Secrets in Equestria

Pinkamena stretched and yawned as she woke from her night’s sleep. It was a new day in an old building. It didn’t matter; soon it would look like a completely different building. Once she earned the trust of the orderlies, she would turn this place into a slaughterhouse. Never again would she be held back by ponies. She stood up off her bed and cracked her neck as her “guard” as she called them, walked up to the door. Pinkamena kicked one of the empty pudding cups away from her and walked over to the door. She gave the orderly a wicked smile. “How many ponies are going to walk with me today?”

The orderly inhaled and said something under her breath. “You will have three guards on you today just in case you decide to get hungry today. Right now however, breakfast will be brought to you in a few minutes.”

“If it’s going to be here in a few minutes, how is that right now huh?”

“Don’t be smart Pinkie; you know very well what I was saying.” The orderly left and was replaced with Pinkie’s doctor.

“Pinkie, would you kindly tell me where my necklace is?” Pinkamena shrugged. “One of these days, you will tell me but until then.” The doctor rubbed her forehead. “Here comes your breakfast Pinkie.”

“Mrs. Purpleheart, I’ll get there, really I will.” The doctor smiled at hearing her name finally being used. She smiled and walked off as the orderlies slid Pinkamena’s breakfast through the slit in the door. Once the orderlies left, Pinkamena walked back to her bed with food in hoof. She couldn’t help but laugh at how anypony thought she would get better. She wasn’t going to, there was no way. Pinkamena had plans and it started with getting out.

Like the days before, Pinkamena forced the so called food down her throat. It wiggled down her throat like a worm, a big fat worm. Each swallow made her shiver and shake. She couldn’t wait to get out of the prison of hers. With nothing to do in the room, she relaxed until the orderlies came for her. It didn’t take long before the orderlies came for her. Today she followed the rules to a T but inside, she had the biggest, wicked grin. Too make sure she got out as early as she could, she would make her days here more and more pleasant for her doctor one day at a time. When the time was right, she would get out. She would get her doctors trust and that would be Purplehearts undoing.

Days came and went and each day was the same but with better results as time went. In the long many weeks she had visitors stop by. Her family and friends were the most common. Her family was worried and her friends spoke of the time they had with Sunset Shimmer and what had gone on. A dragon almost clouded Ponyville in smoke and Sunset had been less than helpful with fixing it. She had put Fluttershy down whenever anything happened involving Fluttershy. Once they reached the top of the mountain, Sunset had attacked the dragon right off and made it mad. Luckily Fluttershy had actually been there to stare the dragon down. It was a shock to all of them.

On Pinkamena's last day, only Rainbow came by to talk about some events that had gone on. “On a rather stormy night, Rarity and Applejack had gone to Sunset’s much to Sunset’s displeasure. Rarity and Applejack had tried to convince Sunset that they could help her with the whole marriage thing but Sunset wouldn’t accept it. Sunset went straight to bed and let Applejack and Rarity do what they wanted. Then there was the whole gossip thing that had gone on. Apple Bloom and her friends had spread all kinds of gossip around Ponyville. Sunset hadn’t cared about what had been said about her and shrugged it off but everypony else had been furious.” Pinkie stopped Rainbow from talking more.

“Look Rainbow, I appreciate you coming to see me today but I think I’m about to be released. Go home and get a big party for me will ya? After all, I can’t go home and not be welcomed with a “GLAD YOU’RE HOME AND BETTER PINKIE PIE” party.” Pinkamena said with her hooves spread wide, puffed up mane and tail, and a smile on her face.

“You bet Pinkie, glad to see you better.” Rainbow Dash took off leaving Pinkie in her cell. Purpleheart watched as Rainbow Dash flew by and walked up to Pinkamena’s cell.

“So Pinkie, are you ready to tell me where my necklace is?” Purpleheart asked.

Pinkamena nodded and walked over to her bed. “Come on in Purpleheart, I’ll get it.” Purpleheart nodded and walked in as Pinkie reached beneath the bed. “Thank you Purpleheart, I’m glad to finally be going home.”

“I think we are all happy about it Pinkie. Now just remember to take a few pills every day.” Purpleheart took her necklace back and put it on. “It’s good to have this back, thank you.” Purpleheart turned around. “I’ll take you to the front.”

“I think I’ll take myself Purpleheart, besides, I think you could use a little nap.” Purpleheart stopped and started to turn around but two dull pink hooves wrapped around her neck and pulled her into the room. Pinkamena let her hair fall flat. She grabbed onto Purplehearts necklace and pulled it tight around her neck. She tried to scream for help but being strangled kept her from doing so. “You fell for my trick.” Purpleheart grabbed onto the necklace but she wasn’t strong enough to pull it away. Little by little, the necklace dug into her skin. Blood began to drip onto the ground. Soon, the necklace dug into the cartilage and snapped spraying blood everywhere and onto Pinkamena.

Pinkamena smiled and dropped both halves of the bloody necklace onto Purplehearts dead body. She stepped around the body and avoided as much blood as possible. She took a peek outside, puffed her mane up again and wiped the blood on her face off. She walked out and shut the door behind her hoping the orderlies wouldn’t question her.

Some of the orderlies came over to Pinkamena and asked what she was doing alone. “Purpleheart wanted to stay behind and…clean up.” The response was met with worry. The orderlies ran off to the room Pinkamena had been in. Pinkamena decided she was feeling a “hungry” and made her way toward the kitchen waving to the other patients in the institute. She needed a weapon if she was gonna get out. There was no doubt her actions would cause an alarm to sound. There was that and the guards wouldn’t just let her free the other patients. When she arrived at the kitchen, she ran to the back room. The ponies working tried to stop her but it didn’t work. Pinkie grabbed one of the butcher knives nearby and turned around to face the cooks. “So, who’s first?” The cooks looked terrified and began to run. Pinkamena threw the knife at one of them and hit the cook in the back of the head. “I guess it was you.” Pinkamena grabbed onto the knife, the sound of body tissue being mangled as she moved the knife around as she pulled it out sent adrenaline threw her. Blood splattered along the wall and counters. Pinkamena was way too excited about killing ponies

“Consider that payment for making me miserable with that nasty food.” Pinkamena kicked the body and ran out of the kitchen. The orderlies blocked her as an alarm went off as expected. “Do you really think you can stop me?” Pinkamena ran at the orderlies and began slicing throats and stabbing heads with no issue. Blood covered the floor and walls of the long hallway she had gone down. She ran to every room freeing the insane prisoners and killing orderlies and guards along the way. She finally came to the front room next to the door. She sliced the throat of the pony guarding the entrance and flipped the switch turning the alarm off and unlocking the doors. “This place has really bad security.” Pinkamena smashed the control table and then walked out of the room. She admired her hoofwork. The main lights were off but the emergency lights came on giving the building an eerie red glow. The blood on the walls and floors glistened in the red light. Doors were hanging off their hinges due to the chaos. Chairs and tables were tipped over along with much of the décor around the room. Pinkamena dropped the knife and puffed up her mane. “Anypony coming in will get quiet the surprise.” Pinkamena turned around and walked out of the institute.

“Pinkamena, well done on your escape and our giving the rest of us our freedom.” Ahuizotl said holding his chains out. Pinkamena rolled her eyes and broke the chains. “We will see each other again, until next time Pinkamena.”

“Sure Ahuizotl.” Pinkamena looked toward Ponyville and smiled. “I’m coming home my friends.” She hopped along down the road as the only doors left on their hinges shut behind her leaving a peaceful looking institute behind. “Step one, check. Step two, get my friends back.”
