The Autumn Ritual
The Autumn Ritual
When the time of fall arrives in Equestria most ponies look forward to the annual running of the leaves. This is a happy ritual of autumn, but sadly it isn't the only Ritual that takes place this time of year. Behind hidden doors that would've best been left closed, dark hellish secrets and games are taking place. Unfortunately for the mane six, they are about to dive in head first to this hidden ritual of the fall. The acts that they witness will forever change how they see night and day again.
They are all about to witness: The Autumn Ritual
"Come on girls!" yelled Rainbow Dash, "The building is just around this corner!"; Earlier in the week Rainbow Dash had mentioned that this October she and her friends wanted to do something scary, Why do the same old same old? It was time to spice things up. The earth pony named Rose Luck had overheard her say this and gently poked her on the shoulder.
"Excuse me Rainbow Dash, did you just say that you wanted to do something scary this October?" Rainbow Dash turned surprised at what Rose luck had just asked, "Yeah I am, what about it?"
Rose Luck looked around to make sure no pony else was listening, "Well…Every night on the date of October thirty first I hear bloodcurdling ghostly screams coming from an old abandoned building behind my rose stall…no pony has ever been brave enough to go in there and most just laugh at me or say I'm hallucinating…they think I'm crazy, but I'm not! I actually hear it!"
Rainbow Dash smiled deviously, "So you say that place is haunted huh? Awesome! It will be perfect! Tomorrow is the thirty first right?" Rose Luck nodded, "Wait, are you going in there alone?! Are you crazy?"
Rainbow laughed, "What? You don't think I'm brave enough? But don't worry your pretty little face, my friends are going to come with me of course, I promised them a scary surprise…so this is perfect!
Rose Luck stepped back behind her stall, "Well I wish you girl's good luck, and be careful please! I don't want to hear that any of you got hurt, alright?"
Rainbow had started walking off, but turned as she was walking away to respond, "Yeah, yeah we'll be fine. C'ya around Rose. Rose Luck sighed, "Good bye Rainbow." While the rainbow pegasi walked away Rose Luck started rummaging through her rose stall, she was looking for some specific flowers. She started humming as she rummaged through some drawers; "Aha!" she found what she was looking for. She pulled out six beautiful dark red roses and set them aside.
--------------------------------The Next Day----------------------------------------------
It was a cool dark evening, the sun had just faded away and the evening was slowly beginning to creep in."Here's the place!" shouted Rainbow Dash as she and her five friends approached the old abandoned building near Rose Lucks stall. The group all paused to admire the sheer size of the place, it was a huge building.
Twilight Sparkle stepped forward with a few questions, "How are we getting in Rainbow? Is this building even structurally secure?" Twilight wouldn't ordinarily go on a "ghost hunting adventure" but she wanted to prove to the others that there are no such things as ghosts. Everything could be proven with science, and ghosts aren't scientifically possible.
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at Twilight, "I'm sure we'll be fine Twilight… and I bet the front door is open." She put her hoof on the door and pushed, it didn't budge.
Fluttershy livened up when she saw that the door didn't move, "Oh look…it's closed, I think that means we can't go in and that um... we should all head home now. We don't want to get into any trouble." Applejack stomped her hoof on the ground. "Well shucks Rainbow, just give that door one good buck and it should open up right quick.
Rainbow smiled while she reared back and sharply kicked the door with force enough to send it flying open. "Nice kick Rainbow!" shouted Pinkie Pie. "Well that was a rather barbaric way to enter… but it should suffice." scoffed Rarity. Rainbow laughed, "Ha ha, that was noth-!"
A bloodcurdling scream belted out and echoed from somewhere deep inside the building cutting Rainbows sentence short and causing every member in the group to jump. Everypony stood there staring into the unknown darkness of the building. Twilight shook her head to regain composure, "Come on girls, I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation as to why we heard that. It's probably just some pony a playing a joke on us."
Twilight was partially right; There was a perfectly good explanation for it, but it wasn't a joke being played. It was something much much more sinister.
