Sweet turned Twisted

Bullying… we witness it every day and it not always easy to avoid; not even in a land filled with colorful, magical ponies.

In a city/town like Ponyville, not all residents are as nice as a basket full of sweets. Take the two uppity young fillies Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon for example. They’re not sisters, but their best friends and they both come from rich families. The only problem they both have is… that they both spoiled rotten. But there’s one thing that they love to do the most… picking on other foals that have no cutiemarks like they do; they call them blank flanks!

However, for one filly that already has her cutiemark, her business with the bullies remains secretly. Her name is Twist, an earth pony who always loves to think positively and also loves to play and laugh with her friends; mainly the Cutiemark Crusaders. Those three try every day to earn their cutiemark but had no major luck yet. This made them such enjoyable, easy targets for D. Tiara and Silver Spoon to tease them and verbally insult them any time they can.

Twist always wanted to help them as well as any other friend she had that was easily picked on, but she was always in the background and never found the courage to do anything. But unknown to any pony, a hidden anger was bubbling inside her just waiting to come out. Anger she has held back for so long because she never had the courage to express it. But pretty soon it would have to come out some time; and whenever it does… it won’t be pretty.

One day, Twist was walking with her Crusader friends; Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They were hanging out and laughing with each other; and then they were going into other ideas about what they have done to try and earn a cutiemark and what they could try next. Of course Twist was doing her best to keep their spirits up and showing her support.

“Don’t you girlth dare ever give up; you’ll get your cutiemarkth thoon enough!”

“That’s easier for you to say, Twist,” Apple Bloom responed.

“Yeah, you got yours already,” Sweetie Belle added.

“Maybe, but I’m juth trying to lift your thpirith up; unlike thothe other two jerkth that keepth picking on you guyth anytime they can.”

Scootaloo completely agreed, “Tiara and Silver Spoon really are jerks; they think they’re soooo popular and important just because they’re rich and have their cutiemarks already.”

“I almost feel like crying every time they insult us;” Sweetie Belle added, “their words are so mean.”

Twist just gave a low-eyed look seeing Sweetie Belle sobbing a bit; she felt a little guilty, “I really do wish to thand up for you guyth, ith juth that I can never bring mythelf to thaying anything to thop them! Every time they thay or do thomething mean or nathy, I get angry and upthet… but I never do anything.”

“Well don’t worry about it, Twist,” said Apple Bloom, “no need to look out for us; we can fight our own battles.”

“Yeah, just like y-you have,” added Sweetie Belle sniffing slightly, “Um… sorta.”

“Darn right!” shouted Scootaloo.

Twist still didn’t feel any less sorry though, “I know, I know; it’s juth that … every time they pick on you guyth or anypony elth, I alwayth feel the thudden urge to do thomething real nathy to them; thomething… that would put thothe two in their place!”

Scootaloo chuckled to herself while imagining, “Oh man, I would love to see you do that!”

“Hey, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon maybe be popular and rich… and they may say some nasty thangs,” stated Apple bloom, “but if they keep on going like this, they won’t any friends in the end; then we’ll see whose cryin’.”

Twist seemed to agree partially, “Yeah, maybe… but I thill wish I could do thomething.”

The four fillies walked around some more until they got to the cutiemark clubhouse, and the members were ready to go in and start planning.

Apple Bloom looked over at Twist and asked, “Wanna stay with us, Twist?”

“Nah,” Twist responded, “you girlths go on and do your cruthading thing; I’m going to go help out my Aunt Pretthel who’th here to look after me while my parentth are out of town.”

“Okay then,” said Apple Bloom with a smile, “see ya later, Twist.”

The CMCs waved at Twist as they saw her off. She was just smiling and trotting ahead with a little pep in her step, feeling so lucky to have such good friends like them. And since they didn’t have their cutiemarks yet like she did, she would always show her support and help them in any way she could.

But just then, when she was only some ways away from the clubhouse, she suddenly heard a huge splash sound; followed by the screams… of her friends.

“Oh no,” she thought, “I wonder what happened!”

She quickly raced back in their direction as quickly as she could, and when she got there, she witnessed what happen from behind a tree. The CMCs had opened their clubhouse door, and over the door was a tilted bucket; and below… all three crusaders were soaking wet. They were in a state of shock, and were shivering from their wet coats and the unfortunate cold wind.

“Oh man, y-y-you’ve got to be k-kidding me!” shouted Scootaloo, “Look at us; we’re s-s-s-soaking wet!”

Suddenly, the bucket from above came loose and fell right on top of Scootaloo’s head.
*BANG!*

“Ow! Wh-what the hay!?”

“Sw-w-w-weet Celestia, that’s c-c-c-c-c-c-cold!” said Sweetie Belle while shivering, “Rarity’s going to kill me if she sees me like this!”

Twist couldn’t believe it; someone had purposely placed that bucket full of water over their door to tip over and pour when the door opened. And what’s worse, Scootaloo got hit in the head by the bucket to boot! Twist felt furious inside from this; if this was a prank, she didn’t find it funny.

“W-w-w-who in their r-right p-pony mind would do th-th-this to us?!” questioned Apple Bloom.

Suddenly, they all heard nearby giggling; from voices that was all too familiar.

“Check it out, Silver Spoon, it’s the CMC wet flanks! Their flanks were blank, but now they’re blank and soaking wet!”

“OMG, Tiara, I can’t believe they actually fell for it!”

Twist’s eyes grew wide in shock, it was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon; the very fillies she and her friends were just talking about. It seemed like they were the ones who did it; she should’ve known! Twist wanted to go over to them and set them straight, but again she chose to stay hidden while holding her anger in. But the more she watched, the angrier she got.

“Careful you three,” continued D. Tiara in her taunting voice, “you might end up catching a cold like that in this chilled air.”

The crusaders had turned around still shaking and saw who it was; and they became furious themselves.

“Wh-what the… you two!” shouted Apple Bloom, “You did this!?”

“We sure did,” said D. Tara with a little flourish, “It almost seemed like too much work to set it up ourselves; however, we like decided to do it anyway because we thought that it was going to be totally worth the labor… and you losers fell for it! And plus, we didn’t even plan on the bucket hitting one of you on the head; that was priceless!”

Tiara and Silver Spoon was suddenly on the ground on their backs laughing so hard at the CMCs humiliation. Suddenly, Apple Bloom found herself holding Scootaloo back by her tail to keep her from going at the bully duo.

“Let me g-g-go, Apple Bloom!” shouted Scootaloo furiously, “I’m going to b-b-buck both of their asses!”

“Scootaloo,” Sweetie Belle gasped, “your l-l-l-language!”

“Yeah Scootawoo,” mimicked Tiara in Sweetie’s voice, “your l-l-l-language. Don’t you know that it’s like very rude to use such filthy words in front of elegant ponies like us?”

Twist was still behind the tree watching everything from afar, and she was getting majorly pissed. Her eyes got narrowed, her ears lowered, her teeth was clenching and her blood was boiling. She had stored up plenty of anger towards those two fillies for too long; so where was it all supposed to go?

Meanwhile, Scootaloo calmed down and got beside Apple Bloom, but it didn’t change how she was feeling right now.

“W-why did yall do th-th-this?” questioned Apple Bloom, “Don’t we put up w-with you two enough at sc-c-c-chool?”

“Yeah,” Tiara responded, “but what’s the fun in that when we can like humiliate you anytime we want?”

Still shaking, Sweetie Belle gathered some courage and tried to stand up to them, “You… y-y-y-y-you two better kn-knock it off or… o-o-o-r…”

Diamond Tiara gave her a snooty glare, “Or you’ll what… wittle crybaby?!”

Sweetie Belle tried to stay strong, but the embarrassment was too much on her and she plopped on her flank and started to cry out loud and tears were flowing from her face.

“You t-t-two are the worst!” shouted Apple Bloom in anger, “Just how can y-y-you two live with your bratty lives!?”

“We can do it pretty well, actually;” Silver Spoon responded, “Thanks for asking!”

The two fillies were giggling again, not caring about what the others thought about their prank; because to them, it was hilarious, and making Sweetie cry was a bonus.

Twist was now more furious than she ever was before. It was bad enough with their teasing at school or wherever they run into each other, but now what they did was… inexcusable to her and she was all ready to charge.

Diamond Tiara started to pace back and forth in front of the fillies to have some fun in insulting them even more.

“You three are the most pitiful, pathetic group of fillies that we like have ever seen. All your useless attempts of gaining your cutiemarks have fallen flat, yet you still think that you’ll be able to earn yours; fat chance! Ponies like you three will always be blank flanks your whole lives; why, because you’re stupid… dumb… and now… completely wet all over!”

Apple Bloom was just glaring at them feeling annoyed and torn inside, Sweetie Belle was still crying and Scootaloo was just trying to keep herself cool. Then as if right on cue, the two fillies both shouted out…

“CUTIEMARK CRUSADER MEGA-LOSERS!”

That was it, deep inside… Twist finally snapped. She finally couldn’t take it anymore; she had enough of hearing those two harass her friends like this. Her dislike for them was starting to turn into pure hatred and she was willing to do anything to them to get them to shut up. She appeared from behind the tree where she was hiding and was galloping towards them as she shouted…

“THUT… UP!!!!!”

The two fillies and the CMCs suddenly looked up in surprise and saw the source of the loud comment. By the time Twist was near in front of Tiara and Silver Spoon, she was panting heavily. She looked up and straightens up her slanted glasses as she fixated her hatred glare on them.

“I’ve juth about had enough of hearing you two idioth and your… your idiot thenaniganth!!!”

Apple Bloom was looking at Twist with concern. She was usually purposely quiet when they were around, but this was completely different.

“Twist?”

“Well, well,” said Tiara annoyingly, “if it isn’t the four-eyed loser nerd. What’s the matter, you finally couldn’t stand us insulting your so called friends with no cutiemarks?”

“Wait a minute, Tiara,” said Silver Spoon, “I wear glasses just like her!”

“Yes Silver Spoon, but you are not a nerd or a loser, just a winner… like me.”

Silver Spoon took a sigh of relief, “Oh, okay then.”

“Do you two ever get tired of hearing each other talk,” said Twist in a lowly pissed manner.

“Not really,” Tiara said sarcastically, “but we are getting tired of that stupid voice lisp of yours. You should like try getting rid of that soon; oh wait, you can’t. I totally forgot that it’s in your nerdy nature.”

Twist was getting angrier and angrier with every insult they made towards her. Sure she had her cutiemark, but it didn’t make the words any more tiresome to hear.

“You two think you’re thooo thmart, don’t ya,” said Twist with an expression of major annoyance, “You think that you’re better than anypony elth becauth your popular, rich, and you have your cutiemarkth!” She suddenly stomps her hoof out of anger making the two fillies jump a bit, “Well geth what… you’re not! I’m tho thick and tired of you two alwayth picking on my friendth; the… the very wordth coming from your mouths maketh me wanna puke!”

Despite Twist making a different approach towards them, Tiara didn’t seem unfazed, “Oh like, what do you care anyway? It’s not like you actually try to do anything to stop us; you and your ridiculous frizzy hair.”

