Horror: an MLP fanfic
Chapter 4: Denial
Previous Chapter Next ChapterPonyville was woke up by a loud scream the next morning. "Wha-," said Twilight as she woke up. Spike jumped out of his bed, flailing in the air. Deathshead jumped up from the couch and grabbed his axe. "What was that," he asked. "That was Fluttershy," Twilight said. Spike looked around. "We better see if she's alright," Spike said. "Good idea," Twilight said. The three ran out the door and towards Fluttershy's house. When they got there, royal guards were surrounding the place. "Ah, Twilight. You're needed in the backyard," said one of them. The three ran to the backyard.
The sight was horrifying. Blood, guts, and animal carcasses laid everywhere. A snake was turned inside out with its teeth ripped out. A pig was hanging from the roof by its intestines. They were shaped into a noose with the pig's stomach ripped open. A squirrel body was on the ground with its face removed. Maggots were crawling on it. Twilight covered her mouth. Spike became sick. Deathshead stood there in horror. The memories were coming back. All those poor animals he killed.
Fluttershy was surrounded by the others. "There, there. Everything will be alright, sugarcube," Applejack said. Fluttershy was bawling her eyes out. Angel was beside her, hugging her leg. Twilight, Spike, and Deathshead walked towards her. "I'm so sorry, Fluttershy," Twilight said. "This sucks," said Spike. Fluttershy looked up at them. "Th-thanks…for s-su-supporting me, guys," Fluttershy said.
Deathshead's heart skipped a beat. He looked right into her eyes. "Hi. Who are you," asked Fluttershy. Deathshead was speechless. His heart began to beat faster, and his breath was faster. "This is Deathshead. He came from Black City," said Spike. Deathshead looked up. "Oh my god," he said. The memory came back to him. Junebug was lying there, dead and cold. "Oh my god! Junebug," said Twilight. Everyone, including Fluttershy, ran over to her body. "Poor Junebug," said Rarity. The royal guards flew over to Junebug's body. "It's obvious here. Only a pony could have done this. This is a mass murder," said one of the guards. "We will report this to Princess Celestia immediately," said another. The royal guards flew off. Deathshead stood there in horror. This is all my fault. I need to make up for this right now, Deathshead thought. "If only someone could help me clean all of this up," Fluttershy said. "Sorry Fluttershy, but we need to get started on preparing for the festival and ball," said Twilight. Fluttershy looked sad. "Maybe I can help," Deathshead said.
Fluttershy looked up. "You'll help," she asked, sounding happier. "Sure. Since everyone else is busy, I'll be willing to help," said Deathshead. Fluttershy got up and hugged him. "Oh, thank you. This means so much to me," said Fluttershy. Deathshead blushed. Spike got on to his crush for her right away. "Well, we better get started," said Deathshead. "Well, good luck to you two," Twilight said. As everyone left, Deathshead thought, how will I admit my secret? I bet Spike will keep it a secret if I tell him. This is the ultimate friendship test. "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to help out," asked Fluttershy.
Fluttershy was in a much happier mood now. "Sorry. Let's get started. But we better leave Junebug's body here. I'm sure the royal guards will come back to pick it up," Deathshead said. "I suppose you are right," said Fluttershy said. "Let's start by picking up the bodies," said Deathshead. "All right," said Fluttershy. As they were walking back, Fluttershy noticed the message above Junebug's head. 'Witness.' Fluttershy gasped. "What is it," asked Deathshead. He saw the message. "Junebug saw what happened," said Fluttershy. The memory came back to him. "I see. Well, the guards should see when they come. C'mon, let's get going," said Deathshead. "Alright, let's go," said Fluttershy.
An hour later, the mess was clean. Deathshead was on his way back when he ran into Spike. "Hey, Spike. Can I tell you something," asked Deathshead. "Sure, what is it," Spike asked. "Do you promise not to tell anyone," said Deathshead. "Yes. I promise," said Spike. Deathshead paused for a moment.
Deathshead finally said, "I'm the murderer."