-------------------------- Meanwhile... ------------------------------------------
Princess Luna was happily spinning around and dancing, she waited all year for this day. She abruptly stopped her dance in front of a mare who was tied to a moveable wooden pillar. The mare looked slightly beaten; she had a ball gag stuffed in her mouth so that no pony could hear her screams. "Hehehe, we want you to watch before you die…" Luna picked up a scalpel in her hoof and brought it close to the mare's neck.
Princess Celestia laughed from behind her sister as she slowly ran her hoof down the princess of the nights back. She then stared at the mare with a chaotic look in her eye. "As you are about to see dear, the relationship between night and day is stronger than anything else, stronger than most ponies know…" When Princess Celestia had finished her sentence she brought her face closer to her sisters and the two deeply gazed into one another's eyes, their faces got closer and closer until finally they met sharing a warm kiss between one another.
The mare tied to the pillar closed her eyes; she didn't want to witness such a taboo happening right before her. When the mare did decide to open her eyes again the sisters had finished their kiss and were both smiling at one another. Their gaze shifted over to her. Celestia giggled to her sister, "Should we let the true fun begin now sister?" Luna smiled hysterically as she raised the scalpel and began to slowly walk towards the helpless mare. "I thought you were never going to ask sister…"
The mare saw the sisters walking towards her and began to struggle against her ropes in an attempt to free herself, it didn't work. Luna was now standing directly in front of her, she put a hoof under the mares chin and raised her head so that she was staring directly at her. She lined up the razor sharp scalpel with the mares jugular vein, Celestia was about to remove the mare's ball gag when she heard a loud crash from a room above them. She smiled with delight, "Oooo it looks like our guests have arrived, but before we play with them let's have our fun with this one first." Celestia removed the ball gag from the mares mouth, when she did the mare let out an ear shattering scream.
"I love it when they scream big sister!" laughed Luna as she gouged the sharp scalpel into the mare's neck multiple times,viciously diving the sharp cold steel in and out of her at a rapid speed. She then brought the sharp blade down both of her arms and once across her entire neck to finish her off. Celestia kicked the bottom of the pillar and it moved forward, leaving the mare to hang in a suspended position. Fresh warm blood from all the cuts and wounds on the mare splashed and spatted forward onto the princesses. They both moaned as the warm wet blood hit their royal mains and coats, It felt like heaven itself was raining down upon them. They both hadn't felt so charged and alive in such a long time.
Luna dropped the bloody scalpel and turned to Celestia, the two bloodthirsty sisters both felt exhilarated from their fresh kill. They began to kiss again, except this time much more intensely. Princess Luna fell backwards onto her back; her sister fell forward and was now lying on top of her. The blood from the mare was still trickling down on them; it only increased the ravenous lust between them.
The mare tied to the pillar tried to scream for help one last time…it didn't work, the only noise that was made was as a slight bubbling, and as she struggled blood flew forth from her mouth like water. She was gone, murdered by the very alicorns that watched over Equestria.
Luna laughed and moaned loudly as her big sister kissed her neck and pressed her body weight down upon her, the pleasure she was feeling was almost equal to the aspect of bliss itself. Her sister stuck her tongue out and lightly licked just behind Luna's ear and then slowly drug her tongue down from the back of her sisters ear to her neck. The room felt like it was getting hotter and hotter from their forbidden burning lust. Luna felt like she was going to explode with pleasure.
Celestia progressively worked her way up Luna's neck until she again found herself buried within her sister's lips. The sisters were lost in moment, nothing would be able to stop their insatiable lust for on another. The warmth and wetness from their kiss mixed with the warm blood dripping down caused them both to moan loudly and shudder with pleasure. The two sisters could've carried on like this for hours…but they could hear hoof steps from above.
The bloodstained sisters both stopped in their "Fun" and looked up at the ceiling where the noise was coming from. "I suppose we should deal with our guests of honor…Luna, we can have fun with them as well… seal the exists and meet me upstairs in a little while."
Luna stood up and licked some of the blood off one of her hooves, "Yes dearest sister." The princess of the night then casually walked over to a control panel in the corner of the room; It was full of buttons, switches, and magical surveillance crystals. She began pulling levers and mashing buttons. Celestia began her walk down a dark long winding hallway.
