A Second Chance

Chapter 6 Bloody Fun

Sky felt the ground shake as she waited for Trixie to return from the vault. It felt like she had
been sitting there for ages, her wings had gone complety numb in the process.

"Well looks like she chose." She said with a sad sigh.

Her ears perked up to the sound of hooves clicking against stone. She quickly moved to the
door and threw it open as Trixie came into view.

"SKY I GOT IT!" Trixie screamed as the floor continued to fall away from behind her.

"Hurry Trixie!"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK TRIXIE IS DOING!" She yelled as she made a head long dive for
the door.

Trixie hurteled through the air as the vault collapsed around her, landing just outside of the
door as the last blocks tumble into the empty blackness. Sky closed the door as the vacuum
of the vault began to pull strongly against her and Trixie.

"Are you ok Trixie?"

"Murph." Trixie mumble from under a pile of scrolls.

Sky rushed over and began pulling off the massive amount of scrolls that had fallen onto
Trixie from the shelf above. After pulling off a few dozen thick scrolls Trixie's head shoot
up out from the pile gasping for breath.

"Why...didn't you....tell me....about that part." Trixie panted.

"Trixie I swear I didn't know it would collapse." Sky swore as she pulled Trixie out of the heap.

"Ok but why did it?"

"Its probably a safety feature is my best guess." Sky answered as her horn began to glow
as the scrolls floated back onto the shelf.

"Has that ever happened to you and Keeps?"

"No. Of course we always fly so we've never had that probelm." Sky said with a shrug.

"Well I don't have wings."

"Do you what some?" Sky asked as she trotted back over to Trixie.

"You can do that?" Trixie said dumfounded.

"No, but there's probably a spell in here that would give you wings." Sky said shruging again.

"I think I would like to get out of here before I'll take the wings." Trixie sighed.

"Oh yeah, did you get the box?"

"Yeah, here." Trixie said floating Sky the glass box she had been carrying.

"Good now we can get Keeps to....help us. Trixie this is.." Sky stammered

"I know, it seemed more important that you have it back."

"SD soul." Sky mumbled as tears began to fall from here eyes. "Trixie you gave up leaving
purgatory to...to....to."

"Help you? Yeah."

"Why?"

"Sky so far if I'm honest you and Sage have been my only friends in a long time." Trixie said,
her muzzle turning sightly red.

"But to give up your chance to leave this place?"

"It's worth it." Trixie said as her horn lit up. "Especially when you can have your cake and eat
it to." She hummed as she float a wirthing bag from around her neck.

Sky's gaze shifted from Trixie, to the bag, then back to Trixie. Sky felt her jaw unhinge and fall
to the floor causing Trixie to giggle.

"How...did...you."

"I am The Great and Powerful Trixie after all Sky." Trixie said with a little grin. "So not only do
you have your soul back you get to cut open Keeps chest."

"Trixie if there's a ring in that bag of tricks of your's the answer is I do." Sky said in disbelief as
she shook her head.

"Well arn't you going to open the box Sky?"

"Oh of course." She said as she began to swing the box up and down. "Ok, one, two, THREE."
Sky said as she smashed the glass against her head causing the box to shatter.

"Why did you open it like that!"

"Cause I though it would be fun." Sky said with a grin as blood trickeled down her face.

Trixie just sighed as the mist that was Sky's soul rapped around the mares frame. At first it just
hung there glowing softly then it collapsed into her. Sky's body began to shake violently as if she
was experiencing a earthquake nopony else could feel. The green sea washed away from her
coat as toffe seem to float over her fur, staining it a sweet tan color. Her mane seem to loss some
of its neon but still hold its light as it dimed to a royal blue, Her eyes still spining ever changing
patterns of color and shape, sparkling at every touch of light.

"OOOoooo what a wonderful feeling to be whole again." Sky plesently moaned as she cracked
her neck.

"So are you ready Sky?" Trixie asked looking at the new and whole Sky.

"Why yes of course." Sky said as she pulled out a bowe knife from thin air. "Let's go get my
Keeps back." She said with a twisted grin of joy.

o~o~O~O~o~o

"So you know the plan then?" Sky whispered to Trixie.

"Yes you do the bloody bit while I cast the spell so he can't escape."

"Good and Trixie."

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how I'll ever pay you back for this." Sky whispered as a tear streamed down her
cheek.

"First let's get me out of here then will decuss that. Agreed?"

"Agreed." Sky whispered noding.

They made there way to the counter, staying as quite as they could. Trixe reached the counter
first and and began to go over the spell one more time. Sky followed suit and slowly peeked her
head over the counter making sure she could get to Keeps quickly. They both nodded and put
there plan in motion.

Trixie rose from behind the counter, book in hoof and shouted. "Ligaveris super terram manducat.
Rapiunt in manibus tenent nolunt dimittere eos." Her horned glowed brightly and energy arched
toward Keeps rapping around his body.

"Relase me!" He shouted as Sky's knife decended apon his chest.

The was a loud crack as the blade pirced his sterum causing Keeps to shout out in pain. But there
was nothing he could do as Sky's hooves pulled his rib cage apart. Keeps cold blood spurted all
over Sky's body but this didn't stop her, it only fueled her lust for more. With a wicked grin she
pulled Keeps heart from the burlap bag and plunged it deep into his chest. Keeps eyes shout
open, darkness shooting out of them as Sky jolted his heart back into life. Then he stopped
struggling as his muscles slackened and as his chest began to magical seal shut.

"Did it work?" Trixie asked from behind the counter.

"Eeyup." Sky said as she poked her head up so Trixie could she her.

"Uuh Sky, could you get off my chest please?" A voice mumbled.

"Oh sorry Keeps." She said as she sheaved her now extremely bloody knife

Trixie peeked over the counter and watched as Sky got off of Keeps and watched him stand.
He looked pretty much the same as before but his features seemed to have soften. His eyes
nolonger cast a eerie light but had a loving warmth about them.

"Sky your covered in blood! What happened?" He asked, concern filled his voice.

"Oh nothing, just was playing around that's all." She said nuzzling him.

"Oh is that all you've been doing?" He asked rolling his eyes.

"Eeyup." Sky replied with a small grin.
