The rocky mind of the insane
Muad sighed as she moved some rocks into a group, the farm was quiet expect for the occasional sound of pebbles skittering and the sound of Muad sighing and crushing rocks. Her sisters had moved away, pinkie pie left first then marble then Quartz when her parents died they came to pay respects and left.
"Yoohoo!" Yelled a familiar annoying voice "We're back Muad!" Slowly turning around the grey pony turned to face the pony. It was flim and flam they were trying to buy the farm from her.
"What" she said in her monotone voice and she walked over "I'm not selling the farm"
"Um flam is she being sarcastic" flim whispered to flam
"I'll ask" he whispered back and cleared his throat "Are you being sarcastic?"
"No" she pointed her hoof toward the exit of the rock farm "leave now or I will report you"
"Fine" they said in unison "see you tomorrow" they called out to her as they left.
When they were gone Muad walked over to the rocks she was working on when tears suddenly started to appear in her eyes, they plopped onto some rocks.
"STUPID EGGHEADS!" Her voice raised a little but keeping its monotonous streak and she crushed her hoof down on a rock, breaking it into little pieces. The shards stuck in her foot and she winced as she set her hoof down. She turned her hoof over to look at the wound, diamond shape shards of rock dug into her skin and a steady flow of blood slowly poured out and landed on more rocks.
"We could help you know?" Said a gravelly voice
"Who's there?" She called out and she heared a loud scraping noise.
"We're all around you" Muad whipped her head around quickly all she saw was rocks.
"Your the rocks?" She gulped nervously emotion creeping into her voice
"Yes, are you afraid?"
"N-no" she looked around to see where the voice was coming from.
"I'll come out just stand out of the way" Muad backed up as rocks skidded past her toward a large rock, stacking themselves on top of each other. The large rock went on top of two stacked tower of rocks making legs and a body, a horizontal tower of rocks climbed up and they formed arms and a middle side rock climbed up the body and settled on top. A loud scraping sound was heared again as out of the end of the arms came 3 long claw shaped rocks appeared from the arms and same for the legs. The rock monsters head blinked and burning orange eyes appeared and a long slender mouth with sharp teeth appeared as the monster spoke, "Are you happy at my sight?" Asked the monster and Muad realised that her mouth had curled into a smile.
"Yes" she said nervously "I don't know why though" she looked at her hooves "You should leave now my sisters will be visiting today they promised"
"No they won't" the rock monster said "It has already happened" Muad stumbled back.
"What!" She said again emotion creeping in her voice "No, my parents died last week and they said they would come over and have tea" the rock smiled slowly,
"No, they had already visited you" Muad felt a slight memory creeping into her mind of laughter and the smell of tea. "It's been five months since anypony had visited you, only the business pony's had come to see you"
muad gasped when reality hit her, it was true the rock was right.
Muad whimpered a little as the monster stepped closer to her "your sisters don't really care about you I guess" Maud frowned, that was true they didn't need a invite to come to there home and they didn't even send a letter. "Let me stay with you, don't worry another ponies won't see me unless you allow them too" Maud nodded, her mind was still stuck thinking about her sisters who wouldn't visit her.
When Maud went to bed she saw the monster sitting outside on the porch.
"Your not going to come in?" She asked "you can probably duck under the doorway"
"There's no need" the monster called out and the rocks slowly unformed from the standing state into a long rock snake the head at the top of a long pile of rocks and the tail having the claws, the torso was no where to be seen. "As a rock monster I can change shape" and it slid over to her bed. "I'm here to protect and attack for you Maud, you can trust me to stay with you" he paused "unlike your sisters" Maud fell silent and she turned over on her side without another word and fell into a restless sleep.
She was awoken by the noise of hammers and growling, she got out of bed quickly and ran toward the doorway and saw the sight she had been dreading for days, the flim flam brothers were knocking a sign infront of the farm with machines behind them.
"Oye!" She called over "what just do you think your doing?" She raced over and her the rock monster stomping behind her.
"Missy, we decided you can't see reason" said flim, he was knocking the sign into place which said: Flim and Flams Apple Farm.
"So we took matters in our own hands" flam finished, he was one the machine which had some trees in little pots, he hopped of the machine and went to stand next to his bother.
"We don't need your stinking trees, there's enough around here" Maud gestured around her.
"We?" Said the brothers in unison.
"She's losing it" whispered flim
"She's crazy" whispered flam
"I am not" she retorted "now get out of here before I charge you with trespassing!"
"Technically your trespassing since it's now our land" flam pointed at the sign and his brother chuckled.
"No run along and get your stuff before we bulldoze your house" Maud stomped her hoof.
"Last warning get off!" She yelled emotion overwhelming her voice.
"What are you going to do attack us, that will just help our case" said flim smartly.
"Rock monster let these two see you" she said.
"She has lost-" said flim when his face went slack and the words died in his throat, his twin fallowed but letting a small scream let out. Muad felt the monster behind her, the presence calmed her for some reason.
"Remember Maud I can attack them" the monster whispered at her. Maud throught for a second, would equestria need these lying ponies? The world could do without them,
"Attack" she said blandly and the monster stepped around her.
"No wait!" Yelled flam when the monsters arm went right through the pony.
"Flam!" Yelled flim and he turned and ran. More rocks came to the monster and made his other arm longer and it reached out and stabbed through flim. The monster pulled the pony back and they both made strangled screams. somehow, some way they were still alive. The monster pulled his arm out of film and flam they collapsed on the ground unable to run, his rocky hands covered in there blood the red liquid dripped down its arm and on the ground.
he was holding something round and red, like a kidney or a lung she couldn't tell before he crushed them in his hands.
His arms reached out and grabbed flim by the head and the flank and pulled. Maud closed her eyes as a loud ripping sound was heared and the scent of blood filled the air and poisoned her lungs. She opened her eyes to see the head of the unicorn a few feet infront of her, she screamed.
"Stop it!" She yelled but the monster was slowly ripping flam his yellow fur slowly turning red and the rock monster pulled with all his might and there was another ripping and breaking sound as flam's spine broke in two and he fell like a broken toy when the monster dropped him.
The ground was soaked in blood and the Crimson pool was slowly going toward Maud like the blood wanted revenge, the smell and sight of the blood was so sicking she nearly threw up.
"I'm sorry you had to see that" said the monster turning around, he rose his hand toward his face and a long sliver tongue came out of the lava mouth and licked the blood of the hand in one lick and he did the same to his other hand. The blood finally reached Maud and washed around her hooves, the blood seem to soak into her like she was a sponge slowly going toward her mind. The once foul smelling blood seemed to be a delicious smell like one of her sisters cupcakes.
"I don't mind" she said surprising herself "I actually enjoy it a little" the monster glanced at her surprised.
"Really, that's interesting" the monster smiled and long thin smile, "Well I should clean up"
"Could you do me a favor"
"Yes"
"Could you decimate the twins and put the remains in a bag or barrel for me"
"Sure..." And maud trotted off without another word to wash her hooves.
