Their Stories

“I said, kill it NOW!” Brandon Hoovesworth yelled at the young Fluttershy as she trembled with the knife in her hoof. Ever since the day Pinkamena left him at work and became Pinkie Pie, he had been searching for a new apprentice. He tried his best to keep himself out of sight and find the most vulnerable and easy foal to corrupt and become his new Apprentice, but he finally found one in the forest. It was yellow filly with a pink mane and butterflies for cutie mark, named Fluttershy. From the look in her eyes, she was the perfect target. He quickly took her and found this easier due to her being “weak” and her timidness. The first time he tried to get her to kill, she just bawled her eyes out. Now, he was just having enough of her reluctance.

“I SAID NOW, YOU OLD DOG!” Brandon yelled at the filly, who just cowered in fear.

“Please, no” Fluttershy whimpered as Brandon yelled at her again. She didn’t want to kill this poor foal. She didn’t want to become a full Murderer, or Apprentice. She knew about the decision she was gonna do; painful, but quick and easy. She raised the knife up, but not to cut the foal they captured. She, instead, tilted the blade across her neck. Brandon could only look on in horror for she was gonna do next.

“I’m sorry” she said before she slit her neck a bit.

“No” Brandon said as he watched her collapse on the floor. He this was like Pinkamena all over again. He knew what he had to do in order to keep her, but atleast turning fillies and colts at young ages was now just basically like a daily thing nowadays. He ran over to her, and gave her the vile of red he held in secret. Without warning, he rammed it down the young filly’s throat until it was all gone.

Fluttershy began to heal at a fast rate, but still cried at what Brandon just did to her. She felt weird as the vile began to spread all over her body. She tried her best to fight off the darkness that wanted to corrupt her, but the vile was too potent. She began to feel stronger, faster, more durable, elusive…and deadly. Without hesitation, she took the knife and cut the foal in the chest. The look in her eyes was cold.

Brandon grinned; he made the vile extra potent like he did with that other filly with the rainbow mane. This just made his experiments with the Victim’s Blood even better. At this rate, he could corrupt an army of fillies and colts even on their first day of corruption. But, nonetheless, after such a long time of inflicting pain and torture and madness, he finally got his Apprentice.

“Well, my little Apprentice” he said calmly as he began to approach her. “It’s time for choosing a new playmate and…”

But Brandon didn’t even get to finish his sentence when the filly threw her knife at him, almost got him by the chest. He was surprised at that, Victim’s Blood was supposed to make her do as he commanded. He looked back at her to see that she wasn’t backing down. It didn’t take him long enough to realize something went wrong.

My little niece and her adding of extra! He thought to himself. She added something to make it even worse and now…This time, the next knife Fluttershy threw got him stuck to the wall. As he tried to free himself, he noticed she got faster and was no longer in the basement. The next moment she was, she came downstairs with a phone.

“Hello, Police!” she cried as she faked fear in her voice. “Please! Help me! He’s killing me! It hurts! IT HURTS!” she exaggerated further by cutting herself on the hooves. She then hung up on the phone.

“Murdershy” Brandon used her codename. “What is the meaning of this?”

“The meaning of this?” she mocked, her voice now getting raspy. “The meaning of this is that this filly will not die in vain” she said before falling down on the floor.

Brandon was getting angrier than ever now.

“Uncle Hoofy!” his niece’s voice rang out as she stepped down the stairs, but only at the top where she was safest. “I just want to say goodbye before you get taken to prison and…you just killed a filly, I’m going back up”

The pink filly just marched upstairs with her eyes wide, like she just went through a trauma. I swear, she was gonna be sick.

“Pinkamena Diane Pie! Get back here this instant!” Brandon yelled. The only response he got was the sound of the sirens of a police car, no an entire crowd of police cars. The next thing he knew was that the police came down to take him away. He managed to get a good peak at what happened to Fluttershy. She was placed on a stretcher with an ambulance helping her.

“Miss? Miss, can you hear me?” one of the nurses asked as they took her in the ambulance. She opened her eyes weakly, the cold look in them gone. “What is your name?”

“Flu…Fluttershy” she said weakly.

“Okay, Fluttershy. You’re gonna be okay. We’re gonna make sure you’re okay. Don’t worry, we’ll find your parents and you’ll be with them again in no time. You’re gonna go back home and see your mommy”

“Mommy?”

“Yes, your mommy. Just stay with us”

The last thing Fluttershy heard was the ambulance sirens, the struggles of Hoovesworth, and the face of a small pink filly.

The next thing Fluttershy knew was that she was no longer at the crime site, but in a hospital ward. She saw that she was now breathing through a gas mask; a blood bag was attached to her hoof. But, nonetheless, she lived.

“Fluttershy?” a familiar voice rang out.

“Mom?”

The next thing she knew was that her mother was with her. She just couldn’t believe it.

“Oh my sweet little butterfly! I’m so happy you’re alive!”

“Mom?” Fluttershy was happy to see this. “I can’t believe it’s you! I thought you were dead!”

“I was just looking for you, sweetie. Now that I’ve got you back, I’m never letting you go again. I’m so sorry I made you think that”

“It’s okay, mom. Where’s dad? And Zephyr?”

“They are down the Waiting Room, just waiting for the news of your life”

Fluttershy was so happy to be reunited with her family at last. She felt fear as the memory of Brandon came to mind. “Mommy, I’m scared”

“Shh, it’s okay” Shy’s mother said as she pulled her daughter in for a hug. “Mommy’s here for you now”

Fluttershy was happy at that. But she knew she had to be wary of herself. Not because of Brandon, but because of the Victim’s Blood. She knew she got her family back, now she had to struggle to keep away her darker side.
