After a reported incident of two pets dead and one pony wounded, a reporter was sent from Princess Celestia to Ponyville to gain information from all sides. Interviewing friends and witnesses of the incident.

Ponies have reported the murder of two pets and of a wounded pony relating to The Elements of Harmony. Residents of Ponyville have reported sightings of ponies screaming and crying right outside of Princess Twilight Sparkle's home. So Princess Celestia herself sent me to investigate and interview ponies of the crime scene. What really happened? Is the Princess alright?

Fluttershy

“The day right after the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange, me and Applejack visited Twilight since me and her were out walking our pets nearby. Once we opened the door to her library, we were horrified by what we saw. Twilight was bleeding hunched over on the floor, I ran over to immediately to help her but she snapped at me to immediately get off of her and smacked my hoof away. At that point Angel hopped off of my back and pointed to the problem, squeaking for my attention but Twilight used her magic immediately and slammed him against a bookshelf. I screamed for Angel… I don’t know what got into Twilight; he probably annoyed her.

I took Angel in my hooves and galloped behind Applejack for safety. I said to Twilight, 'You monster! Why would you do that?!'

I was sobbing at this point, I couldn’t stand Twilight anymore. I do visit her, yes but just to remind her of all the horrible things she did that day, I will never forgive her. I realized it wasn’t safe enough behind Applejack. I stepped outside to try and treat Angel in a panic. Me and the others couldn’t save him, I’ll never forgive Twilight, I know I'm the element of kindness and all but I'm not forgiveness. My poor Angel Bunny…”

Applejack

“Me and Fluttershy visited Twi with our pets by our hooves. Opened that door and… sweet Celestia, Twi, she was not herself to say the least. Went crazy, her wings were basically gone, feathers everywhere, blood in places where they shouldn’t be. Winona immediately went to sniff stuff out around her. As Fluttershy went too close to Twi, It happened so fast, I just remember her running out in a hurry and a lot of screamin. I vividly remember me yellin at Winona to not go any closer as she growled and snarled at Twi.

She just snapped and flung Winona to the wall. I yelled for Winona, telling her it’ll be ok, for her to hold on. I ran towards Winona’s side and started asking question after question to Twi. Next thing ya know she was walking towards us telling us to leave, then yellin at us to leave, I didn’t budge I was trying to help my dog. I felt a sharp pain on my side and my head felt lighter. Twilight had attacked me so I would leave! She turned into some sort of maniac! Winona was unconscious, still breathin, but whimperin. I stumbled, stepped back, getting up slowly. Takin Winona in my hooves i basically limped towards the door to where Fluttershy was.

Twi was… I don't know what got into her just to put this out there, I only visit her when I have someone to help me fend her off. I don’t feel safe around her anymore… Winona… How could she!”

Pinkie Pie

“No pony came to tell me until a day after it happened. I’m glad they told me don’t get me wrong, I just wished they told me smidge sooner. They told me a day after, it felt like they found me as fillyish, not telling me until I'm not able to do anything about it. As if I'd make the situation worse. I love my friends, I really do but this makes me feel a yucky way about them. I visited Twilight right after they said where she was being kept, Tartarus.

Poor Twilight, wish I could hug her, comfort her from that cage she’s trapped in. She told me her entire side of the story, I don’t know why no pony will understand. I don’t have much to say, I’m sorry I wish they told me more. I have seen Twilight, she’s doing her best, still plucking her wings out sadly because of all the loneliness and just anxiety of it all. That news may sound good or bad for some ponies.

I try to visit her often but everypony tells me not to, so I only visit her on holidays and celebrations. She really dislikes everypony by now, wish this tragedy would stop. I want things to go back to normal, please… I want my Twilight, I want my friends back.

Spike? He sleeps over sometimes, pretty positive he’s living with AJ now. I know if I were him I’d never have the strength to go near Twilight's family again.”

Spike

“The morning right after the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange Twilight acted… strange, almost deranged in a way. She hid herself in her study room and I went to check on her after a while but then told me to go read a book. I asked if she was ok and if she needed anything. She just told me to go away, so I did.

Sooner or later she came back into the main library and just snapped and told me to leave saying, ‘I don’t want you to see me like this,’ in an extremely sad sounding voice.

As she continued to tell me to pack and leave she said, ‘I am in no state to take care of you, Spike. Please, it's for the best. Send a letter to Shining Armor, I know you’ll be safer with him and Cadence in their Castle’.

