First Victim and an Unexpected Guest
Fluttershy began carefully stroking the scalpel as she peered over at her victim of the evening, Violet Night Smiling widely, she approached her victim and took the scalpel and brought it across the base of Violet’s hoof, yet to Fluttershy’s dismay, Violet had not bled very much. Upset with the results, she reaches for a small, jagged edge blade with saw teeth on the back side and begins to stab Violet. As the stabbing continued, she ripped, tore, and sawed away at flesh, muscle and bone, Shattering, stringing and altogether ripping it away. The now profusely bleeding Violet merely laughed and looked at Fluttershy.
“Is that all you have Fluttershy? Surely you’ve got more in you than that!”
Violet’s words drew Fluttershy into a blind rage as she grabbed a hack saw and started to grind the teeth of the blade against Violet’s arms furiously.
“How about this bitch!? Am I doing better now!?” Fluttershy screamed over Violet’s agonizing, blood churning shrieks of pain.
Violet howled as she attempted to thrash around, yet she was so securely fastened to the table by the titanium restraints that she was held still for the most part as Fluttershy smiled in delight knowing the mare before her was in pain and no longer making fun of her, but crying, bleeding, and from what she saw, was surely dying.
Violet, now calming down, looked at the absolute devastation that was now her chest cavity and abdominal region. Her body was in ruin.
Her chest was mangled, flaps of skin and flesh dangle by mere strands of tissue, holding on as if they had the will power to not become another piece of her body on the floor or table. Splintered bone lay in the remaining muscle tissue, and pieces appear to have impaled the muscle and other just lay on top of it. She notices a particularly damaged bone, that looks as if it were perfectly sliced in half or just was a deformity, the marrow within clearly exposed. She notices a tendon, trying desperately to hold the bone to the muscle and vice versa by only a spider silk strand. Entire chunks of muscle were now missing from Violet’s chest, Fluttershy picking them up and placing them in bloodied bags, then filling the bags up with Violet’s blood that was now slowly running off of the table like a crimson stream. The still smiling Fluttershy reaches for her scalpel and carves a chunk of Violet’s chest out and places it on her tongue with a disgusting slap.
“Violet you taste so good!” Fluttershy said, humming in delight.
With that, Fluttershy closed her mouth, chewed the piece of flesh, and swallowed it, spitting out a chunk of bone back into Violet’s chest.
“You can keep that.” She scowled Violet as thought it were her fault the bone were in the muscle.
Watching Fluttershy do this caused her to gag as she watched her leave, closing the door behind her. Nervous and in indescribable pain, she looked over at the restraints, one of which was now stained crimson with her blood as the muscle, tissue, and bone were severed just after the restrain. Suddenly, Violet’s arm began to regenerate, pushing the old and dead limb off the table, causing a loud thud as it hit the ground. Hearing the noise from Violet’s room, she rushed back nearly smashing the door down, as she saw the old limb on the floor and the newly re-grown limb attached to Violet as if the limb were never cut off. In a complete state of shock, Fluttershy screamed in frustration as she began to reach for the scalpel again as Violet leaned in towards Fluttershy as closely as she could and whispered.
“You’ve seen what happens to me Fluttershy, you can’t kill me no matter how hard you try.”
With a smirk on her face, she looked at Violet and replied “I have my ways dear.”
Fluttershy reached for a bottle with skull and crossbones on it with the label HCl. She pulled off the rubber stopper, titled the heavy glass bottle and slammed it into Violet’s mouth, causing her jaws to crack and making the bones shatter rather audibly. As the bottle was continued to be forced into Violet’s mouth, she attempted to let out one final scream, but the acid did its job too quickly and dissolved any chance of ever being heard again as it made its way down her throat, Fluttershy directing it with a tilt of the table Violet was on, allowing the acid to make its way down Violet’s body. As the acid continued to work, bits and pieces of bone could be seen running down what was left of Violet’s chest and pieces being spewed from Violet’s nose, which was now being deteriorated. The acid filled the room with the smell of burning flesh as it dissolved Violet, which was now more visible as it made its way to her chest. As Fluttershy watched the acid work, she smiled as the remaining tissue turned into a pile of gross, red and pink goo, sticky and unbearably disgusting in smell as Fluttershy had placed a gas mask over her face. As the body finished being dissolved and the acid ran into the drain, she took what was left of the body and tossed out of the window of her shed, where nopony would ever find it.
Looking around she sighed with delight and decided to pack up her equipment after cleaning it of course. She smiled hearing a knock at the door as she finished with the saw toothed blade and put it away, closing the door carefully as she made her way to the front.
"Hello? Who is there?" Fluttershy peeked around the corner to see a scared little filly sitting there mumbling to herself and covered in blood. "Oh my. You must be horrified, please come here"
The little filly looked at Fluttershy and mumbled something under her breath before following her into the house.
