Life of a Pie
Part 4: The Pastry Ponies
Previous ChapterPinkie Pie patiently waited for her new victim to wake up. The filly's name was Magic Burst. She had green eyes, a purple mane and tail, blue fur, and a cutie mark of three simple dark blue stars.
Pinkie Pie's torture table was a large plank of splintery wood big enough to hold an adult pony. There were leather straps to hold the wrists and ankles. She figured out that she could attach some twine to nails that were pushed into each corner of the table to hold foals. So far she had never killed an adult, so she always had to use the twine. She was thinking about making a separate table for fillies and colts.
This was the third pony she had killed, the first one being an earth pony and the second being a
Pegasus. They had all been fillies with cutie marks. She had come up with a killing method. First, cut off the cutie marks. If the victim didn't have a cutie mark, you had to pretend there was one and cut out a small circle of flesh.
Second, if they were a Pegasus, you'd cut off their wings. Pinkie always spent this particular part of the playdate to torture the pony. It was her favorite part of the whole thing. Once she got bored of the torture, Pinkie decided to wrap things up and cut an I-shaped incision down the pony's abdomen so she could take all their guts out one by one and place them on a metal tray for later.
So far, Pinkie Pie didn't have any assistants and didn't plan on getting any. Once she met a pony, she would knock them out to take them to her basement, as long as nopony saw her. If something serious like that were to happen, Pinkie Pie would be in serious trouble.
Pinkie decided that once she killed this unicorn, she would start killing ponies around the rock farm before she moved to Ponyville and start killing innocent ponies there. Some ponies actually deserved the torture like Pinkie's mother and Glittersong. Kinkie Pie could be pretty mean, too...
Maud and Kinkie were five years apart, and Pinkie Pie was born a year and a day later than Kinkie Pie. Nopony suspected anything since they were sisters. Right now, Pinkie Pie and Kinkie Pie were only eight and nine.
Right as her victim was waking up, Pinkie Pie nearly jumped out of her own fur when she heard the quiet footsteps of a foal. "Hello?" It was Kinkie Pie. This would be the perfect opportunity to kill another earth filly.
"Pinkie Pie, is that you?" Kinkie Pie asked. "Mama wants you to come home for dinner." Pinkie Pie quickly stood up and threw her arms out to hide her victim. "Heeeey, what are you hiding?" Kinkie asked, walking up to her younger sister and trying to look over her arms and around her head.
"Hnngh...Where am I?" Magic Burst asked. Kinkie Pie jumped up and caught a glance of her sister's victim. "Why is she strapped down to that big piece of wood?" Pinkie Pie's eyes widened and her mane deflated as she scrunched up her nose. "I...She..." she began, but then took a deep breath and dropped to her knees before she started talking very fast. "You, Maud, Ma nor Pa wanted to be happy anymore so I went insane. I found a way to control my insanity and this is only my third victim! I even have a torture method! I also bake my victims into cupcakes, organs and all! Please don't tell anypony!"
Magic Burst began sobbing immediately. "You're going to kill me?!" she said, almost angrily. Kinkie Pie stared up at her. "Yes. And I am, too." she replied, shocking both fillies. Pinkie Pie's mane immediately poofed up. "You're gonna help me?" she asked breathlessly, a smile slowly spreading across her pink face. Kinkie Pie nodded with a grin. "Of course!" she said. "So, how do you start your torture method?"
Pinkie squealed with joy before calming down and explaining everything to her sister. "Whoa, awesome!" Kinkie said with a laugh as Pinkie Pie handed her a scalpel. "You really thought that out, didn't you?" The whitish blue earth filly noticed the horn of the trembling Magic Burst.
"You sure she won't escape?" asked Kinkie Pie in concern. "Unicorns know all sorts of freaky magic, and most of them learn pretty quickly. Hey, maybe we can use a hacksaw to cut off her horn!" Pinkie Pie trotted over to a small chest full of extra tools to grab her hacksaw. She had cut herself once when she was killing her first victim, trying to look for the knife.
"Maybe you could try putting the tools you use most on your little organ tray," Kinkie Pie suggested. "You could put the organs in a metal bucket instead." Pinkie Pie held up the hacksaw and set it on the floor behind her before closing the chest's lid. "Hmm...That's not a bad idea." she said, picking up the hacksaw and walking over to her sister and their victim.
Pinkie bit her lip, horizontally lining up the middle of the horn with the middle of the hacksaw's blade. She began sawing and immediately gasped and stopped when Magic Burst began wailing and screaming in pain.
The Pies' ears perked up. "We're definitely doing that to future unicorns when they're still asleep." Kinkie Pie said, taking the hacksaw from her nervous sister. Ignoring the loud noise, she sawed through Magic Burst's horn. Pinkie and Kinkie watched the severed horn fall to the floor with a clink. The only noise now was Magic's heavy breathing.
