Pulling Heartstring'sby FluttershoutliciousChaptersSearch For Ruby pt.1Search For Ruby pt.2Help NeededBlood and WaterRevalations and HomeSearch For Ruby pt.1THE SEARCH FOR RUBY Ponyvile was in a uproar the whole atmosphere was electric for one it of its young fillies have gone missing and not a trace of her could be found. Princess Twilight Sparkle was in the center of the mayhem, a crowd of concerned ponies which looked on to her for direction in the search for Ruby Pinch. "Alright everypony I have talked to Berry Punch as to were her daughter might be!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed " So far the places and areas she might be at would be picking apples at Sweet Apple Orchard, playing with the animals around Fluttershy's cottage, or....." Twilight paused and took a deep breath for telling the ponies the other place Ruby Pinch might be "... or wondering around the entrance to the Everfree forest ....from what her mother told me she loves the flowers that grow along there. " " She might have wondered into the forest too so in that case I have wrote a letter to Princess Celestia to as we should proceed when it comes to going into such a dangerous place." Twilight held back her worry as she spoke the last part. The Everfree forest was a dangerous place Ruby could have been grabbed by something or have gotten hurt by just being near the forest. But she held hope that the first two areas of search would bring the little filly home. They still had plenty of day light left it was only a few hours after noon and Twilight promised herself that Ruby Pinch would be home safe before the sunset. " Applejack !" called Twilight A orange pony with blone hair topped with a tan cowboy hat stepped from the crowd " Yes, Twilight?" " I need you, your family , Miss Cheerlie, and ..... " Twilight took a second to think if she needed any more ponies to search the apple orchard , one more couldn't hurt she decided. " You, Bon Bon !" Twilight said with a burst while pointing at the white pony with blue and pink hair. Bon Bon looked slightly startled by Twilight's sudden outburst, and surprised that she actually knew her name since she very rarely associated with her. " Yes Princess Twilight?" " I want you to go with the Apple family I know you and Lyra are familiar with Berry Punch and Ruby" Bon-Bon nodded her head before a mint green unicorn with white highlights in her mane popped right beside her. It was Lyra Heartstrings Bon-Bon marefreind. Lyra had a reputation of being a bit odd, obsessive, and emotional. Twilight from what she read about pony mood disorders would have diagnosed her as bi-polar. "Oh OH! " Lyra exclaimed with a hoof waveing in the air and bounceing as if this was not a serious form of business but as if she wanted to picked for a team in a game. " Yes Lyra ..." Twilight said hesitantly " I belive I should be part of the team that search's near the Everfree forest I myself have been the forest searching for creatures with hands that have five digits and walk on two legs like your pet dragon Spike there!" Lyra hyperactively explained with great enthusiasm. Bon-Bon just stood beside her and smiled and shook her head and then just looked at Twilight as if trying to signal to " let her down" nicely. Twilight just lowed her head and thought for a second to think before opening her muzzle to reply. " I like that idea very much even though I do not agree with your habit of searching the Everfree forest numerous times , I do need somepony who is familiar to a degree of the forest." Lyra smiled a big joyful smile while Bon-Bon eyes just filled with shock and concern " What! You are knowingly allowing my marefreind to search in the EVERFREE FOREST!" Bon -Bon shouted Before Twlight could reply Lya did it for her. " Oh come on sweetie you know I go into the Everfree forest all the time " " Yah! Without my knowledge or consent!" " Huff ! When do you I need your consent to do anything Im a fully grown mare you know!" " Since you brought home a small dead creature with two legs, hands, AND also most got shocked by lighting because you wanted to bring it back to life! Like you read in one of your stupid scary book's only to find out it was a breezy who got mauled to death !" " I THOUGHT I DISCOVERED A NEW BIPEDIAL ANIMAL THAT I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE SO IT WOULD NOT GO EXTINCT AND DISCOVER AT THE SAME TIME HOW TO REVIVE THE DEAD! IT WAS WORTH A SHOT!!!" " Yah and you almost got the SH....." " GIRLS GIRLS!" Twlight intervended " I would never send a pony into a dangerous environment with out proper protection Princess Celestia is sending help as we speak. Though I would appreciate it if Lyra went with the search party because the little filly ( as far as I know ) is good friends with the mother and knows Lyra " " I also babysit Pinchy on occasions too !" Twilight closed her eyes and pointed her hoof towards the crowd " Exactly! We need somepony who Ruby Pinch would come too if she see's or hear's them" Then as if on queue a bright shiny chariot appeared in the blue sky with blinding glow. Twilight steadily opened her eyes just as a golden chariot appeared in the shine of the sun " Dear and faithful Twilight I am here to help in the search. " Princess Celestia breathed as she stepped graciously out of the chariot. Everyone in attendance bowed even Twilight, "even though she was a Princess herself.'" " Rise." The sun princess said with kindness then looked at Twilight " And Miss Twilight Sparkle you should know better than to bow to me we are now happily equals " she added with a chuckle. Twilight chuckled back " I know but old habits die hard ... but any hoof we have formulated search parties and we need some more support when searching the Everfree Forest could we use some of you guards to do so, please." Twilight seemed kind of cautious bout asking the last part but already knew the answer the situation and trying to keep herself from over thinking made it hard for her not to be a little timid. Celestia just eyed her for a second and the then with her head tilted up replied " Twilight I did not come all the way to just send my guards to help while I watch, I myself I find it in the best interest if I joined the Everfree forest search party." A walleyed grey pony bounded out of the crowd and shouted with glee, " WOW ! Did you hear that Berry Punch Princess Celestia is gonna help us find Ruby this is so great I could...." before the blonde walleyed pony could finish she ran into a lamppost. The Princess winced before taking a look at the pegasus to see if she was ok then walking over to dark pink pony who was in the fetal postion crying. Celestia raised a wing over Berry Punch " Don't worry my little pony everything shall be fine just have faith.... " Berry looked up at her in which Celesti nuzzled her then whisperd ".... I will do everything in my power to bring her home" And with that stood up and addressed Twilight. " Twilight I am taking one of my guards with me into the Everfree forest, who else do you have going in to forest ?" Twilight smiled nervously and then answered " Well... Miss Lyra Heartstring will be since she unconventionally knowledgeable of the Everfree forest and knows the filly very well." " Fine that's acceptable, so please introduce me to this mare" " That would be me your highness!" the mint green Lyra ran up eagerly to the Princess " I am Lyra Heartstring full time musician , part time bi-ped enthusiast and researcher." Princess just looked at the perky smiling mare then smiled back. " Also if I may add if we are in the forest and find hoof prints that are large and appears to walk on two legs. Please let me know, uhhh... that is after finding Ruby obviously ." Lyra added with just a frown at the end. Princess Celestia just nodded and smiled before leaning over to Twilight and quietly said " Make that two guards. " Author's Note I know my grammar might not be the best so please leave help with that if you find any mistakes.... but be nice bout it I do not like negative constructive criticism Search For Ruby pt.2The Search for Ruby pt.2 Upon entering the forest Celestia split them up into teams. One team were the two guards the other was Celestia and Lyra. Celestia thought it would be best to stay with the light green pony, since she was not a trained royal guard or a alicorn princess. As they trudged through they kept their eyes on the trees and the path hoping to catch a glance of Ruby Pinch. " Ruby! Ruby! Ruby Pinch! " called the princess. " Pinchy ! Pinchy! Come out now its me Lyra ! bellowed Miss Heartstrings. " ...if you do me and Bon-Bon will play Princess Ruby with you! " Lyra turned around bashfully and looked at alicorn right behind her, who just smiled at the last comment. " She likes pretend she is a Princess too, she has a toy set of a unicorn horn and wings. Then sometimes when she is really good Bon-Bon makes her some chocolate coconut bars and I play her some songs on my lyre. Ha! she pretends she is in a royal court while she eats and listens" Lyra reminisced. " She is such a good little happy filly , but when I see her ! Im gonna ...." Lyra stopped herself all that, if Ruby was near and heard her yell about playing " Princess" she would dart out immediately. Worry broke her high spirited personality her face broke and her breathing started to rapidly accelerate. Sensing Lyra distress Princess Celestia put her pure white wing around Lyra. " Don't worry my little pony, remember she might not be in earshot or in the Everfree forest. We got to keep hope in our hearts and carry on. Every second we take is a second closer to finding Miss Ruby Pinch" Lyra looked up with a tear in her left eyeand smiled then quickly nuzzled Princess Celestia which only made her smile back. The with a jump back Lyra exclaimed " Come on Princess ! Lets go bring Ruby Pinch home!" ****************************** The search went on till Luna raised her moon. Princess Celestia made sure to write a letter explain were she was at and why it was important that she stay out even later. Glancing at Lyra she could tell the mare was getting disheartened, mainly because she stop calling for the missing filly about twenty minutes to go. BUt she still trudged on knowing anything could pop out at any moment and sadly they wouldn't find Ruby or worst. The thought made Celestia shudder which in turn made Lyra look at the Princess. " Princess, are you okay?" " I'm fine though I feel we are not covering much ground. The other are not doing so well in finding here ether or we would have seen blue flare light up the sky indicating the found her in good shape" Lyra's eye grew wide and then she sat on her hind legs and had her front hooves in front of her shaking. " .....And if she is not found okay?" the green mare asked while trembling the words. " The a red flare would.." the white alicorn sighed with putting her head down. Lyra jumped at the reply. " Well then okay we need too split up cover more ground and like FAST ?" she loudly stammered with a shout. Celestia looked upon the worried mare with stern eyes. Even though she was right they would cover more ground but she could not bring herself to send a regular unicorn out in the forest with out proper protection. Then the thought of a poor pink little filly scared and alone hit her. She sighed again and though to herself " Well one of the reason she is with me searching was because she had knowledge of the Everfree Forest." " Alright but if you run into any trouble send up a red flare with your horn" Celestia the paused ".... you do know how to do that ?" " Uh yah I was in your school for gifted unicorn" Lyra replied back with a coy smirk and a raise of her hoof. Princess Celestia smiled " Alright then you search the east and I