"What is your name?" Fluttershy asked a concerned tone in her voice as the filly looked at her, a smile growing on her face. Little did 'Shy know, she was in the presence of one very anti-social filly.
"Crimson, Crimson Shadow" She muttered. Her coat was a blood red, but the fresh blood on her coat clearly distinguished her coat from the blood. "I am sorry for interrupting you, but I can't seem to find anypony to help me, I had an accident and I couldn't find anypony until I stumbled onto your house."
Fluttershy wrapped her front hooves around the small filly and smiled "It's quite alright, Crimson is your name? What a beautiful name." She said it so softly that Crimson only smiled as she hugged Fluttershy back.
"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything, I would hate to be a burden" She looked at Fluttershy as if she hadn't seen anypony else in a very long time. Crimson stood slightly taller than Fluttershy, yet she was considerably younger given the lack of developemnt in her wings.
"Nonesense, I am more than willing to care for anypony in need" She smiled at the recent events with her victim and sighed in contentment.
"Miss, I never got your name." Crimson said casually as she released her grip.
"Oh, I'm Fluttershy, it's a pleasure to meet you Crimson." Her ears perk up as the door once again knocks, yet it sounds more aggressive this time. "One moment Crimson" She whispered as she flew over to the door and cracked it open. "H-hello?" She looked around but nopony was there so she closed it.
"Who was it?" Crimson seemed as if she was scared as the trembling in her voice clearly showed.
"I'm not sure, There wasn't anypony there"
Crimson seemed to relax a little and smiled soflty "Miss Fluttershy, is there somewhere I may rest? I feel as though I may need it"
Fluttershy smiled and nodded "Follow me please~" as she flew up the stairs slowly, Crimson in tow behind her.
They reached a door and she opened it, revealing a large, queen sized bed that seemed much larger than necessary for a single mare and Crimson looked at her with a worried expression "Are you alright? Do you need a rest too? You could lay with me if anything." Fluttershy looked very shocked as Crimson seemed to not notice what she had said, but if she did, she showed no signs of it.
"I will be fine dear, but I thank yo-" She was caught off as Crimson placed her wing on Fluttershy's back, causing her face to flush, a burning sensation going up her spine and rest on her cheeks "Okay, maybe I do need a rest"
The two got into the large bed and layed under the covers, not caring that Crimson had gotten blood all over the bed.
"I will wash out the fabric in the morning dear, get some rest." Fluttershy simply stated in between heavy yawns.
"Yes, miss Fluttershy. Goodnight"
"Please, just call me Shy" Fluttershy smiled softly and Crimson returned the smile.
"Goodnight Shy"
"Goodnight"
It was early morning, the sun was shining through the window and just enough light was there to wake Fluttershy. The smell of food filled the house, but it smelled... Different. Fluttershy smelled cooking flesh and bacon. She dashes down the stairs and finds Crimson munching on a piece of cooked flesh, rabbit from the smell. She noticed Fluttershy and smiled.
"Good morning sleepy head"
Fluttershy blinked a couple times, curious as to why she wasn't freaking out, and is that rabbit in her mouth?
"G-good morning, what is that in your mouth?" Shy stuttered.
"Rabbit, want a piece?" Crimson simply smiled holding out a piece of grilled rabbit. She couldn't resist and snatched it up and shoved it in her mouth, much to Crimson's surprise.
"Woah, didn't know you love rabbit, I guess I will have to cook it more often for you." Crimson simply smiled turning her head slightly as she finished cooking three more pieces.
"So, how long are you going to need to stay here?" Shy asked curiously.
"Well, I was actually going to ask you that. May I live here with you?" She simply asked as she placed more rabbit on the pan, a sizzling sound emanating from the pan.
Fluttershy stared at her with a confused look, "Umm... Sure?" She walked towards the mare slowly and hugged her "Thank you."
"For what?" Crimson looked back at the now teary eyed Fluttershy.
"For actually doing any of this," She sniffled "I have never been treated this way, ever since... Ever since he came around, I have been left pretty much alone on my own. I can't believe-" She was cut off by Crimson placing her hoof to Fluttershy's mouth.
"You are always going to be cared about by me, you had taken me in when nopony else would. That means the world to me 'Shy. I really do enjoy your company." As she said this she smiled softly and nuzzled Fluttershy as her face flushed "That means the world to me, Even Luna would be happy at this." She continued to smile as she pulled away.
"I... Uh... Th-thanks Crimson. It means a lot to me, and I am happy to have found you." She smiled as she pulled Crimson into a tight hug, holding crimson as she smiled, returning the hug.
"I have never been so touched, to be held by somepony as you, I feel like I'm home. I feel loved and cared for all the time with you." She smiled and looked back at the stove, taking the last of the rabbit off the stove. "Breakfast is ready, shall we eat now dear?"
Fluttershy caught off guard by the statement caused her to blush and smile "Let's, but I must ask you something."
