Scootaloo's Master
Shards
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Dash.” Rarity said nervous seeing Dash with a very serious and dangerous look as if she was ready for blood, it even scared me.
“Not here.” We went upstairs to Rarity’s room and she closed the door motioning for us to sit on the bed and we did. “So she told you?” Dash pulled me close.
“Everything, but his name.”
“Dash don’t act stupid.”
“I know it’s Jerard High Blood.” I paused. “Come on squirt you don’t think I’m that stupid do you? It was clear who you were talking about when you said royal. There are only three royals in Ponyville right now and he’s the only male. Now Rarity tell me what you have planned.”
“I’m to be honest, I’m stunned you haven’t killed him.”
“Rarity, I may be impulsive some times, and lay around, but the one thing I’m not is a screw off. If a friend needs me I'll go to the ends of Equestria to save them, and further if I have to. Now tell me, this plan of yours is the only reason I’m sitting here.” Rarity sighed a little, then looked around closing the blinds.
“Fine, my plan will take two more weeks from today, she just has to hold out till then, and then.”
“That’s too long,” Dash said interrupting her. “From everything she told me, she’ll be dead within a few days at most.”
“There’s nothing.”
“DON’T TELL ME THAT!” She shouted, she grit her teeth shaking a little as tears went down her face. “Don’t you dare say there’s nothing we can do about it! Scootaloo is suffering daily, we have to do something to stop it now!”
“Don’t you think I would do it if it was possible?” Rarity said through her teeth. “I’ve tried everything.” She sat down and stared at the floor for a minute before looking at Dash. “I have done everything I can think of.” Her voice cracked. “There’s nothing else I can do, until I can remove his claim to royalty, and shame him, there’s nothing I can do!”
“Then we’ll run.” Dash said looking at me for a moment.
“Where?” Rarity asked and Dash looked at the bed. “They would hunt you down, it doesn’t matter if you got permission from her mom and dad, they would find you both, and that would only be the start of it. Two weeks is a very long time to hide, and if you get arrested, I don’t know if I'll be able to remove his claim to royalty removed. Or it would take another month to do it.”
“Fine,” Dash said becoming limp. “Two weeks is all you got, I'll watch Scootaloo for every second she’s with him. If he moves to kill her, I don’t care if I get put to death, I'll kill him on the spot, but know if you don’t come through I'll kill him anyway, and not even Celestia will be able to stop me.” Rarity swallowed a little nervous.
“I'll make sure it goes through then.”
“Come on Scoots, we should go do something fun.”
“I can’t,” I said and she paused. “I’m not allow to.” Dash grit her teeth. “I’m sorry.” Dash hugged me tighter.
“It’s fine, then what are you allowed to do?”
“Study.” Both of them paused.
“Study? He wants you to study, that’s lame.”
“It isn’t for him.” I looked at Dash and she stared at me. “When I study it’s like everything disappears, and, I don’t feel anything. Normally it hurts so badly that I’m choking, and panic, he, I.”
“Then we’ll head to the library, we’re counting on you Rarity, don’t let us down.” Dash put me onto her back and we went out of Rarity’s shop. She flew us to the library setting me down, and we went inside. Twilight was reading a book at a desk with a few things around her, she didn’t look up. “Twi.” She paused looking at us.
“Dash,” Twilight said and paused. “Scootaloo, what nice earrings?” She looked at Dash a bit confused.
“Please don’t ask.” I said, Twilight stared at me for a few seconds.
“What can I help you with? The next Daring-Do isn’t out yet.”
“Studying,” Dash said motioning to the books. “Scootaloo wants to study, so put down everything and help us please.”
“Alright, which subjects?” Twilight asked looking at me, Dash looked at me.
“I can get them.” They watched me for a little as I gathered the books. Dash dragged over a large cushion and pillows, along with a table for us. I set the books down and Twilight eyed me for a few seconds coming over to us.
“Hey is Jerard helping you study or something?” Both Dash and I looked at Twilight surprised.
“What would make you ask that?” Dash asked quickly before I could even open my mouth.
“Well he came in and returned your books the day before yesterday, I know they were yours because of the stamp, and he had bought some expensive books from some Book Beard in Canterlot. I know books pretty well, so I know when I see hundred bit books. Even Canterlot prep schools have trouble getting those books because they’re so good.”
I looked down a little, the books he had gotten were so simple and easy to learn from, the others were okay, to iffy at best. Dash pulled me close to her.
