The Lone Cabin

You are awakened by a searing pain coming from the side of your face. What you see is Fluttershy wielding a bear arm. In the sideline is the stuffed bear missing such arm. When you try to stand up, you realize that your arms are tied to the support beam of the cabin. “What the hell!?”

”Oh no, I-I’m sorry!”

“Sorry isn’t enough to excuse what you’re do—“ She brings the arm down to claw your chest. You scream to the intense digging coming from the sharpened claws. When it seemed to go on forever, it stops. You look down and watch as blood trickles from your face and drips onto the open wound on your chest. “Why?”

”I-It’s that, you didn’t leave me much of a choice!”

“You could have just let we walk out.”

”I couldn’t let that happen.” She then drops the arm and sits down.

“What? Of course you can!”

”When would I ever had the chance to be with you again!?” She cries out.

You lie back on the post and look at her. “What is it that you want?” You mutter.

”You.” When she immediately said that, you flinched against the wooden post. ”I just want you.”

“You’re insane.”

”I… might be?”

“How do you think that this will work? Do you even have a plan?”

”I do.” She grabs her backpack and grabs a rag. “It took me a few minutes, but I have an idea.”

“Whatever it is, there is no way that shit will work out.”

She cleans up the skin and blood off the paw. ”I plan on keeping you here for a while and during so, I’ll show you how much of a good girl I can truly be.”

“Too bad your first impression was terrible.”

”There wasn’t much that I could have done! What was I supposed to do, let you go and wait for who knows how long would I have another chance!?” She puts the bear arm aside. ”When you said that you needed to leave, I panicked. I didn’t want you to leave so soon, and I was worried if I came too strong.”

“You have a hell of a swing, so I’ll give you that.”

”When you were about to go, I immediately thought when will you ever come back? Would it be the next day, maybe a week or month from now? I couldn’t wait for that to happen, so I looked around and took my bag—“

“To knock me out!?” You blare out.

"It was a sudden impulse! When I realized what I did, I panicked for a few minutes and tried to think of a plan.”

“And that plan was tying me up?”

”At the time, but now it looks like it is.” You shift around and feel your wrists wrapped around in some thick rope. ”If I were you, I wouldn’t move around too much. I’d hate to fix more than I should.”

You stop and rest on the pole. “Why, why me?”

She gets up and walks over to the cabinet. ”Remember what happened last year?”

You can’t think of much, not with this agony across your face. Fluttershy opens up the cabinet and pulls out a small medkit from inside. “No, I really don’t.”

She heads back to sit right beside you and opens up the red box. ”Last year, you were the only one who actually let me talk about my problems.”

“What about your friends? You have them for a reason.”

”I only hang around them since we caused trouble to the school. Making new friends were even harder since then.” She pulls out a rag and a bottle. “I was too anxious to even approach anyone else. The thought of how they would want to get away from we was unbearable.” She dabs some of the liquid from the bottle and onto the rag. “My friends didn’t want to hear my problems. They would always say that I complain about the same thing. The animals aren’t getting enough exercise, not enough volunteers around, and I understand that it does get repetitive. All I just want is to vent out my stress, that’s all. At least you listened when you were around." She holds the rag close to your face. ”This might sting.” She warns you. When she rubs it on your cheek, you slam the back of your head to the pillar. ”I’m sorry! Just a little more I need to rub on the cut.”

“Stop!”

She gets up and sits on your lap. ”Just hold still!” You try to kick her off, but she clenches her thighs to your waist. She puts a hand to your forehead and pushes the rag on the cut. You scream even louder as she applies pressure on it. When it is over, you try to catch your breath while she swaps out the rag for a bandage. ”At least a part of the problem is over.” She damps the rag with more of Satan’s piss and waives it close to your chest. You shake around as she brings it closer to you. ”We’re almost done here, Anon.”

“Just get it over with!” You shout out.

”Okay!” She closes her eyes and rubs it down. You grind your teeth and shut your eyes to keep your anger contained. ”I’m sorry!”

“Just finish this already!” You open your eyes when she stops and throws the rag away.

”Please, forgive me.”

“I will, when you let me go.”

”I’m afraid to say that it still will take a while.” You sigh as she grabs the bandage roll and moves it around your chest. You scoot away from the post so that she would be able to complete the circuit and cover your cuts. ”There, you don’t have to worry about the bleeding anymore.”

“What was the point of all this?”

”An excuse.” She answers.

“For what?”

”I’ll tell you when you’ve accepted my offer.”

“What was it again? I’m still traumatized by the treatment.”

”That I get to stay with you.”

“Oh, that. I know one reason, but anything else?”

