I wake up tied to a chair, deep underground in the Canterlot Caves. I frantically look for a way to escape - hey, Twilight did it, didn't she? - and I find none. Suddenly, I realize I'm not alone. Cruel laughter fills my ears.

I wake up tied to a chair, deep underground in the Canterlot Caves. I frantically look for a way to escape - hey, Twilight Sparkle and Cadance did it, didn't they? - and I find none. Suddenly, I realize I'm not alone. Cruel laughter fills my ears. I struggle against my bonds as I realize who is standing less than a foot away from me; after all, King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis aren't exactly the pair I'd ever have wanted to meet - especially when I'm all alone, and nopony can hear me scream…

Part 1: Violated

I strained against the ropes that bound both sets of my hooves.  I was tied to a chair.  In the dim light escaping from my horn, I looked around at the crystal walls that surrounded me.  “Yep,” I said, “I’m definitely in the Canterlot Caves.  Now...how exactly did I get here?  And....why am tied up?”

A chuckling filled the room, and the shadows seemed to crawl.

I gulped nervously, trying to push down my fear.  “H-h-hello?  Who’s there?”

The chuckling that seemed to fill my head seemed so familiar...I know I’d heard it before...

“Why hello, young one,” a seducing voice whispered in my right ear.

I jerked in surprise.  “Gah!  Um...hi....Who are you?  Why can’t I see very well in here?  Why isn’t my magic working?”

“My, my, my.  What a talkative one you picked, Sombra.”

I stiffened.  “Did you just say....”

“Oh, you’re familiar with the king?”

My mouth went dry.  I moaned slightly, banging the back of my head into the chair until a hoof stopped me from doing much damage. “Don’t stop me,” I muttered, “I want to die.  I don’t ever want to see Sombra’s face again...”

“Now, now,” the voice cooed, “don’t be hurting yourself.  If you’re broken, how are we to have fun with you?”

I became still, fear coursing through my body.  I had finally recognized the voice.  “Chrysalis?” I whispered.  “No, it can’t be you...you...you were banished...”

“To the Everfree?  Pah.  That’s just an old mare’s tale.”

I gulped.  “How...how did you get back into Canterlot?”

“Get ‘back’ into Canterlot?  Why, I never left!  When those little foals banished me, what they didn’t realize was that they’d send me back to where I was born.  Which, as you can guess, is right here.”

I blinked rapidly, trying to see in the dim light escaping from my horn.  I closed my eyes and attempted to make the light brighter, but I was not granted that privilege.  I was exhausted for reasons unknown to me.  I turned towards where Chrysalis’ voice had come from.  “Why am I so tired, and why is my magic not working?”

She chuckled.  “Oh, that little detail still bothering you, is it?”

I shrugged as best as I could.  “If I’m going to be stuck here, I might as well make good use of my time.”

“You do seem very smart.  Perhaps Sombra did choose well.”

“What does Sombra have to do with anything?”

I felt Chrysalis’ hair whip against my bare neck. I cringed.  “Ew...” I muttered, realizing that it was oily, and smelled like sweat with just a hint of rotten flesh.  Its texture was similar to toilet paper dipped in oil and then torn into shreds - very soft, but disgusting.

“Ah, ah, ah,” she chided.  “Only one question will be answered at a time.  You get two questions to start out.  If you’re good enough, we’ll let you ask more.  You can ask one to me, and one to Sombra.”

“Okay...” I trailed off, thinking hard of how I would word my question.  I wanted to ask the most important thing first, just in case Chrysalis went back on her word.  “My first question is to you, Chrysalis.  Why isn’t my magic working properly?”

The queen laughed.  I caught a glimpse of her white teeth as her mouth opened wide.  “Sombra and I have combined our powers and made this place sound-proof, escape-proof, and magic-proof.  Well, all magic except mine and his, of course.  I am truly astounded you’re even able to get that small flicker of light out.  It must be exhausting.”

I gulped as I realized what she was doing.  She had slowly started walking towards me, and reached me about half-way through her answer.  With every other word she spoke, she traced my chin with her tail.  Is she trying to seduce me?  Ew! I thought, nearly cringing as her tail slowly traced an outline around my lips and nose.  “How do I get out of here, then, Chrysalis?”

“You only get to ask one question per pony!”

“This question is part of the first.  The reason I asked the first was to find out if it would answer the second, which it didn’t.  That’s why I’m asking you now.”

“Ugh.  You and your technicalities.”  Chrysalis rolled her eyes dramatically.  “Fine.  If you really want to know, you have to do exactly as Sombra and I say, when we say it.  If I say jump, you ask ‘how high?’  If I say crawl around on the ground and eat the dirt, you better be getting on your knees.”

I tried to nod my head, realizing with shock that it was now being held in place by magic.  I barely noticed the green ropes falling away from my body, as I was still being held in place by a green magical aura.  “Where is Sombra?  I want to ask him a question.”

Chrysalis chuckled.  “Just look for his eyes.”

I glanced around, and finally spotted him in a corner.  “Sombra, my next question is for you.”

He nodded his head, but said nothing.

“Why am I here?  In other words, what exactly do you guys have to gain by keeping me here against my will?”

His eyes narrowed.  A low, guttural sound came from the corner.  “Ask Chrysalissssss,” he said, his voice nearly matching a snake's hissing.

I shrugged.  “Chrys?  Think you can answer it for him?”

Chrysalis threw her head back and roared with laughter.  “Why should I?”

“Because you said I got two questions, and only one has been answered!”

Chrysalis shrugged.  “You’ll find out soon enough what we want with you.  See you later, my little....” she trailed off, looking at me with slightly seductive eyes.  “....snowflake.”

The only light in the caves left as Chrysalis flew out, Sombra hot on her tail.  I was left in complete darkness.

I was smacked awake.  “OW!” I yelled, cringing from the stinging blow that had been delivered to my cheek.  I realized I was on the floor, and shook my head to clear it.  Where are the ropes? I thought absentmindedly, suddenly realizing I was free.  I could escape, or at least look for a way to escape!

“Serves you right,” Chrysalis said, kicking me in the stomach this time.

I cringed, tears filling my eyes.  “What did I ever do to you?”

“You fell asleep!” she exclaimed.  “You don’t ever fall asleep when you’re expecting company!”

“Sure, Mom,” I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes as I spoke.

The next blow was more painful, and I cried out in pain.  Chrysalis smiled.  “Oh, you like that, do you?”

“No!” I yelled out, squirming as she placed a hoof on my back.  With this one touch, I suddenly stopped moving.  I tried to move my legs and hooves, but nothing would budge!  I felt like I was glued to the floor.  “CHRYSALIS!” I yelled as I frantically struggled to move something other than my head, “LET ME UP!”

Chrysalis laughed.  “Why, Snowflake, I thought you liked a little foreplay.”

I stopped trying to move.  “What...what did you just say?” I whispered, suddenly feeling very weak and frightened.

“Foreplay.  You know, sex?”

I cringed when I heard the word.  “No.  Anything but that.  Please!  Don’t do this to me, Chrysalis!”

“What’s wrong, Snowflake?”

“That’s not my name!”

“Will you tell me your name, then, sweetie?” she spat out.

“NO!” I yelled.

“Then I’ll continue to call you Snowflake.  Now, what’s the deal with you and sex?  You afraid to get a little...dirty?”

Had I been able to move, I would have bucked her in the face.  “I...I...I...”  I lowered my voice to nearly a whisper.  “I’ve never had sex.”

“What was that?” she asked, bending over and shoving her face up to mine.  “Didn’t hear you.”

“I’m a virgin.”

An evil grin spread across her features.  “Oh?”

“Yeah.  Never had sex, and I don’t plan on having sex any time soon.”

“And why not?  I assure you, it’s very fun.”

“I’m...I’m asexual.”

“You can reproduce with yourself?”

“No!” I said angrily.

“Are you missing some sexual parts?”

“No, I’ve got everything down there.”

“Then what exactly is ‘asexual’?”

“It means I don’t ever want to have sex with anypony or any thing.”

Chrysalis straightened up and lifted her hoof off of my back.  “But you’ve never had sex.  How do you know you don’t like it if you’ve never tried it?”

“I....I....I...I just don’t want to have it, okay?”

“What kinds of sex are you against?”

“All kinds! Oral, anal, intercourse...all of it!”  I shook myself as I stood up and faced Chrysalis.

Chrysalis smiled.  “And why are you so adamant about hating it, hm?”

“It’s disgusting! You want to rub your privates up against mine?  You want to stick a dick in me?  That’s vile!”

Chrysalis’ smile widened.  “But you do know that it causes immense pleasure, right?”

“I don’t care!  I’m not having it with anypony or any thing!”

Chrysalis’ eyes narrowed, and her wings fluttered.  “You know I need it to live, right?”

I frowned at this.  “What do you mean?  All you need is love.  Love isn’t sex.”

“Technically I need love.  But what is another name for the performance of sex?”

“‘Love-making,’” I whispered, suddenly realizing where she was going.

“Exactly,” she whispered as she took a step forward, a seductive smile forming on her lips.

I started to shake as I backed away.  “But...but...but what about Sombra?  I’m sure he could give you a better time than me!  He’s had more experience!”

Chrysalis rolled her eyes and stopped moving forward.  “He’s had sex with me too many times to count.  He’s become boring.  The same performance, every single time....for years we’ve been down here, bucking nearly every week....but I tire of his performance.  He’s grown old and boring.  I need somepony new.  Somepony who’s a girl.”

I gulped as I scrambled to get away.  “Well....I may be female, but I assure you I’m not a girly girl.”

