Sweet Revenge
5 - The Horrible Truth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn the Canterlot hospital, were three girls by the name of; Applebloom, Seetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They had been shot in a drive-by, and they had been seriously injured by the bullets. Although, they had heard the doctors say that they had never seen any bullets do what had happened to them before.
They were in the same room, and they had gotten word by one of the doctors that their families were coming to visit them. They were obviously a little excited, but they had all agreed to tell them the truth. That they were Anon-A-Miss all along. They knew it would be a very long and hard discussion, and they knew it had to be done. They nearly died, and knew that it would only be a matter of time before Sunset finds out its them, and perhaps she'll go after them. They were in all honesty quite frightened with the lack of emotion she showed when she killed Gilda. It was also all over the news. When they had woken up, they had watched the news and seen that Sunset was wanted for the murder of Gilda. Or, rather they knew Sunset was wanted, while the police was looking for Gilda's killer.
In the room they were in, was large white walls and floor, with two large windows that they could look out of. They had curtains around the beds if they wanted or needed some privacy. They were currently in their own line of thoughts. They knew that they would have to face the music eventually, but they didn't know if they were ready. They were in all honesty, to afraid to say anything. But, they knew it was better to tell the truth then to hide it. Applebloom's bed was decorated with flowers from some other friends and relatives that had visited her when she had been in coma. The bedsheets were green, and it suited quite well with the flowers that were on the bed.
Applebloom was in a hospital gown, and she pulled it up to see the three gunshot wounds she got from the gangster. She had no idea who it could possibly be, or if it was Sunset. Then again, they don't exactly know if Sunset even owns a vehicle. She shouldn't be so quick to assume either. There was a sudden knock on the door, and a nurse Red Heart poked her head inside. "Miss Bloom, Belle, and Scootaloo. Your family members are here, are you ready to meet them?" Nurse Red Heart asked, making them think. In reality they weren't ready at all, but what choice did they exactly have? Applebloom was the one who took the lead on this one.
"Yes nurse Red Heart. You can send them in." Applebloom said, making nurse Read Heart open the door wide to reveal their family members. Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Big Mac, and Granny Smith came through. They went to their respective family member, and hugged them for dear life carefully. The CMC felt happy, but they also felt like they didn't deserve it either. They all had tears in their eyes, and looked at each other.
"How are you feeling?" Rarity asked, the three. Rarity wasn't wearing any maskara or anything like that on her face. Her hair though, was the same. Sweetie Belle shrugged a little. She knew what was coming, she just had to hold out a little longer.
"Fine I guess, although I must say; I thought I was gonna die." Sweetie Belle said, making everyone in the room nod at her. They understood that they must have felt that way. They themselves had feared that they would lose them. Applebloom looked at Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, who noticed that she was looking at them. They nodded towards her. It was better to get it over with.
"Everyone, we got something to say." Applebloom said, catching everyone's attention easily. They turned towards her and looked at her waiting for ther to continue. "Now, before I continue. I don't want any interruptions at all. No matter how much you want to, do not do it. You need to hear it from our perspective." Applebloom looked at everyone in the room with a stern gaze. The members kind of shuddered when they saw the gaze. They nodded towards her in understanding. "We are Anon-A-Miss. Yes, I said it. We are Anon-A-Miss, and we are not proud of it at all. I was the one who created it because I was jealous that Applejack spent all of her time with Sunset Shimmer. I created the page and put out the first post. Sweetie Belle then opened up Sunset's phone that had been unlocked since the Fall Formal. She transferred the pictures over to her phone and posted it online on Mystable. Scootaloo was the person who posted the pictures of Rainbow Dash's grade, and we started to receive other information on other people at school. This continued for several days and we didn't know when to quit. And that is the tale of Anon-A-Miss. You can shout at us now if you want to."