will search the west." " Gotcha!" Lyra acknowledge with a quirk of her head and then went on her way to better the search for Ruby Pinch. Celestia then turned and went the other way. After going about a few feet she then turned her head to were Lyra was before. " I hope everything will be alright." ******************************* Lyra Heartstrings trudged through the dark dank woods. Her and Celestia began the search with just rounding the edge's of the forest but as the day progress they had went deeper, when they separated though they had gone farther than mile in. The curious mare in the past went deeper into the woods but not at night. " Pinchy ..... Come out dear." Lyra whispered as to not attract the creatures that lurked within the Everfree Forest. Sweat from worry and fear rolled down Lyra's muzzle. Images of Ruby Pinch ran through her head, her poor scared sobbing under a branch or something. Just sitting there hoping to be helped. Tears rolled down her eyes, seeing as her and Bon-Bon were not cable of having a child of there own, Ruby was like an adopted one to Lyra Or at most a niece seeing as much as she babysat her while her mom was working at the punch bar. Even when her mom was not working Berry, Derpy, Dr. Whooves, and Golden Harvest would always do something like go on a picnic or just have a get together at one their places. Most of all Berry would always bring Ruby and Derpy would always bring Dinky, and Lyra would smile watching Derpy coddle Dinky and when Ruby would even get close enough to " Derp" and " Dink's" cuddling session Derpy would snatch her up and do the same to her. Berry would just smirk happily "of course" and sip her wine. Berry Punch at the moment was indeed at the moment wallowing in grief and worry. She didn't look it especially with her known love of alcohol that Berry was indeed a very protective mother. Outside of work she only visited with her named friends because they were the only ones she really trusted to be around her daughter. Shakily Lyra went on into the forest she was going to what appeared to be a pond in the middle of the forest. Lyra gazed upon the shore as she approached closer to the body of water. It was nice calm and serene the moon glazed the surface with a shine. Reaching the shore she took a breath and just took in the scenery, today has been a troublesome day and even though it was not over yet she need a "breath" from it all. Letting her head turn to the side to look upon it all, she saw what appeared to be a "bulge" ruffling the lake a little. Being curious she got closer to see what it was. She walked curiously to the object in the pond and when she was in front of it and on the shore she noticed she had to go some feet into the water. Lyra turned her head down and put a hoof into the coast of the pond to see how cold it was. It did have a chill in it but it was not bad enough to hinder Lyra's curiosity, Lyra quickly trudged through the bit chilly water keeping her eyes on the object in the lake. She would have brushed it off as a log, a big piece of drift wood at first but as she got a few feet into the pond it appeared to have color to it. Looking back at the coast and seeing it was not far away and the water was only pass her hooves. Lyra decided there was no harm in seeing what this weird thing was in the water. She only had a couple feet to go so she non- knowingly went to were it was. At first look it appeared to be nothing just a bundle of leaves wrapped around something .....Lyra couldn't tell what it was. Then she stuck her nose closer. Her head went up in a jerk, her eyes seemed to want to bust out of her head, and her mouth trembled . What she seen put her in a petrified state of being a only tremble rocked her body. Then like a bomb a big burst erupted from her horn and shot right to the center of the night sky and exploded and light up the night as if it was daytime. " CELESTIA!!!! CELESTIA!!!! CELESTIA!!!! CELESTIA!!! " Miss Heartstrings bellowed for right under her muzzle was the pink filly wrapped up in string of pond weeds that once was Ruby Pinch. Author's Note WOW even for me that was dramatic to write I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry about not having it posted sooner things in life have been dramatic too. Once again you see anything grammar wise please let me know this is one of the first stories I have posted public. And ...I could use a little bit of constructive critic in a appropriate manner. Give me some time readers for the next chapter being a clay figurine maker, writing short horror stories, and now looking for a job can be time consmeing but this story will be seen through till the end and it never leaves my mind ether just Ill have it up asap Plz like it u like and dislike it u like Help Needed"Lyra!" Bon-Bon yelled as she saw Lyra walking towards the center of town. She could not see the distraught look on her face but it became clearer as she got closer. " Whats........" The white colored mare stopped as she saw Princess Celestia walking and levitating in a gold aura a small bundle. The Princess had her head down and tears leaking down from her eyes. Ponies started to gather around as Celestia approached, curious looks were on there faces but soon were replaced with shock as they saw what the bundle was. " Pinchy !" bellowed Berry Punch as she made her way through the crowd. The gold aura slowly lowered towards the ground . Berry cowered to the bundle and started to nudge Ruby Pinch " Come on hunny wake up wake up" An a emotional Berry Punch the rose up " RUBY MERLOT PUNCH YOU WAKE UP THIS INSTANCE THIS AINT FUNNY !" When she didn't Berry lowered herself again and whimpered " Please..." " I'm sorry my little pony but she is gone.." Princess Celelstia said as she wrapped a wing around Berry Punch. The dark pink mare then reeled up her legs and bucked Celestia in the chest as if Celestia insulted her badly. The Princess ( who was only moveda few inch's from the buck) put a hoof up to halt the advancing guards. She then slowly went up to the mare who bucked her. Berry stared at her the realization of what she did made her heart race and worry showed on her face. Tears welling in her eyes she finally let out a heart breaking wail. The white alicorn put her wing around Berry Punch again and let the dark pink mare cry her eyes out in her coat. Bon-Bon who was looking at Berry Punch vent her sadness, she tearfully turned to Lyra. The light green mare was in a state of shock she was shaking, her eyes were wide, and deathly silent. " Lyra hunny are you okay?" she knew it was a dumb quest to ask but it was the only thing she would think to say. " Do you wanna go home and get some rest?" Still nothing Lyra just remained in the same state. Bon- Bon did the only thing she could do and put her arms around her. The mint green mare instantly started to cry in her coat, Bon- Bon patted her back and held her. " Bon-Bon...." " Yes Lyra..." " I found her .... she was soo... pale , still and ... and " Lyra stopped herself she could not muster the rest of the sentence, she went back to sobbing in her mare freind's coat. " Oh Lyra..." Bon-Bon sighed and closed her eyes and let Lyra cry. "How is she?" Bon-Bon tuned to see Princess Celestia looking at them with concern. " I don't know when I first came to her she could not stop shaking and now she wont stop sobbing I don't blame her though " Bon- Bon explained. Celestia nodded her head " Bon- Bon Lyra I sent Berry punch to a facility called Clopping Hooves it is a place were they treat traumatic mental anguish.." Celestia paused " ... I think it would be best for Lyra would go to" " No!" Lyra blurted out " I've been to one of those places before they lock you up, there is hardly no sunlight , the group sessions are boring as tarturus, and their food is bad." " I assure you Clopping Hooves is a hospital that group sessions are both fun and helpful along with various other exercises and their menu of various nutritional choices can be taken outside in the picnic area. It is tight locked but for safety reasons but after three days you may leave if you may." Celestia said trying to sound convincing to the green mare. Lyra with her head down looked at Bon-Bon. " Bon-Bon..." " Lyra dear " the milk colored mare walked over " I think it would be best for you they could help you get through this , if not you will go and probably drink yourself to death thinking about it all. I don't want to see that happen I love you." Bon-Bon then hugged her. " I want to see you okay." Bon-Bon had her hoof under Lyra chin and looked in her eyes pleading she would make the right choice. Lyra just stared back grasping what she heard, thoughts swam through her head. Untill she made up her mind . " Fine I'll do it" Lyra said with her head down. Celestia walked up behind her " I knew you would make the right move I've seen many ponies in the same situation and this is the right move. If you would just follow me I will get escort you there" Lyra nodded then looked up to her mare friend " Will you come see me ?" Bon-Bon chuckled " Of course I will babe." " Everyday?" " Everyday I promise." the white mare smiled and then gave her a peck on the lips. The mint green started to tear up she then tuned to follow Celestia. Blood and Water6 Weeks Later Lyra sat on the bench breathing in fresh air. Yesterday she was released from Clopping Hooves the road to recovery from the psychological trauma she went through was tiring. The mint green mare was relived to just sit and absorb the peace that was around her at the moment. Clopping Hooves was just like the Princess said "it was helpful." She was not cooped up in a room and being mind probed by doctors. She went to the groups and learned exercises to clear her mind of negative thoughts like meditation or writing a journal of her everyday life and how she felt. Her therapist Peaceful Mind was kind and caring unlike the ones she had in the past who just wanted a paycheck or stare you down then mutter under their breath. She was a perfect in talking and listening. Lyra at first didn't know what to say she'd guess that they would begin with Ruby but when Peaceful Mind came in she plopped her pink self down and began " So what do you like Ms. Heartstrings ?" she added with a smile and propped both her hooves under her chin and rested them on her desk. That was when Lyra began talking and talking by their time together she told her everything fro humans to Bon-Bon to Ruby. She would listen to Lyra and laugh when she told her something funny to being silent and sit right beside her when they got to Ruby. Lyra also made a few friends there like Loose Screw who's story really made you think how well you have had it . Her name was a good example of how " wrong " her parents were. She confided in Lyra that she was named Loose Screw because when she was a toddler and started to stand up by herself, she use to butt her head against the bars of her play pin. Originally Her name was Silver Wave but after her parents seen what she does in the play pin they dubbed her Loose Screw, because they'd guessed " she had a screw loose." Things didn't get better for her as she got older. When she was a little filly she would pretend to be a dog. Mostly for the reason her mother Amber Wave got upset one night because their landlord wouldn't allow a dog in the house. So Loose Screw, who was " just out of diapers" and wanting more attention than what she was getting decided she would be a puppy for her mommy. This would have been fine for a couple of hours but this went on for over a dozen years. Loose Screw has been in the hospital for three years and it was not until recently that she remembered that she was a mare not a bitch. Lyra felt shock and remorse when she learned this . Loose Screw parents were drunks and negligent and were arrested on numerous charges. No pony even knew she was real, she was only allowed out at night to relive herself and and her parents had her home school and did her work for her. They wanted her to be a dog, for them it was cheaper and easier than raising a filly. The ponies that did know were the same as her parents if not worst. They found it funny and did not see the harm in a filly being raised like a dog. It was not till she got loose and and tried to bite some pony that the world knew about her and the cruel cards life dealt her. In group when the silver haired mare told her story she broke down , Lyra comforted her. Then there was Pied Hat and Dark Shade. Pied hat was a orange stallion with a green shaggy mane that always wore a hat with only but no less two colors, and the hats would come in different shapes and sizes. He was funny, quirky. and random. When Bon-Bon- visited he at first made her nervous, she even advised Lyra to stay away from him. Lyra only had two words " Pinkie Pie." They then chuckled and dropped it. From what Lyra heard from Pied Hat in group that he made his hats the old fashion way with mercury. It took a toll on him and he admitted it gave him illusions and sometimes he could not help himself. He would do something stupid because it felt right like burning down his shop or jump scare people on the street.Lyra bonded with him for he was a laugh and she needed something like that at were she was at in her mind. The way he would make her and every pony laugh was crazy and random . If it was jumping into a wall or farting in group and looking at Peaceful Mind or another nurse then exclaim " Really?!" Dark Shade was the opposite of Pied Hat. She was a 19 year old mare with a black coat and a purple long mane who tried to kill herself,this bothered Lyra deeply. She heard through the grape vine that she suffers from a major depressive disorder. Which made her moods fragile and mostly in some way depressed. Lyra had been diagnosed when she was in her teen as being bi-polar. Which means she would go from extremely happy to extremely sad. So she knew were Dark Shade was coming from. One day in group when asked why she tried to kill her self. She said it was because of her cutie mark which was a crescent moon and it shadow, she got it when she won a 12 foal hide and go seek match. Dark Shade got depressed because she felt she was always going to be in the dark. When Lyra left she told Dark Shade about the Cutie Mark Crusaders in ponyvile. She then gave Dark Shade her address, so if she wanted to arrange something with them she could get in contact with her. When Dark Shade heard this she gave Lyra a big hug and a thank you. The Lyre playing artist then said with a smile while still hugging her "If she became depressed she could write or come down anytime." Lyra being 25 and who has a similar mood disorder knew she could help the older teen out alot. Loose Screw, Pied Hat, and Dark Shade said they would write. Bon-Bon also kept her word and visited everyday and did not miss any, she owned her own store so she could and did do that. Ether in the morning or after noon she would be there everyday in 6 weeks. From ponyvile to Canterlot was a trip and back. But Bon-Bon would tell her self and Lyra " Anything for love." Which was good for Lyra ( even though they had many games, groups, and good books) would look forward to seeing her mare friend everyday. She missed her deeply when visiting hours were over. When Bon-Bon would come first thing they would do was cuddle for a half an hour both picturing they were at home in each others arms. Then they would go looking for something to do. Then they would talk bout thing going on at home. Bon-Bon would not bring up anything to do with Ruby or Berry Punch ( who was on the fourth floor of Clopping Hooves.) he would say that everything was okay or tell her some good new like Dinky Hooves getting her cutie mark That was three sparks leaving a sparkly tail. She got excited when her mom was flying and almost home from work one day and that day was the last day before she got her first ever vaction from work. Dinky with a pop and a crack transported to her mother's hooves. The cutie mark crusader say it because her destiny is magic of concerning passion and love. Since she loves her mother dearly and was passionate on spending two weeks with her straight through. They also tried to make room for games while she was there. It would be from board games to trust falling. That was Lyra's favorite to play with Bon-Bon. Because Bon -Bon would have to stand on two legs and fall back on Lyra which was on all four of her feet behind her, and sometimes she would move abd her mare friend would fall on the mat. Luckily for Lyra when visiting hours were over it was time for group then supper and by that time Lyra would be ready for bed. At first Lyra had problems sleeping because Bon-Bon was not there. The first night she even went into a panic attack and had to be given medication so she could calm down, Then the nurse had to comfort her and talk to her till she fell asleep. Lyra had grown tired of sitting and thinking about the last two weeks. She got up and started down the park she was sitting at's trail. She was by herself relived she was finally in her town the one she adopted over Canterlot as home. The day was beautiful and it was nice and warm but not hot nor any humidity in the air. It was like the day was made for her. After awhile of walking down the trail in the park Lyra hear some commotion, splashing and laughing to be exact. Lyra being the curious mare she is followed the noise. Soon she came upon "the ole swimming hole" that most ponies went to swim at. She could see from the edge of the pond area, two foals playing in the water. With her curiosity filled she started to turn back untill she heard. " Hey Snails look I'm Ruby Pinch!" Lyra could also her frantic splashing after the colt said that. Another voice chuckled " Yeah that's funny Snips, you know I bet she screamed like a baby too." " Yeah I bet she did " Snips replied with a laugh. Lyra in shock couldn't really grasp what she heard nor what to do. They didn't cover people making fun of the dead especially the a filly whom you found dead. She had to do something but she did not know what to do. The mint green mare was in an emotionally haze, the only thing she could think of was to turn around and head towards the pond even farther. When she came to were Snips and Snails were playing she stopped and looked at both of them. The grayish green colt recognized her first " Uh hi Lyra." he said timidly " You didn't see that did ja?" he asked Lyra nodded just staring at the both of them. Snails walked up to Snips's side with his head down. " Oh um please don't tell our parents they would tan our hide's " the orange colt replied. " Yeah they would tan em good too" Lyra closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment before blasting them away with her magic. Snips landed in the water while Snails landed the grass off the pond. Lyra proceeded to Snips she trudged through the water. The colt was still recovering from the blast when Lyra was standing over top of him. " Please! I'm sorry I promise I wont make fun of Ruby no more and I won't tell no pony about you blasting us! Please I just want to go home!" cried Snips. Lyra still looking down puts a hoof down on his chest, she then reach's down to Snip's forehead and bites down on his horn. He screamed in pain as Lyra does this. The pressure of Lyra's head pushes Snip's head a little deep in the water. So he wont drown holds his breath even as Lyra is biting down on his horn. Then with a jerk of her head to the left Lyra snaps Snip's horn off then throws it in the water. " Look's like Snips got snapped." Lyra said mockingly She then took a look at Snails who is slowly getting up. Lyra levitates a pond rock that was close by, she aims and throws it. With a clonk!, she hit her target Snail's head He falls to the ground with a thud. Lyra possessed by a new found sadistic rage looked down at Snips. He was lying on his back, Lyra looked down even farther to his tiny balls. " You know I bet you were planning on using these on a innocent filly." Lyra said pointing to his balls. Snips whimpered with his eyes shut. " Maybe even on Ruby, which is a joke a cute filly like that would never like a piece cow shit like you."she taunted. She put a hoof on his testicles and slowly started to push down " Owe! please stop ! " bellowed Snips. Lyra would not, she pressed down even harder, Snips chocking and crying in pain. The pressure on his sensitive parts being squished and every centimeter was pressure building pain, it was like squeezing two water balloons that were attached with nerves to the body. Then pop ! , Lyra turned his testicles into mush in his ball sack. Snips was in so much pain he threw up. " Ha ha ha now that's funny, I didn't know balls popped. I thought they just got crushed." Lyra exclaimed with a laugh. Snips was going into convulsions. " Hey stop that I'm almost done okay?!" shouted the lyreist, she added a punch in the face for good measure. She then placed her horn on Snip's throat and stabs him. The colt with scissors as his cutie mark convulsed even harder gasping for air. She then choose to end it right there. Lyra the tuned him around and held his face in the water. He struggled at first but soon mercifully went still. After finishing him off she turned to were Snails was at. Lyra trudged back through the water to the shore. The colt was still unconscious, but that didn't stop her. She got right on top of Snails, which woke him up with a gasp and started to jump up and down on him. " Stop...please stop..." he sputtered Lyra just kept on jumping with a smile on her face like a kid on a trampoline. Bones were snapping poking through his orange coat and internal organs were crushed under her weight. She jumped and jumped and jumped for a good five minutes before hopping off of him. Unfortunately Snails was still alive but choking on his own blood. At least three of his ribs were poking through his skin and he was coated in dirt. " Well I guess it's time to put that slow brain of your to a stop, you know your parents should have not ever have fucked!" Lyra then hopped onto his skull which smashed almost instantly. She burst into psychotic laughter, she laughed long and hard. She was in ecstasy, the things she had done were justify. The two colts were made fun of Ruby were dead. They should have been the one's to drown that fateful day in the Everfree forest, not Ruby. Their parents brought them into this world, Lyra took them out. That in away made them her kids, right? She looked down at Snails mutilated corpse. Lyra then grabbed him with her magic and began to walk towards Snips in the water. She also started to calm down as she approached the the dead body in the water, with Snails levitating by her side. When she reached Snips she placed Snails right beside him. Lyra stared blankly at the blood in the water. It was not as much as before she went to Snails but still enough to make it red. She gave them both a burst of magic energy to push them into deeper water. As their bodies sailed Lyra's mind was cleared, only a tiny of consciousness of what she done . But not enough to make her worry nor feel bad. Author's Note Welp I hope this chapter is too your liking I went back to my old writing style so I hope this one is more up to snuff lol I really dont like Snips or Snails so I went a little crazy with that part lol but ether comment and subscribe please Revalations and HomeAuthor's Note Well its been awhile life has been topsy turvy since July but I won't leave you hanging.