By now the mane six had made their way into the building and were now slowly beginning to investigate, they walked for a short time and eventually met a hallway that separated into three different paths. Twilight stepped ahead of the group and was now standing in front of the three dark paths. "Alright girls we can cover more ground if we split up. Fluttershy, Rarity, you take the first path. Applejack, you and Pinkie take the middle path. That leaves me and Rainbow; we'll take the last path." Everypony in the group nodded and began the walk towards the respective path given to them by Twilight.
While Twilight and Rainbow headed down their paths Twilight sighed, "Rainbow… you don't really think there is a ghost here do you? I mean come on." Rainbow Dash almost started talking but then stopped and chose her words carefully, "Well… I don't know. But if there is I want to see it! Wouldn't that be awesome?"
Applejack and Pinkie Pie headed down their path now too, Pinkie was happily skipping along like she usually did and A.J walked beside her. Pinkie pie giggled, "Haha A.J don't you just love getting scared? I mean yeah it's not fun all the time but every now and then it's like the greatest thing ever!" Applejack smiled, "Well… uh I don't care for it much myself… instead of searching around an old abandoned building we could be doing somethin more productive, ya'know?"
Fluttershy and Rarity also both timidly pressed on down their hallway. Fluttershy was obviously terrified of the building; she was walking with her head down and only speaking when spoken too. Rarity noticed this and stopped moving, pausing in front of Fluttershy. "Fluttershy dear… I can tell you don't want to be here, well quite frankly neither do I! This place is filthy!" Fluttershy looked up "Oh um…yeah I… I didn't want come here but… I didn't want to disappoint you all by saying no, so I tagged along anyway." Just as Fluttershy had finished talking a distant noise of wood creaking echoed down the hallway scaring her and causing her to cower at Rarity's hooves.
Rarity took pity on her friend and tried to comfort her, "Oh Fluttershy, you don't have to be scared. This is an old building; it's bound to creak every now and then." Fluttershy looked up smiling at Rarity but the comforting happiness was shortly lived as her face almost seemed to turn white from horror. Rarity stared at her confused, "Fluttershy? What's wrong dear you look like you've seen a ghost are you…?" Rarity noticed that Fluttershy's eyes were fixated behind her and slowly turned around. There she could see a large black figure standing there; she couldn't quite make out details on it though.
The figure quickly shifted towards Rarity, she didn't even have time to react to it. Right before Fluttershy's eyes she saw Rarity get impaled with some sort of sharp elongated object and get lifted into the air. Rarity was shocked and overwhelmed with intense pain at what had just happened to her, the only thing she could do was look back at Fluttershy and scream "Fluttershy! RUN!"
Fluttershy screamed at the top of her lungs and ran as fast as her legs could her take back towards the hallway, she looked back once to see what was happening…What she saw only caused her to cry and scream further. The figure had slammed Rarity onto the floor and began to drag her in the opposite direction. Fluttershy's heart was beating at a million miles a second as she ran screaming and crying, desperate for her friends to come and help Rarity.
Applejack, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Twilight all heard the shrieks of terror coming from Fluttershy, they all turned and began to run back in the direction they came from. Rainbow Dash flew with unparallel speed back to the room that exited into the three separate paths, there she found Fluttershy cowering on the floor shaking furiously and crying. Rainbow landed next to her and hugged the cowering mare, "Fluttershy! What's wrong?! Are you ok?! Where's Rarity?"
While Rainbow Dash was bombarding Fluttershy with questions the others had all made their way back to the room, they all immediately surrounded their crying friend. All Fluttershy could do was point down the hallway that she originally had went down. She was in no condition to move; all she could do was sit and cry.
Twilight took charge in the situation, "Alright girls…Rarity is missing and Fluttershy is almost hysterical here. We have to find Rarity but we can't leave Fluttershy here alone, Applejack and Pinkie will you stay here with her please while Me and Rainbow go on ahead and look for Rarity?" Applejack and Pinkie both nodded. "Alright Rainbow, let's go."
Twilight and Rainbow slowly walked down the hallway that Fluttershy and rarity had left down earlier. Rainbow cleared her throat and began to speak, "Twilight…what do you think scared Fluttershy so badly? I mean yeah she scares easy…but I don't think I've ever seen her that scared before."
