Sweetie Belle gains a soul —by Bad Dragon
CHAPTER 9:
Four shackles reached out from the metallic circle and snapped at my hooves, replacing the magic bubbles. “Try not to move too much, hehe.”
Again the way she talks and acts sounds like a pedo.
“Psst!” Twilight pressed a hoof to my muzzle. “Who wants to get tested for mana potential?” Her head leaned close to mine, gracing me with a terrifying grin. “You do!” She bumped me on the snout.
Twilight is terrifying in this story!
My muscles tensed. In the past, when somepony had booped me, the gesture would always make me giggle, but at that moment, I only uttered gasping noises. It took me awhile before I managed to form a full sentence, “I think I need an adult.”
She caressed my mane with a hoof, making my hair stand up. “I am an adult.”
By Celestia 
of course you snuck in a meme.
“I-ll-teach-you-magic,” Twilight sneezed at me and lifted a hoof to her snout. She sheepishly giggled at Spike. “I’m sorry”—shrugging her shoulders, she rolled her eyes at the ceiling—“allergies...”
Geez Spike 
is the only normal one in this story so far.
“That’s beside the point! You know very well what Celestia would do to me if she read your scribblings? It would be like the last time when I built the doomsday device!”
Lmao
“Oh, Spike… I don’t know what I’d do with you…”
“You meant to say without me, right? Right?”
😟😟😟
CHAPTER 10:
Holy crap that was a dark chapter!
CHAPTER 11:
It was a zebra, but it wasn't the zebra that I knew. I yelped at the sight of a stranger above me. The fang-infested mane was red; the same color as her twirling eyes. They danced around as if she wasn’t able to focus on just one thing at a time. A nose bone protruded out from her nostrils. She was adorned with many necklaces, each bearing a different kind of skull.
Hello Witch!
I didn’t know I could drink without swallowing. She was apparently surprised at that, just as I was. I smiled at her.
Ah Shit! Here we go again
“Inserted now is the mole in your soul,” said Xerath. “No longer imprisoned; he’s now on parole. His power in renewing you played the main role. With your frail body augmented you’re now more than whole.”
Dang it. I called that and it still surprises me.
“What you touch is what you taint!” Zecora struck a hoof on the floor. “If there’s any redemption in you, it’s too faint.”
Is this about to become a roast battle??
Zecora still eyed my horn. A tear drifted down her muzzle. She lifted my head with a hoof. “Forget the witch for she is mad.” She turned toward the door. “If she's gone for good, then I am glad!”
Dang Zecora is throwing so much shade at the witch. With good reason probably but still….
The shadows grew ever longer. It felt as if they were stretching from the trees and reaching out to foil my escape.
Finally we get to the creepy/eerie stuff and the voodoo ish magic.
“She also claimed you tried to pee on Twilight’s lawn,” Mummy added. “That should have been our first clue not to trust her. I should have known my Sweetie is decent enough not to do that again.” She ruffled my mane.
Lmao!
You know, I was sometimes surprised at my creation myself. Characters just developed on their own in very peculiar ways. Twilight got very driven, to the point of disregarding others. Spike got super sarcastic. Sweetie Belle detached from reality. Rarity got possessive...
I actually find it a bit scary when I read what I produced. I just want to write about sunshine and rainbows, but it always gets corrupted somehow.
My official stance is that this is how the characters would act if they stopped pretending and threw away their masks.