“I.” Dash started.
“Yes.” They looked at me. “He helped me study a bit, Cheerilee I think talked to him about it. Or something, I’m pretty stupid so.”
“You’re not stupid,” Dash said sternly. “Don’t ever put yourself down.” I nodded and Twilight eyed Dash a little noticing there was something she was missing. She cleared her throat a little wanting to know more.
“Anyway, he, um, gave me the books to study from. He helped teach me for a while, he, gave me this because I, passed his tests.” I felt the collar a little and Twilight frowned a little bit, then looked at Dash.
“Then why aren’t you learning from those books then?” Twilight asked. “They are a hundred times betters than these ones.”
“I already, learned everything I could from them.” They both paused.
“That’s not possible.” Twilight said eyeing me a little.
“Why?” Dash asked.
“Those books covered three grade levels, five ahead of Scootaloo, it’s impossible for her to have learned everything from them.” She paused looking at the books. “But.” She looked at Dash a little bewildered. “How about I help you study?” Twilight said smiling, she grabbed a notebook and she sat on my left, Dash moved to my right.
“Okay.” I said and I opened the books.
Twilight was amazing, simply amazing, she made it seem like it was nothing the way she explained it. By the end of the day Dash was asleep behind us with a towel over her eyes, Twilight was next to me smiling as she finished explaining a physic’s problem, and how magic reacts according to Star Swirl the Bearded’s third principle.
“And that’s why.” She yawned pausing. She looked at the clock and paused realizing we had been at this for hours on end, gone through several books, and had a pile of notebooks as tall as me on the ground next to the table. “Oh wow, it’s late.”
“Crap I need to get home.” I paused looking around, we had books spread out all around us. Twilight gasped loudly waking up Dash, and she looked at Twilight.
“Oh my gosh, it’s true, you really did finish the books.” She looked at Dash and then at me shocked.
“What?” Dash asked still tired.
“I don’t think it’s because your behind or anything like that Scootaloo. The fact a royal would go out of his way to teach you, and get you those books, I think he may be thinking about giving you a scholarship and having you apply to Canterlot U.” Both Dash and I paused. “The way you learn, I don’t even think magic could allow someone to learn so easily.”
“What do you mean?” Dash asked sitting up and yawning.
“Well look around.” Dash’s eyes popped a little looking around. “Scootaloo you aren’t stupid you might be a prodigy.” I stared at Twilight.
“I.” No, he wasn’t, he couldn’t be planning that. He had only helped me study because he was bored watching me sleep and lay around.
“That must be it, anyway if that’s true then you should come by every day and study with me. Heck if he doesn’t call them I will.” She got up chuckling a little, then she stretched. “My word goes a long way.”
“Twi you shouldn’t worry about that.” Dash said and Twilight frowned.
“Dash, Scootaloo is extremely smart, I dare say even smarter than me from how easily she learned all this, she could, oh my I have to write to Celestia about this right away.” She ran out of the room and Dash grunted a little.
“Egg head.” She said falling back. Dash grabbed me, pulling me back to her and pulled a blanket over us. “You’re sleeping with me from now on, got it, good.” Dash yawned a little shifting a little. “Hey Twi!”
“Yes?” She poked her head around a corner.
“Send a letter to Scootaloo’s mom that she’s with me and sleeping with me, also you don’t mind us sleeping here do ya?”
“No go ahead.” I blushed a little as Dash hugged me closer to her closing her eyes, the lights went out.
Dash fell asleep and I smiled smelling her. Dash was everything I wish I could be, everything I wanted, and she loved me enough to die for me. She was too good for me, I hugged her and cried silently into her chest doing my best not to shake.
“It’s alright Scootaloo.” Dash said surprising me. She looked down with tears rolling down her face. “It’s alright.” She hugged me tighter. I fell asleep in her forelegs crying, and she wrapped me in her wings crying as well.
I woke up a little and paused seeing Dash asleep next to me, sweating as if she was having a nightmare. I looked down and I sniffed her smiling. Dash had a odd lavender mixed with a morning mist that reminded me of sleeping on a cloud. It was wonderful, I could hardly believe she smelled so good. I bit my lip as a thought went across my mind.
What did she taste like? I couldn’t say Jerard smelled or tasted bad, in fact I liked the way his scent danced on my lips. I looked at Dash, and then looked around. Twilight was asleep upstairs with Spike, the library was locked up, and we were alone.