As the two were walking Twilight studied the ground for clues, she was using her magic like a flashlight on the dark ground. "She was crying awfully hard, but you never really know with her…it could've just been a shadow for all we know. She probably got spooked and ran in a random direction that would explain why Rarity wasn't with her they must've gotten separated …Wait a second…what's this?"
On the ground in front of Rainbow and Twilight was a still wet splatter of blood, the blood was mainly focused in the middle of the floor, but there was some on the wall and even a little on the ceiling as well. The two looked forward to see that it looked like something was dragged through the blood, leaving a pale red trail leading down further into the hallway.
Twilight was staring at the blood in disbelief, she shook her head to try and get control of herself, "Uh-oh… It looks like Rarity got injured! We need to find her and make sure she's ok!" Rainbow Dash looked around "Uh…Twilight, what if something…ya'know…attacked her? We don't want to run into it whatever it was...alone."
Twilight paused for a moment, "Rainbow…I'm sure nothing attacked her, maybe she just slipped and cut her hoof or something, come one we have to keep looking." Twilight didn't want to show it, but she was terrified of what happened to Rarity. There was no way that much blood could've gotten everywhere from an accident.
"Hey Twilight look!" yelled Rainbow, She was standing in front of an open hatch in the floor, the trail of blood seemed to end there. The bar on the latch had blood on it too, so whatever the source of the bleeding was, it had opened it. Twilight and Rainbow got closer to reveal that there was a ladder leading to what had to be the basement of the building. They looked at each other with a slight tremor of fear.
"I'll go first Twilight, you follow after me alright?" Twilight nodded as Rainbow Dash started to climb down the latter into the darkness. She waited patiently for about ten seconds then she grabbed the ladder and started to climb down. She had just taken her first step down on the ladder when she heard a loud shifting noise followed by three simultaneous screams from the direction she had left her friends. She raced back off the ladder and started to run in their direction. While she was running it seemed as if it was getting darker and darker so she used her magic to make like a light again. Suddenly Twilight was stopped at a dead end.
"What? NO! I know I just came from this way, there was no other direction to go! How..." Twilight had to pause and ponder what was happening. Was there actually another path to go down? Or was that noise somehow responsible for what just happened? Twilight snapped out of her thoughts immediately as she heard a scream from behind her. "Oh no! Rainbow Dash hold on I'm coming!"
Twilight started to run back towards Rainbow as fast as she could, but as soon as she reached the latch in the floor it slammed closed. She grabbed the bar and tried to open it but it was sealed closed. Twilight was getting extremely scared now, "Rainbow! What's wrong? Can you hear me?!"
Twilight was shivering as she backed up against the nearest wall and collapsed to the ground. "What's going on here… is something actually attacking us?" Twilight looked around in the dark room; she could barely see her own hoof in front of her face and it was far too taxing to keep the room lit with magic. She was about to start hyperventilating now. She was also on the verge of tears, she covered her eyes with her hooves as she said out loud in a whimpering voice, "Princess Celestia…please, save me from this awful place... please...."
Twilight was beginning to lose her grip on reality, but what was about to happen snapped her right out of it. In front of her an explosion as bright as daylight materialized, and out from it stepped princess Celestia. Twilight couldn't believe it, she shook her head and rubbed her eyes…where her cries somehow actually heard by the princess?
Twilight slowly uncovered her face from her shivering hooves to stare in wonderment at the princess of the day standing in front of her; she lunged forward hugging her hoof. "Princess! I'm so glad to see you! I, I need your help! My friends, I think they're hurt!" Princess Celestia said nothing; she only stared forward as if she didn't even hear Twilight. "Princess? Are you alright?...and how did you even find me; I mean it's kind of ran-" Princess Celestia began to speak cutting Twilight off.
"Rarity… She was the easiest one…then we got three for one…Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy…Then Rainbow Dash basically handed herself over to us… and now... now i'm here to collect you, Twilight Sparkle…my most faithful student…" Princess Celestia slowly looked down at Twilight with a hellish smirk on her face. "You wanted me to help you, Right Twilight?!" The princess got close to Twilights face, causing her to disengage her grip on the princesses front hoof and move up against the wall.