Revalations and Home Lyra trudged into town. After doing the deed of killing two colts,she washed off in the bloodless part of the river's shore.She had a blank expression on her face as she walked through town. Taking the less taken paths to get home so she wouldn't get stopped and talked to. The mare was in mood to socialize, also she might still have a little blood on her coat and she did not want anypony to see it. The distraught pony after about what seemed like hours even though it was like five minutes , finally made it to the front door of her and Bon-bon's house. " Babe where were you ? You've been gone for an hour and a half ?" asked her curious mare freind . The question snapped Lyra back into reality. "Oh, you know just went for some fresh air and sat on a bench for awhile." Lyra answered with a nervous smile. "Ahhh okay well I'm happy your back. I've just started dinner so go freshen up hun." Bon-bon said not taking her eyes off the cooking pan. Lyra walked into their bedroom then made a "beeline" towards the night stand. She opened up the one drawer on the stand on four legs and pulled out a tall clear bottle and a small shot glass. Levitating the bottle toward the glass and filling it all the way she picks it up with her hoof and down's it with a jerk of her neck. " What did I do ? " the mare said to herself. Two dead colts were now in the river because of her. She had brutally maimed and killed them. She ran towards the window to see if the royal guard were at the door, but nopony was there. Lyra took a deep breath and got herself another shot. It was a strong coconut rum her favorite , expensive since it was exported from Hoofba. The musician was only only able to get it once a year but she savored it throughout the year, it usually last about seven months. With the new circumstances she was going to splurge abit much. The aniexty was overwhelming sooner or later the bodies of the foals were going to pop up. Then it would be ruled murder or accidental, if it was ruled murder then there would be a pony hunt. Nopony would expect Lyra at first but with the advancement of crime magic there was a high chance in the green mare's head that she would be caught. " If I get caught what would they do to me ? " Lyra asked herself. There has not been a murder in Equestria in a decade and they killed that stallion and it was just one pony not a foal. " Oh my Celestia the will kill me ! " the terrified pony mentally screamed then took another shot. After the burning sensation died down in her throat she took a few deep breath's. " They were making fun of Ruby's even going as far as insulting her ." she angryily thought. " I had to do it , they were mean and cruel to a poor innocent sweet filly who drowned. THEY DESERVED TO DIE ! " Lyra gleefully thought as she smiled and cherished the idea. She then started to think deeper, like did she push them out far enough? The current would do a number on their bodies then the animals would have at them ? Lyra the shrugged the fear and aniexty off like a coat. " Should I feel guilty ?" She asked herself. The mare sat there for a second determing whether she should feel guilty. But no matter how she would rack her mind on it, she couldn't. Ruby was a sweet, caring , andncute little filly and she died cold and all alone. Why did those stupid, ugly , and annoying colts Snips and snail get to live and not Ruby. Lyra smirked " I made it right , I set the universe right . " the mint green made chuckled. The kill was so excellrating Seeing them squirm just the thought was making her body shake. Lyra talking to herself murmmerd I wish In would have took something from them a bit of horn or even a tooth. Antoken to remember today would have been great for Lyra. She would never forget, but a momento would have been nice. " Their mother's brought them into this world but I took them out. " Lyra whispered to herself. Ruby entered her mind her cold life less face was burned to it , she was the first to see into death. Now she welcomed not one but two foals this time. Just more children she saw into death. The pain she felts for Ruby was and is unbearable and it would hang like a putrid smell. The fillie's mother was still in Clopping Hooves recovering. She was going through the biggest trial of her life , learning how to live life with out her baby girl. Berry Punch might not have been the best mom mostly because of her second love alcohol , but Ruby was her first. The wine loving pony loving and care to Ruby yet she made she Her foal was disciplined and good mannered. Which was unlike Snips and Snails they had a reputation of being the town's trouble makers. Bon- Bon even had a run in with them were she had to ban the duo from her candy store for attempting to shoplift a bunch of candy. Then there was the incident last nightmare night were they" tped" ponies houses. Luckily Lyra and Bon-Bon's house was spared also lucky for them they didn't because Bon-Bon said said she make them eat the paper. What was more messed up is when some pony would goto their parents nothing would never happen. Ship's mom didn't care and Snail's parents did not believe what they were told. They in Lyra's mind deserved to loose their foals , not Berry she didn't deserve the pain.The musical pony smirked to think that now the pain Is now shared. Lyra took another shot of rum then grabbed the bottle and left room. Upon entering the kitchen and grabbing herself a glass out of the sink she settled at the table. Bon-Bon looks over at Lyra the candies mare's eye brows raised. " Looks like someone is hitting the bottle , what's up ? " Lyra nearly shrugged " Well I haven't had a drink in like six weeks so......." she dragged on. " Why not ?" She said with a goofy grin. Bon- bon smiled back " Just be careful on those meds , okay ?" The musical made rolled her eyes. Her marefreind could be so mother like sometimes , but she would never admit to secretly that caring side of the mare and unsecretly her plot. Of course Lyra being Lyra she replied and huffed " That just makes em better. " Bon-bon frowned back before turning back to her cooking. She knew she was joking but "Damn ! " did she hate Lyra joking like that. The mare finished up with her cooking pea pot pie and cheesy cauliflower. After putting it on the table for the two Lyra looked at it . She would have preferred something more simple like pizza with her coconut rum but Bon - bon almost always insisted on making a real home cook meal. Which for the fact Bon-bon even though a candy maker was a good cook, Lyra just liked junk food all the time . " Celestia do I miss pickle dogs. " Lyra commented to just annoy her mare friend. The candy mare rolled her eye balls. " I can't believe while at Clopping Hooves , that had a menu that could put most restaurants to shame. You settled for junk food. " " It's good " Lyra said through a mouth full of cauliflower. She swallowed then countered back " And that's rich coming from a candy maker ain't your whole lively hood depend on junk food. " Her mare friend glared back " Candy is a snack not a meal. " The lyre cutied mark female knowing she won this time smiled " Correction ! I did eat a flaffle pita . " Bon-bon stunned muttered " They had flaffle? " " Yup " chirped Lyra with a smirk. Bon-bon always wanted to try flaffle but could!d never find it at the food market nor in Canterlot also they heard it was very expensive. "How was it? " asked the candy maker her eyes still on her green mare friend. " Not a fan." Lyra replied. There was a moment of silence then both mare's started laughing. " Lyra will always be Lyra ." The cream colored made thought feasting her head on her front hoof looking at the still laughing made which went on for about another minute before she returned to eating. " Celestia how I love that made." FEW HOURS LATER Lyra lied in her and Bon-Bon's bed cuddled up to the latter's chest. After dinner the couple relaxed on the couch watching few TV shows on their antenna television set. ( The invention of TV just recently came out in Equestia a handful of years ago, so there was only a little more than 20 channels.) Which spent they spent most of the time making fun of the shows or movies they watched. After about an hour and a half the talk went to " fooling around" and then the two went to the bedroom. They had sex for over an hour and truth be told it was very very hot, sweaty, and interesting. They have had sex a few times since Lyra left Clopping Hooves but not like that, and Lyra was exhausted but not ready to goto sleep. She was thinking about what she did, not regretting it just wondering if she would get caught. " I pushed the bodies out pretty far in the river" thought Lyra. "Hmmm if they pop up hopefully get blamed on a monster and knowing Ponyvile it most likely will." And with that thought the worriesome mare calmed her mind and went into a peaceful sleep.
