Prologue

As Cadance put herself in a cell she placed a phonograph in the cell with her. On it was a wax cylinder with a message for herself. Then she took a drink of the potion she brought with her. All of a sudden she blacked out as the potion’s effects took hold. As she slept three cell doors creaked open releasing her ex-lovers as they went to different parts of the dungeon to look for her.

There were also three stallions trapped in the dungeon with her, a doctor, a policeman, and a priest. They were going to be used as a test to see if she would save them or kill them. One the doctor was in the cells with her, another the priest was in a room locked in a boarded up room in the library, and the last the policeman was chained to a wall in a flooded dungeon cell on the upper floor.

Cadance was still sleeping soundly as one of the suitors walked through the exit of the door near the cells. Each of the suitor had a different reason to find her. The unicorn stallion Alois wanted to make her his for all of eternity. The earth stallion Basile wanted to kill her as revenge for blinding him. Finally the pegasi stallion Malo wanted to devour her as his next meal.

After a while the three captives woke up and began to wonder where they were. The doctor saw he was locked in a cell and he saw a horrible monster walk by several times. The priest found himself in a locked library room with nothing but his clothes and a few books. And the policeman awoke to find out he was chained to a wall and had a ball gag on in a locked cell in a partially flooded room.

Each of the three suitors decided to wait in three areas of the dungeon Cadance had made. Alois chose to stay in the area surrounding the cells where they were kept in case she was hidden somewhere in the cells. Basile chose to stay in the Library back hall way that lead to the basement and hunt for her there. Finally Malo decided to stay in the dungeon are where he could find her easily in the flooded areas.

Each of the suitors have a reason to kill or in Malo’s case eat her. Alois’s reason for wanting to kill her is, because of his self-destructive fixation on Cadance. He would hurt himself to prove his love for her. Another reason was he jealous of the other two on how Cadance loved them more then him. This caused him to want to kill her so he could have her all to himself.

Basile’s reason for wanting to kill Cadance was because he wanted to get revenge on her for blinding him. He was a carpenter before he fell in love with her. Cadance was abused by him so her and the other two suitors decided to get even with him. When Basile awoke he was strapped to a table. Cadance stuck a scalding hot metal rod in each of his eyes as well as the other two suitors.

Malo’s reason to kill her is just so he can eat her. Before he fell in love with Cadance he was an accomplished violin virtuoso. He had a poor performance due to having his love in the audience and this caused him to be heckled and laughed at by the crowd. With his career gone he started to slowly lose his sanity. He is now insane to the point he now practices cannibalism.

Each of them still have some reason for wanting her and have a role in the three. Alois is the infatuated one who wants her all to himself. Basile is the anger and vengeful one on them due to his desire for revenge on her. Malo is the cheerful and insane one as he just want to eat her alive so he can have her as his next meal.

Cadance soon awoke as the potion’s effects wore off. She couldn’t remember why she was here or who put her here. Cadance saw a wax cylinder in the corner of her cell and a phonograph. She put the cylinder in the phonograph and wound it up to hear what the cylinder was record on it.

A voice said, “Welcome to my cabinet of pretrebutation. I have put you here to test my theory of the Equestrian psyche, specifically yours. I shall chaperone you through my cabinet and you will have to make choices as you venture through the cabinet. Will you save them or will you kill them? There are three captives, Doctor Whooves, Father Caramel, and finally Officer Thunderlane. All of them are located in a spot throughout the cabinet’s dungeon. All of them can be saved, but do you have the right judgement to save or leave them to die. Remember that there is always a way to save everyone.”

Cadance thought to herself why someone would leave her here in a cell when she did nothing to them. She saw a note near the cell door. In it was a key and a journal entry.

The note said, “Dear self, if you are reading this then you just woke up. You are the one who left yourself here in the cell with the phonograph. You will face three of you past lovers and do not let them get near you. Each of them will try to kill you if they get the chance.”

Cadance grabbed the key and put it in the lock of her cell door and turned it. She saw that several of the other cells were opened and one of them was till shut. She decided to have a look around before she would make a decision on what to do. She took a moment to clear her mind and looked around hoping to find something to give her clues on what to do.