Twilight was at loss for words, what was happening? The alicorn in front of her looked exactly like princess Celestia…but she didn't act like her at all...and her mane and coat looked like they were covered in blood. Twilight didn't know what to do, there was nowhere to run… no pony to hear her cries for help…She was helpless. She sat there as she watched Celestia's horn glow with magic, as it started to glow the princess began to speak. "Twilight…you look like you've seen a ghost, here let me calm you down…" Twilight felt a quick prick in the side of her neck, she turned to see an empty syringe being pulled away with Celestia's magic.
The effects of whatever was in that syringe hit Twilight almost instantly, her vision started to get blurry and the room she was in started to sway from side to side. She could barely keep her eyes open; it wasn't long before she fell on her side. With her narrowing eyes the last thing she saw was the princess walking towards her with the same hellish grin on her face.
------------------------ A few hours later ----------------------------------------
Twilight slowly opened her eyes, her head was pounding and her mouth was extremely dry. She had no idea where she was, she tried to move but couldn't, she looked down to see that her legs were securely tied to the chair, the same with her arms. She tried to use her magic to release herself…but nothing happened. "Wait…why isn't my magic working?" she said in a dry whisper. When spoke she heard fast commotion behind her, suddenly her chair was quickly spun around, in front of her was a smiling and energetic Princess Luna covered in dried blood. Luna almost exploded with excitement when she saw Twilight was awake, "Sister! Sister! She's awake, we can start now!" Twilight heard Celestia's voice call from behind Luna, "Alright then, pull her up here so she can see…"
Princess Luna went behind Twilight and pushed the chair towards Celestia, who was standing in front of a giant white curtain. "Ah Twilight, you have always been the smartest pony I've known…let's see if you can piece together what's going on here… Oh! And don't try and use your magic, that sedative I gave you earlier nullifies all magical abilities. Now sit and enjoy…" Princess Celestia smiled savagely as she tore down the curtain revealing a table, on that table was the body of Rarity, dead and mutilated. Her body had various tubes running into her veins that seemed to go down into the floor. Twilight stared in horror at her friend's motionless dead body. She then looked at Celestia and Luna, now that she could see them in better light; she saw that they were both covered in massive amounts of blood.
Twilight tried to speak, but no words came out. Her heart started to beat fast as she struggled to get free from the chair. Luna laughed, "Hehehe they always try to struggle when it's not going to get them anywhere! Haha…seeing it always gets me so…excited sister…" Celestia walked towards her sister and they met for another long wet kiss, directly in front of Twilight. Twilight saw this and closed her eyes in disbelief of what was happening. Celestia stomped the ground in front of her causing Twilight to open her eyes to see what is going on. She was standing there with a look of disappointment on her face. "Your friend Rarity here was almost a complete waste you know, she had almost bled out by the time we got her here, not very generous at all if you ask me. But she's old news Twilight… I'm sure you're wondering where your friends are right? Well here they are. Luna!"
Princess Luna nodded and walked over to four more curtains, pulling them all down to reveal each one of Twilights friends tied to a chair. Their mouths were bound so that they couldn't scream. Twilight's heart rate picked up again and she tried to talk. "p..pl..please let th…them go." Celestia looked at Twilight puzzled "…oh yes! That sedative makes it pretty difficult to talk, it makes you awful dry doesn't it? Well I will have the solution to your problem in time…"
Celestia looked back at Luna and laughed, "Alright Luna, let's be 'Honest' with each other, we both know who we want to start with. Bring her forward…" Luna smiled and stepped behind Applejack moving her chair forward; she sat her in front of Celestia and kicked the bottom of the chair, bending the bending it and turning it into an operating styled table.
Luna was jumping with joy, "Sister! Can I have fun with this one? Pleeeaassseeee?" Celestia laughed, "Of course you can Luna, but be creative please." Luna jumped high into the air and squealed with joy, she reached to the floor and picked up two ropes. Luna looked at Applejack and smiled "Let's have fun, just like this is a rodeo Applejack!" Applejacks green eyes stared at Luna with horror as she tied one set of rope around her arms the other around her legs, she tied the other ends of the rope to two parallel facing wooden gears.
