Sweet as Cupcakes

"Alright Sour, put the needle to the base of her neck right by her collar bone." Alice said, watching the unicorn levitate the needle to it's mark. "That will disable her magic completely and allow us to have our, way with Rarity here."

Doing as she was told Sour pushed the needle in, injecting the pale blue liquid into her creators neck before putting it in the red sharps container. Despite what the two were doing she couldn't help the excitement that came with not only getting revenge, but at the prospect of learning Alice's cupcake recipe for herself. Heading to the woman's side she happily bounced in place, Alice's tail brushing over her back as Rarity let out a small groan, blinking slowly awake.

"Oh, oh, your awake!"

"Pinkie?" Rarity groaned, blinking a few times to adjust to the blinding light that was aimed right in her eyes. "Where are we?"

"I'm not Pinkie Pie silly! It's ne Sour!" Sour laughed softly. "You should know, you made me after all!"

"Sour, release me you foul girl!"

"No can do! Alice said she was going to teach me how to make her yummy-dumy cupcakes for an early birthday gift!"

"Alice?"

"Chesire." Alice responded stepping forward. "Rarity dear, I did tell you you would find out what I did with the people I took. You want to take a wild guess now?"

"Where are we?"

"Under the Sugarcube in the Mirror World. No need to worry no one can hear us, it's before store hours, and well Sugan and Spice both know about my little operation. I'm just teaching Sour here here and who better that the woman who tortured her in the name of a false deity. That went so far to try and bring back Nightmare Moon thinking she was the goddess that you wanted."

"Oh! I know who the gods of the other worlds are! Alyssa Wayne, Heart Bright and Ace Winters!"

"Ace isn't a god, she's only got her powers due to her being connected to the Wonderland part of the Chess board. They would probably be willing to explain, it's kinda complicated." Alice waved a hove. "Right now we have a pony to dissect."

"Die-" Rarity's eyes became pinpricks as it finally hit her, a strained gasp escaping her lips. "You monsters!"

"Oh, yeah undoubtably. No one is arguing that. I mean we have standards but I will accept monster."

"Where do we start?"

"Since we only really need one cutie mark, I'll show you how to skin a leg and let you do the other one. It you de it cleanly I'll see if I can make it into something for you in our world. Things like this, if cared for properly, like basic fabric will go through portals. It just has to be made right."

"Okay!"

Smiling brightly Alice levitated headed up to the table, taking a scalpel in her hoof and heading up to the now struggling unicorn. "Alright, you are going to want to use your hooves for this, so you can focus your magic on keeping the leg still a bit better, and on pealing the mark as you cut."

Sour nodded as Alice's maroon magic surrounded the unicorns leg, the blue unicorn bringing the knife to her flank and resting it on the skin. "This part is a little tricky, but you want to just-" As Alice sliced into the skin Rarity screamed in agony as blood spilled down her leg. "-Get under the skin. Gripping with the blood can also be tricky, but it's good to learn so you don't stretch your magic too many ways."

"It's kind of line combat magic."

"Yeah, think about it kind of like combat magic." The blue unicorn nodded, ignoring their victims screams of pain and terror.
"Only some ponies can do that with their horn directly, for us it's best that we just do it this way."

"Okay." Sour nodded, watching as Alice slowly and methodically cut away the large patch of fur, levitating it to a rack off to the side. "I don't do my tanning. that's actually the Carpenter's job, alright, now, why don't you have a go?"

"Please! Don't do this to me!"

"I don't think you have the right to beg for mercy." Alice scolded, smirking coldly. "What do you think Sour?"

"I think your right Alice. Besides I do want to learn how to do this! It's a bonding experience." Sour responded, pining the sniveling woman's other leg, taking the scalpel from Alice. "I will say this will probably hurt more I mean I've never done this before."

Sour pulled the knife back ramming it into the pony's leg, just above where the real cut would be made. As Rarity screamed Sour twisted the knife and Alice let out a small chuckle. It was clear that Sour was taking a sick amount of pleasure in elongating the pain. After a bit she began removing the mark pulling more screams from Rarity.

"Alice, she screams so loud. Can't we shut her up?"

"I suppose so, but you should let me do that. You can get some practice on that on people who don't really matter. Just put that one with the other and I'll take care of it." Alice nodded, quickly levitating the scalpel and a needle and thread to the unicorn's neck. "You know, I know several ponies that would pay a premium for this pelt of yours, such a beautiful white pelt even with those blue spots. I think the Dressmaker will do mighty fine work with you."

"How many ally's do you have?"

"There is myself, Sugar, Spice, the Dollmaker, the Dressmaker, the Carpenter, and Blue Bell." Alice explained, carefully pushing the scalpel into the unicorn's neck. "Hopefully you as well."

Sour nodded as she watched her lover make the slit, taking her time before magically stitching it back up. "There, that should be better."

"I hope so. Now what do we do next?"

"I'm glad you asked. Now, there really aren't any true rules for what's next to do, it mostly depends on the person." Alice responded with a nod. "I think we should move onto the horn next. they aren't to hard to deal with, though this one might be. See it's not a spiral horn, it's segmented. They tend to be a lot more phatically resilient. How we do this really depends on if you want to keep the horn or not."

"I'm keeping a patch of her cutie mark so I don't really see the point." Alice shrugged.

