Pinkamena Diane Pie wiped away a tear as the weight of the cursed mirror's influence began to set in. Her poofy hair now hung loose against her face as she was overcome by an overwhelming sense of sadness and loss. She knew her friends, whom she had grown to love throughout her journey, were out there somewhere, and she desperately wanted to spend one final moment with them before killing them.

Rainbow Dash roamed the castle hallways alone, a familiar sight to the guards stationed in that area. She nodded confidently to the guards as she passed, unhindered by their silent acknowledgement. Her steps echoed off the cold stone walls of the vast throne room, but sadly, the room was empty, lacking even the presence of Twilight Sparkle. She sighed and turned to continue her search, hoping to find her friend somewhere else in the castle.

Rainbow Dash bellowed, "Twilight! Where the hell are you? Come out, okay? I swear to Celestia, I'll noogie you if you don't show yourself!" Despite her fear, she admired herself for her strength and resolve. She had to find Twilight, no matter what.

Rainbow Dash pressed on with her search, determined to find Twilight, no matter how long it took her. She knew that her friend was in trouble, and she was worried about what was happening to her. Despite the fact that the castle was full of shadows and ominous secrets, Rainbow Dash would not give up. She was brave and loyal, willing to risk her life to save her friend.

As Rainbow Dash continued through the castle, she heard a giggle, followed by a loud crash and a gurgling wet screaming sound, like someone was choking on their blood. Taken aback, Rainbow Dash immediately froze, unsure of what to do. She stared in the direction of the screams, her heart pounding in her chest as a chill ran down her spine. She could feel her adrenaline pumping through her veins, knowing that something was very wrong and she needed to act quickly.

As Fluttershy continued to wander, she stayed close to Rarity's side, too scared to walk alone in the dark. She spoke up, asking Rarity what she thought about the situation.
"I'm sure Twilight will be just fine, Fluttershy." Rarity replied confidently. "She's strong and smart, she'll be able to take care of herself."

As Rarity spoke, Fluttershy tried to calm her own nerves. She nodded, hoping Rarity was right, even though the dark hallways still scared her. She gripped Rarity tighter, thankful to be by her side.

As Fluttershy and Rarity continued walking, they spotted a pink shape in the darkness. Rarity illuminated the surroundings with her horn, helping them get a better view of the scene. As they got closer, they realized it was Pinkie Pie, who was standing turned away from them.

"Pinkie? Dear, is that you?" Rarity called out softly. But Pinkie did not respond, she was standing still and silent. A sense of unease washed over Rarity as she got closer to Pinkie, and before she could react, she felt herself fall to the ground with something loud and heavy. But in her fall, she noticed that her neck was now covered in blood, as she began choking and crying. She managed to yell out a warning to Fluttershy, "Pinkie! She..." But it was cutoff with a loud and heavy gasp. Fluttershy looked at Pinkie in horror as she came to realize that Rarity had been stabbed, her neck gushing bloody from the shard of sharp bone Pinkamena held in her hoof.

Fluttershy was frozen in fear as she watched Pinkie drag Rarity away and out of sight. She let out a breath and sank to her haunches, her body shaking uncontrollably as she was unable to comprehend what she had just witnessed. The smell of vomit filled the air, as Fluttershy vomited up her lunch. She was still in shock, unable to wrap her head around the horrific scene that she had just seen with her own eyes. Rainbow Dash hurried down the hallway and came across the bloody scene. She landed, eyes fixed on the blood-covered ground and the hoof laying on the floor. She felt her stomach churn, but she was determined to continue forward, to find the source of who the hoof belonged to. She called out to Fluttershy, hoping to find her friend alive and well, but Fluttershy was unresponsive and in a state of shock. Rainbow Dash ran to her side, trying to do everything she could to bring Fluttershy out of her dazed state.

Rainbow Dash flew off to get a guard, leaving Fluttershy in the hallway, shaking and crying. As she flew off, she heard Fluttershy yell out a warning, followed by a snapping sound. She flew back to Fluttershy's side faster than before, fearing the worst had happened.
She landed down on her hooves to find a horrifying scene in front of her. Fluttershy was laying on the floor, a look of horror and shock on her face. Around her were several broken pieces of a mirror. Something had happened in her absence, something tcouldn't.

Pinkie came out of the darkness, carrying Rarity's body. Behind her, Twilight Sparkle emerged from the shadows of another hallway, darkness surrounding her as well. Together, they laid Rarity in front of the mirror Pinkie had brought with her, the same cursed mirror they had been warned about earlier.
Pinkie began speaking in a sad, yet joyful tone. "Let's have one final party! I love you guys so so much!" It was as if she wanted to believe in this moment, but something had become off. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were held down by Pinkie and Twilight, unable to move or escape.

The scene before Fluttershy was horrific. Rarity was clinging to life, but she died in front of the mirror, becoming a part of it. The other victims of the mirror, with their glowing orange eyes, surrounded the ponies. Fluttershy watched in horror as Twilight Sparkle twisted Rainbow Dash's body parts, snapping her bones and making it as painful as possible for her. Rainbow Dash shouted at Fluttershy not to look, but Fluttershy was unable to resist. Finally, Rainbow Dash's head was snapped 360 and she had gone limp.

At a crucial moment, the guards came rushing in and were able to subdue both Twilight and Pinkie in time. They were unaware of what to do with Twilight, since she was the princess of Equestria. However, Celestia had ordered that the princesses would be held to the same accountability and law as a normal citizen breaking the law. Fluttershy was rescued by the guards and removed from the scene. After the trauma she had endured, Fluttershy was left deeply scarred from the event. She would need time to heal both physically and mentally.

Fluttershy was left feeling devastated after losing not only her friends, but also a sense of security and trust. She couldn't imagine how she would ever recover from her trauma. Her childhood friend Rainbow Dash had now been taken from her, along with all of the other victims of the mirror. The world around her had suddenly become a dangerous and uncertain place, and she was left wondering how she could rebuild her life after this devastating event.

Author's Note

Look out for the upcoming epilogue, everyone! I'll be sharing it in about 3 days' time. You know what? Writing this story was super fun, so thanks to everyone who joined in to read it. I had this concept sitting in my mind for a while and I didn't know how to execute it perfectly for quite some time. Thank goodness I managed to figure it out after about 4 or 5 years, and I'm so happy that you all loved the story. I too love MLP and I wanted to create something that would cross over with the iconic horror flick, Lasser glass.
