Taken

Twilight woke up with a heavy heart, for some strange reason she felt like this 'Nuke' character had done what he had, it seemed that was something terrible that happened in his past. The next thing she knew was that, which held boldly enough no surprise to her, her body was still in the same position as last night. Nuke was nowhere to be seen nor heard, but that metal cone fitting around her horn was gone, her magic was back. Twilight looked around to find a fork on the other end of the table, grasping it in her magic she used the fork to pick the locks holding her hooves to the table.

After her hooves were free she worked of the rope around her midsection, with the rope gone Twilight was free. She looked around only to find herself in a kitchen.

Out of all the rooms he could've stuck me in, a kitchen? Really? Twilight thought, a little irritated with Nuke's choice of a room, a glowing light caught her attention. She moved closer the light and felt heat meet her face, when she moved the curtain that blocked out most the light she'd been seeing. She moved the curtain to reveal a forge, she stepped into the room her eyes shifting about from the weapons to the various tables' and tools. Unknown to Twilight somepony was right behind her, tackling her to the ground than picking her head up by her mane. Twilight felt herself lift off of the floor, only to be thrown across the room, her hooves getting caught by shackles that tightened to make sure she couldn't get away now.

The pony spoke with a tone different from last night, soft and painful. "I know what you want Twilight, you want freedom. But I can't let you have it, at least not yet."

Sacring Twilight out of her mind as the pony's face came into view, Nuke had trapped her again. Nuke held a hot branding iron in his magic, he held it close enough to Twilight's left side that she could feel the heat on the mettle against her side.

"I want just a few questions answered, and you must be honest when answering. Can you do that?"

Twilight nodded hoping not to get that branding iron put on her side. She gulped as the branding iron was moved away to a barrel of water by Nuke's left, extinguishing the hot iron quickly before it placing it into the hot coals in the forge.

"Now..." Nuke said with a calmer tone, hoping Twilight would forgive him for everything he'd done to her last night. "Why were you running through the Everfree by yourself at sunset?"

"I... I don't remember... why I was... it's all a blur...just one big blur..."

Nuke looked at Twilight's eyes looking for something to prove that she was lying or not. When he saw that she wasn't lying, he picked up a pair of hot tongs and placed them in the same barrel of water the branding iron had been placed in. This process was repeated for 15 more minutes, Twilight answered every question honestly from what she could remember.

Nuke let Twilight out the shackles holding her in the air, she nearly hit the floor belly first but Nuke caught her on his back. Before Nuke could even say two words, something hit the underside of his chin, Twilight had bucked Nuke. Twilight made a break for the doorway into the kitchen, then for the other door leading out of the kitchen. Twilight was halfway to the second door when Nuke grabbed her by the mane through his magic, Twilight picked up the fork from earlier and stabbed Nuke in his left shoulder. Nuke yelled in pain from pressure of the fork in his left shoulder, he picked up Twilight and threw her back into the forge with such force that few of Twilight's ribs on her left cracked.

Twilight's back faced Nuke as she held her injured side, the stallion picked up a metal rod and struck Twilight in the back.

"Aahh!" Twilight yelled as pain exploded all throughout her back and spine Nuke had hit her in the back repeatedly with the rod from the first strike. There was a hollow 'clank' followed by a light tap of a hoof.

"Look at what you made me. Look at me!" Nuke yelled at Twilight in rage, Twilight slowly turned her gaze to the green stallion. Nuke's expression changed from enraged to sad in seconds realizing what he had done. Nuke leaned down close to Twilight as he gently nudged her before he spoke once more. "Why did you make me do this? If only you hadn't run."

Nuke got up, covering Twilight's back with the curtain from the doorway, before leaving in flash of light. Twilight was in shock of what had just happened to her; she'd been questioned, chased, beaten, and the previous night raped. She ignored the pain when she curled up and cried softly.
