Slave to Sex

Chapter 14

Freed

There was a knock of wood on thick metal that Gerald reacted to by flinching awake from his restful sleep. The door to his cell was open and Slice was smirking at him. “Ya sleep well, bud? Ah think ya’ve sobered up, so head on out. Last Ah heard, yer little one’s at the bakery waitin’ over a cup’a coffee.”

“Coffee?! Nein, she can’t have such energy,” he stood and made to rush, but looked at Slice to make sure. With a nod and gesture of approval, Gerald walked briskly past the stallion and out of the station into a bright and happy feeling morning. Every creature was happy to see him as they passed, some gryphons waving, showing off the same talon he’d used the night before, in greeting.

Ponies grinned, tipped their hats, bowed their heads, and otherwise gave respectful gestures as he passed them. It was so much attention he didn’t even want to fly to rush, even though he knew the risk he was taking by enjoying the moment and what the ponies in the bakery must be hearing or seeing at that very moment.

He felt like he finally had the respect of creatures after a lifetime of tribulation and emotional turmoil. He saw the little bakery and moved faster, taking his personal mission seriously. He saw creatures reacting and groaned to himself as he reached the door, preparing himself to dive in and take the lustful mare away from the crowd of onlookers.

“-says, ‘Rapist, be damned,’ it was the best moment of my life and the worst of Doc G’s!” The room filled with laughter and Gerald stood taller to see one of the soldiers in uniform platemail armor telling the story of what had happened only a few hours ago. “H-hey! There he is, the Gryphon of honor! Gerald, come in! Gerald, Gerald, Gerald!”

The room started chanting his name and for the first time in forty years, the adult gryphon was stunned silent. He was nudged from behind but wasn’t moving, until he felt a tongue against the underside of his sheath. He squawked in a very birdlike way in his surprise and leapt to the center of the circle of attention.

A wing wrapped around his left foreleg and lifted it into the air. “Let’s hear it for the Filly Saver!”

The small room vibrated and light fixtures wobbled at the round of stomping while his ears rang from the cheering.

“Danka, everyone,” there was a sudden hiss of hushing around the room, “I did, only what was right. Anyone should do the same to any creature that does such vile acts.”

There was a hesitant pause after his short speech before a slow stomp started a gentle round of agreement rather than the cheer for a hero. “Gerald,” the guard said and bowed to him, “you are right, and I will write a letter to my cousin in Baltimare, telling him of what you’ve done and about this rape cult out there.”

“Me too! Let’s bring it to light and stop them.” “Yes, I’ve got a brother in Mustangia that’d get the news out.” “There’s this mare I know in Ponyville that talks about everything to everypony!”
“I concur, it’s the proper thing to do, after all.” “A gryphon named Gabby is due to deliver mail in two days, I’ll get the word to the capital city and North Haven by the end of the week.”

The sounds of creatures talking about continuing what he started got his attention so much, Gerald didn’t notice until it was too late that Sapphire was there until her leapt into his chest and nuzzled into his feathers with a content hum. The crowd turned into jubilation at the reunion of gryphon and pony, their hug was as gentle and full of love that even the emotionally hardened gryphons hiding in the back of the crowd smiled.

Sapphire turned to the crowd and waved happily. “Hi, I’m Sapphire,” the room fell silent, waiting for the mare to speak.

“Thank you for being here! You’re so pretty and happy, I hope I can be bestest friends to you all! I’m supposed ta talk about my feeling because Mellow said, and Papa says talking is best to fix hurts inside. It’s true, cuz me ‘n Papa cried some times about what happened; then we feel better!

“My Papa told me that when I come to town I would make friends, and I have a bestest friend, who’s with the nurses gettin’ fixed,” she pouted at the thought, “but Mister Sub,” she pointed at the guard stallion that Gerald had walked into the room hearing.

“Substitute,” he replied earnestly to the sound of giggles and a slightly hungry look from Sapphire.

“Substitute told me that I was safe and did a good job saving Mellow. Anywhere I wanna stay in town, he’d get me home, even though I live in the cave with Papa, I might think about it. My last Master, he bought me long time ago like lots of my friends I maked when I was tied in the stables in the dark.

“He was bad Master, small cock and cum to fast, didn’t know me or want to. He really hurt my friend and tied her with bad rope, didn’t give her food and only fed me cock,” she stuck out her tongue as the crowd listened, eyes glistening as she spoke and some started to quietly cry. He kept me and my bestest friend Mellow in the dark, said Mellow was next to be his.

“He didn’t know it, but I’m a smart mare. My Papa teached me to not be Slave, even though I pretended to be to keep Mellow safe from Bad Master. When he went to sleep after before bed release, I took Mellow out and now I’m here! Papa did something bad to Bad Master, but it’s okay, because I love Papa and he loves me,” she hugged Gerald and he hugged her back. Sapphire took a step back to turn around before sitting in one of her favorite positions, with her Papa behind her covering her with the feeling of safety.

“Papa is right, I do nut need Master to be happy; I need me for be happy. I am not Slave, I am not pruh, uh, puppetry! I am my own mare, I am pegasus, I am Sapphire, and I am to be free. I wanna be a mommy, I wanna find my mommy and daddy, and sisters, and I wants to get a muffin with lots of estrus chocolates.”

Laughter broke through crying tears and bits were flashed, showing the bakery owner that most of the creatures were going to buy her a muffin, or anything else she wanted. It was one of the best days of Sapphire’s life, even if she didn’t really understand everything happening at the moment.
