The night passed without a dream for the exhausted bat pony, which was a welcome change of pace from what she had been dreaming since being captured by the society. She eventually began to stir from her sleep, still feeling some lingering pain from the shock of the collar. With a groan she sat up and cupped her hands over her face trying to recall why she was sore.

Slowly she began to recollect the events of last night right up to being carried by Astron to this room. She slowly opened her eyes, the light of the room although dim was still bright enough to sting the mare's eyes, forcing her to take her time in opening them fully. The moment she was able to able to make out anything the first sight she saw was her jacket draped over the blanket covering her.

Placing a hand down on the fabric she gripped it and pulled it up. At first she thought this was a dream not remembering how the coat got onto the bed but the dull pain radiating from her limbs proved that she was in fact awake, not being able to figure out how it got there she pulled it off before sliding out from under the blanket and moving her hooves to the floor.

Her legs were stiff, but she was not surprised at that since her arms had the same sensations when she had moved them before. Wearily she got up and stretched her body out, which felt like a nice relief. She threw the coat around herself and slid her arms through the sleeves, lifting up one to her nose so she could take a sniff of it, her keen sense of smell picking up the scent of her beloved pink unicorn.

With each day the scent on the coat was getting weaker and weaker as it was being replaced by other smells, but Violet was intent on using it as a reminder of Shimmer Weave in turn using that memory to keep the temptation of giving in away. Letting out a sigh the thestral looked around the room, to her surprise there was already a nice looking breakfast meal laid out on the table for her, This was odd since usually she had been woken up in the past if she had slept past when breakfast was served.

Going up to the table she investigated the food. The meal she had been supplied was made up of a fruit salad, a croissant and a jug of orange juice, There was no sign of how long it had been sitting there and it looked really appetizing for the bat pony who was feeling rather hungry that day. At least she assumed it was day, she couldn't tell if it was just the day or if the ordeal she went through last night caused this feeling, whatever it was she didn't take long to sit down and starting eating the food.

She dug into the food quite greedily, hungry from the ordeal she had experienced, and part way through eating Astron came in looking towards the bed with a concerned expression. Noticing that his charge wasn't in bed he looked towards the table to see the night guard stuffing her face with fruit in an attempt to sate her unusual hunger. She chewed a mouthful of food before swallowing with a loud gulp and taking a drink from her glass of juice. Once she was done swallowing her food she remained silent and stared at the mountain of flesh waiting in the door frame.

His expression seemed to show a hint of joy as he saw the bat pony awake and showing a healthy appetite. After that quick moment of relief crossed over his mind he let out a cough. "You need to finish your breakfast. Once finished I have been ordered to bind you and take you to Lady Tourmaline to discuss your progress and last nights ... 'failure' as she put it" he said gruffly.

Hearing these words the mare frowned and looked back down to her plate. "Hrmph ... you call it failure, I call it sticking to my morals and what is right" Violet said, speaking in a proud tone.

"Those were her words ... not mine." the minotaur corrected, causing the bat pony to look up again with a raised brow, she was confused as to why he had to make that distinction. Reluctantly she continued eating after letting out a sigh to show her disappointment at what she was about to be put through.

Astron remained in the room while the pony continued eating, a thick silence coating the room between the two. Once she had eaten all there was of the meal Violet stood up and glared towards the minotaur as a sign that she was ready. Closing the door behind him the minotaur walked into the room and over to the cabinet that contained the restraints the bat pony had come to hate.

From it he grabbed a few sets of leather straps, a ball gag and some kind of harness, he brought the items over to the mare "Put your arms together behind your back like a box tie." He ordered her. With a sigh the purple mare done as told and held their arms together underneath her leathery wings.

The first thing Astron did was apply two leather straps around each of her wings, one on the top and one on the bottom. After he had done that he took the harness and slide it over her head and began securing it around her chest, two straps going around the front, one above her breasts and another under pressing the clothes against her fur allowing her breasts to be more visual despite the coat she had on. Thick bands wrapped around her upper arms that were connected to the back of the harness, her forearms were bound together by a single band that didn't allow for much movement and was connected to the same point on the harness as the bands on her upper arms.

After it was locked into place by quite a few pad locks Violet squirmed and struggled about, not liking this new device on her. She found however that it had been secured tight around her chest and restricted her arms movements to no more than squirming. As she was testing out her restraints a ball gag was slipped around her neck and the minotaur held it the ball of it, waiting for her to stop her movements.

"Open your mouth ... the sooner you do this, the sooner we can go." Astron attempted to reason with her, understanding that there was no way this new harness was coming off any time soon. Another sigh of defeat came from Violet as she opened her mouth. Rather than forcing it in however the minotaur took his time in putting the gag in, slowly sliding it in until the bat pony bit down on it so he could secure it behind her head. He was gentle with buckling it and even made sure it wasn't to tight earning another bewildered look from the purple mare.