Chrysalis smiled and started moving forward again.  “All I want is your body.”

My eyes widened in fear as I turned and raced away.  I was running faster than I ever had, but I couldn’t find an escape!  I glanced at the walls, silently cursing them as I noted that they were slick and without any cracks.  I couldn’t bust open these walls even if I was strong enough - my magic would be needed to do such a thing, and while Chrysalis was in the room, I couldn’t use it.  I started to sweat, getting more nervous every time I came to a wall that was perfectly formed.  Suddenly, I realized I wasn’t being chased.  I ceased running, and turned and looked at Chrysalis, who was still standing at the other end of the room.

“Are you done yet?”

I gasped for air.  My lungs were burning from my long run.  I frantically looked around the room.  “Where’s Sombra?”

“He’s out getting food for my changelings.”

I gasped.  “You rebuilt your army?!”

“Why, of course.  I need somepony to do my bidding, right?”

“But...why can’t I see any of them?  Where are they right now?”

“This is my royal chamber.  They’re in the chamber a couple miles down.”

I gulped.  “Why not have all of you be in the same place?”

“Because then every single one would try to hump me.”

I cringed at the image that popped up in my head.  “W-w-well, that doesn’t sound too bad for you.  Didn’t you just say you needed a break from Sombra?”

She rolled her eyes as she took some steps closer.  “They’re all male.  Same anatomy.”

“You can’t honestly tell me you’ve never had females in here.”

“You’re correct.  I have had one or two captives in here who were female.”

I swallowed nervously.  “Then why do one more?”

“Because I’ve never bucked a virgin before.”

I continued to back up until I hit the wall.  My eyes widened in fear as Chrysalis kept coming.  “P-p-p-please, Chrysalis...” I trailed off, trying to think of what I could possibly say to change her mind.  “I....I...I don’t love you!  Doesn’t that mean that you won’t get any love from me if you...um...”

“Buck you?”

I cringed.  “Yes, that.”

She was only two feet away from me now, and closing the distance fast.  “If you love me, then I get more love.  But actually ‘love-making’ gives me enough energy for weeks.  You love me, and we have sex, well...I’m good for months.”

I swallowed nervously, and my eyes darted about frantically as I looked for a way to escape.  I cringed as her hair brushed against my neck.  “P-p-please...” I whimpered as I looked into her eyes.  “Don’t do this....”

She simply smiled seductively, and placed a hoof on my bosom.  “Well, I can’t do anything if I don’t strip you first.”  She pushed me up against the wall, balancing herself on her back legs and forcing me to do the same.  She roughly ripped my shirt off, staring at my undershirt underneath with a pouty expression on her face.

I turned bright red.  I’d never even been this close to being naked in front of anyone.  “What?” I asked.  “Having second thoughts?”  Maybe my extraordinarily small chest will turn her off!  Maybe I won’t actually have to bear with this after all!

Chrysalis continued to pout as she looked up at me.  “Are you wearing a padded bra?”

My already flushed face became a deeper shade of red.  “Um...can’t you tell?”

Chrysalis’ pout ceased immediately as she ripped - and I literally mean ripped; that shirt was in so many pieces I’d never have gotten it back together - my undershirt off with her sharp fangs.  She grinned as she saw my padded bra.  “Now we get to have some fun...” she said as she swiftly slid a hoof up underneath my bra.

I squealed in fear and jerked.  “Don’t do that!” I exclaimed as I leapt away from her.

Chrysalis’ eyes narrowed as she pounced on me, pinning me to the ground.  “Running away from me will just make this harder.”  She used her magic to rip off my bra, completely exposing my top half.

Tears streamed down my cheeks.  I was humiliated.  I jerked around, trying to free my hooves so I could cover myself back up.  “Please...please don’t stare...” I muttered, still jerking my apendages.

Chrysalis smiled as she leaned down and started licking my chest.  “Mmmm...” she trailed off.  “You taste so sweet....”

I almost screamed.  Her tongue, just licking my breasts...it was repulsive.

Her tongue picked up pace, swirling around my nipples and eventually making its way up my neck.  She reached my mouth in no time.

“Please....” I trailed off, knowing my begging would amount to nothing.  “Please, don’t - ” I broke off as I felt a new sensation between my legs.  Chrysalis was rubbing her hoof rapidly against my privates, and I felt the strange sensation of wanting to release all the urine in my body.  “DON’T DO THAT!” I screeched, stiffening up almost immediately.

Chrysalis laughed.  “I’ll do what I please with you.”  While picking up the pace of her left hoof - which was on my privates - she then lifted her right hoof and placed it on one of my breasts, and started to do something with it...she was almost massaging it.  Without any warning, she pushed her mouth against mine.

I screamed and tried to jerk away.  Her magic forced me to stop moving.  I felt her tongue swirl around my mouth, and I didn’t respond at all.

She pulled out and stared at me.  “Kiss me, you foal!”

“No!” I yelled back.  “It’s bad enough you’re trying to make me masturbate - I am not going to do anything for you in return for that!”

Her eyes narrowed as she kissed me again.  My tongue started to move by itself.  I suddenly realized Chrysalis was using her magic to move my tongue in time with hers.

Tears started to slowly leak out of my eyes.  This is horrible.

Chrysalis finally pulled back, a satisfied smirk on her lips.  “I grow tired of simply touching you,” she mused, taking both hooves off my body.  “Let’s strip you some more, shall we?”

“NO!” I screamed as I attempted to move away.  Chrysalis’ magic was more powerful than ever.

She used her hooves to pull my pants down, and when they were completely off, she stared at my underwear, a delighted and lustful look on her face.  She leaned down and started to pull them off with her teeth, but then decided not to.  She let go of my underwear and continued to stare at my body.  Her face suddenly lit up - she had gotten an idea.  Chrysalis used her hooves to slowly inch my underwear off my body, stopping every so often to stare at the small amount of fur she’d exposed.  She finished quickly, tearing off my underwear with a flourish.  She stared lustfully at my body, and wasted no time at all.

I practically screamed as she pushed my legs apart.  “PLEASE! DON’T DO THIS! THIS IS RAPE!  THIS IS RAPE!”

Chrysalis just smiled.  “The other fifty ponies that came before you said that to me, and I didn’t care then.  I certainly don’t care now.”

She stuck her head down by my privates, and started to suck the juices I couldn’t help but excrete.  Of course, her sucking only made me wetter, and my face more flushed.  This is horrible.  I don’t want to have sex with her!  She’s disgusting!

She chuckled to herself as she spread my legs farther apart.  She finished sucking me, and then swirled her tongue around my slit.

I tensed up immediately.  No.  No.  You aren’t going to enjoy this.  But....it's sort of okay....No!  She’s a hideous creature!  You can’t enjoy this!  But....it’s....it's actually kind of nice...

Chrysalis then jammed her tongue onto my clit.

My back ached as it attempted to arch up.  I almost screamed, pleasure rocketing through my body.  NO! I screamed in my mind.  You can’t enjoy this!  She’s evil!  She’s trying to make you enjoy this!  It’s disgusting, right?  Right.  So stop enjoying it!

Chrysalis laughed as she saw my freaked-out expression.  “Not enjoying it yet?”

“Nope,” I managed to say through clenched teeth.

Chrysalis just smiled, my juices dripping off of her muzzle.  She spread her own legs, and started pushing her privates against mine.

I think I blacked out.  The last thing I remember was horror replacing any amount of pleasure I’d felt up until then.  Then...only blackness.

I woke up covered in blood and fluids, and I could tell by the smell that only part of it was mine.  I burst into tears nearly immediately, looking around for something to help me stand up.  I was very weak, and my legs didn’t seem to want to work with me.  I stumbled around, trying to simply stand, but to no avail.

Chuckling filled the room...but it wasn’t Chrysalis.

As I faceplanted the floor, I mumbled, “Who is it this time?”

I felt a body pin me to the floor, my mouth tasting dirt.  “Pah!” I spit.  “What’s the big idea?!”

Suddenly, I felt something wet brush against my slit. “We gonna do thissss the hard way, or the eassssy way?”

I tensed.  Oh no.  No.  No. No. No. No....NO!

“Well, Ssssssnowflake?”

“What exactly is the hard way?”  I croaked out.

“You don’t co-operate, I buck you longer.”

I gulped.  After struggling against his hooves, I realized I’d not be able to get out from underneath him.  I sighed.  “Do what you want with me, Sombra.”

I heard him chuckle as he thrust his dick into me.  I screamed.  “OW!” I shrieked, my pain-filled voice echoing off the walls.  “BE GENTLE!  This...this...this is my first time...”  Tears filled my eyes.  No.  No.  You’re not going to take this lying down!  Fight back!  I suddenly arched my back and threw Sombra off of me.  I raced off, still very wobbly on my feet.

He caught me and pinned me to the ground.  “For that, Sssssssnowflake, you’ll be getting bucked for another whole half hour.”

I started to wail.  “YOU’RE RAPING ME!”

He paused.

I felt the juices from his dick drip down and land on my legs and stomach.  I cringed every time a droplet splattered against me.

“I am, aren’t I?” he asked, quickly getting off of me and giving me a hard look.

I was still crying, tears streaming down my cheeks.  “Please...please...just leave me alone...”

Sombra trotted over to my head, and leaned down, nose to nose with me.  He stared at me for a long time.  “I’m sssssorry,” he finally whispered.  “No one ever told me that thissssss wassss...rape.”

I just continued crying and eventually tried to flinch away from him.

“I’m sssssssssssso sssssorry.”  He leaned down and pecked me on the lips.  It was tender, and gentle, and..

I blacked out again.

