the Shadows of Hollow Elements
Chapter 1: Fluffy, Spongy, and Bloody
Load Full StoryNext ChapterPonyville sat just beyond the hill as it held six ponies with various emotions as they peered upon the chaotic stonework of their own creation.
"Hey Fluttershy, what did Discord mean when he warned us about 'butterflies'?" Applejack turned to the yellow pegasus.
"I'm not sure," Fluttershy rubbed her chin as she frowned.
"Knowing Discord he said that to cause confusion," Rarity rolled her eyes at the stone.
"I don't want to give Discord any credit but he did seem genuine about the warning," Rainbow rubbed the back of her head.
"I see the princess coming..." Twilight frowned as she looked to the sky.
"Hey, its okay Twilight. I know you hate to let down Celestia but its better this way," Pinkie trotted in front of Twilight with a smirk.
"Yeah, its my fault Twilight. I'm sorry I couldn't change Discord," the yellow pegasus spoke in defeat.
"No, its okay Fluttershy, we should have backed you up more," Twilight turned to the group in a sigh. "I'm glad its over, we made the right decision."
Five ponies turned to Twilight with a nod and then group looked as Celestia's chariot landed. The chariot was pulled by four stallions of the Royal Guard, while the throne itself reflected the light of the sun perfectly.
After she got down from her throne she trotted to the six ponies, "I see that Discord had been turned back into stone," Celestia said in a frown.
"I'm sorry Celestia I-"
Celestia brought her hoof up calmly to stop Twilight, "It is alright Twilight. Discord is a truly evil being, if all of you agreed to seal him back to stone then I'm sure it was the right decision," she frowned at the stone. "We could try again at a later time."
"I'm not sure that would help," Fluttershy said with a unsure expression. "I don't want to see my friends all hurt again."
Celestia turned to the collection of frowning faces then back to the chaotic stone prison, "Then... I will secure Discord deep within the castle walls so that he holds no hope to escape," Celestia trotted to Twilight, "I think Equestria would be safer if you held onto the Elements of Harmony."
"I understand!" Twilight said as she nodded.
A flame flickers behind a tree, it was light gray and produced no sound or light, the flame had a single sharp tooth poking out. The flame hid while listening to a group of six ponies as they talked amongst themselves.
"Celestia wants us to keep the Elements of Harmony so make sure that you put it somewhere safe that you are sure no one can get to," Twilight said to the group.
The toothed flame listened carefully making sure it heard every last detail. After the group split the flame followed Twilight as she trotted into town, the flame hid behind various buildings, shops, and carts as it trailed her. Finally she reached her home and she opened the door flawlessly with magic and looked behind her with narrow eyes as she closed the door. The flame flew next to the tree wall until it found a open window to sneak into.
The CMCs were unusually giddy as they trotted to the club house, most fillies were, summer break just started after all.
"Are you guys excited, because I know I am!" Scootaloo's smile was so wide it almost extended off her face. She was on her scooter and drove in circles around her friends.
"Yeah, I can't wait to spend the whole summer in the club house with you two!" glee filled Sweetie's face.
"It's going to be the best summer ever!" Apple Bloom was filled with delight. "Sadly Ah can't join yawl until I finish all mah summer chores. It should only take a few days though."
"Don't remind me.." Scootaloo said in a gloomy tone but was still full of excitement.
"Make sure you finish as soon as you can, we can't wait until we can start our summer long crusading!" Sweetie smirked.
"Yeah, its going to be amazing!" Apple Bloom also smirked then became a little bit more serious. "Remember the rules! Sense we are going to be sleeping on the farm that means-"
"We lock up the doors and board up the windows when it turns night and never go outside for any reason!" Scootaloo responded awaiting praise.
"Right, the land is cursed! Or at least that's what Applejack tells me," Apple Bloom shrugged.
"Have you ever seen anything by the way?" Sweetie turned to Apple Bloom.
