Love hurts

CHAPTER 1
It was a beautiful day in the small village of Ponyville, the birds were chirping and rainbow dash had cleared sky. It was just simply a beautiful day. Fluttershy was attending to her little animal friends, going about her daily life feeding them and bathing them, and most importantly making sure they were healthy. She then had the task of going into Ponyville to the market to get freshly grown lettuce and celery for her little animal friends. It was about eleven o' clock by the time she had left her cottage.
It took Fluttershy a mere ten minutes to get into Ponyville, but she enjoyed the walk. The nice day, the smell flowers and fresh air seemed to clear the yellow Pegasus's mind. As she Trotted, smiling as she went, some ponies wondered why she was so happy that morning. One orange earth pony went up to Fluttershy and started to speak to her.
“Well, hi there Fluttershy! You seem happy today!” He commented.
“Why wouldn’t I be happy, I am in the best mood possible today!” She responded.
The orange stallion smiled and continued on with his travels. Fluttershy then proceeded to the celery stand, calmly handing over ten bits to the stall owner, Before walking off to the other side of the market. She went up to the lettuce stall, and gave another ten bits. She put the vegetables in her satchel, said goodbye and walked away.
Fluttershy then decided to go and meet up with one of her close friends. She reached the library and entered the tree, and saw that twilight was reading as normal. Twilight saw Fluttershy and was rather happy to see her.
“Fluttershy! How are you, on this fine and sunny day”
Fluttershy then proceeded to speak rather quickly and quietly.
“Well, I’m just in the best mood possible today...”
Twilight then looked rather oddly at Fluttershy’s new change of attitude.
“You... seem a little different today, Fluttershy. Is there something wrong?” Twilight asked, as she closed her book.
Fluttershy’s facial expressions then quickly changed. Her giant grin slowly went down.
“Now now, Twilight! I think your being a little protective over me, I have to right to be happy, don’t I?”
twilight then continued, “Well, its just this kind of behaviour is
odd for you, your normally so…..shy and-”
she was then quickly interrupted by Fluttershy, “I’m so sorry Twi, but I have to leave. It is nearly twelve, and Angel will be rather upset if I don’t feed him!”
Twilight then nodded as Fluttershy turned on the spot and proceeded to leave the library, and walk down to road.
CHAPTER 2
A few minutes after walking, the sweet Pegasus sat down on a bench, enjoying the sun a little more. After a few minutes she stretched, and got back on all four hooves. She quickly trotted back to her cottage. She arrived to see Angel, who was stomping his foot on the ground in a angry manner. Fluttershy then glanced at the clock in the living room. It said half past one in the afternoon.
“Oh! I’m so sorry, Angel! I guess I got carried away.” Fluttershy then went into the kitchen, dismissing inpatient bunny, and took out a knife from the drawer.
As she raised it to the counter to cut the celery, the knife slipped from her hoof, and she watched the knife fall slowly, seeing the knife pierce her skin slowly. But the strange thing was that she didn’t scream, and not only that, but she seemed to enjoyed the pain she was going through. She smiled rather sadistically while picking up the knife and cutting herself a second time on the hoof. While watching her blood drain, she thought to herself that this is really good way to release her internal anger towards everything in her life. at that exact moment she thought of Angel, and of all the ways he was mean and selfish.
“ANGEL COME HERE!” Fluttershy called, then hid in a corner, waiting for the small bunny to hop into the kitchen. The small innocent bunny then wandered into the kitchen, according to plan. Like a bolt of lightening, Fluttershy came from her hiding spot, and plunged a knife straight into Angels back, breaking his spine and killing him instantly. The blood drained quickly as the small animal corpse lay there motionless. Fluttershy quickly grabbed a cup and filled it with Angels blood. The cup reached about half way before it stopped.
“Would of thought there would have been more blood, in that large head of yours. Oh well, this will have to do.” She jeered to the dead bunny.

She raised the cup to her mouth and drank the blood down, leaving a mark on her upper lip.
“Angel, you taste so sweet...” She whispered, while licking her lips. She then looked at the blood stained knife, and licked the blade from the base to the tip. She then looked at angels drained body, admiring the entrance and exit wounds.
She then went to the stove, and pulled out a tray. She calmly placed Angel on the tray and put the lifeless corpse in the oven.
“about one hour I think” She thought out loud to herself, still smiling at her work.
She went to sit down and relax for a hour, wondering what he will taste like. When a hour had passed, she got off the sofa and entered the kitchen, to prepare herself for the meal she was about to eat. First she pulled out a plate, put it on the side and placed the cooked Angel onto the plate and sprinkled him with spices and, to finish off, a few pieces of parsley.
“I guess it is time to find out.” she spoke as she sat at the table. She then picked up the cooked animal and took a chunk, chewing slowly as her eyes widened and face lit up. “this is beautiful!” She moaned with a mouth full of flesh. She quickly pushed her snout in and gobbled it up. When she was full, she lifted her head, and saw the carcass and spare meat. She picked it up, and took it outside to throw it away.
