SNAP
That was the sound of the rabbit's neck being twisted too much in a quick pace.
The yellow pegasus just smiled when she held the lifeless body on her hooves. Without remorse, she dropped the corpse on the floor and walked outside. While on her way out, one could still hear the yellow pegasus humming a familiar cheerful song accompanied by the screaming of a helpless mare covered in berry juice being ravaged by two hungry bears.
Fluttershy screamed to the top of her lungs and clutched on the nearest object her hooves could reach, which was her pet rabbit, Angel. Fluttershy remembered everything that happened in her dream, not that she wanted to. Tears started streaming down her face when she realized that she was the yellow pegasus who sent the cyan mare to her death. To make it all worse, it was a unicorn name Lyra.
Fluttershy was not stupid. Naive but not stupid. She knew that the moment she let Lyra go, she was done for. No one better than her knew that you can't outrun a hungry bear, let alone two of them. That was another thing. Why would her friends do that to a defenseless unicorn? Bears are naturally peaceful and friendly creatures, according to Fluttershy at least.
Angel was groggily looking at his mommy, being rudely awoken was not part of the things he wanted to do in the morning. He knew better than to disturb his mommy while she was crying though. He learned a long time ago that the only way to make his mommy stop crying was to comfort her and that was what he did, he hugged her back.
"I-I'm so sorry, Angel" Fluttershy whispered while unconsciously hugging the rabbit tighter.
"Just remember that mommy loves you and I will never do anything that will harm you. Ever."
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, her body feeling too stiff, not to mention she couldn't feel her numb wings. She tried moving her forelegs but to her mild annoyance she couldn't. She then tried to move her backlegs but producing the same results from before. Then there was the fact that she was lying on her back when the last thing she remembered was sleeping on a cloud flat on her stomach. She tried to move her head around but, just like her limbs, she couldn't move. As she started to struggle, she could feel something wrapped around her legs and head. It was then she realized that she was strapped down on something, facing up on the ceiling.
Alarms started buzzing in her head and her eyes widened. She couldn't remember what happened to her. She darted her eyes left and right but it was too dark to see anything. She could practically hear her breathing. She started to hyperventilate as she tried to get the bindings off her but to no avail. Without any other options left, she resorted to shouting.
"Help!" she shouted, her voice hoarse from dehydration. "Is anypony out there?! I'm stuck! Somepony please help me get out of this!"
"Now, now..." somepony scolded and to Rainbow's surprise, the voice was just beside her. "That is not how dinner is supposed to behave." Rainbow could hear the glee in the voice.
Rainbow's face grew pale "D-dinner?"
"Did I stutter?" the voice asked, Rainbow Dash could already tell it was a mare from how the voice sounded. "Now, be a good pegasus and stay still."
Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow as she felt something being poured down on her. It was only half a minute did she realize what the mare was doing. Rainbow 's eyes widened and renewed her struggle in trying to get out.
"Release me at once!" Rainbow shouted "You don't know who you're messing with here! When I get my hooves on you, you would wish to princess Celestia to kill you immediately!"
The voice chuckled, clearly amused by the threat "Oh believe me when I tell you that I know you fairly well, Rainbow Dash. In fact, you could say that we have a mutual relationship."
Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes. She knew this voice but for some odd reason she just couldn't figure it out who it was. It was somepony she knew fairly well. Somepony she knew that didn't have a bad bone in them. It was on the tip of her tongue.
Just then, she could hear a door opening and immediately closing again. She tried craning her neck to see who entered the dark room but she figured that the door that the strangers entered was behind her.
"Speaking of mutual relationships, where have you been girls? If it weren't for a fact that our dinner is alive then she would've probably gone stale."
A murmured apology followed by a snort was heard as the former started talking "Forgive me but I was tending to my friends before coming here. I had to feed them and it was just my luck that their food was trying to... ehem... make a run for it. It still amuses me that they like their prey as a challenge." said a soft voice.
"Oh I know how you feel." The other voice said with a hint of intelligence in her tone. "I had this one mare who wouldn't shut up and let me have my way with her! She kept asking where her friend was. I mean, I had to stitch her mouth tight before I could start fussing over her. Not that I'm complaining since the findings I gathered from her were sufficient enough for my future experiments. In fact, I'm already starting on increasing the power of unicorn horns by three hundred percent without drawbacks!"
"That's wonderful news!" said the voice Rainbow was previously having a conversation with "That causes for a celebration!"
The second voice snorted again"You mean like a party?"
"Yep!" Rainbow could picture her smiling brightly. "It's good thing I've come prepared!"
"Sounds good to me" agreed the third voice "Now, enough chitchat, I'm famished!"
Without warning, Rainbow screamed in pain as something bit on her backleg. Her screaming doubled as a chunk of her leg was bitten off. She could feel blood flowing from her wound towards the table she was strapped on.
"Hmm... not bad" chewing could be heard as Rainbow Dash started crying in excruciating pain "Needs more salt though"
"Here you go!" said the first cheerfully
Rainbow once again screamed in pain as salt was being rubbed on her wound. Then she could feel somepony licking her leg. "That's more like it. Now, I think it's best we start with this feast, shall we?"
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, only to be face-to-face with a purple eyed mare with a smile on her face.
"Now, let's see what your eye tastes like. You know, I would've never thought that you would taste amazing Rainbow Dash!" said the mare before enclosing her mouth on Rainbow's left eye and took a huge bite out of it.
Rainbow Dash woke up with a start, sweat dripping from her face and mane. She slowly looked around and sighed in relief when she was sitting on a cloud and not being strapped to a table in a dark place. That dream felt too real. If she wasn't looking with both of her eyes, she would've thought that she was currently hallucinating and everything that happened wasn't dream at all.
Rainbow Dash lied down and sighed. She was feeling tire already even though she just woke up from a nap. Judging from the position of the sun, it was a pretty long nap. She peered down on Ponyville, watching idly on ponies doing their routines. It was, in fact, at that moment that she saw a certain yellow pegasus flying frantically towards the general direction of the library.
Rainbow Dash was curious about this. She decided that since she didn't have anything better to, she would follow her friend towards Twilight's. Not to mention she was trying to forget everything that had happened in that dream.
Twilight was about to ask Pinkie if she would have lunch with her when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." she said while using her magic to open the door for her.
There stood Fluttershy. The mare looked like she just finished crying her eyes out. She flew inside and zeroed in on Pinkie Pie, hugging the pink mare for her dear life.
"O-oh Pinkie!" Fluttershy sniffed as fresh tears rolled down her eyes "I-it was a-awful! I was inside this d-dark cave and Angel was there a-and my bear friends were also there!"
"There there Shy-Shy" Pinkie Pied cooed the yellow pegasus "Just let it all out."
Before Twilight could question Fluttershy about what was wrong, there was another set of knocks on her door.