"Not exactly, Ah have heard scratching noises sometimes when Ah stay up too late. Ah rather not go into too much detail but one night we forgot to board up the chicken coop and the whole night none of use could sleep because of the screeching chickens. Mah sister wouldn't let me see what happened but mah curiosity got the better of me, that was a terrible mistake. Imagine not being able to sleep because every time you close your eyes you see this horrid image, then hearing the sound of whatever caused it outside your window, just scratching-"
"Apple Bloom, please stop. Scootaloo is scared," Sweetie stopped Apple Bloom and pointed to Scootaloo while she was on the ground with her hooves over her ears.
"Oh shoot, Ah'm sorry Scootaloo! Ah forgot you're scared of spooky stories," Apple Bloom rushed over to Scootaloo and gave her a hug.
"I-Its okay Apple Bloom," Scootaloo stopped shaking as she started to blush. "B-But I don't want you to get hurt, maybe we should find another place to stay for the summer."
"NO!.. Sorry I didn't mean to yell. It's not the safest place in Equestria but we will have soo much freedom to do what we want," Sweetie smirked.
"She's right, Ah know its scary but as long as you're following the rules there isn't any reason to be worried," Apple Bloom helped Scootaloo up off of the ground.
"I understand," Scootaloo said with a small smile.
The sun rose and shot light in-between two planks of wood nailed behind a window. The light landed on Sweetie's eyes and she shot up as a single tear flung from her face. She calmed her fight or flight response as she breathed heavily, after becoming relaxed she trotted to Scootaloo as she laid on her back against a soft bean bag, she drooled into the wooden floor below her.
"Hey, hey Scootaloo," she nudged the orange pegasus.
"Huh.." Scootaloo slowly got up as her eyes started to focus on the white unicorn.
"I'm hungry, lets go to Sugarcube Corner," Sweetie responded as her friend wiped her eyes.
"Sure is Apple Bloom coming?" she smiled.
"No, she has to work today," Sweetie answered with a frown.
"Oh.. Right, let me wake up a little bit first." Scootaloo said in a sad tone.
The two fillies sat on the bean bags, one of them stared out the window with a frown while the other wiped her eyes in a yawn. After a little bit they both made their way to Sugarcube Corner. The inside of the place of sweets was empty until Scootaloo and Sweetie belle stood in the doorframe.
"Is it open?" Scootaloo looked to Sweetie in confusion.
"Um, yeah it should be. Pinkie said that she would feed us if we ever came by." Sweetie looked back in a frown.
"Maybe she is just in the back," Scootaloo smirked as she moved forward.
After trotting half way inside Scootaloo got a shiver, the atmosphere was heavy and made it hard to breath. The walls looked as though they towered above her, the light seemed to move in unusual ways, yet she couldn't coward, something was not right. Finally a warm hoof lands on her back and she turned back to see Sweetie Belle.
"Are you okay?" Sweetie said in a uneasy tone.
Scootaloo nodded, she knew she didn't have to explain herself simply by looking at Sweetie's face. Together they trotted slowly behind the counter then found themselves in the back room. They both were unable to keep their eyes off of a door, it was open by just a jar but it called for them. They felt as though they had to open the door. Scootaloo wanted as far away as possible but also wanted to be extremely close to Sweetie Belle so she clamed onto her as they slowly made their way to the door.
Sweetie put her hoof on the door and began to slowly open it as it creaked, it was the only sound they could hear. Inside revealed a staircase, a crooked wooden staircase that lead down to a single door. Their hearts ached, they wanted out soo bad but now it was impossible, Sweetie picked up her hoof and moved it over the first step. A sound of panting from behind them, Pinkie stood in the doorframe of the back room as sweat came from her forehead and her tail was moving at a incredible speed.
"What do you girls want to eat?" Pinkie smiled.
Scootaloo and Sweetie looked to each other then back to Pinkie.
"A-Anything sounds good," Sweetie smirked as she trotted out of the back room while Pinkie stood next to the doorframe and stared at her.
Pinkie's gaze turned to Scootaloo as she stood by the door to the staircase and a immense feeling came over her. Dread.
"S-S-S-SAmE!" Scootaloo stumbled her words as she moved as quick as she could out of the back room.
Scootaloo and Sweetie both trotted to the front door but Pinkie quickly stopped them.