I jerked awake.  I blinked hard, squinting against the light that filled the cave.  After glancing around a bit and getting my bearings, I tried to stand up.  I could do so easily.  I sighed as I glanced around.  “Alone again, eh?” I said to no one in particular.

I shuddered as I sat down.  “Why must I remember all that happened yesterday?” I mumbled, tears filling my eyes.  Suddenly, I had a horrid thought.  “What if I’m....pregnant?” I whispered, glancing down to my stomach.  “I...I don’t think I could kill it, but.....but.....how will I live with this horrid memory for....nine months?”  I shook my head.  “No.  NO.  You’re probably not pregnant.  It was one night!  And I don’t even know if he cummed, anyway.”

Suddenly, I noticed that my body didn’t have a speck of dirt or blood on it.  “Wonder who cleaned me up,” I muttered, my mind still focused on whether or not I was pregnant.

A noise made me look up.  A black aura surrounded the being descending into the room from above. Hm.  Why didn’t I think of a levitation spell?  That should be fairly easy to do.  Well, it’s easy when I’m well fed, at least...

Sombra landed barely a foot away from me.

I looked at the ground.  “You need something?” I asked quietly.

He shook his head.  “Just wanted to ssssssee if you were awake.”

“Oh.”

I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.  I finally just lied down and set my head upon my front hooves, sighing as my stomach rumbled.

“You hungry?”

I shrugged.  “Yeah, but I don’t want to eat right now.  I can’t stop thinking of last night.  And the fact that I might be preggo now.”

I heard him swallow and shuffle his feet.  “I can get you sssssomething to eat.”

I scoffed.  “Don’t bother.  I’m not worth it.”

I heard his footsteps retreat, and then the sound of his magic levitating him up and out of the cavern.  I sighed as I looked down at the dirt.  “Wonder if it is edible...” I trailed off, shaking my head.  “Cows can’t even eat dirt.  If cows can’t eat it, it ain’t edible.”

I circled around for a bit, and finally got tired enough that I fell asleep.  I woke to the sound of something being thrown to the ground.  My eyes flew open, and I jerked up, glancing around with a worried look on my face.  When I saw the pink bowl in front of me, I stopped moving.  Inside it was a cake from Sugarcube Corner.  I loved Pinkie’s cakes.  I’d never told anyone, but I usually ate one of her cakes at least once a month.  My favorite was the zucchini cake with cream cheese frosting.  It was to die for.  And there it was.  Sitting there in the bowl.

I shook my head.  “No,” I muttered.  “It’s probably poisoned.”

I felt something brush my right leg, and I looked over.  Sombra was sitting next to me, and his tail had brushed my thigh.  “‘Sssssssup?” he asked.

“Thanks for the food, faggot,” I muttered as I pushed the bowl away.

“What?” he asked, tilting his head.  “You don’t like cakesssss?”

“I love cakes.  This one’s just poisoned.  I know it.  How else would you get rid of me?”

“It’sssss not poisssssoned!” he exclaimed as he trotted over to the bowl.

Suddenly, I realized that he didn’t have his cape on.  “Where’s your cape?”

He shrugged.  “It getsssss in the way.  And it’sssssss hot.”

Despite my sour attitude, I smiled.  When I realized I what I was doing, I wiped the smile off my face.  Turning back to Sombra, I realized something else.  “You’re not wearing your crown.  Or your armor.  Why?”

Sombra looked down to the ground.  “I only ever wore thossssse thingssss becaussssse I didn’t have a reasssssson to not wear them.”

“And what’s your reason now?”

He shrugged.  “Getting you food.”

“Well, you’ll have to prove that this ain’t poisoned.  And after that you can get back to wearin’ your stuff.”

He shook his head as he bent down and took a bite of the cake.  Crumbs were all over his lips.  “Sssssssee?” he said with his mouth full.  “No poissssson.”

“Pah!” I scoffed.  “I’ll believe that when you swallow it and don’t keel over.”

He narrowed his eyes, but swallowed anyway.  “There.  No poisssssson.”

“Oh, just give it a minute,” I said, staring at him intently.  “Some poisons take awhile to fully register in the body’s systems.”  Suddenly aware of whom I was speaking to, I looked down to the ground.

I could hear that Sombra was hurt.  “What isssss wrong?”

“You bucked me.  I don’t want any part of you.  Now get out of here!”

He trotted over to me, and lifted my head with his bare hoof.  “I didn’t want to buck you....Chrysssalisssssss made me.....”

I waved my hoof in the air in a dismissive manner.  “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ll believe that when I hear it come out of her own mouth.”

“From the beginning I wasssss not sssssure I wanted to buck you.  I mean, I wanted to eventually, of coursssssse, but not right away like Chrysssalisss planned.”

I shrugged.  “Deed’s been done already.  Can’t take it back now.”

“I have alwayssssss cared about you.”

“Yeah, well I don’t care about you,” I said, jerking away from him.  “Go spread your sob story to some other mare who will actually give a rip.”

“But...but....but....”

“Oh, stop your blubbering!” I snapped at him.  Suddenly, I realized what I was doing.  Shooooooot....he’s going to be mad now.....yup.  I”m dead.  I glanced over at him, and he looked crushed.  I cleared my throat.  “What I meant to say is....it’s too soon for me to want anypony.  I...I was just raped....twice.  I need a lot of time to get over that.  A lot of time....and cake.”

He perked up at the sound of ‘cake.’  “I can get you sssssssome more.”

“Nah, lemme eat this one first.”

He simply nodded and watched me as I trotted over to the bowl.

I glanced his way, noting that he’d not fallen over dead.  I leaned down to the bowl, and licked up some of the cake.  I smiled.  “It’s....perfect,” I muttered before completely shoving it in my mouth.  I finished the whole cake in under seven minutes.

Sombra smiled as he looked at me.

I noticed that his eyes weren’t the same colors.  His pupils were black, not red like they usually were.  The smoke billowing from the corners of his eyes was no longer purple, but more lavender in color.  The green of his eyes had lightened so that they were very close to mint-green.  I tilted my head.  “Your eyes change color?”

He frowned.  “I don’t really know.  Never looked at my eyessssss for very long.”

“Oh,” I said, looking back down to the ground.  “So, um....got any more cake?”

Part 2: A Twisted Friendship

Every day Sombra would bring me something from Sugarcube Corner.  Sometimes it was cupcakes, and other times it was donuts.  Once he even managed to bring me five boxes of cream-filled crepes, and they were delicious.  He’d watch me eat, and then take the garbage wherever he decided to take it, so it didn’t litter up the chamber.  We’d sometimes chat while I scarfed down the food, and he’d occasionally ask for a bit or two.  I’d usually just give him a whole donut, or a cupcake, or whatever he happened to bring.  I never even thought to ask him about something, except one day when he spoke up about it....

I was shoving two donuts in my mouth at the same time, because the previous day Sombra hadn’t visited at all, so I didn’t get anything to eat.  I was ravenous.  “Mmmmm....These are delicious!” I said after I swallowed.  “Thanks a ton, Sombra.”

Sombra simply nodded.  He was staring at the box of donuts with a lustful look in his eyes.

I paused before I shoved another donut into my mouth.  I tapped him on the arm with my hoof as I held up the donut with my magic.  “Want one?”

His face lit up as he took the donut with his magic.  He shoved it into his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed.

I frowned.  “If you were hungry, why didn’t you eat some of them on the way over here?”

He looked down to the ground and scuffed his bare feet - since he continued to get food for me, he said, he was less of a sore thumb if he didn’t wear anything out in public.  He mumbled something incoherent.

“Sorry, couldn’t hear you,” I said, watching him intently.

“I wanted you to eat them all...” he repeated.

I frowned.  “If you’re hungry, then go ahead and eat a couple!  It’s not very good for me to be eating sweets every day, anyway.  In fact, I’m getting tired of sweets.  Here,” I said, levitating the box over to him and dropping it at his feet.  “You eat the rest.  I’ll be fine for the rest of the day.”  My stomach, being of horrid timing, decided to rumble right as I finished that sentence.  I smiled and shrugged it off.  “See?  It’s digesting.  I’ll be fine.”

Sombra frowned at me, but took the donut box anyway.  Before long he was shoving donuts into his mouth at an even quicker speed than I had been.

I waited until he was finished eating before I asked him my question.  “Sombra?  Why are you here with Chrysalis?”

Sombra looked to the ground.  “Sssshe ssssaid that sssshe’d tell everypony about what I did...and I don’t want them to know...”

“What could you have done that was so bad?” I asked, smiling in a friendly way.

He shook his head.  “I was mean to an entire racccce.”

“Who, the Crystal Ponies?” I asked, smiling.  “That’s water under the bridge.  I’m sure everypony’s forgotten about that now.”

“No...I wassss the reasssson Nightmare Moon came to be about.  I teamed up with Chryssssalisss and Disssscord and changed Luna into that hideousssss beasssst.  Now I’m paying for my crimesssss in this dungeon.”

“Technically, this is a room or cavern.  But I get what you’re saying.”

“Glad ssssssomepony undersssstandssss.”

“Is that why you have that speech impediment?”

“What?  My ssssspeech ssssssounds funny to you?”

“A little bit, yes.”

“I need to work on sssssspeaking better, then.”

“Oh, it’s fine.  I just wondered why you talked like that.”

He shrugged.  “I don’t know.  I’ve alwayssssss sssssspoken like this.”

I nodded.  Suddenly, I thought of something.  “Sombra?  Why is Chrysalis in here?  Is she making you stay here?”

He nodded.  “I don’t know why Chryssssalisss isssss in here.  Sssssshe isssss making me sssstay, though.  I don’t want to sssssstay, but ssssshe won’t take ‘no’ for an anssssswer.”