Continuing it wouldn't be good for me to stay with her. I kept asking why, she turned to me yelling, ‘Look at me Spike! I’m not in a good condition to do anything!’ She lifted her wings, I was surprised I never noticed it before.

I started sobbing uncontrollably trying to comfort and hug Twi, she wouldn’t let me get any closer. She shooed me away, I packed and walked out the door. I didn’t want to go to Shining Armor's because he'd remind me too much of her. He’s her brother for pete's sake, and reminds me too much of her. Now I mainly live with AJ. I sleep over with my pony friends every now and then. I feel safer with them, now that Twi is in Tartarus. We can visit her but I feel like if I do, I'll be a sopping mess when I see her. I’m sorry Twi, I want you back, I really do. I just don’t have the strength to see you… I don’t think I ever will.”

Author's Note

Sorry everyone for all of these short chapters. This is my first ever time writing a fanfiction and I wanted to have fun with it. I wanted it to be a short and sweet little horror story. There is still more to too come, please tell me what you guys would like to see next!! /)

Rainbow Dash

“I was minding my own business resting on the clouds after a flying sesh and I heard sobbing and words repeatedly yelling, 'Angel stay with me! Don’t do this please, Angel!'

I went to check it out, Fluttershy was sobbing hysterically, Angel Bunny was extremely hurt, makes me shiver just thinking about it. I swooped down to FLuttershy and asked what happened, she was barely able to speak.

All I could make out was, “Find somepony, anypony! Help, Angel Bunny!” as she continued to cry and cradle Angel in her hooves, telling him everything was going to be ok.

I didn’t know who to find so I thought of Rarity, she has fabrics that can act as bandages. I raced as fast as I could to Rarities at that moment and boy, I’m not going to lie, I was crying by the time I got there. I gotta say, it wasn’t pretty. I want my Twi back, our Twi back. She doesn’t need to be a princess, just Twilight Sparkle. I don’t visit her, only when AJ does, feels safer with somepony around and not just you and a crazy pony behind a cage.``

Rarity

“I was organizing all my gems when Rainbow Dash came in, basically slamming my door down. She was crying, yelling that, 'At Twilight’s, Fluttershy needs help now! Angel Bunny, hurt! Bandages, fabrics, anything!' She was extremely out of breath, poor thing looked traumatized.

I rushed to get any fabrics that I could sacrifice to use as bandages and ran with Rainbow Dash to Twilight’s. Poor Angel… it was horrific to say the least. Sorry… ahem, I tried my best to bandage him as Fluttershy was instructing me too. Right as I was bandaging him Applejack whipped out of Twilight’s door heavily breathing, clearly frightened. They were all sobbing. Both Winona and Angel Bunny were extremely hurt, all my fabrics did was soak up some blood sadly.

If Rainbow Dash had never gotten me I would have never been able to comfort them during that time, they would have been more shooken up then they are now. I could never forgive Twilight for what she has done to my friends, I don’t visit her, I never want to see her face again. Poor Fluttershy, she hasn’t been the same since then. Applejack neither, they both give everypony the cold shoulder. I do hope they’re doing alright right now.”

"Princess" Twilight Sparkle

“I never ment to hurt anypony, or any pet! I… I didn’t know it would get this bad. I just didn’t want all this stress on me. Princess this, princess that, ugh! Always trying to keep a smile on my face when all I want is to be treated like a normal pony. I never wanted to be a princess in the first place! Princess Celestia should have asked before anything! Is she crazy?! I know I'm the element of magic but this is not what I expected, did you?!

I never wanted this, all my books and me only have value since I got wings. Well not anymore! I want to be myself, I didn’t want a label that made ponies notice me as ‘Princess’ Twilight Sparkle. I want to have value as a pony, not as a pricy princess, I want my friends back, I want my life back. But no, I just had to become something I was scared of, high authority.

I realized I wanted to have my own value so I got rid of the thing that made ponies like me, they liked me because of my title, not because of the pony I am. Wish my friends understood that, poor Pinkie is probably taking it the worst. I’m very grateful she visits me though.

Everypony else could care less. Spike, ugh! I’m so stupid for that, I’m so sorry Spike… wish i took better care of you. I don’t know who he turned to after I sent him off, maybe Shining Armour’s to live with Cadence, or my parents. Probably the only family he’ll care about now.”
