Nothing Like Home

Chapter 10

Doc appeared behind Rainbow Dash and he nibbled on her ear.

“You are quite delicious yourself… Hey, that give me an idea!”, he chuckled. He stretched out Rainbows wings and grabbed a firm hold of them. “Very nice wings you have, sweetie”. He admired her wings as another one of his specters wrapped itself over her mouth. Doc popped the wings out of their sockets and yanked them from her body. The first one came off clean and the other did not. It held tight on to the pegasus’ torso. He grew angered with the tough skin and started yanking it in all directions trying to remove it. Rainbow clenched her eyes and teeth in pain, her face soaked with tears. “One more…” He ripped the wing off and a little bit of her back came with it.

He returned to his seat and started plucking the feathers. The specter around Dash’s mouth released and she started screaming with agony. Screams were reduced to moans as she laid her head on the table. Doc laughed.

“No sleeping my dear. I haven’t finished preparing our dinner!”

He plucked the last feather from her now bare wings and rubbed it in some of Celestia’s acid blood. “Here, give it a taste. It’s my own special recipe!” He tilted his beautiful blood spattered head at Rainbow. She turned away the wing, refusing to eat her own body parts. Insulted, Doc used his specters to open her mouth. He shoved the wings down her throat laughing the entire time.

One after another, he ripped off a limb and fed it to Rainbow. The acid within Celestia’s blood, which Doc used as a sauce, ate away at Rainbow’s insides. Her throat had been so scorched by the acid that she couldn’t even scream in pain anymore. Doc walked up to Rainbow Dash and pressed his nose up against hers.

“You have beautiful eyes” He mumbled like a shy child. “I want them. Now!”, he said.

His specters crawled up her neck to her head. They peeled back her eyelids and he plucked out each of her eyes. They made the same squish and snap noises that Spike’s had before. He filled her head with his shadows through her eyes sockets and built up pressure within it. Finally, her head exploded and splattered across Doc’s face. Her body lay limp within his shadows, leaking the blood of both her and the princess. Rainbow’s head looked like the shrapnel aftermath of a grenade explosion. Doc tossed her eyes in the air, juggling them with his shadows, he admired them so.

“So pretty! Why didn’t I just take these first? They are so perfect!”

His enjoyment continued as he juggled the eyes. Doc’s room of shadows was decorated with the remains of ponies. Blood and guts, bones as accents; he cheered for the present his father had so graciously given him. The room disappeared soon after, with no trace of him ever being there. His room of tortured had vanished.
