Chapter 2: What’s Happening To Me?

Previous Chapter

He flew along, heading to his victim’s area. Twilight Sparkle. He glanced around the place here and there, but with no emotion. Chrysalis was quiet, not wanting to..disturb him. She felt..a bad aura, around him. She said none about it however. After what seemed like hours, he landed toward Ponyville, around the EverFree, and Fluttershy’s cottage. He looked over to the side, to see the cottage. His eyes widened just a bit, before smiling. Maybe visiting...one pony.. wouldn’t hurt..right? He trotted over to the cottage. He had met Fluttershy before, and she was nice...

The perfect target? She wasn’t too much of a fighter, and if he could so much as even..try! Would she fight back? Or coward in FEAR... Most likely. So would he? His thought were jumbled, yet one stayed strongly.

Kill. He didn’t notice he was already there. He took a breath, and knocked on the door. He heard steps..before the door opened. Fluttershy stood at the door, her eyes gazing at him, calmly. She greeted him, and asked him how his day was. He said it was ok, and all that biz. His thoughts were still spinning and turning. All, except for one. Kill. Kill. Kill. He tried to ignore it..but nothing would work! After he thought, he started feeling bad for killing Pharynx. He was his own brother! He just..upright stabbed him, and left him to rot.

“ ..Thorax? Are you ok? “ Fluttershy asked, sounding a bit worried. Thorax blinked, looking back at her, and..smiled.

“ Hey, Uhm..can you follow me for a moment? Please? “ He asked, walking off. Fluttershy, a bit scared, followed. Thorax tried to figure out why he was leading her away. Kill. That’s all he thought. Why? What was going on? His visions was red, and he felt himself slowly losing it. He stopped somewhere in the forest, and Fluttershy was behind him...

Perfect~

“ Uhm..T-Thorax? “ Fluttershy stuttered, cowering a bit. All she got as a reply, was a snicker..then a giggle..then a laugh. A insane laugh, at that. Fluttershy let out a scared noise, before backing away. Thorax turned to her, his eyes glowing red.

“ HAHAHA! Let’s get this over with, huh? PAL~ “ The king giggled, walking toward the Pegasus. She’d start to tear up a bit, out of fear. She got stopped by a tree, backing up against it. Fluttershy tried to talk..

“ T-Thorax..p-please.. “ But the Changeling already made his decision. He lifted her up into the air with vines, by the neck, of course. She started to choke, flailing around, terrified. Thorax just grinned, before buzzing up into the air, circling the poor Pegasus.

“ Now, to make this quick, shall we? I wouldn’t want to put you through...too much~. “ He spun around, slowly for a moment, leaving Fluttershy to slowly lose consciousness. Thorax watched, smiling, and giggling.

” That’s right...close your eyes..and don’t think about..ANYTHING~... “ The vines slowly bring her to the ground, her body limp. She’d open her eyes here, and there, before closing them again. The only thing she saw, was the creature she saw as a friend. Was he even himself? This wasn’t like him, she knew it. Before she knew it..

She was impaled. With a spiked vine.

She screamed, before silence creeped. Thorax just stood, grinning. He had killed his friend. That was two killed. He was already in that killing mood, so he wandered around, leaving Fluttershy’s body to bleed, and soon, to decay, and rot. He wandered around the forest, stomping on small critters, and even killed a manticore, with effort, of course. He could slowly feel himself going madder, and madder, each creature he killed. After a while, he got bored. So, he started heading out, before some pony caught his eye.

“ You! What did you do to poor Fluttershy?! “ The white mare accused, tears in her eyes. She had a purple mane, and she was a unicorn. Rarity, was it? Yes. That was it. He blinked, not knowing she would show up. He started to giggle.

“ Ohh, you know~. Put her to rest~. Ehehehe! “ He put a hoof to his mouth, winking. Rarity stepped back, scowling. She wasn’t going to let this..maniac kill her best friend, and get away with it!

“ Y-You—YOU MONSTER!! WAIT UNTIL I TELL TWILIGHT! SHE’LL TELL CELESTIA, AND YOU’LL BE BIG TROUB— “ She couldn’t finish her sentence, as 5 vines impaled her, immediately. Thorax was already on a killing streak, it wasn’t going to end here. His eyes shadowed, as he slowly walked toward her. Rarity could only watch in horror, somehow not dead yet. Thorax, about 2 inches from her face, glared at her, with a toothy grin.

” ..You know. Something must be wrong with your head. YOU CAN’T STOP ME!! “ He exclaimed, vines wrapping around her head. Rarity started to cry from fear, her eyes pleading for her life.

” But DON’T WORRY! I’ll fix it for you~ “ He whispered, as the vines around her head tightened. They twisted, as he heard her neck crack. Her head snapped clean off, blood pouring from it. He snickered, dropped the head. Rarity’s violet mane, was now tinted with blood. Her eyes rolled back into her head, leaving the whites of it showing. Her mouth was gaping open as well. Thorax giggled, kicking the head, before stomping on it, violently. Her skull cracked, and was crushed into pieces. The Changeling just scooped up some blood, examining it, before sighing. He just wiped it against the ground, before walking off, blood trailing behind him.


After some more walking, he was in the paths of Ponyville, the blood wasn’t trailing anymore, so he looked completely normal. Although, he couldn’t help but smile at all of the WEAKLINGS he could so easily kill! Actually—Wait-no—what? Kill? What was going on? His head honestly hurt, so he tried to not question anything. While walking, he saw a small purple dragon, standing by a taller, blue dragon. Spike and Ember. He blinked, before something sparked.

He had killed his own brother, and one of his friends...so maybe two more? Wouldn’t hurt,..right? That’s all his mindset was at this point. So, if that was is decision...

This..was going to be...F U N..
