The Beast Within

Chapter Eight

The day was approaching 1 in the afternoon, the morning seemed to fly by. Rarity and Fluttershy’s parents just arrived back at the cottage after a lovely lunch down at Sugarcube Corner. Rarity’s blood has been boiling ever since Pinkie Pie told her about what Fluttershy was really up to last weekend. She couldn’t believe she lied to her, lied to her about where she was and that she still talked to her ex. It made her think, what else was she hiding from her?

Mr Shy, as usual, made a very hurtful comment about Pinkie Pie when they left her bakery, about how sinful she is and that she needs to get some help by sending her to some sort of camp that would help her break out of her ‘phase’ of being attracted to the same sex. ” He’s really starting to get on my last nerve, how does Mrs Shy put up with him?” Rarity thought to herself as she had made her way inside the kitchen to clean up the mess that Sweetie Belle made while cooking breakfast. Mr Shy followed her in and takes his seat at the island to read the morning newspaper,

The two ponies were in total silence, barring the occasional cough that came from Mr Shy. It wasn’t too long until Mrs Shy entered the kitchen, “Hey, I'm just going to take a shower and go lie down for a few hours, is that alright with you two?” She asked the two. Mr Shy responded with just a nod, not answering her,

Rarity just groaned at his response before turning her attention to the older mare, “Of course that’s perfectly alright Mrs Shy,” She gave her a soft smile, “You know where you’re heading right?”

“I do, and I’d like to thank you for treating us out for lunch today, it was very lovely,” Mrs Shy said as she smiled back at her. She leaves the kitchen and made her way upstairs,

Just as she left and Rarity turned back to the sink to begin putting the dishes away. Mr Shy spoke up, “Hey Unicorn? Do you mind getting me a drink?” He asked her which had prompted the mare to roll her eyes,

“You do realise that I have a name?” Rarity used her magic to levitate a glass from within the cupboard to the sink, “I find it very rude of you to call me that,”

“You respond so well to me when I call you unicorn, so I’m going to keep calling you it,” Mr Shy flicked to another page of the newspaper, “You wanna know something?”

“No” Rarity quickly responded,

“I trust these newspapers with my life,” He looked up at the mare, “They’ve never been wrong,”

“Isn’t that a bit much?” Rarity gives him the glass that is now filled with water, “You can’t always trust newspapers you know?”

“Well I trust them with my life! I remember this one time, a bright young colt dropped off a newspaper that his school did, The Foal Free Press was it? Well, while reading one of the articles I noticed that they did a section on Fluttershy,” He takes the drink off Rarity and takes a swig, “At first I was actually proud of her for once, but that changed when I saw it was about her use of tail extensions. Completely 100 percent true,”

“Seriously?” Rarity asked him as Mr Shy places the glass down and nodded at her, looking up at her,

“Yeah, she had begged and begged me for them when she was younger. Now she never leaves the house without them, frankly it's a huge improvement to her looks,” Mr Shy then turns the newspaper again, however, his face turned sour, “However, sometimes I wish the newspaper wasn’t true. This is unacceptable,” He said as he holds up the page, “Princess Luna dating her head guard? Happens to also be another mare? Fucking dykes the lot of them! What’s next? Princess Celestia is like them as well?” He growled as Rarity gritted her teeth at his comment, her horn starts to glow slightly, “They shouldn’t be able to express themselves so freely like this, it’s disgusting! What are the children going to think?!”

Rarity just had enough of him, “You know what…” Her magic grips the handle of a frying pan, “I’ve had just about enough of your insensitive, homophobic comments and your bullshit,” Soon as she said that Mr Shy turned around, but before he could comment on what Rarity said she took a full swing at him. The back of the pan smashed around his head causing the male to fly off his chair and landed face-first on the ground. The sound of his skull cracking echoed throughout the kitchen as he laid motionless,

Rarity’s eyes glanced down at the man as she dropped the frying pan to the ground. It seemed to fall in slow motion, as though time itself slowed down, it soon however clanged against the floor making time resume its normal pace. The unicorn took a few steps back, her legs shaking, her breathing fast, “What did I just do…” Rarity then saw something, just beside his head was a small stream of blood, “Holy fuck! Shit! Bitch! Cunt!” She began panicking. What would any sane pony do? “I need to hide him…” She glanced around the room in search of a hiding place,

Just then, her eyes laid upon the kitchen closet, a place that she has never seen Fluttershy go into… A perfect place, hiding him in there until dark would open opportunity to sneak him out and dump him deep into the Everfree Forest in hope that Timberwolves would clean up her mess. Her horn glowed once again as she grasped the handle with her aura. She opens it and takes a peek inside to see if it was big enough to hide him, “He better not be heavy or I swear…” She walked over to the side of him and starts to drag him across the kitchen floor, “ Fuck me he is heavy! What does he eat?!” She asked no one in particular. Just as she was about to get him inside the closet she heard a knock at the front door, “Oh no… Please not now!”