Search For Ruby pt.1THE SEARCH FOR RUBY Ponyvile was in a uproar the whole atmosphere was electric for one it of its young fillies have gone missing and not a trace of her could be found. Princess Twilight Sparkle was in the center of the mayhem, a crowd of concerned ponies which looked on to her for direction in the search for Ruby Pinch. "Alright everypony I have talked to Berry Punch as to were her daughter might be!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed " So far the places and areas she might be at would be picking apples at Sweet Apple Orchard, playing with the animals around Fluttershy's cottage, or....." Twilight paused and took a deep breath for telling the ponies the other place Ruby Pinch might be "... or wondering around the entrance to the Everfree forest ....from what her mother told me she loves the flowers that grow along there. " " She might have wondered into the forest too so in that case I have wrote a letter to Princess Celestia to as we should proceed when it comes to going into such a dangerous place." Twilight held back her worry as she spoke the last part. The Everfree forest was a dangerous place Ruby could have been grabbed by something or have gotten hurt by just being near the forest. But she held hope that the first two areas of search would bring the little filly home. They still had plenty of day light left it was only a few hours after noon and Twilight promised herself that Ruby Pinch would be home safe before the sunset. " Applejack !" called Twilight A orange pony with blone hair topped with a tan cowboy hat stepped from the crowd " Yes, Twilight?" " I need you, your family , Miss Cheerlie, and ..... " Twilight took a second to think if she needed any more ponies to search the apple orchard , one more couldn't hurt she decided. " You, Bon Bon !" Twilight said with a burst while pointing at the white pony with blue and pink hair. Bon Bon looked slightly startled by Twilight's sudden outburst, and surprised that she actually knew her name since she very rarely associated with her. " Yes Princess Twilight?" " I want you to go with the Apple family I know you and Lyra are familiar with Berry Punch and Ruby" Bon-Bon nodded her head before a mint green unicorn with white highlights in her mane popped right beside her. It was Lyra Heartstrings Bon-Bon marefreind. Lyra had a reputation of being a bit odd, obsessive, and emotional. Twilight from what she read about pony mood disorders would have diagnosed her as bi-polar. "Oh OH! " Lyra exclaimed with a hoof waveing in the air and bounceing as if this was not a serious form of business but as if she wanted to picked for a team in a game. " Yes Lyra ..." Twilight said hesitantly " I belive I should be part of the team that search's near the Everfree forest I myself have been the forest searching for creatures with hands that have five digits and walk on two legs like your pet dragon Spike there!" Lyra hyperactively explained with great enthusiasm. Bon-Bon just stood beside her and smiled and shook her head and then just looked at Twilight as if trying to signal to " let her down" nicely. Twilight just lowed her head and thought for a second to think before opening her muzzle to reply. " I like that idea very much even though I do not agree with your habit of searching the Everfree forest numerous times , I do need somepony who is familiar to a degree of the forest." Lyra smiled a big joyful smile while Bon-Bon eyes just filled with shock and concern " What! You are knowingly allowing my marefreind to search in the EVERFREE FOREST!" Bon -Bon shouted Before Twlight could reply Lya did it for her. " Oh come on sweetie you know I go into the Everfree forest all the time " " Yah! Without my knowledge or consent!" " Huff ! When do you I need your consent to do anything Im a fully grown mare you know!" " Since you brought home a small dead creature with two legs, hands, AND also most got shocked by lighting because you wanted to bring it back to life! Like you read in one of your stupid scary book's only to find out it was a breezy who got mauled to death !" " I THOUGHT I DISCOVERED A NEW BIPEDIAL ANIMAL THAT I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE SO IT WOULD NOT GO EXTINCT AND DISCOVER AT THE SAME TIME HOW TO REVIVE THE DEAD! IT WAS WORTH A SHOT!!!" " Yah and you almost got the SH....." " GIRLS GIRLS!" Twlight intervended " I would never send a pony into a dangerous environment with out proper protection Princess Celestia is sending help as we speak. Though I would appreciate it if Lyra went with the search party because the little filly ( as far as I know ) is good friends with the mother and knows Lyra " " I also babysit Pinchy on occasions too !" Twilight closed her eyes and pointed her hoof towards the crowd " Exactly! We need somepony who Ruby Pinch would come too if she see's or hear's them" Then as if on queue a bright shiny chariot appeared in the blue sky with blinding glow. Twilight steadily opened her eyes just as a golden chariot appeared in the shine of the sun " Dear and faithful Twilight I am here to help in the search. " Princess Celestia breathed as she stepped graciously out of the chariot. Everyone in attendance bowed even Twilight, "even though she was a Princess herself.'" " Rise." The sun princess said with kindness then looked at Twilight " And Miss Twilight Sparkle you should know better than to bow to me we are now happily equals " she added with a chuckle. Twilight chuckled back " I know but old habits die hard ... but any hoof we have formulated search parties and we need some more support when searching the Everfree Forest could we use some of you guards to do so, please." Twilight seemed kind of cautious bout asking the last part but already knew the answer the situation and trying to keep herself from over thinking made it hard for her not to be a little timid. Celestia just eyed her for a second and the then with her head tilted up replied " Twilight I did not come all the way to just send my guards to help while I watch, I myself I find it in the best interest if I joined the Everfree forest search party." A walleyed grey pony bounded out of the crowd and shouted with glee, " WOW ! Did you hear that Berry Punch Princess Celestia is gonna help us find Ruby this is so great I could...." before the blonde walleyed pony could finish she ran into a lamppost. The Princess winced before taking a look at the pegasus to see if she was ok then walking over to dark pink pony who was in the fetal postion crying. Celestia raised a wing over Berry Punch " Don't worry my little pony everything shall be fine just have faith.... " Berry looked up at her in which Celesti nuzzled her then whisperd ".... I will do everything in my power to bring her home" And with that stood up and addressed Twilight. " Twilight I am taking one of my guards with me into the Everfree forest, who else do you have going in to forest ?" Twilight smiled nervously and then answered " Well... Miss Lyra Heartstring will be since she unconventionally knowledgeable of the Everfree forest and knows the filly very well." " Fine that's acceptable, so please introduce me to this mare" " That would be me your highness!" the mint green Lyra ran up eagerly to the Princess " I am Lyra Heartstring full time musician , part time bi-ped enthusiast and researcher." Princess just looked at the perky smiling mare then smiled back. " Also if I may add if we are in the forest and find hoof prints that are large and appears to walk on two legs. Please let me know, uhhh... that is after finding Ruby obviously ." Lyra added with just a frown at the end. Princess Celestia just nodded and smiled before leaning over to Twilight and quietly said " Make that two guards. " Author's Note I know my grammar might not be the best so please leave help with that if you find any mistakes.... but be nice bout it I do not like negative constructive criticism
Search For Ruby pt.2The Search for Ruby pt.2 Upon entering the forest Celestia split them up into teams. One team were the two guards the other was Celestia and Lyra. Celestia thought it would be best to stay with the light green pony, since she was not a trained royal guard or a alicorn princess. As they trudged through they kept their eyes on the trees and the path hoping to catch a glance of Ruby Pinch. " Ruby! Ruby! Ruby Pinch! " called the princess. " Pinchy ! Pinchy! Come out now its me Lyra ! bellowed Miss Heartstrings. " ...if you do me and Bon-Bon will play Princess Ruby with you! " Lyra turned around bashfully and looked at alicorn right behind her, who just smiled at the last comment. " She likes pretend she is a Princess too, she has a toy set of a unicorn horn and wings. Then sometimes when she is really good Bon-Bon makes her some chocolate coconut bars and I play her some songs on my lyre. Ha! she pretends she is in a royal court while she eats and listens" Lyra reminisced. " She is such a good little happy filly , but when I see her ! Im gonna ...." Lyra stopped herself all that, if Ruby was near and heard her yell about playing " Princess" she would dart out immediately. Worry broke her high spirited personality her face broke and her breathing started to rapidly accelerate. Sensing Lyra distress Princess Celestia put her pure white wing around Lyra. " Don't worry my little pony, remember she might not be in earshot or in the Everfree forest. We got to keep hope in our hearts and carry on. Every second we take is a second closer to finding Miss Ruby Pinch" Lyra looked up with a tear in her left eyeand smiled then quickly nuzzled Princess Celestia which only made her smile back. The with a jump back Lyra exclaimed " Come on Princess ! Lets go bring Ruby Pinch home!" ****************************** The search went on till Luna raised her moon. Princess Celestia made sure to write a letter explain were she was at and why it was important that she stay out even later. Glancing at Lyra she could tell the mare was getting disheartened, mainly because she stop calling for the missing filly about twenty minutes to go. BUt she still trudged on knowing anything could pop out at any moment and sadly they wouldn't find Ruby or worst. The thought made Celestia shudder which in turn made Lyra look at the Princess. " Princess, are you okay?" " I'm fine though I feel we are not covering much ground. The other are not doing so well in finding here ether or we would have seen blue flare light up