Dusk/EmberCakes
Previous Chapter"Oh come on now Dusk," Ember said as she nuzzled her Stallion friend gently. "I'm sure Pinkie Pie has a very good reason for asking us to come to SugarCube Corner this late at night, maybe she has questions about our wedding…."
The couple was trotting at a slow pace towards the shop.
Dusk frowned slightly,
"I don't see why she couldn't wait til the morning," he stated in a grumpy tone.
Ember giggled again, her wings fluttered slightly as she smiled at him.
"She said it was important….and she sounded excited….Oh boy, I cant wait to see what it is she wants to show us!"
They arrived at the bake-house and Dusk knocked on the door.
After a few moments the pink mare answered the door and she beamed at them.
"You came! Wonderful! Please, come in! Come in!" she frisked from side to side. "Oooh I'm so happy!"
"What is it you wanted Pinkie pie?" Dusk asked as they entered the bake-house, "It's late,"
Pinkie nodded.
"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry…but I've just finished working on the perfect taste for your wedding cake, over here! I have some cupcake samples…please, try some and tell me what you think."
Dusk frowned,
"Cake!? You called us over here because of cake!?" he asked, Ember on the other hand let out a happy giggle and she flew over to the plate of cupcakes.
They were amazingly vibrant, and with frosting a shade of green that seemed familiar to her.
She looked at the cupcakes and she picked one up and she nibbled at it with a wide smile on her face.
Dusk on the other hand stood by the door frowning to himself.
"Is this all Pinkie?" he asked.
"Wow, Pinkie these are delicious! Dusk! You have to try this…it tastes amazing!" Ember said, eating another one, she looked over at her Fiancee and she giggled softly, the bright green frosting stained her red muzzle.
Dusk sighed and trotted over to Ember and he lifted one of the cupcakes with his magic and he brought it close and he bit it, chewed and swallowed.
He blinked in amazement and then eagerly ate the rest of the cupcake, he then levitated another one and he ate that one as well.
Pinkie watched them as they laughed and ate the cupcakes, but after a bit they seemed to be getting drowsy.
Pinkie took a step forward, then another, and by the time she got to them, they fell over unconscious.
"Oh boy," Pinkie giggled, "A two-fer….this is gunna be soooo fun!"

"Oooh…."
Dusk groaned as his eyes slowly opened.
He blinked slowly as his sight came back to him, and he gasped when he saw Ember strapped down to an upright table across from him, she was blindfolded and the only part of her that was free were her wings, but it was clear that wasn't going to do her any good.
He moved to go over to her and noted that he couldn't, He then realized he was in the same situation and he frowned.
His horn glew a soft red in shade and he tried to unfasten the binds holding Ember but a voice spoke up.
"Oooh Dusky-wusky, that wont work…so you shouldn't try…."
Dusk turned towards the sound of the voice and saw Pinkie Pie trot into the room.
She was wearing a costume of sorts, a costume of cutie marks, he recognized at least four of them, one of which was a quill, the other a bowl of ramen.
Around her neck was a necklace of unicorn horns, they clattered and clacked together.
Upon her back were a collection of severed pegasi wings, they fluttered and flapped in a sad and listless manner with each of her movements.
"Pinkie Pie!" Dusk growled, his eyes flickered silver and he was about to throw a blast of energy at Pinkie Pie when Ember woke up and let out a scream of fear, it distracted him and he lost the energies he had been storing in his horn.
"Dusk!" Ember cried out, "I cant see! What's going on!?"
He was about to answer her when Pinkie Pie spoke up first.
"Oooh silly! The reason you cant see is because I blind-folded you," she giggled.
"Why can't I move?"
"Because you're tied down…" Pinkie giggled. "This is fun! And we are about to have so much more fun! But I gotta do something first!"
She then turned and looked at Dusk, she then trotted over to him and she lifted a hoof to his horn and she tapped at it.