She quickly drops the body down and hurries along towards the living room, she ended up accidentally standing in the blood puddle along the way, soaking her coat. She arrived at the door only to hear the knock again, “Hold on! I’m COMING!” She opened the door to see a stallion, who wasn’t even looking, “Oh? Hello?”

He turned to face her, “You’re not Fluttershy? Have I got the wrong house?” He turns back around to have a look at the pathway,

“No you haven’t, she’s at a doctors appointment this morning. Who are you?” Rarity asked him,

“Oh, sorry I'm Fluttershy's boyfriend, Dumbbell. Can I come in?” Rarity then gritted her teeth at his statement, “I can just wait for her in the living room,”

“I’m sorry, but she doesn’t need you anymore,” Rarity said to him which causes an eyebrow to be raised at her,

“Who are you then?” Dumbbell asked her as he moves his face towards her to confront her,

“My name doesn’t concern you but what does concern me however is you’re walking around claiming to be Fluttershy’s boyfriend when you know full damn well that you’re not dating her,” Dumbbell then looked the mare up and down, his eyes stumbling onto her blood-covered hooves,

“What happened to you?” He asked her as he points to her front hoof, “That looks like a lot of blood,”

“It was just a kitchen incident, I accidentally cut my hoof while putting some knives away,” Rarity lied to him, “Now while I fully appreciate you coming down to help Fluttershy. I want you to go back to your house, she doesn't need you,”

“And she needs someone like you? I want to see Fluttershy,” He barged past her making her stumble back, “So I’m waiting for her in the living room,”

“I’ve asked you to leave, so please, remove yourself,” Rarity said to him as she watched the stallion walk towards the sofa,

"Listen here and listen good, I’ve been asked to come down by Mr Shy to help Fluttershy through this difficult time. So. I’m staying,” He takes a seat on the sofa,

"Urgh,” Rarity groaned to herself as she decided to leave him. She made her way back into the kitchen

The smell of metallic filled the entire room as blood continued to ooze from his head. Rarity had to hide him and fast. She made her way back to his body and resumes where she left off. As she was pulling his body closer and closer to the closet, her magic grips onto a sharp kitchen knife, ” Got to make it seem like I actually hurt myself,” She thought to herself as she places the knife into the pool of blood. Soon enough she was able to stuff him inside the closet. She closed and locked the door, she's sighs heavily to herself, ” Now to wait until it’s dark… Celestia dammit… I feel awful… I just killed her dad! First her brother was killed now her dad!”

Just then something broke her out of her thoughts, “Wow, that’s a lot of blood,” Rarity turned around to see that it was Dumbbell who interrupted her thoughts, “You must have cut yourself deep,”

“You said you’d wait in the living room, so why are you here?!” Rarity yelled at the pegasus, “Go back into the living room!” This prompted the stallion to chuckle at her before walking to the fruit bowl,

“Only wanted some fruit, is that a crime?” He smirks and made his way out of the kitchen,

” At least he’s seen it. It’s slightly more believable, I hope he doesn’t ask to see the cut…” Rarity then used her magic to levitate some towels over,

However, before she could start cleaning up the mess she heard something from within the living room, “D-Dumbbell!” The front door closes, “W-What are you doing here?” It was Fluttershy, Rarity glanced up at the clock,

” Is her appointment already done?! It’s only been an hour! I’m sure appointments are a lot longer than that…” Rarity hadn’t even had a chance to go over what she was going to tell her about the recent news that she discovered,

“Your dad invited me over to make sure you’re okay, so here I am, your knight in shining armour,” Rarity practically gagged at what he said,

“While I appreciate the kind gesture… But I don’t need you,” Fluttershy said back to him,

"That’s the exact same thing that the stuck up unicorn said to me,” He scoffed,

"She’s not stuck up…” Rarity could hear the anger in her voice, “I said that I don’t need you, so please can you leave?”