The room became dead silent. Applejack, Rarity, and Riainbow Dash felt a piece of their soul literally leave their body. They sincerely hoped it wasn't true, but looking at Applebloom's said it all. They had done it, and the friends of Sunset Shimmer hadn't believed her. Applejack could jump of a cliff and not feel anything. She realized what she had done, she would never be able to forgive herself. Princess Twilight Sparkle... would not be happy about hearing this. Rarity was expecting something, but not that. The things she had said to Sunset... she would never be able to forgive herself. Rainbow Dash had an unreadable expression. She had absolutely no idea what to say or do, as she simply stod there letting the information sink in.
"We... we messed up." Applejack managed to say say. The other two teenage girls simply nodded in agreement. The other people in the room, looked at them surprised. Big Mac and Granny Smith looked at them with mild interest. What were they talking about? Well, if the CMC said it right here in the hospital then they should say it here right?
"Applejack, what are you talking about?" Big Mac asked, looking at his sister with suspicion. He didn't want to believe what his sister had potentially done, but if she had done it, then he had no idea what he'd do. Applejack simply looked down towards the ground and didn't look up for a very long time.
"We betrayed her. Sunset i mean." Applejack finally answered. Big Mac and Granny Smith looked at Applejack for a very long time, hoping that she had said a horrible joke. It never came...
"Wait! You betrayed the firery haired girl that has worked her butt of to redeem herself, and you betrayed her!?" Granny Smith asked, angrily. Everyone in the room except Big Mac was terrified. He had expected this sort of anger from Granny Smith, and quite frankly, he had hoped she would. "When did you betray her?"
"A-after the pictures was released on Mystable. W-we thought that she had done it. But, now when Applebloom says that her phone was easily accessible, we realize that it could also have been someone else." Applejack explained, fearfully to Granny Smith who looked like she would explode a blood vessel.
"I'm extremely disappointed in you Applejack. Your mother and father would be very angry with you and are probably rolling in their graves because of the disappointment." Granny Smith said, coldly towards Applejack who let several tears fall. Big Mac simply shook his head in anger and disappointment. He expected better from his sister. Then again, everyone makes mistakes, but from her tone it sounds like she has either done something big or said something big to sound regretful. Maybe both.
"What exactly did you do Applejack?" Big Mac asked, looking into his sisters eyes who looked depressed. She hid her face behind her cowboy hat, but Granny Smith took it forcefully and threw it against the glass window.
"I took her journal that she writes to princess Twilight Sparkle, and wrote to Twilight that Sunset had gone back to her old ways." Applejack heard a gasp from Rarity who looked horrified by what Applejack had done. Rainbow Dash still had an unreadable expression. She wasn't gonna say it was low for Applejack as she knew she would have done the exact same thing. Big Mac's jaw dropped to the floor including Granny Smith's. They knew that Applejack could do some very questionable things when angry, but that was unexpected. Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom looked at the commotion with tears in their eyes. They caused all of this, and now, Sunset was out there somewhere.
"Applejack, you better be saying a terrible joke or I swear to you, you will be disowned from the Apple family." Granny Smith said, making Applejack, Applebloom, and Big Mac's eyes widen in shock. They knew that unpleasant things would happen and be said, but that was something they didn't expect. Applejack was pale. Unhealthily pale, she did not expect that from Granny Smith. She simply looked down to the floor. She didn't know what to say, as there was nothing she could possibly say to make it better.
The room was silent and filled with tension. They all looked at each other and could see fire in Granny Smith's eyes. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash looked down towards the ground and felt their tears come out. They had pushed away a friend that was in need that had told the truth. What were they gonna do now?
Sunset was inside of a store preparing for a robbery. Luckily, Shadow Pony had blocked the cameras of seeing her face. The cashier was looking at his phone, while Sunset loaded her weapon quietly. The store was relatively small, and oddly cozy. The walls were painted in red, and the floor was wet from cleaning. There were shelves from different items in stock.
The ceiling was decorated with different snowflakes which probably was meant to bring the Christmas spirit into everyone's hearts. Sunset rolled her eyes. She didn't understand why they bothered. She certainly wouldn't waste her time like that.
