Chapter 3: The Inspection
Shock was all we could for nearly a whole minute. It was a miracle we weren't any closer to the corpse otherwise one of us might a fainted from being disturbed. Finally, Celestia spoke.
"This body was found over 5 hours ago, by her partner. We have to body where it is until you had arrived."
I could only stand there in shock. That was until I started walking without knowing it. i felt like someone needed to sort this out and if no one else was going to do it then it should be me.
The closer I walked to the stage, the louder the noise could become. I didn't notice it at first but, someone was crying. I walked up to the front of the stage and looked right. Two people were sitting on the stalls, one of them was crying while the over was caring for her, coating her in a towel from shock. The one caring looked like a police officer, clearly here for the inspection. The other, a pale women with lighting blue hair, she had a pair of purple sunglasses on her head. She was wearing a white non-sleeved shirt and a set of deans.
"Why, sob why did it have to happen to her" I heard her cry. Who ever she was she clearly was close to the victim.
"Excuse miss. I'm sorry to bother you at such a hard moment but can I ask you a few question?" I asked felling a little bit dead inside. How could I just say that?!
" Yes, sob yes you can." I sat next to her and grabbed hold of her knee gently. I took out my notepad and a pencil and started asking her my questions.
"name?"
"Vinyl, Vinyl Scratch." She was calming down a little bit but I didn't stop her from crying. I had yet to wonder what her mage ability was but I didn't think that was necessary at the moment.
"Occupation?"
"Sound illusionist. I create music using Illusions to the ear."
"Okay, and can I ask how you are connected to the victim?" At this point she looked at me in anger and lept at me.
"SHE HAS A NAME." she clearly cared for this person. I felt so stupid. I haven't been bothered to ask what the victims name was. "HER NAME IS OCTAVIA. AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUST CALL HER A VICTIM."
"I... I'm... sorry." I felt so guilty at this point.
"No. I should be. She was my partner." She starting crying again at this point. But I was still confused.
"A partner in what, in music, business, what?" Now I really did feel stupid, it was obvious. I thought I had offended her. But I begged to differ.
"My partner, as in, my lover." I could her pain, even though I had never lost anyone in my life so important.
"That, that should be enough questions for now, sorry for interrupting your time." I closed my notepad and placed it back in my pocket. I had never done detective work before apart from that time me and Pinkie with the MMM.
As I stood up I saw something on the stage. Not only was the corpse of "Octavia" butchered. But the cupcake next to her was not on her own. From afar I didn't see it but up close it was as clear as crystal. There were two cupcakes. The one I had seen was very dull and boring but clearly had a meaning. It had a Gray case, with black frosting. Octavia was wearing a very fromal suit which was grey and she had black hair. Now I saw the killers trade mark, the cupcake resembled to victim. The other had a dark grey/brown case but instead of black frosting it looked sort of goldy, yellow. Was this the look of the next victim. I couldn't tell.
"cuse me Princess, but what has this got to do with us?" said Rainbow Dash in quite a disrespectful way. If Vinyl had heard her, she probably been in hospital in about 2 seconds.
"Because you are the trustful people I know." Celestia did not look happy with what Rainbow had said, but it was a fair point.
"But why a cupcake?" Said Applejack
"I don't kno...." I interrupted Rarity at this just so they had got the message.
"Why two cupcakes, one of which resembles the victim. The other resembles who's next." Applejack, had a shock on her face when she heard this, but I don't think it was because of that. I think she realised something.
"I know that this is crazy talk but." she hold her breath seconds for us to prepare for what it was we were going to here. "What if was Mr. and Mrs. cake. I don't any other people out there that would leave a cupcake behind as a symbol."
I thought she was insane for a couple of seconds, but it made sense. And it didn't. I didn't want to jump to conclusion but I had no choice. We all ran to the train station with Fluttershy trying to catch up along with a few Royal Canterlot guards.
We arrived at Ponyvile in 2 hours time. Once the train stopped we all jumped out of the train and ran as quickly as possible to Sugar Cube Corner. The Guards slammed open the door and grabbed hold of Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cake. We are arresting you on suspension of murder. You do not have to say anything but anything you do say will be given in evidence." Mrs Cake had such a massive shock on her face that she couldn't even speak. Mr. Cake was mostly confused about the situation, he couldn't stop asking questions but none of them were answered. I felt even more guilty now then I did with Vinyl and her girlfriend Octavia. Imagine how Pinkie Pie would have reacted to this. At that point I had realised something. I found out who the next victim was.
"IT'S CRANKY." Who else would had it been. Gold hair, he wears a golden wig which resembled to the golden frosting. I ran as fast as I could until I reached Cranky Doodle Donkey's house. I knocked on the door, but no response. I tried again, but as before, no response. At this point I grew impatient. I broke down the door only to be shocked once more.
He was dead.
