A light yellow aroua gently set a piece of paper down at the foot of the large bed, a sigh escaped the large white alicorn as she layed her head against her hooves on the plush mattress in her room. Looking over a few more slips of paper she carefully examined the photo of the light yellow mare her long pink mane expressing her teal eyes, filling them with innocence.
"I just don't get it" Celestia murrmmered lowering her head, stacking all the papers and setting them in her nearby desk. Her wings dropped to her sides as she looked out the balcony window, seeing her sisters stars giving their final gleams as the sun rose. Celestia was sometimes in such a state of tiredness that either Luna or poor Twilight had to take on her role as raising the sun, though Twilight wasn't as strong as she or Luna she could get the job done in at least 10 to 15 minutes.
Slipping of the white, orange, and yellow covers walking to the closed balcony doors. Gently pushing it open with her hoof she walked over to the edge. Spreading her large feathered wings and took off.
Her thoughts drifted as the sun coated the land in its lovely colors of green, blue, brown, white and so may others. Thinking back to her student as she took a bit higher gliding along the clouds.
Twilight used to be a happy mare when she moved to ponyville, just another unicorn there, a normal pony with a full life ahead of her. She made the best of friends their and helped her destiny expand more and more, until one day she became the very princess of friendship. She only changed a tiny bit, growing a bit nervous around others due to how they acted around her with her new crown, then she gained a kingdom of her own.
That's when things got bad
Twilight began to get paranoid with her friends running left and right solving their own friendship problems leaving her alone all day long with Spike. She may have made amends with her old Canterlot friends,but that was about it. She began to be more impatient and before long Spike vanished.
Ponies searched and searched and Twilight panicked only to find nothing. Leaving a broken hearted mare in the castle alone all day was not a good thing.
Soon Fluttershy disappeared
The Pinkie
Then Rainbow
Then Applejack
The Rarity
Twilight then completely shut everyone out,when she would leave her castle she would always where a black cloak over her body with the hood pulled over her head,when she would take the hood down there was a white bandage wrapped around her head covering her right eye.
Lyra, Moon Dancer, Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Lemon Hearts all grew even worried and chose to go see her. About a week after they arrived to ponyville though, they vanished.
Celestia landed on the ground with a small *Thump*, trotting along the dirt floor she saw a little bit of movement through windows of homes in the early morning. Following the dirt path the white alicorn soon came across the tall Crystal castle , shining as the sun rise higher into the sky casting a soft yellow glow on the silent town.
As she walked the stairs she heard her hoofsteps over all the silence, making it to the door she gave a nervous knock.
At least a few minutes passed before Celestia raised her hood to knock again only to have to door slowly creak open. Looking down Celestia saw a violet eye through the crack in the door.When their eyes locked the door opened a bit more showing the lilac alicorn looking more jittery then before.
"Can I help you TT" said Twilight,her mane went every which way,her eyes seemed to look left and right every now and again as if someone was there,she gave a few twitches every few seconds.
"May I come in" Celestia said inching closer to the door, placing her hoof on the frame and gently pushing it open to see the fellow princess, she was, of course, whereing that black cloak but had the hood pulled down showing the white bandages that covered her right eye. Twilight seemed uneasy about it.
"I just need to talk with you" she added quickly placing a hoof in the castle, Twilight looked down seeming to think for a minute underneath her slightly longish mane Celestia could almost see Twilight's eye light up and a small resisted smile formed in her lips.Looking up at Celestia with the most genuine and happy smile she could must Twilight stepped away from the door,opening it more Celestia quietly moved in.
Her hooves made a small clack on the ground as she looked up at the tall ceiling taking in the once lively castle,now draped with a dark and upsetting aroua.Twilight led Celestia down the hall to another set of doors leading to the main room.
Once they got in Celestia saw the magical map open revealing the beautiful land they lived in,Twilight walked around the large crystal map taking a small look at it as she sat on her thrown.Her saddle bag sat next to it,Twilight looked at Celestia and back at her bag.Reaching a hoof down to it,playing it casual.
