Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash all gathered at Sweet Apple Acres to see Applejack. The girls were even more shaken up about Pinkie Pie's sudden passing. Rainbow Dash was sitting with Fluttershy, her face was buried in her hooves and she covered herself in her wings. Rarity sat across from the two pegasi while Applejack was pacing the floor in between them.

"Do you...do you think she could've done herself in?" Applejack asked as she stopped pacing. Rarity looked at her in shock.

"Why would you even think she would to that?! She had no reason to." Rarity gave Applejack a nasty look.

"I'm just saying…" Applejack continued. "you never know."

"It could've just been an accident. She was eating a cupcake, she could have choked on the piece she had in her mouth." Rarity retorted.

"It could've been something else…" Applejack muttered under her breath. Rarity then got right in Applejack's face, astonished that she even said that.

"What do you mean?! Are you suggesting someone did that to her?" Rarity and Applejack continued to argue back and forth to the point it made Fluttershy run out of the room with tears rolling down her face. Rainbow let out a sigh and then flew after her. Applejack then gave Rarity a dirty look.

"Now look what ya'll gone and done."

"Oh, there you go, blaming me again. That's all you're good at!" she screamed. "With all the talk about someone killing our friend, I'd say that you had something to do with it." Without hesitation Applejack struck Rarity across the face, leaving a light pink hoof mark on her snow white coat. She then stormed off without another word, leaving Rarity dumbfounded and teary eyed.

Rainbow Dash walked fluttershy to her home, comforting her the best she could on the way. When Fluttershy's animal friends saw how sad she looked, they all gathered around her and cuddled with her as she sat on the couch. Rainbow then went upstairs and brought down a blanket and some pillows so Fluttershy could be more comfortable. Fluttershy looked up at Rainbow, her eyes now red and puffy from her tears.

"Rainbow, could you stay the night with me? I don't want to be alone tonight." she said in a small, squeaky voice. Rainbow snuggled up beside her, cradling her in her wings as she did earlier. Rainbow gave her a small warm smile.

"Of course I will, Fluttershy." Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash soon feel asleep on the couch, with Fluttershy's animals surrounding the two grieving ponies.

The whole room was black and silent. Fluttershy sat in the middle of it, too scared to move. She then heard an eerie, yet familiar, voice. she turned her head to see Twilight sitting behind her. Broken bones stuck out of each of her legs. Her neck was bent in such a way, you would have to lay on your side to properly make eye contact with her. Her once beautiful purple coat was now almost completely stained and encrusted with blood and her horn was snapped in two, the top part just dangling by a thread. Her left eye was all red due to the broken blood vessels and her right eye was just hanging by the nerve out of it's socket. She had a twisted and demented smile on her face, with blood seeping out of the corners.

Fluttershy's first instinct was to scream and run but she was too scared to make a sound or move any of her muscles. She then heard a demonic-like high pitched giggle. Her eyes glanced over to the right of Twilight, and she saw Pinkie Pie. Pinkie's mane was matted and in tangles, bits of her hair was even missing; as if she was decomposing. Her coat wasn't the bright pink that it once was, now it was a sickly green color all over, but her face was a bit different. Her face was puffy in various spots, there were even some teeth missing as she smiled a smile similar to Twilight's.

Fluttershy had tears welling up in her eyes, both out of fear and sadness of seeing her friends in this state. She wanted to try and run again, but her legs felt frozen to the ground. Twilight and Pinkie drew closer to Fluttershy.

"Come join us Fluttershy." Twilight whispered in a distorted sounding voice.

"You'll like it…" Pinkie Pie chimed in.

Fluttershy didn't know what to do. All she was able to do was fall to the floor and cover her eyes, hoping they would go away.

Fluttershy woke up, screaming as her eyes opened. Rainbow Dash shot up from her spot on the couch.

"Wha-what? Fluttershy, are you ok?!" she held Fluttershy as she was crying, and trying to tell Rainbow what she saw. Rainbow stroked her mane as she tried to calm her down.

"It's ok Fluttershy. It was just a dream. Dreams can't hurt you." Fluttershy finally composed

herself as she wiped the tears from her eyes and her cheeks. Rainbow Dash fell right back asleep but it took Fluttershy a little longer to do the same. As she was about to close her eyes, she heard something near the door. She looked around and noticed that Angel Bunny wasn't where he was sleeping. She got up off the couch and slowly walked to the door, thinking Angel got out. She stepped out into her yard.

"Angel? Are you out here?" she called out, walking deeper into the darkness. She then heard some more foot steps leading toward the forest. Fluttershy was scared to go venturing out there alone in the dark, but she needed to find her pet. Bravely as she could, she kept on walking until she reached the edge of the forest.

"Angel, this is no time to be playing hide and-" Fluttershy was then cut off when she accidentally

bumped into a low hanging tree branch and fell on her back. The thud of her body hitting the ground was followed by a metallic creaking, as a the teeth of a bear trap dug into her neck. Blood started to spurt out as one of the sharp teeth pierced her jugular vein. She couldn't scream for help or out of pain, all she could do was make sickening gurgles as she slowly bleed out.

Rainbow Dash woke up the next morning.

"Hey, Fluttershy, how did you…" She looked over to the other end of the couch to see that Fluttershy wasn't there. She got up and noticed that the door was open.

"She must be feeding her chickens." she thought. She walked outside only to be greeted by a few of Fluttershy's bird friends. They looked panicked and were tugging at Rainbow's mane and tail, trying to get her to follow them. Since Rainbow didn't speak bird, the look on their faces and frantic chirping gave her the idea of what they wanted.

Rainbow galloped after them and found a gruesome sight. Maggots and flies were swarming all over Fluttershy. Her mouth was open and the blood was dried and looked black all over her neck. Rainbow didn't know what to do. She tried to pry the bear trap off of her neck, but it wouldn't budge. She backed away and ran to Applejack and Rarity. Tears burning her eyes and she ran.

"What is happening?"
