[00:00:15]Heat. Heat.

[00:00:35]Screams echoed through the cloud palace of Rainbow Dash's home. The Philly started stled wide awake in cold sweat, terror surging through her veins.

[00:00:45]Nightmares again. The seventh time this month. And it always had been the same one. The one with the cupcakes flashes of memory lanced through her head, wings being hacked off, then ripped from their sockets. Needles plunged into her beating heart. Adrenaline injected into her body to keep her awake and alert as the torture went on. The smell of her own flesh cooking. The sight of her own blood and gore spilling from her surgically incessed belly. the mastermind behind the terror, toying with those glistening organs like they were party favors. She knew in her heart that Pinkie Pie would never be capable of doing such a gruesome act. But that fought didn't help to make the any dreams any less vivid. The Pegasus ponies sobbed openly, curling up in her blanket and rocking back and forth as her body trembled with fear. She had not told anyone about her dreams, about the lingering feeling of steel piercing flesh and blade cutting bone. Her work had suffered because of the constant night terrors, the nightmares being so powerful that she was simply afraid of going back to sleep. Some nights staying up altogether in attempt to stave off the horrors for just one more night. And every pony wondered why she spent most of her day napping in the open in the daylight because of the shining brilliance of the sun. It was the only way she could actually rest. But even then, the black clutches of her fear addled to her her subconsciousness and had began to creep even into that relative safety. Following through her dream main world, Dash whimpered as tears streaked down her face, staining her fur and cheeks with wide eyes darted around the darkened scenery of her room, heart pounding in her chest as breath came before hiccoping sobs. Her wings clinging tight against her form as paranoia began to clutch at the edges of her mind. Shadows lurch and move to their periperial vision. Routine star natural noises started becoming distorted and echoing within her mind as adrenaline surged through her shivering form. This wasn't healthy. Her mind was slowly breaking under the horrors of her subconsciousness bindings that no pony should ever even have the slightest thought about chipping away at her psyche. She was starting to crack.

[00:03:20]Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash. Hey, has any pony seen Rainbow Dash around? Applejack trotted through the streets of Ponyville, looking high, high and low for the town's resident pedar pony.

[00:03:34]Bystanders just shook their heads and shrugged horse feathers figures at ponies nowhere and to be seen, and you'd really need her. The cow pony sighed and continued on through town. hoof beatats kicking up dust as she looked at the sky for a pegasus pony. Cause narnet rainbow dash where in the wild world of Equestria are you? A long yawn followed from the branches of the tree behind her made her answer. The pony in question dropping head down and gazing at Applejack from an upside down position.

[00:04:10]What Applejack? What is that is so important that you've got to interrupt my napping? The western pony stamped a hoof on the ground, scallowing at the pegasus. "Now you know just why I'm fussing finding you. You said you were going to bring over a little rainstorm for the crop," said Sweet Apple Acres nearly 2 hours ago. "Instead, I'd find you out here in a tree, snoozing your little behind off." Dash gave a groan, slipping out of the tree and landing on her hooves, shaking her head. She looked more disheveled than usual. Her mane was a mess. Dark bags under her eyes from many a sleepless night. She looked pale, sickly almost, yet still tried to put on an air of cheerfulness. She heaved a yawn before giving a dismissive wave to Applejack. Yeah, yeah, keep your saddle on.

[00:05:06]Oh, get to it right now. Sorry for and stuff. As the Pegasus pony turned and spread her wings to take off, Applejack tilted her head to the right side and gave a little frown. "Uh, Dash, you feeling okay? You look a little uh under the weather." Dash grumpled, shrugging her shoulders as she gave her wings a little test flap. "I'm fine," was only the response from the Pegasus. The cow pointed behind her, stepped forward, giving Dash a sigh little nudge on her snout. "You sure about that?" She was cut off by the Pegasus, suddenly jerking away from Applejack, darning up into the air as her eyes went wide. Don't Don't touch me. I'm I'm fine. I'm honest. I'm just She nearly spilled the beans right then and there, but she refrained. She couldn't take the chance that another pony might think different of her because she was being scared out of her mind every night by some stupid nightmare. Her body gave a little shiver as Applejack looked on with concern. I uh I mean uh got to go. Before Applejack could say anything further, Dash was off like a rocket towards Sweet Apple Acres, leaving thing the cow pony just to scratch her head in confusion. That girl ain't right. Another terrorfilled night.

[00:06:26]Dash lay curled upon the floor of her cloudhouse. Blankets waved around her shivering form. It was worse than this time. She had been flayed open, set upon the dining table of the pink earth pony, as the slabs of her own meat, dripping with her life fluids, were sheared from their flanks, served to all of her friends, herself still somehow alive to be aware of the entire situation.

[00:06:53]Hearing the laughter as they devoured her living form as fork and knife dug into her inards, tearing her apart, she was nothing more than a slap of meat for her friend's enjoyment. Hiccups punctured through heavy sobs as the pegasus pony clutched her at her head.

