Hell's Silencing: Forsaken Innocence

Flora sat on her haunches staring at the lone shackle as if she were in some sort of trance. It seemed to hypnotize her into a horrible complacency--a false sense of security. A forsaken hope, as it were. Her mind was screaming at her and so was her supposed sibling, they both were telling her to get off of her lazy ass and do something about this fine mess they landed in. But she felt paralyzed. She felt as if some invisible superglue held her hooves and rear end onto the ground. Onikiri was silent; it was as if she lost all ability to talk.

The static began ringing softly, and a faint distortion came with. Flora immediately snapped out of her stupor, getting up hastily. She held the Knife with an invisible grip as her ears suddenly perked at an entirely new sound.

It was the sound of...cloven hooves hitting the floor in an eerie manner. The sound was very menacing indeed.

Realizing the sound came from behind, the mare cautiously turned around--only for her mouth to hang open in horror.

An entirely new adversary entered the room, black-taloned feet holding up its crimson frame. Its left arm ended in three sharp, elongated claws while the right hand ended in a misfit of a butcher's cleaving knife. A long, bony tail lined with horrendous spikes and ending in the Devil's Triangle swayed behind its master while a series of long spikes stuck out from its backside, causing the beast to have a somewhat hunched appearance. A mass of pointed, contorted flesh hid its real head too well for those looking at the front.

Flora felt a searing pain in her right eye as her breathing became frantic. The static started hitting her ears full blast as the thing seemed to laugh at her. Its voice was...inhuman.

Demonic.

Flora's legs refused to move, and looking down in desperation she saw why.

More shackles held her in place as another wrapped itself upon her neck, forcing her head to look at the creature. That....hideous abomination slowly lurching its way towards her. The Knife was thrust into her book-bag because there was no way to harm this thing, given all means of escape were cut off.

The creature...actually said something, but its voice came out in a series of high-pitched shrieks that made nails on a chalkboard sound like Beethoven.

It's been much too long, Flora. It's time you paid for your crime against me!

Her ears instantly fell flat and her eyes widened. She...did something wrong to this thing? How? Why?

The pain in her eye not only got worse, but quickly spread to the rest of her body. Her legs flailed about as her cries of agony echoed into the darkness beyond. The creature proceeded to let off an evil laugh--it was enjoying her pain.

Using her mind's eye to undo her confinement, she bolted around the creature in a frenzy of terror. A familiar, stained hallway greeted her as the pursuer gave chase. Her breath quickened much more as the pains began showing their true colors. Flora became half-blind, being able to see only out of her left eye. Her left foreleg became useless, reducing her to a mere shamble. It felt like something really sharp and jagged was thrust into her private part before being forced downwards, which in turn resulted in the feeling of spilled internal organs.

Falling to her side in defeat whilst letting off a shrill cry of agony, she looked at her body.

Stained in vermillion.

Intestines coiled around her hindhooves.

Hideous lacerations all over. Did she catch glimpses of fucking bite marks?

A tail that was caked with the smell of death.

She wearily rose her gaze to the demon, tears falling down her cheeks.

Flora tried moving her jaw to speak...only to find it and her tongue had been torn off. They were in its claw.

'How did he hurt me that fast?' Flora thought in confusion. 'Is it my time to go now....? I wanna stay...'

The demon began to cackle once more as its own blade rose to the height of a guillotine.

The mare closed her eye shut, waiting for death to whisk her away.

But she heard a male voice shouting at the beast before she blacked out.

And that voice sounded very much like Ren.