Astron walked back over to the open cabinet and grabbed a length of cloth before closing it up again, he approached the bound mare once again "I ... need to blindfold you and carry you, you understand right?" He asked her.

With her mouth stuffed and arms bound all Violet could do was give an angry glare at the entity towering over her. After a few moments she nodded in agreement and turned around waiting for her vision to be taken away until Astron or whoever would allow her to see again removed it. The cloth quickly covered her eyes and was secured softly behind her head. She began questioning what was up with this minotaur now, but before she could think on it her body was lifted up and hoisted over a shoulder.

As she was carried the bat pony bounced up and down, her mane doing so more so than anything and it got to the point where
she began getting annoyed at the long silvery mane tickling her nose. After awhile of walking around Violet heard Astron start speaking to what sounded like another minotuar.

"I brought Violet as Lady Tourmaline requested." Astron announced.

"Good pass her here, you need to go and find High Fashion, the Mistress wishes to speak with him." The strange voice grunted in reply.

Astron didn't respond for a moment, but Violet could hear a low growl coming from him. After a few seconds the bat pony felt herself being lifted up and passed into the hands of the other minotaur. She was starting to get really aggravated at being handled like some package and wanted to lash out before any action was taken however she heard the doors open up.

The minotaur carried his cargo into the middle of the room and placed her down on her knees. Confused, Violet tried to turn her head around to find out if she could hear anything, but all she could make out was what sounded like muffled moaning and struggling against something with chains and what sounded like two different entities, one breathing calmly and one breathing quite heavily, the calm breathing she made out to be the minotaur beside her while the heavy and struggled one was coming from across the room.

Violet was kept in darkness for quite sometime as she was forced to only listen and the silence of the room was finally broken with a voice she recognized as Schorl's spoke up "Okay, remove her blindfold." She commanded the minotaur left in the room next to the captive thestral. "Astron should be back soon with High Fashion shortly."

Within moments of the command the cloth was pulled off, causing Violet to flinch and reel back as the light stung her eyes, once again forcing her to muffle a grunt into the gag. Her vision took its time to adjust from her body still needing to recover. Once she was able to see decently enough her eyes shot open after looking over at the crystal throne she was knelt before.

Sitting in the throne was Schorl Tourmaline with Chaise standing to her left. On the other side of the male unicorn was the large minotaur Sartek. Those three were somewhat expected to be here, however what Violet was shocked to see was to the crystal ponies right.

Beside the throne was a familiar pink unicorn that Violet hadn't seen for almost a month now. Shimmer Weave was there, bound to an X frame, having a bridle over her face keeping a bit gag secured in her quivering mouth, her eyes were covered by a think blindfold that was attached to the bridles harness. The mare was squirming and struggling against her restraints and looking between her legs the bat pony saw a vibrator had been left on inside of her.

Violet had so many questions running through her mind at seeing her lover like this. Was she bound this way as a punishment for the bat pony's actions the night before or some other reason? Is she in pain and what have they been doing to her? Her glare turned quickly to the crystal unicorn sitting smugly on her throne as her expression shifted from confusion to anger.

Before anyone could say anything about Violet's reaction the door behind the purple mare started opening and a stallion came walking in, a red pegasus with an extravagant brown mane and tail. It took a little bit, but the bat pony eventually recognized him as the stallion Shimmer and herself had seen torturing two mares up on the stage in the lounge the night they broke in. He started walking towards the throne not really taking notice of either bound mares.

"You called for me Mistress and here I am, how may I help .... why hello there ..." He stopped in the middle of the room as he took a glance at the kneeling mare, turning around and crouching down in front of her. "You must be that Night Guard everyone is talking about ... you really are a cutie and such a lovely long and silky mane." The stallion sounded rather condescending as he twirls one of the locks of her silvery mane around a finger. Pulling it gently to his nose and he took a sniff of it. "Ahhh~ lavender ... I see Mistress has been taking good care of you." He smirked at the scowling pony.

"Okay that is enough toying with Violet, High Fashion ... I called you here for a reason, but first how are you?" The crystal unicorn asked from behind the pegasus, Chaise watched the stallion insult Violet and through his calm demeanor showed signs of annoyance with the lack of respect he was showing her.

"I'm good, thank you for asking. I'm having quite a wonderful day if I might say so ... how about you Mistress?" He replied in a tone of respect and even bowed as he turned to face Schorl again.

"I could be better..." The crystal unicorn answered, giving a disappointed glance towards Violet "It's good to hear you are having a wonderful day ... how about those two slaves of yours that tried to escape? Have they learned their lessons yet?" She asked as she stands up and walks towards the stallion.

