Amnesia

Chapter 6: The Final Encounter

I ran to Twilight’s house and threw open the door.

“Twilight! Twilight! It’s me! Where are you?” I called out to her.

I got up to room where Applejack was being taken care of and blood was all over the walls. No! She couldn’t have. I gasped and slowly walked into the room, dreading what I would see. Applejack was a bright red color and there was a hole in her chest. Her organs were popped out and spread all over the room. It almost looked as if she had been boiled alive from the inside and her body just exploded. I fell on the ground and broke down crying. How…How could I have let this happen? That fiend! Wait…I looked around and noticed something was missing. Twilight! Where could she be? I frantically began searching for Twilight shouting her name.

“Sw…Swirls? Is…Is that…You?” I heard a meek voice ask.

“Twilight? Yes! Yes I’m here! Where are you?” I called back.

I heard a noise, like something falling over and I ran towards it. It seemed she had hid in a closet and I threw open the door, draping my arms around Twilight. She was shaking profusely in fear.

“Did she hurt you?” I asked.

“N-No…I haven’t even seen her…I heard something at the door and I wanted to save Applejack! I did! But, there was no time…So, I hid. Swirls…I…I’m such a bad friend…How could I let her go let that?” Twilight broke down crying.

“Shhhhh…It’s okay Twilight. I know who did this. And she knows I know otherwise she wouldn’t have done this. I’m sorry I put you into danger like this. But I promise you something. I WILL go after her and make her suffer for this. Don’t worry. I will,” I told her while petting her mane.

“Who…Who did this? Please tell me,” Twilight begged.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. I can’t put you at more risk. I promise when I return I’ll tell you. When you’re all safe, you’ll know,” I told her.

And on that note, I got up and out of the closet. I needed everything and anything I could get to help fight her. I grabbed a few knives from the kitchen and padded my jacket with pillows to soften any blows. Sadly, that was all I could find so I had to be off. I headed towards her house and when I got there, the lights appeared to be off as if no one was home. I quietly checked the doorknob to see if it was unlocked. To my luck, it was. I slowly opened the door and cautiously walking inside. I held a knife out for my protection. I began walking through each room searching no avail. Bzzt! Huh? I quickly threw my head over my shoulder and collapsed on the floor.

I slowly opened my eyes to see a foreign room. There were maces, guillotines, and torture chambers of the like everywhere. I tried to moved, yet I found my hooves chained to a wall.

“So, Caramel…Did you finally remember your dearest sister or, perhaps you just saw though my lies,” the sick and twisted pony said.

“No sis, or should I say…Fluttershy. I just used my wits to decipher it. Applejack said there was no sun. She mistook the lights in your house for the sun. Your lights were too dim for her distorted memory to register. It had to be you,” I said.

“Oh, posh. I’m glad I killed that worthless pony then,” Fluttershy said, toying with a nail and staring me down as if she found the idea of a nail delicious.

“So, why? Why are you doing all this? I thought you loved your friends,” I said.

“My friends? Ha! I promised you revenge. God dammit Caramel! You were always so infuriating! I never got to have fun! I never got to win! I always had to live in your shadow!” Tears started welling up in her eyes, “I will get my revenge! You will suffer! Why can’t you remember why you deserve to suffer!?” She began frantically screaming at me and gripped her knife tightly. “Why won’t you remember!?” She began stabbing my arm multiple times. “Can you feel that? Does it hurt?”

I began screaming profusely. “Flutter, please. If you tell me what happened, maybe I’ll remember.”

“Oh, you better. I have enough torture devices here to entertain me for weeks,” she replied. She took out a syringe filled with a green liquid. “Does this look familiar? You injected me with this to test the effects. It’ll kill you slowly and painfully. It’s designed to make you feel pain like no other. You’re organs begin to shut down one by one as slowly as possible and it makes sure the important ones are last to elongate your life. Your blood will feel like it’s on fire as its boils you alive. Eventually, you'll explode and your organs will pop-out like with your friend Applejack. She never really had a chance after I injected her. You knew that though. Do you remember injecting me with this even after you knew what its intended effects were? Do you remember why you did it?”

I began squirming, looking for an escape from her as fear encompassed every fiber of my being. I screamed for her not to but she only got closer and closer. I looked at her face, it had a red tint to it. She stuck the needle in my arm and injected the liquid into me. I felt it flow throughout my veins at breathtaking speeds. I screamed in massive pain as I heard her laugh at my torment.

“I-I remember doing this to you…I remember a man congratulating me for it,” I was in tears trying to tell her what she wanted to hear.

“Of course he did. Father always loved you best. You were his pet—his star child. He wanted you to inject me as part of his lab experiment. That cruel man! That drug you injected me with really screwed with my brain. I never thought I had a taste for blood before it; so therefore, father’s death was his own fault. He wanted me to have the drug that made me kill him. Too bad you escaped with the notebook as I was slitting his throat,” Fluttershy said. “Oh, well. After I found you and knocked you out, I stole them. How else you think I was able to make this bad boy,” Fluttershy said shaking around the needle. She broke out into maniacal laughter once more.

Fluttershy rapidly began stabbing my other arm as I squirmed and screamed. After some time, I stopped squirming.

“Sis, please. Stop!” I begged and begged for her to stop. “I’m sorry. I’m truly, truly sorry.”

My sister laughed at my pain and suffering, yet again. I could see the redness growing in her face yet she wouldn’t stop stabbing me. She let go of the knife in my arm and went on a tirade about how jealous she was of my relationship with our father. I tried moving my left arm and it seemed to slip out of the chain. My sister noticed and waited to see my next move. I grabbed the knife and pulled it out of my arm.

“Hahahaha! You’re going to try to stab me? Awwww how cute! Too bad you’ll never be able to succeed,” Fluttershy laughed once more.

I took the knife and stabbed myself in the stomach as hard as I could.

Fluttershy stopped mid-laugh, “Huh?”

“I refuse to suffer. I refuse to let you kill me,” I said.

Fluttershy began itching herself everywhere as I felt the fix of feelings whirl inside of me. I felt my blood curdling, as it seeped out of me. And I began feeling my first organ shut down on me. Fluttershy laughed as I started to bleed out.

The world began growing dark for one last time. As I fell onto the ground, I heard her maniacal laughter followed by an explosion. I hit the ground and felt something slimy fall onto my back. The laughter was gone as I heard a clunk. As so it ended. The laughter ended and silence encompassed me for eternity.
