Reconnection

Author's Note:

You may have noticed that in Chapter 7 of Reconnection, I did not show what Rarity got up to when left alone with Twilight. The following is what might have happened.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Rarity and Twilight were finally alone. Applejack was on her way back home with Rainbow Dash and Big Macintosh, to rest.
Rarity would finally get what she deserved.

She magically levitated the ball-peen hammer which she had dropped earlier, and turned to face Twilight, who still had the large bit in her mouth and couldn't speak. Twilight didn't look like she wanted to say anything. Rarity paused for a moment. She didn't give much thought to it really, but she decided she would remove the bit and let Twilight speak.

She walked over, expectantly, looking Twilight in the eyes. Twilight didn't meet her gaze, nor did she say anything.

Several moments passed, and Rarity grew annoyed. She was showing this pony a sense of mercy, a chance to get out some last words she hadn't already gotten out in their previous argument. Certainly there was something left unsaid?
Rarity gritted her teeth.

"Don't you have anything to say?" she asked, finally. Twilight turned her head, but kept her eyes looking to the side.

"Like what?" said Twilight, sounding very annoyed, and not at all concerned for her well-being. "Want me to beg? Sorry, that's not going to happen."

"That's disappointing, but not what I was thinking of."

"I don't care," said Twilight, turning her head away again.

Rarity slammed her hammer down on the table in anger, next to Twilight's knee.

"I am giving you the chance to say some final words. Because that's what decent ponies do. Anything you want to say? Come now, there must be something."

Twilight turned her head to face Rarity again, a look of calculation behind her eyes. She suddenly smiled, and Rarity found herself getting even more angry.

"I get it," said Twilight. "This isn't about me. This is about you. It couldn't be about me, what could I say that I didn't already say earlier? No, you want me to apologise to you directly. You want me to say how oh-so sorry I am for ruining your life, and killing your stupid friends. Well, you're not getting that. So just hurry up and kill me already. I have things to be doing."

Rarity's jaw dropped, before clamping down hard in anger. Why couldn't she have just keep Twilight gagged? Now she just wanted Twilight dead, and so lifted the hammer up magically once again, only to slam it down as hard as she possibly could on Twilight's skull.

Rarity blinked as drops of blood splattered on her face. The sickening sound of Twilight's skull caving in should have been music to her ears.

But it just made her sick.
