Six Shadows to Warn You

Darkness.

It all ended in darkness.

Where am I?

Why do I feel so strange?

I can feel my legs and arms but they feel... like they're part of something else entirely.

I feel like I'm hanging from a wall, but I also feel like I'm part of it?

I feel so odd now. Where am I?

I can barely open my eyes. They feel so heavy. My body feels heavy and sore. It aches all over. I can smell something too, but I can't make out what it is. Slowly I felt my eyes open. I can smell death. The smell of rotten flesh and blood. I see I'm hanging from a wall of a tunnel. One end is lit with a bright white light that I can't make anything out at that end. Then again my vision's so distorted I could just be seeing things.
The other end is so dark I can't see past the dark veil any better than the light. I can hear screams and moans all around me but they're heavily distorted. Like someone was screaming into a muffled pillow as they fought against a dark assailant trying to silence them.
As my vision clears my surroundings become more clear to me. The walls are almost like a bone-like structure like an animals rib cage that ran the whole length of the tunnel to either end. I was naked and I felt my arms were apart of this place. My vision was still blurred and I could barely see my surroundings, but I could tell the walls were pulsating.

I detected the faintest sound of a heart beat as the walls of flesh and bone twitched like a heart constricting on itself as the beating went on. Realizing this I began to panic. I pulled lightly at first trying to free my arms and legs. Then I tried yanking them as hard as I could to get free. But every time I did it caused a great deal of pain that I was forced to stop.

I was trapped.

I was scared.

I had no idea where I was or what happened to me. My mind was as dim as my vision. I was never one for thinking things through I was more of an action taker. I dove head first into things without a second thought often, especially if it was about my friends.
Suddenly there was a loud hissing, like a snake but very loud and very close. It was then I realized that the walls weren't just pulsating, but slithering as well. A section uncoiled itself realizing a monstrosity that resembled a barbed serpent. I felt my heart skip a beat as I watched the monstrosity unfurl itself. It's body was black with light skin covering over part of it blending into the wall where it joined with it. the full length of it was like a spine and had hundreds, no thousands of tiny insect like legs giving it a centipede appearance. But it wasn't the body that made my heart skip.

It was what was at the other end that did.

It was a young girl, one I knew well. We had been dating for a while. Her legs were part of the insect-like body like a mermaid, only part bug instead. Her fair skin, flawless and beautiful. Her eyes full of passion, pride, and self confidence. Her silvery hair flung to the side as she whipped it behind her as she lay one hand on her hip.

She had one large barbed arm like a crabs leg that stuck out from her back and she looked at me in a way that made me feel warm and horny. It didn't help she was naked. But my fears soon returned as she slowly crept towards me, whispering my name as she did.

"Rainboooww."

"Rainboooooww."

"Tr-Trixie?"

"Oh Rainbow," she said slithering up to me coiling herself beside me. "How long I have waited for this day. They promised me you'd come to me my beloved athlete. But never Trixie's wildest dreams did she ever thing they'd deliver."

I could see the lust in her eyes. The way she looked at me was like a animal hungry for its prey. I was afraid of her. She kept talking like a dirty whore who wanted nothing more than to have her way with me. She touched me, molested me, and violated me. This monster wasn't Trixie.

My Trixie was a beautiful girl. Talented and sweet. She would never do such things to another. This wasn't her it was a monster like how Sunset was when she turned into that demon. Trixie wasn't a demon or a monster she was...

Dead.

It all came back in a moment.

She was dead. She had been for a few days. That's when-

"Oh, Rainbow." she cooed into my ear reaching with her arms down between my legs forcing them apart as wide as the walls would allow. "Trixie knows it has been hard for you, but we're together now. Don't worry. You don't have to be alone anymore."

She then leaned closer to me and kissed my lips once. It was a quick peck, and one I would savor for it was the last kind act I would receive for a long time. We looked into each others eyes before she pulled away and er third 'arm' wrapped around my mouth and the pointed tip pierced though my belly and dug into the wall.

I let out a muffled scream, but the arm kept me quiet. I struggled against her, but she was too strong for me.

"I missed you so much, Rainbow." she said running her hands across her chest, covering them. "How long Trixie wished for this moment, she will not say, but know that she longed to rejoin with you and now we have."

Trixie giggled and slithered herself across the wall above me and slowly circled around me as she spoke. She came up beside me, the pain from my stomach still going strong, and she placed her hand over my heart. I then realized something. My heart wasn't beating. She seemed to sense my distress. Leaning over to kiss my cheek she giggled at my struggle and wrapped her arms around me, giving me this deceleration.

