The Rat of Equestria
Chapter 4: Pain
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTirek was shoved against another rock, his blood dripping along its rough surface. His eyes were strained red and his nose was twisted in ways beyond magical repair. His bones in his body were shattered, and his back was thrown out far worse than before. He lay crumpled on the soft dirt littered with pebbles, an Alicorn walking towards him from the dust.
"Looks like it's gonna take more than just pounding your face into stone," she seemed unamused that her victim wasn't dead yet.
"Just leave me alone," whispered Tirek through pain was it pulsed through him. His body was in no condition to allow him to speak anymore.
"And let you escape again? Not a chance," she lifted him up with his magic and blasted his chest with a beam from her horn. This sent him flying many feet until hitting the ground again. He'd swallowed some dirt, it tastes horrible as it traveled to his stomach. He spit the remains of earth stuck in his teeth, and tried to get up.
"Why...a-are you...doing this?" Tirek groaned through the thousands of needles pinching his muscles. The princess walked towards him, an axe levitating within her magical grasp.
"You are a rat, Equestria is my home. I don't want rats in my home," she smiled and brought the axe up and smashed it down onto his left hand, cutting it by the wrist clean off. Blood squirted from the opening from both his amputated hand and his wrist. Pieces of bone lay cracked on the ground, soaked in blood.
"That has to hurt," said Twilight. She looked the sharp instrument she held with her magic and tossed it aside. She thought what to use next. I could pull out his teeth, no to easy. Maybe feed him to Cyberus? No too simple. I could torture him, yes...yes that'll put him in his place! She smiled wickedly and spawned a table with her magic. Er..his magic.
Tirek felt himself touch cold steel, his body was positioned to lay straight. The next thing he felt was his own flesh being ripped from bone. A searing hot pain spiked up his legs as they were stripped of his skin. He winced at the pain, he wanted to be dead already. A metal instrument was inserted into Tirek's chest, soon realizing it was to numb his body. Twilight grabbed several surgical tools and began opening his bare body. She started at his neck, taking a long knife as she cut a symmetrical line down to his stomach and with doing so, exposing his organs. He looked down at the horror that was his own insides, but he looked away as Discord appeared to his normal form and started picking at his stomach. "Let's see what your daily meals have been lately," he took a long knife identical to his previous tool and cut Tirek's stomach open. He could feel his acid spill out onto the table, but he didn't feel anything. Tirek felt himself slip slowly from consciousness, but his heart seemed to know of his previous actions, and kept him awake. His heart wanted him to stay alive to face the suffering. But as Discord began removing his organs, one after the other Tirek's heart couldn't hold him any longer, before Discord could grab his heart, Tirek passed out and died.
