Chapters “You always are” Brutalight answered Pinkis when the pink Freak said she was hungry. They all just turned into humans, or rather Equestria Girls. Pinkis was still trying to contemplate why her mane turned poofy even though she only gets it when she’s happy. Applepills, Pinkis and Fluttershout were still gaping at how Brutalight looked in her Equestria Girl form. She didn’t just look scary, she was hot and terrifying!
“What about you, Fluttershout?” Brutalight asked her friend.
“Well…” the beige girl was trying to talk. But something made it harder for her. Not just the fact that Brutalight was scary enough, but she felt something overtake her. It felt like a powerful surge of energy. She tried to shake it off, but it wouldn’t stop. Finally, she cried out in pain as everything around her went black.
“Fluttershout?” Brutalight called to the girl as she fell to the ground. She and the others grew more worried when it looked like she wasn’t moving.
“What’s wrong with her?” Applepills asked as they gathered around their unconscious friend.
Pinkis went and took Fluttershout wrist to check for a pulse as Brutalight held her. The pink mare sighed in relief when she found it. “She just fainted, but we need to get her back to Headquarters”
Brutalight then noticed that her friend just turned back into her pony form. “Is this common?”
Pinkis shrugged. “Ask my mom”
________________________________________
“Well, her heartbeat is normal and she’s breathing fine, nothing serious” Creepy Belle said to the trio when she came back. They all turned back into their pony forms when they arrived so as to not scare the others so much. “How did she get like this?”
“We were just about to go on a Hunt altogether but then she fainted, that it” Brutalight said.
“Maybe it’s cause your form was a little scary” Applepills squeaked out.
“You think I scared her enough to faint?”
“I don’t think so” Pinkis said. “Before she fainted, she looking like she fighting her Host in the head, and she screamed, but without her Ear Rape powers”
“Now that’s weird. Every time she screams, she always had her Ear Rape in it” Creepy chimed in.
“Well, we’re all Freaks. Nothing here is normal” Pinkis said.
“Right, well, I gotta go check on AssSpike, who’s still coming back from getting his neck snapped. Somepony has to watch Fluttershout because there may be a chance of her going into shock since her fainting could be caused by internal pain”
“I gotta go find my sister, Francie Bloom before she gets herself killed again by hunting for vampires” Applepills raised a hoof.
“I gotta go ask mom about these forms, how to control them, and because I left a piece of chunky rare human meat” Pinkis said before she took off.
“I guess that leaves me” Brutalight said.
“Once she wakes up, she must not exert herself so much for the rest of the day. I can tell that Shouty must feel very in debt to you after all you’ve done for her, Brutalight” Creepy Belle said while Applepills took off.
“Indeed” Brutalight said as she walked to Fluttershout’s room.
Brutalight thought about the many benefits that Creepy Belle had since her Host was a doctor. Though Freaks were relatively immortal, they still took a long time to wake up if they get ‘killed’. Having a doctor in Headquarters was a benefit especially since they couldn’t risk going out into the open. They knew very well about the way Normals will react if a Freak was seen in broad daylight. Sure, they could make themselves look like their old, Normal forms, but that would always draw more attention since everyone knew they were missing since the day they became Freaks.
Brutalight snapped out of her train of thought when she realized she made it to Fluttershout’s room. She opened the door to see the beige mare was still asleep on her bed. Her heterochromic eyes were shut, making her red birthmark all the more visible. Brutalight brought along a chair to sit on while she kept an eye on her friend.
As much as she wanted to go off Hunting right now, she felt obligated to watch over her friend until she wakes up. As Freak Queen, it’s her duty to care for her subjects. As much Brutalight hated to admit it, she had somehow gotten soft around the Pegasus. Well, Fluttershout once helped her out when she drank a weird type of potion that made her act like a baby so in a way she repaying her.
Still, she couldn’t shake off questions in her head, including why did Fluttershout just faint like that? Rarifruit was quite understandable, but Fluttershout? She never saw that! Fruity was a bit of a coward, but Shouty was a solid rock! She even showed no fear when she first saw AssSpike. Many questions kept popping up in her head.