"I'm just going to get to the point!" She said and she wipped around super fast, there was a horrible cracking sound and Dusk screamed in pain.
Ember screamed too, in fear, for she couldn't see what was happening.
"What did you do that for!?" Dusk cried in pain and anger.
"So you couldn't use your magic to help your mare-friend…" Pinkie giggled and she skipped over to Ember and pulled the blind-fold off her, the Pegasus looked at the Pink Mare and she blinked a few times, she then looked over at Dusk and when she saw what Pinkie had done she looked at the pink mare in shock.
"You….you broke his horn…." she whispered, sadness and fear in her voice, "I thought we were friends! Why would you do such a thing!?" she shook her head, her long white hair falling past her pale pink eyes.
Pinkie Pie nodded.
"You guys *are* my friends, and that is why I'm soooo Happy you both are here, with me, together because I wouldn't want this any other way…" she looked from Ember to Dusk and she smiled with such sincerity. "And besides, if he kept his horn he would have made this whole process so much harder, and I already have the feeling this is going to be a major work out!" she giggled, "So, shall we start? I'm going to have to take your wings first Ember," she said and she trotted over to the table and picked up a bone saw in her mouth before she began to walk over towards Ember who was now panicing, she smiled in a gentle manner and she set the bone saw down.
"OOh! I almost forgot!" she looked at Dusk, then at Ember, "If either of you make a sound while I'm working on the other pony, I'll do some thing horrible to them, okay? If you love one another, you'll be quiet and enjoy this amazing moment the three of us are sharing, now then...should I take your wings or your cutie marks first?" she asked.
Dusk growled in a disgusted and hateful tone.
"Dont you lay one hoof on her you psychopath! Just you wait til I get out of here...you're going to be sorry..."
Pinkie Pie sighed and shook her head,
"Oooh Dusky-Wusky, that was a mistake," She said and the next thing Dusk knew Ember was screaming as Pinkie pie made three small cuts in her lower flank near her cutie mark and simply tore them off, there was jagged edges of flesh and blood spattered on the floor and pink mare as well.
She held up the crudely removed Cutie mark and she smirked.
"See what you made me do to your Fiancee Dusky-Wusky?" she cooed, she waved the flap of skin in front of Dusk's face and then turned back to Ember with a grin. "Lets get that other one off you too..."
Ember whimpered softly and she shook her head.
"Dont...Dont...." she whispered as she writhed there, Pinkie Pie grinned at her and she removed the other one in a more clean and less ragged manner, she chuckled.
"I guess I'll only have one Cutie Mark to put on my dress, huh? That's a shame, usually I like to have two...now then," she glanced over at Dusk, and then moved over to the back of Ember and took one of her wings in her mouth and she pulled on it slightly before she nodded, "Okie-dokie-lokie! Let's do this!" she picked up the bone saw and she set to work, sawing at Ember's right wing, the black pegasus let out a wail of pain and Dusk grit his teeth, afraid to say anything for fear of causing his fiancee any more pain.
In a matter of moments, Ember had blacked out and her wing fell to the floor with a wet flap sound.
Pinkie let out a frustrated growl and jammed a needle into Ember's right forleg.
She woke up instantly and blinked.
"You fell asleep on me, that's rude." Pinkie snapped, "For that, It's dusks turn to lose his cutie marks!"
Ember choked back her sobs and shook her head.
"No, no no no," she whispered in a begging manner, "Please dont hurt him...please...."
Pinkie Pie ignored Ember and lifted her scalple and began to cut away at Dusk's flesh, he cried out in pain and watched Pinkie with hateful eyes.
He wished he could use his magic and he lifted his gaze to the room and he saw two figures standing in the corner, he blinked and Pinkie noticed what he was looking at, she smiled.
"Oh! That reminds me!" she tore Dusk's cutie marks away, brining a cry of pain and she scampered over to the corner and pushed both dolls forward.
