We have all heard of the tale of the little yellow devil. She was a murderous one. One look at you and you were her next victim on her checklist. Oh, you don’t know who I’m talking about? Sure you do. She’s everyone’s favorite cute little pony until you really know her.
Oh come on. You know her.
Ugh.. Her name... Fluttershy. Aka, Little Yellow Devil.
“Princess! Another pony is dead!” Twilight came running in the Princesses chambers, tears flowing out of her eyes.
“Which pony?” Celestia looked shocked, but tried to stay as calm as she always was.
“D-Derpy H-Hooves... Princess, what are we going to do? This is the third pony that has been murdered. Do you have any idea of who’s doing all of this?”
“I don’t...”
Celestia called for her royal guards to do a complete search of Canterlot and Ponyville to see if there were any clues to who the murderer was.
Twilight got an idea while Celestia was giving the guards orders and ran out of Canterlot to Ponyville to talk with Rainbow Dash about possibly helping. As she was running through Ponyville, she ran into Fluttershy by accident, knocking everything out of Fluttershys saddle bags.
“Ooof!” Twilight hit the ground as well as Fluttershy.
“Oh I-I’m sorry, Twilight. I-I didn’t see where I was going.”
“Oh no no no. It was your fault at all, Fluttershy. I was running too fast to go find Rainbow Dash, I should have slowed down. Here, let me help you with your things.”
As Twilight used her magic to pick up something shiny that Fluttershy had dropped, Fluttershy stopped her immediately.
“NO. I uh mean, that’s okay Twilight. You go on ahead and find Rainbow Dash before she goes back up to Cloudsdale. I’ve g-got everything under control.” Fluttershy flashed a reassuring smile.
“Well.. Okay Fluttershy. If you’re okay with that?” Twilight said, confused by Fluttershys actions.
“Y-yes, Twilight. I am most certainly okay with it. You go on ahead. I’ll pick up my stuff and be on my way.”
Twilight trotted off to find Rainbow Dash, but little did she know, she was next...
About twenty minutes of going all around Ponyville searching for Rainbow Dash, she finally found her, being lazy on the clouds.
“RAINBOW DASH!” Twilight yelled, almost loud enough for Granny Smith to wake up.
Rainbow Dash jumped up from her cloud and looked down at the purple pony.
“Oh, hey Twilight. I was resting up there.”
“Yeah I could see that.” Said Twilight. “I need your help. There has been three ponies murdered this week. First was Lyra Heartstrings, second was Octavia, and now Derpy Hooves was recently found, slaughtered, next to a half eaten muffin.”
The blue pony’s eyes teared up a bit when she heard that her best friend had gotten murdered. She tensed up, flew down to Twilight, and looker her in the eyes.
“What job do you have for me?” She said, with an angry tone.
“Fly around as much as you can and see if you see anything suspicious.”
“You got it, Twilight.”
Rainbow Dash flew off, leaving a rainbow trail. Twilight trotted to her home to read through books about murderous ponies in the past. Little did either of them know, Fluttershy had heard the whole conversation.
Rainbow Dash was next.
The blue pony flew around day after day, looking all over Ponyville for anything suspicious. Nothing ever happened. She had almost given up twice, but the thought of Derpy being dead was what kept her going.
After five days of looking around, she spotted Fluttershy on the ground trying to get Angel to come back home for supper.
Rainbow Dash flew down and observed the problem, then flew over to talk to Fluttershy.
“You need any help Fluttershy?”
“O-oh no. Rainbow Dash. I have it all under control.” Fluttershy said, with a reassuring smile. “Come back here Angel, your supper is ready. You haven’t eaten all day.”
Rainbow Dash looked over at Angel, who was about twenty yards away. Then she looked back at the yellow pony.
“You go on home and make sure none of your other animals get loose. I’ll get Angel for you, and bring her back home in twenty seconds flat.”
“Will you?” Fluttershy looked up at the blue pegasi.
Rainbow Dash nodded. “Sure, it’s the least I could do since you helped me pick out my own pet.”
“T-Thank you!” Fluttershy squeed and went back to her cottage.
Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could, grabbed Angel, who was pouting and kicking, and took Angel back to the yellow ponies cottage.
Once there, she knocked on the door. Still holding onto Angel, who had stopped kicking two minutes ago and just accepted having supper.
Fluttershy opened the door, and squeed once she saw that Angel was back.
“Thank you so much, Rainbow Dash. Here, how about you come in for a bit for helping me out. I’ll make you supper.” Fluttershy insisted.
“Well, I promised...”
“It won’t be that long, just a few minutes? If you don’t mind that is, I’m not making you.. I understand...”