"But, I’ve come all this way for nothing then,” He groans, “Oh, your suck up friend has cut herself. You might need to go help her, there was a lot of blood,”

There was a moment of silence, “First, you need to leave,”

Rarity looked down at her hooves and then at the blood puddle. She needed it to be more believable… She has to cut herself… She quickly levitated the knife off the ground and used a rag to clean off Mr Shy’s blood, ” I can’t believe I’m seriously about to do this…” She sits down and braced herself for the pain,

She brought the clean knife towards her left front hoof, touching the tip of the knife to her skin. Slowly bringing it down, piercing the skin she grits her teeth as she started pushing the knife in deeper and deeper. Her eyes began to water as she bites her lip to avoid making any noise. Rarity moved the knife back and forth slightly to make a believable cut. Just then she heard the front door slam shut and the sounds of walking approaching the kitchen fast,

Rarity quickly placed the knife down just as Fluttershy walked into the kitchen, “Rarity?” She started, “Dumbbell said you’ve hurt yourself, is everything okay?” She then stopped in her tracks. Her eyes glanced at the blood puddle then up Rarity’s body as she spots the blood-soaked hoof and tears dripping off her face, “Oh… Rarity...” She made her way towards her,

"I-I didn’t mean to make such a mess darling,” She looked at her as she takes a deep breath to try to help ease the pain. Her blood slowly cascaded down her leg and dripped onto the floor. The blood mixed with Mr Shy’s, “I-It was an accident, I got a little distracted while talking to you dad,” Fluttershy pulls her into a hug.

“Let’s get it cleaned and bandaged up so it doesn’t get infected,” Fluttershy said to her, Rarity nodded slightly at her as she watched her girlfriend walk towards the medicine cabinet. Rarity decided to climb onto the chair where Mr Shy was just moments before, “What actually happened Rarity?” Fluttershy asked as she opened the cabinet.

“Don’t worry about it darling,” Rarity said as Fluttershy took her medical box out of the cabinet and made her way back towards the unicorn, “Like I said, I got a little distracted while talking to your dad,”

“He can get very annoying… But I’m oh so grateful for you distracting both him and my mother while I sneaked out, where are they anyways?” Fluttershy asked her which caused Rarity to nervously chuckle,

“Well… Your mother is in the shower and your father… Just had to head out for a few hours, something about old work friends,” She smiled at her which in turn prompted a soft smile in return,

“At least they’re out of our way now,” She opens the box and takes out several cleaning supplies and began to address the cut, Fluttershy’s eyes were transfixed upon Rarity’s bloodsoaked hoof, her heartbeat raised to her ears. Fluttershy’s mouth began to water slightly as she proceeded to clean the cut, ” All that blood… You are very hungry Fluttershy, just a little… taste,”

“Are you okay darling?”

Fluttershy’s thoughts were cut short, she looked up at the pony and chuckled nervously, “Yeah… I’m perfectly fine,” She smiled at her softly as her stomach growled, “Just hungry… Considering I’ve been at the doctors all morning… I missed breakfast,”

“I’ll fix you something up once everything is cleaned up,” Rarity said to her, “But I want to talk to you about something important,”

“Oh? What about?” Fluttershy started to clean the cut,

“About last weekend,” Rarity started, “I know you weren’t at Zecora’s last weekend, you lied to me,” Fluttershy’s eyes widened slightly as she looked into her eyes, “Yeah, you know exactly what I’m on about,”

“Oh Rarity…” Fluttershy got interrupted,

“Don’t ‘Oh Rarity’ me!” She slammed her uninjured hoof onto the counter to make the shy mare flinch, “Pinkie Pie told me everything! The two of you were in Las Pegasus drinking! I don’t even want to think about how the two of you got served!”

“Rarity please…” Yet again she was interrupted,

“I said I don’t want to think about it! Especially you were flirting with Tree Hugger!! You lied to my face about this whole situation Fluttershy!!”

“Rarity….”

“Stop interrupting me!! Pinkie told me every single detail that happened that night!”