Cadance look around and decided to go into one of the open cells. When she did she heard the sound of sawing wood and hammering nails. Then she made a staircase up to a spot in the rafters. She did this in case anyone would come in here. Cadance went in to the cell to the left of the one she was just in and saw a message written in blood saying, Forgive Me My Love! Also she heard the noise of a racquet on ball and grunting. In the corner was a racquet and a ball with the name Alois inscribed on them. In the cell to the right she saw a grisly sight. Blood smears and chunks of flesh were in the cell. She also heard the sound of laughing and a violin being played. In the corner opposite of the blood and flesh was broken violin and bow.

Cadance soon heard a sad, worried voice saying, “Is that you my love?”

Cadance quickly got up the stairs she made and hid on the platform in the rafters. She looked and panicked a bit as she saw a mutilated pony enter the room. Cadance saw on a box up here was a note saying, there are three monstrous suitors, Alois, Basile, and Malo. Watch out for these three men.

She heard him say, “Where did you go?”

She gasped in fear and looked away from him.

Suddenly he looked toward the door of the room and said, “Is that you I hear?”

As he left the room Cadance carefully and quietly came down from her perch and looked for a way out. Then she saw a lever near a locked cell. Inside the cell was a man hoping to be freed.

The man said to her, “Cadance please let me out. You have my word as a doctor that I shall give you the best psychiatric care I can provide.”

Cadance pulled the lever to see what would happen and all of a sudden a metal rod slammed down through the doctor and killed him as a ladder fell down. She heard chains rattling as the monster entered the room.

He said to her, “You came for me.”

Cadance took off running as he began to get closer. She saw him exit the room in slow pursuit of her. She entered the room through the other entrance and climbed he makeshift staircase to him from him. All of a sudden she remembered who he was, her ex-suitor Alois.

Alois entered the room and said, “Where did you go? Come Back! Please Come Back!!”

As Alois left the room Cadance carefully and quietly got down. She then made her way to the ladder on the other side of the room. She was halfway up the ladder when he saw her.

Just as she started to move even faster up the ladder he scratched her and angrily said, “NO STAY! Don’t leave again!!!”

Cadance hurried up the ladder and broke the top of it off and hurried down the tunnel to the next area. Alois was left all alone in the first area wanting her to come back even though she never will. Cadance jumped down to the lower area and saw another wax cylinder and a phonograph. Cadance put the cylinder in and wound up the phonograph to hear the first message.

The message said, “Well done did you save him or did you kill him to escape the first part of the test for you; Patience. Now your next test is Wisdom, you shall have to save a priest or kill him. The choice is yours.”

The message ended and Cadance walked down to the next place for her test. She arrived at the basement library and entered to take her next test….

Cadance enter the library and saw eight rooms and one door at the end of the hallway. Cadance went into room one and saw a letter on the table. She put the letter into her bag and looked around and found six tinderboxes. She put them in her bag as well before going over to the room across the hall. The room was dark and she could see a candle on the desk. She lit the candle and saw a slide on the one shelf. It had a picture of a one armed stallion on it.

She entered the third room and saw it had another two slides I it as well as several notes. She took a look at the one slide and saw it was a stallion with a leg missing. The other was of a shield and a sword in mid-air. She then saw the room across the hall was boarded up and voice could be heard inside.

The voice said, “Please can you help me. My name is Father Caramel and that demon Cadance put me in here. The projections shall free me from this place. The projector is in the room next to mine.”

Cadance entered the other rooms and gathered some more items. She found several tinderboxes and one more slide. This one was of a stallion holding something. She saw the final room was also boarded up and an audible growling and clanking chains could be heard. Cadance headed back to the room with the projector. When she put two of the slides in she turned it on and hear a horrifying scream and rattling chains. She guessed that she had accidently killed him.

She heard a voice yell, “You whore Cadance, you tricked me!”

She then went through the door and it slammed shut and locked behind her. Cadance rushed up a ladder to a hiding spot. Then she remembered who the voice belonged to; Basile another one of her suitors.

Basile walked down the hall and yelled, “I will find you, I will kill you, you cunt!

