... and lower...

Another day.
Another night.
Another hour.
Another minute.
And then it's day again.

The clock ticks.
The ponies live.
They have no idea though.
They have no idea how I feel.
Of course they don't.
Why would they?

They're just a bunch of idiots.
They should be dead.
Instead of... her.

She should be here.
She should be crashing through my window and appearing on my doorstep.
But she isn't.
For they killed her.

They never cared.
I'm sure they killed her.
My so called friends.
Down to the mane five eh?
Well it's the mane four now.
I'm quitting this group.

If Pinkie's in it, I'm not.
The others probably knew too.
They probably knew that Pinkie was going to kill her.
And they didn't say anything.

No matter what you say, I won't believe any of you.
Liars...
Liars.
Liars!
Liars! Liars!

"Liars! Liars! Liars! Liars! You're all lying!"

My hysterical screams awoke somepony.
The door of my room is opening.
By that won't stop me from screaming.

"Princess Celestia! Come up quick! It's happening again!"

Spike's voice rings through my head and I get up, walking towards him without shutting up.

"Liar! You're a liar too! A filthy, filthy liar! And you know what else?! A killer!"

That hit him.
He flinched.

"KILLER! KILLER! YOU WERE ALL KILLERS! YOU KILLED HER!"

My screams are becoming louder.

A giant alicorn jumps into the room and puts a paralyzing spell on me.
I can't move now.
I can move my lips though.
And that's more than enough...

"Why hello PRINCESS!"
I'm smiling.
She's freaked out.
I know she is.
She isn't showing it though.
"HOW was the FUNERAL?"

"Please make her stop..." Spike's murmur echoed everywhere.

"YOU WANT ME... TO... TO... HAHAHA! TO STOP? WHEN YOU STOPPED RAINBOW'S HEART?! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU ALL! HAHA! TARDINESS!
PRINCESS LET ME DOWN OR I'LL BE TARDY TO KILL THEM! HEHE!"

The Princess ignores my request and carries me downstairs where my parents are.
The moment I spot them, my heart leaps as I want to inflict more pain.

"HELLO MOTHER! COME TO SEE... TO SEE THE... HAHA! BLOOD BATH?! EVERYPONY IS COMING! AND YOU KNOW THAT IF PINKIE PUTS AN ALLIGATOR IN THE TUB AGAIN... WELL... HAHHA! I'LL TORTURE HER!"

My mother is crying in my father's hooves.
They are both shocked.
Good.
I know that I'm not going to live for much longer.
Ponies will kill me without hesitating if they knew how crazy I had become.
But it was their fault... All THEIR fault.

"I am terribly sorry..." Princess Celestia said, sitting down next to Twilights parents.
"I didn't expect you to come this early and she always gets a little... deranged in the morning."

Twilight's mother looked up at her, tears streaming down her face.
"My... My baby... My poor baby... What happened?"

"Yes Princess, we have come here to seek answers, not look at our unfortunate daughter."

Celestia sighted as she took a sip of her tea.
"Very well... I wanted Twilight to be here when I explained it but considering her current state of mind, I guess that will be impossible.
She's safe and sound in a aisle for now don't you worry.
As for what happened to her, here's everything from the beginning..."

Princess! There ain't no time for introductions or formality!
We need ya in Ponyville right now! There's... There's something wrong with Pinkie...
And she... I mean... This is hard to write so I'll just have to let you discover what you'll see when you arrive.
Applejack and the others

Celestia looked at the piece of paper, surprised and shocked to hear from the mares in such a horrific letter.

She could see the parchment was wet with fresh tears.
I'm coming my dear subjects...
And she teleported to Ponyville.

The second she arrived, she saw chaos everywhere!
Ponies were crying and sobbing.
Fillies were shivering with fear.
And most importantly of all, there were screams.

Celestia ran towards the noise and stopped in front of Sugar Cube Corner.
There, police ponies were covering it with the yellow tape they so often used.

Celestia looked around and spotted two guards forcing a pink pony into a van.

What in the world... Pinkie Pie?!

"Princess! You're here!"
Rarity's gasp awoke the alicorn from her reflexion.

"Yes! Please explain to me what happened!"
Celestia shot a look behind the dressmaker and saw Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Spike and Scootaloo crying over a sheet.