She starts to put the stuff back in the medkit and closes it. ”There was something more than you caring about me.”

“Which was?”

She gets comfortable on your lap. ”Sorry about that. Anyway, remember last year that I had a boyfriend?”

“Yeah, you guys dated ever since the beginning of the school year and he broke up with you somewhere in spring?”

”Yes, but didn’t you remember what happened to him?”

“Didn’t he die or something?”

She brings her hands together and plays with her shirt. ”There is more than that.”

“Since I’ll be here for… whenever, go ahead.”

She temporarily smiles before looking depressed about something. ”It all started about a year ago. It was an average day, handing out flyers to people until… he showed up. We talked about what it was and he promised to come over sometime. He did and personally helped me out. After a few visits, we clicked and started going out. Everything was fine for the fall, but when winter came around, he was a bit… touchy. In spring, he was getting a bit pushy for a certain thing, and I caved in a few days later. I didn’t want to lose him since I said no and he was a good guy, so I didn’t want to be a terrible girlfriend for not doing so. When we did… it, I asked him to go easy, but he didn’t care. Even when I asked him to stop, he just kept going. That was only the beginning of when he revealed on what he truly was.” Her eyes start to tear up. “Two days later, he broke up with me on a text message. I asked why, but never responded.”

“Sounds like he was playing the waiting game and did get what he wanted.”

She sniffs a bit before continuing. ”I hid for days behind bushes, trees, anywhere I could get away from people when it was time for lunch. It stopped when you were reading behind a tree and found me on the other side. I tried to tell you to leave, but you stayed. After trying to tell you about the problem, you told me to do something, don’t let him get away with it. You told me to try to claim it as rape or somehow get him back. I took your words into consideration that entire day and finally made an idea that night.”

“Did that filing for rape failed?“ You question.

“No, I did something else. The next day, I built enough courage to ask him for a walk after school. At first, he seemed reluctant, but did agree to it.”

“Why would you do that?”

"It was only a part of the plan. Later that day, I took him into the exact same forest that we are in and wandered around for some time, talking like how we once were. When we were passing by a cave, I pushed him inside and let the bears take care of him.”

“Wait what!?” She nods. “You were the cause of it?!”

”It was an ‘unfortunate death’ when the search party was made a few days later and found what was left of him. I acted as if I was dismayed by it, but what I actually felt was nothing.

“That’s pretty cold, don’t you think?”

”He took a lot of things from me!” She shouts out. “He took my happiness, time, and virginity, only to treat it for his personal gain. It was difficult for me to give any sympathy for him.”

“But what does any of this have to do with me.”

”Every time that I was around you, I felt safe. Sometimes, it felt as if my troubles went away when I was around you.”

“How come you didn’t say anything before?”

”I wanted to, but I was too agitated to say anything since we were out in public. I thought that I could get you in a place where I’m more comfortable with, but you said no.”

You sigh and shake your head. “I’m sorry about that. I wish I knew beforehand.”

”It doesn’t matter now, none of it does. You’re here, and now we can start anew.” She looks through her backpack to pull out a bagged up sandwich. ”I normally don’t go anywhere without a snack. And since you were out for some time, I think that you might be hungry.” She is right. The hunger is starting to set in. Fluttershy starts to unravel the sandwich and brings it closer to your face. ”It’s just ham and lettuce, nothing else.” You think twice about eating it, but it’s not like you have a choice. You start to take a few bites before eating the whole thing. ”Good,” She said while rubbing your shoulder.

“Thanks.” You naturally respond.

She throws the wrapper in her bag and gets off of you. ”It’s been a long and rough day, but I’ll leave you for tonight.”

“You’re not going to stay?”

”I can’t. I have a lot of things to do for the next few days.” The barely lit room grows darker as she moves the curtain over the windows. ”I’m sorry to leave you like this, but it will get better in the next few days.”

“How can this get better?”

”You have me, so we can do a sort of things. Except, with the restraint that you have, it is kind of limited.” She gives you a kiss on the cheek and heads for the door. ”I’ll be back for you tomorrow, honey.” She closes the door and leaves you in the dark.

You shuffle for an hour to break free from the rope, but start to tire out and stop when your wrists start to ache. Before nodding off to rest, you question how long you will see the same few walls and wonder what will become of you. Will people miss you? Would they send a search party? What does Fluttershy specifically want from you? The one question is that will you get out of here alive? After that story she gave you, it’s hard to even think on what she will do if you refuse her offer. The one thing that you just realize about is how you will go to the bathroom. You should get some answers when you wake up in the morning. For now, you need to rest.