"Well you see ... that is why I'm having a wonderful day, the unicorn has been more obedient than ever and today when I walked into the club to fetch her she was rather happy to see me. I asked would she do anything I commanded of her and she said yes, I'm quite certain she is ready for the ritual ... I was actually on my way here to discuss it with you ... of course the earth pony is being rather stubborn, but there are signs that she is finally realizing that she is where she belongs." He explained, rather enthusiastically as Schorl guided him towards the throne and Shimmer. "When I heard you wanted to talk to me I was rather delighted ... now how may I be of assistance?" Looking behind himself he sent another smirk towards the bat pony.

Schorl placed a hand under his chin and guided his vision to the other bound mare in the room. "Well ... I wanted to you to describe what would happen to this mare if you or some other member would own her ... oh and make sure the bat pony can hear you. I'm sure Miss Violet can do with a reminder of what is depending on her choice." The crystal mare explained ending with looking over at Violet.

He cooed in delight at the sight before him and began walking around the mare, admiring her squirming and running a hand over her belly. "Hrmm ... a pink unicorn ... reddish auburn mane and tail ... purple waves with what looks like a shimmering effect suggesting a talent with magic I would assume, a lithe figure ... probably would make a lovely dancer with the proper training, a nice soft coat to indicate she took great care of herself ... Quite an interesting one in herself." He explains his observations to the group as he circles Shimmer and admires what he finds about her sounding intrigued and chirpy at being given the chance to evaluate this mare.

He stops in front of her and moves the vibrator around inside of her making Shimmer cringe and moan into the bit in her mouth while causing a growl from Violet who tried to get up to confront the red pegasus but was forced by the minotaur next to her to stay back and watch High Fashion inspect Shimmer like nothing more then property. "Starting with Star Seeker I would say that he would drag her around the society, humiliating her for his own amusement. He would probably put her up for public use quite often. making her think she is nothing more than a tool for pleasure"

He leans into her shoulder to sniff her hair. "Hrm as for Golden Locks ... I imagine he would take his time and revel in her suffering, using various sessions of harsh bondage and sex. He would take a lot of pleasure in breaking her and watching her go through his cruelty ... once he was done with her ... she would be no more than trophy he wouldn't have interest in any more, someone to entertain his friends visually and sexually"

After finishing he walks behind her and starts groping her breasts "As for me ... I would dress her up in various outfits, I would make her do table duty in a maid outfit that didn't cover these or her lovely little cunt. I would put her in animal costumes, forcing her to behave like the animal she is ... I would rent her out as a type three slave ... so she can only feel pleasure from me and pain from everyone else ... I will make her will mine in more ways than one ... then after I have her trained I'll keep her as my own doll to dress up. At that point I would rent her out as a type one to whoever wants to use her. After all, that is all she will be ... a sex toy" His smirk grew even more devious as he looked to Violet once more, licking up the neck of the unicorn bound in front of him, his tongue gliding over the pink coat of her lover.

This simple act of detailing what would happen to Shimmer enraged Violet, but that wasn't the intention of the scheme Schorl had laid out. The fear and sadness welling up inside the thestral at the thought of her beloved unicorn being subjected to anyone of those torments by the hand of a stallion was enough. Her vivid imagination bringing to mind several images to go with each of the scenarios brought up by the male pegasus only serving to make this speech all the more horrible to endure for the bat pony.

Through the myriad amount of changes between the strong emotions of disgust, horror and despair Violet could feel her stomach churning as this ordeal was sickening her to the core. This reaction didn't go unnoticed by the two unbound unicorns, the stallion feeling guilt at this while Schorl couldn't help but let out a small laugh as this new plan got the intended emotions stirring in the captive thestral. "Thank you High Fashion ... that will be all from you today, I'll meet you in the lounge later about your slave's ritual once I am done dealing with this matter. On your way out tell Bell Chime to come in." She said, addressing the pegasus who had finished playing with Shimmer.

The stallion simply nodded as he replied. "Of course Mistress. I shall talk to you later." He then walked out of the room, brushing a hand along Violet's shoulder despite her attempts to reel away from his disgusting touch, turning her head to watch him leave the room glaring at him behind his back.

Not long after he had left Violet turned her angry glare back at Schorl before giving a worried sympathetic look at her lover who was strung up on the cross. She didn't care who this Bell Chime was, she just wanted to reach out and embrace her pink unicorn. From the corner of her eye however she saw the pony walk past, having a light brown coat with a deep crimson mane that had a few silver streaks in it.