Luna's horn lit up and the wooden gears with the rope attached to them started to turn, they turned easily for one of two revolutions but then they got stuck as they started to fight the object that was stopping them; Applejacks body. The ropes holding Applejack to the table had burst as she started to get suspended in the air from the 2 opposing forces pulling her body. Luna giggled "Let's give it another turn of the wheel shall we?" she turned the gears again and the room echoed with the sound of a cracking noise. Applejacks eyes were tearing up and showing signs of extreme pain. Luna reached down under the table, "Oh no Applejack! Here let me cut you lose!" Luna pulled up a rusty looking axe, raised it into the air and brought it down just on the bottom of Applejacks midsection. In one quick motion Applejack was severed, sending two halves of her flying in opposite directions; blood and entrails exploded throughout the room. Twilight and all of her friends were now covered in Applejacks blood; they couldn't do anything but watch in horror as the sisters had their fun.
Celestia clapped her hooves together "Luna that was amazing! I'm so proud of you!" Luna blushed as she riffled through the blood and organs on the floor,she found a length of intestines and picked them up. She took a few more steps and removed the hat off the dead Applejacks head and put it on her own, she then started to twirl the length of intestine around like it was a rodeo rope. She laughed, "Haha look at me sister! I'm a cowgirl!" Celestia smiled, "Okay Luna, Applejack had our attention. Now let's entertain the rest of our guests. Luna dropped the intestines and removed the hat. "Alright...well…parties are fun right sister? They are usually full of 'Laughter' ." Pinkie Pies eyes widened, she knew she was next.
Celestia nodded and motioned for Luna to bring Pinkie up next. Luna ran behind her chair and brought her forward; moving the chair Applejack was on as she did. Celestia was standing in front of Pinkie rubbing her chin as she thought. Pinkie closed her eyes and started to cry, the sobbing could barely be heard through the rag tied around her head blocking her mouth. Celestia looked at Pinkie in disapproval. "Don't be such a party pooper Pinkie… it would really burst my bubble if you did this at my party…There's an idea!" Celestia reached to her left and grabbed a hose with a fine nozzle on it, she put her hoof towards the tip and air shot out of it at high speeds. "Luna, open her mouth for me…" Luna grabbed Pinkies head and tilted it back. She removed the rag surrounding her mouth and as soon she did Pinkie let out a giant scream. "Celestia sighed, "Oh shut up you!" She jammed the house into her throat causing her to gag, Celestia forced it down her wind pipe and then her horn started to glow with magic. Pinkies eyes got big and she started to struggle, the hose started to come to life as air was being channeled through it and into Pinkies lungs. The mares chest cavity started to swell with the air being forced into her. "Turn it on full blast sister!" yelled Luna. Celestia did just that and within a few seconds pink mares chest exploded in a pressurized haze of blood that covered Twilight. Luna then released Pinkie Pie, she fell to the floor and rolled on her back, the gaping hole in her chest bubbled every time she tried to breathe. It wasn't long before the bubbling ceased and the mares eyes closed for the last time.
All of the torture and death happening in front of Twilight was making her sick and emotionally drained, she couldn't cry for some reason though, it felt like her lungs weighed fifty pounds each. All she could do was watch in horror with thick tears running down her face. Fluttershy was also crying as she watched the events unfold, she was shaking viciously and had her eyes closed most of the time. Rainbow dash was thrashing around viscously in her chair; she was trying to break free with all her might.
Princess Luna stared at Rainbow and then turned her gaze to Celestia. "Sister, she looks a bit antsy… I think she wants to be next." Princess Celestia nodded, "I think you're right Luna, bring her over here…" Princess Luna dragged Rainbow Dash up to Celestia; she then reached under the chair and pulled out a wooden block. "Sister! Can I practice on this one?" Celestia laughed, "Of course, I know you've been wanting too." Princess Luna laughed and jumped up and down in excitement; she then walked away for a moment and returned with a large wooden mallet and a small knife. "Sister I'm going to cut her up a bit first…the red blood will look beautiful on her blue coat!" Celestia smiled and motioned for her sister to begin with her fun.