[00:07:12]The visions of her nightmares have been visiting upon her ingrained within her memory. Every horrible detail, from the fiery pain of redened flesh to the sickening sound of innards being torn and ripped out from her belly, was cast in vivid depiction. She whed as she lay curled tightly upon the floor, sniffling as tears gushed from her eyes. "Just leave me alone. Why won't you leave me alone?" she hiccuped, rocking back and forth. I don't deserve this. Just stay out of Stay out of my head. Get out of my head, please, and just get out of my head. Fear turned to anger, Dash beating her hooves against her temples. Get out.

[00:07:53]Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. She weep openly, grinding her forehead against the floor of the room.

[00:08:01]Hooves pounding and pounding on her head, bruising the flesh as pent up frustration and sleepdeprivation erupted as an agonized scream of rage and sorrow. Another night, another crack in the window. Every pony had noticed it.

[00:08:18]It was in the way she walked, the way she talked. Her body language, it just screamed it. Gone was Rainbow Dash. That cheerful brash speedster replaced by some hollow shell. She drifted aimlessly about over Ponyville as weeks of interrupted sleep had taken its toll upon her. All of her friends knew that something was up, but none of them knew exactly what to do. She had pushed him away when they had tried to comfort her, lashing out like a wounded animal any time they had tried to console her or plead her to get help. Too headstrong, some would say, too proud of her still.

[00:08:59]But none of them realized the gravity of the situation until that one fateful day, the day that Rainbow Dash finally snapped. It had been unseasonably warm spring day in Ponyville. Every pony was out enjoying the temperament weather from foss to colts and then some as every pony went about their business.

[00:09:20]Lyra and Bon Bon chatting up under their beneath their usual table at the cafe.

[00:09:26]Applejack selling the first harvest from sweet apple acres as ponies lined up for those ruby dectibles.

[00:09:34]And with the candy corner, Pinkie Pie was busy darting to and fro from the kitchen, baking up the storm. She glanced at the clock every now and then, frowning each time before the bell to the door finally ran open. A headgard looking app Rainbow Dash entering the shop. Rainbow, you're finally here. Oh, I've been so worried about you. You've been all mopsy dozy, and so I thought I'd ask you to come visit me so I can make you feel extra super special. and cheer you up. But then you didn't show up when I thought you were going to, and I was all sad that you weren't going to stay coop up in your house all day. But when you came in and now you're here, and now we can have some fun. Dash merely looked at her blankly before shaking her head and stumbling forward.

[00:10:22]Whatever, Pinky. What did you want me here for? The energetic gurve pony bounced around the kitchen over towards one of the many ovens of the candy corner before pulling the door down, reaching in and pulling out a tray of puffy fluffy cupcakes with a generous slabing of icing upon them. She spun around grinning wildly as she showed the baked goods off to Dash. I made you cupcakes. Dash pad. Mind flashback to the one of the earliest of nightmares.

[00:10:53]The most vivid, the most intense, a tray of cupcakes. Tasting it, finding motor skills rapidly deteriorating, stumbling as her body shut down under the effects of some unknown drug. Pinkie Pie looming over her with a trademark grin, eyes gleaming as the world dimmed around her.

[00:11:12]And here it was happening for real.

[00:11:14]Vision became haze as the world began to spin around her. the Pegasus stumbling back and shaking her head, whispering under her breath, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." She backed up, eyes wide with fear as she shook her head violently, looking around frantically for a way out. "Any way out?

[00:11:35]Out the window? The door? No. No. No. I don't want them. Not going to let you.

[00:11:41]Let me out of here. Let me out of here."

[00:11:44]Pinky merely tilted her head to the side, quizzically, setting the tray down and lifting off a few cupcakes out and plotting them, bouncing over to the shivering Rainbow Dash and offering the plate to the Pegasus. Dash stared at them. They were the same color, same kind. Run. A voice in her head said, "Run, run, you idiot. Run." A hoof flashed out, smacking the plate out of Pinkie Pie's hoops. I said, "I don't want them. I know what you're doing.

[00:12:11]It's not going to work. Pinkie Pie frowned at the discarded cupcakes, but in the typical Pinkie Pie fashion, she just shrugged and went about cleaning them out, humming to herself. Maybe you don't like the avocado icing. That's okay. I've got plenty of more. We can make some to your liking. Is that okay, Rainbow Dash? She glanced back up at the Pegasus pony, letting out a panicked whimpering noises, eyes fixiated on the pony before her, pupils nearly pinp pricks as fear and adrenaline coursed through her veins. She was pinned between Pinky and the wall behind her, chest heaving with heavy gasps. Her sleepdeprived, horrorfilled mind played out the scene from her nightmares over and over again of the saw rending through flesh, cutting through bone.

[00:12:58]run. Gets away. Scapple piercing her breast, dragging her flesh down to her groin, playing her open like some sick sort of piñata. Move. Just get away. Get away. Get away. Get away. She was hyperventilating by now, no longer seeing a longtime friend, but a horrific sadistic butcher. Do something. And then she saw it. The shiny sharp projector just sitting there on the table next to her. The voice within her mind whispered to her like a seductive lover. Sounding so wrong but right at the same time.