I frowned.  “Can’t you just levitate out of here?”

“Changelingsssssss in the next chamber, remember?”

My frown increased.  “Oh.  And lemme guess: they’re trained to kill anypony who disagrees with or disobeys Chrysalis.”

Sombra nodded.  “Yessssss, unfortunately.”

“Chrysalis allows you to go out and get food, though.  What if you didn’t come back?”

“The changelingsssss would find me and hurt me and any other poniesssss who were around me.  I don’t want any other poniessss to get hurt because of me ever again.”

I nodded, placing a hoof on his back.  “We’ll get out of here somehow.  I just know it.”

“I promissssssse you I’ll try to find a way out of here.  I’ll sssssave you.”

I frowned, quickly taking back my hoof.  “I don’t need saving from anypony but myself.”

Sombra looked at me, his eyes taking on a blue tint.  “But you need ssssaving now.  Why aren’t you sssssaving yourself?”

I sighed.  “Because I need help.”

“I can help, I guessssss....”

“Sure.  You can help me get out of here.”

He nodded, a smile on his face.  “Sssssssounds good.”

I stared at the ground for a moment, collecting my thoughts.  “You know, Sombra, when I first heard you resided here, I didn’t want any part of it.  We’d come in contact in the past, and...well, you remember how horrible it was back then.  I didn’t want any part of what Chrysalis had planned, or with what you had planned.  But now that I’ve gotten to know you, I understand that you’re a good guy; you’ve just been misled and told that doing the wrong thing is right.”

Sombra nodded as he stared at the empty donut box.  “I want to be a good pony...”

“And you’ll eventually be one.  It’ll just take some time for the other ponies to come around.  But they’ll eventually admit that you are better now.  You’re not quite so evil and bad.”

He smiled as he looked at me, but his smile melted into a slight frown.  “You have crumbs on your mouth.”

I laughed.  “You should see your own mouth!  There are so many crumbs on there, I can barely see the lips underneath!”

He chuckled, but his chuckling faded away as he stared at me.

I was a bit unnerved.  “Why are you staring at me like that?” I asked quietly as I stopped laughing.

He tilted his head, still staring at me.

I squirmed as I stood up, and slowly started backing away.  “Please, Sombra...don’t do anything you’ll regret later...”

He stood up and walked towards me; every step I took, he took two.  He quickly caught up with me as I slammed into the wall behind me.

I whimpered.  “P-p-p-please....I....I...I thought I could believe in you....”

He tilted his head again, a smile playing at his lips.  He leaned forward and gently pressed his lips against mine.

To say I freaked out is an understatement.  I jumped and jerked away from him faster than a pig on bath day.  When I’d calmed down, I glanced over at him, my eyes wide with fear.

After observing my reaction, his demeanor took on a sulky air.  “I’m ssssssorry.  I wasssss too rough, wasssssn’t I?”

I was out of breath.  “N-n-n-n-no.  You were very...gentle.”

He glanced up at me.  “Then why did you run away?”

“It’s....too soon, Sombra.  I still haven’t forgotten what you and Chrysalis did to me.”

He frowned.  “I’ve changed!  That wasssssssss in the passssssssst!”

I sighed.  “I know, I know.  I understand you’re not like that anymore.  But it’s going to be a long time before I fully trust somepony again.”

He sat down and sulked.  “Chryssssalisss ruins everything.”

I thought for a moment as I looked at him.  “That doesn’t sound like a very good friendship, now does it?”

“No,” he mumbled.  “It’s not a friendship at all...it’ssssssss jusssssst....a ssssssstupid acquaintance.”

I shook my head.  “Did she ever make you do anything that you didn’t want to do?”

He blushed and looked away.  “Ssssssssshe sometimesssss ussssssses her magic on me; sssssshe makesssss me do thingssssss I’ve only ever wanted to do with a sssssspecial ssssomepony, and then ssssshe focessssss me to do them with ssssssomepony elssssse.  I get very ssssssad that sssssshe does that.”

I scoffed.  “What a twisted friendship.”

“She’sssssss not even my friend.  It’ssssss more of a twisssssssted relationship than a twisssssssted friendship.”

I smiled and sat next to him.  “We can still be friends, though.  If you don’t mind, I mean.  Is that okay?” I held out my hoof, waiting for him to either shake it or bump it.

He stared at my white hoof for awhile, and then smiled.  He reached out and shook it with his own grey hoof.  “I’d be glad to be friendsssssss with you.”

Part 3: Humiliation

Sombra rolled over.  Unfortunately, that also meant he’d rolled on top of me.

My eyes snapped open and I whinnied in surprise, practically bucking him off of me with my weak back legs.

Sombra came to right as he was about to hit the wall, and somehow turned so he landed on his hooves.  He cast an angry glace at me, but when he saw my frightened face, the anger seemed to leave him immediately.  “Ssssssorry,” he murmured.  “Didn’t mean to get that clossssse.”

I blushed crimson.  “Um....uh....yeah.  Sure.  It’s in the past now, anyway.  I’m not going to dwell on it....”  I shuffled my hooves.  “Hopefully....”

He sighed and trotted over to me.  He slung an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into an awkward half-hug.

I smiled sadly, and leaned my head gently against his neck.  He was so strong, and yet...he chose to not overpower me and make me do something against my will.  He respects me.  Realizing the position I was in - not to mention the horrid thoughts suddenly pouring into my mind - I leapt back, a startled look on my face.  I blushed an even deeper shade of red, and attempted to pull myself together.

Sombra noticed that I wasn’t all there.  “Sssssomething wrong, Sssssnowflake?”

I cringed at the incorrect pet-name, but didn’t call him out on it.  I simply shrugged, trying to get my blush to quit being so deep.  I silently pleaded with it to slowly diminish in brightness, but despite my protests, it continued to be a deep shade of red.

Sombra suddenly stiffened.

I glanced up, and saw he was staring at something in shock.  I frowned as I followed his gaze.  He was staring at me...but what did he see that was so alarming?  I continued to follow his gaze...past my head, under my stomach...when I suddenly realized that - “OH MY GOSH!” I exclaimed.  My face felt like it was on fire, and I crumpled to the floor, fear and humiliation written plainly on my face.  I buried my face in my hooves, feeling like I was going to cry any moment.

Sombra continued to stare.

When I raised my head, tears were slowly leaking out of my face.  I was still beet-red, humiliation rolling over me in waves.  “I....I....I...”

He held up a hoof, grimacing slightly at my stuttering.  “Wait until you can sssssspeak to ssssay what you want.”

I mutely nodded, tears continuing to fall out of my eyes.  After a few shuddering breaths, I was able to speak.  When I did so, I couldn’t even look at him.  “I....I’m so sorry, Sombra.  I...I...I...I just...I don’t know what came over me.  I’ve....I’ve never done that in front of anypony.....and I rarely ever did it on my own.....”  I cringed, realizing that my poor choice of words made me sound like a pervert.  “I just...I don’t mean to say that you’re not hot, or anything, but....I just, I don’t feel that way about you.  I....I don’t even know why I responded like that...well, I guess my body has its own ideas about what it wants to do?”  I cringed yet again, expecting a blow from his hooves which oddly never came.  “I....I...I...I just - ”

“You massssssssturbated.  It’ssssss fine.”

I cringed yet again, the reality of my act finally fully registering in my mind.  “B-b-b-but....I never masturbate!  Not just from dreams, anyway....”  I trailed off, my face flushing yet again.

He shrugged.  “It’sssss not like itsssss not normal.”

My head snapped up.  Sudden fury racked my small, weak frame.  I stood on shaky legs and trotted up to Sombra, getting so close to him our noses were touching.  “If it’s so normal,” I hissed out, “then why did you look so shocked?”

It was Sombra’s turn to flush.  “Um...uh....”

“Well?” I pressed, still staring into his eyes.

“I jussssssssst....didn’t expect you do to it when you thought of me, that isssss all....”

“How do you know I was thinking of you?”

He looked into my eyes.  “You weren’t thinking of me?”

“No!” I exclaimed.  “I was shamefully remembering my dream last night!”  I suddenly flushed, remembering the horrid details of that particular dream.

He continued to stare at me.  “Wasssssss I in the dream?”

I visibly cringed, shrinking to the floor.  “Um...” I murmured.  “Yes.  You were.  But....but....you weren’t alone....Blueblood was there, too....and so was Snails, and Snips, and......”  I suddenly burst into tears.

Sombra frowned as he leaned down and tried to comfort me.  “It’sssssss okay, it wassss only a dream.”

I cringed from his touch, shoving his hoof away.  “No.  NO.  It was horrible.  I....I...I...just...”

“What happened?”

Tears streamed down my face as I spoke in shuddering breaths.  “You.....you were all....raping me.....and....and.....and.....I WAS ENJOYING IT!” I shrieked, burying my face in my hooves as sobs shook my body.  Sombra stroked my mane with his hoof gently, murmuring soft, calming words to me until I was able to speak again.

“You’ll be okay, right, Ssssssnowflake?  After all, it wasssss jusssst a dream - ”

“DON’T EVER CALL ME THAT!” I snapped at him, shoving his hoof off of my head as I stood up and backed away from him.  “You all wouldn’t stop calling me that in the dream...don’t you EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!”  I screamed at him, still backing away from his imposing frame.

He sighed as he took a couple steps forward.  “What elsssssssse can I call you?  You won’t tell me your real name.”

“You want my real name?  FINE!” I yelled back, continuing to back up.  “My name is...Bright Flame.”  I suddenly lost the will to stand, and crumpled to the floor.