“Yeah,” said Silver Spoon smirking, “you’re nothing but a… a chicken; too scared to speak up for anypony!”

All three crusaders were starting to feel worried for Twist; after all, just a few minutes ago she explained to them of how she felt towards Tiara and Silver Spoon and how she wanted to put them… in their place. They knew that Twist or her and her family could be in legal trouble if this turned into a fight.

Twist’s body was shaking with pure angst, and she was staring them down hard with eyes full of a dark intent.

“You have no idea… how much I want to buck you both in the mouths right now… and ruin your smug little rich faces.”

Silver Spoon did appear to shake a bit under pressure, but Diamond Tiara wasn’t scared. She knew Twist wasn’t the fighting type… no matter how angry she could get. She smiled mischievously as she walked up to Twist and placed her face right in front of hers.

“You want to buck me in the face so badly, then like do it; go ahead and lay it on me, super nerd. I dare ya.”

Twist really wanted to do it; she wanted to lay out Tiara and her little follower right there and now. But luckily for them both, Twist just said nothing… and did nothing.

“Ha, just as I thought,” scoffed D. Tiara, “nothing but a big fat chicken; too much of a wimp to do anything.”

She then purposely raised her hoof and flicked Twist’s glasses right off of her angered face and they landed right in the dirt. Tiara just chuckled to herself and walked on by Twist who could do nothing but stand there and feel furiously sorry for herself.

“Well, we had our good laugh, we should head home now; away from this… looooser fest.”

“Ha, ha, loser fest;” shouted Silver Spoon in amusement, “good one, Tiara!”

Tiara looked back at the sneering CMCs as she and her friend walked off, “See ya tomorrow, wet flanks!”

“Ugh, those two are really asking for it,” shouted Scootaloo as she was shaking some more water off of her, “I’d like to pour cold water all over them!”

“Are you g-g-oing to be okay, Twist?” asked Sweetie Belle concerning.

Twist’s teeth were bared and she was slightly tearing out of anger as she slowly went over to her glasses and wiped the dirt off. She slipped them back on her face and then answered Sweetie’s question.

“I’m fine, but thothe two… they detherve far worthe than thoaking wet fur. Those inthecth need to be taught a lethon… a permanent lethon.”

Apple Bloom felt a little unsettled from Twist’s words and the pissed tone of her voice.

“Yeeeeah…,” Apple Bloom responded, “Well, come on Crusaders; it just so happens that I have a blow dryer inside the clubhouse. We can just dry off here!”

“Oh thank celestia,” shouted Sweetie Belle, “I f-f-feel better already!”

“That is a weird coincidence,” said Scootaloo, “At least we can continue our crusading without any more… disturbances.”

They all were about to walk into the clubhouse until suddenly Twist shouted out, “Are you guyth theriouth?! That’s it?! You’re not going to do anything elthe?! They’re getting away; don’t let them get away with thith!”

“Twist, calm down,” Apple Bloom responded, “It’s just water; no pony got hurt.”

“Speak for yourself,” said Scootaloo as she rubbed her head from being hit by a bucket.

“Look, the point is that it’s nothin’ to get worked up fer; so don’t worry about it.”

“Yeah, we’ll be f-f-fine,” said Sweetie Belle wiping her eyes, “See, I’m not even crying anymore.”

That really didn’t matter to Twist at this point, she wanted something done to them that would make them regret to ever insult her and her friends.

“Don’t worry about it; don’t worry about it?! Do you guyth even hear yourthelfth?! Thoth two prickth just majorly inthulted me and had the nerve to put their thinking hooves on my glatheth; and they made you three look tho… thupid! I’m not thaying that you guyth are thupid, but yall need to realize that they are not going to thop! If you don’t do anything about thith, they’ll juth keep mething with you! They need… to pay… NOW!!!”

Apple Bloom knew that Twist was just blowing off some steam and came down to her still partially soaked to comfort her, “Let it go, Twist; it’s fine. Don’t hurt yerself over this. Those two are gonna pay in some way one day, but going about this irrationally could lead to our own misfortune; especially since they have advantages of being rich. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon probably know this too since they’re so confident in not getting in too much trouble. You understand, right Twist?”

Twist suddenly pulled away from Apple Bloom and began walking away still feeling a great deal of anger in her soul, “Yeah… I get it. Have fun with your cruthading.”

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?!” Sweetie Belle shouted out.

“Yes; I promith!” Then Twist hid her pissed expression as she continued to walk off, “I’m… perfectly fine.”

They all knew that she wasn’t fine at all, but they also knew that she would be okay eventually once she got it off her chest.

“Poor Twist,” said Sweetie Belle sadly, “she’s taking this pretty hard, isn’t she?”

“Don’t worry, she’s Twist;” Scootaloo replied, “She’ll be fine, you’ll see.”

Apple Bloom nodded in agreement, “She’s right, Sweetie. Now come on, we need to dry off before we really do catch a cold.”

For all the CMCs knew, Twist could’ve been storming her way right towards the troublesome duo to get revenge, but they knew she really wouldn’t do that; and luckily, she didn’t. Still holding a huge amount of anger and hatred of the two rich fillies inside her, Twist was storming her way back to her house/ candy shop. She did her best to keep on a straight face as she made her way there, but every thought that went in her head about today’s encounter with the filly bullies just made it too hard for her to keep a straight face.

She did make it without anyone being suspicious, and as she walked inside, she was greeted by her Aunt; the one watching her while her parents were out of town.

“Oh, why hello Twist,” she said with a gleeful smile, “Back from being with your friends I see. So… are you doing okay?”

Twist didn’t seem to look at her straight in the eye as she just stomped by her and was headed towards her room, “I’m doing juth fine, Aunt Prethel,” she responded in a lowly manner, “I’m going to my room for a few minutes… don't bother me.”

Pretzel was looking rather concernedly in Twist’s direction as the little angered filly went up to her room and slammed the door behind her. She felt that something weird was going on, but then she just smiled awkwardly and called out…

“Um… okay. Holler if you need anything!”

Twist actually didn’t mean to speak that way to her; in fact she really loves her and her Aunt loves her back. But unfortunately, Pretzel was a little on the ditzy side and wasn’t always aware of certain situations… like Twist’s strange behavior.

Twist had locked herself in her room and started to take out all of her frustrated anger inside there. She threw some her
stuff around, bucked things down with her hind legs and was yelling out what she really felt about her hated pair of fillies.

“I HATE THEM! I HATE THEM! I HATE THEIR FREAKING GUTH!”

At one point, she picked up a valuable diamond gem that she had and held it up with her hoof. But then she stopped for a second to catch her breath; but as she did, the words of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were suddenly relapsing in her head.

“Four-eyed loser!”

“Super nerd!”

“Such a chicken.”

“Looooooser fest!”

“Too much of a wimp to do anything.”

She couldn’t stand those re-occurring words in her head; her mind was on the verge of going completely mental. She suddenly shouted out in frustration…

“I… I wish… I WISH THEY WOULD BOTH JUST DIE!!!”

Then with all her might, she threw her diamond gem at a wall… surprisingly expecting it to shatter upon impact. But instead, the gem ricocheted off the wall and slammed right into Twist’s forehead… causing her to fall down on the ground in immense pain.

“OOOOOOOOW!!!” she screamed out loud.

She slowly got up onto her flank and was holding her hooves on her forehead slightly tearing from the searing pain, “Thweet thelethia that hurt!”

Suddenly, she heard a light noise in front of her that sounded like a water droplet. When she opened her eyes and looked down, she did see a droplet… but it was red colored. When she looked up in front of her, she was in front of her bedroom mirror; and she gasped suddenly when she noticed a thin line of red liquid coming from her forehead, between her eyes and all the way down to her snout. Her eyes widened, and her heart was racing out of pure shock. Her hooves were trembling as she took them of her forehead and saw the red liquid smeared all over them.

“Am I… I’m… I’m bleeding! Oh thweet thelethia I’m bleeding!”

The poor little filly was freaking out and panicked over the sight of her own blood leaking out of her; she was starting to lose her mind as she just sat there with her whole body shaking and her sanity slipping away. But then… it soon occurred to her; her newly open wound that was causing her sudden pain and the warm blood that was flowing from it… it was from the gem that she threw out of frustration of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon’s bullying. She soon started to wonder… does that mean that they did this to her; are they the cause of her to spill her own blood?

Staring at her little puddle of blood on the floor, a sinister glint shined across her glasses, and her angered frown suddenly turned into a slight little smile as she just chuckled to herself and then used her hoof as she started to draw a neat little scribble of the cutiemarks of the two rich fillies with her own blood.

“They think I’m a thuper nerd, do they?” she said to herself sounding slightly insane, “Think I’m too much of a wimp to do thomething, huh?!”

Once she was done with her little masterpiece, she then raised her hoof up in the air and then slammed it down upon it; causing tiny trickles of the red liquid to splatter around her area. She looked at the splattered picture of the cutiemarks and her creepy smiled turned back into an expression of… vengeance.

“Oh, we’ll juth thee about that.”

According to plan

The next following day, the fillies and colts of Ponyville were heading back to the Ponyville Schoolhouse for another great day of learning and education. They were all getting in their seats and sharing little conversations with each other while waiting patiently for their teacher, Miss Cheeliee to be ready. Once she was in front of the class, she started to take the roll. She called out Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Featherweight, Dinky Hooves, and Ruby Pinch; she just about called out all of her students.

However, when she got to the last name on the roll…

“Twist?!”

… she heard no pony speak; so she tried again.

“Twist, are you here?!”

But still no voice was heard. Cheerliee soon noticed the empty desk in the room that once housed the young filly.

“Hmm, I wonder where she is.”

“Maybe she was too stressed toady and decided to stay home, Miss Cheerliee,” Tiara responded in a light chuckle.

Cheerliee just scratched her head, “It’s not like Twist to just miss out on school day for no reason.”

“Oh, Miss Cheerliee,” a filly named Ruby Pinch called out.

“Yes Ruby?”

“I almost forgot, I ran into Twist this morning and she asked me to give you this.”

Ruby walked up to Cheerliee and gave her the letter that was in her mouth. She opened it up and read it carefully.

“What’s this…? ‘Sorry that I couldn’t join your class on this last day of the week, but I decided to stay home today to help my Aunt manages the store today; family business and all. I look forward to learning more from you again starting next week.’ So that’s her reason.”

“You know Miss Cheerliee,” said Diamond Tiara, “maybe you should’ve done it in Twist’s lisp voice.”

“Yeah, it sounds so amusing,” Silver Spoon snickered.

Cheerliee gave both of them a little scowl to signal them a warning, “Now you two, there will be no picking on some pony’s lisp; it’s not very nice.”

“Of course,” said Tiara so innocently, “we’re sorry.” Then she and Silver Spoon snickered amongst themselves again.

Apple Bloom and her friends knew that Twist wouldn’t lie; especially to her teacher and classmates. However, they had a feeling that there was still something more behind this than they knew as they whispered to each other.