“RARITY!!” Fluttershy shouted, “CAN YOU PLEASE LISTEN TO ME?!” It was the loudest Rarity has ever heard shout before as she looked at Fluttershy with wide eyes and mouth agape. Fluttershy cleared her throat, “I’m sorry for shouting at you, but you wouldn’t let me get a single sentence in. Now, here’s a thought, before jumping to conclusions, like you always do, why don’t you actually speak to me about it instead of screaming?” Fluttershy asked her,

“I’m not apologizing when you clearly lied to me,” Rarity looked away as Fluttershy started to bandage up her injured hoof, “Lied to me about Tree Hugger and lied to me about where you really were last weekend, I can’t believe it Fluttershy,”

“So did Pinkie Pie tell you that I wanted nothing to do with her? Tell you that she came onto me? And tell you that I was spiked,” Fluttershy said rather bluntly,

“I… Um… Yes and no… Pinkie didn’t tell me that you were…” She stopped as she turned to face her, “Spiked…”

“I was going to tell you the truth that night, when I came back… Why I wasn’t in for the whole night when you wanted me to stay over,” Her ears flattened, “I just wanted to forget that night ever existed… I did go to Zecora’s that night, I stumbled into her hut and after she settled me down she was the one to figure out that I was drugged up,”

“If you don’t mind me asking but what happened to Pinkie?”

“Celestia knows, all I remember was that somepony was taking me away from her,” She takes a seat next to Rarity, “I’m really sorry about lying to you… I never meant to hurt you,” She finishes bandaging her hoof up,

“You know that I feel like such an idiot right now…” Rarity then sighed heavily, “You’re right about one thing however, I always jump to conclusions,”

“I understand completely,” Fluttershy grabbed ahold of her uninjured hoof, smiling at her softly, “It may have seemed like I lied to you which I technically did, but I had a reason for it,”

Rarity’s ears flattened, “I’m so sorry Fluttershy,” Just then she feels herself get pulled into a tight hug, she returns the hug and keeps the mare close to her body, “I promise you… Next time I’ll speak to you about these things instead of shouting at you,

Fluttershy gave her a soft smile which always made Rarity feel warm inside, “It’ll help us through a lot of our fights if you do. However I do have to ask something, did you personally go out of your way to find this out?”

“Oh heavens no!” Rarity pulled away from the pegasus, “I found out while I was complaining to myself about your father after he made very hurtful comments about Pinkie, and when I said I don’t know how much longer I can stand him for. Pinkie overheard and mentioned that when you were… In her words… shitfaced… You were talking about him,”

“I'm guessing that was after I was spiked, I normally don’t talk about him to just anyone… I just… I don’t want to think about that night,” Her ears flattened slightly as her head lowered,

“Well, enough of that then if you don’t want to talk about it,” Rarity smiled at her as she places her hoof under Fluttershy’s chin, lightly pushing her hoof up to have the shy mare looking at her as she spoke, “Let me know how your appointment when this morning then?”

“Oh… You want to know about my appointment?” She quickly looks away, “I can’t really remember much…” Rarity tilted her head slightly, “All I know is that Twilight was there and she’s coming over at some point today,”

“Twilight is coming over? Like coming over for some tea?” Rarity asked her as Fluttershy nodded, “We’d better get to cleaning then, I did make quite the mess,”

“Yeah you did… Rarity?” Rarity looked at her, “Can you head upstairs and go into the bedroom? Near the door is a box full of old towels that I’ve been meaning to get rid of. We can use them to clean the blood up,” Fluttershy mentioned to her which had Rarity nodding,

“Of course, I’ll be back soon with them then,” Rarity got up off the chair and began walking towards the stairs, avoiding putting pressure on her hoof, she slightly limped,

Fluttershy turned to face the blood pool, her mouth dripping with saliva as she licks her lips, ” Fluttershy, it’s free food, take the opportunity!” Fluttershy walked over and leaned down, her stomach growling loudly, ” It’s Rarity’s blood! Just drink it before she comes down! Do it!!” She then leans down and starts to drink from the puddle. She felt the warm liquid slide down her throat, ” Wait hold up… What the fuck that isn’t her blood…”/i] Fluttershy quickly brings her head up,

“What the hay…” Fluttershy mumbled to herself before leaning back down to give the blood another taste, “Who’s blood is it then? Did Rarity lie about her cut?”

