"Come on friends, let's all huddle together in this spot," Fluttershy began counting all her animals, one by one. She had every type of animal possible! Ducks, birds, bunnies, mice, and everything else. "They should be here any minute with their pets. When they will come, I will make some preprations while Angel makes some yummy animal food which I prepared ingredients for. I will not be gone for very long, but if i am late, i hope you will not be upset," Fluttershy's furry friends smiled, they understood her so well, and she's very grateful for that. Seconds later, there was a knock on the friendly, cottage door.
"We're here darling!" Fluttershy opened the crooked door to uncover Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. She also noticed Oboe, Gummy, Owlicious, Tank and Winona.
"Oh hello everypony... I'm so happy you could make it! My animals are looking forward to the lessons. They can't wait to meet each one of your pets!" Fluttershy turned her head over to her lovely, harmless creatures. "Aren't they all so excited?"
"That's great Fluttershy, but Tank already knows all of your pets, so why do I have to be here?" Questioned Rainbow Dash with a confused face. "I mean, I got him from your stacks of animals,"
"Well you see, you have had Tank for a long time, and some new creatures arrived at my house," Fluttershy answered hopefully, she did not have time for more questions. She had to start the process as fast as possible.
"Um, I don't sense any new animals around," squeaked Pinkie. Fluttershy decided to not answer so the yellow, kind pony carried on walking, inviting all her other pony friends inside. She walked through her main room, containing all of the pets. There were many. Some had to be over at the kitchen because the main room is full!
"It's so lovely here Fluttershy. I think befriending Owlicious with every animal here provides a great experience for us all," said the smart and intelligent Twilight Sparkle, looking around Fluttershy's mainroom and inside all door frames. She took notice of each painting and each animal.
"Well thank you Princess, if I can call you that..?" Twilight threw a little laugh and nodded.
"It looks very... plain in some places. I would change up the curtains. I can make some for you when I go back!" Rarity exclaimed.
"I think it's the perfect environment for a group of very cute pets," said Applejack honestly. She fixed her hat, pet Winona and continued following Fluttershy.
Fluttershy noticed everyone had started looking around nervously. Why?
"Fluttershy? What's wrong with your m-mane and tail, s-sugarcube?" Applejack glared anxiously at every frame of Fluttershy's movement. Fluttershy realised she was beginning to corrupt. She fixed her now shaggy mane and tail, smiled at Applejack, and started trotting. It was too early... Fluttershy decided to hurry it up.
"All of the preparations will take place upstairs, so place your pets on the ground and we will be back in no time," explained Fluttershy. "Angel, would you be so kind to make some tea for me, if you don't mind? This might take longer than expected..."
"Fluttershy, why'd you close the door?" Applejack paced in one spot, she looked uncomfortable. "What kind of preperations do we have to help with?"
"Well, you dont have to do much. I don't want you to do much work, after all, this is your free time. Here, have some apple juice," said Fluttershy.
Fluttershy's room was very dark. The curtains were closed, and the curtains were black. You saw nothing because of the darkness, and it began making everypony uncomfortable, but escape was not an option since the door was pure locked. There was a small vanity with cabinets. On the green vanity stood glass bottles with apple juice. There were five bottles, one for each pony. After a while, Angel rushed in with a cup of tea for Fluttershy, then hurried downstairs to attend the other animals, before rushing back to the kitchen to make different kinds of animal food from the ingredients and written instructions set out on the table. The ponies, not trying to sound rude, did not hesitate the apple juice. It was alright for about ten seconds, however the ponies felt dizzy after that. With no previous warning, they fell to the ground asleep. Fluttershy smiled when she realised how gullible every pony was for her plan. She decided to continue.
The ponies awoke. A bare, yellow light illuminated the five, making them feel absolutely petrified. Rarity glared at the smooth, brown leather straps holding her in place. Her and Twilight attempted to make use of their magic, but it was failure. The 'apple juice' sure tasted like it, but performed other acts. Rainbow Dash tried to fly out of it, and Applejack used her strength to loosen the straps, but no could do. The only freedom they had in their posession was sight. Their mouths were taped shut with sticky, black industrial-sized duct tape.
Rarity began to sob in the muffled sounds the duct tape made, and Pinkie's mane ironed down onto her shoulder. She couldn't laugh, or move in excitement, she collapsed. Everypony looked at each other, hoping it was all a nightmare, but it surely was nothing that Twilight had read about. The vertical, wide wooden slabs they were plastered on became heavy on their hearts, they began to lose severe faith and nopony could do anything to stop the massacre.
Fluttershy entered the dull, victim-filled room. She smiled proudly.
"Hnngh... hmmmfghh..." The ponies tried to speak, but the sound was muffled and unclear.
"I forgot to mention this is a part of the preperations... see these little stitched dolls?" Fluttershy picked up five handmade dolls, which looked exactly like the current ponies, imprisoned in Fluttershy's room. "They are nearly finished. The last thing I need for them is YOU..." Fluttershy's mane and tail became corrupt. They turned shaggy and broken, and her blue eyes vanished to uncover red eyes, staring into your soul. That wasn't all.
"Hnngh hnngh hnngh... Wahngh..." Rarity sobbed louder.
Fluttershy's torturing metal knives and equipment were layed out neatly on portable trays, new sets for all victims, with different tools for each pony which perform different jobs, suiting each pony to create the most torture for each.
Fluttershy turned on a secondary light, illuminating the first pony, closest to the bedroom door. Pinkie shut her terrified eyes calmly and as tears streamed down her face, Fluttershy's words broke her heart.
"I'll make sure noone remembers you," With that said, Fluttershy grapped an extremely sharp pocket knife she had set out on the torture tool table. "Let's get rid of this pesky thing, shall we?!" Nopony had any time to think or react, because half a second later Fluttershy stabbed the killer knife into Pinkie Pie's side. Fluttershy carefully and slowly circled the triple balloon cutiemark with the sharpness of her blood-stained knife. Pinkie Pie started sobbing, yelling at Fluttershy telling her to stop, but nothing could be heard under the strong glue of the waterproof duct tape. Nopony could do anything to stop the torture of their best friend, they could only watch and cry. They couldn't even hide their face or close their ears - they had no freedom whatsoever.
Blood gushed as Fluttershy ripped the cutie mark out of Pinkie Pie's bloodied side. Fluttershy carefully put the stained cutie mark on her desk, beside the Pinkamena doll. She wasn't finished though. She walked back over to Fluttershy where she grabbed a steel saw.
"With this, you can say goodbye to your frazzled and annoying mane and tail, Pinkie," warned Fluttershy. With no further warnings given, she practically threw the saw at Pinkie's mane. And Fluttershy didn't aim at her mane, oh no. She aimed at the top of her head, and as her sawed her old best friends forehead off, Pinkie gave off her last scream as blood spilled from under the glues of the duct tape, until her head dropped low, motionless... All you could hear was the thick droplets spilling over the wooden floor, clotting slowly as they fell. Twilight dispensed tears as she watched her love have her final breaths.
