Back again? Really? Are you insane? I think you might be...Anyway, on with our story?
It had been a few days since the Cakes. I'm still trying to get over it. What I had done. Hoop, the Cakes, and that poor hiker who was in the wrong place at the wrong time... But I could still remember the cracking sound, and that echo the kitchen knife had. My ears twitched, No survivorssss... a voice hissed. I turned and looked at Buster, as if the little wall-eyed dragon with the brain of a dog could have said that. I did this every time. The voice echoed through my head ever since the Cakes. No survivorssss... it hissed, slightly more demanding this time. I looked around before sighing. "What do you mean, 'No survivors?' " I questioned the voice. No answer. I don't know what I was expecting... I sighed again and sat down, pulling Buster close and flattening his spikes to hug him. "My only friend..." I whispered, nuzzling the small dragon as he stared at a tree.
After a little while of hugging Buster, I finally glanced at the sky. It was dark now, like a storm was rolling in. I went to say something about how I wasn't informed about the storm before I remembered... I wasn't informed because I'm a murderer. I frowned before my ear twitched, and the same voice sounded. Kill herrrrr! Kill her nowww! My ears twitched. "Who..." I looked at the sky and hissed. Pink...Pink... "...Pinkie Pie..." I tilted my head. "No survivors...How is Pinkie a survivor?"
Was...there...
"What? Where?" No answer. I snarled before sighing and shaking my head. "No survivors....Let's go then..." I grinned and got up, picking Buster and my knife up and trotting away with them.
It was so dark. I could barley my own hoof in front of my face. I can still see the light reflecting off of the Library as I walked towards it. A certain somepony had told me where Pinkie Pie had been staying. By this time, I was gone. I wasn't Doodle Bug anymore. Just some psychotic freak. Not that I'm complaining. Back to the story. I peeked into the windows of the Library, holding Buster in my hooves as I flew up. Twilight was in bed, a bandage wrapped around her head. I expected as much. I had kicked her pretty hard. No Pinkie Pie. I flew downstairs and peeked through the windows. Same result, without the unicorn. Where was she then? I heard somepony talking, it wasn't the whispering, it was a familiar voice. Belonging to the detective that I had brought cookies to every Saturday. "I know you're both scared, but we know that Doodle Bug will be coming to get Pinkie. That's why we have the decoy upstairs, Doodle Bug will most likely try to kill Twilight first, she's the one with magic." My ears twitched as I peeked through another window. Grey Steam, Pinkie, and Twilight were all there. Pinkie Pie had a flat mane and tail, and she was shaking slightly as Twilight held her. My eyes flicked to Grey Steam. Every Saturday I brought cookies to him, slightly burnt cookies, but cookies. Then we sat down and talked about what I had done to destroy Ponyville that week, and a few times, he actually let me help him with a case or two.
"Him first..." I whispered, ducking in the bushes, listening to the conversation.
"Are you sure this will work?" Twilight asked, a squeak in her voice, "She nearly killed Fluttershy for her dimwit dragon back, who knows what she'll do to get Pinkie Pie!"
"I know Ms. Sparkle, but please stay calm, we have high hopes that we can catch Doodle Bug tonight."
"High hopes? You had high hopes that she wouldn't go after that idiot pet of hers!"
"Calm down..."
"Don't tell me to calm do-" They were interrupted by a crash upstairs.
"Stay here..." Grey whispered, using his magic to draw his gun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grey made his way up the stairs, seeing shattered glass spread across the floor. He blinked and looked up at the bed. There was a knife in its' head. He slowly approached it and frowned as he saw a note under the knife. He put his gun down to lift the note.
Why did you leave them alone?
Grey frowned and dropped the note, running downstairs as fast as his hooves could carry him, tripping down the last two steps and scurrying up again only to find the kitchen door shut. "Open up!" He slammed against the door, hearing a scream and a loud THUD! "OPEN UP!"
