Spike closed his eyes. Twilight would be there soon. Fluttershy would kill her and Applejack, and It was all his fault. He had been put on the floor by Fluttershy and she had let him crawl off into his bed. He sat there, hugging his knees, tears rolling down his purple, scaly cheeks. He rocked back and fourth like he had gone insane. Maybe he had. He could hear Applejack's cries. Fluttershy must be doing something to her. Would Fluttershy kill him too? He thought that a few times. Spike began to think of all the things in his life. The things he took for granted. The things he's now lost. The things he's going to loose. All the ponies he'll leave behind If he dies. Then an idea sprang to mind. 'Of course'. Spike stood up quietly, not even daring to breath too loud for fear of Fluttershy hearing him. He scanned the darkness of the bedroom. Then he saw his target. he slowly tip-toed across the wooden floor, stopping periodically as he thought he was making too much noise. Finally he made it. He reached his clawed hand up onto the desk and took hold of what he was after. He held the piece of paper in one hand and a quill in another. He scribbled a single word on the piece of paper. 'Help'. He prepared to sent it away. He couldn't do this alone. He needed the Princess. He ignited the paper and it quickly burned away. He winced at the light. He didn't think it would be that bright. Then the door slammed open.

"Spikey, Spikey, Spikey. Now what do you think you are doing. That was a silly move" Fluttershy said, blocking the door.

"What...I didn't do anything" Spike said. He began to sweat and began to back away.

"Don't lie to me Spike" The pegasus shouted." I saw the flash from under the door".

"Please Fluttershy, I'm sorry." Spike dropped to his knees. "I'm so sorry. Just stop hurting ponies. Just leave Twilight and Applejack alone".

"Maybe, since you asked so nicely." Fluttershy revealed a knife she had been holding from her back."But I think I'm going to have to teach you a few lessons." Flutts kicked the door shut and began to move towards Spike.

The Sun now shone brightly in the sky, it's light penetrating the snow clouds defiantly. Princess Celestia admired her work for a while before turning around and walking off of her balcony into her room. Then came a knock form the door. She opened it with her magic and in entered her dark coated sister, who nodded at her and wandered over to the balcony to look and Celestia's handiwork.

"Good job my sister, we admire your work" Luna said in her regal voice.

"Luna please, you do not have to speak in that tone of voice around me" Celestia said, as she moved and stood next to her. The both looked at the sun together.

"I'm sorry sister. I'm just finding it hard to adjust" Luna said, sighing.

"It is fine Luna". Celestia turned to her "You can take all the time you need, I'm just happy I have my sister back".

"Thank you. So tell me, what is troubling you. You have sat up in this tower all night" Luna asked.

"Nothing to worry about" Celestia said. "Its is just that I haven't received a letter from Twilight for a while now" Celestia said, a hint of worry was noticeable in her voice.

"I'm sure it will be here soon. She is your prized student and I'm sure she's fine" Luna said reassuringly. "Now please sister, come downstairs. Let's do something, together. We have done little together since I was released from the moon".

After a few moments of thought Celestia decided."Ok Luna. I agree that we haven't spent much time together. We could do with some sister time." They both began to walk out of Princess Celestia's quarters when suddenly a letter appeared in front of them, enveloped in green flames. They both recoiled with surprise.

"Oh, the letter has arrived" Celestia said, about to open it.

"Tia please, can't it wait until later" Luna whined and pouted. Tia hung her head for a moment.

"Fine, It can wait" Celestia decided. She levitated the paper onto her desk with magic. They both walked out and Luna shut the door with magic. Little did they know that they had just left Spike to fend for himself.

Twilight ran through Everfree forest faster than she had ever ran before. She had to reach Spike. Hopefully, If fate was on her side, Applejack was ok too. She squinted through the dim of the night, barely dodging trees that stood defiantly in her way. Suddenly a branch caught her unaware and whipped at her face. Twilight flinched for a second, but continued at her pace. 'It was fine, just a small cut' she though. It would be nothing compared to what Fluttershy would do to her friends. To poor, defenceless Spike. What If he's done something stupid? What If she's hurt him? What if she's killed him? The thoughts she was having threatened to overwhelm Twilight. She shook her head. 'I just have to try and see the positives' she thought. She knew there wasn't many left though. She continued, unable to focus due to her terrible thoughts. Then her world suddenly came to a halt. She was sent flying forwards. She hit the ground hard and skidded a few metres. She'd tripped on a tree root. Then things became too overwhelming for her. She began to cry. Tears ran quickly down her face. Everything was gone. Her friends, Spike, her very way of living. She knew she wouldn't be able to be the same after this ordeal. Then Spike once again came into mind. She saw him crying, alone in the dark. He'd been hurt by Fluttershy and needed help, but he didn't get any as Twilight had just laid down, given up and felt sorry for herself. Twilight then realised what she was doing. "No" She said quietly to herself. "I've got to save Spike." She slowly pulled up her tired body and willed it to go on. She picked up speed and was once again heading toward town. 'Hold on Spike, I'm coming to make it all better'.

