Scar Tissue

You walk slowly to everypony. You see 9 ponies, 4 of them hanging together eyeing you.

You walk slowly to everypony. Cliques. 2 of them are meandering around the edges of the gym. The last 3 are playing basketball. Hmm, they're all girls, I guess they don't let us intermingle you think as you turn to face your therapist. "I thought you were taking me to the 'house'? This is a gym." "Yes but I figured you'd at least like to see the other ponies that you'll be with."

"Yea, that's cool, thanks. Now can we go put my stuff up?" You ask grumpily.

"Yes let's go." He says. He and you trot up some stairs towards two buildings, each in the opposite direction of the other. He trots towards the one on right and you follow. Mr. Garza grabs a single key from from his coat and unlocks the door. You trot down a hallway with doors on both sides. The hallways ends in the middle of the building to introduce a a large living room. There are two huge shelves on one wall, a large line of windows showing the gym and the forest on the other wall, and on the third wall is a large picture of a Phoenix. There is a small desk with a checkerboard on it and a bunch of chairs and sofas surrounding a medium-sized Plasma T.V.. The T.V. is encased in a wood box with a plexi-glass window showing the screen. There are smudges and scratches all over the window. The T.V. looks overheated. Mr. Garza heads over to one of the shelves and looks at a piece of scroll taped to it. "OK, your room is on the East Side and its on the left, last room. you'll be sleeping by the wall." You head in that direction but suddenly feel a cold hand on your shoudler. You flinch and are instantly reminded of that day, that awful day 3 years ago. You freeze and get goosebumps. "Did you hear me?" You hear somepony ask. "Huh, what?" You ask, as though leaving a trance.

"I said, you can't take your bags with you yet, they have to be searched." Mr. Garza says. You finally realize the situation and clutch the straps of your duffel bag tightly. "Woah, hell no. No one is searching through my stuff."

"Yes, I'm afraid we are, and we're going to have search you too. But we can do this after the tour. For now, just leave your stuff here, in this office." He says as he unlocks another door on the fourth wall, with the same key.

"How come no one informed me that I was going to be searched against my will? I'm pretty sure that's against the Equestrian Bill of Rights." You say righteously.

"It's all in the paperwork your mother signed, if she didn't inform you then I apologize for the lack of information. I can have the doctor and the House Manager explain all the rules and rights to you on Wednesday. Now, onto the tour!" He says with that silly smile he had earlier. You follow him as he opens another door with the same key, and locks it behind him. You're in a room with a door on the right and a stairway on the left. The stairway goes both up and down, indicating that you're somewhere in the middle of the building. He opens ANOTHER door with the same key and you enter a backyard like setting, only the floor is entirely cement and there are picnic tables like what's found in a park.

"So what's up with that key of yours? You've used it 3 times now. Does it unlock everything in this building?" You ask, interested. He laughs and gives of that silly smile again. That smile sure is weird, yet uh, calming... you think as he begins to speak. "You could say that, but this key doesn't only just unlock everything in this building, but everything in this whole treatment center. All the staff have this key." He says. We trot up the cement 'backyard' and then find a gravel road with a couple of cars here and there. I guess these are the staff's cars you think out loud.

"Huh?" Askes Mr. Garza.

"Nothing." You reply. You head up a a winding path of of stairs and see at the end of the stairs another gym.

"So as you can see," He says when you reach the top of the hill. "That we have two gym's at this facility, there is also an outdoor basketball court, and behind it is the ropes course, which you'll be participating in every Wendnesday." He points behind him, showing off all the sights.

"What are all these buildings here for?" You ask, pointing to the surrounding buildings. You also notice a Gazebo and a pool. "These are the offices, and these other buildings are the other 'houses' where different ponies stay. We have ponies of all sorts of ages here. We have fillies and foals as young as 6 and ponies as old as 18. I saw that you are 17 in the paperwork." He says non-chalantly.