Her head snapped back to reality when she heard Fluttershout groan.
The beige Pegasus began to stir as she woke up groggily. She groaned as she woke up from the fact that she fainted and was still shaky from changing back to her pony form. She opened her eyes and faced a familiar purple mare.
“Welcome back, Fluttershout” Brutalight greeted her friend when she knew she was now awake.
“Brutalight, what happened?” Fluttershout asked, now fully awake. “Why are we back into our pony forms? Where are Applepills and Pinkis? Why am I in bed?”
“You fainted and turned back into a pony, we had to take you back to Headquarters. Creepy said you’ll be fine, but one of us had to stay here to keep an eye on you. Applepills and Pinkis left for family, but I stayed. My Hunt could wait”
“Thank you” Fluttershout tried to sit herself up, but her head hurt.
“Easy there” Brutalight said. “Creepy said that you need to rest”
“Great” Fluttershout plopped herself back down, hooves crossed. “So I’m stuck here for the rest of the day”
“It’s kind of funny when you get annoyed, Shouty”
Fluttershout rolled her eyes with a smile.
“By the way, why did you faint?”
“I don’t know. I just felt some massive surge of power, as though somepony else was trying to call to me”

Later…
A small figure in a cloak hurried over to a cave to hide as the first rays of daylight began to peek out. When she reached the top, she looked around and whispered one thing:
“I will find you, mother”
Up in a cave, there was a young Freak in hiding. Upon taking her hood off, her facial features were shown. She looked like a Katsuma, but the striped were black and her fur was white. Her ears seemed to have white marking on them. A small blue hat with diamonds rested on her head. Her eyes: left eye cerulean and right eye red with a birthmark.
She was only about 3 months into her life as a Freak, but she had already been a rampaging upstart that had one thing set one her mind: find her mother. Why find her mother? She had been taken from her since childbirth by her so-called father. After she abandoned the bad parent, she went on her own to look for her mom. She just came from her search and found that somepony knew about a possible place to look for her mom. He said that he’ll let her know if he sees her. She knew that it already almost dawn, which is when the rest of her kind sleep until the darkness of dusk came.
But as she perched upside-down as a bat, she couldn’t help but think if her mother thought she lost her. She didn’t want that she would give up on her. She thought and thought, until atlast she came up with an idea. She would cast a spell that would make those nearby where her mother was fall into a crazed dream that will control them via song. Only she could undo the spell, and it would be one only she and her mother recognized.
Breathing her chants, she had it ready. All to do now was to fall asleep and the spell would take place.
________________________________________
Francie Bloom was having a nice dream about killing vampires again. Though this time, she used a sword. She killed every vampire she saw. As she walked through the dark forest, she killed more and more vampires. Soo, there was a trail of bodies left from where she walked. For such a young filly, she was already a killer. She trotted all the way through, until she killed the final one. Up ahead was a pond. She decided a good drink of water may be a good treat. As she drank, she quickly noticed something different about her looks. No, she was the same, just wearing something. She wore a red dress with white lining, the symbol of a card’s spade on its center. She looked to her cutie mark, which somehow changed into a red Spade. She didn’t notice a hooded figure behind her, which caused vines of thorns to appear all around. Francie wanted to get them off her, but they sunk deeper in. The last thing she saw was a hooded figure, and a small verse of a song in background.
The first Alice was a wrathful filly of the spade. And righteously she held a sharpened blade within her hoof. Never hesitating to slay all within her way. Creating paths of blood that followed her through her home roof. Deep into the darkened forest, Francie walked the line. Captured and imprisoned as an embodiment of Sin. If it were not for the murderous wake left behind. No one would have suspected that she had ever been.