"Here is your cupcakes!" Pinkie handed Scootaloo a purple cupcake and Sweetie a pink. Then she motioned her hoof to one of the empty tables.
Scootaloo and Sweetie once again turned to each other and made their way to the vacant table in silence. They both sat down and put their cupcakes on the table in front of them, the last thing their mind was on was eating. The atmosphere was extremely heavy as Pinkie stood at the edge of the table.
"I need to tell you girls something." Pinkie looked to them with a immense stare. She quickly closed all of the blinds and locked the doors. "I... I.. Have a unhealthy obsession with humans." Pinkie looked dead serious.
"You mean those cartoon characters with-"
"With the weird limbs, small heads, and hands... Yes.." Pinkie looked away as a tear filled her eye.
Scootaloo and Sweetie for the final time looked to each other but with small smirks as the heavy atmosphere lifted. However somewhere in the back of each of their minds told them that this place was not safe.
"I need the both of you to Pinkie promise to never tell anypony about that room or my obsession!" Pinkie turned to them doing a Pinkie promise with a serious face.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" They both said together.
"Awesome! If you two ever grow up and want to know more about humans let me know," Pinkie smiled. "Hey, its summer break, have you two done anything?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for Apple Bloom before we fully get the summer started," Scootaloo smiled.
"She is going to do all of her summer chores before hanging out with us," Sweetie smirked at Scootaloo.
"I'm sure you girls will have gut wrenching, action packed, summer with some thrills!" Pinkie threw some confetti into the air.
"Um, thanks.." Sweetie smirked. "Anyways I think me and Scootaloo are going to head back," she picked up her cupcake and left her seat, Scootaloo also did the same.
"Alright well you two girls have fun!" Pinkie gave both of them a hug.
"We will, bye Pinkie!" Scootaloo waved her hoof.
Sweetie Belle nodded and left while Scootaloo followed closely behind. Scootaloo ate her pink cupcake as she followed Sweetie, the further Sweetie got from Sugarcube Corner the faster she trotted. Eventually she started galloping when they got to the park and Scootaloo kept up.
"Sweetie Belle, what's the matter?" Scootaloo asked with concern.
Sweetie stopped as she threw her orange cupcake on the ground and turned around to her friend with a fearful expression. "W-Whatever was down there, it was not a collection of humans," Sweetie said in a upset voice.
"Then what was down there?" Scootaloo shook.
"I-I don't know," Sweetie hugged herself.
Scootaloo trotted to Sweetie and gave her a hug, she returned it as they closed there eyes and began to calm down.
"Sweetie Belle, whatever is the matter?" came from a familiar voice.
Sweetie opened her eyes as her pupils grew tiny, Scootaloo's eyes opened and she saw a white unicorn standing over them.
"Is everything alright?" Rarity asked with a worried expression but it looked a little off.
"Y-Yeah" Sweetie said looking away as she let go of the hug, Scootaloo let go of the hug as well.
"That's good, have you been enjoying your summer?" Rarity smirked, but again, Scootaloo thought it looked off.
Sweetie nodded as she looked to Scootaloo with a frown.
"That's wonderful!" Rarity smiled as she clapped her hooves softly. "Anyways Sweetie Belle I was wondering if we could hang out today, its been awhile sense we had some sister bonding!"
Scootaloo saw Sweetie's face worsen as she looked up to Rarity, "Um, I'm doing stuff with Scootaloo right now, and I guess its okay if we do some sister bonding here in town if Scootaloo can join!"
"Whatever do you mean? You will be spending all summer with Scootaloo, I have a design back at the house I know you will love!" Rarity smiled.
"Can I see the design too?" Scootaloo faked a smile.
"Are you sure? I thought you didn't like things like that?" Rarity raised her eyebrow.
Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo with a far off stare. "Yeah... You don't like that kind of stuff."
"Alright well I don't want to keep you for too long, come on Sweetie Belle!" Rarity smirked as she began trotting away.
Sweetie continued to stare at Scootaloo with a blank look, Scootaloo looked back with a mixture of emotion and wanted to say soo much but nothing came out.
"Come on Sweetie Belle!" Rarity smiled.
Sweetie Belle looked down and began following her sister.