Violet couldn't tell if they were a mare or a stallion as their form and clothing did not help give any clues and her attempts at trying to figure out were abruptly cut off when she saw who was following them. In tow by a leash was a white unicorn mare with only a collar on and a ring around her horn like the one on Shimmer, her hair was a wispy shade of blue with several strands weaving around of a darker shade, almost instantly the thestral remembered who this was and took another quick look at the pony leading them around. These two were the member and slave that she had seen on her first trip to the lounge with Schorl.

This time their coat was in pristine condition and there was not a mark on the small mare. She was even wearing a smile as she kept up with the pony. The unicorn took notice of the lavender eyes looking at them and responded with a kind smile and a small wave to show that they remembered as well.

Sometime during Violet's confusion Schorl had gotten up and headed towards the two new ponies in the room. "Thank you for coming Bell Chime and I see you brought Wispy Mist with you." She walked passed the brown pegasus and took the unicorn's hands into her own "You are looking much better than last time, how are you feeling dear?" The crystal mare spoke with a slight hint of concern for this mare.

Wispy had been focused on Violet and while her hands were being pulled up she looked dazed for a moment as if she hadn't really been paying all that much attention. After a brief moment of looking up and thinking she smiled and nodded "Yes I am feeling a lot better. Thank you for the concern Lady Tourmaline. Master Chime took me to the doctor Silver Scalpel who treated my wounds and even got help from another doctor to help them heal much quicker." She answered in a soothing tone that almost sounded like she wasn't really all there.

Letting go of the slaves hands Schorl turned towards Bell Chime "Did you ever find out what had happened to her while you were away for the day?" She asked the androgynous pony holding the leash.

The voice that came out of the pony did not help Violet solve the mystery of what gender they were as the falsetto voice trailed in
the room. It sounded soothing, though a different kind of soothing than the slave they had with them. While Wispy's was more of a kind and naive sounding voice this pony's was sweet and musical in a sense.

"Yes I did, she had apparently offended some blue pegasus. She thought Wispy here was being disrespectful and ignoring them due to her voice and mannerisms while she was walking the hallways to report somewhere, The mare took it upon herself to teach my poor Wispy an unneeded lesson that went to far. I've spoke to them about it and sorted everything out ... her name escapes me ... although I do remember it had Lightning in it. She was rather brutal ..." They replied looking up with a worried expression.

Noticing their concern Schorl walked back over to her throne while addressing the pony's worries. "Don't worry about it. As you know we have rules to prevent anyone from going to far. You were able to get Wispy treated and she looks lovely if I do say so. Now ... pleasantries aside lets get to why I got you to come here." The crystal pony said sitting down once again.

Bell Chime looked down at the bound mare to his left. "I'm guessing it has something to do with her Mistress." The pony crouched down near the bound mare. "Hello again ... I'm not sure if you remember me, you seemed rather distracted last time we met. I'm Bell Chime, it's nice to meet you Miss Violet." they said to her seemingly ignoring the fact that Violet was bound and gagged, Finished with talking to her the pony stood back up and looked over to the group at the end of the room.

A nod from the crystal mare showed that they were right. "Yes, it does involve her. You know how I want her to become a member. Well this week I want you to take her and show off the relation you and Wispy have ... to show her how well others adapt to being slaves. I thought your trustee slave and you would be a great example for her to see ... I would also like you to take this one as well." She gestures towards the other slave unicorn in the room. "This is the mare I was telling you about, Shimmer. She has been good lately and I have decided she has earned a week with her mistress, are you able to do this?" Schorl asked them while watching the pegasus with expectant eyes.

They took a look at Shimmer and then turned their gaze down to Violet with a kind expression. "I should be able to do that ... however, I'll not be able to start until tonight I am afraid. I have somewhere I need to be to take care of a certain important matter." They bowed down graciously to apologize.

Schorl smiled at getting the answer while her horn lit up. "That's okay, they can wait in Violet's room until you are ready. If you go with Astron he'll take you to where our night guard guest has been staying. He will also give some instructions I have concerning their care." She explained as Violet watched the crystal unicorn's magic unbind Shimmer from the cross only to rebind her wrists in a pair of leather cuffs behind their back. With the unicorn rebound Schorl's magic took a hold of the reigns from the bridle around Shimmer's head and started guiding the blinded mare towards Bell Chime.

Grabbing the reigns Bell Chime passed them off to Wispy and went to lift Violet up. Astron, who had entered the room unnoticed, came over after the bat pony was brought to her hooves and put the blindfold on her again before lifting her up to carry back to the room with her new caretaker following.

Violet didn't know how she felt about being handed off to this stranger, but it was the last thing in her mind at the moment. The fact that Schorl was allowing Shimmer to come along taking precedence. No matter what Schorl and this new pony, Bell Chime, had in store for her she found it more important that she would finally be able to spend sometime with Shimmer once again after what seemed like ages to the captive thestral.
