Equestria Girls: Shattered Mind
Why Must Pain Exist?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter two hours of talking with Pinkie it was time for me to leave. It was around Eleven I think and we still had an hour drive and I had school the next day sadly.
"Hey it was really fun talking with you again." Pinkie said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah you too." I replied as I tried to get over the fact that she kissed me.
"I'm only going to tell you this once, but stop wearing that ridiculous face mask and be yourself." She said as she ran up and hugged me again.
"Yes ma'am." I said as I began blushing. She let go after a minute or two and I started heading towards the door before I was stopped.
"Hey how're Twilight and the others?" She asked as I was standing in the doorway.
"I... honestly don't know. Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash don't talk to me that much but Twilight seems to go out of her way to ignore me and give me a vibe of pure hatred emanating from her." I said as I looked down towards my feet.
"Oh.. well don't let it get you down." She said with a nervous smile.
"Right.." I said as I walked out and went home for the night getting ready for the nightmare at school the next day.
---6 A.M./Friday---
I was walking around in complete darkness where I could only see my body and a small area around me. It didn't take long before I heard laughter coming from the darkness surrounding me. So I began walking faster until I ran into something...or someone.
"Ow my head. I'm so sorry I didn't see you." I said as I rubbed my head.
"Why did you do this to me?" A female voice asked in the dark.
"Huh?" I said as I rubbed my eyes only to see who was standing before me.
"Why.... why did you do this to me?" A girl with curly, puffy pink hair sobbed.
"Pinkie is that you?" I asked as I reached out towards her.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!!" She screamed as she was drenched in a dark crimson liquid that began swirling around her as she absorbed the liquid and began transforming.
"What the hell?" I quietly said only to be disrupted by a loud pop as Pinkie appeared the way she did when I last saw her.
"Y'know I think I'm gonna repay you for what happened to me..." She said as her face was aimed towards the sky as she reached for something behind her back.
"Pinkie?" I questioned before she screamed extremely loud and made a bee line for me. She was upon me in seconds, then I was pushed to the ground as she straddled me.
"Are you ready to repay what you did?!" She yelled as she put her hand around my throat.
"Please....Don't.....Pinkie..." I began gasping out as I lost all air inside my lungs and I began tearing up.
"You're right this isn't the 'good' way to do it." She said as she got a straight look on her face and sat up straight only to have her hair cover her face.
"Thank *cough* you Pinkie." I said as I started breathing again.
"CHOKING IS TOO GOOD FOR SCUM LIKE YOU!!!" Pinkie yelled as she flung her hand around from her back holding... a knife. She then in one swift movement slammed the knife into my forehead before I could react. I couldn't say anything, I only saw hear lean her head down next to my ear. "And to think that I almost fell for you." She laughed as my eyes closed.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" I screamed as I was shaken awake by Vinyl who was looking at me with worried eyes.
"Bro are you okay?" Vinyl asked as she looked at me concerned.
"Yeah...*huff* I think so." I said as I rubbed my eyes. I felt terrible just as if I had slept only for two hours.
"Well I hope so we still have school today and if you don't hurry you're going to be late." She said as she walked out of my room getting her stuff ready.
I groaned as I rolled out of bed and walked towards the kitchen in order to fix me some breakfast.
"Morning Skull." Octavia yawned as she walked past me in her school uniform sipping coffee from her thermos.
I only grunted in response.
"Coffee is still in the pot nice and hot and you're breakfast is in the microwave." She said with a smile as she stopped in front of her room.
"Thanks." I groaned as my eyes were still adjusting to the light in the kitchen.
After finishing my meal and drinking my coffee I realized that I was definitely gonna be late considering I had 15 minutes before school started and school was thirty minutes away.
"Well I might as well get going." I said to myself as I gathered all my school supplies and got into my clothes for the day and headed out not ready for what was ahead. I arrived at school about thirty minutes later and dragged my way to the office to check in.
"Well hopefully things'll be much more interesting today so you don't fall asleep Dash." A country voice said around the corner. Then within seconds I bumped into the voices owner.
"Ow crap.." I said as backed up and rubbed my head.
"Uh it's okay Skull Punk." Applejack said with a nervous laugh.
