//------------------------------// // A dip into darkness // Story: Digging in deep // by Thewarwayz //------------------------------// It was a nice day In ponyville, the sun was out and few clouds were in the sky. Rarity was pacing back and forth, thoughts racing through her head. What if they find it? the thought of her secrets being discovered by somepony like twilight made Rarity shiver. She needed somepony who could help, she needed somepony who had good advice, and most importantly she needed somepony who had done this before. Applejack. No she may be honest but she hasn't done this before. Rarity quickly discarded AJ from the selection of ponies who could help. Pinkie pie! No she doesn't really have good advice same goes for Rainbow dash. She couldn't think who could help her. Twilight isn't in on it so she out. then it hit her. Fluttershy! I have to get to Fluttershy immediately. Rarity dashed towards Fluttershy's cottage. She couldn't afford to lose anymore time. When Rarity got to the door of Fluttershy's cottage it suddenly swung open. Fluttershy was standing their with a grave look on her face, but at the sight of Rarity she quickly turned happy and a smile spread across her face. "I made a mistake Fluttershy." Rarity quickly said. Fluttershy's grave look returned. "Come inside. We don't want anypony to find out." Fluttershy's said. She wasn't as sheepish as usual today. They entered the cottage. As soon as the door closed Fluttershy spoke. "What do you mean a mistake? Did somepony find out!?" "No. But somepony could smell something. I could too." Rarity responded a bit scared. She knew what Fluttershy could do, she knew what Fluttershy had done. Her mind wandered she kept imagining what Fluttershy would do to her. Fluttershy seemed to notice Rarity's fear. "Oh don't be so scared. I'm not going to hurt you. Besides the only pony in this town who could stop us was picked. Wait who could smell the body?" Fluttershy now seemed concerned. "Apple bloom." The name seemed to hang there for awhile. "Well I don't think AJ will mind if we take one of her slaves and turn them into some nice food and clothing. Besides she has big McInTosh he is worth like 15 ponies." Fluttershy chuckled at her own joke, Rarity just smiled. "Well we will have to ask AJ. Who knows maybe we can just get Apple bloom to help us." The idea of the little filly helping seemed a bit far fetched, but it wasn't impossible. "Wait you said the only pony who could stop us was picked?! It's my turn too." Rarity frowned she enjoyed the company of twilight, sometimes but she was a threat that had to be dealt with. "I'm not going to enjoy this." Fluttershy just smiled. "Well if you won't do it ill just have pinkie pie put your name in the pot and when your name Is drawn ill deal with you, how does that sound?" Rarity staggered back. Did Fluttershy actually just say that? She was speechless. "But your loyal aren't you Rarity? I won't have to kill you will I?" Rarity nodded still saying nothing. "Good. Lets deal with apple bloom." Fluttershy paused for a second. She grabbed a cupcake and took a bite out of it. "Want one? They're a bit juicier then usual though."