Sweetie laid on a red pillow as she uncontrollably shook while tears continued to endlessly flow. She was making grunting, whimpering, and sobbing noises. Scootaloo sat above her with sewing tools in one hoof.
"Sweetie, please stop shaking.. I don't want to accidently hurt you!" she said as tears ran down her face.
Scootaloo held down a chunk of flesh that was almost entirely cut off, she took the needle and poked it through her flesh as Sweetie made another grunting noise.
"I-I'm sorry Sweetie Belle. I should have tried harder to protect you..." Scootaloo tried her best to stop shaking.
As she continued it was harder and harder to see where to put the needle as the blood continued to get in the way. Scootaloo wiped her face of tears with her bloody hoof leaving a red stain on her fur, she was almost done. Suddenly a loud scratching came from the door as Sweetie still made whimpering noises only causing the 'thing' on the other side to grow more restless.

Sunlight filled the clubhouse, Sweetie was wrapped up in a blanket as she laid on one of the bean bags, she stared outside the window between the wooden planks. Scootaloo sat against the podium as she stared into the wooden floorboards. There was a long silence in the room, the only thing that broke it was the sounds of birds chirping.
"You know its not your fault.." Sweetie stated expressionless.
Scootaloo narrowed her eyes as she was filled with sullen. The room once again fell into a silent awkward mess.
"Scootaloo... You like Apple Bloom don't you?" Sweetie asked with a hollow smirk.
"Of course I do, I like the both of you," Scootaloo gave a heartfelt smile.
Sweetie smiled genuinely, "No I mean-" she cut herself off. "Nevermind."
Once again silence filled the room. Sweetie sat up slightly as a tearing pain filled her body, she looked at Scootaloo with a serious expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn-"
"Don't apologize," Scootaloo looked away.
"Then.. Thank you, for last night," Sweetie sat back, "Ow!" a sharp pain shot through her spine.
Scootaloo looked at Sweetie Belle with pity then looked away as she bit her lip.
A flame sat just outside the clubhouse, it was light gray with a fang and gave off no light. The flame decided it heard enough and set off further into Sweet Apple Acres.
Sweetie sat on the beanbag as she flipped the page of her book, she giggled at the book as a smirk grew on her face, the page had a knight kneeing before the princess in the deepest chamber of the darkest castle and the knight picked her up for the rescue. Scootaloo tried to balance a ball on her nose but it continued to fall onto the wooden floor without fail, each time a thud was heard. Suddenly the door opened and both fillies turned to it, Apple Bloom trotted inside with a large bag and she threw it on the floor beside her.
"Its time for summer!" Apple Bloom smiled.
"APPLE BLOOM!" Scootaloo's radiant smile filled the room.
"Glad you made it," Sweetie smirked as she sat her fairy tale book down.
"Yep! Oh, Ah brought tons of stuff," she started digging through the giant bag. "Tennis rackets, tools, a large supply of apples with other foods, and plenty more."
"That's awesome!" Scootaloo dug through the bag as well.
"Ah might also have to go back to the farm once in a while to help with harvesting," Apple Bloom smirked.
"That's okay, I meetup with Rainbow every week anyways," Scootaloo took out a pair of binoculars.
"When are you doing that this week?" Sweetie asked.
"Tomorrow," Scootaloo looked at Apple Bloom through the binoculars.
"Well Crusader's, the day is still early so lets go get some cutie marks!" Apple Bloom threw her hoof into the air as she trotted behind the podium. "What do we want to do today?"
Scootaloo trotted in front of the podium with a smile and Sweetie Belle did the same.
Sweetie rubbed her chin with her hoof and an idea came to her, she lifted her hoof and opened her mouth to speak but suddenly the door to the clubhouse was thrown shut. The three fillies looked to the door in confusion as it seemed the air they breathed felt wrong. A magic blast came from the center of the clubhouse and extended around forty feet from the origin, it didn't harm the CMC's or seem to do anything. Apple Bloom trotted to her friends as they continued to look around the room.
"I have a suggestion," said the walls, the voice sounded genderless.
Apple Bloom trotted in front of the group still looking around, "W-What's your suggestion?" she frowned.