the sky indicating the found her in good shape" Lyra's eye grew wide and then she sat on her hind legs and had her front hooves in front of her shaking. " .....And if she is not found okay?" the green mare asked while trembling the words. " The a red flare would.." the white alicorn sighed with putting her head down. Lyra jumped at the reply. " Well then okay we need too split up cover more ground and like FAST ?" she loudly stammered with a shout. Celestia looked upon the worried mare with stern eyes. Even though she was right they would cover more ground but she could not bring herself to send a regular unicorn out in the forest with out proper protection. Then the thought of a poor pink little filly scared and alone hit her. She sighed again and though to herself " Well one of the reason she is with me searching was because she had knowledge of the Everfree Forest." " Alright but if you run into any trouble send up a red flare with your horn" Celestia the paused ".... you do know how to do that ?" " Uh yah I was in your school for gifted unicorn" Lyra replied back with a coy smirk and a raise of her hoof. Princess Celestia smiled " Alright then you search the east and I will search the west." " Gotcha!" Lyra acknowledge with a quirk of her head and then went on her way to better the search for Ruby Pinch. Celestia then turned and went the other way. After going about a few feet she then turned her head to were Lyra was before. " I hope everything will be alright." ******************************* Lyra Heartstrings trudged through the dark dank woods. Her and Celestia began the search with just rounding the edge's of the forest but as the day progress they had went deeper, when they separated though they had gone farther than mile in. The curious mare in the past went deeper into the woods but not at night. " Pinchy ..... Come out dear." Lyra whispered as to not attract the creatures that lurked within the Everfree Forest. Sweat from worry and fear rolled down Lyra's muzzle. Images of Ruby Pinch ran through her head, her poor scared sobbing under a branch or something. Just sitting there hoping to be helped. Tears rolled down her eyes, seeing as her and Bon-Bon were not cable of having a child of there own, Ruby was like an adopted one to Lyra Or at most a niece seeing as much as she babysat her while her mom was working at the punch bar. Even when her mom was not working Berry, Derpy, Dr. Whooves, and Golden Harvest would always do something like go on a picnic or just have a get together at one their places. Most of all Berry would always bring Ruby and Derpy would always bring Dinky, and Lyra would smile watching Derpy coddle Dinky and when Ruby would even get close enough to " Derp" and " Dink's" cuddling session Derpy would snatch her up and do the same to her. Berry would just smirk happily "of course" and sip her wine. Berry Punch at the moment was indeed at the moment wallowing in grief and worry. She didn't look it especially with her known love of alcohol that Berry was indeed a very protective mother. Outside of work she only visited with her named friends because they were the only ones she really trusted to be around her daughter. Shakily Lyra went on into the forest she was going to what appeared to be a pond in the middle of the forest. Lyra gazed upon the shore as she approached closer to the body of water. It was nice calm and serene the moon glazed the surface with a shine. Reaching the shore she took a breath and just took in the scenery, today has been a troublesome day and even though it was not over yet she need a "breath" from it all. Letting her head turn to the side to look upon it all, she saw what appeared to be a "bulge" ruffling the lake a little. Being curious she got closer to see what it was. She walked curiously to the object in the pond and when she was in front of it and on the shore she noticed she had to go some feet into the water. Lyra turned her head down and put a hoof into the coast of the pond to see how cold it was. It did have a chill in it but it was not bad enough to hinder Lyra's curiosity, Lyra quickly trudged through the bit chilly water keeping her eyes on the object in the lake. She would have brushed it off as a log, a big piece of drift wood at first but as she got a few feet into the pond it appeared to have color to it. Looking back at the coast and seeing it was not far away and the water was only pass her hooves. Lyra decided there was no harm in seeing what this weird thing was in the water. She only had a couple feet to go so she non- knowingly went to were it was. At first look it appeared to be nothing just a bundle of leaves wrapped around something .....Lyra couldn't tell what it was. Then she stuck her nose closer. Her head went up in a jerk, her eyes seemed to want to bust out of her head, and her mouth trembled . What she seen put her in a petrified state of being a only tremble rocked her body. Then like a bomb a big burst erupted from her horn and shot right to the center of the night sky and exploded and light up the night as if it was daytime. " CELESTIA!!!! CELESTIA!!!! CELESTIA!!!! CELESTIA!!! " Miss Heartstrings bellowed for right under her muzzle was the pink filly wrapped up in string of pond weeds that once was Ruby Pinch. Author's Note WOW even for me that was dramatic to write I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry about not having it posted sooner things in life have been dramatic too. Once again you see anything grammar wise please let me know this is one of the first stories I have posted public. And ...I could use a little bit of constructive critic in a appropriate manner. Give me some time readers for the next chapter being a clay figurine maker, writing short horror stories, and now looking for a job can be time consmeing but this story will be seen through till the end and it never leaves my mind ether just Ill have it up asap Plz like it u like and dislike it u like
Help Needed"Lyra!" Bon-Bon yelled as she saw Lyra walking towards the center of town. She could not see the distraught look on her face but it became clearer as she got closer. " Whats........" The white colored mare stopped as she saw Princess Celestia walking and levitating in a gold aura a small bundle. The Princess had her head down and tears leaking down from her eyes. Ponies started to gather around as Celestia approached, curious looks were on there faces but soon were replaced with shock as they saw what the bundle was. " Pinchy !" bellowed Berry Punch as she made her way through the crowd. The gold aura slowly lowered towards the ground . Berry cowered to the bundle and started to nudge Ruby Pinch " Come on hunny wake up wake up" An a emotional Berry Punch the rose up " RUBY MERLOT PUNCH YOU WAKE UP THIS INSTANCE THIS AINT FUNNY !" When she didn't Berry lowered herself again and whimpered " Please..." " I'm sorry my little pony but she is gone.." Princess Celelstia said as she wrapped a wing around Berry Punch. The dark pink mare then reeled up her legs and bucked Celestia in the chest as if Celestia insulted her badly. The Princess ( who was only moveda few inch's from the buck) put a hoof up to halt the advancing guards. She then slowly went up to the mare who bucked her. Berry stared at her the realization of what she did made her heart race and worry showed on her face. Tears welling in her eyes she finally let out a heart breaking wail. The white alicorn put her wing around Berry Punch again and let the dark pink mare cry her eyes out in her coat. Bon-Bon who was looking at Berry Punch vent her sadness, she tearfully turned to Lyra. The light green mare was in a state of shock she was shaking, her eyes were wide, and deathly silent. " Lyra hunny are you okay?" she knew it was a dumb quest to ask but it was the only thing she would think to say. " Do you wanna go home and get some rest?" Still nothing Lyra just remained in the same state. Bon- Bon did the only thing she could do and put her arms around her. The mint green mare instantly started to cry in her coat, Bon- Bon patted her back and held her. " Bon-Bon...." " Yes Lyra..." " I found her .... she was soo... pale , still and ... and " Lyra stopped herself she could not muster the rest of the sentence, she went back to sobbing in her mare freind's coat. " Oh Lyra..." Bon-Bon sighed and closed her eyes and let Lyra cry. "How is she?" Bon-Bon tuned to see Princess Celestia looking at them with concern. " I don't know when I first came to her she could not stop shaking and now she wont stop sobbing I don't blame her though " Bon- Bon explained. Celestia nodded her head " Bon- Bon Lyra I sent Berry punch to a facility called Clopping Hooves it is a place were they treat traumatic mental anguish.." Celestia paused " ... I think it would be best for Lyra would go to" " No!" Lyra blurted out " I've been to one of those places before they lock you up, there is hardly no sunlight , the group sessions are boring as tarturus, and their food is bad." " I assure you Clopping Hooves is a hospital that group sessions are both fun and helpful along with various other exercises and their menu of various nutritional choices can be taken outside in the picnic area. It is tight locked but for safety reasons but after three days you may leave if you may." Celestia said trying to sound convincing to the green mare. Lyra with her head down looked at Bon-Bon. " Bon-Bon..." " Lyra dear " the milk colored mare walked over " I think it would be best for you they could help you get through this , if not you will go and probably drink yourself to death thinking about it all. I don't want to see that happen I love you." Bon-Bon then hugged her. " I want to see you okay." Bon-Bon had her hoof under Lyra chin and looked in her eyes pleading she would make the right choice. Lyra just stared back grasping what she heard, thoughts swam through her head. Untill she made up her mind . " Fine I'll do it" Lyra said with her head down. Celestia walked up behind her " I knew you would make the right move I've seen many ponies in the same situation and this is the right move. If you would just follow me I will get escort you there" Lyra nodded then looked up to her mare friend " Will you come see me ?" Bon-Bon chuckled " Of course I will babe." " Everyday?" " Everyday I promise." the white mare smiled and then gave her a peck on the lips. The mint green started to tear up she then tuned to follow Celestia.