“Hey girls,” said Apple Bloom, “ya don’t think Twist stayed home because of what happened yesterday, do ya?”

“I bet my hoof on it,” Scootaloo responded.

“Maybe… we should check on her after school,” said Sweetie Belle, “You know, to make sure that she’s okay.”

They all nodded in agreement, “Agreed.”

They all sat back up in their seats as Cheerliee got situated and was ready to begin the day, “Well, now that that’s taken care of, we can start with today’s lesson.”

Before all the students knew, school was already over for the day. The CMCs never thought it would come soon enough; they were all ready to head over to Twist’s place for a little visit. Surely she had a really good reason for not showing up today, but they just wanted to make sure.

“Hey girls,” shouted Apple Bloom as they walked out of the schoolhouse, “ready to go check on Twist?”

“I sure am;” said Sweetie Belle, “I just hope that she’s alright.”

“Maybe she really is just working to help her parent’s business,” stated Scootaloo.

“Yeah… maybe.”

“Off to visit your nerdy friend, blank flanks?” said Diamond Tiara approaching from behind.

The CMCs just stopped in their tracks and all three just rolled their eyes.

“Silver Spoon and I are like heading over to my house, so why don’t you tell ol’ frizzy hair of how much we missed her today and her most pitiful personality.”

“Really Diamond Tiara,” said Apple Bloom as she and her friends faced them, “really? After what you two did, you’re really going to go there?”

“How about you two get a life and find something more worth your time,” shouted Scootaloo.

“Y-yeah,” Sweetie Belle tried to continue, “Y-you know good and well of the real reason Twist probably didn’t come today; it’s because of what you did to her yesterday!”

Tiara and Silver Spoon were just giggling at Sweetie’s attempt in talking back at them and just brushed it off.

“Oh like… whatever,” scoffed Tiara, “If you ask me, she brought it on herself. It’s not our fault she decided to get into a conversation that was like none of her business.”

“If she couldn’t stand the heat, she should’ve stayed out of the kitchen,” Silver Spoon added.

Suddenly, Apple Bloom just smiled and had a good laugh; the two rich fillies were wondering if she had lost it or something.

“What’s so funny,” said Tiara, “I don’t remember us trying to make you laugh.”

“You two really are amusing, y’know that. Yall can say and do all yall want, but one of these days you two are gonna wish you were more nicer to ponies like us; and if you’re not careful, somepony might try to do something completely different. Yall better change before it’s too late or you’ll regret it.”

“Is she… threatening us, Tiara?” question Silver Spoon.

“Sounds like it to me; but those threats will fall on deaf ears.”

The two rich fillies started to take their leave away from the crusaders

“Let’s get one thing straight here, loser. You and your little entourage don’t scare us, and we really don’t care what you think of what we want to do. Isn’t that right, Silver Spoon?”

“Um… yeah, that’s right!”

“Plus, if any pony is going to regret anything, it’s anypony that tries to mess with us. Too bad that there’s nothing you can do about it, crusader dorks!”

The two fillies were laughing again as they walked off; then, Scootaloo shouted out, “By the way Tiara, I think your flank getting a bit big, don’t ya think!?”

Tiara suddenly gasped and ran off backwards until she was out of their view.

“That was a pretty good one, Scootaloo,” said Sweetie Belle, “insulting her figure like that.”

“Yeah, giving her a little piece of her own medicine; after all, I had to do something to feel better.”

“Come on, girls,” Apple Bloom shouted suddenly, “Ah’m a bit famished. Let’s stop for a little something to eat at my place, and then we can check on Twist. Hopefully she isn’t too busy or anything.”

The two rich fillies continued down the path towards the house of Tiara’s; both feeling pretty high of themselves like nothing could stop them. But soon down the road… they were about to get a little unexpected surprise.

“How dare she say that,” growled Tiara, “calling my fabulous flank fat! You don’t think my flank is getting big, right Silver Spoon?”

Silver Spoon jumped a bit when Tiara pointed her flank in her face, “Whoa! Um… n-no, of course it isn’t.”

Tiara just rolled her eyes, “Whatever, it’s not like I care or anything. And that whole speech thing about ponies wanting to have revenge on us was like so lame.”

“Yeah; I mean who would want to take revenge on us?” questioned Silver Spoon, “With the financial power we have behind us, no pony would dare do something like that, right?”

“Exactly, Silver Spoon; plus, no need to worry about that nerd, Twist either. We saw first-hand how she handled her frustration and her family can’t afford a lawsuit from us. Trust me, we’ll be just fine.”

Suddenly, they found themselves halting in their path as they saw construction ponies working through debris that was blocking their usual path to Tiara’s house.

“Oh you got to be kidding me,” groaned Tiara.

“Sorry girls,” said one of the workers, “I’m afraid that this path is blocked and no pony can get through here right now. It is quite strange actually; this mess wasn’t here last night, now all of a sudden it shows out of nowhere. I guess you two are going to have to take the long way back around.”

“Thanks, but no thanks,” scoffed Tiara, “we know another shortcut. Come along Silver Spoon.”

As they took a side detour, Silver Spoon was quite curious of what Tiara meant, “We know another short cut?”

“Well duh,” said Tiara, “This short cut.”

Silver Spoon looked ahead on their alternate path that led into a small pathway inside a dark forest.

“Wait, y-y-y-you want us to go… through there?!”

“Of course; the other way is blocked and there’s no way I am walking back all the way around. So come on, let’s go.”

Silver Spoon was shaking while feeling a strange sensation coming over her, “I don’t know, Tiara. I think I want to go back around.”

“Don’t be silly,” Tiara responded, “I’ve gone through here a couple of times and I’m just fine now come on.”

Silver Spoon was just stepping away unsure of doing what Tiara suggested.

“Oh would you cut it out, Silver Spoon,” Tiara shouted, “You already wear glasses like that nerd filly, don’t be a chicken like her too!”

To Silver Spoon, Tiara had a point; she refused to have any other similarities to Twist. So she took a deep breath, and gathered all of her courage to comply with her friend.

“Y-y-you’re right, Tiara; I’m no chicken. Let’s travel this shortcut!”

“Now that’s more like it,” said Tiara with a proud smile.

They began to walk down the slightly dark path in the forest while Silver Spoon was trying her best to brave; even though deep down she was still a little scared.

“See, this isn’t so bad, right?” questioned Tiara as she was walking ahead of Silver Spoon.

“Y-yeah… I guess it’s not too bad. I just hope that we get there soon.”

Suddenly, she accidentally stepped on something that made a loud snap sound that literally scares her and causes her zip right up against Diamond Tiara shaking furiously.

“Oh my gosh, Tiara; I think I like… heard something! What was that!?”

Diamond Tiara turned around and saw what her friend was talking about; and she just rolled her eyes, “It’s just a branch, Silver Spoon.”

“Oh… heh heh, I-I-I-I knew that,” Silver Spoon responded nervously.

They continued to walk on while Tiara was literally lecturing her friend, “Honestly, Silver Spoon; if you’re ever going to like get ahead in life, you can’t let things scare you so easily. You have to march forward with your head held high and your spirit full of determination! That is like the quality of a true financial leader; that’s what my daddy told me anyway.”

Silver Spoon was quite envious of her friend in a good way. Tiara always seemed to keep herself cool under pressure and let nothing scare her; Silver Spoon wanted to be just like her. But then at that moment, a pair of white hooves quickly reached out and wrapped around Silver Spoon’s mouth as her fear came back in full force. She was only able to make a small muffled sound before being immediately pulled into the bushes.

“You know, I was thinking… in the near future we should totally start a business together using the financial power of both of our families. We’ll both be so rich and powerful, no regular ponies like those loser crusaders or that nerd would dare threaten us; don’t you think so?”

Suddenly, Tiara looked behind her and noticed that her friend was nowhere to be seen.

“Huh, Silver Spoon; like where did you go?”

Her eyes turned partially wide when she noticed that nothing but her friend’s glasses was lying on the pathway behind her. She quickly rushed over to them and picked them up; wondering where Silver Spoon could be. But then she just laughed thinking she knew the answer.

“Nice try, Silver Spoon; but if this is like some lame attempt to freak me out so you can scare me, it won’t work. So come on out and save yourself from the humiliation.”

But Tiara didn’t see her friend come out of hiding; she was quite sure that she was going to scare her, “Come on Silver Spoon, I know you’re behind those bushes; now come on and stop playing around!”

Silver Spoon still wasn’t coming out; but maybe she just wanted to test her to see if nothing really scares her.

“*Sigh* Okay, Silver Spoon; I’ll humor you.”

She pretended to stare prolonging into the bushes, and then she jumped through them onto the other side to give Silver Spoon a scare.

“AHA!!! See Silver Spoon, I told ya that nothing scares me. Now come on so we can like get out of this creepy forest.”

But when she looked around, she still saw no sign of her friend. Now she was starting to get really worried.

“S-S-Silver Spoon, this really isn’t funny anymore; I’m not getting s-scared or anything but we seriously need to…”

Suddenly to her side, she finally saw Silver Spoon; laid out on the ground on her side, and she was completely unconscious.

“SILVER SPOON!!!”

She rushed over to her to try and wake her up, but nothing was happening. She also appeared to have a huge bruise on her head that was red all over.

“Oh Celestia, please wake up! I’m really not playing Silver Spoon, now wake up! Who on Equestria did this to you!? I… I oughta have their flanks like whipped for this!”

Just then why attending to her knocked out friend, a mysterious shadow suddenly looms over Tiara and holds a metal pipe in its mouth; ready to deliver the same possible blow on the unsuspecting filly.

“Huh… what the…”

The shadow took a swing and Tiara was knocked out in an instant. After Tiara fell on top of her friend, the shadow looked over them to make sure they were completely unconscious. It suddenly grinned with an ominous smile as it prepared to do whatever it wishes to the unfortunate fillies.

Later on, the CMCs finally arrive at the house of their friend, Twist, to see if she was alright. They knocked on the door and it was answered by Twist’s Aunt.

“Oh, why hello there little fillies,” she said with a smile.

“Hello mam,” Apple Bloom responded, “You’re Twist’s Aunt, right? We’re some of your niece’s friends; Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.”

“Wait a minute,” said Pretzel suddenly, “you must be those three filly friends Twist told me about; the Cutiemark Crusaders!”

“Well… yes, that’s us,” said Sweetie Belle.

“Well aren’t yall just adorable! It’s so precious the way you all try so hard to earn your cutiemarks; in fact, if my flank was still bare, I could learn a lot from you three and possibly join your ranks as a crusader!”

“Um… yeah, we would… totally let you join,” said Scootaloo while feeling weirded out.

“Excuse me,” Apple Bloom continued, “We came here to see Twist; she didn’t show up at school today so we just thought we come over here to see if she was actually staying here while helping out in the shop.”

“Oh don’t you worry about her, she is absolutely fine. I mean… sure she was acting a bit weird yesterday, but whatever it was seemed to pass over; she must have had a rough day. Anyway, she told me a while ago that she was going to get a couple of things in town so she should be back soon. That little filly is growing up so fast; so responsible.”