Sombra cantered over to my side, and he tried to nudge me up with his nose.  “C’mon,” he murmured, “You can’t jusssssst give up...”

My eyes suddenly closed.  I felt somepony lift me up, and then...the sound of the ocean roared in my ears.  I passed out.

When I came to, I was shivering.  “W-w-why is it s-s-so cold?”

“Here,” Sombra whispered as he threw his red cloak over my shoulders.  “This will ward off the coldness.”

My head whipped around to where he was sitting.  “Y-y-you’re talking normally.”

He smiled sadly.  “This is the only place where I truly can.”

I frowned, trying to glimpse something other than Sombra in the darkness.  “Where exactly are we?”

Sombra lowered his head in shame.  “I brought you to the only secluded place I know of.  The darkness.”

My frown deepened.  “What do you mean, ‘the darkness’?  Darkness is just a room without light.”

He nodded.  “Besides myself, do you see any light in here?”

I shook my head.  “No.  But...it’s strangely calming.”

He nodded.  “You don’t seem to be shivering anymore.”

I blushed slightly, realizing that his body was pressed up against mine.  “No, your cloak is quite warm.”

He smiled.  “I always wear it while I’m here.  Keeps me more...sane.  And warm, of course.”

I blinked in shock.  Getting used to his new voice would take awhile.  “Why did you bring me here?”

“To wake you up, of course.”

“Why did you want to wake me up?”

He blushed.  “So I could ask you something.”

I looked to the blackness that I assumed was the ground.  “What did you want to ask me?”

He shrugged and fidgeted for a couple moments before answering.  “In that dream of yours...is it really so bad you enjoyed having sex?”

I visibly crumbled.  Tears started to leak out of my face again.  “I....I....well, it’s not the having sex part that was disappointing.  It.....it was the very fact that I enjoyed being raped that was shocking...”

“But it was just a dream.  Dreams don’t always speak the truth.”

I blushed.  “But the dream I had before that one did....”

“You didn’t enjoy getting raped, right?”

My blush deepened.  “Of course not.  It was the worst experience of my life.”

He nodded.  “Then that settles that.  You don’t enjoy getting raped, thus the dream cannot be true.”

I laid my head down upon my hooves, emitting a long sigh.  “I wish I could be as certain as you, Sombra.”

Sombra was silent for a long while.  He simply stared at me.  Finally, he spoke.  “Bright Flame?  Why aren’t you glowing?”

Tears streamed down my cheeks.  “I’m not happy.”

Sombra smiled and leaned down.  He whispered in my ear, “I think I can help with that.”

I simply continued to cry as I looked at my hooves.  I didn’t even move as he nibbled on my ear.  I put up with it for awhile, but I eventually flicked my ears back and turned around.  “Not helping,” I muttered.

Sombra slowly slipped a hoof under my chin, turning my head towards his.  My sad eyes met his, and I bit my lip without even thinking about it.  The cloak slipped off of my back, but I didn’t even notice.  I closed my eyes and shook my head, pushing his hoof away.  “No...” I murmured.  “You can’t do this.”

Sombra simply pulled me back.  “Why can’t I?”

I swallowed, a blush creeping into my face.  “I...I can’t love anypony.  Not now, at least.  It’s...too soon.”

Sombra’s eyes narrowed, and a smile played on his lips.  “You may be saying that, but your body language says otherwise.”

I pushed him away.  “Not going to happen, Sombra.  Not now, and not ever.  I can’t have a relationship with you.”

“Why not?”

“I...I won’t ever have sex with you.”

“What if I married you?”

“I might be open to that.  But certainly not anytime soon.”

“Would you object if I did something other than sex with you?”

“It’s not sensual, right?”

“No.  Nothing even close to sex.”

I smiled.  “No, I wouldn’t object to that at all.”

He pulled me right back and pressed his lips against mine.  His breath was hot, and he seemed...almost hungry.  As if he’d been waiting his whole life to hear those words spoken.  I was shocked still; and didn’t move as he kissed me deeply.

He pulled back eventually, a confused look on his face.  “Did I hurt you?”

I simply looked down.  “No.  Just didn’t feel like kissing anypony.”

He frowned.  “Are you sure you’re all right?”

I could tell my light was fading, but I didn’t say anything.

“You don’t look so good, Bright Flame.”

Suddenly, a surge went through my body.  My eyes opened wide, a green aura surrounding me.  I froze in place.

Sombra let go of me.  “No...” he murmured, watching as I was levitated up.  “CHRYSALIS!  LET HER GO!”

Chrysalis laughed, pulling her next captive back into the Canterlot Caves.  She dropped the white pony the minute she was in the cave, watching as she fell to her doom.  Her laughter cut off as Sombra levitated her to safety.  “Thwarted again...” she murmured as she watched him perform his act of kindness.  “That’s all right, though.  He will ultimately help my plan.  In fact, he’ll be what this plan is dependent on.”  A grin broke out on her face.  “And I know he won’t fail me.”  After a few moments to herself, she took one last look at the two items on her floor.  “Forget these toys.  I’m going to show her a good time without the use of any of them.”

I woke up with an apple shoved in my mouth.  I looked around in fear realizing I was immobilized again - my front hooves were tied together and then tied to a rope, which was somehow anchored in the ceiling.  My bottom hooves were slightly looser, and I was able to swing them a bit, but they were still tied together and anchored to the floor.  Without warning, the apple flew out of my mouth, and the ropes slithered away.  I would have fallen onto the floor if not for Sombra, who gently levitated me down to the floor.

I stood, and hugged him.  “Thank you,” I whispered.

He nodded, holding tight to me.  “You’re mossssst welcome.”

Laughter filled the chamber.  “Perfect,” hissed a voice from above.

Sombra and I looked up in unison.

“Chrysalis!  What do you want?” I exclaimed.

She smiled as she landed, simply looking over the two of us with a lustful look in her eyes.  “I have the perfect idea for you two.”  She used her magic to grab me and levitate me over to the ground, where she spread my legs apart in a very un-ladylike position.

I blushed crimson.  “W-w-what are you doing?!  Chrysalis!  Let me go!”  I struggled against her powerful magic, but couldn’t budge an inch.  It was then I realized with fear that my clothes were no longer on my body.  They were sprawled about the room.  I was completely exposed.  My blush deepened, and I began to sweat nervously as Chrysalis pinned my arms to the ground.

“Oh, it looks like you’ve been a bad girl.  You need to be punished.”  Chrysalis laughed evilly as she grabbed Sombra with her magic and levitated him directly above where I was positioned.

Sombra figured out what she was doing before I did.  “NO!  YOU CAN’T DO THIS!” he screamed as he thrashed about.  “SHE TRUSSSSSTSSSSS ME!  I CAN’T SSSSSSSTOP YOU!  PLEASSSSSSE!  DON’T RUIN THISSSSSSS!”

“Oh, you think I’m doing this just to ruin your sentimental, but absolutely ridiculous relationship with this mare?  How sweet.  No, I’m doing this for my own pleasure.”  She slowly lowered him, lining him up perfectly with my...

“NO!” I screamed.  “PLEASE!  CHRYSALIS!  DON’T DO THIS! I...I...I DON’T WANT YOU TO DO THIS!  AND NEITHER DOES SOMBRA!”

“Oh, how sentimental, Snowflake.  You think that love has to do with feelings.  Well, it doesn’t.  If you love someone, you’ll buck them as quickly and perfectly as you can.  And since you both refuse to do so on your own, who better to show you than the master of bucking herself?”

I thrashed about, trying to free myself from this absolute horror I was in, but no amount of squirming would release Chrysalis’ hold on me.

Sombra’s dick suddenly brushed against my slit.  He blushed even deeper than I.  “I....I’m ssso ssssssssory,” he choked out, tears actually running down his cheeks.  “I....I...I...I never wanted it to be thissssss way...”

Tears were running down my own cheeks as well.  “It’s all right....” I trailed off, thinking of something to say before Chrysalis would force Sombra to penetrate me.  “It’s not your fault.  You’re not choosing to do this - ”

Chrysalis roughly shoved Sombra’s dick into my mouth.  He moaned, a smile briefly crossing his face.  Chrysalis just laughed as she pumped him in and out of my mouth.  I nearly gagged. It won’t all fit in my mouth...

Chrysalis roughly pulled him out.  He had a large erection, and I could clearly see where this was headed.

“Ssssssory,” he murmured as he was levitated once again.

“It’s okay - SWEET MOTHER OF CELESTIA!” I cried as Chrysalis roughly shoved Sombra into me.

He moaned almost immediately, sweat covering his strained face.  He looked down at me, a fearful look on his face.  “I’m ssso sssssssorry....” he whispered.  “I....can’t....help it....”

I grunted, pain filling every inch of my body.  “Too....hard...ease....up....” I murmured, trying not to focus on the pain.

Chrysalis smiled.  “I’m hearing too much talking over there!” she cried, using her magic to force our mouths to lock.

My fear only escalated as Chrysalis shoved Sombra’s tongue into my mouth.  I thrashed about, trying to free myself, when Chrysalis took my tongue, and then shoved it into his mouth.  My face turned apple-red.

Sombra was blushing horribly, thrashing and trying to move.  Unfortunately, every move he made only increased the fear I felt.

Chrysalis smiled as she pulled us apart.  “That’s enough kissing.  Let’s see some action, shall we?”

She used her magic to roughly pump Sombra up and down, in and out of me...I think I blacked out at one point.  When I came to, Sombra looked like he was going to be sick, and he kept moaning.  I managed to groan out, “What’s wrong?”  I felt very hot, and couldn’t seem to stop sweating - or groaning.

