//-------------------------------------------------------// Blood in Lace -by Toxic Charm- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter one: The deal //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter one: The deal My names Toxic Charm, Just a standard (I be it weird) stallion from ponyville, all I did was sit in my shop "Toxic Desires," a small adult shop on the edge of ponyville. Everyday bored,tired, and just plain dull...that is until one day 'Blood Red" Came into my shop, and my life. I sit in my shop, bathed in dim fluorescent lights I read my favorite BDSM Comic, my mask making small rattles with my movements and soft breathes echoing out. I hear my bell ring making me jump up from my comic to see a red headed mare with a white coat holding a shopping basket looking at me with a smile. "Hello, May i ask where you keep the BDSM equipment?" She asked. "Oh, uh second isle...may I ask what in particular you are looking for?" I ask her putting down my comic. "Oh just some whips,paddles,gags, Such like that." She answered with smile. "Uh-huh...." I reply, rather surprised that a mare like this would want this kind of gear. I get up and walk her to the isle and show her the items she was interested in before walking back to my desk. As she looked through the items I couldn't help but observe her over my comic. Her cutie mark consisting of a knife with blood dripping off it, slightly concerning to me but not enough for me to make a deal of it. I tap my hoof as I flick through the pages of my story before I hear her infront of ms again. "Ok i'm ready!" I hear a excited voice, making me jump. 'Man how does she keep sneaking up on me?' I wonder before sitting up to see what she wished to purchase. I look through the basket consisting of a paddle with studs on one side for a sting,leashes,gags,choker collars,etc. "So,uh miss, I couldn't help but notice your cutie mark..." I ask as I start totaling up the items. "Oh isn't it amazing?!" She said with a bigger smile. "It fits perfectly too! I just love watching blood slowly ooze out of a fresh cut..." She said with a smirk. I look at her slightly concerned. "Uhhh...I don't think I've seen you before...you from out of town?" I ask wanting to change subject. "Trottington, the next city over." She answered still with a smirk as she eyed the comic "Saaay I know that comic..."  She said taking the comic and flipping through it. "Looks like someones a little but kinky~" She teased. I turned red within the mask as I felt shy with her looking at it. "Hmm...I assume you're a masochist, right?" She said not looking up from the comic. I give a small nod. "Y-yeah, how did you figure that out?" I ask curiously. "Well the comic showing the stallion being dominated is a dead give away, plus you strike me as the masochist type, I have a eye for that sort of thing." She stated putting the comic down. "So you would want to be a pet right?" She asked. "I guess?" "Good how about a small trade then?" She smirked as she asked this. "What kind of trade?" I asked cautiously. "Well, You want to be a pet, and I need another pet, You could be mine..." She said with a small sinister tone. I felt uneased by the mare but was too curious. "What's the catch?" I ask. "No catch, only a couple rules and a simple signature on a contract." She said with a shrug. "I do request though that you sign the contract at my place, that way I can get some help carrying this home, and if you arn't interested you can say no and never see me again, sounds fair right?" She stated as she gave a small smirk. "F-fair enough...can I get your name first?" I ask. She smiles. "Blood Red, pleasure to meet you, toxic is it?" She said. I give a nod. "Well lets go off to my place for tge contract..." she said in a quite tone. I sat within a cart next to what I could assume as a mental...odd mare, destined to a small town named 'trottington.' I nervously look out the window as we approach a small bakery and a butcher shop with a small house connected between them. "Here we are."  Blood says. I look at her nervously. "W-wait you live next to a butcher shop?" "And a bakery, but yes, I'm actually the butcher." She smiled a creepy smile. 'Oh celestia please don't let this be sweeny's daughter...' I pray to myself as I follow her exit from the cart. "So, before we go in I ask that you remove your mask." She requested. "I'm sorry?" "Your mask, please remove it..." she said dryly. "Uh well, why can't I keep it on?" I ask not wanting to take it off, I had always been nervous of how I look without it. "Because my room mates and my other pet may feel uncomfortable, now off." She politely demanded. I sigh and slowly take off the mask showing my green eyes. "Very cute, now follow me inside." She said opening the door to her dimly lit home. I followed behind her, my mind wondering why I agreed to this as I entered her living room, it was surprisingly empty except for a couch, some wall lights and a small table in front of the couch. "Very sorry about the lack of decor, most of my things are in the basement, I live on this floor and the twins that own the bakery live upstairs." Blood said as she pointed to the couch. "Now sit." I slowly walk over to the sofa and take a seat. Her horn gives a soft silver glow as she levitates a paper over to the table. "This is the contract, now please read it carefully there is no backing out once you sign it." She stated as I took it in my hand. I looled over the paper and the contract on it, which read: I x_________ Agree to be the pet of 'Blood Red' for the rest of my life or until dismissed, I x_________ also agree to not to disobey/talk back to 'Blood Red' I will also not take off my restraints,gags,etc. Without assistance or permission. I will only obey 'Blood Red' and only her unless instructed other wise. The signer is to not enter 'the dungeon' without his/her owner, or leave without his/her owner, said signer also agrees to not climax without permission from the owner. The signer also agrees that they are free to live their lives unless summoned by the owner, in which they must return to said owner within 24 hours, or be found by royal guards and taken back to said owner. The signer need to as well agree to that sessions of being pet can last as long as the owner wishes. In return 'Blood Red' is to not kill,maim,or severely injure the signer. The signer if feels can not take any more of a certain activity is given the safe word '_______' if uttered the activity is to cease immediately.   - Approved By princess Luna ( signature of applicant) X_____________________ (Drop of blood of applicant) X___ 'Princess Luna approved this?' I thought. "So why a contract?" I ask curiously. "So I don't get charged for rape or foalnapping basically." She shrugged "so we have a deal?" She asked. I sigh. "Where do I sign?" I respond nervously. Her face lightens as a pen appears in front of me. "On the Xs!" She said excited. "And what about this blood part?" I ask. "Well you give me your finger, I prick it and you poke the paper, extra measures to ensure no one forges a signature." She said. I gulp as I shakily sign my name, I put down the paper and hold my hand out to her. She smirks and pulls out a small knife and pokes my pointer finger making it slowly ooze blood. She gives it a small lick and and blushes. "L-later..." she whispers to herself. I nervously poke the paper,selling a bit of myself to a mare with a Blood Red mane...