“Is it just me, girls…” whispered Scootaloo, “… or is Twist’s Aunt a few crumbs short of a pretzel?”

The crusaders became awfully curious of exactly how Twist acted when she got home yesterday after hearing her Aunt’s explanation.

“Wait, so what exactly did she do yesterday?” asked Apple Bloom.

“Are we dithcuthing thomething about me over here?” said a nearby voice.

“Twist!” all the crusaders shouted out as they looked over to their side and saw their friend approaching them calmly.

“Oh Twist,” said Sweetie as she went over and hugged their friend, “I guess you are just helping to clean around your parent’s shop; thank goodness you’re alright!”

Twist just looked at them weirdly with her eyebrow arched, “Why wouldn’t I be alright?”

“Well… you know,” muttered Apple Bloom, “… because of what happened… yesterday.”

Twist just stared at them dumbfounded and her eyes narrowed a bit; but then she just turned on a cute little smile, “Oh, you mean that inthident? Yeah, I’m all over with that; no need to worry about me.”

They were glad to see that she was doing fine, but her Aunt’s explanation of yesterday still had them questioning her.

“So… you’re not mad anymore;” said Scootaloo, “No more anger and wanting to do something to those two jerks?”

“Nah,” Twist responded, “That’th all behind me now. You guyth were right; what happened yethterday wath nothing to get too worked up over. Thith little pony ith all calmed down.”

Suddenly, Sweetie Belle noticed something that shocked her, “Oh my gosh, Twist! What happened to your forehead; why is there a huge bandage on it!?”

Twist tilted her eyes upward and rubbed the bandage with her hoof, “Oh thith, ith nothing; no big deal.”

“No big deal?!” shouted Pretzel so suddenly, “This poor little filly came downstairs to me and she had this big punctured wound that was literally leaking out blood; I thought she was going to faint from blood loss or something!”

Twist looked up at her Aunt with lowered eyes feeling a bit embarrassed, “Come on, Aunt Pretthel, it wathn’t that theriouth.”

“What on earth did you do yesterday that caused that, Twist?!” asked Apple Bloom in a panic.

While twiddling with her hoof, Twist answered, “Well… I thorta went into my room and let out all of my anger and thress in there. You know; I threw thingth and bucked thingth down. Doing that wath reliving me and got me to calm down; but… I have thith diamond gem… and I threw that at one point; but I threw it tho hard that it ricochet off the wall thmacked me right in the forehead. It really did hurt a lot.”

“Oh you three should see her room,” said Pretzel, “it’s an absolute mess in there. Of course it didn’t really matter to me seeing that Twist was dreadfully injured and all so it could stay like that if she wants to… unless her parents want her to clean when they get back tomorrow then maybe she should; or maybe they should worry about the injury more… unless…”

“Aunt Prethel,” said Twist stopping her in her speech, “pleathe don’t hurt yourthelf trying to figure thingth out.”

“Of course, my bad; I must sound rather ditzy right now, but don’t worry… I get that a lot.”

The crusaders were at a loss for words trying to figure Twist’s Aunt out; she seemed nice but she was indeed a bit ditzy in the head.

“Soooo…. Anyway, it’s good to see that you’re doing a lot better Twist,” said Apple Bloom, “So don’t you feel a lot better letting go of all that anger?”

“It thure doeth; like the weight of my burdernth have been lifted off my tholderth!”

“So… do you want to hang out with us today?” questioned Sweetie Belle with a smile.

“Oh… I would love too, but…”

“Oh yeah, the whole tidying up and handling the shop for your parents… thing.”

Twist nodded and smiled, “Yep, but would it be okay if I hang out with you girlth tomorrow inthead?”

“Sure thang Twist,” Apple Bloom responded, “you can hang out with us anytime ya want.”

“Thankth, I knew you girlth would underthtand.”

After a little more conversating with them, the CMCs took their leave and waved at Twist as they did; they were just glad she was doing better and was looking forward to hanging out with her tomorrow. Twist watched as they went on feeling a sense of relief; but now she needed to do something before it was too late.

“You’re so lucky to have such good friends, Twist,” said Pretzel, “They really do care about you.”

“That’th nice,” Twist responded solemnly, “By the way, are you doing anything mainly right now?”

“Well… besides being here with my cutie of a niece and help out with things… I don’t think I am.”

Twist smirk mischievously, “Well I gueth that’th a good thing… ‘cauthe I thet you up on a date!”

“What?!” Pretzel started to freak out, “Tw-Tw-Twist; why on Equestria would you do that?!”

“Becauth I care about you, Aunt Prethel, and how you’re thingle; you detherve to thpend time with a thpecial thomepony.”

“Twist… I-I-I’m flattered and all and I’m sure that your heart is in the right place, but you didn’t have to go through all that trouble just for me.”

“Hey Twist, how’s it hangin’?” said a voice behind them, “I’m here.”

They both turned around and saw a magnificent young earth stallion with a wavy blonde mane and bage coat. Pretzel was shocked at how beautiful and handsome he looked; and she suddenly felt even more out of it than she usually is. His nice smile made her melt on the inside and she suddenly forgot about Twist’s action.

“Oh my goodness; hee hee. Well… um, maybe I could overlook this problem; after all, you went through so much trouble.”

“Aunt Prethel, let me introduth you to a thtallion friend of mine, Rocky; Rocky… my Aunt Prethel.”

“So you’re Prethel,” the young stallion responded, “I gotta say, you look a lot more pretty than what your niece here described.”

Pretzel just giggled a bit and blushed out of embarrassment, “Oh, really?”

“Thee Aunt Prethel, told ya that you’ll like him. Tho why don’t you give him a chanthe and let him take you out on a date?”

“Oh… I don’t know Twist; what about you? What are you going to do all this time by yourself?”

“Don’t worry about me, I’ve help my parentth here all the time; tho I can handle thingth on my own here.”

“She’s right you know;” said Rocky, “I’ve been here plenty of times and she always seems to know what to do around here. Her parents are raising her well.”

“Well…” said Pretzel while smiling dazedly, “I guess it’ll be alright since you two put it that way. I guess maybe I do need to socialize more with other ponies besides my own family. Okay handsome, I’m all yours.”

“Very well then,” said Rocky, “I guess we’ll leave maintaining this store to you Twist.”

“I thure am, Rocky. Have fun with my Aunt; thhe may be a little ditzy but I think you’ll thtill like her.”

“I do like a good challenge,” he chuckled.

“By the way Twist, when do you want me to be back?” Twist’s Aunt asked her.

While keeping a straight face, she said, “Oh don’t worry about that, take ath long ath you need; I’m not ruthing you or anything. I’ll take care of thingth here.”

Pretty soon Twist’s Aunt went off into town with Rocky leaving little Twist to manage the store all by herself… perfect; absolutely perfect. Twist had the most adorable smile on her face as she saw her Aunt walk off and having a conversation with her new date; but she did feel a little terrible for tricking her… and her friends.

Shifting her glasses up on her face, an evil-like intent flash upon her face as everything was going as she planned.

“Thorry that I had to trick you guyth like thith,” she thought to herself, “But I didn’t want ya’ll to thee me do thith; what hath to be done… needth to be done.”

Severing a Spoon

(It's not too late turn back around now; it's going to get pretty rough here.)

“Aw man, like… wh-what happened? I’m having a m-major headache right now.”

The last moment that Diamond Tiara could recall was seeing her friend Silver Spoon knocked unconscious and then feeling something very hard smack right against the back of her head, and then the rest was all blank. She was finally waking up; slowly opening her eyes trying to gain a good view of her surroundings. Suddenly, her eyes grew wide when she looks down and realizes that she wasn’t even on the ground, she was being held up in the air by a chain that was wrapped around her hooves; and some strong rope kept her hind legs together tightly. She couldn’t get down and she couldn’t get loose, and the dark creepy surroundings didn’t help in calming her down.

“Ahhhhh, where am I; why am I like all chained up like this?!” she screamed in panic, “I… i-if somepony is trying to hurt me, y-y-you’ll totally regret it!”

“What’th the matter,” said a nearby mischievous voice, “not enjoying your thurroundingth?”

The frightened pink filly looked around feeling a huge sensation of fright shivering across her body, “Wh-wh-who was that? Show yourself; I-I-I’m not afraid of you?!”

The voice had good chuckle before speaking again, “Well… you thould be; you have no idea of how long I wanted to do thith to you. It’th going to be gloriouth!”

To Tiara, the voice sounded creepy, and a little on the psychotic side; but more importantly, she recognized something else, “Wait a minute, that lisp… it couldn’t be… it can’t be…”

Suddenly below her, coming out of the shadows was someone who she least expected; a young white filly with frizzy red hair, and the purple glasses were an obvious giveaway. She looked up at the captured pony giving her a creepy glare through her glasses, and smiled while chuckling under her breath.

“Hi, did you mith me?”

“It is you;” Tiara shouted in anger, “the four-eyed nerd!”

The filly known as Twist suddenly lost her smile and frowned grimly at Tiara, “You know, that name ith not in any way funny; never wath and it never will.”

“Wait a minute,” said Tiara, “You’re the one who knocked me out in that forest?!”

“Thure did, and you totally fell for it like a complete idiot.”

“You little… if this is a prank, it’s not funny!”

Diamond Tiara suddenly began to wonder where her friend Silver Spoon was. Could it be that Twist had done something to her?

“Where’s Silver Spoon; what did you do with her?!”

“Oh calm down, will ya;” Twist responded in an annoyed tone, “She’s right here.”

Twist suddenly shinned a single light down on a rustic metallic table, where on it laid her friend Silver Spoon… still slightly unconscious. Her entire mid-section of her body was wrapped in and held down by some strong rope and all of her hooves were sticking out in all directions and were being held down by super molding glue that Twist molded over her hooves while she was out. She made sure that it was super tight so her victim wouldn’t be able wiggle out freely.

Suddenly, she was beginning to slowly wake up; groaning from her past feelings of the pain she received earlier.

“W-w-what… what’s happening?”

“Hiya Thilver Thpoon;” said Twist standing over her face smirking menacingly, “you’re finally awake; nithe of you to join uth.”

“What the… Twist!?”

Silver Spoon’s eyes grew wide and began to panic once she realized how she was bolted down on the table she was on.

“What’s going on?! Like where am I?!”

“Where are you,” said Twist, “juth inthide a little cothy part of a bathement underneath my parent’th houthe where my dad keepth a lot of old equipment that he doethen’t uth anymore; it’th a perfect thecret hiding plathe. Oh, and it’th not just you, I even brought your friend here too. By the way, like how I tied you down; I came up with the molding idea mythelf.”

Silver Spoon looked up in the air in front of her and saw Tiara dangling from the ceiling by some chains. She was feeling even more terrified than she was before. What going to happen to them, and why was Twist here; but that information soon got distracted from her mind when she noticed something on her friend.

“Ahhhhhh; Diamond Tiara, y-y-your cutiemark!”