Blood and Water6 Weeks Later Lyra sat on the bench breathing in fresh air. Yesterday she was released from Clopping Hooves the road to recovery from the psychological trauma she went through was tiring. The mint green mare was relived to just sit and absorb the peace that was around her at the moment. Clopping Hooves was just like the Princess said "it was helpful." She was not cooped up in a room and being mind probed by doctors. She went to the groups and learned exercises to clear her mind of negative thoughts like meditation or writing a journal of her everyday life and how she felt. Her therapist Peaceful Mind was kind and caring unlike the ones she had in the past who just wanted a paycheck or stare you down then mutter under their breath. She was a perfect in talking and listening. Lyra at first didn't know what to say she'd guess that they would begin with Ruby but when Peaceful Mind came in she plopped her pink self down and began " So what do you like Ms. Heartstrings ?" she added with a smile and propped both her hooves under her chin and rested them on her desk. That was when Lyra began talking and talking by their time together she told her everything fro humans to Bon-Bon to Ruby. She would listen to Lyra and laugh when she told her something funny to being silent and sit right beside her when they got to Ruby. Lyra also made a few friends there like Loose Screw who's story really made you think how well you have had it . Her name was a good example of how " wrong " her parents were. She confided in Lyra that she was named Loose Screw because when she was a toddler and started to stand up by herself, she use to butt her head against the bars of her play pin. Originally Her name was Silver Wave but after her parents seen what she does in the play pin they dubbed her Loose Screw, because they'd guessed " she had a screw loose." Things didn't get better for her as she got older. When she was a little filly she would pretend to be a dog. Mostly for the reason her mother Amber Wave got upset one night because their landlord wouldn't allow a dog in the house. So Loose Screw, who was " just out of diapers" and wanting more attention than what she was getting decided she would be a puppy for her mommy. This would have been fine for a couple of hours but this went on for over a dozen years. Loose Screw has been in the hospital for three years and it was not until recently that she remembered that she was a mare not a bitch. Lyra felt shock and remorse when she learned this . Loose Screw parents were drunks and negligent and were arrested on numerous charges. No pony even knew she was real, she was only allowed out at night to relive herself and and her parents had her home school and did her work for her. They wanted her to be a dog, for them it was cheaper and easier than raising a filly. The ponies that did know were the same as her parents if not worst. They found it funny and did not see the harm in a filly being raised like a dog. It was not till she got loose and and tried to bite some pony that the world knew about her and the cruel cards life dealt her. In group when the silver haired mare told her story she broke down , Lyra comforted her. Then there was Pied Hat and Dark Shade. Pied hat was a orange stallion with a green shaggy mane that always wore a hat with only but no less two colors, and the hats would come in different shapes and sizes. He was funny, quirky. and random. When Bon-Bon- visited he at first made her nervous, she even advised Lyra to stay away from him. Lyra only had two words " Pinkie Pie." They then chuckled and dropped it. From what Lyra heard from Pied Hat in group that he made his hats the old fashion way with mercury. It took a toll on him and he admitted it gave him illusions and sometimes he could not help himself. He would do something stupid because it felt right like burning down his shop or jump scare people on the street.Lyra bonded with him for he was a laugh and she needed something like that at were she was at in her mind. The way he would make her and every pony laugh was crazy and random . If it was jumping into a wall or farting in group and looking at Peaceful Mind or another nurse then exclaim " Really?!" Dark Shade was the opposite of Pied Hat. She was a 19 year old mare with a black coat and a purple long mane who tried to kill herself,this bothered Lyra deeply. She heard through the grape vine that she suffers from a major depressive disorder. Which made her moods fragile and mostly in some way depressed. Lyra had been diagnosed when she was in her teen as being bi-polar. Which means she would go from extremely happy to extremely sad. So she knew were Dark Shade was coming from. One day in group when asked why she tried to kill her self. She said it was because of her cutie mark which was a crescent moon and it shadow, she got it when she won a 12 foal hide and go seek match. Dark Shade got depressed because she felt she was always going to be in the dark. When Lyra left she told Dark Shade about the Cutie Mark Crusaders in ponyvile. She then gave Dark Shade her address, so if she wanted to arrange something with them she could get in contact with her. When Dark Shade heard this she gave Lyra a big hug and a thank you. The Lyre playing artist then said with a smile while still hugging her "If she became depressed she could write or come down anytime." Lyra being 25 and who has a similar mood disorder knew she could help the older teen out alot. Loose Screw, Pied Hat, and Dark Shade said they would write. Bon-Bon also kept her word and visited everyday and did not miss any, she owned her own store so she could and did do that. Ether in the morning or after noon she would be there everyday in 6 weeks. From ponyvile to Canterlot was a trip and back. But Bon-Bon would tell her self and Lyra " Anything for love." Which was good for Lyra ( even though they had many games, groups, and good books) would look forward to seeing her mare friend everyday. She missed her deeply when visiting hours were over. When Bon-Bon would come first thing they would do was cuddle for a half an hour both picturing they were at home in each others arms. Then they would go looking for something to do. Then they would talk bout thing going on at home. Bon-Bon would not bring up anything to do with Ruby or Berry Punch ( who was on the fourth floor of Clopping Hooves.) he would say that everything was okay or tell her some good new like Dinky Hooves getting her cutie mark That was three sparks leaving a sparkly tail. She got excited when her mom was flying and almost home from work one day and that day was the last day before she got her first ever vaction from work. Dinky with a pop and a crack transported to her mother's hooves. The cutie mark crusader say it because her destiny is magic of concerning passion and love. Since she loves her mother dearly and was passionate on spending two weeks with her straight through. They also tried to make room for games while she was there. It would be from board games to trust falling. That was Lyra's favorite to play with Bon-Bon. Because Bon -Bon would have to stand on two legs and fall back on Lyra which was on all four of her feet behind her, and sometimes she would move abd her mare friend would fall on the mat. Luckily for Lyra when visiting hours were over it was time for group then supper and by that time Lyra would be ready for bed. At first Lyra had problems sleeping because Bon-Bon was not there. The first night she even went into a panic attack and had to be given medication so she could calm down, Then the nurse had to comfort her and talk to her till she fell asleep. Lyra had grown tired of sitting and thinking about the last two weeks. She got up and started down the park she was sitting at's trail. She was by herself relived she was finally in her town the one she adopted over Canterlot as home. The day was beautiful and it was nice and warm but not hot nor any humidity in the air. It was like the day was made for her. After awhile of walking down the trail in the park Lyra hear some commotion, splashing and laughing to be exact. Lyra being the curious mare she is followed the noise. Soon she came upon "the ole swimming hole" that most ponies went to swim at. She could see from the edge of the pond area, two foals playing in the water. With her curiosity filled she started to turn back untill she heard. " Hey Snails look I'm Ruby Pinch!" Lyra could also her frantic splashing after the colt said that. Another voice chuckled " Yeah that's funny Snips, you know I bet she screamed like a baby too." " Yeah I bet she did " Snips replied with a laugh. Lyra in shock couldn't really grasp what she heard nor what to do. They didn't cover people making fun of the dead especially the a filly whom you found dead. She had to do something but she did not know what to do. The mint green mare was in an emotionally haze, the only thing she could think of was to turn around and head towards the pond even farther. When she came to were Snips and Snails were playing she stopped and looked at both of them. The grayish green colt recognized her first " Uh hi Lyra." he said timidly " You didn't see that did ja?" he asked Lyra nodded just staring at the both of them. Snails walked up to Snips's side with his head down. " Oh um please don't tell our parents they would tan our hide's " the orange colt replied. " Yeah they would tan em good too" Lyra closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment before blasting them away with her magic. Snips landed in the water while Snails landed the grass off the pond. Lyra proceeded to Snips she trudged through the water. The colt was still recovering from the blast when Lyra was standing over top of him. " Please! I'm sorry I promise I wont make fun of Ruby no more and I won't tell no pony about you blasting us! Please I just want to go home!" cried Snips. Lyra still looking down puts a hoof down on his chest, she then reach's down to Snip's forehead and bites down on his horn. He screamed in pain as Lyra does this. The pressure of Lyra's head pushes Snip's head a little deep in the water. So he wont drown holds his breath even as Lyra is biting down on his horn. Then with a jerk of her head to the left Lyra snaps Snip's horn off then throws it in the water. " Look's like Snips got snapped." Lyra said mockingly She then took a look at Snails who is slowly getting up. Lyra levitates a pond rock that was close by, she aims and throws it. With a clonk!, she hit her target Snail's head He falls to the ground with a thud. Lyra possessed by a new found sadistic rage looked down at Snips. He was lying on his back, Lyra looked down even farther to his tiny balls. " You know I bet you were planning on using these on a innocent filly." Lyra said pointing to his balls. Snips whimpered with his eyes shut. " Maybe even on Ruby, which is a joke a cute filly like that would never like a piece cow shit like you."she taunted. She put a hoof on his testicles and slowly started to push down " Owe! please stop ! " bellowed Snips. Lyra would not, she pressed down even harder, Snips chocking and crying in pain. The pressure on his sensitive parts being squished and every centimeter was pressure building pain, it was like squeezing two water balloons that were attached with nerves to the body. Then pop ! , Lyra turned his testicles into mush in his ball sack. Snips was in so much pain he threw up. " Ha ha ha now that's funny, I didn't know balls popped. I thought they just got crushed." Lyra exclaimed with a laugh. Snips was going into convulsions. " Hey stop that I'm almost done okay?!" shouted the lyreist, she added a punch in the face for good measure. She then placed her horn on Snip's throat and stabs him. The colt with scissors as his cutie mark convulsed even harder gasping for air. She then choose to end it right there. Lyra the tuned him around and held his face in the water. He struggled at first but soon mercifully went still. After finishing him off she turned to were Snails was at. Lyra trudged back through the water to the shore. The colt was still unconscious, but that didn't stop her. She got right on top of Snails, which woke him up with a gasp and started to jump up and down on him. " Stop...please stop..." he sputtered Lyra just kept on jumping with a smile on her face like a kid on a trampoline. Bones were snapping poking through his orange coat and internal organs were crushed under her weight. She jumped and jumped and jumped for a good five minutes before hopping off of him. Unfortunately Snails was still alive but choking on his own blood. At least three of his ribs were poking through his skin and he was coated in dirt. " Well I guess it's time to put that slow brain of your to a stop, you know your parents should have not ever have fucked!" Lyra then hopped onto his skull which smashed almost instantly. She burst into psychotic laughter, she laughed long and hard. She was in ecstasy, the things she had done were justify. The two colts were made fun of Ruby were dead. They should have been the one's to drown that fateful day in the Everfree forest, not Ruby. Their parents brought them into this world, Lyra took them out. That in away made them her kids, right? She looked down at Snails mutilated corpse. Lyra then grabbed him with her magic and began to walk towards Snips in the water. She also started to calm down as she approached the the dead body in the water, with Snails levitating by her side. When she reached Snips she placed Snails right beside him. Lyra stared blankly at the blood in the water. It was not as much as before she went to Snails but still enough to make it red. She gave them both a burst of magic energy to push them into deeper water. As their bodies sailed Lyra's mind was cleared, only a tiny of consciousness of what she done . But not enough to make her worry nor feel bad.