"So..." Kinkie Pie hesitantly began, laying the hacksaw on Pinkie Pie's clean organ tray. "The cutie
marks are next, yes?" Pinkie smiled, trotting over to the tool chest to get the scalpel. She grinned as she cut a circle around Magic Burst's left cutie mark, making her whine and tear up.
"Y'know," Pinkie said. "It's kinda fun workin' with you. I always saw you as just a really mean pony that nobody liked. You have so many great ideas and I've never had any assistants before, so I'm proud to call you my first!" Before she handed her sister the scalpel to do the other cutie mark, they shared a hug.
"You're not so bad yourself, Pinkamena," Kinkie Pie said, jabbing the scalpel into Magic Burst's side and causing her to let out a sharp yelp. "Er, Pinkie Pie. Heh. I'd love to work with you from now on!" Pinkie clapped in joy.
"Hey, what do we do with the cutie marks again?" asked Kinkie, holding up the mark she had cut out. Pinkie froze. She hadn't yet thought about what to do with the cutie marks. She just liked the designs and decided to save them! "Um..." she started, her mind legitimately blank. "We...c-could..." Then, a great idea popped into her mind. "We could turn them into clothes once we get enough!" she squealed.
"That's genius!" Kinkie Pie said. "I never would've thought of that! But sadly, we'll have to only wear them in here or ponies will start to get sups-ishish." Pinkie Pie's lip trembled in fake sadness. "Yeah..." she said sadly before immediately perking up. "Wait! I just remembered! This is the fun part, and my personal favorite."
Kinkie Pie grinned, but then turned her gaze toward the trembling Magic Burst. Kinkie filled her expression with pure insanity and malice, narrowing her eyes and grinning wide. Pinkie Pie hopped over to the tool chest. "I do that all the time!" she squeaked. "Maybe now we
can call it 'The Pie Sisters Grin'! What do you think?"
Kinkie Pie nodded enthusiastically. "Anyway, this is the torture part," said Pinkie. "What do you think we should do first?" This snapped Kinkie Pie out of her thoughts. "Well...I've always wanted to break a pony's wrist." she replied. Pinkie Pie smiled.
"Go ahead! Knock yourself out." she said cheerfully, and lifted Kinkie Pie up onto the torture table after turning it horizontal with the rusty metal lever. Kinkie Pie pressed her hooves hard onto Magic Burst's right wrist, attempting to break it. "It's not working..." she complained, letting Magic's hoof turn from bruise purple back to light blue again. She stood up and began stomping on Magic Burst's hoof, angrily trying to shatter the bone.
Magic Burst let out a squeal of horror and pain right after Kinkie and Pinkie heard a barely audible crack. The sisters looked at each other in shock. "Holy cupcakes, you did it!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly. Magic Burst whimpered in pain, pulling her ears back. Kinkie Pie grinned. "Hey, Pinkie," she began. "Have you come up with a way you're gonna get the pony?" Pinkie looked at her. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"I mean like...a system! For future victims," Kinkie answered, and Pinkie Pie shook her head. "Maybe, we could draw numbers. We could write the pony's name on a little piece of paper with a number next to it."
"Oh, yes!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, bouncing up and down. "We also need a way to tell if they're a foal and what species they are." Kinkie shrugged.
"Colored lines, maybe?" she asked. "We could also put the papers in one of Mama's little straw baskets. We might write all this down on a piece of paper to hang over the basket so we won't forget."
"Oh my Celestia, I love your ideas!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, bouncing around the room. Kinkie Pie grinned. "Then it's settled." she said.
Magic Burst wiggled around, trying to get out of her bonds. "Just let me out already, you stupid brats!" she exclaimed. Pinkie Pie narrowed her eyes, but she continued smiling. "Not with that attitude." she said. She grabbed a pair of pliers from the tool chest. "W-What are you doing?" Magic asked, becoming extremely scared. "W-What are you going to do?" Pinkie grinned, standing up to reach Magic Burst's face.
"Your struggling only makes it more fun!" the pink earth filly said, holding up the pliers to Magic's mouth. "Kinkie, hold her mouth open." Kinkie Pie leaped up onto the torture table to force and keep Magic Burst's jaws open with her hooves. The petrified unicorn filly whined in a high pitched tone when Pinkie Pie clasped the pliers around one of her front teeth. Magic nearly passed out when Pinkie spoke. "We're gonna play dentist! Hee-hee! Do you value your teeth?"