"Bit of an invasion of privacy. And holy shit that's pretty young to be in a place like this. I mean 6 years old! Wow!" You gasp, surprised by the information. You hear a noise that sounds like static and Mr. Garza pulls out a walkie-talkie and starts muttering into it. You think you can hear the words nurse, and new patient. He nods, and puts the walkie talkie back into his coat. "Well it looks like the nurse is ready to see you so I'm afraid we're going to have to end this tour. You nod and you both head back down the stairs towards the house. You pass the building from earlier on the opposite side of the house and your therapist tells you it's the cafeteria. They serve 3 square meals every day, and there is a snacktime every time the nurses serve out meds. He unlocks the door and you find that all the ponies from before are back. Time to introduce myself you think glumly as your therapist follows behind you, matching your pace.

You walk slowly towards the center of the house, the 'living room'.

You look around at all the ponies staring you. "Everyone, this is Cherry Blossom, she's the new patient here. Please welcome her as though she were your best friend." Mr. Garza says, introducing you to the awaiting ponies.

"Well my best friend is also my fuck-buddy so I guess I'm gonna have to have sex with her...not that I mind." A pony on the couch in the back says, giving you a wink. You shudder.

"That's an SAO right there Jake!" Yells one of the staff. This place is buckin' weird already you think, chuckling quietly. The pony, 'Jake', retorts and then the rest of the ponies all tell her to shut up, which she soon does. "Well I have to go but the doctor will see you tonight and so will the nurse." Your therapist says as he turns to leave. "Oh and I'll see you next week on Tuesday." He walks down the hallway and exits the building. Geez, I actually miss him already you think as you walk over to all the staff. There are two staff, a male and female, both unicorns, and they both have on t-shirts that say San Marcos. Both the staff are dark brown, but the female has a gray mane, and the male has a black mane. The female introduces herself.

"Hey there Cherry Blossom, my name is Ms. G! It's nice to meet you, and this is Mr. Glow." She says with a tone of voice that indicates she's done this a thousand times before. Mr. Glow looks at you and smiles. "Are there any questions you have?" He asks.

"Yeah, when can I leave?" You say with a snarl. One of the ponies, the one from that group of 4 that were eyeing you in the gym, laughs and then the other 3 laugh along with her. You instantly get red in the face, which only makes you angry.

"Hahaha, let's all laugh at the new chick." You mumble, wishing this would all end soon. Suddenly, 'Jake', gets up and yells 'DINNER', and all the other ponies rush up and go down the hallway that your therapist exited from and line up in a row.

Ms. G tells them to start counting off and they shout off numbers, 1 through 9 and then stop, as if waiting for you.

"Come on new girl, we're waiting." You hear one of the ponies say. You look up and see that everypony is looking at you, and that's when you realize you're supposed to count off with the rest of them.

"Ten!" You yell and everypony looks away, awaiting the staff to open the door. Mr. Glow gets out that key that your therapist had earlier and unlocks the door. Guess he was telling the truth you think as you follow everypony outside and up the metal stairs that leads to the builiding opposite from this one. You trot with everypony else until you stand on a metal porch outside outside the cafeteria. The door is ajar and the smells of different spices and herbs have got you craving salad and pasta. Oh dude I can't wait for some food, those herbs, almost as good as the 'herbs' and 'plants' I got back at home. Celestia it's been HOW LONG since I've smoked? You think as you start to get antsy, craving the THC, needing it. Then that's when you see it, a paper clip, on the ground, next to a couple rocks. Thank Luna in the sky above, a buckin' paper clip, now I can cut myself properly you think as you bend down to grab it.

"Hey, what you bending over for? Leave the dirt alone." Says Mr. Glow as he looks behind himself and sees you bending over.

"I ain't messing with the dirt, it's the paper clip I want." You whisper as you stand up, the metal object in hand. You decide to save the cutting for later though.

The pony in front of the line opens the door and walks into the cafeteria and the rest follow behind her. You enter with the rest and find it to be a lot less ghetto than it looked from the outside, with all the stones crumbling and rusty, and vines from trees overtaking the roof, you'd have thought it was a former prison.

"Hey you're new here so we're going to teach you the rules here." Says the pony in front of you. You look up to see two mischevious looking ponies staring at you, holding hands. The one that spoke to you is a pink pony with a purple and white swirl for a hair, you can clearly see her cutie mark one her hip, as she is wearing no pants and its that of a bejeweled crown or tiara. The other pony, the one she's holding hands with is a light gray pony with an even lighter gray hair. Her cutie mark is a silver spoon.

