Stuffed Toys

Fluttershy woke up feeling oddly relaxed. Her muscles were loosened and she felt happy lying there. That is, until she opened her eyes. She was confused when she saw a grey ceiling above her, since it wasn't the colour of her own house ceiling. Trying to get up, she felt a sharp tug which stopped her from moving. Looking to her side, she saw leather shackles clinging tightly on her skin. Fluttershy started panicking. The last thing she remembered was having tea with Nightlight and StitchedHeart. It wasn't until she remembered where she last was when she realised what had happened. Drugged, simple as that. Her sea-foam green eyes shot to the other side of the room to see the same ponies she had tea with standing in the corners of the room.

"I like it better when they sleep." StitchedHeart sighed.

"Yes, but it's so delightful to hear their screams." Nightlight chuckled.

All Fluttershy could do was pant and wonder what to do next. She didn't want to provoke them, since she had already caught sight of the sharp tools sitting inches away from her. Instead, she stared at them and struggled at her restraints.

"Hm? What's the matter, deary?" StitchedHeart asked. "Cat got your tongue? Anyway, you're a lucky one. Usually our patients have cutiemarks that are slightly crooked or something like that. You're cutiemark, however, is in a perfect place." The unicorn snickered.

StitchedHeart began drawing a line down Fluttershy's chest. The marker felt cold against her skin, but instead of flinching, she carried on wriggling her arm out of the shackles. Her bunny, Angel, had taught her a neat trick on how to slip out of chains and any other restraints. Finally, she can put his skills to use.

Nightlight approached the pegesus with a scalpel. Fluttershy cringed, trying to move her wings, which were also held down by leather material.

"It's leather..." Fluttershy thought. "It should be easier to break out of."

Nightlight began cutting his way into Fluttershy's body. She twitched and fidgeted as the small knife cut through her skin. She managed to stop herself from screaming, just in case they might get angry. Instead, she built all of the pain into one of her arms and pulled with all her might. The shackle snapped.

It snapped.

Fluttershy broke free, and didn't think twice when she punched Nightlight straight in the face, almost breaking his nose. After doing so, tears ran down her face as she loosened the other shackle on her other hoof.

"Come on, come on, come on!"

She almost succeeded, until StitchedHeart grabbed the freed arm with her magic and slammed it onto the edge of the operating table she was on, breaking it immediately. Fluttershy screeched in pain as the bone in her arm had shattered, but she also screamed because of the fact that they would probably kill her instantly now. Fluttershy panted and screamed for her life.

"PLEASE!" She begged. "DON'T KILL ME!"

Nightlight strapped on the shackle and tightened it, making sure she wouldn't escape again, and tight enough so that it would hurt her broken arm. Then, he staggered to the next hoof and tightened it. He was slightly dazed after the punch, and had to sit down for a moment.

StitchedHeart snapped at Fluttershy, levitating a butcher's knife to her eye.

"Behave." She sang. "Behave, and I won't dig this knife so far into your eye and brain that you forget who you even are."

Fluttershy was panting. She could feel the organs in her flip upside down. Drool started rolling down her cheek, and she felt like she was going to throw up. She nodded in response, promising to behave.

Nightlight stood up and grabbed the hack-saw and started taking out Fluttershy's ribs. As much as she wanted to scream, she couldn't, since Stitched still had the knife up to her eye. It was so close that if she screamed, she would flinch. And if she flinched, the knife would go in her eye. She was scared, terrified. Then, she decided to speak.

"What was that?" StitchedHeart asked. "I'm sorry, you sound like a mouse."

"D-Did you hurt... Applebloom..?" Fluttershy stuttered. "Are you the reason why s-she's missing..?"

"Yep!" Nightlight bellowed, throwing the hack saw on to the table. "She was a whiny one, but she was better behaving than you."

Nightlight grabbed a fork. He started poking at Fluttershy's insides. The pegesus wanted to punch him again so badly, which you don't normally get from the element of kindness. But, she knows that the other elements will realise she's missing, and take the Light family down. Having your guts poked at does not give you a pleasant feeling, and Fluttershy felt ready to barf.

"You will regret this..." She muttered in an unfamiliar tone.

Nightlight and StitchedHeart paused.

"They will find out about this." Fluttershy continued. "And when they do, trust me, they will not rest until you are either dead or in prison on death row. My friends would search under every rock to find me, even if it includes under every house..."

The two ponies stood there in surprise. The shy mare they once knew, (or sort of knew), had turned into a dark and sinister pony. Fluttershy's voice went deeper the more she talked, making them think she was some kind of demon.

"Hehehe...." Fluttershy chuckled, as if she lost her mind. "Go ahead, poke at me. They will find out sooner or later."

And, with that, Fluttershy went quiet. Her pupils were dilated. She had dozed off, with drool dripping down her chin.

Nightlight shook his head, and continued picking at Fluttershy's organs. Once he had done this, he started taking some organs out, started with the stomach. He didn't use any tools to pick out the organs, he used his bare hooves. He ripped out the stomach as if it was nothing. As soon as he tore it out, Fluttershy's mouth started filling with blood, but Fluttershy herself did nothing. She didn't scream, flinch or even cringe. Her eyes remained unblinking. She knew she was going to die, so she thought that she might as well not sit through the pain.

All there were was the heart, still beating but at a slow pace. With her lungs gone, the heart slowing down each beat. Nightlight gripped the heart and pulled at it. The first tug didn't free the red beating organ, nor did the second. Everyone had always told her that she had a strong heart. This is not what they meant. After the fifth tug, the heart was ripped out, and Fluttershy's life ceased to exist.

Firefly had just woken up, and she stumbled her way downstairs with her favourite blanket and her Applebloom plushie. She felt drowsy, and her hair was all up in knots. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she sat in the living room on her blanket and played around with her pony teddy. After a while, she saw something above her eyes.

"Hi, I'm Butterfly, and I like to play with you!"

StitchedHeart put her voice in high-pitched mode as she said this, levitating a yellow and pink pegesus plushie above Firefly's head. Firefly gasped in excitement, grabbing the plushie and holding it close to her chest.

"Thanks mama!" She yelled, throwing the teddy in the air and catching it again.

Nightlight came out of the kitchen with a massive bruise on his face. Seeing this, Firefly sat up and carefully watched her father exchange a friendly conversation with her mother.

"Does it hurt?" StitchedHeart asked.

"Not really." Nightlight laughed. "We really need to be more careful next time."

"What happened?" Firefly yelped, hiding behind her 'Butterfly' plushie.

"Oh, daddy just fell down the stairs, honey." Nightlight responded. "Nothing serious."

Firefly chuckled. "Silly daddy!"

Nightlight had to have a bag full of ice on his face all day. StitchedHeart allowed Firefly to go out again, as long as she stayed away from other fillies. Firefly had secretly joined the Cutiemark Crusaders, in hopes that they would help her find her cutiemark. She didn't really know why her parents told her to stay away from fillies. Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell seemed nice.