Sombra had the same problem.  “Can’t....hold it in....much....longer....” he gasped out between moans.

Chrysalis’ laugh echoed through the cavern.  “See how much you enjoy bucking now, little foals!”

I gasped.  “NO!” I screamed as I realized what was about to happen.  Sombra couldn’t hold it in...he was about to cum....and I was going to....going to.... “Unf,” I practically said, biting my lip to keep from yelling it out.  I knew that any sound I made would only excite Sombra further, and that was the one thing I didn’t want to do.

Sombra moaned.  “Can’t....sssssstop it...” he murmured.  “I’m ssssory, Flame...”

I gasped for air.  “I forgive you...” my words cut off as a moan escaped my lips.

Chrysalis kept up the grinding for what seemed like hours.  During this time, she touched herself in places where I’d never even dreamed of touching myself - by the halfway point, a large puddle of her juices dirtied the floor.  Sombra had more willpower than even I thought - he didn’t cum at any one point during those hours, until Chrysalis increased the speed.  She realized going slow wouldn’t do anything but make us both miserable.  She smiled wickedly as she used her magic to pump Sombra up and down and in and out and....and...

I suddenly stiffened.  What is that sensation? I asked myself, suddenly feeling very hot right in-between my back legs...

Sombra moaned.  He was sweating more profusely now.

I can’t possibly be enjoying.... mfh..... this.... MFH...pleasure... mfh.. everywhere...MFH... can’t.... mfh... hold... it... mfh... in...

“AHHHH!” he and I screamed in unison.

We climaxed at the same exact time.  After we did so, Chrysalis’ magic left us.  Sombra fell to the ground, landing in a puddle of his own excretions.

Before I blacked out, Chrysalis pushed her face against mine.  “Perhaps you were wrong, silly filly.  I think you really are a sexual being.”

I managed to get one sentence out before I lost consciousness.  “Rot...in....Tartarus.”

Part 4: Chrysalis' Better, More Perfect, Plan

I jerked.  I’m so tired of these rude awakenings, I thought sadly.  I slowly stood up, my legs very wobbly underneath me.  I swayed a bit, and suddenly my right leg gave out.  Oh, Tartarus! I cursed within my mind, slowly falling towards the dirty floor of the cavern.

I stopped mid-fall, and was gently levitated to a sitting position.  I blinked to clear my head - even that simple spell had made me insanely dizzy.  My body swayed as I tried to get my bearings.  “Who...who did that?” I groggily asked.

A shape came into view.  I couldn’t focus on it, but it was large and black, and it had glowing eyes.... “Sombra?” I asked, still swaying and fighting for balance.

He looked down to the ground, saying nothing.

I shook my head in a desperate attempt to clear it, and I was quickly amazed at how the shaking actually worked.  I saw Sombra, who was sitting across from me on the other side of the cavern.  I frowned.  “Why not come closer so I can talk to you without yelling?” I called out, tilting my head in confusion.  What’s up with him?  He’s not usually so...distant.

Sombra visibly cringed.  “I....I don’t trusssssssssssssst mysssssssssssssself around you anymore.  I’m....I’m here to ssssssssssssssay goodbye.”

My lower jaw hit the floor. “Huh?”

“I...I hurt you.  I promisssssssed myssssssself that I’d never hurt anypony again, and what happensssss?  I go and hurt the pony I care mosssssst about.  But you won’t have to be in pain anymore, sssssince I won’t be around.”

“Are you really that stupid?” I blurted out.

His head jerked up, and I saw tears forming in his eyes.  “What do you mean?”

I stood up, my dizziness finally gone.  With every word I spoke, I took a step towards him.  “Sombra, you’re my only friend.  If you leave...I won’t have anypony.”  My voice dropped to a whisper as tears formed in my eyes.  “I’ll be all alone.”

Sombra looked away from me, but I could still see the blush slowly creeping up into his cheeks.  “I....I...”  He sighed in a frustrated manner.  “Bright Flame...I l-l-lo...”

I tilted my head, a questioning look on my face as I sat directly in front of him.  “What’s wrong, Sombra?”

“I jusssssst...oh, I don’t know!”

“There must be something that’s up with you.  What’s wrong, Sombra?”

He groaned, a maddening look flitting across his features momentarily.  “I feel bad.”

“About what?”

He looked at me, horror written on his face.  “You...you....you don’t remember?”

I tilted my head further.  “Remember what?”

His horror-stricken face quickly changed into humiliation.  He mumbled, “What happened lasssssssssst night.”

My confused face reflected complete bafflement.  “What in the world are you talking about?  All I remember is this horrid dream I had, where Chrysalis came and made me have sex with you, and then we both had an orgasm, and then...”  I trailed off when I saw him nodding.  I felt all the blood drain out of my face.  “THAT WASN’T A DREAM?!” I exclaimed, more blood draining out of my limbs and face by the minute.  I felt my heart rate skyrocket, and noticed that my breathing was increasing...I also suddenly felt very disoriented.  “Then....then...then...SWEET MERCIFUL CELESTIA, YOU BUCKED ME?!”  I leaned over and promptly spewed the contents of my stomach onto the floor.

Sombra stayed where he was, his blush deepening by the second.  He cast me glances filled with pity and embarrassment, but did nothing until I could breathe again.

I gulped in air, only to let it out again in a sob of despair.  “Why...why would Chrysalis do this to me?”  Tears suddenly streamed down my cheeks.  “N-n-no....I’m no longer a virgin....and I wanted to give it away to my future husband....” I sobbed, burying my face in my hooves.  “I could be pregnant.”  My head shot up in alarm.  “But...but...but if I’m pregnant, then....what will Chrysalis do to the baby?”  Tears started to stream down my cheeks yet again, and I sobbed loudly, not caring if Sombra overheard me. “My life is ruined...” I wailed, tears continuing to stream down my face in a salty torrent.

Sombra gently placed a hoof on my back.  “Thissss issss why I’m leaving you.  I hurt you deeply, and took away ssssssomething you’ll never get back...”

I sat up, my sadness quickly replaced by anger.  I flung his hoof off of me as I turned and looked him in the eyes.  I got so close to him, our noses were rubbing.  “Don’t you dare think that this is your fault,” I hissed.  “This is Chrysalis’ fault.  I blame you for nothing.”

His looked down, a guilty expression on his face.  “But....if I could have only held it in longer...”

“Ugh!” I exclaimed, fury rolling through me as I pulled back and paced the room.  Once I’d calmed down a bit, I sat across from him and continued to speak.  “You held it in as long as you could have.  And even if you did hold it in longer, Chrysalis still would have gotten it out of you somehow.  She wanted you to do that.  And we both know that Chrysalis always gets what she wants.”

Sombra’s eyes narrowed as he looked up at me.  “Sssssshe won’t ever get you.”

I suddenly thought of something.  “Is that why you feel like you have to leave?”

Sombra glanced down again, tracing circles in the dirt that was somehow tracked into the cavern.

I sighed, a smile tugging at my sad lips.  “You’re so sweet when you’re embarrassed.  But seriously, is that why you want to leave?  You think that Chrysalis is less likely to hurt me if you’re not around?  Might I remind you of something?”

He shrugged.

“She bucked me even before you did.”

His eyes narrowed, and he snorted angrily.  “Sssssshe won’t ever do that again!  Not while I’m sssssstill living.”

I smiled.  “You’re trying too hard to be a hero, Sombra.”

“But....I care about you,” he mumbled.  “I don’t want anything to happen to you...”

I placed my hoof over his.  “I know.  I don’t exactly want to get hurt again, either.  But you have to look at this logically.  Chrysalis is stronger than both of us combined. She could overpower you and do what she wishes with me.  She could overpower me and do what she wishes with you.  She could do what she wishes with both of us at the same time, or neither one of us.  She has the power here, Sombra.  You said it yourself just a couple days ago.  She’s the one with the changelings, remember?  She’s the one who’s keeping us here.”

Sombra looked up, locking his gaze onto mine.  “Then I’ll try my hardesssssst to make sssssure nothing bad happensssss to you again.”

I smiled.  “Thanks, Sombra.”

The white pony slipped her hoof onto Sombra’s.  She smiled and tilted her head in an attractive way.  Sombra leaned his face towards hers, but the white pony jerked back, just out of his reach.  Sombra frowned.  He tilted his head and spoke, and the white pony simply shook her head and looked away, a light blush creeping onto her face and tears slowly dripping down her cheeks.  She still kept her hoof on top of his, however, and didn’t pull away.  Sombra slowly leaned in again, whispering words in the white pony’s ear.  And then, he leaned towards a different part of her face...

“Yes,” breathed Chrysalis, captivated at the moving picture within the crystal ball before her.  “That’s it...just let that little guard down, Snowflake...let him in.  Let him in, and my plan can finally come to be.  Just let go...let him fill up the emptiness inside of you...succumb to your own desires you so foalishly push aside... ”

Sombra kissed the white pony.  Her eyes, first wide with fear, eventually slid closed as she leaned into the kiss.

“Everything is going perfectly...”

Sombra pulled out of the embrace, his face slightly flushed, and a smile on his face.  The white pony was blushing and giggling as well.  She stared at Sombra for about a minute, just taking in his face...and then she threw her arms around his neck.  She leaned forward just enough to topple Sombra onto his back, and her weight pinned him to the ground.

Chrysalis perked up.  “What’s this?” she asked as she observed the couple.

They didn’t roll around; they only stared into each other’s eyes.  Sombra’s blush was unmistakable now, as a bright red slowly claimed his entire face.  He wore a shocked but pleased expression, looking up in an adoring manner to the mare that pinned him down.  The white mare grinned mischievously, and without warning, leaned down and kissed Sombra full on the mouth.

