The Days before the darkView OnlineCandy MuffinsThe Days before the darkDerpy sat in her dank, lonley room in the Ponyville Orphanage.She cried looking at the last picture she had of her parents. She wiped her tears as she looked back at the day she was put into the orphanage. She had just woken up when her loving mother called her to breakfast. Derpy ate the same old -same old, a blueberry muffin and a cup of Apple Cider, which was her favorite. It seemed like a ordinary day for Derpy, little did she know this is the day that would change her life forever. As she headed to school, she passed other pegasi who looked at her and laughed. She knew she was different and accepted it. She just couldn't stand it when they called her names. When she got to school she noticed a pink pony was watching her. As soon as the pink pony realized Derpy saw her, she ran away. Derpy disregarded it and went to class. Before she knew it, it was lunch. She sat her brown paper bag on the table and opened it. She pulled out a muffin and started to nibble on it. "Hey, Derpy!" said Derpy's friend, Screwball, "What do you have for lunch today?". Derpy smiled. Screwball was Derpy's best friend, partly because they both were wall-eyed. "Muffins" Derpy said, as she pulled one out and gave it to Screwball "as usual.". Screwball smiled. Derpy's Muffins were her favorite! All Screwball ever brought was a cookie and a PB&J sandwich. Before she knew it lunch was over! Derpy walked back to class and sat down.She smiled at the teacher,Rainy Day.She was a kind teacher who was strict when she had to be.Derpy loved Rainy Day.Derpy listened closely to Rainy,but she was distracred by the voices she heard brhind her.She turned around and saw two colts staring at her and snickering.Derpy knew they were making fun of her and turned around, angry.The teacher was standing infront of her, looking at Derpy quizically."Well?" Rainy asked.Derpy stared at her with a blank expression.Rainy turned around and wrote something on the board.Derpy was used to this.Her day was the same song-and-dance. When the bell rang, Derpy ran home but, on the way she saw the pink pony again. She waved but the pony ignored her and walked away. When she walked in her front door she saw her parents arguing. Her mom told her to pack. Derpy had a confused look on her face but did what her mom said. Her mom tried to explain that she had to go where her dad couldn't hurt her. Derpy had seen Daddy hit Mommy before but, thought she just was bad like how when she did something wrong she was spanked. Her mom walked her to a building Derpy didn't recognize. Derpy sounded out the words on the front " Or-phan-age". "Why are we at an orphanage?" Derpy asked. "You have to leave so Daddy doesn't hurt me" Derpy's mom said , almost crying. "For how long?" Derpy said, her eyes starting to water. "Until another family wants you." Derpy's mom gave Derpy a big hug, crying. "I love you!" Derpy said. Derpy's mom gave her a kiss on the forehead and said " I love you too." Derpy's mom filled out some paperwork, hugged Derpy, and left Derpy there all alone
No way outView OnlineCandy MuffinsNo way outPinkamena explained the best she could."You see, I'v seen potential in you since you were put in the orphanage." Pinkamena said , smiling." I thought that maybe you join in on the buisness when you get older. But, for now you can help in the kitchen." Derpy was curious about the buisness Pinkamena had mentioned."What do you do, Pinkamena?" Derpy asked." Cupcakes. And you can call me mom.You don't happen to like cupcakes, do ya?" Pinkamena asked. "No. I like muffins, though." Derpy said, smiling."Oh...Well were here." Pinkamena said, stopping in front of a gingerbread house-shaped building. Derpy thought it looked like any other house.Pinkamena showed Derpy to her room.It had a matress laying on the floor and a dirty bathroom. "This is where my old apprentice slept. She was a orange filly about your age." Pinkamena said smiling slightly.Derpy sat down on the filthy matress. "There's only one rule: Don't go down to the basement.Are we clear?" Pinkamena said. "Yes, Mom." Derpy said almost giggling. "This is no joke, Ok Derpy?". "Okay fine." Derpy said, wanting to know what was in the basement."Now, let's go make cupcakes." Pinkamena said."Can we make muffins?" Derpy asked."Its not the tradition but why not?" Pinkamena said. Pinkamena put on her apron, which had dark red stains on it. Pinkamena got out a bowl and looked in her baren fridge."I'm going to have to go to the store to get some ingredients" Pinkamena said "Don't get into any trouble while im gone, okay?"."I'll try not to" Derpy said smiling. Pinkamena looked worried but relutantly walked out the door, leaving Derpy alone. Derpy had nightmares that night. She kept imagining what she saw earlier that day. Pinkamena had just left when Derpy became curious about the basement. She opened the creaky door and saw a horrific sight. Blood covered the walls. Derpy walked down the stairs to a table with some tools on it. Derpy tried to stand on her hind legs so she could get a better view but, she knocked the table over. Tools layed everywhere on the floor. Derpy noticed she was bleeding. She started looking around for a bandage. She bumped into a table,yelled, and quickly ran back up stairs into her bedroom. The next day Pinkamena noticed a scab on Derpy's hoof.Derpy claimed that it came from a papercut, but Pinkamena didn't believe her.Pinkamena raised an eyebrow and went into the basement, telling Derpy not to move. Pinkamena found a table knocked over and tools all over the floor. One of the tools had fresh blood on it. Pinkamena's worst fears had been confirmed.
