Chapter 1: Red dress

NOTE: THIS AND SO ON AFTER TAKES PLACE 1 MONTH AFTER SAID BURNING
Rarity's POV
I sat there slowly using my magic to cut the small dress I was making for a friend of mine. It didn't take long before my eyes started to water again, this time I couldn't tell if it was from me not blinking for a period of time or simply my inner emotions. My eyes weren't adjusting good enough for me to continue working so I slowly put my scissors down on the table beside me. Okay I thought, Fresh air, all I need is fresh air. Slowly blinking away my former tears, I stood up walking over to the Boutique's front door. Opening it I quickly flipped the small sign reading 'Open' to 'Closed' and walked outside. I sighed, trying to look happy was almost as hard as forgetting things on purpose for me at this point. Putting on a fake small smile nonetheless I kept walking down Ponyville's small somewhat twisted road. I honestly didn't know where I was going at this point. I took a deep breath before taking a sharp left. My heart seemed to stop, as well as time when I saw the stallion.
My lover.
He was standing besides a young mare it seemed. She had a purple coating and dark red eyes. Red mane and tail, the huge lock of her mane behind her ear put into a small pony tail. It suits her really well I thought, That beautiful light red dress she's wearing. My lover slowly went towards the mare, she looked suprised for a split second before she quickly walked towards him too. They kissed.
They kissed.
My heart immediatley went into override, not being able to handle this. I felt the blood pulse into my hooves, my brain telling them to run away. To never turn back. I did. I ran like a murderer was chasing me down and I was going to die, to be honest that's what it felt like. I ran all the way back to the Boutique, sweat running down my face as I shut the door with a slam. Without realizing it, tears streaked my face. That mare is going to pay for stealing him from me. I thought bitterly. I looked up from where I stood, seeing my cutiemark. My eyes widening, I saw the mark was very much real. Gulping down nervousness, I reached towards it. It slowly got brighter as each second passed.

I felt that something was very wrong, My eyes snapping open in a second due to worry. I didn't know what was going on anymore, but I didn't care about that. I had a single mindset now , and forever, I - regardless of the means - was going to murder any mare who stole MY lover! Slowly I felt a wide grin on my face as I used my magic, picking up my so dull scissors. I remembered what my teacher had taught me so long ago, 'Enchant them, and they'll cut even better.' I did just that, my horn encased in a glamoring blue color light shedding onto the scissors. As I had wished, the spell quite quickly made the dull point of the scissors as sharp as a knife, perhaps sharper even.

I quickly dashed out of my home following the twisting path to my lover's house, as I had expected the purple mare and the stallion were together again. I gritted my teeth in a mixture of feelings, the main one being envy. I watched them from a distance as the mare had told my lover something and had walked away from him, going down the opposite path of which I was on. I simply waited for the wooden door to shut before I followed the mare. She seemed to be humming a soft tune to herself as she trotted along. I walked at a faster pace trying to keep up with her without being heard. I pounced on her, pinning her to the ground. She was in utter suprise and as anypony would do ,started trying to get out of harm. I levitated my scissors with magic as I covered her mouth with my hoof. The mare upon realization of this started to scream, obviously not wanting to be killed. I honestly tried to stop myself and think about this, what I was about to do. She wouldn't stop screaming, even though she knew there was truly no point to. "Shut it." I snapped at her. She didn't. "Fine, have it your way then." I muttered. I raised the scissors again stabing her in the neck, I made the cut deep enough to where it wouldn't kill her instantly but it would cause a bit of blood loss. Tears were running down her face, wide-eyed staring at me, begging for mercy. I stoped the blood flow so it wouldn't get onto the dress she was wearing. Slowly I mended the wound, realizing that there was no way I was about to get caught. I used a suffocation spell I had learned long ago. I did it pretty quickly. It didn't take long until her eyes dulled, her heart to stop beating. I took my hoof of her striping her of her dress. Honestly, this would look so much better on me..wouldn't it? I smiled at the thought. I looked back at the corpse in satisfaction.