________________________________________
AssSpike was having yet another dream about going on his nightly Hunts. He was, like Fluttershout, a Screamer. Screamers were the type of Pony Freak whose main weapon would be their screams. They were only about two in existence, and Fluttershout was the Queen of Ear Rape. Nonetheless, AssSpike’s dream that night was different. Other than going on a major screaming fest, he was somehow singing. He had no idea how this was happening, but this was fun. The next thing he knew, he was dressed in a suit colored blue. His cutie mark was now a blue Diamond. He liked this much attention, but then something bad happened. Right behind him, a gunshot was heard. He felt somehow pierce his brain, and realized he was shot in the head. He collapsed as he felt like he was dying. He couldn’t help it, but he grinned as a rose grew in his place. The last thing he saw was a hooded figure, and an eerie tune playing.
The second Alice was a fragile colt of the diamond. The broken echo of the lies within demented words. He screamed his twisted shrieks to all in under land. Creating the image of the sick and the disturbed. Deadly, yet so beautiful a voice just like a rose. Was shot by a mad child who silenced him to death. A single rose bloomed in his place with no scream composed. With twisted grin this dying colt lay breathing his last breath.
________________________________________
Creepy Belle was having a dream about being Rarifruit’s personal Steward. Since Rarifruit was proclaimed the Queen of Greeds, Creepy Belle had the possibility of being that position. She just loved to see how sister was doing her rule. At one point, she began to feel a bit paranoid about somepony assassinating her sister. As she felt the fear creep in on her, she failed to notice she was wearing a green dress with white lace. Her cutie mark became a green Club from cards. As she heard to meet with her sister’s call, she felt something close in on her. As she ran, she began to hyperventilate. She felt the darkness seep in on her, and she was unable to resist. The last thing she saw was a hooded figure and a peculiar tune.
The third Alice was an innocent young girl of club. An enchanting, graceful figure in the world of the burial land Her sister charmed the Freaks in the land to her beck and call. A peculiar country answering to each command. So she rose into the throne to help the country’s queen. Consumed by paranoia of her own impending death. Soon the filly succumbed to a dark and nightmarish dream. Disguised in kindness, loathing fate, she secured her regime.
________________________________________
Endaria and Flourice were having a share dream about having tea in the forest. It was nice for the two to enjoy their little party. Endaria was in a yellow dress with white lace while Flourice was in a yellow tux. They both got the same cutie mark: a yellow heart. They were about to go and wake up, but something caught their eye. It was a hooded figure who handed them something. They took it to find that it was a card, the Ace of Hearts. What was odd was why it was yellow rather than red. They were about to question the figure, but it was already gone. Turning the card around, they found that it was an invite to meet the Queen. Excited about the thought of meeting royalty other than their own, they ran to meet the Queen. But they were easily getting lost. All they heard was an eerie tune as darkness closed in on them.
And as this past two foals walked in the woods. Partaking in tea underneath the trees they’d never part. They found an invitation to the queen. It was the Ace of Hearts. The fourth Alice was a duo of curiosity. Both were lost and could not find the bush where they began. And so they ran through countless open doors so recklessly. A duo of twin sisters running wild through the mad land. A stubborn elder sister. A witty younger other. But they had strayed too far into Spelled Dreamland. They were never woken from their terrifying dream. Forever they would wander this twisted fairytale.
________________________________________
The child woke up from her dream as she hummed the ending of the tune. She knew this all meant that the spell worked. She looked out of the cave, it was dusk again. It was time for her to keep looking. What she didn’t know was what was happening to where her mother was staying.
Author's Note
Guess what song it is!
“Mommy!” a young voice rang out. The image of a small filly was shown. She looked scared and frightened. “Mommy, where are you?”
________________________________________
Fluttershout shook herself awake at the dream. She panted from fear and what she saw. Was that her child? Her child was looking for her? How come she looked like she grew into a seven year old? The birth was only about three months ago. Fluttershout only wished she could find her child soon; it looked like the filly was calling for her. Getting off her bed, the mare got ready for the night ahead of her.
She then heard somepony knocking on her door. “Fluttershout?”
The Pegasus walked over to the door, opening it to find a certain cannibal pony. “Pinkis, what is it?”