“Well... Okay. Sure.” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy both smiled.
Fluttershy opened her cottage door for Rainbow Dash to come in, but the door was not open for anypony to come back out.
The next morning, Twilight trotted into Ponyville. Looking up at the sky, she had noticed that Rainbow Dash wasn’t keeping guard like she was supposed to be doing.
“Where’s Rainbow Dash?” Twilight questioned to herself.
Trotting for about ten feet, she had noticed a red puddle on the ground. Sniffing it, her head came back up. She knew that rich smell. Blood. But where had it came from?
She looked all around her surroundings, then looked up at a red cloud.
“Clouds aren’t supposed to be red?”
She back up a bit to see a rainbow maned, blue pegasi’s head with rosy eyes staring back at her. Blood coming from where the head had been cut off. Right next to it, on another red cloud was the rest of the body.
Rainbow Dash was gone.
“R-Rainbow.... D-Dash... N-N-No....” Twilight backed away slowly, turned around to run to Canterlot as fast as she could, but got hit in the head by something hard.
Twilight awoke in a room she had never been in before. The window was covered up by something that was wet, from hearing the sounds of dripping. Adjusting her eyesight more, she had noticed that what was covering the window was grey skin, with bubbles at the corner of it.
Twilight tried screaming, realizing it was Derpys skin, but her snout had been tied. Next to the window was a lamp, with a grey lamp shade and a black mane. The eyes had been cut out and the mouth open for a desk lamp. She tried getting up to run after seeing this, but noticed that she was tied by something tight. Looking behind her, she noticed that she was tied by something green.
“Do you like being held by Lyras skin that is bolted down to my wall?”
Twilight was being held against a wall by Lyra Heartstrings skin. The purple pony tried squirming away. She tried using her magic, but no use. Her magic was dead. Twilight couldn’t run and couldn’t scream for help.
“I injected you with a special medication that I stole from Zecora. Oh, and if you’re wondering...”
A yellow pegasi slowly flew out of the shadows so the purple unicorn could see who she was talking with.
“The medication will wear off, but first, let’s get you a bath. You are very dirty, Twilight.”
Fluttershy grabbed for a bottle that was filled with a greenish yellow liquid. The bottle was labeled “Acid Wash”. Twilights eyes widened. She tried squirming some more, but it was no use. Fluttershy got close to Twilight, removed the strings to untie her snout, and sprayed her eyes and the inside of her mouth with the hell burning acid.
Twilight tried screaming for her final time, but was muffled with coughs. Her eyes were watering and melting away. Her tongue was gone.
Fluttershy sprayed Twilight more with the acid wash in the mouth, before putting it down.
Even though Twilight was blind and could talk nor scream, she heard trotting leaving the room and then coming back. She heard a loud noise of something being sharpened. The noise lasted for about a minute or so before it ended.
The last thing Twilight heard was Fluttershy saying “Arrividerci.” before hearing her own skin being slowly, and painfully ripped by the cutting tool.
“Celestia! I-I have some bad news, P-Princess.”
Celestia looked down at the crying yellow pegasi.
“What is it? What’s wrong?” Celestia pulled the pegasi towards her, holding her as if she was her own daughter.
“T-Twilight a-and Rainbow D-Dash... They’re... Dead...” The pegasi cried her eyes out.
“It’s alright, Fluttershy. Celestia is here. And as long as she’s Princess, her and her guards will find out who’s behind all of these murders.”
Fluttershy nodded, wiping her tears away, and looking back at the huge doors.
Outside the Princesses great doors, the two guards were no longer standing their posts. They were both on the ground, their skin slowly melting away...
Author's Note
If this story is too scary, here. HAVE A MUFFIN!
Murderous acts were happening more and more in Ponyville. Princess Celestia was becoming worried.
Since that tragic day of her most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, being murdered, Celestia didn’t know what to do.
Five ponies were dead, along with two of Celestias royal guards. It was time to call on Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and the Royal Guards to do a full search of Ponyville.
Celestias job was to protect the remaining mane six, which was only Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Along with Spike.
“Celestia! I-I have bad news, P-Princess.”
Celestia looked down at the crying yellow pegasi.
“What is it? What’s wrong?” Celestia pulled the pegasi towards her, holding her as if she was her own daughter.
“T-Twilight a-and Rainbow D-Dash... They’re... Dead...” The pegasi cried her eyes out.
It’s alright, Fluttershy. Celestia is here. And as long as she’s Princess, her and her guards will find out who’s behind all of these murders.”
Fluttershy nodded, wiping her tears away, and looking back at the huge doors.
Outside the Princesses great doors, the two guards were no longer standing their post. They were both on the ground, their skin slowly melting away...
