A Midnight Hope

Previous Chapter

About 4 hours after her ordeal began, Fluttershy was alone in the cold, dark, unforgiving room. Master had only had his way with her for about an hour after injecting her with the Toy Doll cocktail before getting tired of fucking the frightened pegasus. By now, the cocktail had worn off and Flutters was free to move again, but you wouldn't have been able to tell by looking at her. She laid motionless on the bed, crying. This had been going on for hours as Fluttershy feared these next few days would be her last. She was convinced that her friends wouldn't get to say goodbye or even find her remains. She sadly envisioned her funeral with a closed, empty casket. She envisioned what each of her friends would say about their long lost friend. The saddest testimony for Fluttershy to imagine was the one she imagined Rainbow Dash giving. She saw the once strong, tough, fearless blue mare break down into an inconsolable wreck, hunched over her empty casket, sobbing for her childhood friend. She envisioned Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor also getting choked up during this foreseen funeral. Among the hardest hit, though, she knew without a doubt, would be her animal friends. Acting out these almost certainly future events in the theater of her mind quickly drained Flutters of any energy she had left inside of her and her sobbing slowly subsided. She was still just as sad as ever, but she was losing the energy to show it, as her consciousness quietly and stealthily slipped out from under her dreary head. Within minutes, Flutters was fast asleep.

She couldn't even tell that she had fallen asleep at first due to the similarity of the vision she was currently seeing  as compared to the one she saw before falling asleep, but she quickly became aware that something was different when she noticed that all her friends and other attendees were gone, except for one. The one pony that remained wore a fancy black dress and a black hat with a black veil covering her face. The tall alicorn lifted her veil and Flutters immediately recognized the face. "Princess Luna!" Flutters exclaimed and ran over to the night princess, hugging her tightly. "I'm so happy to see a familiar face!" Princess Luna looked around at the scenery of the dream she had entered and saw the coffin beside Fluttershy's grave with a smiling picture of the pegasus atop the casket. "Oh my, this is a far darker nightmare than I assumed it to be. Normally your dreams, even negative ones, are mild compared to this," Luna responded. She hugged the yellow mare out of concern. "What could possibly be troubling you so much to be dreaming of your own demise, my dear Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy's eyes filled with fear as the skies in the dream grew dark and off in the distance stood Master, slowly approaching and laughing manically. "IT'S THE COLT! THE COLT THAT KIDNAPPED ME! HE'S GONNA HURT ME AGAIN!" Fluttershy screamed in terror as she held onto Luna tighter. "What? You were kidnapped?!" Luna said in shock, staring down at the pegasus. Flutters watched petrified as Master drew ever closer from the hill. Noticing that this stallion had deeply traumatized Fluttershy, Luna knew if she wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on, she would have to eliminate this threat to make the pegasus comfortable enough to speak, even though the stallion posed no physical danger. Luna's eyes turned white as she unleashed her magic upon the dream-world Master and disintegrated him with one beam from her horn. "He's gone. I took care of him." Luna said to Flutters and showed her that she spoke the truth. Master's ashes lay in a pile where he stood.

"Now tell me about this kidnapping. What happened?" Luna demanded in a concerned voice. Fluttershy composed herself and spoke. "Well, I had just arrived in Fillydelphia to see the new animal sanctuary there, but after I checked into my hotel, someone broke in and knocked me out." "And the stallion you just imagined, that's who did it?" Luna asked. "Y-yes! I-I saw him without his mask at the train station just when I got into the city!" the yellow filly replied. "Did you get a look at his face? What did he look like?" Luna realized the severity of the situation now and that Fluttershy wasn't making this up as part of her dream state. This was in fact real. "I-I didn't see his face. It was covered in bandages. All I know is that his name is Master and he has green eyes." Flutters began crying again, remembering how much she started to fall for those beautiful eyes and how she even secretly wished for that dashing stallion to make love to her. She hated herself for falling for someone who turned out to be her worst nightmare. She hated herself even more knowing that she lead him right to her by giving him her hotel information. She wanted to give Golden Bit a sexy surprise if he showed up, but instead she fell right into his trap.

"Do you know where he took you?" Luna frantically asked, anxious to piece together this urgent mystery to save Fluttershy. Fluttershy remembered her captivity room in vivid, horrific, gruesome detail. She muscled through the fear to tell Luna all that she knew. "I don't know where it is but, I think its a basement somewhere. There's a tiny window on the top of the room that clearly leads outside right at ground level, but I can't see anything out of it since it's too high. The floor only contains a mattress. One of the walls has the words "HELP ME!" scratched on it and another has lots of sex dungeon toys and surgical equipment on it." Once Luna heard that sex toys were involved, she immediately realized what was going on. "Of course," she said. Fluttershy looked confused at the Princess. "We're dealing with a sex slave dealer." Flutters finally understood and mentioned, "Come to think of it he did say something about an auction in 6 days. He wants to sell me to someone named Mr. al Neighhir." Luna's eyes widened. "Mr. al Neighhir?! The Head of the Saddle Arabian Counsel for Foreign Affairs?! Oh my gosh," Luna said in absolute shock. "It all makes sense. Celestia and I have always invited him and his wife to social events but he has never shown up with his wife, yet he always talks about her. He keeps giving excuses as to why she can't come. He doesn't even have a wife! He just has SLAVES!" Luna's eyes turned white again, angered by the corruption she had just pieced together within the Equestian government. However, Luna quickly remembered that the most important task at the moment was to rescue Fluttershy and calmed down.

"Do you know where this auction is to be taking place?" she asked the pegasus. "No, he never said," Flutters replied. "Well it is unlikely he will leave Fillydelphia for an auction. The shorter the distance he has to travel with his kidnapped mares, the easier it is for him avoid being caught." Luna placed her hoof under the pony's chin and brushed it lovingly. "Don't worry, Fluttershy. I will do whatever it takes to find you. I will let Sister and your friends know right away and we will organize a search party. I will also spread word to the Crystal Kingdom too and inform Cadence and Shining Armor. Those responsible for this act will be punished dearly and will never be allowed to hurt another mare again!" Flutters hugged the princess and cried once more. "Thank you, Princess Luna! I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't shown up! Please, HELP ME!" "I will, my timid Fluttershy. I will...and this "Master" as well as Mr. al Neighhir will not get away with this. Now please, try to get some rest. I will begin the search immediately." Flutters felt herself slowly fade out of the dream as it collapsed and gave way to nothingness as the pony slept quietly on her dirty mattress.