Celestia strode up to Twilight looking up at the roots of the Golden Oak Library,the little crystals being held from the strings glowed a duller shade,were cracked or were shattered,the roots themselves were aged and some small parts were laying on the floor after they fell off.
To absorbed in the roots she didn't notice what Twilight had taken out of the bag before a small glint of light reflecting off the small object caught her eye.Snapping to look back at the alicorn Celestia froze at the object in her hoof.
A sharp needle filled with an odd pm agents liquid,taking a small step back Twilight seemed to grow a small bit angry.Standing up on her thrown Twilight took the needle in her magic a determined yet stubborn look in her eyes.
"T-T-Twilight what are you do-" Celestia was cut off as Twilight lunged forward,before she could react the lilac alicorn had stabbed her needle into the sun princesses neck injecting the odd liquid into her.Falling to the floor she heard an evil chuckle from Twilight who had both her hoofs laying on Celestia's neck with her body resting next to hers.
"You always wanted to find out what happened to them didn't you" Twilight said still giggling like a maniac,little black dots clouded Celestia's vision and soon she couldn't see,hear,or feel a thing.
The world was spinning,her head hurt like tarturous,Celestia was slowly able to feel her hooves they were bound with was felt like a metal anklets,moving her hooves she heard the dragging and tug of a shirt chain,she couldn't feel her wings or activate any magic in her horn to ease any pain or call for help.
Slowly she opened her eyes,sitting her head up she realized the chains were so short she could barely even find a way to sit up,only able to lay on the floor she looked around the big dark room around her.She couldn't see far but the silhouette of something near a long,wide table near the wall caught her attention.
The thing suddenly looked over at the trembling white alicorn,frozen in place at the sight of a glowing gilet eye.A glow from a horn gave an eerie magenta glow showing what Clestia couldn't only recognize as Twilight.
She wasn't wearing her black cloak showing off a large X in the center of her chest stitched up with black thread,blood staining around it,smaller stitched up scars ran up the areas where the joints were on her front left leg and her back right leg,she had also taken off the bandages left eye showing a blood stained white button stitched to her face.
Celestia couldn't move,speak,and felt as if she would pass out again.Twilight turned her head to the side in a wired way,her mane falling over with her head."TT why are you so scared" she said her voice seeming to pitch up higher then before.
Trotting over to Celestia she carried I've a gold framed hoof mirror holding it up the scared alicorn with a twisted smile as she used her horn to set over a few candles in the room lighting them up.
Celestia nearly screamed at the sight of her,her wings were chopped off and loosely sewn back on making them drape over the side of her body,her horn seemed to be chopped by the segments made into a necklace that rested against her neck where in what seemed to be blood a giant X was drawn,little lines where drawn on the joints in her arms and legs,her ears,neck,even making a makeshift smile painted with blood.
Her breathing hitched as Twilight lit many more candles in the dark room,taking in her surrounding the best she could it appeared they were in a dungeon of some kind,several cells lined the wall Celestia was near,across the room was a large table with was appeared to be a hoof-Made ponyville it had several homes all of her friends and a few random,there was Sweet Apple Acers,a makeshift Cloudsdale hanging from the ceiling over a a part of the table and what seemed to a making of Canterlot Castle's main room in the making,along the walls were multiple chains and rope along with nails,boards,and many different types of thread,fabric,and tools for stitching.
Her eyes were suddenly drawn as Twilight happily trotted over to a small work bench next to them and the large table with the town on it,blocking whatever was on it from her view she was only able to see lots of blood,very familiar 'fabric' colors,needles and thread,with some odd objects Twilight was happily looking at.
"I know you would LOVE to see these ponies again TT" Twilight said looking over at Celestia with a crazy smile,lifting up the odd objects she skipped to the chain bound alicorn and lifted up 10 dolls.
10 oddly familiar dolls
It then hit her,each if the dolls represented each of the ponies and dragon that went missing,they were the size of average dolls but had blood stained onto the stitches on the neck,leg joints,ears,wings or horns,and along the large X on their chest.