“Are you okay?” Pinkis asked. “I heard whimpering”
“I’m fine, just a bad dream. Why are you here anyway?”
“I just wanted to say I’m sorry about what my mother said to you two nights ago. I hope you’re not mad at me”
“Pinkis, I’m not mad at you. I’m just mad at Rarifruit for what she said. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean you have to feel at fault. In fact, I’m actually glad for atleast getting her to stop when I was about to cry. Thanks”
“And thank you for not being mad at me”
Fluttershout smiled, then she noticed something on the cannibal’s neck. “What happened to your neck? It’s a bit whiplash”
The mare then rubbed the area of her neck. “Right, Brutalight interrogated my mom to confess about what she did to you by threatening to choke me, even though I’ll heal again later”
“How is it now?”
“Just fine, Brutalight apologized after my mom gave in after”
“Well, that’s good”
Right then, they both heard the sound of somepony running. They looked to see Karateloo running to them from the hallway, stopping when she reached them. The filly panted from exhaustion.
“Karateloo?” Pinkis asked as Fluttershout closed the door when she came out.
The filly panted, “All Freaks…meet at…Sprayed Building…immediately”
________________________________________
“Why won’t you wake up?” Rarifruit sobbed as she held Creepy Belle, Endaria, and Flourice close. The three fillies just swayed limply. Creepy Belle had cuts on her hooves, while the twins had their throats slit.
“Francie, I’m really sorry!” Applepills cried as she tried to shake her little sister awake. The younger earth pony had scars all over her body. “Just please wake up!” her only response was the filly hanging her head to the side.
Karateloo only looked on.
Pinkis had to ask. “Oh, what happened to them?”
“I don’t know. I just came recently”
Fluttershout then noticed AssSpike, who had what looked like a bullet wound through the head. “Where’s Brutalight?”
“Right here” right then, the Alicorn stood infront of the trio.
“Sorry about what happened to AssSpike” Fluttershout said, looking over to the dragon-pony hybrid.
“No worries. How are you from last night?”
“Just fine. Any idea though what happened to those five?” the Pegasus pointed to the group.
“Don’t really know what happened. They were all in their rooms when we all last saw them. When Fruity, Applepills, Karateloo, and I came to check on them since they weren’t out at dusk, they weren’t there. Rainbine finally found them all lying here, in a particular order. What’s weird is what they’re wearing, and the fact that they won’t heal. Francie’s in a red dress, AssSpike’s in a blue tux, Creepy is in a green dress, Endaria’s in a yellow one, and Flourice is in a yellow tux. We tried everything to wake them up, but they wouldn’t move a muscle. I had to send Karateloo to call everypony else”
Fluttershout looked over to the group. Something about what they were wearing was somehow familiar. “Can you put them in the order they were in?”
Brutalight nodded. “Rarifruit, Applepills, and Karateloo please move away from the ground and victims and put them back in the order they were found in”
“But, Brutalight…” Rarifruit whined.
“Rarifruit, either you cooperate or I put you in the Crusher” the Alicorn ordered.
With reluctance and fear, the trio went away from the victims after putting them back in the order they were found in. They left the floor as soon as they can in fear of Brutalight’s punishment.
Fluttershout then went over to look at the scene. They order was quite normal: Francie Bloom, AssSpike, Creepy Belle, and Endaria and Flourice. Endaria and Flourice were in the same spot. Fluttershout looked over to see their cutie marks have changed. What was peculiar was that they were the symbols of a different card type. Francie’s was a red Spade, AssSpike’s was a blue Diamond, Creepy’s was a green Club, and Endaria and Flourice’s were the same yellow Heart. Fluttershout recognized those symbols, but she felt something else. She felt an eerie yet familiar melody somehow in her head.
“What are you getting at, Fluttershout?” Brutalight asked from afar.
“I’m not sure yet, but I feel something familiar. Can I try something?”
