A jolt of energy surged through Slate Pie. He pushed himself up, knocking into the other earthpony's jaw with his skull. She fell backward, startled and dazed. He swiveled and kicked, and with a sickening crack, her fate was sealed.
He galloped across the field toward the grotesque sight of the pegasus mounting his wife, wings fully flared, back turned. As he ran, he grabbed a pick in his mouth.
Time seemed to slow as the final fatal steps were taken. With a grace he could feel in his bones, he turned his neck and plunged the pick directly between Hickory's quadruple shoulderblades.
With a half-whinny, the rapist slid off. But that wasn't enough for Slate. The pick rose and fell, rose and fell, until Hickory was a horrid mess and his own front was covered in blood. Then a sound registered, a sound he'd been hearing for minutes but ignoring. Coquina was sobbing. He put down the pick and held his wife.
The next day, they dug a hole and buried the olive-colored earthpony and the rose-coated pegasus. They built a house on top of the hole where they buried the secret, then moved into the house on top of the hole. For a long time, there was no talking, there was no laughing. For the good family Pie, there were only rocks. |