Live,Love,AdoptionView OnlineCandy MuffinsLive,Love,AdoptionAfter the six months Derpy had been there she still didn't have any friends. She had just made one friend when he was adopted. His name was Blazze. She had bumped into him when they were getting lunch that day. "Sorry" she said, brushing her self off. They looked into each others eyes and , for a split second, Derpy felt a weird feeling in her chest. "It's okay" he smiled. Derpy tried not to blush. He is so cute , she thought. His mane was red and black and his coat was red as a ripe strawberry."My name is Derpy" she said "What's yours?". "Blazze" the unicorn said smiling. "Wanna eat lunch with me?" Blazze said. "Sure." Derpy said, smiling widely. They walked over to a table, chatted, and ate their lunch, then went back to their cold, lonley rooms.Blazze was adopted a week later by some Unicorn named Raven. Raven seemed like a nice pony, but Derpy had a bad feeling about her. Derpy had noticed the pink pony watching her more frequently. She thought that she was going crazy when one day she was brought out of her room and was told she might be adopted. This was the third time she was told she might be adopted , so she didn't get her hopes up. The first time she was adopted by the royal sisters. They felt pity for the wall-eyed filly. They treated her with the utmost care. Derpy was specifically fond of Luna. They even had a little chant. Every night, Luna would chant : "Nightime,Nightime, Everythings asleep , now close your eyes and don't make a peep!". The second time a unicorn was going to adopt her. He had came in and said he would come back the next day adopt her. He never came back. This time the pink pony had came in. She had straight hair , which Derpy hated. The pink pony said nothing while filing out the paperwork. Nopony would question her, as if they were scared of her. When she was done she walked up to Derpy and smiled. "My name is Pinkamena, and yours is Derpy right?". Derpy nodded tempted to ask how she knew her name."You have probaly seen me before, watching you.". "I'll explain everything on the way to your new home." Pinkamena said, as she smiled and trotted to the door.Derpy followed asking no questions.
First bloodView OnlineCandy MuffinsFirst bloodDerpy didn't want to kill Bon-Bon,but she had no choice.Once Pinkamena had found out about Derpy being in the basement, she had to explain what she really does. "Do you remember when I told you I make cupcakes?" Pinkamena asked.Derpy nodded."Well, there's more to it...You see, I kill ponies to put into cupcakes." Pinkamena said, smiling nervously.Derpy's eyes widened and she stared at Pinkamena.Was that why she had seen so much blood?And the tools?Who was the pony Derpy bumped into?Derpy's mind was reeling thinking about all of this."You are going to have to do this.I was hoping to teach when your older."Pinkamena said."Follow me."Pinkamena said, trotting to her basement.Derpy followed, scared.Pinkamena trotted over to a door opened and a pony fell out. Derpy recognized the pony. She had seen her just the other day with a green pony."Bon-Bon is going to be your first."Pinkamena said,smiling. Bon-Bon lay strapped to a table, squirming.Pinkamena made the first cut.She sliced the stomach half-way open and handed her knife to Derpy.Derpy cried as she finished the murder. When they were done, Pinkamena cut off the cutie mark and walked over to a table with a sewing machine on it. She picked up a dress beside it and sewed the cutie mark on it."Now, were going to make cupcakes!" Pinkamena said,smiling. Derpy had to admit she loved the muffins. She had conned Pinkamena into letting her make muffins instead of cupcakes.Derpy had made the muffins the way she usually made them, except Pinkamena added some of the flesh of Bon-Bon to the mix.Pinkamena had joked when she was making the muffins."We'll have to start calling you Derpamena!" Pinkamena had said. Derpy now thought about that and wondered if one day she might turn out like Pinkamena, no family,friends, or even a special somepony.