“Go ahead, we need all the clues we can get”
Fluttershout nodded, before beginning to monologue what rang in her head.
Aru tokoro ni, chiisa na yume ga arimashita. Dare ga mita no ka wakaranai, sore wa chiisa na yume deshita. Chiisa na yume wa omoimashita. Kono mama kiete iku no wa iya da. Dousureba, hito ni boku o mite moraeru darou. chiisa na yume wa kangaete kangaete, soshite tsui ni omoitsukimashita. Ningen o jibun no naka ni mayoikomasete, sekai o tsukurasereba ii to
As Fluttershout monologue the first verse of the melody, an eerie instrumental began to fill the room. Everypony got goosebumps both from Fluttershout and the tune. Right then, something even more peculiar was happening: Francie Bloom, AssSpike, Creepy Belle, Endaria and Flourice began to stand up. But when they opened their eyes, they had no pupils, they were just pure white. Their wounds were gone. Right then, the others tried to get their attention by calling out, but they couldn’t speak. Why couldn’t they speak? The five on the floor huddled up together, before AssSpike, Creepy, Endaria and Flourice backed away from the area, leaving Francie center-staged. All throughout the entire time, Fluttershout began to sing the melody, eyes closed.
Ichibanme ARISU wa isamashiku ken o katate ni, fushigi no kuni. Ironna mono o kirisutete, makka na michi o shiite itta. sonna ARISU wa, mori no oku. tsumibito no you ni tojikomerarete. Mori ni dekita michi igai ni, kanojo no sei o shiru sube wa nashi.
What was surprising to everypony was what occurred when Fluttershout sang that verse. Francie Bloom began to move, but in some weird way. In the first line, she began to act like she had a sword in her hooves and was slaying something with it. During the second and third line, she was just trotting. At the fourth, she stopped and began to act like somepony was strangling her. At the last line, she collapsed in the spot she was before, the scars back on her body. AssSpike then went to his spot, ready for the next verse. The others could only look on as the second verse began.
Nibanme ARISU wa otonashiku uta o utatte, fushigi no kuni. Ironna oto o afuresasete, kurutta sekai o umidashita. Sonna ARISU wa, bara no hana. Ikareta otoko ni uchikorosarete. Makka na hana o ichirin sakase minna ni mederare karete yuku.
AssSpike moved like Francie, but in a different manner. During the first line, he looked like he was singing. At the second and third, he looked like he was in an opera. At the fourth, he looked as though he was shot. At the last one, he collapsed on his spot with the gunshot wound in his head. A rose grew out of his head as he grinned. Then Creepy entered the stage, and her sister, despite trying to save her, could only watch as the third verse began.
Sanbanme ARISU wa osanai ko. Kirei na sugata de, fushigi no kuni. Ironna hito o madowasete, okashi na kuni o tsukuriageta. Sonna ARISU wa, kuni no joou. Ibitsu na yume ni toritsukarete. Kuchiyuku karada ni obienagara, kuni no chouten ni kunrin suru.
Creepy Belle shared the same as Francie and AssSpike. At the first line, she looked like she was posing for a camera. At the second, she trotted happily. At the third, she was suddenly afraid. At the fourth, she looked like something was chasing her before she finally stopped. At the last, she collapsed like the others as the cuts on her hooves reappeared. Lastly, the twins Endaria and Flourice went to their spot. Rarifruit had enough of this as she tried to save her children by running to Fluttershout. She was gonna close the mare’s mouth in an attempt to make her stop, but she couldn’t. Somehow, a protective barrier surrounded Fluttershout, keeping her away from stopping the tune. Rarifruit cried as she looked on, and could only do that as the fourth verse began.
mori no komichi o tadottari bara no ki no shita de ochakai o-shiro kara no shoutaijou wa HAATO no TORANPU
At the first verse, the twins looked like they were having tea. At the second, they got up from their sitting position and looked like they were holding something. The fifth verse was the one that showed what happened to them.
