Violent Night, Oh Bloody Night!
The Return Home
Previous ChapterAfter having killed a whole family, opening some of their gifts and taking some things from them that may be of value in Equestria, Amethyst and Colgate felt satisfied. They felt as though they had completed their mission and were ready to head home. Before returning home though, they decided to do one final search of the house to make sure that there weren't any more valuables that perhaps they could take home.
When they returned up to the bedroom where they arrived, they looked around and saw a safe. Colgate approached it and said, "You know, before we go we really should try to get into this!"
"I don't know" replied Amethyst "how are we supposed to even get in there?"
Colgate leaned down, pressed her ear to the door and began to turn the combination lock, listening to each click. I did not take her long to get into it. When she opened it, her eyes lit up in delight. There were all sorts of things in there that she knew she could get money for. There were diamond necklaces, golden plates and even some gold bars. Colgate's eyes grew wide as she commented, "Wow, there is so much in here! There are so many things in here we could sell for a lot of money and then take a MUCH NEEDED vacation!"
Amethyst wasn't so sure about her plans. She knew that Colgate tended to be on the greedy side but thought that this was going too far. "So how are we going to get this home? What are we going to tell Twilight when we show up with all these valuables and how will we get them back without dropping everything?"
Colgate saw a backpack of paper bills in there and dumped them out figuring human money would have absolutely no value. She proudly held the bag up and laughed, "With this!" Colgate began to put all the valuables, including the gold bars, in the bag and readied to zip it up until she made a suggestion, "You know Amethyst, you might want to put that ring in here. I doubt it will just show up on your horn."
Amethyst removed the ring and placed it in the backpack. Colgate then zipped it up and faced the mirror they came through. She asked, "Shall we now? Shall we go back home?"
Amethyst replied, "Yes but we're going to have to do a ton of lying to Twilight you know. especially about being covered in blood and having a bag full of valuables!"
"I know." replied Colgate. The two then turned towards the mirror and walked through. As they were returning to Equestria, they found themselves flying through a portal of colors before finally returning to Equestria. Unlike it was when they arrived in the human world, they simply walked out once they arrived.
The moment they returned, their cutie marks began to glow, with blood dripping from them like they were when they were called by the map. Colgate saw this and proudly stated, "Mission complete Amethyst, mission complete."
Much to their surprise, Twilight was not waiting for them in her bedroom but once they got downstairs, they were greeted by her. She embraced them, "Welcome home ladies!" She saw their marks glowing and added, "It looks like you completed your mission."
"Yep, we did." replied Amethyst.
Twilight then noticed that Colgate had saddlebags on and that both of them were covered in blood. Twilight's pupils shrank as she said, "Why in Equestria are you two covered in blood?" She knew how Colgate could be when she got pissed off and thought that perhaps someone went a little too far, "Did someone piss you off? You didn't murder anyone did you?"
Colgate lied, "Well you see, we wound up arriving in some family's house and they were all fighting so we decided to try and get them to settle down."
Amethyst added, "And when we tried, they attacked us and we had to fight back in self-defense! I wouldn't think spilling blood counts as murder if we spilled their blood in self-defense."
Colgate continued, "And besides, our marks are glowing so we must have fixed the problem." She then began to laugh, "Maybe they were causing their neighbors problems and we were sent there to wipe them out!"
Twilight then tried to grab Colgate's saddle bags but would be stopped when Colgate grabbed them in her aura. Twilight knew that this was probably a sign that they were full of valuables and gasped, "You killed them and then stole some of their stuff?" She became more angry and continued, "How in the name of Celestia did this happen? How could the map have called you to murder a family AND steal their valuables!"
Colgate began to laugh as Twilight became angrier, "Maybe that map of yours is calling ponies on murder missions now too!"
Twilight again tried to take Colgate's saddlebags and was able to remove them and when she looked inside, she was stunned, "What the hay? Diamond Jewelry and gold bars?"
Colgate ripped her saddlebags away from Twilight and yelled, "Hooves off! That stuff is OURS!"
Twilight again tried to take the saddlebags until Amethyst fired a bolt of energy at her and laughed, "Finders keepers Twily!" She then calmed down a bit and suggested, "Come on Colgate, let's go!"
Colgate nodded and the two ran out of the castle. They couldn't help but laugh as they heard Twilight yelling at them as they raced towards Colgate's home. Once they arrived they were pleased. Colgate led her into her bedroom where she had a safe. She suggested, "Let's put these in here for now and then tomorrow, we can go sell this stuff and hopefully be gone before all that disgusting sappiness of Hearth's Warming Eve strikes!"
Amethyst suggested, "I'm all for it but I think we probably should shower first. We can't stay covered in blood!"
Colgate agreed, "Yeah, we don't want ponies thinking we murdered somepony!"
After showering, the two decided the time to go and sell the things they stole. Amethyst suggested, "Well shall we? Shall we go and sell this stuff before Twilight comes and tries to steal it, claiming we committed some sort of crime?"
Colgate grabbed the saddlebags and said, "Sounds like a plan. If we get enough for this, I say we go to Las Pegasus and hit the casinos!" Her voice became happier as she continued, "If we strike it rich, I can bring in a pediatric dentist and never have to work on some bratty foal ever again!"
"Agreed, now lets go to that gold dealer and then get out of town." Amethyst replied.
As the two left her house and headed towards the gold dealer, they looked around in suspicion. They had a feeling that Twilight was probably lurking around in a bid to steal their stuff and keep it for herself. In the end, they were able to sell all the items they stole for a great amount of money, much more than they had dreamed of. Once they left the gold dealer Colgate suggested, "Shall we, shall we go and strike it rich?"
"Let's do it and hopefully we'll come back rich!" replied Amethyst.
