The Quiet Game

Twilight had to distract the guards to get into the castle. She couldn't just simply go in. She wasn't a princess anymore. Besides, since the incident, she could hardly show her face in public. She would be humiliated and tormented. It was like torture for the brain. But she had another plan. A very simple plan.

She had a mind control spell, so she could use it on any pony she saw. She spotted an ordinary looking stallion, and beganto use the spell. He started to get dizzy, but then he gained his balance. His eyes had a purple tint, when they were supposed to be green. That proved it had worked. She made him walk up to the guards, and perform some suspicious actions. The guards eventually started to approach him and question him. This was Twilight's chance. She quickly darted through the entrance. But she realised she had to make all the way to the top balcony, where the princess was standing.

She still had to make it past even more guards, so she came up with a devilish plan. She used her spell on one of the guards, and then made him attack the others violently. The guard under control killed two other guards, as if he was making a kebab with his spear. One of these guards was Shining Armour, Twilight's brother. But she didn't care. Shining was dead to her, both figuratively and literally. Now that everypony was focused on the dead guards, she made her way further into the castle.

After what felt like the whole day, the police force had broken through the invisible wall. They then proceeded to enter the Everfree Forest, starting their search for the two missing ponies. It had been at least a month since they went missing, and some of the force even thought they must have died. But even then, they still had to collect the bodies for obvious reasons. They sent off flares to alert anypony, possibly the missing ponies, of where they were. Fluttershy might have been tired and dizzy from the lack of proper sleep, but she noticed the flare.

She ran as fast as possible. She wished she could fly, but Twilight had broken her wings before she left to prevent quick escape. She must have forgot that Fluttershy was a fast runner in situations like this. Fluttershy was eventually found by the search party, and she was taken into the hospital immediately. She was free of the Everfree Forest, but she wasn't free of the Quiet Game, which would make questions from the police force after being treated harder to answer. She was extremely scared of Twilight. After her experience in the Everfree Forest, she was fully aware of what she was capable of, and she didn't like it.

After a few hours of running through corridors and sneaking past guards, Twilight finally made it to Princess Celestia. Twilight was scared, but she wanted this.

"Princess Celestia. I need to talk to you immediately." Twilight stated, worried about the reply.

"Twilight. Face it. You will never be-"

"FLUTTERSHY CAUSED IT! I NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG! I'M SORRY ABOUT BEING BOSSY ON THE MISSION, BUT NOPONY WAS LISTENING!" Twilight yelled. She wanted to get it all out on one breath. The princess turned around.

"Well, Fluttershy told me you forced her into doing those things. And that you trapped her in the Everfree Forest and almost killed her and you killed Spike. What is wrong with you? You also must be stupid to think that doing this would be a good idea. Now I know where you are. Right here, standing in front of me."

Twilight gasped. Fluttershy had broken free. And she told Princess Celestia what she had done. She was in for it now. Twilight would kill her, but first, the princess.

"Hmm... You've seen through my charade." Twilight said. Her horn started to glow. "Well, did she tell you I've learnt more magic than you, more powerful too? You don't know what I'm capable of!" Using a powerful blast of magic, she knocked Princess Celestia flying over the balcony, breaking her wings too. She fell all the way to the ground, her limp body grinding against the hillside the entire fall. The princess was dead, and Twilight killed her. She was so happy, now Fluttershy would be the next to die, but then the guards showed up behind her, wielding their spears. This was going to be a long night.
