//-------------------------------------------------------// Muffins -by 456got- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 It’s been 3 months since Pinkie was arrested for the murder of Rainbow Dash, yet I still can’t understand why she decided to go after her and not any of us. What did she do to deserve that? Ponies have not been acting the same around Ponyville lately. Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, and I don’t know how to take any of this in. To think that one of our close friends would turn on us and murder Rainbow Dash. Everything seemed safe in Ponyville, until something else happened. It was Big Mac’s birthday and Applejack wanted to get him a cake. She stopped by Sugarcube Corner to ask the Cakes to make one for him. When she arrived, nopony was there, and this seemed suspicious. “H-Hello?” asked Applejack, “Is anypony here?” There was no reply. Nobody had really seen the Cakes around Ponyville in the past few days. Applejack realized quickly that something was up. She decided to snoop around, and then she heard Apple Bloom in the basement. She immediately thought something had happened to her. “APPLE BLOOM!” Applejack cried out. She ran into the basement but what she saw made her stop dead in her tracks. There in front of her was exactly where Rainbow Dash had been murdered. Apple Bloom stood there, knife in hand, with Derpy Hooves tied down to a chair. “What brings you here, sis?” Apple Bloom asked. “What are you doing to Derpy? Why is she tied to the chair?” Applejack said. Applejack was becoming very nervous and confused, wondering what Apple Bloom was planning to do with Derpy. Was she going to kill her? She examined around the room and saw pony skulls and then something caught her eye. In the corner were the Cakes. They had their eyes gouged out and their intestines were around their neck like a scarf. Apple Bloom noticed her staring at them. “Aren’t they pretty? They put up a good fight but they couldn’t stop me” She giggled. “Now about your question, I found a recipe in Pinkie’s Cookbook, so I wanted to make some muffins. They’re called Derpy Chunk Muffins.” “Apple Bloom, are you going to kill Derpy?” “Well of course silly, it’s what the recipe calls for. I went to visit Pinkie and asked her about it. She said that Derpy was the special ingredient, and she told me where to get it.” “Apple Bloom, this isn’t right, I have to tell somepony.” “Well we can’t have that, now can we Derpy?” Derpy was so traumatized she didn’t respond. Apple Bloom took a small knife and whizzed it through the air towards Applejack hitting her in the neck, causing blood to spray on Derpy. The knife sliced through the skin and cut her trachea causing Applejack to suffocate in a matter of minutes. She collapsed on the ground and twitched a few times before actually dying. Derpy let out a scream: “HELP!” Apple Bloom reached out, and covered her mouth. “Shhh!” said Apple Bloom, “They can’t know we’re here. We’ll get in trouble” She giggled. She reached for a knife. It was about 5 inches long with a very sharp blade which Derpy realized when Apple Bloom accidentally cut her hoof. She tried to scream but all that could be heard was a slight mumble. Apple Bloom slowly made an incision in her abdomen. Streaks of blood began to pour from her gut and puddled onto the floor. Apple Bloom started to smirk, when she suddenly realized something. “Maybe I’ll finally get my cutie mark,” she whispered. She continued the incision up to her chest, exposing Derpy’s ribs. Derpy again tried to scream but nothing came out. Apple Bloom used a bone saw and separated her ribs exposing her lungs and heart. Derpy let out a scream before passing out from the pain. “AGHHH!” Apple Bloom slowly harvested what she could without killing Derpy. She wanted her to enjoy the view. She first removed the liver, then intestines. She continued pulling out every organ one by one until all that remained was her still beating heart. Apple Bloom tried to keep Derpy alive throughout the harvesting. She noticed Derpy’s heart rate was slowing down, and grabbed some jumper cables and attached each end to one side of Derpy’s heart. When the electricity turned on Derpy awoke and looked vaguely around. By this time her pupils had become the size of needles only allowing her to see only shadows and some shapes. When she noticed what her chest looked like she almost fainted but held herself together. “Now the recipe calls for Derpy’s cutie mark and heart.” Derpy mumbled something as Apple bloom removed her heart: “They’ll find you” Derpy died. Apple Bloom giggled and cut off her cutie mark. She chopped it and her heart up and added them to the mix. She cleaned up Derpy’s body and threw it into an incinerator to be burned. She placed the Derpy Chunk Muffins in the oven, and then realized that she still had Applejack’s body in the basement. She didn’t know what to do with it. She then realized what the perfect use was going to be. “Big Mac will need a present, now won’t he?” she giggled. Apple Bloom went back into the basement to get Big Mac his present. She gathered it and the muffins to bring to the party. She made her way from Sugarcube corner to Sweet apple acres through town hoping not to expose what she was carrying. When she arrived, she was greeted by her family. She began to hand out Muffins to everypony, until they were all gone. “MMM… these are good,” said Big Mac with a smile. The Apple family wondered where Applejack was when she didn’t arrive. Apple Bloom said that she was still getting the cake. This seemed suspicious because it wasn’t like Applejack to miss an occasion like this. Later on, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity arrived. They decided to start opening presents. But Big Mac refused. “Let’s wait for Applejack to come.” Everypony who was there agreed. Big Mac knew his sister would want to be there when he opened his presents. “I’ll go get her,” said Apple Bloom. Everypony was confused with what she had said. They had thought that she was still getting the cake. Everything went quiet when Apple Bloom reached for her present to Big Mac. “I thought you were gonna get Applejack?” Big Mac asked. “But, I did…” replied Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom handed Big Mac his present and backed away a couple steps with a smile. “W-What is it?” asked Big Mac. “You’ll see,” replied Apple Bloom. Big Mac ripped the wrapping on the present and opened the box. Inside was Applejack’s head, which was still bloody and warm. Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy cried at the sight of her. They didn’t know what to do. Should they tell the authorities or just be quiet? They decided to keep it to themselves, in fear that they too might receive the same fate. “Do you like it?” asked Apple Bloom. “Eeyup” replied Big Mac.