Celestia looked down at the crying yellow pegasi and said to her,
“You and your friends may stay here until the murder is caught. So no more of the Elements of Harmony are harmed.”
“I-I possibly couldn’t intrude, Princess. I mean, thank you for your kind offer. But I would be too m-much in the way.”
“It is my duty to keep you in safe hooves, Fluttershy. It’ll be alright. You and your friends, including Spike, will be staying in the castle until further notice or until I can find a safer location.”
“T-Thank you, Princess.” Fluttershy said, happily.
“Now go on, Fluttershy. Go tell the other Elements of Harmony, along with Spike, that they will be living in Canterlot.”
Fluttershy flew out of the castle and went straight to Ponyville to tell her friends of the news.
Celestia was next.
Fluttershy first stopped by Twilights library to pick up Spike and tell him the news. She walked on in without knocking, closing the door behind her. She felt an angry presence. Sensing it was Twilights, she went on upstairs to find that Spike was no where in the library.
Downstairs, Fluttershy heard the library’s door open, and then shut.
Footsteps came up the stairs, along with whistling. It was whistling a familiar tune.
The figure turned on the light switch.
“AH! Fluttershy! What are you doing here?” Spike asked, picking up the papers that got thrown out of his hands in fear.
“Oh, I’m sorry Spike. I-I didn’t mean to scare you.. I just wanted to tell you that Celestia wants our friends, you, and me to stay at her castle until the murderer is found.”
“Tell the Princess I can’t. I’ve been keeping this place tidy for Twilight... Sh-she would have wanted me t-to do this for h-h-her...” The tiny dragons throat was cracking.
Spike was still depressed over losing his best friend. He wished he would have been there with her, instead of sleeping in bed all day. Spike always blamed himself for his friends death.
“O-okay Spike. I’ll be sure to let Celestia know.” Fluttershy said, as she trotted out the door, closing it behind her.
As soon as she was gone, Spike lost it. His dragon tears flowed down his cheeks. All the memories of him and Twilight growing up were coming back to him.
Magic Duel
“Well, Twilight, I guess It’s up to you. Come on, show her what you’re made of!”
“What do you mean? I’m nothing special...” Twilight said, a bit confused.
Yes you are! You’re better than her!” Spike exclaimed.
“I’m not better than anyone...” Twilight said in a sad tone.
Winter Wrap-Up
“Well, you’re good at alot of things! Just not nest making, ice skating, animal waking, snow clearing...” Spike said, trying not to hurt Twilights feelings.
“Oh, thanks alot for making me feel so much better.” Twilight said in a sarcastic tone.
“That’s what I’m here for, sister!” Spike smiled.
Spike was always there for Twilight, just as she was for him. Ever since his egg hatched. Why wasn’t he there for her then? The day she got murdered?
Spike stayed in the library, soaked in his own tears.
Fluttershy went to each and every of of her friends, telling all of them the news that Celestia had told her. Each of them happy that they got to live in Canterlot.
A few days later, Celestia ordered the guards to go with each pony to their home and help them get their belongings. All but one pony agreed. Fluttershy.
Fluttershy stayed with Celestia. Little did Celestia know, she was unsafe. As soon as the guards were out of sight, Celestia sighed, up on her throne, and shut her eyes for a bit.
Fluttershy pulled out a knife that was hidden behind her, and cut open Celestias throat. The knife she used was dull, so dull that it was almost hard to tear the skin. But she did it. Celestia died there, up on her throne, blood trickling down her body. Her lifeless eyes, widened in shock, staring ahead of her. Her hooves, limp on to her sides.
Fluttershy ran out of the Princesses royal room and into Ponyville to alarm the guards that Celestia was dead.
“H-Help!” Fluttershy screamed at one of the guards, tears flowing from her eyes.
“What’s wrong miss? Aren’t you supposed to be with Celestia?”
“I-I was, but then I-I h-had to go to my room for a bit, I came back and C-Celestia... D-Dead.. I don’t know if the murderer is still in Canterlot, so I ran. I-I’m scared.”
At that point, the guard knew that no one, in all of Equestria, was safe. He called all of the townspeople to give them the bad news that they no longer had a Princess in charge. Everyone in Equestria mourned.
The four ponies didn’t get to live in Canterlot. They were ordered to stay at home and go along with their lives until further notice.
Fluttershy went back to her Cottage.
“Did you miss me, Angel?”
Angel grinned a wicked grin.
“Do you know who’s next, Angel?”
Angel shook his head, telling the yellow pegasi that no, he did not. But he was curious. She never told him who’d be next.
“Spike sure does miss Twilight. I think I’ll go back by there tomorrow to see how sad he’s been....”