I moved down making sure Dash didn’t wake up, Jerard seemed like a rather heavy sleeper, and Dash I knew was even heavier than him. I could probably punch Dash and she would giggle at the tickle, well so long as I didn’t hit her in the nose.
Her sweet scent filled my lungs and she shifted a little in her sleep making me pause. I licked her and Dash’s leg’s twitched a little. I swiped my tongue along her mare-hood and she groaned lightly. I smiled at her taste, she wasn’t bad, in fact she tasted something like clouds wrapped in a mist of soda and cream. It was odd, but tasted rather good.
I started licking and my taste buds went wild as she became wet, she moaned lightly her sleep making me smile. I started going deeper swirling my tongue and sucking lightly. She started to breath faster as I went harder getting more of her sweet juice.
She moaned as she finished spraying my tongue, I smiled and cleaned her up making sure she wouldn’t notice when she woke up. I moved and looked at Dash’s face, she was smiling in her sleep rather happily. She shifted comfortably,
“Sorin’.” She mumbled and I frowned a little, I would have liked it to be my name she called, but it was fine. We were both mares and I knew Dash didn’t swing like that, but then again. If I could find excuses to sleep with Dash more, I might be able to give her more good dreams. Twilight came down after a while.
“Wake up every pony.” Twilight said. Dash opened her eyes seeing me smiling. She paused blushing a little. She sat up looking at Twilight. I sat up and hugged Dash making her pause. I hadn’t wet the bed last night, so that meant I just needed someone next to me. “How did you both sleep last night?” Twilight asked coming over to us.
“Pretty good.” Dash admitted blushing a little more.
“I slept great.” They looked at me and Dash smiled a little.
“Well Scootaloo you should get to school.” Twilight said.
“Oh crap I’m late!” I shot up and ran out of the library taking flight. I flew to Sugar Cube corner and went inside. They were always opened early in the morning to catch fillies and colts going to school.
“Welcome.” Pinkie said smiling.
“Soft cookies, they can’t be hard at all.” I pulled out a bit and gave it to her. She gave me two cookies smiling.
“Enjoy.” I went outside and ate them, my tongue hurt from the tongue ring a little so I just swallowed them, before flying to Rarity’s shop. I went inside and she looked at me as Sweetie Belle came out from another room.
“Scoots.” Sweetie Belle said coming over to me and I smiled.
“Hey.”
“Why do you come here every morning?” I paused at her blunt question and Rarity frowned a little.
“I get clothes, a new set each day, she has to fit them for me.”
“Oh, okay that makes sense, but where did you get those earrings, and why are you wearing a collar?”
“Don’t be late Sweetie Belle.” Rarity said and Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. “Don’t make me tell mom and dad.” Rarity threatened and Sweetie Bell ran outside. Rarity smiled a little and looked at me. We went upstairs and she started fitting me. “Anything new?”
“I slept with Dash in the library last night, I haven’t seen him since this morning, and do you mind me taking a shower?”
“Sure after I’m done fitting you.” She finished and showed me to the bathroom letting me take a shower. I let it run for a little while cleaning my ears. I went out to her and Dash was talking to Rarity. They stopped when they saw me.
“Dash.” I said grinning.
“Hey squirt.” Dash said with a helpless expressing seeing my scars, it was the first time Dash had seen my whole body. I ran up to her and hugged her. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.” She pulled me close to her. “I'll do my best.”
“I know you will Dash.” I got dressed stomping my shoe a little bit. I ran downstairs and took flight feeling really good. I flew high into the air and let myself fall through the air feeling the weightlessness.
Just the feel of air whisking around me, by body twisting in the wind just gave me peace letting my mind rest as I fell. I punched through a cloud getting a nice cold morning brush from the cloud.
“Scootaloo!” I heard someone yell and I turned over seeing a few pony from my class panicking. I flapped my wings and pushed hard a few yards in the air sending out a strong gust of wind and slowing me completely letting me land softly.
“What’s up?” I asked grinning and Apple-Bloom looked at me like I was crazy, I looked around at all of them and they gave me looks of concern. “You all need to loosen up.” I said chuckling and walking pass them going inside to my desk. I groaned seeing a test waiting for me and Cheerilee was smiling seeing my reaction.
“That’s not funny.” She chuckled a little bit.
