Pies and Knives

Tea with Twilight feels quite alright!

I wake up on Twilight's floor. Again. Also: disoriented. Again. It feels like a repeat of this morning. I look up and see Twilight hiding a few feet behind Fluttershy, who stands overtop of me like a skyscraper. Her hands are folded and her face reads nothing but anger. I sense her foot twitch, a sign that she wants to kick me in the face, but she's too kind to do so. I let out a nervous laugh. "What's the deal, guys? Heh." Neither of them are laughing. I agree with them. It's not funny that Twilight saw that outburst and might just tell the guards about it. I try to leap for her, but I'm only etched forward an inch. I know why, they've tied me up! "Untie me you bastards! I'll kill you, Twilight!" They both approach me, with them opposite to each other, Shy standing by my head and Twi standing at me feet. They both kneel down and grab me with a firm grip on the rope around me. Fluttershy's grip is much stronger, and when she kneels down, she delivers a short message. "I think you need some time to calm down." That's when they both pull me up, holding me like a stretcher, and chucking me out the front door and straight into a pile of mud that the now-pouring rain exacerbates. I struggle to pull my mouth out to breathe, and when I flop onto my back, I hear the door slam closed.

Okay, maybe I did get carried away. Again. Always "again" with me. I repeat the same mistakes. Doesn't make much of a difference to me, as long as witnesses are taken care of. They have to free me at some point, and that's when I'll drag Twi down into the mud too, suffocating her, making her choke down the sloppy mud that'll fill her lungs and shut her body down! That horse! Hahaha! The thought of it excites me. I try to lift my hands into the air with a happy jolt, but I am restrained by the rope. I contain my excitement, and just wait for the two to come back out and untie me. Just waiting in the rain, which feels like a more bearable form of Chinese water-torture. Mmm... "torture." The word just makes me salivate. I lick my lips, which drags in the taste of mud. I gag and spit it out. I curse a few times, then attempt to get on my feet. It's near impossible, my feet try to kick but can't separate from each other. I do the next best thing I can think of: I punch my shoulder forward, rocking that way then back then forward then back then, rolling over and out of the mud.

I continuing rolling and I'm determined to roll into the streets of town, get noticed by a civilian, and freed thanks to them. I didn't make much progress, however, and after only a few minutes, Twi and Shy come out and pick me up to take me back inside. They lie me down on a giant towel, and I look at them with bloodlust, which I didn't mean to show. "I'm okay now, you guys can unwrap me, thank you." Twilight pulls out a book and starts reading from it. It sounds like old pony-Latin, which is commonly used for powerful spells and curses. This freaks me out and I try to roll again, this time to the door, but Shy hold me down. Twilight continues through the spell, which causes her book to light up pink and rise into the air. She finished it off with the words "Demonium penaldrum" and then the book falls to the ground. My body highlights pink just like the book had, but to me, I experience a sharp pain ripple through my body in one large wave that radiates through me. It fades, and that's when I feel my eyes start to burn.

My vision suddenly burned a dark red. "What did you do to me, you witch?! What is this?" Twilight smiled, trying to feign a sense of power and security, but she still appeared scared of me. She stuttered, saying "I just casted Demon Sight on you. For the rest of the day, you will be followed, watched, and screamed at by horrifying shadows and monsters! That's the punishment you get for trying to hurt me." She that last part very quick and curt. I fumed, with an invisible smoke that shot out of my ears and a silent whistle screeching at the top of its lungs. "Alright, I get it, let me go!" She used her horn to untie the rope, and I ran directly at her, lunging to grab her head and drive it into the ground. I was stopped in the air, and pain curled me up into a ball on the floor. "AHH, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" She had fear in her eyes when i leaped at her, I saw it! Now after I lay defenseless on my side, writhing, she stands there smiling. "I've casted a Painful Protection spell on myself. I knew you would try it again." I stand up and rub myself everywhere it hurts.

"You're evil." She rolled her eyes. Fluttershy giggled with her hood over her mouth. I picked up a cup and tossed it at the ceiling. "Well, the baby's crying. We'll be getting out of your hair, then. Thanks for inviting us over for tea Twilight!" They both waved and I stumbled out with Shy. The rain stopped and out came the sun. I could barely stand with the bruises and pains that still ailed me from there assault. Shy made no snide comments, and I refrained as well. "Is she gonna tell anypony about this?" Shy shook her head. "Nope. She had fun tossing you out. She said you could come back anytime you wanted someone to throw you in the mud again." I grumbled, and she let a smile slip out. She's against killing people, but she enjoys it when I suffer. What a hypocrite.
