.

The limbs were torn off and the horn appeared to be smashed off.

Raritys chest had been pried open, all organs and ribs were nowhere to be seen.

Instead of these things, her precious diamond replaced them to fill the hollow body.

Each diamond was now a shade of blue and red.

The unicorns face was stained with tears and blood.

On her chest, there was splotches of vomit matted into her coat.

Her mane was surprisingly neatly laid on the pillow.

Her mane seemed to be an outsider compared to the disastrously mangled body that was once rarity.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Appblooms body rattled from the sobbing and screaming.

Her vision started to fail her and she soon went limp.

Applebloom woke up in the hospital, she was relieved of the smell of death.

It now smelled like medical supplies.

Next to her was applejack.

The mares face was close to hers, staring at the filly intently.

Aj's face was a bit pink and wet from tears.

She held the filly's hoof in hers.

It was difficult to tell as to whose hoof was shaking.

Applebloom smiled weakly at her sister.

She was unsure of how she was able to.

Ab's mine was in pieces.

She was experiencing the pure form of distress.

It was shocking, nopony ever murdered any pony else in eons.

Even at that, it was nothing like this.

Before she said a word, her sister had her in a rather tight embrace.

Both of them broke out sobbing for a while.

With each sob they embraced each other tighter.

After a while they finally stopped.

The room was filled with the silence once more.

"Rarity is dead"

Applebloom broke the silence.

Applejack nodded grimly.

"Ah'm aware."

They faced each other

"Th others aren't takin it too well. Ah can't tell ya what's goin on with em, cause they won't leave their house. Raritys neighbors heard ya hollerin and found ya passed out on th floor. Took nerves of steel tah get in there. Police rushed ya over here, ah was afraid y'all was a goner"

A few more tears streamed down Applejacks cheeks

"Ah couldn't live with mahself if ya did.... Th last thing ah said to ya was basically to get lost...."

Applejack placed a kiss on her little sisters hoof

She understood how fragile she was now.

Her poor baby sister.

Applebloom noticed applejack was the only one there.

"Where's th rest of th family and mah friends?"

Applebloom forgot about raritys relations

"Now sugar cube.... Sweetiebelle is raritys sister... Ah heard scoots is with her. Big Macs coverin mah shift at the apple cart and granny's at home."

Applejack smiled at her sister

"Applebloom..."

Applejack was struggling to keep her smile on

"Sweetiebelle is gonna have tah stay at our house for a while..."

Her smile faded

"Until she moves away..."

Applebloom had forgot that rarity was the only reason sweetie was here.

She sobbed quietly in her sisters embrace.

"When's the funeral?"

Applebloom whispered.