“Yes it is.” Everyone came inside after a little. I started working on the test and everyone noticed the collar and earrings. Cheerilee frowned seeing them, but didn’t comment. I finished and she eyed me as I started to make myself look busy. I wrote out everything, every last step for the entire test, then double and tripled check.
“Recess every pony, not you Scootaloo.” I grunted.
“Ms. Cheerilee,” Apple-Bloom started whining. “Scootaloo hasn’t been out to play during recess for a while.” Cheerilee gave Apple-Bloom a scolding look.
“Go play, I have to talk to Scootaloo.” Apple-Bloom looked at me unsure and I smiled a little. She sighed leaving with Sweetie Belle and I looked at Cheerilee she took my test scanning it, then she went over to her desk checking it. “Perfect score.”
“What no I didn’t.” She looked at me for a moment and I bit my lip.
“Really which one?”
“Ten, thirteen and twenty nine.” She looked at them.
“These are correct.” I paused thinking. “I checked it all, you got all the right answers, you just wrote the wrong one on those three. I can clearly see you circled the incorrect answers, the right ones are there.” I opened my mouth, but then closed it. I had forgotten to do that, I was showing work just because I had nothing else to do and I didn’t want to finish in five minutes to only get another test.
“Oh.”
“But the fact you just failed to fail is a little concerning.” She chuckled a little and came over putting another test in front of me. I stared at it, this one was hard looking, I looked at her smiling. “If you pass this one I'll give you only one last test.”
“Fine.” I started and this one actually took me a while longer, but I finished after an hour, then double checked my answers catching two mistakes.
“Done?” She asked and a few others looked at her from their books. I looked at the clock, it was still a while before the end of the day, I looked back at the test before at her.
“I don’t want to take any more.”
“One last one after I check this one.” She snatched it from my desk and I bit my lip. She took it to her desk and she checked it till the end of class. “Stop.” She said as the bell rang and I paused looking at her.
“What?” I asked.
“You passed without a single incorrect answer.” The tests covered several subjects, it wasn’t just math, it was a lot of things. “Tomorrow you’ll take the last test and then if you pass that you’ll not have to take any more test from me, I promise you.” I got up running outside, Apple-Bloom and Sweetie Belle were waiting for me with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon making me pause.
“Scootaloo.” Apple-Bloom said.
“Sorry I’m.” Diamond Tiara went in front of me stopping me. I looked at Apple-Bloom and Sweetie Belle, and they weren’t shocked by this.
“Where did you get that collar and those earrings?” Diamond Tiara asked. I backed up away from her. “Even I don’t know where you would get something like that, and my daddy has plenty of gem crafters.”
“I don’t have time for this.” I bent down and launched into the air pushing them back from my powerful gust of air shooting into the air. I chuckled and paused seeing Featherweight flying next to me. “What the.”
“You’re not escaping!” Apple-Bloom shouted as they all chased me in a Twilight’s air balloon.
“OH COME ON!” I shouted at them. “Looks like I got to kick it up!” Featherweight’s eyes went wide as I fully extended my wings flapping hard and leaving him in the mist as I flew going down into the Everfree forest and he didn’t follow me, neither did they. Not like they could.
I easily lost them and ran inside his house closing the door behind me and looking out a window to see no one had followed me. I fell to the floor tired. A rather grim feeling came over me as if I was about to have my head ripped off. I shivered and looked at him with a rather distasteful frown on his lips. I gulped and got up.
His frown made fear and terror go through me making me run over to him and sit down next to him on the sofa. I looked down and he wasn’t close to being up. I looked up at him staring me down.
“M-Master, is there anything, I-I can do?” He just stared at me for a few minutes and tears went down my face dreading what he was planning to do to me. “Master please don’t be mad at me, I’m sorry for whatever I’ve done.” I shivered and his stared pierced me making me roll up into a ball scared. “Say something please.” I said lightly shaking.
“Where were you last night?” He growled lightly and I got up breathing fast. Finally words, sweet relief from his silent rage. While it wasn’t long, it was worse than him hitting me because just not knowing was unimaginably scary.
“I-I fell asleep at the library, I was studying with Twilight.” His gaze felt like it was burning through me with fire. “I’m sorry, I, please forgive me, I won’t do it again.” He chuckled a little bit.
“Not that.” He growled and I shivered.
“W-what may I do?”
“I slept without you last night.” He said gritting his teeth. “And then you told me that you would come later only to lie to me about that. I waited near an hour for you to come, but you didn’t, I checked your home and you weren’t there.”
