Chapter Two

Celestia started to regain consciousness, her vision still blurry. The solar princess stood up as her vision gradually cleared. She saw that she was in the room Twilight was practicing in, but she was surprised to see neither Twilight, nor any guards that might have rushed in.

The white alicorn ascended up the stairs and quickly reached the halls of the Canterlot castle. Celestia looked out a window and saw the sun was close to the time it would set. She was surprised to see no ponies wandering the streets.

Celestia was startled by the sound of a voice. The solar princess turned around and saw two royal guards standing farther down the hallway.

“Princess Sparkle, we just came to remind you that tomorrow is the seventh anniversary of your special day," one of the guards spoke. Celestia wasn’t sure what they meant by “Special Day," but didn’t think it mattered.

“Ah, yes. How could I have forgotten such an important day,” the lavender alicorn said. Celestia was about to call out to her student but paused when Twilight came into her view. The lavender mare had blood dripping off of her horn, wings, and hooves.

Celestia stepped back at the sight. At first she thought it could be changeling blood, but then she remembered changeling blood isn’t red. She also thought that it could have been an execution, but crimes were very uncommon in Equestria, and even if one was committed, none of them are punishable by death.

The solar princess decided to avoid Twilight and the royal guards for the time being. Celestia prowled through the halls trying to remain as quiet as possible. She found Twilight's room in the same spot in usually was in. Celestia used her magic to open the wooden portal and walked inside. She immediately stopped at the sight in the room. The walls and floors where covered in blood.

In the center of the room was a table long enough to fit a single pony on it. Around the edges where straps large enough to fit hooves in all of them. Celestia heard hoof steps from down the hall. She quickly sprinted inside and hid behind several fallen tables and shelves in the blood covered room.

The door creaked as the portal opened and Twilight, two guards, and a green unicorn who Celestia was able to recognize as Lyra walked in. The guards strapped the green mare down to the table. They then walked out of the room leaving Twilight, Celestia, and Lyra alone.

“So, how has your life been? Lyra is it?” the blood covered alicorn asked. Lyra didn’t reply to the lavender alicorn's question. Twilight’s facial expression changed from an insane smile to a frown. “ANSWER ME DAMNIT!” Twilight yelled as conjured a knife, which she brought down into the pony's chest.

The green unicorn screamed in pain at the impact of the knife. Maroon liquid started to flow from the wound in green unicorn’s chest. Celestia couldn’t watch what torture her student was doing to the green mare. Twilight walked around the bleeding mare a couple of times listening to her crying and screams of pain.

“Well I guess if you’re not going to say anything,” the lavender mare started pulling the knife out of Lyra’s chest “Then I guess I’ll just kill you know,” Twilight finished before slowly sliding the knife across the green mare’s neck. Lyra died once the cut was complete.

Once the mare was dead Twilight grabbed the knife with her magic and started to cut of the horn off the dead unicorn. Once the horn was off a lavender aurora descended into it. After a couple of seconds a green aurora attached to the aurora from Twilight’s horn.

The lavender alicorn princess absorbed the green aurora into her horn. She removed the straps and tossed the body right in front of the shelf Celestia was hiding behind. The impact of the body startled the white alicorn. Twilight then left the room and closed the doors.

Celestia was speechless toward the murder her faithful student just committed. She stepped out from behind her cover and stood there, looking at the body. Once the white alicorn snapped out of her shock, she used her magic to levitate the body. She slowly opened the door to the blood covered room.

Celestia quickly looked down the hall before sprinting toward the balcony at the end of the hall and flying over the stone railing. She landed in the Ever-Free Forest below the castle where she set the body of dead mare.

Celestia then used her magic to dig a hole in the ground long enough to fit the green mare's body. Once she was done she placed the mare inside the hole and covered the body with the dirt. The white alicorn princess then lowered her head in respect for her dead subject.

Once she looked up again the moon was above her. Celestia took one last look at where she buried the mare before flying off.

Pinkamena walked up the stairs from her basement to the first floor of the bakery. Fresh, wet blood dripped from the pink mare’s mane and nose. Royal guards in shining gold armor stood at the doors of the bakery. The blood stained pony ascended up another set of stairs to her office where she took of her dress of cutie marks and unicorn horn necklace.

She then walked into her bathroom and shut the door. The tub in the room was already filled with warm water. Pinkamena stepped into it, descending into the water, letting out a short sigh of pleasure. The pink pony closed her eyes and slept.

Once she woke up she looked out the window to see that the moon was raised. “Damn it!” the pink mare whispered. “I forgot the start the cupcakes." She began to rise from the tub, then fell back into it. “Actually, why do I even need to make them in a certain amount of time? When I feel like killing a pony I can. Guess it’s just for old times.” After a few more minutes, she got back up.

She descended the stairs into her basement and grabbed a bag of pony meat with her mouth. A ghastly smell caught her attention. The pink mare looked toward a corner of the room, where dozens of dead bodies were piled on top of each other.

“Guess Twilight was right. I should have some of the bodies removed from down here.” Pinkamena said to herself, before walking back up the stairs and started baking a new batch of cupcakes.

Rainbow Dash stood on one of the many steel catwalks in the dimly lit factory. She was watching one of the pegasus from the floating city. The brown pony was tied down to a steal board, with a knife attached to a robotic arm inside his chest.

He screamed in pain as the knife twitched slightly inside of him. After an hour of listening to his screams the rainbow-maned pony pushed on a nearby lever, punching the metallic blade though the stallion’s body. As Rainbow Dash was about to pull back on the lever she heard hoof steps from behind her. She turned around to see a yellow green mare standing behind her.

“What do you want,Green Fire?” Rainbow Dash questioned.

“You’ve been killing ponies all day Rainbow; you need to get some sleep,” the green maned mare said.

“I’ll sleep when I feel like it. Now just go back to bed," the cyan Pegasus replied.

“Well can you at least kill them quickly so the rest of us can sleep?” Green Fire asked her boss. Rainbow Dash grunted, but nodded her head.

Rainbow Dash then focused her view on the dead pony on the board. She heard the hoof steps fade as she pulled out the knife and lowered the robot arm with a knead down from the roof.

Rarity woke up to the sound of screaming coming from the downstairs floor of the Boutique. The white unicorn descended down the stairs, rubbing her right eye with her hoof.

When she reached the bottom floor she saw her last victim, a red mare with a blond mane, crying on the table she was strapped down to.

“Darling you have to be quiet so mommy can get some sleep.” Rarity explained to her helpless victim.

(Part removed. Clop involved. Clop clop clop...)

Rarity pulled her head away from the captive pony’s mouth and said “Now if you don’t mind mommy is going to get some sleep. I recommend you do the same.” And with that, she began walking back up the stairs into her room.same.” Rarity explained before walking back up the stairs into her room.