Spike looked down at the floor. There, across the blood covered, wooden floor boards, squirmed his severed, clawed fingers. Tears had already sprung to his eyes and now rolled down his cheeks. Fluttershy moved towards him and wiped his tears.

"There, there. I just had to teach you not to call anypony. Now you can't again." Spike didn't speak. He just stared at his stumps on his hands.

"Now, be a good baby dragon." Fluttershy said. From the next room, Applejack moaned. Fluttershy sprang to life." Ah yes, my dinner." She said, and wandered back into the next room. She slammed the door shut and plunged Spike's world back into darkness.

"Now AJ" Flutters said walking over to the earth pony nailed to the floor with knives."Are you ready?"

"Ready...ready for what?" AJ said quietly. This made Fluttershy laugh.

"Well, to die of course". Fluttershy began to walk toward AJ, her sights set on her hind legs.

"Whoa...hold on now, ya hear. What y'all plannin' on doin' to me?" Applejack said, nervously.

"You'll soon see" Fluttershy said. She was now stood over AJ's legs. She leaned forward and sniffed up and down her legs, from her hooves to just below her private areas.

"You smell delicious" Fluttershy said. Before Applejack could respond, Fluttershy clamped her teeth around AJ's thigh and bit down hard. She tore off a chuck of flesh and tore off some skin that tried to hang on defiantly. She chewed it down. Applejack bit her lip until it bled, then she couldn't take any more. She screamed. Fluttershy continued, biting away the rest of Applejack's left hind leg. Then she began to work on her right hind leg. She tore through the muscles and sinew and gobbled It all down. Blood ran from her mouth and down her chin.

"Your much better that Angel" She said between bites. After she had stripped away most of the flesh, the bone began to show through the bloody mess. Fluttershy brought her hooves down hard on the bones and snapped them messily off. Applejack's eyes opened wide, her mouth even wider, as the pain was like anything she had endured so far. Flutts tossed one of the hind legs aside, and she picked the other bone clean of flesh, stripping it of every last morsel of meat. She splintered the bone, and with a fragment, picked her teeth.

"This is such a messy business. The strands of tendons really get stuck in your teeth, you know what I mean?" Fluttershy asked. Applejack didn't respond. She was looking down at the blood now gushing out of the holes in her body. She looked over to her severed leg in the corner and then at the one Fluttershy was cleaning her teeth with. It was too much for Applejack. She felt her stomach churning. She twisted her head sideways and vomited over the wooden floor. She watched it seep through the gaps in the boards.

"Oh dear, feeling unwell" the pegasus taunted."Don't worry, You'll feel better soon. Trust me. Why would I lie to you?" Fluttershy lent over and grabbed firmly on AJ's left front leg. She began to pull. Applejack could feel her arm begin to throb. Flutts continued to pull. Then there was a pop. AJ screamed and looked at her now limp, floppy appendage. Fluttershy gave a few more tugs, then a sigh. "It's being pretty suborn" She said. "No worries, I know what to do." She lent closer to the dislocated limb and clamped her teeth around it. She slowly began to bite down, inching her teeth deeper into the flesh. Soon she was close to the bone. The cow pony squirmed as teeth brushed her bone. Eventually the yellow pegasus had bitten clean through. The severed limb dropped to the floor, followed by a oozing red river of blood. Applejack felt ill again. This time, Fluttershy noticed. She quickly darted into the room containing Spike, grabbed two of his fingers from the floor, and flew back out. She hovered over AJ's head. She plugged one finger in her left nostril and the other finger in her right. Then she wrapped both her hooves over the queasy pony's mouth.

"Go on, let it all out" Fluttershy said, smiling eerily. And she did. The putrid bile shot up her throat and hit the inside of her mouth, unable to escape as Fluttershy held it shut. Slowly the bile filled up Applejack's mouth, flooding up past her tonsils and expanding her cheeks. It had nowhere to go. It sat there in her mouth. She squirmed, trying desperately to open her mouth. It was no use. She began to feel light headed. Her eye flickered. She tried her best to stay conscious, but it was no use. Eventually her squirming stopped and her eyelids fell shut.

"Quite a sickening end" Fluttershy said out loud to nopony. She smirked a little. She then picked up AJ's severed hind leg that she casually tossed aside earlier. She positioned it above AJ's head, so the jagged bone edge was pointing down. Then she pushed. It slowly broke through her skull and brain and eventually touched the floor.

"Just to make sure" Flutts said, as she watched a pool of red liquid form around Applejack's head."Now then, time for the main event" She thought, as the door downstairs burst open.

"Fluttershy, give me Spike and Applejack now!" A familiar voice shouted from below.

And Applejack bites the dust. Will Twilight be able to outwit Fluttershy, or will she become Fluttershy's next meal? Will the princess read Spike's message in time to save the day? Will Spike make it out alive? All will be answered in the next, last chapter of Slaughter Die! Thanks everyone for reading this story and I'm hoping your all enjoing it.