“Tell me what I must do, please Master it hurts to see you like this.”
“Oh it’s far from hurting yet.” I flinched as he got off the sofa. “Stay, I'll be back with your punishment.” Tears ran down my face and I looked around scared, Dash, I wanted Dash, but-but she couldn’t help me. Even she wasn’t going to make a move till two weeks, unless I was about to die.
He came out with a new branding iron and I backed up making him frowned. He came over to me and ripped off my clothes like it was made of paper with his magic throwing them to the side, then he pinned me down on my side.
“Master please, no!”
“SHUT UP!” He yelled at me. I looked at the branding iron, it was a heart shape. “I hope you bite your tongue.” He pressed it to my side around the whip scars and I screamed covering my mouth so it wasn’t loud as he dug it against my side. If it weren’t for the clock on the wall I would’ve thought he kept it there for hours, not ten seconds. I gasped as he pulled it off making me choke on my tears.
“Master.” I begged gasping for air.
“Shut up.” He flipped me over and I screamed loudly at the pain covering my mouth with my shaky hooves.
I stared at him as he pressed it to my other side. I screamed hitting an octave I didn’t know I could reach causing a window’s glass to crack. He took it off and everything burned, my insides were on fire, I could smell myself cooking and my hair burning to my skin. I gagged at the smell and he picked me up.
He took me into the bathroom and tossed me into the shower and started running cold water. I flipped around like a fish trying to cold my burning sides, but each time I switched sides the other side would burn.
“Thank you Master.” I said crying finally sitting up to have the water hit both of my sides just right. I turned when I saw a glimmer of something. I paused seeing a silver whip in his hoof and him grinning. He whipped my right side and I let out a scream as it hit perfectly on my side in the middle of the heart sending me flying into the wall and spraying blood across the tile. I coughed some water out.
“Move back, I want an X in those hearts.” I started shaking. “Or do you want me to whip you till I get it right?” He growled and I got up trembling. I went back to the spot and blood ran down my side. He whipped me and I rolled back into the wall spraying more blood. I gasped at the pain. Next to the burning, the stinging and stabbing played hell with my insides. Making everything churn as if being ripped out.
“Master, no, more.” I begged barely able to breathe from the pain and the need for air mixing together.
“Don’t fool yourself, we have to have it match.” He growled and I got up coughing walking back over to the spot dizzy. I got into position and he whipped me sending me into the wall choking on blood mixed water. “Again.” He growled and I tried to get up, only to fall onto my side screaming in pain.
“Pleeeasseee.” I begged. “No more.” I managed to choke out.
“NOW!” He yelled, I tried getting up, but couldn’t. He grabbed me and throwing me out of the shower hitting a mirror on my right side. I shattered the mirror and fell on glass having landed before me on the floor, then glass rained on me from above. “I'll not let you keep me in a bad mood just because of some stupid little game that you want to play!” He flipped me over and whipped me completing the other X.
“Sp-spa-spare.” I couldn’t even finish my words as I drooled blood. Glass had found its way into my mouth.
Tears and blood pooled around my body, everything hurt again, the small pieces of glass embedded in my skin didn’t help me. They only stabbed me more all over my body. He picked me up and started pulling out the glass making me yip lightly at the pain. He opened my mouth finally and pulled out a few large pieces throwing them onto the floor.
“That made me feel better.” He took me over to the sofa and set me in front of him on his legs as he pulled out some thread. He started sewing the X’s closed along with a few rough gashes on my body. “Wake up.” He slapped me on my side making me gasp in blood, I spit it out lightly drooling it out.
“M-m-m.” I stopped trying to talk, it wasn’t going to come out. I just lay there in pain as he finished sewing me up.
“Beautiful work if I do say so myself.” He looked me over wrapping up my wounds and I choked at how tight he did it knowing it hurt. He turned me on my back giving me some kind of relief. “Now then, what to write, what to write.” He took a knife off the table with his magic and tapped his lips making me start to hyperventilate.
He gasped realizing something. He opened my hind leg and wrote liar on the inside of it, and then whore on the other side knowing they wouldn’t scar. He smiled spanking my flank. He then made me kiss him and my mouth stopped bleeding.
“Mas-Master.” I managed now that I wasn’t drowning in my own blood.
“I’m feeling much better now.” He moved me showing him hard and I whimpered knowing it was going to hurt. He went inside me and both of us were dry, plus mixed with his size, it made me pass out finally from the pain.