Luna started at Rainbow Dashes left leg, she pulled her arm back and readied the knife to stab deep into her leg. Just as Luna was about to lunge with the stab Rainbow kicked at her chair causing the princess to flinch at the last second. When she flinched it caused her to change the trajectory of her attack, she ended up accidently cutting herself in the other arm. "OWWWW! Sister!" cried Luna. Celestia rushed to her injured sisters side to see what was wrong. Across Luna's left arm was a cut about two inches long, it wasn't deep, but it was bleeding. Celestia kissed the wound and hugged her little sister. "Don't worry Luna, that cut will heal quickly, now you better leave this one to me…I'll take care of her." Celestia stood up and walked in front of Rainbow Dash with her chest puffed out and head held high, she wanted to look as powerful as she could. The Rainbow mare just sat there breathing hard, she stared hard at the princess. Celestia got close to her face, "So you think you can just hurt my sister do you? Well you were going to be finished rather quickly, now I'm going to make this very painful…" Celestia's horn flashed once and a bolt of electrical magic hit Rainbow in the chest causing her body's nerves and muscles to overload and shake without her control, it exhausted her instantly. "There, now that you're all calmed down, we can begin." Celestia grabbed the axe that had previously ended Applejack and picked it up with her magic, slowly levitating it around Rainbow Dash "I'm going to stay 'Loyal' to my sister and take care of you now."
"Hmmm, what wouldn't you want to get cut off the most? Oh! Of course…your wings!" The axe reared back and in 2 fast cleaves severed the wings from the mares back, the axe hit with such force that the chair broke, freeing Rainbow Dash and causing her to crash onto the ground with blood spurting out of her back. Celestia stepped over her body, "Looks like I just grounded the fastest flyer in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash could hardly move from the pain and the shock, but she somehow managed to raise her hooves and remove the rag from her mouth, she gasped for air and then stared at Celestia as she started to speak. "You two… your monsters! Why would you do this to us? What did we do to deserve this?!"
Celestia burst into laughter, "You see Rainbow, I could explain this to you…but your simple mind wouldn't be able to understand this whole process…and I don't much like the tone of voice you spoke to me in...Luna! Get the mallet!" Celestia's horn started glowing again, lifting Rainbow Dash into the air slightly and then forced her to open her mouth. She lined Rainbow Dashes open mouth up perfect with the corner of a wooden block that was on the floor near them. "Luna now!" Princess Luna jumped over her sister with the mallet held high into the air, she brought the mallet down on the back of Rainbow's head smashing her open mouth into the corner of the wood and causing her skull to be crushed and her jaw to explode. She hit with such force to make the wooden block rip clean through her head and cause the wounds from her severed wings to spurt blood in all directions.
Twilight flinched at the site of Rainbows decimated bleeding body, she shuddered. Twilight knew that now there were only two left…Fluttershy…and herself. Twilights gaze shifted over to Fluttershy, she was still crying and cowering in her chair. Twilight's line of sight was quickly obstructed by the face of a smiling princess Celestia. "Twilight… there is only the two of you left…by now you must be wandering wants going on here? All is going to be explained I assure you, but first we have to deal with Fluttershy." Celestia looked back at Luna and said, "Cut her rope and remove the rag from her mouth!" Luna walked over to Fluttershy and did as she was instructed. Fluttershy slowly fell from the chair fully being able to cry now; her sobs were now able to echo throughout the room. Princess Celestia rolled her eyes, "Fluttershy, you're free to leave." Fluttershy didn't even hear this; all she could do was curl up and cry. Celestia walked behind Twilights chair and next thing Twilight knew she was on the floor, Did Celestia just release her?