Twilight levitated the dolls up to the makeshift ponyville and set them down in certain poses to imitate them talking to each other.
"Hmmmm,Mabye you want to see the 'better' version" Twilight giggled pointing over to the far side of the room,looking over scared beyond her life she could've past out at the sight of Rainbow,Applejack,Fluttershy,Pinkie,Rarity,Moon Dancer,Lemon Hearts,Twinkleshine,Spike,Lyra,and Minuette all laying their limply stitched up the same way as the dolls were exept for section of their fur were cut off and replaced with various different colors of cloth stitched in their place.
The white alicorn nearly vomited but Twilight continued to speak "I didn't want to do it but I'm immortal,I didn't want to loose them." She spoke rather quickly "But sometimes you have to do what you have to do to keep your friends with you forever and ever and ever"
Twilight turned to Celestia as the white alicorn muttered "W-W-What are you going to do w-w-with me".Twilight rose and eyebrow before using her magic to lift a scalpel off the work bench.
"I think you can tell" Twilight said,before Celestia could cry out anything she added "I know your immortal too but that wouldn't have changed you leaving me or you finding out.You would have found out sooner or later so I was already planning this.It was all your fault that you sped up the process"
Twilight walked closer to Celestia,the princess tried to move away but could only move a few inches in her small chains.Coming to a stop in front of her Twilight lowered the scalpel to her side."NO" Celestia cried as the knife dove into her fur.
Blood seeped out of the cut as Twilight slowly cut out a large rectangle.When reading the the finished shape Twilight dug the knife under a corner of the white now red fur,when it was made into a small flap Twilight leaned over and bit into the little flap of fur before Celestia could move or cry in any way Twilight pulled sharply back making the fur make a terrible ripping noise.
Blood fell onto Twilight's cheeks,teeth,floor,and along Celestia's side as the princess reared back an inch of the ground in pain.Celestia was shoved back to the ground by Twilight's hoof.Making another incision the same size on her other side Twilight related the same agonizing process.
Lifting up Celestia's from left hoof she used the scalpel to cut along the blood marking staining her for with own blood,small drops fell to the floor making a small puddle on the bottom of her hoof.
Grinding her teeth together in pain she heard Twilight walk over to the work bench and pick up another torture item.Tears ran down her face as she felt a bit light headed,trying to keep her mid together her neck lost all control and fell limp to the floor slowly losing contiousness again.
Groaning in agony Celestia was only wishing for all this to be just a simple nightmare.
"Oh goodie I thought you didn't last like Flutters did" she heard none other then the pitched voice of a crazy Twilight.Celestia realized she couldn't feel her hoofs,wings,neck,ears,or her mouth.Opening her eyes completely she realized she could only see through one.
The stopped breathing at the sight of a bloody doll of her right in her face,looking like the others with a large smile and large button eyes it stared down at her.The doll then went down showing the crazy eye and button of Twilight.
"What do you think" she said happily "You fell asleep before I could stitch up your arms,but you woke up just in time for be to compete the operation,then we'll be together forever~" Twilight looked at Celestia's tear filled eyes flushed completely with fear "Aw~ don't be sad TT,this was fun just be glad I you woke up before I stitched up your other eye with my precious buttons"
Twilight then disappeared from view but came back moments later with another scalpel.She felt the blade being pressed to her chest and let out a muffled scream as Twilight made a large X on her chest.Suddenly she felt another pain along her chest as Twilight stitched up the wound with thread making it seal shut.
Looking back up at Celestia Twilight gave a large smile as she brought up a large light purple button,placing it up to her eye Twilight's crazed smile was frozen in her head as a sharp pain of the needle enter and puncture her eye.Celestia screamed even more as she felt blood stream down the stitched up parts off her body.
Hearing the coop of hoofs and a childish laugh Celestia heard Twilight say in a very happy tone
"Don't worry TT Luna will join you soon."
