The filly continued until she stood before her infant sibling, her little sister Surprise Topaz Pie. She had been quite the surprise to her parents, but they welcomed her as much as any child they had. That was until they began hearing the whispers. While the children had something of a natural resistance to this manipulation due to their innicence, innocence waned with age. Maud had yet to hear the whispers clearly, unlike Limestone. She could write paragraphs of the things she was told by the Boulder, like a spider had crawled in her ear to murmur when it needed to command.
For whatever reason, Maud rebuffed the urges of the manipulation, their toes simply did take hold on her. But she could feel it, looming in the air. It was watching through her eyes, and the eyes of her kin.
For one last time, she viewed her baby sister. Her blonde hair and violet blue eyes, and the innocence of her smile.
Maud took a pillow between her hooves, gently but firmly laying it against her infant sister Surprise’s face, and closed her eyes.
And pretended she didn’t exist.

More of a happy ending sorta guy myself though. Would be nice to see a part 2, running away with her sister instead sort of situation.
Maybe she takes her sister away and hides her in an orphanage or something before returning home. Her resulting punishment causes her to become the most emotionally reserved member of her family like in the show, but she never reveals where she hid her sister.
I don’t know. Just a thought.
Thank you for saying this because my retarded ass was smoking thc and I didn’t fucking notice until now