Shadow Pony then consumed her body, and made her eyes glow red. She pulled out a sawed of shotgun, and rushed up to the counter. The guy who was still looking at his phone, looked up and froze. What he was seeing, was a creature of sorts that was completely covered in black with red glowing eyes. It looked pretty frightening.
"Get the money in the bag right now." Sunset said, making the guy get a bag and open the register. Sunset looked at the guy with mild interest. She simply wanted the money and nothing else, but perhaps she could kill him and fuck his corpse... Sunset took away those thoughts. She was getting those type of thoughts lately. She didn't think these thoughts until Shadow Pony came...
Sunset suddenly shot into the roof feeling anger flare up inside of her. She was in all honesty tired of waiting, as she aimed it at the guy who was rushing it. He was so terrified of being simply shot at, that he didn't notice when Sunset lowered her weapon and placed her hand against her head sensing an headache coming along. "Are you almost done? I'm kind of in a hurry." Sunset said, making the guy nod very quickly.
The guy continued to load the bag with money, while Sunset was aiming at him and feeling anger rise and subside. She was unsure of why she was feeling anger like that. It was most likely Shaodw Pony who was angry over something, but she wasn't interested unless it concerned her. The guy then gave the money bag to Sunset, being wary of her weapon. Sunset took the bag greedily and used her Shadow Pony speed to rush it out of there.
She was running away from the store, and felt the bag in her arms become more heavy. She didn't know why that was, until she looked down and saw a metal box. She grew confused. She kept running through the crowd of different people walking by, and occasionally hit someone just for the fun of it. She reached the point she wanted to reach.
The building she was inside of was an old building that was left unfinished. Or well, it is on hiatus, but the building has never been finished. She took out the metal box and looked around it. There was something that was making her want to open it. She looked around, and only saw filth, and a few pillars keeping the place in one piece. She could feel Shadow Pony growing in anticipation.
"Do you need help in opening it?" Shadow Pony asked, making Sunset think for a while. She didn't exactly have a key to open the box, so it was probably for the best.
"Yes, you are the one that can open it without any problems, so go ahead." Sunset said, making Shadow Pony jump right into it. He used his ooze to unlock all of the locks of the box that was rectangular. Sunset was waiting for him to open it, and kept looking around to make sure that there weren't any uninvited guests. Luckily, there weren't, but she still kept a look out just in case.
The stone floor had dirt and filth, but that didn't bother Sunset as she lay down and stared at Shadow Pony's ooze do the work. The ooze had a sense of calming, as Sunset continued to stare at it work to get the box to open. Finally, there was a *Click* and the box opened. What she saw inside made her cackle.
Inside was a heart that was black. Not red, literally black. It looked like it had been corrupted or something, as it was her first time ever seeing a black heart. Shadow Pony studied it for a while, and cackled himself. He knew who's heart it was, and it would be interesting to see if Shimmer was willing to take in the heart inside of her.
"That is one corrupted heart. Interested in taking it inside of you?" Shadow Pony asked, making Sunset cackle. She was indeed interested in trying out the heart. She didn't want to feel sorrow or anything like that. If the heart really was corrupt, then she was very interested in it and to never feel guilt or betrayal. All she wanted to feel was hatred.
"Yes, but do take my heart out and place it inside the box. Perhaps we can give it as a present for the Dazzlings. So they have something to remember of the 'old Sunset.'" Sunset said, making Shadow Pony let out a cackle. Sunset was slowly but surely becoming more corrupted as the days flew by. Eventually, she would be completely corrupted, and he could then use her for the invasion of Equestria. He was also gonna invade this world and take it over to make sure, he was the number one ruler.
Sunset checked the bag and saw all of the money. She started to count all of the bills, and concluded that she had earned five thousand dollars. She was smiling a bit to wide, and said to Shadow Pony; "Five thousand dollars, that's not bad."
Shadow Pony cackled a little. He knew that Shimmer would be a good companion in the future. He then looked through her mind and saw all of her despair. He said in a very low voice that only he could hear; "Not bad indeed..."