Suddenly, Tiara looked on one of her sides and noticed the sudden pain she was feeling. A thin chunk of the flesh on her flank was gone revealing a red gouge spot with dried blood on the side of her legs; and the same was for her other flank too.

“Huh, Ahhhhh; their gone!” she screamed with tears in her eyes

But then she looked down and saw that the same thing happened to Silver Spoon.

“Ahhh, and so are yours!”

Silver Spoon could barely see either side but, she could suddenly feel the searing pain on her flank as well.

“Wait, what?! Ow… oh sweet celestia, this isn’t happening!”

Twist was smirking quite proudly enjoying the panicked screams of her victims. Today and only today… she was going to be the bully.

“How doeth it feel to be a blank flank again;” she said, “not very pleathant and amuthing to you now, ith it?”

“What did you do to us?!” Silver Spoon cried out.

“Nothing much;” Suddenly, she pulled out a small butcher knife that had some blood dried on its blade and placed it down on the table by Silver Spoon’s side. “I juth uthed thith knife here to carefully thlithe through your flethy tithue to cut off your cutiemarkth and then I threw them into that old inthinerator over there; no big deal. Now you won’t have any for the reth of your life; heh, heh, or what’th left of it anyway. Heh, I didn’t even know that my dad had an inthenerator.”

Tiara suddenly became enraged of what Twist had the nerve to do to them, “You ungrateful brat, I’ll kill you!”

“That’th funny,” said Twist as she flashed a sinister smile up at Tiara, “but I think that you’re confuthed. Two little fillieth are going to die in thith room today, and one of them ith not yourth truly.”

Silver Spoon didn’t like what she heard; in a deep, dark basement where they were, it was quite possible that she could do it before anypony could find them.

“And don’t even think about thcreaming out or anything, I clothe the shop for maintinenthe tho no pony will come and hear you; and my Aunt ith out on a date becauthe of me. Tho I have you two all to mythelf to do whatever I please.”

“She… sh-sh-she’s joking, right T-Tiara;” said Silver Spoon nervously, “Please tell me she joking! Why would she want to kill us like this!?”

Twist turned her glare back at Silver Spoon who was suddenly shaking in fear, “Don’t be tho dumb; you two have been a complete annoyanthe in thith town, and I… have had enough of it.”

Twist’s tone in her voice was changing slightly and she started to sound something of someone slowly losing it.

“You’re alwayth picking on my friendth becauth they don’t have their markth yet; you inthult them, bad-mouth them and treat them like trash. But what you did yesthterday was… UNFORGIVABLE! You thaid that I was too chicken to do anything against you; well thurprithe! I’m going to make you both thuffer dearly, and then… I’m going to kill you… and rid you both of your liveth. Heh, heh, doethn’t that thound like fun?”

Tiara realized that this was no longer the Twist that they knew; that she suddenly went into her own little distorted world. She didn’t care though; there was no way that Twist would even dare do such a thing to them. But then again, she did cut off the sides of their flanks.

Poor Silver Spoon was crying, yelling and struggling against her restraints trying her best to make an escape; even though it was no use, “No; I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die!”

“Ha, you’ll never get away with it, idiot!” shouted Tiara with a smart-aleck smile, “Everypony will obviously find out what you did; and when they do, our families are going to sue yours and you’ll have nothing left! Your parents will be living on the streets while you will be locked away in a dirty cell like the messed up freak you’ve obviously turned into! So you like have no choice but to release us now while you still have a life!”

Twist just straighten her glasses and rubbed into her ear not giving a damn what Diamond Tiara was threatening her with. There was no way she was going to let her have her way anymore.

“Are you quite done yet? Your botherthome ranting wath making my earth bleed.”

Avoiding getting Twist anymore psycho than she already was, Silver Spoon tried to kiss up to her, “Come on Twist, why are you doing this? Y-y-y-you’re not really going to k-kill us, are you?”

Twist was feeling quite irritated by her attempt to sounding so sweet, “Thpare me your innocent act, Silver Spoon. It’th true that you tried to be nith thometimeth, but thometimeth doesn’t cut it. You choth to alwayth be with Tiara and alwayth go with her motivth! So in the end, you’re no better than her, and yetherdayth actionth proves my theory 100 perthent.”

Silver wasn’t giving up yet; she continued to plea with fear ridden tears in her eyes, “No, No; th-th-th-that’s not true!”

Twist suddenly flipped her tail in front of Silver Spoon and then hopped down off the table; then she began to mess with something underneath, “It’th quite tragic really; you only have your tho-called friend to blame for turning you into thuch a mean, evil bitch.”

Silver Spoon was getting more scared knowing that Twist was underneath the table where she was binded down. What was she doing; and what was she preparing? But besides that, she couldn’t believe that Twist was calling her evil despite what she was about to do her and Tiara.

“E-e-e… evil?! Y-y-you’re the only one who’s being evil here! Pl-please… just let us go… please!”

Twist suddenly jumped back on top of the table and mashed her face up against Silver Spoon’s leering deep into her eyes and pouring more terror into her heart.

“And what… allow you and your girlfriend to continue to ruin more liveth with your harth wordth and thnotty behavior? I don’t think tho.”

“Gi… g-girlfreind;” shouted Tiara in an uproar, “How dare you; we’re nothing like that… ya freak!”

“I’ve thuddenly grown tired of thith converthation,” said Twist in a solemn manner as she hopped back down from the rustic table, “It’th time that I get thith over with.”

Silver Spoon was panicking more and more as time went on; she just wanted to go home and cuddle with her daddy and mommy who always give her things to calm her down. But she had a dreaded feeling that she wouldn’t get that chance.

“No, stop; please stop acting crazy! I-I-I-I’ll change for good this time, I-I swear!”

“Don’t worry, Silver Spoon,” scoffed Tiara, “don’t let that freak scare you! Sh-she’s just trying to psyche us out; I bet she doesn’t even have the guts to kill us.”

But they were both soon proven possibly wrong when Twist hopped back onto the table; but in her mouth she held a battery-powered circular saw. Silver Spoon knew she was done for now and there was nothing that she could do.

“Oh, I have the guth alright,” said Twist with a grim smile, “And pretty thoon…heh, you’re gonna loth yourth.”

Tiara’s eyes grew eyes with anger and fear for her friend, “You wouldn’t dare!”

“You know Tiara,” said Twist with a smirk, “I know how two are thuch really cloth friendth, right? But just how clothe are you? Will you not care…” then she glared sinisterly down at Silver Spoon, “… or will you thcream out your friend’th name ath you watch her thlowly thuffer in pure agony.”

Silver Spoon’s whole body was shaking in terror imagining of what exactly was going to happen to her, “What… wh-wh-what are you g-going to do to me?”

“That’th a good quethion, Thilver Thpoon;” Twist said sarcastically, “Are ya familiar with… amputation?”

Silver Spoon looked frighten but she had no idea what that was exactly. However, Diamond Tiara did and she was furiously swinging around trying to get loose from her chains that were suspending her in the air.

“What the… no!” she shouted out with tears in her eyes, “You wouldn’t dare; don’t you dare do that to her!”

“Or you’ll what, rattle your chainth at me? Oooh, I’m thooooo thcared.”

“What; I don’t get it,” said Silver Spoon as continued to panic, “What’s amputation?!”

“She’s going to cut your freakin’ limbs off!”

Now she finally got it; Silver Spoon was beginning to panic more franticly than ever now while tearing a lot, “What, noooo; I don’t want to lose my limbs!”

“Thank you tho much for ruining my fun,” said Twist to Tiara; but then she just slightly chuckled insanely –like and then held up the circular saw in front of her as she admired it’s beautiful sharp teeth, “Oh well, I’ll thill have thome fun while you watch me thlowly thlaughter your beth friend.”

“Why you…”

Diamond Tiara just wanted to get loose from her shackles and knock Twist out of commission, but the chains were just too tight and her forehooves wouldn’t budge; there was absolutely nothing she could do.

Twist walked over to one side of Silver Spoon and had a cynical glare on her face as she held up the saw over Silver Spoon’s right hind leg.

“Y-you really don’t want to do this, Twist;” said Silver Spoon as she tearing up intensely looking deep into Twist’s eyes, “You really don’t w-want to k-k-kill us.”

“On the contrary,” said Twist; and then she flipped the switch on the tool as it started to roar to life, “I really do.”

Twist then automatically slams the whirling blade into Silver’s hind leg and it was so mesmerizing to her as she was watching her victim’s blood fly out by the blade’s constant force. Silver Spoon released a great howl of pain from her vocals as she felt the vicious saw digging into her flesh and the feel of her bone being shattered apart. She kept having a fantasy in her head of someone hearing her screams and coming down here to save her from this lunatic, but her hopes were vanishing into thin air.

Once the saw completely severed Silver’s right hind leg, her screams continued as Twist immediately pushed the saw into her other hind leg. Twist wasn’t just enjoying the blood that was splattering everywhere and on her, but the actual sounds of the blade digging into Silver’s flesh.

“Stop; stop doing this!” shouted Tiara hysterically as she was sobbing constantly, “Cut it out right now!”

“That’th right, keep thcreaming for me,” said Twist grinning as she enjoyed hearing Tiara’s cries and Silver’s screams, “This is exactly what I wanted.”

The saw blade came to a halt after slicing through the second hind leg, and Twist placed gloves on her forehooves and then pulls out the two severed limbs from their constraints and pushed them off the side. Silver Spoon was just lying there on the table sobbing and panting from what Twist just did to her, and the leftover pain she felt was immense.

Twist smiled as she was admiring the blood that was running out of the amputated wounds, “You have thuch beautiful blood, Thilver Thpoon. Look at how clear it ith and how it thlowly flowth out of your body.”

Silver Spoon didn’t say anything; the searing pain kept her from doing so. Tiara however was feeling terrified and furious at the same time; and even though it was hopeless, she just kept on wiggling back and forth trying to get loose.

“You’re a horrible monster!” shouted Tiara.

Twist just looked up at her and made an amusing smile, “Well, I gueth it taketh one to know one.”

Suddenly, Silver Spoon found the strength to finally speak again as she still continued to plead, “Please… j-just… s-s-s-t-top… I beg of y-you…”

But Twist still wasn’t falling for it, “’Fraid not, becauthe I’m not finithed with you yet.”

She picked up the saw and carried it over to where her upper limbs were located. She placed her head right beside Silver’s and whispered in her ear, “You know what happenth next, right Thpoony?”

Silver’s eyes didn’t go too wide, but at the thought she was lightly shaking her head raipidly, “Oh please, oh please, oh celestia please don’t.”

But of course, Twist didn’t listen to her; Silver prepared for the additional incoming pain as Twist turned the circular saw on again. Twist made an insanely sounding giggle as she rammed the saw over the last two remaining limbs and more of Silver’s blood was sprayed onto her making her feel even more invigorated. Silver Spoon was in absolute pain screaming as loud as she could from what she felt; and all she wanted was to wake up from this horrible nightmare, but sadly it was no dream at all.