"I can give each of you one wish, but first I need you three to do something," the voice echoed.
"And... What do you want us to do?" Apple Bloom narrowed her eyes.
"I need the three of you to gather the six Elements of Harmony and bring it to me in Canterlot," the voice boomed.
"Is there anything else?" Apple Bloom continued to look about the room.
"I will give guidance and help when needed," the voice stated.
"Let me talk to my friends, we will have a decision after that," Apple Bloom turned to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
Scootaloo looked at Apple Bloom but then shook her head and stared at Sweetie Belle, "We need to do it."
"Ah think this 'voice' is a little suspicious, lets say we do exactly as it says, then Equestria won't have any powers to stop evil creatures from taking everything from us. Let alone if it will actually give us a wish," Apple Bloom frowned.
Both fillies looked to Sweetie as she was filled with fear, her bleak eyes narrowed.
"Are you okay Sweetie?" Apple Bloom tilted her head.
"Apple Bloom can you leave the room for just one second..." Scootaloo bit her lip.
"Um.. Okay," Apple Bloom looked puzzled as she trotted outside slowly.
"Listen Sweetie, we have to do this!" Scootaloo whispered.
"Do you have any idea what Rarity would do if she found out I took her element?" tears formed on Sweetie's face.
"That is-"
"S-She tore me open and stitched me back together, over, and over again. I-I couldn't move, I was bedrid-"
Scootaloo hugged Sweetie as she continued to cry, "That is exactly why we have to do this."
"Alright Ah'm heading bac-" Apple Bloom trotted inside and saw the two hugging as Sweeties face was filled with tears. She rushed over, "Sweetie Belle, is everything okay?" she joined the hug with extreme worry.
"A-Apple Bloom.. We need to take this offer," Sweetie said slowly while sobbing.
Apple Bloom turned around after letting go of the hug, "VOICE!" she yelled.
"Yes," echoed through the walls.
"We accept your offer! Ah swear if yawl are deceiving us then there will be hell to pay," a flame grew from Apple Bloom's eyes.
"Good! As a sign of good faith I put up a barrier around the clubhouse. For anypony who wants to cause any of you harm and also the Element Bearers, will not be able to get through it. I will tell you where each of the Elements of Harmony are, who will you take from first?" the voice asked.
Apple Bloom turned back to her friends as Sweetie still cried in the arms of Scootaloo, Scootaloo smirked at Apple Bloom with a sullen face. Apple Bloom looked around again, "Ah guess Pinkie Pie," Apple Bloom shrugged.
"I would not suggest Laughter or Loyalty yet," the voice grew quite.
"Well, getting the hard ones out of the way first is usually the best," Apple Bloom looked determined.
"Fine.. The Element of Laughter is hidden behind a door at the bottom of a staircase from the back room of Sugarcube Corner," the voice stated.
"Sounds easy!" Apple Bloom smiled.
"Beware of Pinkie sense! Also my time here is up, I will contact you three again whenever I gather enough magic," the voice fizzled out and the air grew easier to breath.
"This is going to be a cake walk, right guys?" Apple Bloom turned back to the unmoving horrified faces of her friends. "R-Right?"
Apple Bloom lead the group as she trotted with confidence, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo followed behind without nearly the same enthusiasm.
"Apple Bloom, something more is going on here!" Sweetie tried to reason with her.
"Yeah, Ah know! Ah left yawl in that room for a minute and Ah come in and yawl two are crying!" Apple Bloom continued onward.
"No, with that room. Me and Sweetie found it the other day and Pinkie was acting really strange," Scootaloo frowned.
"Pinkie always acts strange. Look we need to get her element anyways and Ah know for a fact she is hosting a party right now," Apple Bloom smirked. "Look, you two don't have to come along, Ah can do this by myself! If Ah get caught then it ain't that big of a deal."
"It would be a big deal, it would be a huge deal!" Sweetie said in a worried tone.
"Look, we are here and you two ain't going to stop me. So either you two come along, stay out here, or tell me why yawl were crying," Apple Bloom stomped her hoof down in front of Sugarcube Corner.