After he left the area Cadance left in search of an exit. She quietly crept down the hall until she accidently knocked over a metal pot. Cadance soon regretted this mistake and rushed to get away. Basile heard the noise and rushed over to hear Cadance running away.

As he chased her he yelled, “I have you now. You won’t get away from me this time.”

After she was well hidden she heard him say, “I found you once I will find you again. This isn’t over yet.”

As he left in the other direction she quietly came down and walked in the opposite direction as him. She made it to another hiding spot and she accidently knocked over a barrel. Much to her dismay Basile heard her.

He yelled, “Found you, you bitch!”

She climbed up the ladder and was grazed by Basile’s hand as he said, Get over here!! I’ll rip you head off like a bottle cap!!”

Cadance stayed quiet and he left the area. She saw that there was a door close to the ladder. She quickly got down and entered the door and locked it behind her. She saw yet another cylinder and phonograph. She wound up the phonograph and waited for the next message.

The message was, “You are doing well did you save him too or did he die as well. The next test is, Reaction Time. A police man is in a cell in the next area to get to him you need to get cog wheel from a room.”

Cadance moved on down the tunnel and saw there was water on the bottom four steps. The door was labeled the dungeon rooms. Cadance entered the room to the next test and prepared herself for the next test…

Chapter 3 Reaction Time

View Online

Cadance walked through the flooded rooms until she saw a room with a gear in it. As she walked in she saw a table and blood stains on it. All of a sudden she had a flashback to what went on here in this room.

Basile, “Ugh my head something was put in the wine I drank.”

Cadance, “Silly Basile, stallions don’t drink wine.”

Basile, “Why am I strapped her to this table?”

Cadance, “Read the script I wrote for you.”

Basile, “Only if you tell me why you strapped me here.”

Cadance, “Just read the script.”

Malo and Alois, “Yes read it you oaf.”

Basile, “Cadance your beauty is blinding”\

Basile, “MY EYES YOU HAVE BLINDED ME YOU ASSHOLES!!!”

Cadance, “Catch me if you can Basile!”

Basile, “I will kill you for this you bitch!”

Cadance saw that it was her who blinded Basile, she then turned her attention to the cogwheel on the wall.

She grabbed it and walked down through the hallways until she heard a voice, “Cadance let me taste you. I grew tired of my own flesh.”

She suddenly remembered who this voice belonged to, Malo the violinist. All of a sudden Cadance suddenly realized the blood and flesh in that cell was his own. She ran down the hall into another hall and closed the steel door and dead bolted it shut.

She heard his voice again saying, “Come out, you will like what I have planned.”

Cadance rushed through another door and did the same just as she heard the last door break open.

She once again heard his voice saying this time in a sing song voice, “Hide and Seek, Hide and Seek.”

Cadance saw a lever and an empty cog spot. She quickly placed it and pulled the lever. The next door opened and she removed the cog and saw the door slowly shutting. Cadance rushed into the next room and heard the previous door burst open.

Malo yelled, “Come here I want you!”

Cadance saw his hand hit her but it was severed by the door as it closed. She rushed down the hall and heard him bashing against the door. She put the cog in its final place and the door opened. She removed it and the door closed just as Malo broke through the last door he was at.

Malo said to her happily through the window in the door, “I see you! Bonjour!”

Cadance heard another man’s voice yell, “Cadance let me out and I will make sure you only get life in prison for this.”

Cadance saw a lever next to the door for his cell and she pulled it. The door rose and she heard a terrifying sound Malo had broken down the door around the corner. She ran leaving the poor officer to be eaten by Malo. Cadance was almost to the final door when she heard the officer yell as he was devoured by Malo.

Malo yelled down the tunnel, “Thank you Cadance for the appetizer. Now for the main course you!!”

Cadance passed a lever as she entered the final room and pulled it. All of a sudden a loud noise could be heard. She finally remembered that the lever causes a rock fall to block the door and the top of the stairs.

Cadance heard a faint yell, “Cadance we want you back!!”

Followed by a loud splashing in the water which she assumed was the three suitors fighting in the water. She saw one more phonograph with a wax cylinder in it. Cadance wound it up and heard the last message.

