TWISTed Revenge

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.