Sweetie looked away ashamed while Scootaloo bit her lip.
"That's what Ah thought!" Apple Bloom turned around and trotted into the depths of the shop of sweets.
Sweetie and Scootaloo looked at each other and slowly trotted inside behind Apple Bloom. The atmosphere was just as oppressive as before but it didn't seem to affect Apple Bloom as she trotted confidently to the back room. Sweetie and Scootaloo followed her into the back as she opened the creaking door and peered down into the dusty room, she motioned her hoof to Sweetie and Scootaloo to come closer.
Apple Bloom looked dead serious as her friends came close, "These wooden stairs suck, Ah mean they aren't even built right!" Apple Bloom whispered.
"GO! I don't want to be here when she comes back!" Sweetie whispered angrily.
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo continued their plunge while Sweetie slowly closed the door behind them trying not to make a noise. After she shut the door there was hardly any light except for the flickering dim light above and whatever caused light to bleed under the door at the bottom. Because of the state of the stairs they only moved forward every time the light flickered on. Apple Bloom got to the bottom first and waited at a tiny opening for her friends, once they were all behind her she put her hoof on the door handle and turned it.
The door opened in silence, although the three fillies were unsure if that was because it truly was silent but they didn't think about the door. There was a smell, one that Sweetie Belle recognizes when she is at home with her sister, one that Apple Bloom recognizes from not locking the chickens in their coop, one that Scootaloo recognizes from the times she held a sewing needle, that was the smell of blood.
Pinkie ran as fast as she could through the town, she jumped over food carts, she slid under a crowd of ponies, and she weaved in and out of alleys with ease. Her tail was shaking at a crazy speed and she had a huge smile on her face. She thought about how tasty Apple Bloom will think her new cupcake recipe will be, she thought about when it would finally be time for Apple Bloom, the utter despair would crush her, she thought about how amazing it would be to keep Apple Bloom alive for weeks as she slowly took pieces from her and when it was finally time to take the final piece she would feel nothing because everything that she held dear was already lost. But she was also excited for the next few moments.
Pinkie flew into Sugarcube Corner making loud stomps with every hoofstep, she purposefully tried to slow down to create more thrills and let them find a proper hiding place but she couldn't help but to fly down the stairs. She flew open the door and it revealed her favorite place, a smallish room with a operating table standing in the middle of the room, everything at least had some form of dried blood or some kind of skin as a form of decoration. The lights were a dim red, making it difficult to see but Pinkie knew her way around this place like the back of her hoof.
"Hello Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo!" Pinkie could hardly hold back her excitement. "You two are either hiding in the fridge, in the pantry cabinet, in the closet, or under my table!" Pinkie's face was filled with a corrupted smile.
Pinkie went over to her table and looked under it, "Nope! I would have been very disappointed if that was your best choice," Pinkie smiled. She trotted to the closet, "This would be the smartest place to hide," Pinkie's tail shifted in a weird way as she opened the door and a bloodied shovel lands on her face, "DAMNIT!" Pinkie yelled.
Pinkie staggered back into the operating table. She collected herself and trotted to the table to picked up a mirror, one she used so many times to show her 'patients' what she was working on, she looked into it as a large cut started to create a stream of blood from her cheek. She was filled with frowns as she grabbed a clean rag and held it to the wound. She looked down to her tail as it laid dormant, her face was crumbled with disgust.
"There is a few more places to check but if I missed a party for nothing I am going to be furious!" Pinkie trotted over to the cabinet. "This is probably the safest place to hide," as she held her hoof over the door a loud SNAP filled the air. Her face was filled with anger as she pushed the cabinet out of the way and it revealed a mouse whimpering as it scratched anywhere it could, it tried freeing itself from the trap it found itself in.
Pinkie picked up the trap and laid it on the table with a annoyed face, she dug in her bag and brought out a tiny operating table, she also brought out a tiny table that looked identical to the table she put it on, even the tools on both tables were the same albeit smaller. Pinkie picked up the trap and took the mouse out of it and held it with an iron grip. The mouse looked back with pleading eyes as a worried squeak came from it. Pinkie looked at it with disgust, "I can't have you going back to Fluttershy, if you were even slightly intelligent you would know that."
