Their scouting mission had gone successfully. Filthy Rich wasn't in the house, and Diamond Tiara was all alone. They had decided, before setting out, that Applebloom would make the kill, since she was the most affected.

It was night. The four killers where climbing into the large mannor through a conveniently open window. It was fairly easy to push the screen out and slide in. They heard music from upstairs, leading them straight to the fillies bedroom.

Applebloom held a knife in her mouth steadily, determined to make this kill without help. This was her fight, after all. But she still felt off, about this whole thing. Jeff walked in front with no fault to his steps, seeming as at ease in doing this as any pony could be. Almost like he'd done it before...She pushed the thought away. Impossible. Jeff hadn't lied to them, he was their friend. And, he'd gotten them their cutie marks! She couldn't be more grateful. And Diamond Tiara needed to pay.

...She just hoped that this was the right way to go about it.

They stopped in front of her door. Three stood back, leaving Applebloom alone in front. She took a breath, steadying herself, and peered in through the keyhole. Diamond Tiara stood with her back turned to the door, dancing to pop music. She stood up and put her front legs on the bed,shaking her body from side to side and swaying her tail. Applebloom saw her chance, and took it.

Like most earth pony households, the doors were push-open. Quietly opening the door with her head, Applebloom charged forward. The pink filly barely had time to turn her head before Appleblooms knife was buried in her side. Applebloom, fueled by rage, had struck to hard that knife stuck in Diamond's hip bone, and she was unable to pull it out. Diamond Tiara screamed, the high-pitched noise prompting more blood to flow from the wound. Scared someone might here, but unable to get her knife, Applebloom acted on instinct.

She turned, picked up her hind-legs, and bucked, as hard as she could. Years of apple bucking prompted strong muscles, easily able to buck apples of a tree. Also easily able to buck heads from their shoulders. She heard a crack, and a broken sob, then more screaming. So she hit again. And again. And again.

She kept hitting, even far after the noise had stopped. The once hard surface shad been hitting was now a gooey, wet mess.

After a minute, she felt a soft muzzle brush against her shoulder, "That's enough, Applebloom." Jeff said, and she brought her feet back down. Her forelegs hurt from how long she had been standing on them. Looking up, Applebloom saw the soft look on Jeff's face. He looked...Proud. Even his manic grin seemed like a soft smile. With a sniff, Applebloom realized that she had been crying. She had been thinking of every mean thing the now-dead filly had ever said to her, hitting her harder with each thought. It had felt freeing.

She buried her face in Jeff's chest. She didn't sob, didn't snot - just cried, a little bit. Then she pulled back and looked over her shoulder, before turning back and smiled up at him. "I really pounded her, didn't I?" He nodded.

"Come on Applebloom, lets get you cleaned up, hmm?" He said, nudging her towards the door. He felt rather motherly and, surprisingly, it didn't make him sick.

Applebloom was happy, as she trotted out of the house with the other girls. They had taken Diamond's ice cream - She wouldn't be needing it anyway - and washed off in her bathroom. They left her where she was, since she'd be too much of a pain to move.

Maybe this murderer thing wasn't so bad.
She was starting to like it, after all.