One was Sonnet, her mane had been replaced by her scarf, it had been unwraveled and it looked odd on her, and Ramen's features had been twisted into an eternal and creepy smile.
"Your friends are going to watch too!" Pinkie said and she giggled.
She then looked at Ember who was shaking and squeezing her eyes closed, Pinkie tisked softly and moved back over to her and pulled on her other wing, bringing not only a burning sensation from her back, but in her legs as well, she let out a cry of pain.
Pinkie grinned, then she set to work hacking the other wing off, Ember cried out sadly and tried to twist away from Pinkie ,but the pink mare took the wing in her teeth and jerked her head violently forward, not only ripping the wing off, but a portion of Ember's back as well.
Dusk felt sick as he watched this, and he felt anger too.
How dare this mare treat them in such a manner!
"Pinkie pie!" He growled. "Stop this right now, you wont get away with it, sooner or later, you will be found out!"
Pinkie smirked,
"Ooooh I doubt that." she said, her tone dark and dripping with venom.
She moved over to Dusk and she smiled lightly, she then lifted some barbed-wire and she held it up so that Dusk could see it before she began to wind it around Dusk's mouth and pulling tight, the Unicorn groaned in pain as blood ran from the new holes in his muzzle and he thrashed his head in a vain attempt to get the barbed wire off him.
Ember was sobbing hard and trying to heat the binds that held her so she could break them, but she couldnt call forth enough fire and all she was suceeding in doing was burning herself, Pinkie noted the scent of burning fur and turned and saw what Ember was up to and she laughed.
"Oh-ho! Ok! Sure....Let's play with fire shall we ember?" she asked and she trotted over to what looked like a fire place, she came back with a branding iron in her mouth and it's end was bright white with heat.
Ember whimpered and Dusk tried to speak, but upon attempting to open his mouth the barbs stuck deeper into his muzzle causing him great pain.
"Okie-dokoe-lokie! Here we go! This is going to be so much fun!" Pinkie crowed and she brought the branding iron towards Ember's inner thigh slowly, but she paused for a moment and she giggled, "Hey Ember!" she called, and when Ember quieted down and blinked the tears from her eyes, Pinkie jammed the burning hot iron against her thigh, "You just got a new cutie mark!"
Ember screamed in pain and once again fell into crying.
Dusk's eyes flared white with rage but without a horn to channel his powers through, all he ended up doing was giving himself a head-ache.
Pinkie cackled with laughter and she brought the iron against Ember's other inner thigh as well, burning the fur and skin there too.
Ember sobbed in pain and exhaustion and she soon just hung there, breathing heavily.
Pinkie smiled to herself and she glanced over at Dusk, then slowly she moved over to the table again and picked up a blade and she moved back towards Ember and she slowly trailed the blade down Ember's torso, Ember let out a strangled scream and Pinkie Pie giggled.
"Ooops! I forgot to numb you, I'm sorry Ember, but I cant seem to stop now."
Ember cried out as she was cut open and each scream caused Dusk to grow sadder and madder at the same time.
Pinkie Pie turned and looked at Dusk for a few moments then she began to gut Ember, Ember sobbed softly and whispered.
"Dusk my love.......never.....forget.......how much I...." she trailed off and fell silent, her body now an empty shell, Pinkie Pie turned to face Dusk now and she giggled softly.
"Well, well, now it's just you and me." she mused, "How nice isnt it? I felt that she needed to go first because she's a lady and ladys always go first, right Dusky-wusky?" she cooed and she lifted the knife again and cackled in a demented manner.
The last thing Dusk saw was the sad and lifeless face of the mare he loved and then everything went black.

"Oooh but that was fun!" Pinkie Pie giggled as she finished stitching Dusk closed, she looked from the Ember doll to the Dusk doll and she pushed them closer togeher.
"There we go!" she then yawned and stretched.
"Mmmm, I'm tired, guess I'll take bath then go to bed, I can always draw a number tomorrow morning." she said and she skipped up the steps and out of the basement.