The mouse scratched furiously and wiggled as fast as it could while squeaking as though it were in pain. Pinkie slammed its head into the metal table, "DON'T MAKE THIS DIFFICULT!" Pinkie laughed. The mouse regained consciousness and started to struggle again. Pinkie took the mouse and repeatedly slammed its head on the edge of the metal table, with each slam the table shook and the tools bounced as a loud thud could be heard each time, she broke its neck but Pinkie didn't stop, she brought the mouse above her head again as its lifeless head bobbles about and she threw it down creating a louder thud, with every hit the skin tore more and more until it was only attached by a single stretched bit of flesh, Pinkie continued to slam its head into the table like a Morningstar. The head finally detached and flew into the wall behind her. Pinkie laughed and laughed, she couldn't get enough but it seemed her fun was over as she put the rest of the corpse still in her hooves down on the table.
Something caught Pinkie's attention on the table, she picked up the tiny operating table and flipped it over, she looked all over the table and found a tiny book and a tiny blue neckless, she put them back into the bottom of the tiny operating table as it fit into place.
Pinkie sat down and looked up into the red light with a frown. "Rarity really needs to hide her wounds more, with all of her makeup its quite obvious... Right Sweetie Belle?" there was a long silence, Pinkie looked down sorrowful. "Scootaloo did you know that Rainbow has probably killed more ponies then the rest of us five combined?"
Pinkie got up and trotted over to the fridge and opened it. "You guys aren't in here either," Pinkie frowned. "You know when I moved the cabinet it was a lot more heavier then normal," Pinkie trotted to the cabinet. She put her hoof on the door and slowly opened it, the red light filled the interior of the tall cabinet and Pinkie saw the upper half of Derpy's corpse, Pinkie looked at the corpse in confusion. "I did not put you in there?" Pinkie picked up the corpse from the meat hook that stood her up. Derpy's head rolled back as her eye fell out. Pinkie dropped the corpse on the ground, "I'm going back to the party," Pinkie said in a tired tone.
Pinkie left the room as she took a white rag and held it to her bleeding cheek. There was a long silence in the room. The front door shutting upstairs echoed throughout Sugarcube Corner followed by more silence.
A filly landed on the ground bellow with bags under her eyes as tears endlessly flowed, the yellow earth pony trotted to the operating table and searched under it as another filly lands on the floor and looked back up to the white unicorn standing at the top of the tall pantry cabinet. The unicorn jumped down and the pegasus caught her, as Apple Bloom searched the two looked at the corpse of Derpy and the mouse with utter defeat and despair.
Apple Bloom took out a blue neckless from under the operating table and the three ponies looked at each other not with the satisfaction of getting such an item but with pure hatred and fear. None of them said anything, even if they wanted to speak there would be nothing to say.

Author's Note
First I would like to thank everyone for reaching the end of chapter one! Hopefully everyone enjoyed it. Also I swear that the CMCs are actually my favorite characters and not characters that I love to kill / make them depressed.
If you haven't pieced it together by now allow me to explain that chapter one is based off of the creepypasta Cupcakes, a well known story within the community. The rest of the chapters will focus on different creepypastas or ones of my own design like Applejack's and Twilight's chapter. Although I have read most of these stories I will be changing them around to fit the story better, for instance Butterflies on paper is practically the same as Cupcakes so I will be changing things to make it more unique, also I will change characters motives from their original stories to fit with the overarching story better. Its rather difficult fitting all of these stories in the same one and making sure that this story is unique in presentation and atmosphere. I am sure another story like this one exist but I haven't read any. Despite the concept of the story not being unique I do hope that everyone did enjoy what they read!
I will try and get these out weekly because of the length of these chapters alongside the amount of attention I need for some of the aspects of the story. I am not done with the story yet, I wanted to finish it all before posting chapter 1 but it is taking a lot longer then I thought. I'm not suffering writers block which is good but I am getting rather burnt out and I don't want to half ass this story so it might take even longer.
Anyways thank you for completing the chapter and Author's Notes! Hope to see yawl in chapter two!
Next Chapter
