Trapped and Afraid

The barn door was holding back but not for too long, Twilight and her friends had to think of a plan and fast.

"Um Twi unless you have a death wish I suggest you think of a plan before we end up in a full course meal of death," commanded Applejack as she was holding on to the doors.

"I'm thinking," said Twilight slowly going insane.

Until Starlight's laugh could be heard from miles away but no pony knew where they were so Twilight knew it would be useless to call for help, that's when she went into another room of the barn to find an axe stuck against the wall. She pulled it off with her magic and examined the axe closely and noticed blood stains were fresh, in her mind she wanted this nightmare to end but on the other hoof she wanted to kill herself.

Her thought was interrupted with the sound of screaming and crunching noises of bones and what Twilight saw made her almost turn pale. Applejack was cut in half with her intestines dripping all over the walls and floor, eyes landing in Dash's mouth which she spat out then puked all over the hay.

Twilight couldn't take anymore of her friends dying so she tried to kill herself with the axe but Dash and Pinkie stopped her and held Twilight tightly in their arms.

"Twi trust us we want to do the same thing but we can't Glimmer get the best of us," said Pinkie.

Twilight couldn't argue with Pinkie's logic considering that if she did kill herself then that would mean Starlight wins. After they cleaned up Applejack's remains, the three girls returned to Ponyville bruised and bloodied. Dash was too frightened to go to Cloudsdale so she stayed at Twilight's house to stay the night.

After a while of decision making, Dash and Twilight slept in bed together while Pinkie slept on the floor beside Twi's bed. Being unable to sleep Rainbow hugged the purple alicorn princess in order to seek comfort even though she had a mental scar of her friends death including Rarity's explosion and then Applejack having her organs all over the walls, experiencing horrific sights like that leaves scars forever.

"Hey Dashie do you think Glimmer will just let us go that that?" asked Pinkie as she looked at the ceiling.

"I hope so...I don't think I can handle another dead body anymore," said Dash.

As the sun rose Twilight woke up and saw jail bars as if she was convicted of a crime.

"What the hell? Where am I?" asked Twilight.

Stepping out of the shadows, Starlight appeared in front of the bars mocking Twilight. With the sun rising in the east the alicorn princess tried to get out but with no effort. Starlight liked this part of her prisoner. The fear, insanity and just straight up madness clouded Twilight's mind and judgment.

"How does it feel that your whole world is flipped upside down and replaced with insanity and darkness? You made me look like a fool and now your going to die here Twilight Sparkle," said Starlight.

The only response Twilight gave was an insane grin as her mane went frizzy and curly all over then she teleported out of her cell and bucks Starlight in the face then repeatedly smashed her face on the steel floor. Everything Twilight had to face made her this way, nothing but a broken mess and taking her anger on a now dead Starlight Glimmer whom she ate the body and face including the eyes.

Pinkie and Dash walked in on that and they're faces turn as white as milk at the horror they saw, what Starlight Glimmer did to Twilight's psyche. It was horrifying and revolting which caused Rainbow to throw up on the floor.

"The Devil Within," said Twilight who let out an insane scream.

"Twilight..." said Pinkie in a scared tone.

"Don't worry Pinkie I only hurt bad ponies...not good friends like you and Dashie," said Twilight as she wiped the blood of her mouth then pet Pinkie's head.

Whatever Starlight did to Twilight it is not a good thing...to be honest this scares the living hell out of me Dash thought in her mind. Pinkie was still scared of her friend even though now they don't have to worry about a challenge or a life and death situation.

Returning home, Twilight went upstairs and took a shower while listening to heavy metal which was unusual for the purple alicorn princess of friendship. Rainbow tried to figure out what in the world wide of Equestria happened to their friend that caused her to snap and eat her alive then a flash of those cannibal ponies tearing Applejack apart flooded her mind like a tidal wave.

Twilight came downstairs, dry mane and back to normal which was a sigh of relief to both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash even though the image will remain in their minds forever but for now their nightmare was over...for now.
