"Dash! Over here!"
Rainbow Dash did a barrel roll and turned sharply to falcon-dive to land gracefully next to Gilda the Griffon.
"Gilda, I thought I had told you. I don't want you to show your face around here anymore. I'm not a bad friend, and you—"
"Chill, my bro. I came here to see you, and none other."
"Spit it out before I have to pound it out of you," shot Dash, threatening Gilda with the sharp end of her hoof.
"Now, now, Rainbow Crash," The mention of her old taunting nickname made Rainbow Dash cringe. "You don't have the guts to do that, and anyway, I have talons. Do you really want to go against these?" She held her massive talon to Rainbow Dash's throat. "Now, we're going on a walk. I'm really disappointed in you, Rainbow Crash. You were so brave, when you were my friend. Now look at you. A speck in the air, scared to even face a rabbit. You're worse than Flutterbitch…"
Rainbow Dash felt her blood boil. No one talked about her friends like that.
She was silent as Gilda led her into the darkest part of the forest. The razor sharp claw at her throat drew a pinpoint of blood. It trickled steadily down her neck, all the way to the tip of her hoof. They stopped when they reached a clearing.
"You're staying here," said Glenda. She used her talon to drill a hole into Dash's hoof. Blood spread in a fractal of red around Rainbow Dash's hoof while Gilda used the piece of hoof to shape a perfect nail, with which she nailed Dash's other hoof into the ground. The pain streaking through Rainbow Dash's body was enough to make her faint, but she stood tall and tried her best to hide the tremors that shook her muscles. Gilda smiled. "Oh, so feisty…" she muttered. She headed off into a thicket.
She returned a few moments later laden with crimson leaves.
"I'm really sorry it had to end this way, but you see, you will always be scum on the Earth to me." She began pacing around Rainbow Dash. "Have you ever wondered what death feels like?" she asked, stopping as she came around to face Dash.
In one swift movement, she was whispering in Rainbow Dash's ear.
"Well, Rainbow Crash? I do. I wonder all day what it'll feel like to die. Let's see. There are many ways of going about it…" She began pacing again. "There's the theory that good people go to Heaven, and the bad ones go to Hell. But, however, how do they decide where you go? And if that's the case, I'll meet you below... There is also that theory that you are reincarnated. Me? I believe we come from the dirt…and that's all we will become. That's why I want you to find out."
Rainbow Dash knew that this was the end… She couldn't help wondering, however. Would she die instantly upon eating those leaves, or would it be painful? She knew she had no choice but to find out, however and accepted her fate with grim reality.
"Here… Have a taste…" said Gilda, plucking the brightest red leaf from the top of the pile. Rainbow Dash ate it…
"NO! RARITY!"
She was falling, plummeting quickly through the air. She had to save her!
But no. It would be so great to watch her die. Her heart stopping, her organs exploding from her mouth, her eye sockets…
Rainbow Dash awoke. Glenda was staring. "Was that nice and…painful, Dashie?" she asked with a sneer.
She just stood there. The world was red. Gilda's face was blurred, and all of a sudden, she anticipated streaks of blood, dripping from her beak, her eyes, her ears… Yes. That was good. So pleasurable…
With the swiftness of a peregrine falcon, she leaped from the ground. The nail tore itself from the earth. There was pain. Pain was good. Causing pain… was better. She soared into the bloodred sky, then turned around and dove. There was wind shrieking beside her ears. She aimed her hooves, and with one swift movement, crushed Gilda's chest. Every bone breaking was a sound of bliss. She felt them stab into her internal organs. Gilda's shocked face quivered as blood was purged from her mouth, spattering her white feathers with crimson. Her eyes rolled into her head, blood oozing from their sockets. Rainbow Dash knew she was barely alive, aimed her hoof and split her heart in two. The muscles clenched once more, sending a splotch of gore spraying into Rainbow Dash's face.
She smiled. Pleasure of no other kind gushed through her very veins.
