A Diamond's Revenge

Two weeks had passed by and Diamond Tiara had done a very good job of hiding the fact that she had killed her mother. At school, she showed her normal behavior and when her and Silver Spoon hung out, she was her usual self. She was not about to allow anything to give herself away.

When her father returned home two weeks later, he found Diamond Tiara in the kitchen actually cooking something for herself, which was something that she hadn't done until recently. When he saw that she was cooking eggs and had bread in the toaster he asked, "Diamond Tiara, where is Spoiled? Where is your mother?"

Diamond knew that this was going be another moment that would test her but knew she could handle it. She looked him straight in the eyes and said, "I don't know. I woke up this morning and she was simply gone. I thought she headed out early with some of her friends and left me to fend for myself." She became more confident and continued, "And that is why I'm cooking my own breakfast."

Filthy was impressed that she was showing that she didn't need anypony around to take care of her, "Well I'm glad you're able to fend for yourself. Now while you cook your breakfast and eat it, I'm going to go out looking for Spoiled."

Filthy was perplexed as his wife had never went out and about that early in the morning. Normally she would be up early, prepare them their breakfast and then usually get herself "all dolled up" before going out to mingle with the other wealthy ponies around ten in the morning. He headed to the rich side of town and discovered that many rich ponies were out and about mingling, but none of them were Spoiled.

He approached many of them asking about Spoiled and none of them had seen her although it was plainly obvious that many of them didn't really seem to care as out of the two, he was the one they liked while they merely tolerated her presence for him.

After checking in the wealthy side of town, he headed to the local police department to see if they had any information on her. Outside the station he saw the police chief, Officer Gold Badge. He approached him and said, "Officer, I need to file a missing pony report."

Gold Badge led him inside and asked, "Who is it that you'd like to report missing?"

Filthy replied, "My wife Spoiled. I just got back from a business trip early this morning and she wasn't home. Diamond Tiara hadn't seen her this morning either and this isn't like her."

Gold Badge grabbed the proper paperwork and replied, "Well this is very early to be filing a missing pony report. Normally somepony has to have been missing for a day or so but I'll file it and maybe somepony will have seen her. If they do, we'll let you know."

"Thanks," replied Filthy, "I appreciate it."

As Filthy headed home the words of the officer were fresh in his head but he still wondered why she would leave so early in the morning, well before she normally would. When he got home he threw his hooves up in the air and sighed, "What could have happened to her Diamond Tiara? Why would she just leave like this?

Diamond replied, "I don't know father. Like I said, I got up and she was simply gone."

Filthy thought that Diamond didn't seem to care nearly enough but knew that the reason for that was that her and Spoiled hadn't got along all that well for years. As he headed into his bedroom to unpack his suitcase, he couldn't help but remember all the times that they had done together ever since they first met.

All those memories were hitting him hard and while he was always the type that tried to put up a strong front, he knew that he was alone in his bedroom and he began to sob quietly. He knew that if Diamond Tiara caught him crying, that she wouldn't think any less of him.

Nearly eight months had passed and it was the middle of May. In Ponyville, it was warm and the school year was coming close to ending and Diamond Tiara was only a couple weeks away from graduating. She was becoming more and more excited as her father had made plans to send her to Manehattan University to study economics starting in the fall. While the absence of Spoiled Rich did still cause Filthy some sadness on big days such as major holidays and what would have been her birthday, outside of the slight concern of her body being found, her mother had completely faded from her mind.

On a Saturday morning Diamond and her father were enjoying breakfast when there was a knock on the door. Filthy headed to answer it and would be surprised to see it was Officer Gold Badge. He said, "Oh hi officer, how can I help you?"

Gold Badge asked, "May I come in?"

Filthy replied, "Certainly."

The officer headed in and sat down in their living room. Filthy called out to Diamond and said, "Diamond Tiara, I need you in the living room."

Diamond replied, "Coming father."

When Diamond arrived in the front room, she was shocked to see that the chief of police was in there. One small part of her was worried that perhaps it had been discovered that she was responsible for Spoiled's disappearance but that would vanish when she heard the officer state what he was there for.

"Mr. Rich," the officer began "as you know it has been seven months since your wife's disappearance. We have had ponies searching all over the place for her. Given that ponies have been searching for well over six months and have found nothing, we will be ending the search and she has been presumed dead. If any remains are spotted or found, we will do DNA testing to confirm whether it is her or not." He saw Filthy's face drop and continued, "I'm sorry Mr. Rich but we have went well beyond what we normally do to find her."

Filthy began to cry while Diamond sat there doing her best to keep her cool and not break into a smile since the police department had presumed her dead. Gold Badge turned to Diamond Tiara and added, "I'm sorry about your mom, we did everything we could."

Diamond Tiara faked a sniffle, "I understand officer, I know you did your best."

Gold Badge spend a couple more minutes with them before heading back to the station. Not much was said between the two as Filthy knew that his daughter wasn't exactly all that distraught over her being presumed dead. He headed up to his bedroom and closed the door to mourn his wife being presumed dead while Diamond broke into a smile. She headed out into the backyard and stood over where her body was buried. She looked down and laughed, "And this mother, this is what happens when parents rape their children. Karma's a bitch, isn't it?"