Pretty soon, Silver Spoon found herself lying on the table with four bloody stumps that used to be her hooves and legs. The only thing holding her in place now was the strong rope that was wrapped against the mid-section of her body.

After getting in a few more chuckles, Twist looked up at Diamond Tiara with a bloody stained face and smiled mischievously, “Check it out Tiara, now your friend ith blank and limbleth! How did ya like that; got ya with your own inthult! Oh man, I crack me up.”

Tiara wanted to say something horrible at her, but she couldn’t. She was sobbing too much from seeing the sight of her best friend getting her limbs cut off one by one in such a violent manner. Plus, her hooves were getting sore and tired from wiggling so much against the chains that were wrapped tightly around her forehooves.

“Y-y-you’re… you’re h-horrible… absolutely… h-h-h-horrible,” said Silver Spoon soflty with a little bit of coughs and gags in between.

“I’ll jutht take that ath a compliment,” Twist responded.

Once again, Twist hopped down feeling all giddy as she placed the tool away from where she gained it from. Suddenly, Silver Spoon could hear Twist chuckling maniacally under her breath; she knew Twist wasn’t done with her yet because she was still alive and breathing mostly.

“Wh-what are you do-oing now?” she sobbed in slight pain.

“Preparing your demithe, remember?”

“How can you like even call yourself a pony anymore?!” Tiara suddenly shouted with tears of anger, “You’re voluntarily slaughtering your own kind!”

“Correction, only you two; and besides, you two never really cared what me or my friends ever think of you, what’s the difference the other way around?”

Suddenly, she pushed back her hair to reveal a giant bandage on her forehead; the blood partially soaking into it disgusted both of the fillies so much they almost wanted to puke.

“You thee thith; thith wath cauthed by my conthtant frustration from the two of you! You two did thith to me, and it hurt like hell! Tho… in return I’m only giving you 10 timeth ath much pain that I felt and then end your liveth tho that you two can never crush another filly’th or colt’th dream ever again.”

Tiara had no words and Silver Spoon could do nothing but cry; she was in enough pain already as she is. If Twist was going to kill her why doesn’t she just get it over with? But Silver Spoon was about to get her wish as Twist smirked up at her from the ground.

“Oh Thpoony; I have a thurprithe for you.”

She pressed a button on the side of the rustic table that wasn’t visible to either of the victims and a deep thin groove on the table began to creakily open up under Silver Spoon and its path seemed to be under her vertical-wise. Then much to her horror, ahead in front of the constrained filly, a single saw blade came rising up out of the thin groove; and the trajectory was aimed right towards her crotch area.

“Oh HELL no!” yelled Silver Spoon in pure terror.

“Oh HELL yeth,” Twist responded in a slightly insane tone, “Bet you didn’t see thith coming, did you? It really ith hard to believe that thith old rusty thaw table thill workth at all; heh, how unfourtunate for you.”

Diamond Tiara knew what was going to happen to her friend and she just went into another sobbing fit; she couldn’t bear to see it, “Please stop, you ungrateful psycho! Don’t you dare do it!”

But her words fell on deaf ears as the blade was switched on and the vicious whirling blade began to head towards the filly’s trapped, limbless body. Twist hopped back on the table beside Silver Spoon with some of her coat still covered in the victim’s blood; she was still smiling and shaking with excitement as the blade came closer and closer.

“Thoooo… any latht wordth before we watch the thpinning thaw tear you apart?”

Silver Spoon couldn’t believe that she was about to die; there was so much she wanted to do in her life, but now it will never happen all because of a sweet filly gone twisted. She began tear up again while biting her lip, and then she gave Twist her last words.

“Tiara was right; you’re nothing but a total freak. I hope your family suffers from your actions and that you die and rot in an excruciating matter. This is what I think of you!”

She then held her head up and spat right on Twist’s muzzle. Twist’s psycho smile suddenly disappeared as she wiped the spittle off of her and slung it to the side. She glared down at Silver Spoon with no hint of feeling or remorse for her life in her expression.

“Yeah… juth ath I thought, you really don’t care at all. Gueth I made a good dethithion after all.”

Silver Spoon closed her eyes tight with excess tears still leaking from them as the blade was less than an inch away from her. Twist bent down into her ear and said in a careless tone…

“Have fun in pony hell.”

And with that, Silver Spoon started to scream in immense pain once again as the saw blade was digging into her fillyhood and continued on upwards to split open her body.

Tiara couldn’t take it, she screamed out for her victimized friend with tears of sorrow and strife, “SILVER SPOON!!! “

As the blade went in deeper cutting through Silver’s stomach area, her screams suddenly died down to low gurgles and excess spittle and blood was bubbling out of her mouth. As Twist just sat there, a psychotic smile slowly found its way back onto her face as she watched the blade viciously tear the limbless filly in half; more of her blood splattered onto Twist’s coat sending more vibrant chills down her spine. She could even see some of Silver’s organs being ripped to shreds and some pieces of them flying in the air; it was the most amazing spectacle Twist had ever seen.

Silver Spoon finally breathed her last breath and the blade sliced through her face and split her glasses apart in two and they fell onto the floor. Twist stopped the machine and all that was seen was the corpse of a filly body sliced in half with ripped organs showing in plain sight and the blood pouring from all sides. Tiara turned her head away grieving in pain for her friend, “Oh god…”

“Hmph, good riddanthe,” said Twist with a smirk, “I never liked her to begin with anyway.”

Pretty Soon, she looked up and saw Tiara continuously sobbing and she just couldn’t stop. One of her closest friends was just slaughtered in front of her, and she knew that she was next. Twist felt very happy and partially satisfied… but not fully, as she witness Tiara’s sorrowful display.

“Heh, look at her thobbing all pitiful-like;” she thought to herself, “Her heart mutht have been torn apart watching her beth friend die.” Then she picked up a steak knife in her mouth and continued to stare intensely at the depressed filly, “But not to worry; I’ll thoon relieve her… of her pain.”

Breaking Tiara

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were very close friends and always loved to hang out with each other. Plus they liked to pick on other foals that don’t have cutiemarks and crush their hopes of ever gaining one. Unfortunately for them, a filly in the background named Twist has had enough of them; especially after the uncalled prank they did against her certain friends, the Cutiemark Crusaders. She finally feels that Ponyville would be best off without them and plans to erase them both from existence.

Twist’s goal was now halfway completed; she successfully tortured and finally killed off Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara was forced to watch. She became devastated and totally heartbroken; Silver Spoon was her best friend in all of Equestria, and now she was dead; gone from this world… and she was next.

Twist went to a nearby pull line, and she started to use it to lower Diamond Tiara down to where her back hooves almost touched the ground and started to slowly approach her with a sinister smirk on her face. She truly had no regrets of killing Silver Spoon nor did she care about Tiara’s emotional feelings as the trapped filly was constantly shedding tears in sorrow; and Twist was enjoying every bit of it.

“Aww; what’th the matter, Tiara; are you dreadfully upthet that Thilver Thpoon ith gone? Upthet that you loth your beth friend and you won’t be able to do your little routine? ‘Bump, bump, sugar lump, rump!’ Heh, man that geth more irritating every time I hear it.”

Tiara lifted her head up to glare at Twist with her eyes still leaking. She thought that she hated Twist before; but now she was despising her even more than ever now.

“Don’t be tho thurprithed,” said Twist as she came close into Tiara’s face, “you two athked for thith. Your obnoxiouth attitude got on everpony’th nerveth and it theemth that your family doethn’t theem to care about it thince they’re obviouthly failing to do thomething about it; but no more. Now I’m about end all thith nonthenth mythelf by ending your pathetic life, just like I did to your unfortunate little follower, Thilver Thp…”

Diamond Tiara had enough; in risking making the psychotic little filly angrier, she released her all-out hatred against Twist all while still struggling against her restraints.

“SHUT UP!!! For the love of celestia… just shut up you psychotic, four-eyed freak!”

Twist just looked at her kinda solemnly with an arched eye brow, “Excuthe me?”

“You have no idea what you’ve done; you don’t know who you’re dealing with!”

Her hatred against Twist just grew bigger than it ever was now; she wanted to make her pay for her crime and she wanted it to do it herself.

“Silver Spoon and I come from powerful rich families that can squash your little family’s business flat! You killed Silver Spoon, my best friend, and you think that you’re going to get away with it?! They’ll have you locked in an asylum in no time and your parents will hate you and blame you for their sudden misfortune! When I get out of here, I’m going to take you down myself!”

As Tiara went on with her ranting, Twist was just calmly walking towards the enraged filly while not saying a word.

“I’ll slam the giant hammer of justice on your sorry flank and make you pay! Ponyville is in no need of a sick, twisted, psychotic, deranged loser freak like…”

But once Twist got to Tiara, she gave her a strong punch against the right side of her cheek that silenced her enraged ranting. And then she punched her again against on the left side, but this time her cheek got bruised as a couple drops of blood and a tooth flew out of her mouth as a result. Tiara whimpered as she held her head down in slight pain with her cheeks slightly bruised and some blood dripping from her lip; but then Twist turned around and gave Tiara a hind leg buck right into chest. Her eyes went wide as she squeaked in pain, and the impact caused her to puke up some blood. Afterwards when Tiara finished her puking moment, Twist jacked her up from her coat around her neck and stared into her beaten face.

“Do you really think I care about any of your thupid threatening crap? What good uthe are your threath when you’re going to die anyway? Ponyville ith better off without the two of you.”

Twist then released her and walked behind her wearing an amusing smile.

“Oh yeah, and I almost forgot.”

She took a bucket of icy cold water that she had prepared and poured the entire bucket over Tiara. The captured filly’s body jolted with shock and she gave off a high pitched scream that no pony still couldn’t hear. She hung there shaking and feeling like her beauty was disappearing; but then Twist held the bucket over her head and let it drop straight down on top.

“Ow,” Tiara sobbed, “wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what in the h-h-h-heck was th-that f-f-for?!”

“Juth a little revenge requeth from Thcootaloo; she wanted what you and your friend did to her happen to you; I wath happy to fulfill her wish.”

“What, that Pegasus knows about this?!” shouted Tiara.

“Nope, only me; no pony needs to know about this… no pony.”

Now Tiara was sore, tired, cold and soaking wet; this day was possibly her last day in life as it was for her friend. But Tiara suddenly looked down and noticed that the rope around her hind hooves was slightly becoming loose; it was due to the water making her coat slippery. Fortunately for her, Twist didn’t notice.

“Now… let’th get thomething out of the way, okay?” said Twist as she was pacing back and forth in front of her captive giving her an evil-like glare, “I dethpithe you Diamond Tiara, I hated you and your friend with every thingle thell in my body; but I hate you mosth of all.”

The tone in Twist voice was changing again sounding rather disturbing in her speech as she was getting lost in her own psychotic world.

“*sigh* I had fun getting rid of Thilver Thpoon… and theeing her blood thpill. But now… heh, I’m going to enjoy getting rid of you. But firtht, I’m gonna break you; break you… hard.”

Tiara was panting and gasping from Twist’s actions earlier, but she gave Twist a little smirk while the rope around her hind hooves was getting looser.