As she went outside, and threw the half eaten bunny in the bin, she saw two ponies walking towards her. One of which was Rainbow Dash, the racing Pegasus, and the other was the little pink party pony Pinkie Pie.
“Hey, Fluttershy! ! What are you today, on this awesome clear day I made?” Rainbow spoke with a smile.
“Its lovely, Rainbow… it really is.” Fluttershy then spoke with a rather big smile on her face, “It definitely is one of your best days!”
“Why, thanks Fluttershy, I aim to please!” rainbow said, looking pleased.
“So, Fluttershy what are you doing?” Pinkie asked at a rather brisk pace, making it hard to understand her.
“Well, I just ate dinner, and it was so filling, that I just threw it away.” Fluttershy with a big smile on her face.
“Oh really? What did you have? I had a daisy sandwich” pinkie rushed out while hopping in front of Fluttershy.
“Lets just say, Pinkie, that I tried a new recipe” Fluttershy responded, smiling like crazy.
“Um, okay? Are you feeling yourself today, Fluttershy? You seem a bit off...” Rainbow stated, looking rather worried.
“Why wouldn’t I be Rainbow? You did a amazing job on the sky.” Fluttershy spoke with giant grin.
“Okay? Well, we better be off. We have some... um... business to attend to, at Sugarcube corner…” The cyan Pegasus said, as the two little ponies left the cottage, and head into Ponyville…
Fluttershy then proceeded to walk away from the bin, and went inside the cottage. She spoke to herself, “I wonder why they were looking at me so strangely. It couldn’t be that I ate my precious little angel could it? There’s nothing wrong with eating a pet, right?”
Her voice getting louder and more dark as she spoke, “I think I should get a drink.”
She went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and started slitting her hoof. She held a cup underneath the giant cut, and waited until it was half full. She brought it up to her mouth, a...
Her voice getting louder and more dark as she spoke, “I think I should get a drink.”
She went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and started slitting her hoof. She held a cup underneath the giant cut, and waited until it was half full. She brought it up to her mouth, and slowly chugged it down.
CHAPTER 3
As she finished off her bloody drink, there was a knock on the door. Fluttershy went to answer the door, and a purple unicorn, called Twilight, stood there.
Her eyes opened wide, and she screamed, “OH DEAR CELESTIA W-WHATS THAT ON YOUR UPPER LIP!”
Fluttershy slammed the door in her face, and became very worried about what Twilight could of possibly seen. She then went into the kitchen, and looked in the high hanging mirror.
“Oh, sweet Celestia she saw t-the blood” she spoke quietly to herself as she sat down in the corner of the kitchen for a few hours, rocking backwards and forwards. not even bothering to patch up the wounds she had caused upon her self.
That night, Twilight was thinking of what was on Fluttershy's lip, and was still confused. She decided to go investigate her friends house, as she had been told by rainbow dash that she had seen Fluttershy put a mangled corpse in her bin. So twilight spared no time in getting herself ready. She arrived at her house, and it was pitch black. Before going into the bin she thought she would take a glimpse through the window, to make sure her friend was alright. As she looked through the window, she found Fluttershy, sat down on the kitchen floor, rocking backwards and forwards. Twilight just looked down as the sorrow for her friend weighed heavy in her heart, and soured her face. Twilight's last task was to check the bin. As the purple unicorn opened the bin she was immediately horrified with the sight, of the half eaten angel.
Twilight then spoke to herself, with intense sadness, “Oh Fluttershy, w-why would you do this? What provoked, you to do this?” She then took out a bag, placed the half eaten corpse inside, sealing it up before placing it in her satchel. She then started walking home back to the library.
The sun was just rising, when she finally got up from the kitchen corner, with the floor now soaked in her blood. Fluttershy heard a knock on her door, and she was very scared at who it might be. She sat down in front of the door, hoping it wasn‘t important, and they would go away. For about five minutes, Fluttershy just watched the door, until it flew off its hinges, revealing the sight of the equestrian guards in there uniforms, polished and shiny, and next to them stood twilight.
She was looking rather sad, and quietly whispered, “I’m sorry, Fluttershy, but this is for your own good. Guards, arrest her.”
“Fluttershy, we are arresting you on the charges of animal slaughter, attempt of suicide and being a danger to others.” The guards told her.
Fluttershy then stood up, with her legs trembling. She wanted to run, she really did, but she was petrified, leaving a easy target for the guards as they grabbed her and took her through the busted door and into their chariot. Twilight didn’t say anything to her as she past her, she just glanced at her sadly, wondering what will happen to her friend.
As she watched her being put on the chariot, she whispered. “Oh Fluttershy, why? Why would you do something like this?”
Fluttershy then proceeded to scream at her, “BECAUSE IT FELT RIGHT!” She was looking at her, with a big sadistic smile on her face. She was loaded into the chariot and was flown to the Canterlot hospital for help. The guards watched her carefully the whole time.
CHAPTER 4
.