[00:13:33]Kill her. Dash hesitated. A part of her wanted to scream. Another wanted to run.

[00:13:39]But yet another considered the request.

[00:13:41]Kill her before she kills you. Her mind was a male storm of conflicting thoughts. The Pegasus feeling sick to her stomach, weak in the knees, and the beat of her own heart pounding within her head. Take the knife. She stared at it, hoof slowly stretching out, trembling as part of her still ward, still tried to reason. Take it. Take the knife. Tears streamed down her face as her hoof hoovered over above the handle of the tool turned weapon as if the last frayed strands of her sanity knew what was happening. Knew it was fighting a battle. It was going to lose. Take it.

[00:14:22]She snatched it up, holding it in front of Pinkie Pie with shaky hooves. Her ears spayed back against her head, hiccuping between sobs. "Just leave me alone, please, Pinkie Pie. Just leave me alone." Pinkie Pie looked at the knife being welded by her friend for a moment before giggling and bouncing over towards Dash, whose heart sank as the Philly rapidly approached. "Oh, Dash, you silly Philly, you got me good with that one. Never turned down an opportunity to prank." But she didn't think it. Her body acted on its own, a gasp. Pinky was looking thunder struck as Dash heaved, frozen in mid struck, the silvery blade of the knife dripping with red anchor.

[00:15:03]Pinkie Pie brought a hoof up to her cheek, dabbing at the wide cut, looking down at her own blood stained hoof. The dash what? I told you to stay away. Why couldn't you just stay away? Kill her.

[00:15:18]No. No. She's my friend. I can't. I I kill her and the hurting will stop.

[00:15:26]Please, Pinky, run. Just run. Oh, God.

[00:15:30]Please don't make me do this. Kill her.

[00:15:32]Kill her. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her.

[00:15:34]Killer. Killer. Kill her. What happened next was a blur. The memories fuzzy in Dash's mind. As Pinkie Pie tried to make sense of the sudden attack upon one person, Dash let out a chilling mix between a whale and a scream. catching the Earth pony off guard as the blade darted forward, slashing through her neck, severing vein and artery as a gout out of crimson issued forth from the wound. Shock and surprise register on Pinkie Pie's face as she gargled. Blood hammer drained from the wound, staining her pink fur with the red hue of her life essence. Again and again, that silver blade struck out. Dash's speed had not restricted her flight as she plunged that blade deep into the Philly before at a rapid pace, sobbing hysterically as she carved the squirming and flailing Philly up through the breast through the bone. Pinkie Pie's struggle slowly faded as her blood was spit spilled onto the floor just at the corn candy corner's kitchen, pulling around her, splattering the Pegasus at top her with the red hot fluid. Just leave me alone, she screamed out, fear turning to rage. You couldn't just go away, could you? You had to keep coming back. Pinky struggles grew weaker and weaker. Her eyes wide with terror as tears streamed down her face. visage frozen in a mix of fear and anguish.

[00:17:02]What did she do? Was it the icing? Did she use salt instead of sugar? Why? As the those slowly gazing eyes glared up at Rainbow Dash, the strikes of the blade grew slower and slower, the Pegasus finally plunging the implement deep into Pinkie Pie's chest, spearing through the Philly's heart, ending her party once and for all. dash heave for breath, limbs shaking as she looked down upon her handiwork. Blood stained her fur and feathers, painting her a deep crimson, wearing the life force from her former friend just some like MacB outfit. She sobbed, letting out a whale of anguish as she realized the gravity of what had just done, arms wrapped around the butchered Philly, Dash, holding the still warm corpse of her friend tight. No, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't. Oh, Celestia, no. What have I done? What did I do? Dash's body shook as her chest heaved with a gut-wrenching cry of anguish, suddenly letting go of Pinky's body and letting out a earpiercing streak of terror as she looked at her own hooves. Blood and vice versa coated them, dripping down through fur. The scene straight from a horror movie laid before her eyes. She skittered backwards, slipping the in the pool of blood of her own creation, slamming the cheek first into the pile of gore before finally gaining purchase and dragging herself over to the farthest wall from Pinkiey's still form.

[00:18:35]Her stomach mutilining on the on her as she emptied its continents on the floor next to her. Her mind raced, thoughts running a mile a minute as she hiccuped, wide terrorfilled eyes staring at the scene made by her own hoof. Murder. She had committed murder. One of her own friends. It was unheard of. No pony had murdered another hund in hundreds of years. Voices within her mind clawed and whispered to her. The world spinning around her as time as she standed to still for her. The last visages of her sanity being plucked apart one by one until that final Fred finally snapped.

[00:19:15]who grasp at her head, matting her new rainbow colored mane down with blood and anchor. The Pegasus rocking back and forth in the bloodied kitchen as Craz grin spread across her muzzle, humming disjointly to herself. Giggle at the ghastly so snortle at the spooky dash threw her head back curling legs against her chest as four limbs wrapped around them. Psychotic laughter and chewing forth from the speedster pegasus as her world shattered around her psyche and spirit broken and splintered.