Revalations and HomeAuthor's Note Well its been awhile life has been topsy turvy since July but I won't leave you hanging. I got a new story idea is I will be working on I'll give u a hint its an unusual shipping of a grown up Dinky Hooves and just so you know I will be making a Lemon Grass series totally different from the story and it will be a on going series so no end, so read Lemon grass for hints about who is in it and "wink wink" who will show up in the series. It sounds fun already in my head. I will be working in three's so it will be this and those stories that will be worked on . So enjoy this chapter and see you soon! Revalations and Home Lyra trudged into town. After doing the deed of killing two colts,she washed off in the bloodless part of the river's shore.She had a blank expression on her face as she walked through town. Taking the less taken paths to get home so she wouldn't get stopped and talked to. The mare was in mood to socialize, also she might still have a little blood on her coat and she did not want anypony to see it. The distraught pony after about what seemed like hours even though it was like five minutes , finally made it to the front door of her and Bon-bon's house. " Babe where were you ? You've been gone for an hour and a half ?" asked her curious mare freind . The question snapped Lyra back into reality. "Oh, you know just went for some fresh air and sat on a bench for awhile." Lyra answered with a nervous smile. "Ahhh okay well I'm happy your back. I've just started dinner so go freshen up hun." Bon-bon said not taking her eyes off the cooking pan. Lyra walked into their bedroom then made a "beeline" towards the night stand. She opened up the one drawer on the stand on four legs and pulled out a tall clear bottle and a small shot glass. Levitating the bottle toward the glass and filling it all the way she picks it up with her hoof and down's it with a jerk of her neck. " What did I do ? " the mare said to herself. Two dead colts were now in the river because of her. She had brutally maimed and killed them. She ran towards the window to see if the royal guard were at the door, but nopony was there. Lyra took a deep breath and got herself another shot. It was a strong coconut rum her favorite , expensive since it was exported from Hoofba. The musician was only only able to get it once a year but she savored it throughout the year, it usually last about seven months. With the new circumstances she was going to splurge abit much. The aniexty was overwhelming sooner or later the bodies of the foals were going to pop up. Then it would be ruled murder or accidental, if it was ruled murder then there would be a pony hunt. Nopony would expect Lyra at first but with the advancement of crime magic there was a high chance in the green mare's head that she would be caught. " If I get caught what would they do to me ? " Lyra asked herself. There has not been a murder in Equestria in a decade and they killed that stallion and it was just one pony not a foal. " Oh my Celestia the will kill me ! " the terrified pony mentally screamed then took another shot. After the burning sensation died down in her throat she took a few deep breath's. " They were making fun of Ruby's even going as far as insulting her ." she angryily thought. " I had to do it , they were mean and cruel to a poor innocent sweet filly who drowned. THEY DESERVED TO DIE ! " Lyra gleefully thought as she smiled and cherished the idea. She then started to think deeper, like did she push them out far enough? The current would do a number on their bodies then the animals would have at them ? Lyra the shrugged the fear and aniexty off like a coat. " Should I feel guilty ?" She asked herself. The mare sat there for a second determing whether she should feel guilty. But no matter how she would rack her mind on it, she couldn't. Ruby was a sweet, caring , andncute little filly and she died cold and all alone. Why did those stupid, ugly , and annoying colts Snips and snail get to live and not Ruby. Lyra smirked " I made it right , I set the universe right . " the mint green made chuckled. The kill was so excellrating Seeing them squirm just the thought was making her body shake. Lyra talking to herself murmmerd I wish In would have took something from them a bit of horn or even a tooth. Antoken to remember today would have been great for Lyra. She would never forget, but a momento would have been nice. " Their mother's brought them into this world but I took them out. " Lyra whispered to herself. Ruby entered her mind her cold life less face was burned to it , she was the first to see into death. Now she welcomed not one but two foals this time. Just more children she saw into death. The pain she felts for Ruby was and is unbearable and it would hang like a putrid smell. The fillie's mother was still in Clopping Hooves recovering. She was going through the biggest trial of her life , learning how to live life with out her baby girl. Berry Punch might not have been the best mom mostly because of her second love alcohol , but Ruby was her first. The wine loving pony loving and care to Ruby yet she made she Her foal was disciplined and good mannered. Which was unlike Snips and Snails they had a reputation of being the town's trouble makers. Bon- Bon even had a run in with them were she had to ban the duo from her candy store for attempting to shoplift a bunch of candy. Then there was the incident last nightmare night were they" tped" ponies houses. Luckily Lyra and Bon-Bon's house was spared also lucky for them they didn't because Bon-Bon said said she make them eat the paper. What was more messed up is when some pony would goto their parents nothing would never happen. Ship's mom didn't care and Snail's parents did not believe what they were told. They in Lyra's mind deserved to loose their foals , not Berry she didn't deserve the pain.The musical pony smirked to think that now the pain Is now shared. Lyra took another shot of rum then grabbed the bottle and left room. Upon entering the kitchen and grabbing herself a glass out of the sink she settled at the table. Bon-Bon looks over at Lyra the candies mare's eye brows raised. " Looks like someone is hitting the bottle , what's up ? " Lyra nearly shrugged " Well I haven't had a drink in like six weeks so......." she dragged on. " Why not ?" She said with a goofy grin. Bon- bon smiled back " Just be careful on those meds , okay ?" The musical made rolled her eyes. Her marefreind could be so mother like sometimes , but she would never admit to secretly that caring side of the mare and unsecretly her plot. Of course Lyra being Lyra she replied and huffed " That just makes em better. " Bon-bon frowned back before turning back to her cooking. She knew she was joking but "Damn ! " did she hate Lyra joking like that. The mare finished up with her cooking pea pot pie and cheesy cauliflower. After putting it on the table for the two Lyra looked at it . She would have preferred something more simple like pizza with her coconut rum but Bon - bon almost always insisted on making a real home cook meal. Which for the fact Bon-bon even though a candy maker was a good cook, Lyra just liked junk food all the time . " Celestia do I miss pickle dogs. " Lyra commented to just annoy her mare friend. The candy mare rolled her eye balls. " I can't believe while at Clopping Hooves , that had a menu that could put most restaurants to shame. You settled for junk food. " " It's good " Lyra said through a mouth full of cauliflower. She swallowed then countered back " And that's rich coming from a candy maker ain't your whole lively hood depend on junk food. " Her mare friend glared back " Candy is a snack not a meal. " The lyre cutied mark female knowing she won this time smiled " Correction ! I did eat a flaffle pita . " Bon-bon stunned muttered " They had flaffle? " " Yup " chirped Lyra with a smirk. Bon-bon always wanted to try flaffle but could!d never find it at the food market nor in Canterlot also they heard it was very expensive. "How was it? " asked the candy maker her eyes still on her green mare friend. " Not a fan." Lyra replied. There was a moment of silence then both mare's started laughing. " Lyra will always be Lyra ." The cream colored made thought feasting her head on her front hoof looking at the still laughing made which went on for about another minute before she returned to eating. " Celestia how I love that made." FEW HOURS LATER Lyra lied in her and Bon-Bon's bed cuddled up to the latter's chest. After dinner the couple relaxed on the couch watching few TV shows on their antenna television set. ( The invention of TV just recently came out in Equestia a handful of years ago, so there was only a little more than 20 channels.) Which spent they spent most of the time making fun of the shows or movies they watched. After about an hour and a half the talk went to " fooling around" and then the two went to the bedroom. They had sex for over an hour and truth be told it was very very hot, sweaty, and interesting. They have had sex a few times since Lyra left Clopping Hooves but not like that, and Lyra was exhausted but not ready to goto sleep. She was thinking about what she did, not regretting it just wondering if she would get caught. " I pushed the bodies out pretty far in the river" thought Lyra. "Hmmm if they pop up hopefully get blamed on a monster and knowing Ponyvile it most likely will." And with that thought the worriesome mare calmed her mind and went into a peaceful sleep.