Later that night, they reached Canterlot, and spared no time traveling to the hospital. Within minutes they arrived, and guards were already waiting at the gates. Fluttershy was then taken inside and placed in the mental ward without hesitation.
“W-what are you doing?” Fluttershy moaned, in a stream of tears coming from her eyes, “I had a phase and I’m over it!” she cried. “I won’t do it again I promise. P-please p-please forgive me I won’t ever do it again p-please…”
“QUEIT IN THERE” one of the guards ordered, while guarding her soft and spongy cell. Fluttershy then looking at her scars and smiling she then raised a hoof and bit into it, “arghhhhhh” it hurt her for a minute but then she felt a sudden rush of adrenaline “ahhhhh that’s better” she spoke to her self watching her blood drain onto the yellow spongy ground. Sucking at her hoof, after a few minutes she passed out, with blood gushing out of her hoof it wasn’t until the guard turned around, as she was being so quiet, to see the yellow pegusi on the ground in a pool of blood, they spared no time in getting the mare to medical attention. When flutter arrived at the main wing of the hospital, she had already lost a lot of blood, and was delirious, “this mare needs medical attention NOW” one of the guards ordered to the nurse “of course we’ll get right on it sir” she said calmly they quickly put her onto the bed strapping her down with rope, so she couldn’t escape, and put tubes in her to replace any lost blood coming from her veins.
CHAPTER 5
After a few days of being strapped down she started chanting the words “I-I’ve had it here please let me go I-Il be a good mare I promise.” the guards and nurses took no notice of her infact they were starting to think about what seemed to be the only solution they could think off.
A few more days past and the attitude just got worse and worse and worse she was cursing everypony’s name out loud “YOU PUT ME HERE YOU….YOU PUT ME HERE….” why? the guards didn’t understand
But then a little mare who put fluttershy in there was saying to her self entered the room and started speaking to fluttershy “fluttershy do you realise why you are here” twilight said tilting her head. “N-NO why am I here” twilight then proceeded to reach into her satchel and pulled out a small, but clear see through bag inside of which, was the small bunny angel, starting to decompose, but still recognisable. “why fluttershy? What drove you to this?” she said looking worried at her friend “because IT FELT RIGHT” screamed with a wide open smile on her face. Twilight then started to stream tears down her cheek knowing her friends fate and left the room.
A few days passed and fluttershy awoke to being in a new place in the hospital, a place which she had not known before. She was strapped to a chair, there was five ponies looking at her fluttershy
“darling why didn’t you tell us you were doing, this we could of helped you, now look at your self” rarity spoke with kind and gentle words, while a small tear ran down her cheek.
“Yeah fluttershy when I saw you last you seemed really strange throwing angel in the bin, why?” rainbow added, tears streaming down her face.
“and why would ya’ll go and do a darn thing like that for I mean why would Ya’ll eat angel anyway” applejack sobbed in a southern accent.
“like yeah fluttershy why are you acting crazy like this” pinkie sputtered with a tear running down both cheeks.
Twilight not saying anything only looking in disgust and anger, at what she had done. Fluttershy then started to struggle trying to break out of her chair “I-its no use fluttershy” as twilight pointed a hoof to the left of fluttershy. She looks to her left and notices a black and yellow mare holding a syringe in her hoof “W-what’s that” fluttershy spoke in a really agonisingly worried tone. “were so sorry sugarcube” said applejack “just think of death as a long cold rest” rainbow said quietly. “your time has come fluttershy I’m so sorry” said pinkie pie. “darling you brought this upon yourself” twilight said nothing, but she did nod to the nurse holding the syringe. The nurse moved in closer to fluttershy’s left hoof she was now shaking ...
“p-please don’t I don’t want to die p-please don’t Il be good I-I promise” the nurse neared and the needle touched her bright yellow flesh and pierced the surface “p-please I-I’m begging you please stop…” as fluttershy took a full grip on the chair. The nurse finally pushed down on the syringe. Releasing the liquid into her blood stream “p-please don’t kill m……………..” fluttershy’s grip on the chair was quickly gone as she sat there peacefully the four mares all started to cry streams of tears twilight in which just left the room. The other four mares just gazed at the lifeless mare as she was taken off the chair and onto a stretcher, being carried through the hospital, being placed in the morgue. And she was not seen from again by another of her four friends.
Two weeks later after the funeral of fluttershy her house was sold to a new young pare of ponies one Max Maximus and the other Velocity Lightning, young couple and in there prime. They bought fluttershy’s cottage and set up home there. Ponyville was quiet and peaceful with fluttershy gone there wasn’t much going on rarity, rainbow, pinkie and applejack still mourned over the death of her friend. Mean while twilight just got on with her daily life. But later that night she found something that belong to fluttershy, a photo of them together smiling holding hooves, twilights lips then started quiver and she collapsed onto the floor, crying. “W-WHY FLUTTERSHY why did you do this” cried Twilight tears streaming down her face she cried deeply into the night hugging the picture “I could have stopped it, I could of told the princess, but I was too selfish I’m so Fluttershy sorry I wish I had stopped it…”