The last message was, “How many of the captives did you save 1, 2, all of them, or did you kill them all.

Cadance saw that she had completed the trials of the dungeon she was in. She walked through her family’s crypt and saw her mom and dad’s graves here in a private room with an angel statue in it. She exited the room and walked up the stairs and entered her mansion once more.

Her maid asked, “Was there anyone else down there Cadance?”

Cadance replied, “Why no there wasn’t, silly Lyra.”

Lyra asked, “Do you want me to finish setting up for the party?”

Cadance replied, “Why yes I do they will be here any minute now.”

Cadance was glad to see that she was still alive. She knew the suitors couldn’t get through a twenty foot long, six foot wide, and ten foot tall rock wall. She had even boarded and bricked up the door to the Cabinet of Pretrebutation. Cadance was happy to see that she had escaped death several times in one day.

Just as she started to move even faster up the ladder he grabbed her and angrily said, “NO STAY! Don’t leave again!!!”

Cadance suddenly fell as she was yanked off of the Ladder. By the time she got her bearings she saw him get very close to her. Cadance knew this was the end of her life.

Alois said to her, “Hush now it is all right.”

Alois swung his arm and slashed he throat open and Cadance saw as she blacked out her blood pouring out of the wound. After a minute of bleeding out she was dead. Her soul stayed in the room to find out what Alois would do to her lifeless body. She was surprised to see him pick her up and put her in his cell.

Alois soon laid down next to her dad body and sang a lullaby to her dead body, “Hush now, quiet now, It's time to lay your sleepy head, hush now, quiet now, Its time go to bed.”

Alois was soon fast asleep next to his greatest treasure. Cadance was surprised to see that her killer was loving her as if she was still alive. She saw this happy sight and decided to watch over the two for all of eternity.

Cadance stayed quiet and he left the area. She saw that there was a door close to the ladder. She got down and tried to open the door saw it was stuck. This was the only exit out of the room and she was trapped. Things got even worse when she heard clanking chains coming her way.

Basile walked toward her and knocked the ladder down so she could not hide from him. Cadance ran over to the other ladder and climbed up it. As he got near her he destroyed the ladder to make it harder for her to escape. The next time he also blew out all lighting in the room so she couldn’t see him coming.

Cadance made one last effort to escape and ran over to the door to try to break it down. She heard chains rattling and panicked and tried to break it down even harder, but it was too late.

Basile happily said, “Now it is time for your just desserts Cadance.”

Cadance said to him, “Basile I am so sorry please have mercy!”

Basile laughed and said, “I would have mercy on you if you hadn’t burned my eyes out of their sockets. Now it is time to DIE!”

Basile grabbed her by the arm and ripped it off as it were a twig. Cadance screamed as she felt him rip off her other arm. He then ripped her head off and laughed at how easy it popped off.

Basile said to the decapitated head of Cadance, “You thought you could escape my revenge, didn’t you!”

Basile walked over to the passageway to the cells he had used. As he arrived with Cadance’s head in his grasp he heard Alois crying.

Basile asked him, “What is the matter with you?”

Alois replied, “Cadance escaped my love for her and I miss her.”

Basile handed Alois Cadance’s head to him and said, “Cadance told me to give this to you.”

Alois asked, “What is it and why is it wet?”

Basile replied, “Her head, she told me before I killed her to give you her head.”

Alois said, “Thank you Basile, now she is mine forever and ever.”

Malo yelled, “Come back and join me for dinner Cadance!

Cadance yelled, “Never.”

Then it got worse he almost had caught up to her and she could hear his chains very loudly. Then it got much worse Cadance tripped on a stair and by the time she got up he had grabbed her. She begged him to let her go, but he refused to let go of his dinner.

Malo said, “Cadance I hear the dinner bell ringing and you are the main course.”

Cadance watched as he opened his mouth and bit her on the next. She suddenly blacked out and within seconds she was dead.

Malo said to the dead body, ”You are wonderful Cadance.”

Malo was soon devouring her dead body and within an hour he burped and rubbed stomach and left a bloodied skeleton behind as he went down to finish off the police officer. He laughed as he held her skull and made it into a necklace to show that he had a wonderful taste of his mare friend.