“I-I-I… like to s-see you tr-try.”

Twist was quite surprised seeing Tiara being so brave in her current situation; she thought it was actually quite cute. She walk right up to her and looked at her amusingly.

“Oh do you now? What exactly do you wish to thee?”

Suddenly, the rope finally came loose and at the last minute, Tiara swung her wet legs forward and wrapped them around Twist’s neck while she was off guard. Twist eyes went wide feeling Tiara’s wet coat as she glared at Tiara; and Tiara answered Twist’s question, “THIS!”

With a swift movement, Tiara swung her legs and threw Twist to the side as she tumbled against the ground. As Twist groaned and was getting up, Tiara quickly pulled the chains off her and stood on all four of her hooves. After shaking herself dry she glared over at Twist with a stuck-up smirk.

“You just signed your death warrant, freak!”

She then started to make a beeline towards the exit door despite her injuries. This was bad for Twist; if Tiara got away everypony would know about this incident. Plus, Tiara’s injuries would be a dead giveaway and her plans would be ruined. Twist was not about to let that happen.

“Ugh… oh no you don’t!”

Twist suddenly got up and grabbed a hold of the chain that once held Tiara in the air in her mouth. She got a good grip and swung the chain’s long length forward, and it actually made it mark as it successfully wrapped around Tiara’s hind legs. Tiara yelped as she froze in her tracks and fell flat on her face. She looked behind her and saw her hind legs binded again.

Her eyes were filled with fear as she saw Twist looking at her with a malice stare and grinning in a crazed manner, “I’m afraid that you’re not going anywhere… idiot.”

Tiara panicked and was trying to grab on to ground as Twist was pulling her back closer and closer to her. With tears in her eyes and sweat dripping down, she feared that Twist was going to do something dreadful to her since she tried to escape.

“N-n-no way; how on Equestria did you do that?!” she shouted in fear.

“Juth a little thomething that Apple Bloom taught me for fun,” said Twist with a mischievous smile, “Not too bad if I do thay tho mythelf; she thayth I’m a natural.”

No matter how hard Tiara tried, she couldn’t escape from Twist’s grasp; and the more she tried to resist, the more ecstatic Twist got. Once she was close enough, Twist placed her hoof on top of Tiara as she was feeling a certain spot on her back.

“Ah, there we go,” Twist said with a devilish grin as she pressed against Tiara harder, “thith thould hold you well.”

She held up the steak knife that she had in her other hoof over Tiara’s body, and even though Tiara couldn’t see, she became suddenly frantic feeling that something bad was about to happen.

“What’s going on…” she wondered.

But before she knew it, she suddenly felt Twist strike the steak knife straight into her back and into the wooden floor below. Tiara shrieked in terrorizing pain from being impaled so suddenly and Twist could see some blood was leaking out from under her victim. Twist then used a stone to hammer the knife deeper into the ground thus deeper through Tiara’s body.

Tiara just laid there in agony; she didn’t dare to move because of the long blade that was pinning her to the ground; that was exactly what Twist was counting on.

“Y-y-y-y-you’ve gone absol-lutely insane!” Tiara sobbed dreadfully, “You’re a complete loser but… this isn’t like you! What happened to the lame, boring, sugary sweet nerd that never dares to hurt anypony; the one who is friends with those crusaders; the one who would obviously never do anything as crazy as this!?”

Tiara may have been crying from her constant pain and may have wanted Twist to be as she once was, but Twist knew that it didn’t change a thing about the situation. She gathered a skinny rope and got behind Tiara as she started to tie up her forehooves behind her back.

“I’m afraid that the Twith you know ith not prethent at thith moment. The Twith who was afraid to protect her friendth and do thomething about you and the one who wath your friend; that Twith ith taking a backtheat for now.”

After tying Tiara’s forehooves, she got in front of Tiara’s terrified face and leered at her to make sure she got the message.

“For now… thith Twith is gonna make thure that you never bother anypony ever again.”

As Twist went off to the side, Tiara slowly tilted her head in Twist’s direction to see what she was doing now. But then she realized that Twist was retrieving a familiar item; it was the electrical hand saw that Twist used to amputate her now dead friend. She watched in mortal terror as Twist trotted behind her with the tool completely scared of what she was going to use it for.

“W-w-wait… wh-what are doing!?”

Twist suddenly smiled cynically as she held down and slightly rubbed Tiara’s plot with her hoof responding, “Making thure that you don’t try to ethcape again.”

“N-n-no, DON’T YOU DARE!!!”

Her demand was denied as Twist switched the saw on; and then she proceeded to run it through Tiara’s hind legs. Tiara finally understood how her friend felt when she had her hooves and legs sliced off; it was unbearably painful. She couldn’t move around much because of her position, but that didn’t stop her from screaming out loud from her agony.

Twist was enjoying herself; smiling brightly as she watched the saw blade perfectly slice into Tiara’s flesh and the blood and tissue that was splattering around them and onto her. This along with Tiara’s screams was pure music to her ears.

Once she was done, she chuckled to herself as she pranced off to place the saw away again to where it was. Tiara just laid there sobbing constantly just letting her painful emotions out.

“I… I-I-I-I hate you; I h-hate you s-s-so much! Y-you’re so m-messed up!”

“Yeah, well the feeling ith mutual,” Twist responded in an uncaring manner.

Twist came back over to Tiara smirking again and she held her hoof down on the her victim as she used her mouth to slowly wiggle and pull the steak knife away from the floor and out of Tiara’s punctured body. The movement caused Tiara to whimper in discomfort, but it was a slight relief to her that it was out. However, it’s not that she could go anywhere now; with her forehooves tied behind her back and her hind legs sliced off, she had no means to escape again. There was no hope for her now; she was going to suffer the same fate as Silver Spoon.

“You know Tiara,” said Twist in a normal cheery manner, “the only reason that you’re not dead from your impalement ith becauthe I made thure not to hit your heart, thomach, or any other eternal organth that you might need to thay alive. Fathcinating, ithn’t?”

Tiara couldn’t understand how Twist could sound so sweet and cheery one minute, and then psychotic and creepy the next. While trying to hang on to her life she was trying to figure out Twist’s plan.

“Y-y-you know… I don’t g-get it; even if y-you kill m-m-me now, what makes you think that you’re g-g-going to get away with it?”

Suddenly, the tone in Twist’s voice changed as she leered back over at Tiara, “I’m a nerd, remember? Once thith ith all over, nopony is going to find out the truth; I’ll thee perthonally to that.”

“Oh don’t be so full of yourself!” Tiara shouted with tears in her eyes, “Somepony is going to find out sooner or later! You’re stupid to even think such a thing!”

Suddenly, Twist kicked Tiara on the side of her flank where some of the skin was sliced off and it caused a great surge of pain to shoot throughout her body. She let out a blood-curdling scream again feeling the painful sensation and more tears flowed out of her eyes mixing into the released blood in around her.

Twist then slammed her hoof down against Tiara’s head pressing it against the floor; she was huffing and puffing with aggravated anger; feeling the need to end her right there and now.

“Call me thupid one more time… and I’ll drive this knife right through your thkull.”

“Wh-wh-why n-not, you’re going to kill me anyway. So go ahead… do it.”

Tiara closed her eyes expecting Twist to do just that; but for some reason, she didn’t do it.

“Oh I’m going to kill you alright,” said Twist sounding a bit deranged as she stepped off of Tiara, “but not juth yet; I want to prolong your thuffering.”

Tiara realized what Twist was doing; she knew that she was in great, unbearable pain with the punctured wound in her body, her sore, swelled up face and her wide open wound where her hind legs used to be; so Twist was going to just let her lay there for a few so she can suffer from her pain that was slowly killing her.

“Just do it already!” she demanded, “I can’t bare this anymore; just kill me now!”

“You know…” said Twist suddenly with a mischievous smile, “that path that wath blocked by that tree and other debris; I’m the one who did that.”

“Wh-wh-wh-what!” said Tiara with wide eyes.

“Altho, I knew all about the little thhortcut to your houthe and the alternate route. That’th how I wath able to capture you and Thilver Thpoon tho easily. However, how I knew all of that ith none of your buthineth.”

Tiara growled underneath her breath despite her pain, “Wh-why… y-y-you…”

“And the beth thing about thith plan… ith that nopony ith going to thuthpect me of anything. I’m too nithe, too thweet and gentle, and too innothent to ever do thuch a thing. And tho what if your parentth cry and mith you; oh well, it’th their fault for thpoiling you tho badly. It therveth them right ath long ath I’m contherned.”

Tiara was in so much pain that she could do was just lay there on the ground and cry. She wanted to do something for having her parents insulted, but at that moment she didn’t care; all she wanted was to be released of her pain.

Suddenly, Tiara felt Twist’s forearm go around her neck and then she was slowly pulled up against Twist who was vibrating with pure excitement. She was gasping and sobbing as more blood was leaving her and she was feeling quite dizzy and lightheaded; like she was slowly slipping away from this world.

“There was one thing I alwayth liked about you and Thilver Thpoon though,” said Twist as she was staring into Tiara’s eyes from her shoulders, “You two were alwayth tho gullible and naïve; that alone alwayth amuthed me when thothe athpectth of you two backfired. The rethulth are alwayth funny and make me laugh inthide; I’ll mith that about you two moth of all.”

Twist then looked up on top of Tiara’s head and noticed her little tiara crown; and it was very beautiful up close. She helped herself and took it off of Tiara’s head and placed it on hers as she smiled proudly.

“M-m-my… *cough* m-my cr-r-rown; g-g-give me back my crown,” Tiara said in a dry, horse-like voice (excuse the pun); she was getting weaker and weaker by the minute.

“I don’t think tho,” said Twist, “I think it lookth way better on me.”

Suddenly, Tiara started to lightly whimper again as she felt the tip of the knife Twist had being trailed up and down her back. Her body was shaking just waiting for her death to be done. Twist was smiling a bit crazed-like enjoying the sight of Tiara’s fear.

“Bethideth, you’re not going to need thith for where you’re going.”

She then started to push the knife against Tiara’s body and it was slowly puncturing the skin. Once it was in enough, Twist suddenly thrust the rest of the knife all the way in so that the head of the blade was poking out from her belly. This quick action caused Tiara to start convulsing and she strongly threw up in front of herself; it was also mixed in with some internal blood as well. Twist was a little grossed out by it but she didn’t mind it much.
Tiara was still hanging to her life…barely; but it seemed that she would give out any minute now. She was so far gone that all she could do was hang her head down with half-lidded eyes as she was choking and wheezing from the damage done to her. Twist pulled the knife back out and the movement cause Tiara to hurl again; but that time Twist was just laughing at how pitiful she looked.

“Aw, poor you, but look on the bright thide; onthe you die, you’ll be able to thee your dear friend again. You two can then laugh, giggle, converthate, and be obnoxiouth all you want then. Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll make thure to be there for your parenth when they mourn for your death.”

Tiara still couldn’t respond, but if she could she would do anything right now for Twist to regret her words.