” None that you’ve had before Fluttershy, this is all new… But there’s loads so quickly get as much as you can,”

She began to drink as much as possible before Rarity would come down and make her appearance. She enjoyed the free meal considering that she might not get another opportunity like the one that’s laid ahead of her… She then heard it, the stairs creaking as someone started to make their descent down the stairs. She quickly stops and hurried along to the sink. Her mouth was slightly dripping with blood, reaching over she turned the water one and quickly began to wash the blood away,

“I found the towels darling!” Rarity called out, singing slightly as she walked back into the kitchen holding a small box within her magic. She was still limping slightly. Rarity laid eyes upon the shy mare as she saw her with her face under the running water, “Is everything okay darling?”

“Fine!” She blurted out, “Just thirsty and I wanted to see if I could drink the water without getting a glass… I kinda got myself soaked,” She turned around to smirk at Rarity, showing her that her muzzle was soaked. Rarity couldn’t help but chuckle,

“You’re too cute, do you know that?” Rarity said to her as she places the towels down on the counter, “Now, let's get all this cleaned up before Twilight arrives,”


It took the two mares over two hours to finish. The whole kitchen was deep cleaned to remove the smell and the stain of blood. Fluttershy throws the last towel away as Rarity lets out a heavy sigh of relief, “I didn’t expect this to take so long,” Rarity said as Fluttershy nodded in agreement,

“At least we started spring cleaning early?” Fluttershy questioned as she chuckled, “Like a full season early,” Just then the two of them hear a knock at the front door, “Oh, that must be Twilight, I’ll go answer it,”

“While you do that, I’ll start preparing for dinner,” Rarity said as she walked towards the sink as Fluttershy left her to go answer the door,

Fluttershy had walked over to the door just as the knock happened again. She quickly answers it to see Twilight on the other side, she smiles at the alicorn as she spots Spike on her back. The other two return the smile as Fluttershy opened the door wider, “Afternoon Twilight. Spike. Please, do come in,” The two-step inside the cottage,

“I’m assuming that Nurse Redheart has already spoken to you why I wanted to come down today?” Twilight asked her as Fluttershy closed the door to keep the cold out,

“No she didn’t… She just told me that you wanted to see me,” Fluttershy said as they walked towards the sofa, “Is everything okay? I can’t really remember much of the appointment this morning…”

“Fluttershy…” Twilight started as Spike jumped off her back, she took a seat on the sofa as Fluttershy sits across from her,” I’m not sure how I can tell you this,”

“Tell me what Twilight?”

“That you’re becoming Flutterbat!” Spike yelled out which in turn had Twilight to shoot him a glare, “What?” He asked, “I only told you what you couldn’t,”

“I wanted to let her know a little less direct and let her down easy with the information,” Twilight said to him with her teeth gritted, “You’re being so blunt about it,”

“Flutterbat?...” Fluttershy said as she taps her hooves together, “I… I kinda already know that…” Just then Spike got up, “It’s been rather apparent for the past few days now...,”

“Wait a minute! Before we start, let me just head upstairs to use the bathroom,” Spike then began to run from his seat to the stairs,

“Hurry up then Spike!” Twilight shouted towards him as he throws a thumbs up at her before running up the stairs, “I’m sorry, I would like to get this started at some point,”

“Nothing to worry about,” Fluttershy smiled at the mare, “I don’t mind waiting,”

It had only been several minutes, Twilight and Fluttershy hadn’t moved from their spots. The pair of them were waiting in total silence while Spike went to the bathroom. It was an uncomfortable, awkward silence. With Spike dropping the truth bomb on the reason why they turned up and the confirmation from Fluttershy made the atmosphere to become thick. Twilight soon cleared her throat, “So… Fluttershy, apart from everything that’s been happening to you lately… How have you been overall?” She asked her causing Fluttershy to give Twilight a soft smile,

“Oh, I’ve been well,” She nodded at her slowly, “Apart from my parents visiting, I’d say these have been the best few days of my life, I’ve never felt so… Alive," She wiggles her shoulders slightly which prompted Twilight to give her a strange look,

“Why did you say it like that?” Twilight asked her,

“Like what?”

“Lik-” Twilight then got interrupted by Spike hurrying downstairs. The two mares watched the little dragon as he takes his seat next to Twilight, “Oh that didn’t take too long, ready to write everything down?” Twilight asked him as he brings up his pen and paper,

"Ready!"

“Alright then,” She then turned her attention to Fluttershy; who shifted in her seat, “Nurse Redheart mentioned that you’re seeing someone? Any chance that he can be here? Just so he can hear what’s happening?”