Yonbanme ARISU wa futago no ko. Koukishin kara fushigi no kuni. Ironna tobira o kugurinukete, tsuisakki yatte kita bakari. ki no tsuyoi ane to, kashikoi otouto. Ichiban ARISU ni chikatta kedo, futari no yume wa, samenai mama. Fushigi no kuni o samayotta.
At the first verse, they were trotting. At the second, they looked like they were opening doors. At the third, Endaria showed a smug face while Flourice did a smirk. At the fourth, the duo stopped moving. And at the last, they collapsed together as their slit throats came back. As the instrumental ended, Fluttershout took a deep breath as she returned to normal. Everypony was able to talk again as Applepills, Rarifruit, and Karateloo broke down in crying again.
Brutalight looked over to Fluttershout in utter shock. She was gonna ask the mare something, when she noticed the Pegasus’ expression.
It can’t be , Fluttershout thought. She knew those clues anywhere. The outfits, the cutie marks, the wounds, the tune…it was all too familiar. She knew only one other creature could do something like that. She was gonna doubt about the dream involving her child, but the clues were all too assuring.
“I gotta go” she said.
“Fluttershout, what is it?” Pinkis asked as the mare turned the other way.
“I just gotta go” Fluttershout said again as she ran and left the building.
This can’t be real; she’s too young to do something like that . Fluttershout thought as she ran away from the Sprayed Building as fast as she could. As much as she wanted it to go away, the responsibility of a close one’s actions was already getting to her. She just wanted to be alone.
But Applepills standing in her way wasn’t helping.
“Where are ya’ll going?” she asked, anger in her tone.
“I need to be alone, Applepills” Fluttershout said as she tried to pass by the earth pony.
“Ya’ll aint going nowhere”
Fluttershout was already shocked by the pill addict’s new behavior. She knew very well this was because her sister was the first. Unfolding her wings, the Pegasus took off over the earth pony. Applepills tried to pounce on her, but she was too high. Fluttershout tried to make a hasty escape, but she bumped into Rainbine. To make things worse, Karateloo was on her back.
“What do you know about Creepy and Francie?!” the filly yelled as she jumped in an attempt to grab Fluttershout.
“I don’t know anything!” the mare lied as she dodged Karateloo, luckily Applepills caught her.
“GET BACK HERE!” Rainbine yelled as she tried to keep up with her.
Fluttershout tried to flee, but she felt something just hold her in place. It was very tight, and she couldn’t move her hooves or wings. When she looked to see what was going on, it made her feel all the more vulnerable. Rarifruit was infront of her, levitated by her own magic and the Gauntlet of Greed was on her. Fluttershout then realized that the Unicorn was holding her in place using one of her Greedy Grabbers hands. As much as she didn’t want to do what she was gonna do, there was no other choice. Fluttershout took a deep breath of air, ready to launch her Ear Rape Scream anytime, only to be stopped.
“Got anything to scream about now?” Derpigun’s voice rang out.
Fluttershout then realized that Derpigun had strapped a muzzle on her mouth, making her unable to scream. She began to panic as that was the only weapon she had to get them all away. This just made her feel even more vulnerable. She looked around to see that they were all closing in on her, a glare on each face. Fluttershout began to freak out, but a light illuminated on her and she passed out.
“Fluttershout?!” Rarifruit tried to shake the Freak up, but she just swung limply.
Derpigun screamed. “I think I’ve made it too hard so that she can’t breathe! Or worse!”
“Get the muzzle off her” a commanding voice echoed. Everypony turned to see that Brutalight was just there. They then saw something zipped past them, grab the muzzle off Fluttershout, and then came back to Brutalight, revealing herself to be Pinkis Cupcake.
“Thank you, Pinkis” Brutalight said to the cannibal as she gave the muzzle. The cannibal then got a piece of rare meat as a reward. “Eat up”
“Pinkis?” Rarifruit stood in disbelief of her daughter. Her own child just chose Brutalight over her!