“Tho… thill think I’m a looother?” asked Twist as she held Tiara’s head closer; but Tiara didn’t answer, “Hey, I juth athked you a quethion you ungrateful bitch!”

Twist’s sanity was on edge and didn’t care if Tiara was too damaged to answer, but she soon realized that it didn’t really matter in the end.

“Oh well… who careth anyway; thay hi to Thilver Thpoon for me.”

While wearing an expression of pure insanity, Twist held onto Tiara’s neck as she jammed the steak knife into her again, but this time right through her heart’s location. Blood squirted out of Tiara’s back and onto the floor and the tormented filly convulsed once more before becoming permanently still. Twist knew that Tiara was finally dead, but she decided to take out some more of her frustration on her body by slamming it down on the ground and she started to repeatedly stab into Tiara’s corpse wildly. She never knew that doing this sorta of thing made her feel better.

Once she was done, she was just sitting there panting and catching her breath while looking upon the mutilated dead body of Tiara. She looked at it, and then looked back at the severed body of Silver Spoon, and then suddenly, she felt a huge feeling of relief being lifted from burdens. She realized that she did it; she had finally rid herself, and her friends and all of Ponyville from those two. She almost feared of what would happen if those two fillies grew up to be mares and ran this town under their rule.

“Oh man, that felt great!” she shouted in happiness, “I’ve never felt tho proud of mythelf!”

She was glad that it all seemed to go well and that she never has to worry about those stuck-up rich fillies anymore. But… now what; she had 2 dead fillies in her parent’s basement and their blood all over the place; not to mention that she was covered in it as well. It was rather obvious to Twist that it would be a bit of a problem if someone saw her like this and then realized the disappearance of her victims. How could she do this without Diamond Tiara’s threat becoming true?

But… just then, Twist had an idea; a brilliant idea. Twist had a brilliant, wonderful, horrible idea; one that would take care of all her problems. Twist just sat there chuckling to herself in a menacing tone while rubbing her hooves together thinking of her sick, Twisted idea. Everything was going to be alright for her after all.

“Heh, heh; oh Twith, you really are a geniuth.”

Author's Note

Will Twist get away with it? See how it ends soon.

What a Twist!

One might think that a filly like Twist couldn’t do what she did to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon and can get away with it so easily. But fortunately for Twist, she was no ordinary filly; and because of her warped mind, she thought of a perfect strategy to fool every pony… even though deep down she didn’t want to; but she knew that no pony there would understand her reasons.

The key to her plan was the gloves on her hooves; she has been wearing them ever since she severed Silver Spoon’s hind legs to make sure none of her hoof prints didn’t get on anything. Twist had thought of that from the very beginning and was rather proud of herself of thinking up of something so clever.

After taking a few short minutes to rinse the blood stains in her coat, Twist wasted no time to cover her actions. She placed the gloves back on her hooves before she forgot and placed the bodies sealed into a bag into a deep corner in the dark basement, and then she smirked as she grabbed another little bag in her mouth that contained the tiara and broken pair of glasses from the victims.

She headed out from her house as soon as the coast was clear and realized that the sun was already setting. Guess time flies when you’re having a good time killing somepony. She was careful not to let any residents see her as she headed towards the section of the dark forest where she successfully ambushed her victims. But when she got there…

“*Gasp* Uh-oh.”

She quickly hid behind a nearby bush after seeing some ponies nearby the area where she blocked the path of the two rich fillies. She saw some police ponies, the mayor, and Tiara’s father… Filthy Rich. They were probably aware of Tiara and Silver Spoon’s appearance; no surprise there. But she noticed that no pony was technically in the forest yet, so when the time was right… she made a break for it and was successfully undetected.

At a certain point, she jumped into the tree tops being careful not to make too much noise; and luckily for her there were no Pegasus above her… at least not yet. Once she was finally over the clearing spot nearby the trail that her victims took, Twist carefully opened up the bag and let its containments fall out onto the ground. When they did, the impact caused some of the blood on theme to splatter out a bit… neat. After that, Twist immediately took off before anypony nearby could sense her.

Once she was back at her house, she noticed that her Aunt pretzel and her date were back and were about to go inside with the key that Pretzel had; Twist almost forgot about that. Twist went the back way and went into the basement to dispose of her gloves. She tossed them into the incinerator so no pony could find them. Although, she was going to miss them; they were a beautiful shade of yellow.

She soon went up back into the main part of the house and met her Aunt and her date with a cheerful smile.

“Hey Aunt Prethel, how wath your date?”

She and Rocky seemed very happy, meaning that the date went very well… and Twist was very glad; she knew that they would love each other. Her Aunt and her friend told her how it went and what they did that afternoon. Things might get better for them down the road; and who knows… Twist might be calling her stallion friend Uncle soon.

“Um, Twist,” said Pretzel suddenly, “You seem to have a little something on your tail there; looks kinda reddish.”

Twist suddenly jumped and quickly hid her tail, “O-o-o-oh, d-don’t worry about that, it’th juth… it’s peppermint; I athidentally got thome on me… g-gueth I mithed a thpot, heh.”

“Well not to worry,” said Rocky, Pretzel’s date, “we all make messes; why don’t you go wash off, I’m sure you’ve done plenty for today.”

“Um… th-thure, I’ll go do that right now!”

She rushed upstairs to wash up thinking to herself of how close that was; well maybe it wasn’t that bad, but you can’t be too careful… especially when covering a murder.

“Did Twist seem to act a bit funny to you just now?” asked Rocky to Pretzel.

“Maybe so,” Pretzel chuckled, “but you should know that she can be like that sometimes, acting weird and being a bit clumsy; I think she got it from my Mother… and me!”

Rocky chuckeld a bit as well, “Gee, I never would’ve noticed.”

As the evening went by and Rocky went back into Town, Twist made sure her Aunt was not suspecting anything as she headed back down towards the basement to finish up business. With a slight crazed look in her eyes, she trotted over to the bag that contained her victim’s bodies and started to drag it towards the incinerator. Once she tosses it in then all would be just fine; Twist would finally be able to calm down, and be relaxed. But just when she was about to toss them in there, something came across her mind that brought a slight smile to her face. It was sick, messed up and totally… twisted. What was she thinking?

Late morning the next day inside the CMC clubhouse…

“Thank you guyth tho much for letting me hang out you;” said Twist, “I know I already thaid I would today, but theriouthly… I’m very thankful.”

“Not a problem Twist,” Apple Bloom responded, “you’re a really good friend to have. And besides, we’re all just glad that you’re doing better from yesterday and that you’ve finally calmed down from your recent anger outburst.”

“Yeah, that’th all behind me now,” said Twist with a calm, serene smile, “I finally feel that I can relax without any care in the world.”

“By the way Twist,” said Scootaloo, “did you hear what happened yesterday?”

“Huh, what happened?”

“It’s about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon; they were reported yesterday to be missing.”

Twist arched her eyebrow becoming curious of what they heard, “Really, what happened to them?”

“Filthy Rich got together with some police ponies and the Mayor and some others to form search parties to find them, but they weren’t successful. They’re quite certain that they were taken.”

“That is… until they found something horrible,” Sweetie Belle whimpered.

Twist just sat there hiding a smirk within her expression, “What did they find?”

“It’s quite strange, but somepony found the reminisces of the two’s hoofprints going into a small patch of a dark forest. It eventually led to a clearing spot where they found… a tiara and a broken pair of glasses… c-c-covered in blood.”

“Yeah, and aside from that, they couldn’t find any clue around there,” said Scootaloo, “and the dna, whatever that means, from the blood was definitely those two. They found some rustled leaves and some scuffle marks on the ground, but they couldn’t find anything else that could be related to a pony. Being in a dark part of the forest; to them it seems that they were most likely lunch… or maybe dinner, I don’t know.”

Twist felt very happy and relieved inside; that meant that her brilliant plan worked. She couldn’t believe that she was going to get away with it, that Diamond Tiara had eaten her words… not that she could now. However, she did her best not to let her excited feelings show.

“Oh wow, how terrible.”

“Because of this happening,” said Apple Bloom sadly, “they took the necessary precautions to place warning and danger signs around there so no pony would go in there again unattended; it was quite unfortunate for those two. I know that they were both complete jerks and didn’t deserve friends for their attitudes, but not even they deserve a horrible death like that.”

“I… I-I-I completely agree,” sobbed Sweetie Belle, “I’m actually going to miss them.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” said Scootaloo, “after all I just wanted to give them wet fur like they did to us, not have them brutally killed… but I guess fate really has punished those two for their crimes.”

Twist didn’t get it; those two bully fillies were finally gone, but her friends seemed sad because of it. She wasn’t mad at them, just confused that they now felt that way about them now that they’re dead. But it didn’t matter to her; all she cared about was her friends being finally free of the bully duo. However, she just went along with their conversation.

“Well… maybe if their parenth hadn’t raithed them up to be tho thpoiled and mean thith wouldn’t have happened in the first plathe. But… maybe I’ll go and give my thupport to their parentth to thow that I… c-c-care about th-them.”

“Are you alright Twist?” asked Apple Bloom.

“Yeah, I am; but come on guyth, cheer up! I have thomething that can lift our thpiritth up a little!”

She suddenly took a bag she had and pulled out a little box of good ol’ fashioned homemade peppermint sticks; she presented them with a cheerful smile, “I made them mythelf juth last night!”

“Wow Twist, they do look good,” said Apple Bloom.

All of their eyes were fixated on Twist’s sticks; they did feel like they needed something sweet to fill their guilt.

“Tho go ahead, try one!”

They all took a couple and started to taste the flavor on them. But just then, all of their eyes went wide and they were in a state of shock.

“Thoooo,” said Twist in a sly tone, “what do ya think?”

“It’s… it’s definitely different; it’s peppermint, but there’s something unique about them,” said Apple Bloom with a smile on her face, “You definitely outdid yourself, Twist!”

“Oh thuckth, it’s no big deal.”

“These are definitely the best ones you’ve ever made,” said Scootaloo, “they taste awesome! Did you do something special with them?”

“Well… I did do a little thomething to them, but I’m afraid that it’th a thecret.”

“Aw, come on,” said Sweetie Belle, “can’t you at least tell us?”

“Thorry, I can’t even tell you guyth; becauthe if I did, then I’m afraid that I would have to kill ya.”

“WHAT!!??” all three crusaders shouted.

Twist just started to laugh, “Oh come on guyth I was juth kidding! But theriouthly, I don’t want to give out any of my thecreth to anypony; you underthand right?”

They all nodded and agreed; maybe Twist did have a good reason for keeping it a secret. But Twist’s real secret was how she tricked her crusader friends in sharing her revenge with her; and it all lies within the peppermint sticks.

Twist loved her friends and her family, but it seems that not even Twist could let some of Tiara and Silver Spoon's essence go to waste.

Did the case stay closed? Did Twist get away with her murder forever? Will she ever be found out by anypony? And if she was, how would she act on it? No one really knows for sure, but one thing is certain… never pick on Twist’s friends; she will end you, and she'll do it while wearing a gleeful smile.
