//------------------------------// // Rarity joins the Dark BrotherHood // Story: Rebuilding the Dark BrotherHood // by mineturtal247 //------------------------------// It was 9pm in Ponyville most of all the residents where fast asleep from a hard day's work all but one lone unicorn. Rarity was at the top of her stairs that lead to the basement, she was dragging the chest that had the body of the foreclose agent inside it. The box was very heavy even using her magic she had trouble lifting it to the top of the stairs. With one final effort Rarity lifted the chest up the stairs, and with a loud thud, the chest was at the top of the stairs. Panting heavily Rarity took a quick brake, Glad that the chest had reached its designation. "Rarity are you down there?" Sweetie Belle asked worried that some pony might have broken into the store. "Yes dear it's me I’m just...” Rarity thought for a bit not sure what to say next. "Just what Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked curiously. "Just um doing some late night work you know shipping that involves math lots of and lots of math," Rarity responded quickly hoping that Sweetie Belle would lose interest of what she was doing. "Oh" Sweetie Belle had lost interest, exactly what Rarity wanted. "Go on back to bed Dear I’ll be going to sleep soon" Rarity slipped another lie Sweetie’s way. "All right Rarity," Sweetie Belle said with a yawned "Good night." Sweetie Belle soon left heading back to her room. That was a close one. I must get rid of this dreadful thing. Rarity thought to herself. Using her magic she lifted the chest off the ground taking small steps at a time she made her way to the front door opening it with her magic she slowly made her way out of her home. Quietly closing her front door she look to at the chest and the Everfree forest out in the distance. Going to the back of her house to her shed, Rarity, grabbed a shovel. Then she made her way back to the chest. Rarity let out a sigh of disappointment before lifting the chest with her magic, she started her journey to the Everfree forest wishing that she never had done what she did "Well Rarity there's no going back now" she thought to herself, making her way to the Everfree forest. Little did she know she was being watch from a distance two looming figures, which in turn, began following her into the Everfree forest. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity was scared out of her mind not only was she in the Everfree carrying a chest with a dead body in it but she believed that she was being followed by something and too make things worse the mosquitoes where out and they were hungry. Not too long later, Rarity found a spot to buried the corpse, it was by a small river next to some thick bushes she was deep in the Everfree forest and the sound of timber wolfs echoed in the distance. She started digging, hearing howls from timber wolfs that seem very close to her. Rarity dug faster hoping that the wolf had not pick up the scent of the body. When he finish digging the hole, she guessed it would have to be six inches deep. She climbed out using whatever strength she had left. Then with her magic she trudged the chest into the hole. With a sigh of relief, she picked up the shovel with her magic and started filling in the hole. Patting the dirt to make it look like it was never disturbed. She let out a sigh of exhaustion then placed one of her front hooves to her head to wipe the sweat from her brow, she was glad that it was over now, she could return and forget all about the chest. But then, the incriminating noise of the snapping of a twig echoed from behind her. Instantly, she spun around, shovel ready to defend herself from whatever was behind her "Come on out you barbarians!" Rarity yelled at the darkness. Paranoia and nervousness taking full control of her mind. Not hearing anything Rarity took a few seconds to scan the area. She was caught off guard when something attacked her from behind, her covering her mouth with a rag. Rarity tried to scream but only a muffled noise came from her as her eyes started to get heavy and all of the sudden she fell asleep. Another, smaller, figure came out of the bush where Rarity heard the sound of the snapping twig come from. Catching the mare, the figure helped lift Rarity’s unconscious body onto the pony accomplice and the two figures started walking out of the Everfree heading to their secret location. ________________________________________________________________________ Rarity woke up with a headache that could kill a moose. Rarity moaned loudly in pain. She slowly put a hoof to her head and started to take in her surroundings, she was in a room made out of cobblestone with cobblestone support beams in the middle of the room. "Where...Where am I?" Rarity ask confusingly. "Why look who is awake" came a familiar voice from behind Rarity. Rarity quickly turned around to see a mare in Black and red armor with a red mask, black gloves and boots on her hoof's. "Finally I thought she would never awake!" added a little lizard with green eyes with the same armor on. "Who are you? Wh-where am I?” Rarity, fearing for her very life, backed up against the wall “Please don’t h-hurt me! I beg of you!” "Hurt you? Hah! Why we would never think of such things! We merely want-" the mare was cut off by Rarity. "You want money? I have money! I’ll give it to you!" Rarity searched frantically for her pocket book before finding it was gone. "We don’t want your money…" snarled the little lizard. "Then what do you want? Clothes? I can make you the best cloths in all of Equestria! Yeah! Or gems I have gems! Thousands of them. Please don’t hurt me!" Rarity began crying, hoping her foulnappers would spare her. "WHERE NOT GOING TO HURT YOU!" the mare yelled making Rarity stop whining "I’m sorry but we have something else in mind." the mare grew a devilish smirk under her mask. "W-what do you have in mind?" Rarity asked nervously. "We know what you did in your shop and the reason behind it" smiled the little lizard. "You know of that?” Rarity was shock on how they knew what she did “…But how?” "Oh… we have our ways." The mare had a small evil chuckle. “But more importantly, you murdered a pony in cold blood and got away with it. Nor did the guard's find out. You’re pretty impressive" the little lizard complimented. “There are rewards for such skill of yours, you'll make enough Bits to pay off your bill's and repay the bank," said the mare taking a step closer to Rarity “that is… if you accept our agreement.” Rarity thought for a minute "And if I refuse?" she asked, considering the offer. "Nothing will happen. You have our word but your business will be shut down and you will be homeless. Eventually the guards will find the body as well." the mare explained taking another step closer to Rarity. Rarity thought hard real hard before giving an answer. She really did not want to join their devilish little businesses. However she was mortified at the thought of being homeless. "Ok… I’ll join you." Rarity agreed, with much disappointment. "Why do you seem so disappointed then?" asked the small lizard. "Well if my friends find out what I did they would never trust me, I’ll be ridiculed. Not to mention I would be locked up in some prison.” Rarity began to tear up again. "Well… I don’t think all of them will…" the mare smirked under her mask. "Whatever do you mean?" Rarity asked in a very confused tone. "Well… let us show you…" the little lizard grabbed his mask, pulling it down. The same thing was being done by the mare. When they removed their mask’s and hood's Rarity was in shock at what she was staring at. “S-spike?! Fl-fluttershy?!” Rarity nearly fainted. "Hi Rarity" Spike was partially struggling to hide his blush. "Hello Rarity, and welcome,” Fluttershy paused for dramatic effect “To the Dark Brotherhood!" Fluttershy exclaimed with a welcoming smile on her face “Don’t worry, you’ll fit in great, I’m sure.” (EDITOR, kmdude344)