“Oh yeah… My special somepony... They won’t be long no-” Fluttershy was then interrupted by someone calling from within the kitchen,

"I’m here darling!” Rarity trotted out of the kitchen, “I’m sorry I wasn’t there to greet you I was just preparing dinner for tonight,” She smiled brightly as she made her way towards Fluttershy and takes a seat next to her, “I had to deep soak all the pans that Sweetie Belle used this morning, everything is still horribly burned,”

"Oh I could always go out to the market and buy some new ones, I’m surprised that they are still usable after what I saw,” Fluttershy chuckled to her statement as Rarity shakes her head,

"No, you will not! I’m not having you fork out to buy some more when Sweetie Belle was the one who ruined them. If anything she’ll pay for new ones,” Twilight then cleared her throat to gain the attention of the two mares in front of her, they turned to face her

"Girls, please,” She started, “I was hoping that it can just be Fluttershy and her partner while Spike and I spoke to them about something,”

Rarity chuckled lightly as she scooted next to Fluttershy, “Oh darling you’ve got it all mixed. I am her partner,” She smiled at her softly as Spike's mouth dropped open, this gained the attention of Fluttershy.

“Close your mouth or you might catch flies,” Fluttershy said to him causing Twilight to feel bad about assuming.

"Incredibly sorry you two, I didn’t know that you were dating,” Twilight looked to one side, she shouldn't have assumed.

"Don’t feel bad Twilight. We haven’t been open about it until now." Rarity said, giving the Princess some reassurance. "Now, I really want to know what’s happening to her,” Rarity said as Spike puts his pen down,

“I can’t believe you Fluttershy,” Spike said causing all eyes to be on him, “You know I love her! She was mine!” Fluttershy raised her eyebrow at him,

"Spike?!” Twilight shouted, “Stop it!” Spike shakes his head,

"Stay out of this Twilight!” Spike growled at her before turning back to Fluttershy, “You don’t even know how to treat her! Unlike me!” He jumped towards her,

"I have you know, I know exactly how to treat her. You just see her as an object,” Fluttershy said bluntly towards him, “Now let’s stop the-” She was then interrupted by a small claw colliding with her face,

"Spike!” Rarity called out, “You can’t just slap Fluttershy like that!”

"She took you away from me! You’re my true love! I can do what I want to prove myself for you!” Spike said as he walked over to Rarity, grabbing her hoof with his claw, “I love you Rarity, I can treat you like the princess that you are,”

"Spike! This is way out of line!” Twilight shouted at him, “I should have taken Pinkie’s advice and asked someone else to come…”

Spike just growled at Twilight’s statement, “Please Rarity… See that I’m way better than her,” Spike said as Fluttershy felt her blood boil, if he didn't stop now he would soon regret it.

"Oh… Spikey Wikey... How I’m flattered that you... “ She coughs, “Love me… But we would have never been a thing cause you see… I’m a lesbian and your a baby dragon…” Rarity said to him as she looked into his eyes, she could see Spike’s heart breakthrough his eyes,

"It’s your fault!” He shouted at Fluttershy as he walked over to her, “You used your weird stare magic to make her like that!”

"Spike, Celestia no, I was always into girls,” Rarity started, “I even tried to get with Applejack, turns out that she’s straight? Who would have guessed?” Rarity chuckled to herself,

"Please Spike, just sit down and do the job I asked you to do. Stop trying to make a scene,” Twilight asked him as he shakes his head,

"No Twilight! She knew that I was in love with Rarity and yet she turned her gay with her stare and got into a relationship with her!” Spike shouted at Fluttershy continued to stare at him,

“I’ll turn you into my next meal if you don’t back off,” Fluttershy said through gritted teeth, “Little Spikey Wikey wouldn’t want that does he?” As she said that, Rarity and Twilight both looked at her in shock.

"Spike… We’re here to help Fluttershy, not to make her any more worse,” Twilight turned to face him as Spike just scoffed, walking back to her and taking his seat and picks up his pen,

"She’s a monster,” Spike said under his breath. Fluttershy’s ears twitched at this, hearing what he said, something inside her snapped. Fluttershy growled loudly and dived straight at Spike,

This caused Twilight to back up quickly. Both Spike and Fluttershy rolled across the floor until Shy was above Spike, pinning him to the ground, her forehooves slammed onto his arms. She snarls at him as he struggles against her weight. Rarity got up, “Fluttershy!” She called out,

” What did I tell you?! What did I just fucking tell you!!” Fluttershy shouted at the baby dragon, ” I fucking told you that I’d turn you into my next meal if you didn’t back off yet you pushed me to my limits!”