"Good. Now were in the Mirror world, that dose have some effect on horns, but not that much. Simply put those born here, have a tendency to have Spiraled segments, not too unlike dragons, and they are naturally quite a bit stronger. But in the end a horn is a horn, and an easy way to truly break them is to back conduct magic."

"Back conduct?"

"Yes, you send magic down the horn, and the body will desperately try and fight back. But it cant, and the inevitable happens." Alice smiled wickedly igniting her horn, and levitating them each a pare of safety goggles. "Should probably have started with these."

"Probably." Sour sing-songed, pulling them on. "So how do you back conduct?"

"Since I have a spiral horn I can do it directly, but that wouldn't be the best idea for you. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out an easy way of doing it, and besides, you are going to want to collect at least some for the others."

"Right."

"I'll teach you how to do that another time. For now let's focus on this one." Alice took a calming breath as she felt her patience dwindling. She was the one dawdling and Sower was just eager to learn. As she was she could feel her magic flickering almost angerly, body stiffening as Sour put a tentative hoof on her shoulders.

"Al?"

"I'm fine, I shouldn't be upset but-" Shaking her head Alice growled. "I know the fear isn't fading, I can tell she's terrified, but..."

Lettings out a frustrated growl stomping a hoof, horn quickly igniting, magenta magic leaping towards Rarity's. Before it even maid contact the white unicorns hon began glowing a pale blue, crackling as her magic was forcefully called upon. As the beam of magenta hit the field of blue a sickening cracking filled the room, Alice quickly overpowering that she had called forward, the sections of Rarity's horn glowing deep purple before; with one final snap, the horn exploded in several tiny shards, slicing open the mostly white mare's face in some places as they rained to the ground. Of course that white was very quickly being streaked with deep crimson of her own blood.

"Alice!" Sour yelped, vision blurring with tears as blood welled on her cheek. She was used to the occasional outburst from the mare, but this was frightening even for her. The crazed, manic smile; the sharp, shark like teeth the crazed look in her eye. "Alice! Enough!"

But Alice didn't stop, her magic glowing in Rarity's eyes, and Sour knew what would happen next if she didn't try and do anything. While she had been having fun, the sudden switch in Alice's persona frightened her.

"Alice please! This isn't fun anymore!"

"Come now Sour I just want to see what will happen."

"No! Alice you need to stop. This isn't right! I- I don't like this part!" Tears burned down Sours Cheeks and she quickly backed away as Alice's magic faded and she quickly pivoted. "I'm sorry."

"No. It's fine. You're not like me Sour, I should have known you wouldn't take any fun in this."

"Your slipping towards gaslighting Al, I just- I don't know. I don't mind like stabbing, but that... That brought out the worst of you and you know it. I don't know what just snapped, but I never want to see that side of you again."

"Is now really the time for this love?"

"The fun's gone Alice. I can learn another time." Sour sniffed, whipping her eyes. "I do appreciate this, and I mean it will be more fun another time. But-"

Alice sighed softly eyes returning to normal as she did.

"Sour. I know you like to pretend you don't hurt when I get like that, But I know you do. I want you to do one thing for me, and one thing only. Take all of that hurt, and take it out on her. Just feel emotions, just carful around the bowl area, we do still want to eat her That part's not to hard, I know you've done some butchering before."

"I don't get you sometimes Al." Sour took a few calming breaths before pulling her girlfreind into a hug. "You need proper therapy Al, real therapy."

"That I really cant get unless I guess maybe if I'm caught." Alice shrugged, turning for the stairs. "But really, take out everything you need to one her"

"I don't need that Alice, I'm not like you. This is one of the many ways. I don't express my emotions through anger and violence. I'm not anti-social you know."

Rolling her eyes Alice picked up a large knife in her magic and flung it towards the bound unicorn. She knew the act would bring back the terror, if it had somehow managed to fade with everything that had happened. But much to her own horror, all she gained was the sickening thud of a knife in wood.

"That's bad."

"Understatement."

"Think she'd be stupid enough to tattle?"

"I mean she managed to escape so, yeah. IU do see her being cocky enough to try and tattle."

"Mmmm... Right you go upstairs and inform the twins I'll locate the others. We might be in for some incarceration."

"Yeah, you know I have a questioning." Sour's concerns were long forgotten as she tapped a hoof to her chin. "Dose what your doing count as , and I quote fucking with the food?"

"Ah, good question. I mean I never lied about what's in them, and no one is hurt save the victims. Nothing bad came of it, and I was clear on what did have she Special ingredient and what didn't so I think were safe." Alice said, quickly beginning to clean up. "Now get going, get the twins. You don't have to be here when everything goes down. In fact, I don't want you to be."

"Alice?"

"I hurt you Sour, and you really haven't done anything yet. I won't have you punished for this, so go, before the bat gets here. Cause we all know he low key is just as much of a walker as I am. Now please, you have a birthday coming up. Go and be happy."

"You're an idiot Alice! I would never be happy with you behind bars without at least-"

"I'm not holding myself back, if you stay your seeing her again. I have been looking forward for my go at dear Batsy for a while, so I suggest you leave before I have the twins actually kidnap you."

Sound stumbled back, tears poking in her eyes once more before she let out a heavy sigh, turning tail and heading out of the room.