Even Discord seemed unusually dull for he was sitting away from the others, a concerned look on his face.

"It's Pinkie Pie... She... Oh dear how to say it... She killed Rainbow Dash!"

Celestia froze.
You're kidding me!

"Why?" asked the Princess, trying to keep her calm.

"It was to make... cupcakes! We found her in the most horrible of states... Oh Princess I'm sorry but I think I'm going to-"
Rarity quickly turned as she threw up.

"I'll go see what I can do" murmured the alicorn.

She came up to the group and put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder, feeling tears come up to her eyes.
"I am terribly sorry for what happened. I will do my best to-"

"She killed her."

The mumble was soft, dangerous and alarmingly calm.

"Pardon me Princes Twilight, I did not hear-"

"She killed the only mare I loved."

That surprised the white alicorn.
She had no idea her student liked mares.

Twilight continued talking, her voice hollow and sick.

"I never revealed my feelings to her. She died, suffering because of one of my so called friends..."

"I am as shocked as you".

"But not as sad" Twilight still wasn't turning around to look at the Princess.
She just kept her head low and her gaze was probably stuck on the pony form that was under the sheet.
"I should've known. I should've known that... that that PSYCHO was going to kill her."

This time, her voice had gone up a bit.
Spike and Scootaloo turned to her, surprised.

"She... She was a liar! She couldn't be trusted! I... I CAN'T TRUST ANYPONY!"

Her scream had hushed every single mare and stallion in the area.
They were now all staring at her.

"Princess, please come with me. We can discuss this someplace else."

"What so you can kill me too?!"

A few ponies started whispering to each other but Celestia kept her dignity and asked once more to leave.

"No. No. You... YOU can't be trusted!"

Twilight turned around and Celestia saw her iris that was getting smaller.
The purple alicorn stood up.

"I can't TRUST anypony! I... I HATE YOU ALL! I BET YOU KNEW!
I BET YOU ALL WERE THERE WHEN YOU KILLED AND TORTURED HER, FREEING HER INTESTINES AND PULLING HER HEART AWAY!"

Some ponies started to throw up.

"Twilight Sparkle! That's enough!" shouted Celestia.

"Oh look at the C... C... CARING princess we've got here!" Twilight's left eye twitched.
"Who tells me you WEREN'T in the massacre?! Huh?!
She already sent her sister to the moon! Why not kill the only pony I loved?!"

"This is... This is ridiculous..." mumbled Applejack.

Princess Celestia didn't answer and simply teleported Twilight away from the crowd.

"Princess Twilight!" she scolded. "Please behave! I know it's hard but you're simply going to have to cope with the pain-"

"You wouldn't know anything about that. It's like you don't understand!
But it's fine. I know you helped kill Rainbow Dash. You're just a filthy traitor like the others" said Twilight in a voice that Celestia had never heard.

This isn't the pony I've known... Sadness and despair have completely transformed her...

"Please proceed to your castle. Your friends will surely visit you later on".

"I'll kill them." murmured Twilight.

"Excuse me?"

"I'll kill them if they get anywhere near me... I have no intent of even LOOKING at one of those... filthy and blood covered traitors! You know what awaits them if you bring them up..." Twilight spun around with her head high and angrily stomped back towards the castle.

Twilight Sparkle... What has your friend done to you?

Celestia sighed.
"And that's how she ended here. Her friends were all forbidden to go visit her and only Spike passes without driving her mad... in a way."

"Oh what did she do to deserve such a faith?" murmured Twilight's mother, her sobs having died down.

"I am terribly sorry. As you've probably heard, Pinkie Pie was killed two days ago.
I don't mean to alarm you but Twilight was the only one out that day. We don't have any leads for now but it may be her..."

"We'll leave for the asylum as soon as we can. I want to visit her..." mumbled Twilight's father. "She... She won't go crazy when she sees us right?"

"Honey... I'm afraid she already has." uttered Twilight's mother.

Sobs echoed through the room once more.

The Princess teleported away, giving them some privacy to mourn their daughter.

They think... They think that I'm not going to make it huh? But I'm p... p... perfectly fine... I'll show them! As soon as I find a way out of here, they'll realize their mistake.
I already killed Pinkie...

Don't you worry Rainbow. I'm afraid that I won't be joining you for a while but, I think we've both got unfinished business here...