"Anything 'Shy" Crimson said smiling happily.
"What exactly are you? Nopony actually eats meat willingly, I took a long time to adjust to it, so what exactly are you?"
"Lycan, Demon, Pony... I know, I shouldn't be straight forward but I trust and care about you so you deserve to know." She smiled sheepishly expecting the yellow and pink maned mare to freak out.
Fluttershy smiles and hugs Crimson tighter, unusual for the yellow mare "Well that makes me feel better!"
"It does?" Crimson asked clearly confused.
"OF COURSE IT DOES!" Fluttershy smiled happily, "That means I don't have to hide anything from you!" the yellow mare grabbed Crimson's hoof and pulled her over to the shed door, the smell still of burning flesh fresh in the air.
"What is that smell?" Crimson asked, waving a hoof in her face.
"Sorry, I forgot to air out the room... I had somepony nosing around, now they are nosing the ground" Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle at her play on her words.
"So... Melting or burning flesh" Crimson deadpanned.
"...Yea..." Flutershy stated seeming worried.
The young mare simply giggled and looked around "So, you aren't so shy after all?"
"I-I guess not..." She stated meekly
"Interesting... So why do you still act it?" Crimson couldn't help it, she made the cutest face she could, causing her pupils to dilate and she put on a small smile. This caused Fluttershy to laugh uncontrollably and fall over. Upon reaching the ground, the wind was knocked out of her and she got back up, giggling softly in between coughs.
"I guess, I guess I just want to keep something that used to be me." She shrugged, as if that were the obvious answer.
"So, you miss being shy?" Crimson smirked.
"Should I not miss it?" Fluttershy countered.
Completely taken off guard at this, she looked to the ground and around the room. "I guess you should miss it. Seeing as you were probably cuter when you were shy." She giggled as Fluttershy's face flushed and a smile was plastered on her face.
"Oh? Well I guess I could play it around you more often then yes?" 'Shy smiled coyly at Crimson, this time triggering the younger mares blushing and smiling as she tried to hide behind her wing
"So, how exactly did you end up at my house again Crimson?" 'Shy asked curiously "I am not so sure you told me." If Fluttershy was told, she certainly did not remember, or she just wanted an excuse to hear the mare talk more, either way. She loved every time she heard the younger mare's smooth voice reverberate her to the very core.
"Well... I was actually in quite the fight... And I was losing fast. So I decided I should try to run, but when I got near your house, they vanished. I wasn't sure as to why they did... But they seemed terrified of the house, and now I am here with you~" She seemed to have purred at the end of her statement as she nuzzled against 'Shy. The older mare let out a small eep at the touch of Crimson, so bold, why wasn't this mare afraid of her in the least?
"You really make me happy 'Shy," The younger mare announced as if answering her thoughts "I feel so cozy around you I could stay like this forever." Forever, that's what caught her attention, causing 'Shy to blush like a mad mare.
"Oh stop Crimson you're just a kidder" She said, half hoping she was just kidding, the other side of her yearning to hear it was truly real and the feeling wasn't going to dissipate easy.
"Of course you know I mean the truth don't you? I wouldn't say I don't enjoy you, I would be lying~" This statement sent chills up 'Shy's spine and her face, failing to repress the growing blush, caused her to giggle uncontrollably.
"Quiet you!" Was all she could manage before she smiled widely, expressing her clear enjoyment.
Crimson simply smiled and growled, startling Fluttershy a little.
"Oh... Did I scare you? I am so sorry 'Shy!" She wrapped her friend in a tight embrace, sniffling "I'm sorry..."
"I-It's fine Crimson dear, I was just shooken up a little, it's nothing. I just didn't expect it to sound so... Wolf-like..."
Crimson flinched as Shy had said wolf. Causing her to seem to shrink away as she released her friend and lay nearer to a corner.
"What's wrong Crimson?" Shy asked genuinely concerned for her new friend.
"Th-There's something I need to tell you..." Crimson stammered, she seemed much more vulnerable and scared of every motion that Shy had made.
"Well? What is it? You can tell me anything Crimson, I will think no less of you." Shy stated matter-of-factually.
"I... I'm not exactly a normal pony..." Crimson muttered. Shy flew over to Crimson and nuzzled her softly.
"Of course you aren't, you are a wonderf-" She was cut off short of her statement.
"I'm a werepony... And I tend to have a lot of my 'wolf' traits even outside of the actual form..."
"Well that's new... Cool, but new." Shy smiled and lifted Crimson's face to look her in the eyes. "I still care about you Crimson, I love that you are honest with me, even when you don't have to be."
"But, I feel that you of all ponies deserve to know about my... Condition..." She sighed "I hope this doesn't ruin my chances"
Fluttershy smiled softly, not quite getting what Crimson meant "What do you me- Oh..." Her face was now entirely beet red as she giggled.
"Trust me dear, you didn't."