"You don't need be afraid Rainbow. Here in the middle of the Seventh Circle we'll have each other for eternity."
When she finished she plunged her mouth to mine and forced herself upon me. I cried struggling against her hold but found it was a futile effort. I then saw what was around me, looking along the length of the walls I saw hundreds of others in in a similar state that I was in. Beside me I saw a young woman being attacked by strange human like creatures with bird wings and legs. They struggled as the fought over her eyes.

It made me sick to see, but the screams were clear. I could hear begs and please for mercy. Some were calling to God hoping to see a savior to release them from this hell. No, not this hell, this was the Hell. I never believed in it before, but now I was here. I screamed once the realization hit me. Clenching my eyes shut I pushed against Trixie and begged for the pain to stop. I wanted to be free. To be saved. But it was no use.

As the screams echoed around me I came to realize that this was it. This was the end. I was here. Forever. Doomed to obscurity forever until the end of time, suffering at the hands of my lover in pained passion until time ceased and then we would truly be free. As I struggled crying my dead heart out I thought back to what led me to this nightmare eternal.

It all began a week ago after we beat the Dazzlings in the Battle of the Bands.

I remember it was a good time for my friends and I. We all saw how we left poor Sunset Shimmer feeling left out, no wonder too. After she messaged Twilight through some magical journal saying it would connect to another book in Equestria Twilight came right back despite the odds set against her. I had to admire her for that.

Loyalty to your friends.

After we defeated the Dazzlings they were run off stage and left us to party and relish in our victory. At the time, Trixie was still mad bout her teams defeat, claiming that while we vanquished the Dazzlings we wouldn't have her showstopping abilities, or some junk like that. Afterwards she threw one of her well known smoke bombs and did her 'vanishing' act.

It would be so awesome if she didn't always get caught slipping out of sight afterwards.

I never was one for thinking about such things often but from time to time I find myself wondering about her. While I always fund her prideful nature curious, and kind of hot, I always found her to be standoffish. Funny, my friends think I can be very similar to Trixie, I didn't see it though.

As I thought about this, Trixie slipped her hand deeper into me. My body tightened as the pressure built up. It was painful.

Painful.

Just like the day we fell in love.

I coughed as Trixie released me from the kiss. It felt like it was hours since we started.

Her tendrils wrapped around my bare chest. They were covered in spikes like a rose vine, slithering around my chest digging deep into my flesh. I felt it sting and the tendrils slithered all across my body digging into me. The pain was unbearable.

I screamed.

I begged for the end.

But all I got was laughter.

Trixie lifted away from me and laughed at me like I was some punchline to a cruel joke. She then slithered around me coming close to my face to where we were only an inch apart.

"Oh, Rainbow." she said with a cruel giggle. "This IS the end. But what you have is and endless eternity of suffering. That's our end Rainbow. That's what happens to people like us."

Like us.

That's when yet another memory came rushing back to me. It was the day Trixie and I announced our relationship to my friends. They weren't pleased, but Sunset and Pinkie were understanding, Fluttershy was the only one who didn't really seem to mind, but Applejack and Rarity were absolutely livid.

While my thoughts lingered, Trixie wrapped around me once more like a constrictor to its prey, but she didn't squeeze me instead she tenderly rubbed my cheek. The pain from her tendrils still fresh and stinging at my body, I winced looking away from her. She frowned. I could see from the corner of my eye she didn't like that.

With a heavy sigh she made the following deceleration.

"Don't worry Rainbow. We have an eternity to rebind again. I can wait." she said sisterly locking her lips with mine again.

When we met that night I changed as did she. We fell in love with each other in what I could only describe as eternal bliss. Every day I spent with her was better than the last. Sounds awfully cliche? Well, that's because it was, but I couldn't have been happier. Until the day she died.

I lost her that day. I had suffered so much the next two days. I couldn't eat. Couldn't sleep. I was angry at the world and lashed out every chance I got. My friends tried to reason with me telling me there would be others. But I knew it wouldn't be the same. Trixie WAS my soulmate. I knew she was.

After I lost her it was like my life came to a screeching halt.

She died due to a mishap at school during an open performance. She was performing for the whole school to make up for what she had done during the Battle of the Bands. But as luck would have it it was to be her funeral as well.

Turns out, Rarity had an ugly streak in her. One that would drive her over the edge and commit a horrible act that would lead to Trixie's death. Jealousy. She was jealous that Trixie and I were together and tried everyday to break us apart. I hated her for that , and when she confronted Trixie it push her over the edge.