“I’m sorry, mom. But you have to let her do this. You did make Shouty cry two nights ago anyway”
“Exactly, I’m glad there are still those like you who have a sense in their mind, Pinkis” the Alicorn then looked over to Rarifruit, who was still holding the limp Fluttershout. “Hand her over”
“But, Brutalight…”
“Now, Rarifruit”
The Greed Queen sighed as she placed Fluttershout infront of Brutalight, gently. The Freak Queen then levitated the Pegasus with magic. “I’ll talk to her, alone. If anypony dares to spy on us, it’s an hour in the Crusher” she said before leaving.
________________________________________
Mommy!
________________________________________
Fluttershout woke up with a jolt. It happened again? She could swear that now her child was really calling for her. Opening her eyes, she found that she was no longer in the tight grasp of Rarifruit’s Greedy Grabber, and that the muzzle was now gone. She found herself lying on a couch, in a rather familiar place.
“You’re awake, good” a voice rang out.
Fluttershout looked to see it was Brutalight, sitting down on an office chair from one of the Hunts.
“Brutalight…”
“Fluttershout, what did you see? The others are getting anxious”
Fluttershout bit her lip as she propped herself up. As if her group wasn’t scary enough, now it’s their Leader-slash-Queen?!
“Fluttershout, please”
The mare sighed. “I think I know who did it”
Brutalight was taken back. “What? Who?”
“Just don’t freak out. If I’m correct, don’t hurt her”
“I won’t know if you don’t tell me. Who is it?”
Fluttershout gave up. “It’s my daughter, she’s looking for me”
“Your daughter?!”
Fluttershout nodded.
“How is that even possible? I thought she was only three months old at this time, how could she do that?!”
“I don’t know. But, it seems to be like it. Just this dusk, I heard her calling out for me in a dream”
“She was looking for you?”
“Yes, and I guess that’s why Francie and the others are in that state. I know what that curse is”
“Curse? What curse?”
“It’s called the Alice Curse, a very rare type that contains very difficult things in order to perform. The one for humans is mostly more complex, but our Freak version different”
“How do you know this?”
“Because used it once. I was having a fit before I met Creepigie, and when I learned how to sing, I once came across a song called ‘Alice Human Sacrifice’. There are two versions: English and Japanese, the song’s country origin. I sang the English one, and the next thing I know, those who heard it would do anything I say. They also dressed up in that exact same outfit we found the victims in. They had those marks and wounds, and those same positions. Every time I would sing the Japanese one, they would do the actions from the song. When somepony tried to stop me from finishing it, there would always be a protective barrier that would surround me from beginning to end. I couldn’t even stop singing it until it was over. The only way to break it was to sing both versions at the same time. That was hard, but I got it. The weird thing is that, if another Freak tries to sing it, they lose their voice at the first note”
“Then how is your daughter able to do it?”
“I found out that it is able to be passed on. Only those who are ruling over Ear Rape and Sound could cast it. So, when I had my daughter, she must have found out she could do it and she did”
“But, why Francie, AssSpike, Creepy, Endaria, and Flourice?”
“She must have used it so she can give me a message that she was looking for me, or to use it as a locator to find me faster”
“She can do that?”
Fluttershout nodded. “I have to find her. There’s no more time to waste, I need to bring her home here”
“How will you find her?”
“I can feel her” Fluttershout then placed a hoof over the area in her chest with the scar. “In here”
Brutalight hesitated for a bit, but she knew she had to do something. “I’m going with you”
“What?”
“After I tell the Freaks that you’re innocent and that they should go about on their own businesses, let’s get ready to find your lost child”
“Are you sure you want to?”
“You’ve had a hard time trying to find her all on your own, you’re gonna need extra help”
“Thank you, but don’t let the others…”
“It’s just me and you”
“Okay good” Fluttershout stopped. “Wait, how did you get to where I was?”
“Pinkis has a keen sense of smell and she wanted to make sure that Rarifruit didn’t do any more to make you cry”
“I should thank her later”
“Indeed, now, we best get ready”
Fluttershout nodded. “Let’s go find my daughter”
