Backwards: Insanity is not Sane

Of Insanity, Fear, and Hatred

Twilight screamed when she heard her say that. She was trapped in her room, with that crazed mare, who was nothing like Fluttershy. What she just said sent tears dripping down her cheeks.
She spotted the door, and made a dart for it, in time to also hear Rainbow Dash scream.

She couldn't let that mare follow her to Rainbow Dash, with how she was acting, only Celestia knows what would happen!

She shot out the door, and ran down the stairs. Sweat dripping down the sides of her temples, they mixed with her tears.
The screeches from the mare behind her made her run faster than she thought possible. Her hooves fumbled, she had to go somewhere, Fluttershy was catching up. The only alternative was Rainbow's room, if she went there, maybe she could protect the cyan mare if that came to it, and possibly have another chance to help Fluttershy.

Making a sharp turn, she darted back up the stairs, the yellow pegasus hot on her trail. Twilight's eyes were wide with fear, as she hears a malicious laugh, and the sound of a knife blade, only moments after to have one slice the air above her head, sinking its sharp metal edge into the wall in front of her.

She sighs in relief, but that doesn't last long. She sees how close Rainbow Dash's room is ahead of her, and she speeds up slightly, now at her top speed, almost as fast as Rainbow could run on the ground, no wings included.

She crashed through the door, landing into a dark room, Fluttershy now much farther behind her.

In front of her was the blue mare, her body sitting down, facing the wall, completely still, until there was a whisper, and Dash got up.

As she turned, a large grin plastered across her face, the thudding of hooves outside came closer.

Her eyes blood-shot, shrunk to small beads. The mere sight of her was horrifying , she didn't look terrified, panic-stricken, or shattered. Her cheeks were still tear-stained, but she showed no sadness, only a look of pure insanity.

Twilight was frozen in place, once again. She stuttered, and stared at her, there was silence, until Rainbow spoke.

"Rest well sleep well you will never wake again!" There was a maniacal laugh that echoed around the room, but it was cut short when Fluttershy burst into the room, flesh hanging from her still blood-stained teeth.

There were snarls, like wild animals, of pure hatred coming between the two. Whatever was wrong, they were obviously against each other, not helping.

Tattering of claw came from the hallway, Spike peeked through the door, only to be greeted with a purple unicorn galloping over him.

"What's wrong, Twilight?" he screamed, scrambling out of the way from her hooves.

"Fluttershy is here, Rainbow Dash has gone insane, and there both in there!" She motioned with her hoof towards the door.

--------------------------------------

Rainbow Dash growled viciously, stomping her hooves on the ground as she stared at the yellow mare in front of her.
The real her in the mind was fighting, but she too hated what had come of Fluttershy.

This monster had killed her friends.

The blood caked knife in Fluttershy's mouth glistened off the moon beams that shined through the window. Her eyes were beaming with hatred and the fire of vengeance.

The yellow pony leaped forward, only to land on her face, while Rainbow Dash swept upwards towards the ceiling. She came flashing downwards, ramming into her back, the knife came inches from her face.

Fluttershy whipped sideways, now in the air also, they flew in circles around the room. Rainbow Dash landed, remembering the pain in her wings , even though she was not in control, apparently the monster that had taken over inside felt the same way.

Dash ran towards the small nightstand, grabbing a pencil in her mouth, the only thing that was sharp and available.
Rushing forward, the small pencil lead rammed into the yellow pony's eye before she could move out of the way.

There was a loud screech, a wailing of pain, and a loud snort of anger.

Blood dripped onto the floor, pouring down Fluttershy's face. The pencil had stabbed dead center, right through the pupil.
Her eyes was already swollen, nearly closed. But this just enraged the pegasus more.

She ran forward, the knife cut sharply through Dash's side, with a almost silent sound of metal glinting, the thin slice of flesh that had been cut dripped of red crimson.

Rainbow feinted to the right side, only to swoop swiftly towards the right, ramming into her side, knocking the mare off her hooves onto the ground. The burning sensation of where the knife had cut pulsed through her. She sent a hard blow of her hoof at the mare's face, a red liquid now oozed from her nose.

The air smelled tangy, almost like an old copper penny. The room was still dark accept for the moon beams that shined through the window. The dim silver light gleamed off the crimson blood

The cyan blue pegasus held Fluttershy down. The tackled mare thrashed wildly, she was furious, and the insanity had given her strength.

But Rainbow Dash was a well-trimmed, lean, and agile flyer, already she was strong, and the monster that now inhabited her only added more to that.

Laughing menacingly, she sent the pencil at her back, jabbing it into her shoulder blades.

Red opposed the creamy yellow coat. But the same dark crimson way on her own hooves, a mixture of her own and Fluttershy's.

The yellow pony turned to stare at her, with her only good eye -the other was now clamped tightly shut, swollen and red- snarled.

Rainbow Dash grinned, throwing the pencil across the room, now retrieving the long knife blade that Fluttershy had used against her friends.

She teasingly took the blade and gently outlined something on her side, before beginning to cut into flesh - using only the tip - she carved words into the back of the yellow pony. A dark red dripped down the sides, but she kept writing, her eyes wide and a large grin plastered across her face.

Fluttershy screeched and wailed, worse than ever, sounding more and more inhuman - or inpony to say -

When she finished, she raised the knife, and laughed.

----------------------------------------------

Twilight paced anxiously by the door, soon to be greeted with a creaking of a door on old hinges.

In stepped a tall white figure, whose mane continuously flowed with a glistening sheen of four different colors.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student, why have you called me so urgently?" She said, nodding the mare up from a bow.

"Princess, you have to help me! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash have gone insane! My memory spell isn't working. I have tried, and they are upstairs fighting right now. I would have tried to help, but I couldn't I was to scared to move or use my magic!" She said, wailing.

The tall alicorn's eyes widened, before she took a swift pace up the staircase.

----------------------------------------------

Rainbow Dash held the knife, and began to sing.

"Rest well, sleep well, you will never wake again!"

The words echoed around the room for a few moments, only to have the air fill with the sound of metal digging into flesh, blood spattering everything within reach, and a gasp for air that turned slowly into a sigh.

She smiled, as the one good eye slowly rolled upwards, leaving only a round white disc, blood-shot, but white.

She stepped off, dark red spattered across her chest, face, and legs.

Closing her eyes momentarily and taking in a soft sigh, her peace was interrupted by a door slamming open.

In the door stood a tall white figure with a flowing mane, a long unicorn's horn, and wings stretched far apart.