Luna threw Fluttershy a few feet in front of Twilight, She was still sobbing, but she did notice that Twilight was right in front of her. She was balling as she slowly extended her reach towards Twilight, she was inches from touching her hoof when *THWACK*
Fluttershys arm fell to the floor motionless in front of Twilight, a smiling princess Luna pulled an axe out from the ground between Fluttershys body and now severed head. Princess Luna laughed "Oh sister! What 'Kindness' you've shown by allowing her to leave! Too bad she didn't cease the opportunity." Twilight closed her eyes to block out the savage act that was just committed in front of her but had to quickly open them again when she felt Celestia's magic surround her, she felt her hair gently get ran through. Celestia slowly started to walk over to her, she got close to her face, almost touching.Then she kissed her. She kissed her for a long time, a long wet...warm...sentual kiss…the princess worked her tongue in every inch of Twilights mouth. As soon as she finished she slowly puled away to reveal a string of saliva still connecting them. Twilight spit on the floor and coughed, she looked up blushing and then screamed at the princess. "Who are you! And why are you doing this!? There is no way you are the real princess!"
The princess laughed, "Oh my most faithful student… I can explain to you what's going on her, now… follow me…" Celestia raised Twilight with her magic and let her see the whole room. The floor seemed to be a mesh of metal leading down into a holding tank of sorts. Twilight was still shaking and terrified, but more than anything she wanted to know what was going on. She began to speak through her fear "I don't und-"she was cut off by princess Celestia.
"Twilight, Luna and I are the alicorns of night and day. We live forever…if we are able to nourish ourselves. Have you ever heard the term "Blood is life?" Well it's true. We are able to achieve eternal life as long as we nourish ourselves with the blood of other ponies…but we have figured out one thing, the more energetic or "Alive" the blood we received at the time of death determined how much life force we were able to attain from it. That being said…Adrenaline was the key. So as we killed friend after friend before your eyes you became more and more scared… making your blood even more valuable to us. Twilight, now you know one of the darkest secrets of Equestria… the ones everypony depends on are actually blood thirsty monsters! Every autumn we get together and collect blood for the upcoming year. You and your friends have helped us for sure. Thank you, for making this our most bountiful year yet."
Twilight was now up against a wall held by Celestia's magic, she was helpless as the princess approached her. "Now Twilight…What should we do with you?" Twilight was caught off guard as the princess deeply kissed her again, Twilights heart rate increased and then she felt a sharp pain in her throat as she began to choke. Celestia backed up smiling with a thin line of blood running from her mouth; she licked the side of her mouth. "Delicious…I could feel your heart racing; the taste of your blood has never made me feel more alive! Your blood is like magic Twilight!"
Twilight glanced down and could see the bottom of a dagger handle protruding from her throat, as Celestia was kissing her she stabbed her in the throat. Twilights eyes started to close, the last thing she saw was Princess Luna walking towards her with various knives and other devices. The last thing running through Twilights mind before total darkness was this-
"Ghosts aren't real…but monsters... truly are…"
--------------------------- The Next Day ----------------------------------------
It was a silent morning in ponyville, the cool fall wind blew through the town kissing the frost on the ground and making the colorful leaves dance. It was earlier than when most ponies would be awake, but still one was walking. It was Rose Luck; she was walking about the town until she reached the middle of the Ponyville town square. She sat six beautiful roses on the ground in a wonderful bouquet and then turned; walking in the direction she came from. "I'm sorry it had to be this way girls... but the night and day needs to happen for the flowers to grow... right?"
Author's Note
I wrote this story in the October of 2012 as a bit of a dare to myself and also as a Halloween Story, I actually finshed writing it on Halloween night!
Some frequently asked questions I get are :
"Why with the sexual themes?"
I guess It just felt right to do when i was writing this, a lot of horror movies also have sexual themes or moments in them, For example the teenage couple carrying on in the car when suddenly a knife murderer appears and slices them up.
"Why Incest between the sisters?"
To me it added another "Edgy" Piece to the story, it makes the story more "Taboo" or "Disturbing" to most, and thats what i wanted. I wanted to write a messed up story for Halloween.
"Why put the Mane six in such an awful situation?"
It's a messed up story. I love the ponies just as much as you do, maybe even more. I mentioned that I wrote this story partially because of a dare to myself. That dare was to see if I could actually harm or kill characters that I was attached to because I felt it would help strengthen me as a writer to pt characters through situations like this. Plus there are tons of other fics that put our beloved ponies in grave situations far worse than mine even! You see the mature and gore tag on my story right?