“Twilight!! Help me!!!” Spike cried out, begging to be saved, he sees Fluttershy’s mouth opening slightly. He spots her fangs as they drip hot saliva, which in turn causes him to snap his eyes shut,

Suddenly, the predator was lifted into the air. Upon feeling the weight vanishing, he opened his eyes to see Fluttershy being levitated into the air. He turned his head to the other two in the room, it was Rarity who had saved him. Fluttershy squirmed in the air, thrashing violently against her grasp.

“Thank you Rarity!” Spike called out as he runs to hide behind the sofa, “She’s crazy!!”

“Twilight…” Rarity said softly as he restrained Fluttershy; who was struggling against her magic, “What’s happening?”

Twilight just sighed, “I didn’t cure her…” Rarity raised an eyebrow, “When she became like the vampire fruit bats… I didn’t cure her…”

“Are you saying that this is Flutterbat?” Twilight nodded, “Wow… She’s a lot more… Aggressive…”

“I’m still trying to figure out why it’s happening, and I can’t cast the counter spell as shes, not in her full form,” Twilight said as Fluttershy continued to try to get herself free from within Rarity’s magic,

” How many times do I have to tell you!! I hate being lifted up!!” Fluttershy shouted as she squirmed, "PUT ME DOWN YOU BITCH!!"

Rarity's eyes widened at Fluttershy as she called her a bitch. "Wait, you mean this isn’t Flutterbat’s final stage?” Rarity asked Twilight as she shakes her head, “Oh Celestia…”

”LET GO OF ME!!!”

“Fluttershy… I’m sorry I had to….” Rarity said to her softly as she places her to the floor, restraining her to the ground. Fluttershy saw Spike hiding,

"Heed this as a warning Spike, next time you won’t be so lucky!” Fluttershy growled as Rarity sits down on the sofa above her,

"Let’s get this underway shall we?” Rarity asked as Twilight nodded at her, sitting across from her, “Spike can you still make notes?” Spike throws her a thumbs up and grabs his pen and paper, still hiding, “So… Tell me everything you know,”

“What we already know is that she's slowly changing into Flutterbat,” Twilight said, “Her wings have changed, she’s got fangs and her eyes change to red. We don’t know what's changing her but we do know that she’s not hungry for apples,”

“You think… She could attack ponies?” As Rarity said this, the three of them heard Fluttershy scoff.

” Who do you think I am?! “ Fluttershy shouted, ” I may be a monster but I’m not fucked up!” She lied,

“I think we need you to not be present when you’re like this,” Twilight said as her horn glowed, she gets up and goes down, touching her forehead with her horn.

” Not again....” Fluttershy fell limp within Rarity's grasp.

“What did you do?” Rarity asked, “You didn’t need to do that!”

“I had to use this at the doctor's appointment, she’ll wake up and won’t remember a thing,” Twilight said as she sat back down, Spike decided to come out of hiding and sits down next to her, “I’ve contacted Princess Celestia,”

“P-Princess Celestia?! That’s a bit much don’t you think?!” Rarity asks her,

“Not at all, she’s willing to help if needed,” Twilight said as she looks down at Fluttershy, “I’m glad that you two are dating, you can keep a close eye on her,”

“I’ll watch her like a hawk,” Rarity said, “I’m usually around here anyways so it shouldn’t be an issue,”

“Thank you,” Twilight said smiling, “I do want you to contact me if you discover what helps her run faster,”

“Yeah of course,” Rarity smiled at her,

“Well I can’t do any note-taking while she's asleep,” Spike said as he scoffs, “So, Rarity, why are you gay? I mean, you’re missing out on this,” He gestures to himself,

“I don’t really know Spike. It started out as a 7-day free trial but I forgot to cancel it,” Rarity shrugged her shoulders at him,

“That’s a stupid answer,” Spike said as he crosses his arms,

“Well that’s a stupid question,” Rarity said as she glared at him, “Now I’d like you two to leave if you don’t mind,”

“Not at all,” Twilight gets up, “This stays between us three, nopony should know what's happening,” She looked between the two. "Not even our friends."