"Sorry! They're a little too dead to open the door." His ears flattened against his head. It really was the same Doodle Bug, the same sweet pony that brought cookies to him, the same pony that stayed and talked to him when no one else would...The same pony he was going to ask out...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Getting in had been easy. Throw Buster through the window, fly in quickly, place the note, and fly back down. I had to be quick though, I had to wait until Grey had gotten half way up the stairs before I opened the door and hurried inside, running to the kitchen. Twilight didn't have time to scream, I slammed my hoof into her face and knocked her down. Thanks to the injury I had given her a few days earlier, she went down, but didn't pass out. Pinkie had started shaking fiercely. "Hia, Pinkie!" I chirped, snatching a kitchen knife, "Came to reunite you with the Cakes!" I smiled and tackled her, slitting her throat quickly. Pinkie Pie had done nothing to me, I wanted her death to be as quick as possible. Twilight on the other hand... I stepped off Pinkie and went to the unicorn, snatching her up by her mane. She went to scream, but I denied her the ability by grabbing a washcloth and jamming it in her mouth. "Now now Twily, no ruining the fun..." I giggled. "Now. What did you say about my dragon?" Twilight had started crying. "Oh fine, ruin the fun." I sighed and slammed the knife into her stomach. She let out a muffled scream and flailed. I heard a thud and heard none other than Grey Steams' voice, "Open up!" I smirked and took the washcloth out, letting her scream out loud before I slit her throat, dropping her. I stabbed her a few more times before her eyes closed.
"OPEN UP!"
"Sorry! They're a little too dead to open the door." I cackled and licked the blood off my knife, throwing it against the wall. "Wanna come inside, Steam? We can have a lovely cup of tea over these dead bodies!" I smirked and opened the door. He looked so scared, made me feel the slightest hint of guilt. And then it was gone, as soon as I noticed that he didn't have his gun. "Oh Steamy, you're making it so easy..." I smirked again and whistled, "Busterrrr!" Grey had started shaking, and he didn't even have time to say anything before Buster had crashed into him, sticking around three and a half spikes into Greys' back. "Good boy." I gave Buster a soft pat before putting a hand on Grey. "I put a little bit of magic on Busters' spikes...Wanna know how?"
"...Ze...Cora...." He whispered, falling down, struggling to keep his eyes open.
"Exactly! She told me where Ms. Pinkie would be and she even gave me a nice potion to knock somepony out for an hour or two. I was going to knock Twilight out, but I already took care of her..." I sat down and started stroking Greys' mane, much like a mother would do for her foal. "Nighty night Steamy..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steam opened his eyes and blinked. "Oh good!" I smiled, "You're finally awake." I got up, nudging Buster out of the way. He opened his mouth. "Oh no no no, don't try to speak. Side effects leave you incapable of speaking for a little while." I giggled. He glared at me, looking liked he wanted to kill me. "Please don't be mad..." I frowned, "Please don't..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grey blinked, that sounded like the Doodle Bug he knew. Not wanting anyone to be mad at her. It broke his heart. Why did she have to be a monster, she was so sweet, so perfect... But then her eyes changed, something went off. Her eyes seemed to look more insane, and the way she stared at him, it wasn't a sad look, it was a hungry one. He panicked and tried to spark up his magic, only to be greeted with a sickening pain. "Oopsy Daisy!" Doodle Bug giggled, "I forgot to mention..." She lifted her hoof, showing him...His own horn. "I got a little clumsy with the saw..." She cackled as he started crying. He had always wondered why Doodle Bug could solve any case that had his men confused. He knew now. It was because psychopaths think alike.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I smirked, "Anyway, enough sad. We are here to answer a very, very important question. But first, let me build up. Pegasi can fly, and Unicorns have their magic, and ground ponies are just...Useless. But, a very big question still remains. can unicorns somehow act like Pegasi? And that, my Steamy, is the question. Can unicorns fly? Let's find out the answer!" I grinned and walked to the edge of the building we were on. It wasn't a random building, by any means, this one was special. It was the Canterlot castle . "You won't die, Steam. You'll just be...Paralyzed. See, I'm aiming for Princess Lunas' balcony." I grinned and walked back to him. "Get ready, Steam. This is the answer to life's biggest question!" I cackled and pushed him off the roof, hearing a crunch and smirking. "Enjoy life now, Steamy. Hope you get a real hot nurse."
