Rarity was the first to wake up.
“What happened?” She asked.
“Fluttershy woke up screaming, and crying you asked if she was alright. She swung around punching you.” Rainbow Dash said handing her ice.
Rarity looked at Fluttershy. “When did she learn to hit that hard?” She asked.
“I have no idea.” Applejack said cleaning the mark on Fluttershy’s head.
“What happened to Fluttershy?” Rarity asked.
“After she punched you we noticed to blood on her arm, and her face. She fainted striking her head on the corner of your drawer.” Rainbow answered.
Rarity sighed, and looked up as someone knocked against her bedroom door.
“Come in.” Rarity said as Sweetie Belle walked in.
“Yes Sweetie Belle?” She said.
Sweetie couldn’t open her mouth, tears rolling down her face. She could see something.
“What’s wrong?” Rarity asked.
Sweetie Belle rubbed her eyes, and it was still there.
“Sweetie Belle sugar tell us what’s wrong.” Applejack said.
The three went closer to Sweetie Belle, her gaze fixed behind them.
“Sweetie Belle tell us what’s wrong.” Applejack repeated.
Then Fluttershy woke up coughing, she places her hand over her mouth, and sprinted towards the bathroom.
“What is that?” Sweetie said pointing at the back wall.
Rarity turned around, the wall was burned, and covered in blood.
“The same colour as the blood on Fluttershy’s arm.” Applejack said as Rarity turned Sweetie Belle around.
“I forgot how you act around blood. You’re dressed, wait what time is it?” Rarity asked.
“Twenty to ten why?” Sweetie said.
“Shit we got up late.” Rarity said.
Sweetie Belle left, and Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack got changed.
“I’m starting to worry about Fluttershy.” Rainbow said.
“I know first she said that she can’t talk about where she went yesterday, then punching you out cold Rarity, waking up with a cut across her face, and her arm burnt.” Applejack said
Then Fluttershy walked back in dressed, and with a bandage around her arm, with some sort of green scales running up the same arm.
“Fluttershy are you alright?” Rarity asked.
“Yeah let’s just get to school.”
…..
“Right today we are going to write a short scary story, make it as messed up as your minds can make it.” Mrs Steam said.
“I have a perfect idea.” Rainbow said.
“Wait.” Fluttershy stopped her.
“Yes?” Rainbow said.
Fluttershy grabbed the paper, and pen. She started to write something down, Rainbow shrugged her shoulders, and spotted the green scales running up her arm. Fluttershy finished as Rainbow read it out loud.
“He smiled. Then saw her long, sharp, fangs. That glistened slightly in the sunshine, and she could hear his heart beat, and smelled his blood. Her wings were dark, somewhat maroon only tainted with more black. Made entirely of coarse scales, the wings flapped threateningly with the power to strike a crowd of men into unconsciousness. The bones were visible around the sides and similar to bat wings. Crimson stained all up her back. She dives onto him. Her right arm around his chest, her left arm around his head. She opened her mouth, and bit down. It pierced into his flesh. She struck his vain as blood started to fill her mouth. She loved it.” Rainbow almost threw up
“That paints a clear image in my mind.” Rarity said.
Fluttershy smiles as Mrs Steam approaches them.
“Fluttershy may I have a word with you in privet?” She asks. Fluttershy gets up, and follows her.
“I wonder what she wants.” Applejack said.
“Mrs Steam is Fluttershy’s sister, it is most likely important.” Rarity said.
They look at them just as Mrs Steam lifts up Fluttershy’s right sleeve. Glowing green scales.
“What happened Fluttershy?” Her sister asked.
“I don’t know Rebecca I woke up at Rarity’s with a burnt arm, cut face, and now these.” Fluttershy said.
“Have you told Dad yet, he might know what’s happening.” Rebecca said.
“No I lost my phone.” Fluttershy said.
“Alright then umm. Go sit down I will call him to pick you up, and take you down to the lab.” She said letting go of her sleeve.
Fluttershy goes to her seat as the group looked at her.
“What?”
“The green scales on your arm.” Rainbow said.
“Care to explain.” Applejack said.
“I have no idea where it came from.” Fluttershy said.
About thirty minutes went by, and Fluttershy had fallen asleep. Her arm still glowing Rarity looked at her, and smiled.
So adorbs when she sleeps Rarity thought as Rebecca walked over.
“Fluttershy come on.” She said placing her hand on her shoulder.
She lifted her head, and got up. Rarity picked up her bags, and gave it to Rebecca.
“Thanks.” She said as a tall man stepped in.
He was about 6ft 1inch. His hair, dark and lustrous, could almost have been mistaken for jet black, Magenta coloured eyes. Nice chiselled jaw line, an athletic body, a bit of muscle, and a caring personality. He was waiting for Fluttershy.
“Come on sweetie.” He said.
Fluttershy was token to her dad, but soon collapsed. He bent down, and picked her up placing her over his shoulder.
“I will call you later Rebecca.” He said leaving.
“Bye dad, and Fluttershy.” Rebecca said.
…
“Her dad is Dr Red Velvet?” Applejack said.
“Yeah she really doesn’t like to talk about it too much.” Rarity said.
“How come you know more to Fluttershy then I do, and I’ve known her since we were in Pre-School?” Rainbow asked.
“It has been all about you Rainbow Dash. You never think to ask her about her life.” Rarity said.
“That is a lie.” Rainbow said crossing her arms.
“I know the truth is hard to take, but why don’t you ask her how she is once in a while.” Rarity said.
“Rarity is right Rainbow Dash.” Pinkie said.
Rainbow sighed.
“Your right, both of you. I will talk to her later.”
….
“Welcome back Dr Red.” Hound said.
“Hello Hound how are the test subjects going?” He asked.
“Alright at the moment.” Hound answered.
“Okay then.” Red said. “Do me a favor, and call Neon Trap in please.”
“Why?” She said pulling up the desk phone.
“My oldest daughter Rebecca called me to pick up Fluttershy, my youngest saying she woke up with a burnt arm, and some sort of scales on the same arm. Neon knows more about this type of stuff then me.” He said placing her down.
Hound took a closer look. The scales still glowing.
“Alright then place her in there, and I will call him in.” Hound said pointing to her office.
“You sure.” Red said.
“Yeah I don’t mind.” Hound said.
Velvet picks Fluttershy back up, and walked into the office.
