With the loud snap of bone, the sharp edge of my necklace digs into his left forearm, his scream tearing into my ears as his friend in jeans and a black shirt stumbles back, the tip of the outstretched metal torc slashing across his stomach.
As they each take a single step away, I reverse the swing of my improvised weapon, wings straining to add force to the attack.
I am grimly rewarded with a scream cut short, as the second blow connects just below the arm that still holds the trunk lid open, causing him to drop it.
I watch two of his ribs cave in, noting in numb indifference that such a blow could potentially be fatal.
The newcomer draws a metal rod, some sort of bludgeon, which he strikes out with, hitting the trunk as it lowers, the metallic report sounds like a gunshot.
I dive out of the car, letting the chain that trails behind me stop the lid from latching, as I slam into my kidnapper's chest, riding him to the ground.
I barely feel the first blow against my back, as my hooves swing on their own, slamming hard metal and scorching crystal against him.
The second blow against my back sends me sprawling against the now bloody man, but I have enough strength to press the necklace against his cheek, and watch sickly smoke rise from the point of contact, further blows against my neck and head leave me dazed, and I realize that I have been screaming, my throat raw, snarling like an animal. Noise returns to me as my consciousness catches up with me, shouting and my assailant’s howling cries of pain shaking me to the core.
I manage to pull the element back, clipping it around my neck, just before a piercing pain proceeds a shock, which leaves me limp and immobile.
I take the pain of my necklace burning through my coat, as I am dragged away from the sobbing man, whose cheek bears a scorched butterfly to the muscle beneath.
It is a mockery of everything I am.
I lay still as they beat me, my body shaking uncontrollably and clutching at itself in a futile attempt to hide from their furious eyes. I cooperate as they shackle me to bolts buried deep in concrete, on a filthy mattress in a tiny dark room.
I don't bother to cry, as they spit on me, and tell me that I will die here.
Why does it matter? I am not the one that my friends need. I am something different now.
I am something broken, and burnt by rage.

I just realized that you read almost my whole story in 12 hours. Nice job.
3843785
That's an average of 10000 words an hour or 166 words per minute. Easy.
Well then...
Keep up the work
3851510 Fan art, really? I would be incredibly flattered!
Read from the 9th chapter to 23th chapter nawww stop and that took 10 maybe 8 hour reading loving the story keep it up
oww have a derpy day
Yes, Discord is manipulating her, Fluttershy can fight if she needs to, this Fluttershy... is broken...
So much for escaping, but here's hoping the other team finds you in time or a new one pops up.

Sorry if this chapter is sort of odd, I am still editing it to match with chapter 0.
This is swiftly becoming one of my favourites!
Jesus Christ, what is even going on anymore.
Is this the same story? Talk about a shift in tone.
I don't dislike it, but it's certainly jarring... Still enjoyable though. I've always enjoyed a mean (understatement of the century) Fluttershy.
3900528 You are welcome! Sorry chapter 1-6 are still unedited, I'm working on them, slowly but surely.
3891807 This latest chapter was, surprisingly, the easiest to write out of the last 10 or so. Not only was I able to write it without interference from the collab partners, but I was able to show how opposed Erishy's very nature is to the situation she has been put in.
3900854 Well, this is a self-insert, right? I feel it was easier due to how much of your own (not saying literally, but more as the way you see yourself here) self you put in it.
Not to mention this was rather short and more of a monologue than anything actually happening in general... I think.
What is this? I don't even.
3917250 I'm sorry, but I don't understand this comment.
3927890 , I guess we're even, because I don't understand this chapter.
3927936 So, the chapter before did not set up the idea that combat was about to take place?
3928005 , No, it didn't.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound condescending due to my lack of understanding the correlation of events.
I'm not really in any position to criticize such a choice of written events considering how often I've written a fight scene without proper buildup.
It just seemed to happen so fast.
...
I need to go to bed earlier. Never mind me.
3931787 This is as dark as my story will get, in fact things are going to get more introspective and philosophical again quite shortly.
3987660 it's a part of character development. This attitude is temporary and she only holds onto it during a moment of bitter anger.
3992051 hey! Thanks for so diligently reading my story, and I'm glad you have enjoyed it, but I do want to let you know that Pinkie and Gilda are written (mostly) by other authors. If you go to the group page you should be able to find the stories from their perspective.
3992116 As some other people have pointed out, the phrase has been used before by other people, so its not really mine, but you can certainly use it!
This took a left turn into Dark St. after making a wrong turn from I'm Confused Ln. It's okay Fluttershy, I too have beaten someone to death before... I mean what? Forget I said that.
Well, I read through it all in one sitting after not having slept for around 28 hours. Well, that's when I started. I hope anyone going back over the story, or reading it for the first time, likes my random comments on nearly every chapter.
3992101
I'll do that. After I finish Canis Ezo Kage, that is.
Do you have any schedule with posting chapters?
4008270 I do my best to post every two weeks or so, but since this is a collaboration with a great many other authors I do have breaks during which it will be a month between updates.
This chapter needs to be like three times longer, with a lot more blood and body organs flying around, and growing piles of discarded corpses, and a Viking metal rock chorus. Seemingly no limit to the amount of pain inflicted. Screams and lamentations. VALHALLA AWAITS YE
Now I'm actually F****** Want to kill him
People Who Aren't Dead Or Loast Interest In This Fandom Say Hay There's Foals!!
Loast? Sorry I just Realised This.