“Oh...this is even better than I’d hoped.  This will be more easy than I’d ever imagined it would be.  They’re so blind to my plan...this is going to be perfect.”

Sombra was enjoying her.  He was enjoying her a little too much.  His eyes flew open, his mind suddenly registering what a different part of his body was slowly doing.  He frowned, attempting to force his erection down, but no amount of wishful thinking made his dick budge.  He rolled his eyes, slowly pulling away from Bright Flame’s gorgeous face. “Ssssssorry,” he murmured.  “Can’t do thissssss any longer.”

I tilted my head.  “Why?”

His face flushed.  “Uh....remember what happensssssss to guysssssss when they get aroussssssed?”

I nodded, still not fully understanding.  “Yes.  A stallion will get an erection, if aroused enough.  That erection will eventually lead to him cumming on whatever object he happens to be close to.”

“And what am I clossssse to right now?”

I finally understood, and leapt off of him with a shriek. “OH DEAR LUNA!” I exclaimed, my face flushing a deep red.  “I’m so sorry!”

He chuckled.  “Nothing to be ssssssorry about.  In fact, I sssssshould be apologizing.”

A confused look flitted over my features.  “Come again?”

“You’re not doing anything wrong; it’ssssss my mind that’sssss wandering.”

I blushed furiously and looked at the ground.  “You know I’ll never do that with you.”

He nodded.  “I can’t help thinking about it, though.”

“Then push the thoughts away,” I whispered, tears suddenly rolling down my face.  I frantically swiped at them so he wouldn’t catch me crying.

He caught me anyway.  He frowned as he trotted over to where I was.  He gently placed a hoof on my neck.  “What’sssssss wrong?” he whispered.

Knowing I couldn’t hide any longer, the tears started rolling down my face again.  “I...I...I think I - ”

“Wait,” he said, holding up his other hoof.  “I have ssssssomething I’d like to sssssay.”

I shut up, and simply nodded my head.

He smiled and gently pecked my lips before continuing.  “I...I l-l-l-love you.  Yesssssss, I....I love you, Bright Flame.”

Tears started pouring down my face, but I wasn’t happy.

He frowned.  “You hate me, don’t you?”

“No!” I snapped at him, pulling away.  “I just...oh, I feel awful.  I lied to you, Sombra!”

His frown deepened.  “About what?”

“I’ll...I’ll...” I broke off, trying to choke out the words between my sobs.  I finally calmed down, but found I couldn’t raise my voice above a whisper.  “I’ll never have sex with you.  I just...can’t force myself to do something I don’t enjoy.  I’m....I’m so sorry.”

He sighed, looking sad for only a moment.  He walked over to where I’d crumbled to the floor.  He gently placed a hoof on my back, massaging it slowly as he tried to calm me down.  “You’re sssssso pretty.”

I frowned.  “No, I’m not.  And what does that have to do with anything?”

Sombra chuckled.  “I think you’re perfect.  I don’t need to have ssssssssex with you.”

“B-b-but...what if you want children?”

“We could alwayssssss adopt.”

“I want to please you, though...and I don’t feel like I’d be doing that if I didn’t have sex with you...”

“You don’t have to have sssssssex with me.  Perhapssss you’d be open to jussssst helping me masssssssturbate?”

I grimaced.  “No, not really.”  I shrunk even lower to the floor.  “I’m so sorry,” I whimpered.

He shrugged.  “We’ll crosssssss that bridge when we come to it, then.”

“Y-y-y-you don’t mind w-w-waiting until we’re m-m-married?  And w-w-when we’re m-m-married, you’ll only st-st-stay with me?  Even if....if...if I can’t give you what you truly want?” I choked out between the sobs that racked my body.  I feel like the worst pony that ever lived...First I lie to the guy I like, and now I’m making him face the fact that he’ll never get what every guy wants from me, and that I’m requiring him to only be faithful to me...

“All I want issssss you, Brighty.  Yesssss, ssssome sssex would be nice...but all I really want isssss you.”

I looked up at him, just standing there with a smile on his face and an uplifting look in his eyes.  I burst into tears as I leapt up and threw my arms around his neck.  “I love you too,” I whispered into his ear.  “I love you so much...and I actually like the pet name...”

Sombra smiled.  “I love you too, Brighty.”  Quickly checking his erection and realizing it had finally come back down, he smiled.  He only had to push a bit to topple me over.  I literally spun head over hooves, and landed with him on top of me.

I squealed, trying not to look down at his dick.  “What about your erection?!”

“It went back down,” he said with a smirk.

I smiled.  “Then what are you waiting for?”

He grinned sheepishly as he looked into my eyes.

Without any warning, he roughly pressed his lips against mine; and I could feel the hunger that was within him.  I could tell he wanted to go further, to truly penetrate me...but I knew he wouldn’t.  I knew that, deep down inside, he was a good pony.  So many other ponies just...misunderstood him.  I think that in that moment, I understood: he loved me, and he didn’t care if I was asexual and completely repulsed by sex.  He didn’t care that he’d never get to have sex with me.  He only cared about me.  And all I cared about was him.

We would have stayed in that position forever, had I not noticed something slithering in the shadows.  I yelped and shoved Sombra off of me as I shrunk to the floor.

Sombra followed my frightened gaze and saw the green glow coming from the shadows.  He frowned and stepped protectively over me.  “Over my dead body, Chryssssalisssss,” he muttered, staring down the glowing green shape.

“As you wish...” she whispered as she stepped out of the shadows.

Only, she didn’t look like a changeling.  She looked exactly like me.

Part 5: Traitor

A green flash illuminated the room, momentarily blinding Sombra.  He stumbled back, flinching away from the light.  When it had dimmed a bit, he realized that Bright Flame was nowhere to be found.  “Brighty?” he whispered, trying to look around with his scorched eyes.

“Right here,” two voices answered at the same time.

He turned his head, and nearly screamed in rage at what he was looking at: two identical Bright Flames.  Both standing there, just looking at him with frightened gazes.

When they realized that he was staring at them, they looked at each other.  Both of them froze, and then slowly started to back away.  “TRAITOR!” they yelled in unison.

One turned to Sombra.  “Please, you’ve got to trust me.  I’m the real Bright Flame.”

“No you’re not!” the second one almost shrieked, looking at Sombra with the same pleading eyes.  “I’m the real Bright Flame!”

Sombra face-hoofed.  “Oh pony-featherssssss.”

The first Bright Flame that had spoken ran up to Sombra and kissed him full on the mouth.  When she pulled away, tears were streaming down her cheeks.  “You have to trust me!  I’m the real Brighty!  Don’t you recognize me?”

The second Bright Flame shoved her out of the way.  She kissed Sombra more fiercely than the first Bright Flame had, but still cried as she pulled away.  “You have to trust ME!  I’M the real Brighty!  Don’t you recognize me?”

Sombra pushed both Bright Flames off of him.  “All right you two.  Let’sssss get ssssomething sssstraight.  I can’t trussssst either of you, ssssso I don’t know who isssss who right now.  I am going to do sssssomething to both of you, and from there, we’ll ssssee who the real Brighty isssss.  Okay?”

Both Bright Flames nodded in unison.

Sombra sighed.  “Now...which one of you do I pick firssssst?”  After staring at them, he selected the Bright Flame who had spoken first.  “You.  Come here, pleasssse?”

She nodded shyly, trotting up to him as she sat down less than a foot away from him.  “What are you going to do to me?” she murmured.

He smiled.  “I’m going to excite you, ssssssilly.”

“WHAT?!” she shrieked, stumbling back and getting ready to run.

He narrowed his eyes and pounced on her.  “You’re not going anywhere until I finissssssh with you!”

Tears streamed down Bright Flame #1's cheeks.  “P-p-p-please, don’t do this!”

Sombra sighed.  “It’sssss the only way I’m going to be able to tell which one of you is the real Brighty.”  He leaned down and kissed her full on the mouth, slowly doing something he’d not done yet - he slid his tongue ever-so-slowly into her mouth.

She freaked out.  Her eyes widened, and her pupils shrunk.  “Meep,” she mumbled against his mouth.  She started shaking as fear overtook her body, and she tried to shove him off of her.

He hated to hurt the one he loved, but he knew that to be fully certain that this was Brighty, he had to go all the way.  He didn’t budge, and instead shoved more of his tongue into her mouth, slowly swirling it around.

She was in full freak out mode now, swinging her hooves and trying to shove him off of her.

He hated using magic on her, but it was the only way.  He bound her hooves to her sides, and she no longer thrashed about.  He pulled back gently, a smile on his face.

She shakily laughed.  “Heh, that wasn’t too horrible...”

“I’m not done yet.”

Her eyes shrank yet again. “What more do you need to do?!”

He blushed.  “Well...um...I need you to...masssssssssturbate.”

“WHAT?!”

His blush deepened, and he couldn’t look her in the eyes.  “And I need to induccccce it.”

“WHAT?!  ARE YOU INSANE?!” she shrieked, trying to thrash about, but finding herself bound.  Tears were streaming down her face as she looked up at him.  “If....if....” she took a couple deep breaths before continuing.  Tears were still rolling down her face, but she managed to get the words past her lips.  “If this is what it takes to show you I’m the real Brighty, then fine.  As much as it k-k-kills me to say this...b-b-b-b-buck me.”

Sombra’s eyes widened in shock.  “You...you’d let me do that, jussssst to prove you’re the real Brighty?”

