Chapter 18: Cupcakes

I woke up slowly. From the moment I started to regain consciousness, I could tell something was wrong. My cape was missing, and my hooves and wings were tied to a table. I opened my eyes, and saw Pinkie with a straight mane. I knew I shouldn't have told Ember not to worry.

"Pinkie Pie? What's going on here?" I quickly asked in fear. I knew I could free myself, but for the time being, it was the best choice to let Pinkie do what she wanted. Pinkie quickly turned to me.

"It's about time your awake, but it's also my mistake. I might have put too many pills in that." Pinkie said.

"You drugged me!?" I hissed. "Oh you are going to get it!" I tried to cast a dark magic spell at her, but it didn't work. "Did you cut off my horn?" I growled.

"No, silly, I like to keep the horns, so I put an anti magic brace on." She giggled. She walk to me.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, I at least wanted some information.

"You know that 'special ingredients' I told you about?" She asked. I nodded. "Well, they are ponies. I pull numbers, except when I find the perfect candidit, and you're it!" She announced. I gave her a questioning look. She walked next to me and pulled at my wing.

"Would you not do that?" I demented.

"That's not the correct question, where did you get these from? I thought you were a unicorn, not one of Luna's night guards." She said.

"I am a unicorn, and I didn't have these wings forever, I made them a few weeks ago." I said. Pinkie smiled wider.

"Made?"

"Dark magic. I stole dark magic books back in Canterlot." I said.

"Impressive."

"Watch this." I said playfully and made the restraints open and free me. I stretched my legs and wings. "Could you get this brace off?" I asked. Pinkie stared at me in confusion.

"How did you do that?" She asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm also a chaos bringer. Surprised? So was I!" I joked with her. Pinkie picked up something large, I knew she was going to hit me with it and mutilate me if I didn't do anything to stop her. "Now before you do anything too quickly, you know the disappearances of Spike and Zecora?" I quickly asked.

"Yeah, and I didn't do it, so I'm curious of their deaths too." She said and lowered the object.

"I did it." I said quickly.

"What?"

"I stabbed Zecora in the chest multiple times and Spike and played with." I said. Pinkie smiled.

"You have potential." She said.

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, with a little training, I could help you become just like me!" She announced. "I mean, your cutie mark shows that you can, are you interested?" She asked. I thought for a moment and shrugged.

"Why not?"

"Okay, I have the perfect foolproof plan."

"For what?"

"For what, she says!" She laughed. "Well, with that cutie mark of yours and those wings, you can't go out in public, everypony is suspicious of your cape anyway, so I can get Rarity to make a morning outfit for me, we'll fake your death and you can wear it whenever you want. Just say you are in mourning." She explained. "Besides, I'll just blame my 'ADHD'."

"Wait, you don't have ADHD?" I asked. She nodded.

"Correct, I just act like that so I don't lash out, and if I continue the act, I can still get my drugs." Pinkie sighed.

"Wait, you have an addiction?" I asked, slightly concerned for her.

"It's only small, I swear. I mostly use the pills to knock ponies out." She admitted. My eyes widened, but then I gave her an intense glare of anger.

"You drugged me with ADHD meds?" I growled.

"In my defense I didn't know you would want to do what I do!" She hissed back. "Anyway, do you have a family?"

"Just my parents, but they've moved to Saddle Arabia and I know they aren't coming back."

"Perfect, you have a new sister, make up a name." She said as she found some sort of alcohol. She threw a bottle at me and I caught it with my magic. Without looking at it, I started to drink it.

"Star Aura." I announced. Pinkie smiled.

"Perfect." She said in her sing-songy voice.

"And death?"

"Same as my victims, same as yours, disappearance." She said. I thought for a moment.

"Ember..." I said. Pinkie smiled.

"I'll go do my hair, I threw your cape next to my tools." Pinkie said. She took another sip before heading upstairs. I set mine down before looking at her tools. I found my cape and put it on.