Several hurtful words were said that night and Trixie ran off into the city and disappeared. I was so angry with Rarity that I stormed off into the city to look for her. I went to her friends places, her homes, no one had seen her all night. When dawn came I was so tired but school beckoned me, or rather I was drawn to it. For some unfathomable reason at the time I left my bags feeling awfully worn out.

As my thoughts lingered on that night, Trixie stopped and loosened her grip on my body, slowly dragging her clawed arm around my hips and up to my belly. She made such lewd sounds that I felt aroused despite my condition. She smiled and placed a hand just under my belly rubbing it tenderly. She kissed me gently on the lips again rubbing me still.

"Oh Dashie. How long I've waited for this moment. Now with us together we'll have a family."

That's when it all come to me. She slipped a part of herself inside my womb. I gasped by the sudden intrusion, my body went stiff but couldn't do anything to stop it. My arms and leg still immobile leaving me to Trixie's whims. The intrusion lasted for what felt like hours. Afterwards I felt the tendril leave. I felt relief overcome me as I found myself relaxing.

I hated feeling so helpless.

I bet that's what Trixie felt like when she died. I remembered the day it happened. After she ran away from Rarity the previous night I found her back at he school. Normally I would have been overjoyed but what I found distressed me. Inside the main gym was Trixie hanging by a noose. She had a small note to me taped to her chest saying that she was sorry for all the hardship she caused me that week and hoped I would be happy without her.

I remember clearly what happened next. Taking the noose I laid Trixie down on the floor and I wept. I never cried so hard my entire life knowing the person I loved was gone forever and I'd never get to see her again. I knew exactly to blame, Rarity. But I was too grief stricken to care about that. So I decided it was as good a time as any to pay the piper.

After I finished mourning I left Trixie in the gym I climbed to the tallest point on the main building. It was quite the view. I remember it was just after sunrise. The sun was just over the horizon and filled the entire view with a red hue making it one of the most beautiful things i had eve seen in my life. I thought about Trixie and how she was alone without me there with her in death. Morbid I know but that's how I felt.
I remembered the brief time we shared in that week. The laughs we shared and the time we spent together was some of the best, no it was the best time of my life. Thanks to Rarity I lost it all. Life is such a fragile thing. I never really thought about it until that very moment when I decided life wasn't worth living without Trixie at my side.

So I took the deep plunge over the ledge. Most would consider suicide an act. A way of reaching out to others, but for me it was suppose to be my release. I felt so alive in the few moments between falling and hitting the floor. I knew I did otherwise I wouldn't be here now. With Trixie forever.

While she sexually assaulted me I knew she was happy, and in a strange way I was happy too. Slowly over time I came to embrace the torture and got some sick pleasure from it and Trixie's laughs. But as luck would have it my eternal bliss wouldn't last long. I felt myself being torn away back from the pain and into a whole new world of pain. I felt myself losing consciousness and felt like my body was being torn apart. The last thing i recalled was Trixie calling out to me begging me not to leave her behind.

I promised her that I would come back or at least I tried to, but no words formed in my mouth. I didn't want to go but I was forced too once again lose her. Her cries and screams echoed in my mind until I regained consciousness. I had seen Hell and lived it. I was going to remember this to the day I die again with Trixie waiting for me there.

I awoke in a hospital bed shortly after. I coughed as the hospital personnel rushed in to tend to me. I felt relieved yet sad at the same time. Was it all a dream? Did I have some horrible nightmare and finally awoke from it? In the end it didn't matter, I couldn't remember much. I couldn't remember how I ended up here or why I was even here.

After checking up on me most of the staff left after which the doctor asked several questions, mostly about what I could remember. The best I could as remember the Battle of the Bands but nothing came after that. After questioning me the doctor left me alone to rest in bed. I glanced out the window which was open and had white curtains on it flowing with a slight breeze that came in. The next day I was discharged from the hospital and reunited with my family and friends.

I was so happy to see them and they were happy to see me too. Rarity was especially happy to see me. She was much older now and was constantly by my side the whole day. Turns out she liked me and that was fine by me, I mean I was awesome. Deep down something in my heart didn't feel right.

I felt guilty for some reason.

From that moment on I never once thought about what I experienced while I was in a coma and though I ended up with Rarity something deep down always nagged at me. A voice in the back of my head always whispering to me while I was awake, while I slept, always there reminding me.

"You promised me we'd be together Dashie."

It would be years later that I would realize what it was but that was a story for another day.