“I agree,” Spike said, “She’s crazy!” He then jumps up, “Bring someone else next time Twilight, “ He began to walk towards the door,

“Incredibly sorry Rarity, I don’t know what's gotten into him,” Twilight said to her as she got up,

“Nothing to worry about, I’m going to take her upstairs and get her into bed,” Rarity then levitates Fluttershy into the air, her body still limp, “Please… Do bring someone else next time,”


It was approaching midnight. Rarity had managed to get Fluttershy into bed with her. She woke up a few hours earlier a little more clingy than usual. Rarity tried to get to sleep but she couldn’t brush off the thought of Mr Shy… She felt something shift next to her. Rarity felt the warmth of hooves wrapping around her and something attacking her neck, Rarity jolted slightly,

“Fluttershy?” Rarity said as she feels something wet slowly trace her neck, “D-Darling?”

“What is it?” She whispered in her ear, “Why are you interrupting me?”

“Because you’re licking my neck?” Rarity tried to turn around but Fluttershy stops her, “Fluttershy?” She didn't like to be held down,

“Why can’t you let me have my fun?”

“I’m not in the mood Fluttershy,” Rarity said as Fluttershy huffs before getting up, “Where are you going?”

“I’m hungry,” Fluttershy began walking towards the bedroom door, “Is that a crime?”

“Not at all…”

Fluttershy felt the room and began making her way downstairs, ” I can’t believe you’re walking away from her? She’s right there!” Fluttershy shakes her head, ” You can’t shake me away Fluttershy,” As she reached the bottom of the stairs her nose twitches as she could smell something, ” Is that… Blood?”

Fluttershy walked into the kitchen and continued to sniff around. She then stumbled upon the closet, blood slowly oozed out of the bottom. It didn’t take her long before she heard a groan. She quickly goes over and unlocks the door, it swings open and Mr Shy falls out, she quickly takes a few steps back,

“Dad?” Fluttershy said as he groans in response, “Oh dear,” She chuckles as she kicked the man, “Look how helpless you are right now,” She then smirks,

“Fluttershy…” He managed to say, “I need… You to get me to the hospital…”

“Do you depend on me now? Why don’t you ask Zephyr to help you? Oh wait you can’t,” She chuckles as she licks her lips, “He was a very tasty first meal,”

“Wait… What are you getting at?” Mr Shy groans,

“What I’m getting at is that I’m the one who put your precious son in an early grave,” She flashes her fangs at him as her eyes shifted into a deep shade of crimson, “The way he treated me all my life, he deserved to go out like that,”

“What are you?!” He screamed at her, terrified for his life. This certainly wasn't the mare he raised... This thing was far from it.

” I’m your worst fucking nightmare!” She then climbs onto him, pinning him down to the ground,

“Fluttershy! Please!” Mr Shy shouted as she opened her mouth, “Have mercy…”

“Have mercy?” She said as he feels something hot drip onto his neck, it was her saliva, ” My last meal got away, you're just a free course meal,”

“F-Flutter-” Just then Fluttershy latches onto his neck, sinking her fangs into his throat, “AHHH!” He screamed loudly, however he was soon muted by Fluttershy biting into him hard. His mouth still wide open trying to scream, no sound came out,

As she was feeding on him, her coat began to grow darker. Her usually healthy yellow coat turned a much darker yellow. She pulled back to show her father her fangs that were now dripping with his blood. His eyes grew wide, “What’s wrong daddy? Cat got your tongue?” His eyes began to flutter close, “That’s it, go to sleep. While you’re at it, say hi to Zephyr for me,” She then latches onto his neck again,

While during her feeding session she hadn’t noticed Rarity making her way downstairs, she wanted to know why she was taking so long to get something to eat. Once arriving at the bottom of the stairs she heard the sound of chewing. Walking into the kitchen she saw Fluttershy feeding on Mr Shy,

“Holy fuck,” Was the only words that Rarity could form,

Fluttershy shot up and turned to face Rarity, blood dripping as parts of his skin hung from her mouth, ”I can explain,”

“How the fuck can you explain this?! How can this possibly be an explainable thing?!” Fluttershy nervously chuckles, “Go on, I’m waiting,” She tapped her front hoof impatiently,

” I did say I can explain, I just didn’t tell you when,” Fluttershy licks her lips as she cleans the blood,

“I’ve got all night,”