She nodded, tears still streaming down her cheeks.  “I love you, Sombra.  I only want you to be happy with me.  And if this is the only way, then this is the only way.  No matter how disgusted I am about what you’re going to do, I can’t exactly stop you; and I’d like to have you back, anyway.  If this is how I get you back, then...buck me.”

Sombra swallowed nervously.  Didn’t expect that to happen... he thought nervously, shifting his gaze to the other Bright Flame, who was sitting calmly, watching what was happening to the first.  He sighed and turned his attention back to the Bright Flame underneath him.  “Okay...” he shakily said.  He suddenly stiffened, but ignored the thoughts tumbling through his mind.  “Here we go...”  He gently placed a hoof onto Bright Flame #1's privates.  He gulped.  “Is it ssssssstrange that I’ve never actually done thissssss?”

Bright Flame #1’s eyes went wide.  “You’re joking.  You’ve never done it to yourself?”

He blushed crimson.  “Never sssssaid that.”

Bright Flame #1 blushed as well.  “Oh...well then...just do to me what you’d do to yourself, I guess.”

He bit his lip.  “Yesss...but where do I rub?”

Bright Flame #1's face turned beet-red.  “I-I-I’m not sure.”

“Guessssssss I’ll just have to wing it,” Sombra said, quickly getting to work.  He moved his hoof up and down, slowly at first.

Bright Flame #1 moaned a bit.  “Oooh...that feels...nice?  I’m not really sure...”

Sombra nodded and sped up almost immediately.  He suddenly felt a rush of blood to a certain appendage...and he cringed as his erection slapped against his stomach.  He tried to ignore it, but the throbbing wouldn’t cease.  He felt a certain build-up in his erection, and realized that Bright Flame #1 hadn’t stopped moaning.

Her eyes were closed, and her head was thrown back. “Unf...” she mumbled, biting her lip.  She started panting, her tongue lolling out every time she moaned. “Why am I enjoying this?  Should I be enjoying this?” she whispered - it was so quiet that Sombra barely heard it.

If she didn’t climax soon, he was going to.  He held in his cum, and increased his frantic movements on Bright Flame #1's privates.  He suddenly realized what would push her over the edge.  He slowly lifted his hoof off of her privates, and then looked at her body.  He then glanced up at the second Bright Flame, nodding his head as he turned his attention back to the one beneath him.  Good.  They’re both still fully clothed.  He gently slipped a hoof into her pants...

She gasped and her eyes opened in alarm.  “What are you DOING?!”

“Making you jack off,” he murmured as he ripped the pants down to her ankles.

She squirmed and gasped at the sudden coldness.  “STOP!” she practically screamed.

“I...can’t....” Sombra forced out, slipping a hoof down into her underwear.

“P-p-please...” she whimpered.  “Don’t do this to me...”

“I...I thought you said...bucking wassssss okay with you.”

“I’m scared!  I don’t want to be violated again!”  Tears were streaming down her face.

“Thisss isss what it takessss...” he murmured, ripping her underwear down to her ankles.

“NO!” she shrieked, trying to thrash about and move, but unable to do so.

“I’m sssso sssssorry...” he whispered as he set his hoof directly onto her privates.  He began to move it up and down, and the more he did so, the more aroused he became.  Hold it off...just a little bit longer...wait until she cums...

She started panting, and tried to arch her back, but ended up just hurting herself.

This only aroused Sombra further.  He bit his lip.  C’mon, she’s almost there...just wait until she finishes...and then you can cum all you want...

Sombra jerked back as a flood of fluid hit his hoof.  Delighted screaming filled his ears.  She finally cummed.  He trotted off just a bit, and then he cummed as well, his screams mingling with the first Bright Flame’s.  Don’t know if I can handle doing that again... his thoughts trailed off as he quickly cleaned himself up and trotted back over to the first Bright Flame, still lying on the floor, drooling uncontrollably.

He smiled as he used his magic to clean her up.  “Okay,” he said as he levitated her over to the other side of the room.  “You wait over here while I finish up with the other Bright Flame.  Okay?”

She nodded, a some-what fearful look on her face; but Sombra noticed she looked just a tad bit happy.

Sombra performed the exact same routine on the next Bright Flame, and she reacted the exact same way, except for one small detail.  She didn’t squirm when stripped, and she actually seemed to enjoy the french-kissing.  Sombra levitated her over to the opposite side of the room and set her down gently.  He used his magic to fully clothe both of them, and then he sat in-between the two mares and tried to think.  He weighed the differences and similarities, and he thought he had the correct Bright Flame pegged.

“Brighty?” he said as he stood, glancing between the two unicorns.  “I know which one of you isssss the real one.”

Both unicorns looked hopeful, and smiled sweetly at him.

He turned to his right.  “You’re the real one, Brighty.”

Tears streamed down her face as she ran and embraced him.  “How did you know?”

“You freaked out when I tried to french-kisssssss you.”

She flushed.  “W-w-w-well...it was my first time...”

“You pretty much freaked out with everything, actually.  But that’ssssss okay.  I don’t love you any lessssss for it.”

She smiled as she buried her face in Sombra’s mane.

Cruel laughter sounded from his left.  He glanced over, still holding Bright Flame, and looked at Chrysalis, now in her natural form.  “Hm.  Guess I wasn’t convincing enough for you, eh, Sombra?” she purred, smiling seductively.  “Anytime you want to do that again, I’m available.  Oh, and next time, cum inside of me.”

Sombra’s face scrunched up.  “No way, Bright Flame is the only one I care about - ”

“Unless we get switched up again.”  Chrysalis smiled wickedly.  “You do realize that I was the one that put that idea into your head in the first place, right?”

“You WHAT?!”  Bright Flame screeched.  “YOU MADE HIM DO ALL THAT?!”

“I simply planted the thought in his head, and made it very hard for him to turn down that thought.  He did all the rest.  Well...almost all of it.”

“What part didn’t I do?” he hissed, glaring at Chrysalis.

“Remember when you were apologizing about ‘having to do this’?  That was really me controlling you.  It’s no wonder you couldn’t control yourself!”  She laughed, the echo making her sound more fierce than she truly was.

Sombra swallowed nervously.  “How...how did you do that?”

Chrysalis shrugged.  “Just like I do this.”

“Just like you do what - ”

Chrysalis’ magic flared up in that one instance, and suddenly, Sombra was ripped from Bright Flame.  “NO!” he yelled, reaching out for her flailing hooves.

“PUT ME DOWN, CHRYSALIS!” she screeched, pawing at the air.

Chrysalis just laughed as a swirling tornado-like cone formed around them - it was entirely made of magic.  “Let’s see how you all like being violated...changeling style!”  With a zap of her magic, Sombra and Bright Flame roughly landed in a smaller, different chamber.  Bright Flame came to first, noticing the stench before she noticed what created it.  She glanced around - on the only table in the room was a crystal ball.  In it, she could see Chrysalis, until she blinked out of the room with a green flash of magic.  Bright Flame didn’t even notice Chrysalis as she stood next to Sombra.  Bright Flame continued to look through the room.  “Interesting...” she murmured, opening a chest of sexual toys.  “Wonder what these are...” she trailed off, securely locking the chest up again, and making sure none of the objects had fallen out.

Sombra came to right about then.  He weakly stood up, and the first thing he saw was a changeling drone.  “Brighty!  LOOK OUT!  IT’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!”

Part 2.5: Chrysalis' Plan

Part 2.5: Chrysalis’ Plan

Chrysalis laughed.  “Perfect...” she purred as she looked into her crystal ball.

“Momma?” a small voice said.

Chrysalis sharply looked down.

A changeling with big eyes looked up at her.  “Can I have more milk?”

Chrysalis rolled her eyes.  “I’ve given you your ration for today.  You don’t get any more.”

“But...but...you do have more, don’t you?”

“Yes.  It’s for your brothers.”

He sighed.  “Why can’t I have all of it?”

Chrysalis smiled weakly.  “I appreciate your selfishness, young one, but I cannot be as selfish as you.  I must feed my family.  That is my duty, first and foremost.”

He looked to the ground.  “Can you tuck me back in, then?”

“No.  I’m sure your brothers would be more than happy to do so if you asked.”

He turned and slowly trudged off to bed.  “Oh, um....no, that’s fine.  I’ll just....get back into bed myself.”

Chrysalis waved to him as she watched him sadly trot off.  “That’s my boy!  Be strong, and don’t let anypony ever get into that little heart of yours!”  She smiled as she watched him fly back to the cocoon he called home; it was nestled among the hundreds of others that were strung from the ceiling in the chamber next to Chrysalis’.  When she was satisfied that the child had done as she’d asked, she turned her attention back to the crystal ball.  She chuckled quietly.  “Those foals...” she muttered, staring at the image floating in the crystal ball: Sombra was holding a skinny, white pony’s hoof.  The white pony had once been a beautiful, skinny mare, but now was only skin and bones.  Her beautiful cerulean blue and scarlet mane had started to fall out in clumps, and chunks were missing from her tail.  She didn’t have her cutie mark yet, as she hadn’t had a chance to find out what her special talent was; but Chrysalis had an idea for that.

She laughed quietly.  “Because the young mare stated that she was an asexual virgin, what more of an ironic cutie mark than a sexual symbol?”  She used her magic to levitate a long, thick object to where she was standing, and dropped it on the floor next to her.  “She’ll get a surprise come morning.  A very...interesting surprise, indeed.  All I need to do is convince Sombra that this is what every mare wants done to her...”  She trailed off as she levitated another object to where she was standing, dropping it onto her outstretched hoof.  It was a small, square package.  Inside was a small, pink balloon-like “sock”.  Chrysalis chuckled.  “I bet she doesn’t even know what a condom is...”
