~Murder is Magic~ Book one: Crimson Bubbles
CH 4: Revenge Never Tasted So Sweet
Previous Chapter"I jus' can't take it anymore, Fluttershy! First Cheerilee went missin, then Derpy, then y'all then DR. Whooves...and now only you and Derpy made it back from where ever y'all were, and now Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are pickin' on me now more than ever along with Twist now! Twist was so sick of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon pickin' on her even after she got her cutie mark Twist started making fun of us now too! Along with another young filly named Jade! She blamed me fer spllin mah apple juice on Miss Cheerilee's desk a few weeks ago!" Applebloom sobbed looking up at Fluttershy.
Fluttershy listened to Applebloom's tale of woe," There there, Applebloom." She soothed stroking her mane with a hoof. "Come with auntie Fluttershy I'll let you in on a little secret, call Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Babs Seed too."
With that Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Babs Seed all found their way into the old Ancient Castle of the Pony Sister's. They froze when they saw Applejack's, Rarity's, Pinkiepie's, Twilight Sparkle's and Rainbow Dash's cutie marks all painted crudely on the wall with blood, guts and gore. They also saw the skeleton of the five upon the ground. They also saw Dr. Whooves and Cheerilee plastered upon the wall, both of them lying in a position that looked like they made a heart shape.
"Weep not." Derpy's voice echoed through the room grabbing the four filly's attention.
Their gaze travelled towards her voice. They saw a desk and a chair was facing away from them.
Derpy turned the chair around and placed her hoofs upon the desk. "I hear you have someponies talking trash about you?" She asked, smiling deviously.
"What didya do ta mah big sister!" Applebloom cried out, looking to the bones of Applejack, tears filling her orbs.
"I did nothing, a monster dragged all of these ponies down here, killed them all, Fluttershy and I barely escaped its clutches." Derpy explained weaving a white lie, she knew without a shadow of a doubt that these fillies would believe her if she told them she could help them get revenge on Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Twist and Jade.
Applebloom and the three other fillies huddled together crying. "How can I---"
"Girls, please trust Derpy." Fluttershy said trotting up to them looking down at the saddened fillies. " We did everything we could to save them but it was too late....I too am filled with sorrow that they are gone, but trust me they did not go down without a fight. Now listen to Derpy.....she has something to tell you."
"Would you do anything to get revenge upon Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Twist and Jade?" Derpy asked slowly, and seriously.
Scootaloo was the first to answer," YES! I'm sick of them picking on us! After Rainbowdash went missing it only got worse and now that I know she is gone it only makes me think that she'd want me to stand up for myself and fight back!
"I agree! I know what it's like ta be bullied for bein' a blank flank!" Babs said, her voice filled with sorrow and agony.
Sweetie Belle and Applebloom agreed without a second thought, the two fillies already filled with heart break to learn that their sisters had died here and Derpy and Fluttershy had done everything they could to save them only fueled their desire to fight back, it is what their sisters would have wanted.
Derpy smiled, "Excellent...now...." The gray pegasus pulled out a bloody knife from the desk drawer and a bubble wand.....

"Where are we?"
"It's so dark in here!"
"Ugh what is that stench?!"
"I'm scawred."
"Stop being a baby Twist and---"
Suddenly green unicorn light filled the room, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Twist and Jade were all strapped to tables. They looked ahead only to see Derpy, Fluttershy, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Babs Seeds slipping into the light out of some shadows before them.
"What is the meaning of this?" Diamond Tiara spat out, her eyes narrowed.
"You've been very bad ponies." Fluttershy said, walking over to them. "So hush now quiet now, it is time to lay your sleepy heads..." She trailed off and then smiled a twistedly. "Forever!"
Derpy let out a bout of cackles as she watched Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Babs walk up to their tormenters, each of them carrying a knife and a bubble wand with them.
"Hey Diamond Tiara!" Applebloom said, coldly. "Guess what?"
"What?!" Diamond Tiara spat out again, yet a hint of fear could be heard as she spotted the knife Applebloom held.
"Y'know...you coulda jus' been nice ta me then you wouldn't have been dragged down here. Shame you decided ta be a bucking witch though.." Applebloom sneered, gingerly poking Diamond Tiara's side with the tip of the knife.
"Yeah!" Scootaloo said, looking down at Jade, as she held the knife above the green haired Pegasus's head. "You know when you saved us from that dragon a while back Jade, I thought you were a cool and friendly pony, I can see how dead wrong I was!"
Jade gulped as Scootaloo placed the tip of the knife on her chest, tears ran down her eyes. "I-I-I it was the voices, I hear them! No! No! The Bloody Hooves! They told me if I wasn't nasty to you they'd kill me again! Please don't!"
"Hah, why should we stop?" Babs asked, looking down to Silver Spoon, placing the tip of the knife upon Silver Spoon's cheek. "Didja stop when you was callin' us names and blank flanks, huh?"
Silver Spoon narrowed her eyes. "Stop this! THIS ISN'T FUNNY! Fluttershy HELP PLEASE!"
"She isn't going to help you." Sweetie Belle mumbled, poking Twist in the stomach with the knife causing the filly to whimper. "You've been bad and nasty little fillies and Fluttershy says bad fillies like you don't deserve to live."
Fluttershy and Derpy bowed to the Cutie Mark Crusaders and stepped back into the depths of the shadows, to allow them to reek their revenge.
"Now it is your turn to be blank flanks!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders voices echoed throughout the dungeon. Ditzy Death's Revenge service was open.
Screams could be heard coming from Everfree, and if any pony were to look over and up above the Everfree forest, nopony could deny that they saw Crimson Bubbles floating in the sky.