"I think I'll find out the rules when the staff inform me of them, but thanks." You say with a sarcastic smile.

"But dear, we need to tell you the rules, you'll die out here, especially with Jake eyeing you like a dragon eyes a pheonix's egg." Says the gray pony. She then places her hand on your shoulder. "Trust us."

This could be funny, let's see how this goes. you think as you take her hand off your shoulder and shake it. "Sure, why the hell not."

"Ok, well when we sit down at the tables you're not allowed to face the stallions. You can't talk to them, look at them, not a thing. That's the rules that the staff enforce. Otherwise you'll get an SAO." Says the pink pony.

"What's that?" You ask.

"It stands for Sexually Acting Out. If you get enough of those they move you into the room above ours. That's where all the sex offenders go." She says.

"Oh I met one of them once! I heard that she took pictures of the person she raped!" The gray pony says with disgust. You shudder. So everyone there is just like HIM you think, being reminded of that day...

No, Mr. Shine Please stop this! I won't tell anyone. Please!" You cry as Mr. Shine sucks on your tits. You gasp as he gently licks your nipple. Your body is betraying you, you can feel yourself getting wet as he continues to suck on your breasts.

"Be quiet!" He yells as he spanks your ass. You gasp again and shudder in pleasure. you try to get away but he is holding both of your arms with his giant hands. Suddenly he releases his grip and punches you straight in the stomach, causing you to lose your breath. You gasp for air but cannot find any. He gets up and walks to his desk and pulls out some duct tape.

"Time to shut your trap." He says as he wraps some around your mouth and head. You try to cry out but you still are struggling inwardly for air. He then puts your arms behind your back and tapes them together, restraining them.

"I got a special suprise for us, it's just a little something to help me remember this moment." He says as he walks to his desk, opens a drawer, and pulls out a camera.

You awake from your stupor from somepony snapping their fingers in your face.

"Hello, did you hear me, I said you can't look look at the stallions!"

You look around and notice that the line has moved ahead and there are only 5 people from your house in line. You also realize that you've been staring at the stallions long enough for one of them to notice you and he is flipping you off and laughing with his buddies. You get angry and flip him off right back.

"Hey what's y'all names anyways?" You ask, returning your attention to the line.

"Well my name is Diamond Tiara," The pink pony says, "And this is Silver Spoon." She says, pointing to the grey pony.

"Nice to meet you, y'all already know my name." You say as you shake their hands.

"Hey, come sit with us!" Says Silver Spoon. She grabs your hand as you grab your tray with the other and you all walk hand-in-hand to the back of the cafeteria.

The rest of dinner was a blur to you, with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon explaining the rules of the facility. You find out that this facility honors all holidays from all the kingdoms and cities because they have so many different ponies from different areas come. There isn't school this week because they are doing construction down there. Thank Celestia for that, I don't think I'm in the mood for school you think as you and your new 'friends' walk away with the rest of the ponies.

By the time you get back in the house, the urge to cut has grown intensly. You trot slowly away from everypony else into your room and grab the paper clip from earlier, but when you reach into your pocket you feel something else and pull out both the paper clip and your lighter. Oh shit I forgot this was in my jacket pocket you think as you start to slowly burn the paper clip.

"Buck yes!" You whisper happily as you drag the hot and sharpened metal tip through your fur and against your skin. You move Then you hear somepony calling you.

"Cherry Blossom, we need to search you and your stuff!" Yells Ms. G from across the hallway.

"Oh buck me, I'm screwed!" You whisper when you look up to see Ms. G staring at you. Instantly she runs towards you and pushes you to the ground, grabing the paper clip and lighter and restraining you.

"Mr. Glow, I need assistance!" She says as you start to put up a fight. You use all your strength and manage to get out of her hold and rush out the door, straight into the arms of the awaiting Mr. Glow. He grabs you r leg with his magic and causes you to fall to the ground, where you hit your head. You start to stand, but the blow was too much and you fall, losing consciousness. The last thing you remember is being lifted by their magic and Ms. G yelling 'Code Blue.'