"If you don't want to you don't have to talk to me I'm used to being disowned by others.." I said as I looked down to the side.
"Actually darling we've been talking among ourselves.. and we've decided that we want to be friends again." Rarity said as she rubbed the back of her neck as the others nodded.
"Really?" I asked as I perked up full of excitement.
"Yeah I mean to be honest I miss playing sports with you." Rainbow Dash said as she stepped up with her hands cupping the back of her head.
"Thanks guys I really appreciate it, however, how does...Twilight feel about this?" I asked I felt the joy leave me only to be replaced by a pit of sadness.
"No one has seen her this morning sadly." Fluttershy said quietly as she stepped out behind the corner.
"Oh.. Also I forgot to mention Pinkie asked about y'all." I said hoping to give them some good news and brighten up their day.
All four of their mouths dropped as they looked at me in shock.
"Was it something I said?" I asked as I started to get scared.
"When did you talk to her?!" Applejack asked frantically.
"Last night and early into this morning." I replied.
"How is she? Is she okay?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah she's okay she requested to speak to me a lot and they finally cracked under the pressure and agreed." I said as I nervously laughed.
"Well at least she's doing good." Fluttershy said as she let out a sigh of relief.
"I know well I gotta go get to the main office and tell them what happened." I said as I walked off and waved to my friends.
After a quick word with the principle and everyone in the office I began heading to my class only to see the one person I was fearing to see in the entire school.
"Hey... Twilight." I said as I gave her a little wave.
As soon as she saw me her eyes turned to stones and she went cold.
"What do you want?" She snapped back.
"I...I was just saying 'hi' is all..." I said as I started feeling nauseous.
"Well I don't want to exchange friendly greetings towards the likes of you. Now don't ever talk to me again." She snarled as she began walking away before she stopped right next to me. "And one more thing... You will soon get what you deserve." She said quietly before she walked away.
I stood there for a minute before I walked solemnly to my class. I arrived after a couple minutes and I opened the door and walked in without saying a word as I headed to my desk.
"Hey there Skull Punk!" Ms. Cheerilee said with happiness in her voice.
I didn't respond I just sat down at my desk and laid my head on it and closed my eyes.
"Okay.." She said as she went on with class.
After the couple hours of hell that school is I decided to head to the mall just to look around and kill time. I finally arrived at the Canterlot Royalty Mall and walked in with my earbuds in playing some quiet dubstep.
I had my eyes opened halfway only to see people giving me the stink eye, older men giving me a look of utter disgust, mothers pulling their kids away from my path.
Damn bastards. They don't want to understand me at all they just want someone to blame all the worlds problems on. I thought to myself as I walked around the store.
After multiple people complaining to security they finally asked me to please leave and return at another date. I simply nodded after confirming that I wouldn't be completely banned from the mall I left.
I ended up heading home around ten o'clock when the street lights were beginning to turn on. I decided to take a back alley to get home quicker because I was still tired from the lack of sleep.
"Stop right there." A voice said behind me.
"What do you want." I said as I stopped in my tracks pinching the bridge of my nose.
"It's time for you to pay." The voice said full of anger.
"Look I'm sorry for whatever I supposedly did okay." I said as I slowly began turning around.
"No you aren't! Because of you Pinkie is in prison and has been turned into a monster!" The voice yelled.
"How do you know..." I said as I finally turned around and saw the person in front of me.
"You did this." The person said as tears began streaming down their face.
"I don't remember what happened I swear!" I pleaded to them trying to calm them down.
"I DON'T CARE. YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!!!" The person yelled as they pulled out a pistol and aimed it at me.
"Please don't calm down..." I started to beg only to have a pair of stone cold eyes glare at me.
"Time for you to take responsibility for what you did." They said as their finger pulled the trigger as a loud bang filled the air.
I couldn't say anything the only thing I felt was a sharp pain in my head as a red liquid began to flow over my eyes as I fell to the ground with a loud thud. The person then walked over next to me and was looking down at me from above as they laid the gun down next to me with a glove covered hand.
"Wow that was easier than I thought. Oh well one less monster for the world to harbor I guess." They said as they walked away.
There was only one thought that ran through my mind before I passed out. Why.... Why did you do this.... Twilight.