"Nooo!" Magic squealed around Kinkie's hooves, squeezing her eyes shut tight. Magic Burst yelped sharply in pain when Pinkie Pie pulled out each of her teeth with a quick jerk of the pliers. "That's good!" Pinkie said nonchalantly, acting as if Magic had actually answered her question. "Because I know somepony who does more!" She made a squee noise.
The Pie sisters watched each of the snow-white pony teeth fell to the floor with a tink. By the end, Magic Burst was a whimpering, crying mess. Pinkie Pie giggled maniacally. "D-Do you enjoy other ponies' pain, y-you psychopath?!" Magic Burst sobbed with a sniffle. Pinkie smiled. "Of course I do!" she laughed nonchalantly. "Why else do you think I'd be doing this?"
Magic Burst spit the blood out of her mouth. "Have you ever wanted to see your teeth?" Pinkie Pie asked, cupping her hooves after she picked up some of Magic's teeth. "I like your teeth, they're super pretty. I even might make a necklace out of them."
"You should make a necklace out of unicorn horns, too!" Kinkie Pie said. "You can add it to your first cutie mark outfit!" Pinkie made a squee noise. "I should, I should!" she squealed. "Magic Burst's teeth and horn will be the first part of the necklaces!"
Magic Burst sobbed, pulling her ears back and closing her eyes. "Have you ever thought about the eyes?" asked Kinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie gasped excitedly, running over to the tool chest to grab a knife. She forced Magic Burst's left eyelids open and began cutting out her eye. "AAAH!" Magic screamed. "Stop, stop! Please stop! Just fucking stop!"
"Ooh, what a potty mouth!" Kinkie Pie said, half paying attention to her sister pulling the eyeball out of their victim's eye socket. "We'll have to do something about that." Since the optic nerve wasn't too damaged, Burst could still see Pinkie Pie even if she closed her good eye. Her vision was a little off, but it felt as if she was seeing Pinkie in a nightmare sort of realm.
"Have you ever wanted to see yourself without using a mirror?" Pinkie Pie asked, turning Magic Burst's eye around to her own face. "Hee-hee! How's it look, Bursty?" She used the scalpel to cut around and out the optic nerve. "Perhaps we'll have to take her tongue out, too!" she said, cleaning off the knife with a small piece of what looked like grey pony flesh.
Magic Burst trembled, trying once again to break out of her bonds. "SOMEPONY HELP!" she screamed, but Pinkie giggled. The pink earth filly grabbed some pliers. "I made this place soundproof!" she laughed. "Helpful, no?"
"No!" Magic Burst whined. Kinkie Pie forced the unicorn victim's jaws open. "Well, I think it is." Pinkie Pie said, pulling at Magic's tongue with the pliers. Magic Burst began sobbing loudly when Pinkie Pie sliced through her tongue with the scissors. "This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't swore at us!" sang Pinkie with a grin.
Pinkie Pie set her tools on the new 'Tool Tray' and looked at her sister. "Should we finish up?" she asked. Kinkie Pie nodded. Pinkie Pie filled a syringe with her special numbing medicine and injected it into Magic's chest.
Pinkie grabbed the knife again and Kinkie watched carefully as she cut two short-ish lines on Magic Burst's abdomen, one just below her ribcage and one just above her crotch, connecting them with a cut down the middle. She opened up the flaps to reveal her organs. "Ooh!" Kinkie Pie said in awe as Pinkie Pie began taking out the organs one by one.
Kinkie watched to see if her sister had some sort of pattern so she could learn it herself. For only being eight years old, Pinkie Pie was pretty smart and skilled. Placing the heart in the bucket, Pinkie Pie looked up at her and her sister's work. "You're not a bad assistant." Pinkie said, looking over at Kinkie Pie. They high-hoofed, but froze as they heard the hoofsteps of a foal. Kinkie Pie motioned for Pinkie Pie to be quiet before they hid behind a small table.
Maud Pie looked around the room in awe. "Wow, I respect whoever made this..." she said softly, and Pinkie and Kinkie looked at each other in shock. "I wouldn't mind helping them."
"M-Maud..." Kinkie Pie said slowly, stepping up from behind the table. "W-We did this..." As Kinkie Pie helped Pinkie get up, Maud turned around to face her younger sisters. "You did this?" the grey 14-year-old filly asked. "This... This is awesome!" Her exclamation made Pinkie and Kinkie flinch.
"Yeah!" Kinkie Pie said with a laugh. "Do you wanna help us kill our next pony? We can call ourselves...The Pastry Ponies! The Pastry Pies? Nah, I like Pastry Ponies better."
Maud grinned. "Sure!" she answered. "Who is it?" Kinkie Pie smiled awkwardly. "We haven't drawn out our number system yet," she began. "But you can help us and pick out our next pony!"
Maud smirked, pulling back an ear. "Absolutely. Now what's your torture method?"
