Chapter 3: The Escape

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

For the second time in as many days....at least I'm assuming that, I found myself running for my life, the snarls and threats being issued at me were off-putting, as they were accompanied by the merry laughter that followed, along with several requests to go easy on me.

"YOU PERVERTED HEATHEN! WITH OUR MOTHER?!", Eclipsa screeched, tearing down the corridor after me, her body gaining on me as she seemed to b-HOLY CRAP WERE THOSE WINGS?! These things have wings now?! "WE WILL TEACH YOU THE MEANING OF PAIN!" she cried out, her speed suddenly much greater as she almost had us in reach, before tripping over her own long legs, stumbling to the floor with a loud "oomph"

Slowing down for a quick second, I laughed at her own clumsiness, letting out a small quip, "Oh wow....as clumsy as you are crazy.....who WOULDN'T want that?", as I suddenly turn and ran off again, growls emanating from her form as she slowly picked herself up, having been embarassed enough for one day, she turned towards the nearest guard, "GUARD! Issue thine orders to all you see. Capture that Stallion, capture him and bring him to the dungeons.....concious is not required", she huffed as she stormed back towards the direction she ran from.

"Humans dear....he's not a stallion", Crescent said, embracing her daughter with a hug, even as Eclipsa grimaced at the sight of her mothers naked body being pressed against her. "And my hive, was he the best lay I've had in the longest of my life", she said, her wings buzzing gently, her arousal still almost palpable.

Blushing in both discomfort and curiosity, Eclipsa looked at her mother, "Mother.....surely thoust jest, no stallion.....or this human, can be that good, surely you must be mistaken", she said, looking down, secretly wondering if maybe she wasn't.

"Nay I am not child, he brought me to not just one, but several orgams, and was actually able to climax more then once....AND HE IS STILL RECOVERING! My child, imagine if he was at peak health! Oh I'm so happy you managed to find such a good mate, your mothers so happy for you.......jealous, but happy."

A horrified expression crept across Eclipsas face, even as her cheeks turned bright red. "M-M-MATE?! MOTHER! HE ATTACKED ME! MOLESTED ME! I......IT WAS MY FIRST TIME BEING TOUCHED LIKE THAT!", she cried out, exasperated at her mothers seemingly care-free attitude, as she pouted, stomping a hoof onto the marble flooring.

"Oh hush now dear....quit being such a child, you're a QUEEN for goodness sakes", she said, clicking her tongue in disapproval at her daughter. "Besides...you KNOW what happens to us Queens when we retire, it's not like I could've stopped myself, even if I had wanted to, which I certainly did not.....Also stop with all this royalty like tone of voice, it's annoying, I never taught you that, and your father certainly never spoke like that. Honestly, I have no idea where you picked up such an annoying habit..."

"You....I.....UGGGHHH!!!", Eclipsa said, storming off, a tantrum brewing in her the likes of which the hive would most likely suffer for days, Crescent thought to herself, as she watched her daughter leave, presumably to either return to the throne room, or to her own room to scream and pout.

"HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUT OF HERE?!", I screamed to myself as I leapt between the legs of one of the guards that had found and begun chasing me, twirling around a second, and weaving past a third. "I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!", I shouted out loud, turning back to see the guards right on my tail Various forms of lewdness being shown through their expressions. My god, one of them had actually stopped and started to masturbate, the others quickly leaving her behind as they continued chasing me. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF CHRIST HAVE I BEEN DRAGGED INTO?!", I said as I spotted a window in the distance.

Putting on a last minute burst of speed, I rammed into the window, story of my freakin life that is, as I fell outside, the rocks doing next to nothing for cushioning my fall as I stumbled through the broken glass, stepping on several pieces of broken shards as I hightailed it into the darkness, quickly leaving the guards behind, as they struggled, strangely enough, to all try and fit through the same window at once, their bodies squishing together in all together not an unpleasant way. However, instead of admiring it like an idiot, I proceeded to run like a bat out of hell, until I was eventually completely surrounded by darkness.

Shuffling further, I was thankful my arm had not started bleeding again as I tried to take inventory, feeling myself for any painful twitches as I ran my hands up and down. "Ok....I have my underwear....somehow still, my charm....and one sock.....great, just what any aspiring runaway needs", I muttered in annoyance, grumbling out a curse as I stubbed my foot against a rock, kicking it again out of anger, only to have the tables turn on me as now BOTH my feet hurt. "Son of a god damn whore....why is it so dark in here?", I said, as I smacked something hard aside.

Turning to walk away, I suddenly turned back as I heard the thing I hit smack against a wall, then suddenly erupt into a soft off yellow glow, as beams of light came out from holes in the rock. Walking hesitantly over, looking back and forth around, I walked over to the rock, picking it up again and smack it against the wall again, letting more light out, as the area around me was bathed in the off color glow of the light, which was emnating from the gems inside. "Ok.....so, floating rocks hiding crystal gems......that's normal", I said, quickling shaking my head at it, as it was FAR from the weirdest thing to happen to me today.

Turning back, I used the crystals to light the way, seeing a small, but steady path leading upwards as I walked quickly, stopping every so often to listen for foot-steps, hoping that those guards wouldn't catch up to me. Continuing my trek forward and up, I began to notice more and more floating rocks, some as smell as pebbles, while others seem the size of melons. "What kind of place is this? This is getting just downright bizarre....", I said as I began to see a faint glimmer in the distance, light filtering in as I began to stumble faster towards it.

"Alright....the sooner I get to the surface, the sooner I can figure out where I am and get h-h-HOW IN THE EVERLOVING FUCKING HELL DID I END UP HERE?!", I screamed into the inky black sky as I emerged onto the surface of the moon, the Earth slowly rotating off in the distance, a bright ball of both blue and green, with splotches of brown and white here and there. "Wait, I'm on the moon.....but all this time we've been on the moon? But I'm not suffocating....can humans actually breathe up here?...God this is freaky", I said as I stumbled around, beginning to shiver from the cold temperature, a huge difference from the empty, but warm feeling the caverns and dweling I had just escaped from had contained.

Walking around, my teeth chattering in my head, I spot a figure in the distance, "Oh thank god....maybe it's an astronaut, maybe they can help me figure out how I got up heeee-shit!", I said, suddenly hiding behind a rock as I finally got a good look at the creature. Dwarving even Eclipsa and her mother Crescent, the midnight black figure was decked out in what could only be described as straight up medeival armor from head to toe. Her hair....or what I could only assume was her hair, billowed about as she cackled maniaclly, her wings jutting out as she took a step towards a bright glowing portal of orange light.

"FINALLY! It took us neigh a thousand years, but we finally have broken the barrier......Equestria prepare thyself....THY QUEEN OF DARKNESS HAS RETURNED!", the creature said as she coughed slightly, before looking around hesitantly, suddenly, as if she was afraid someone would see her. "Ohboyohboyohboy, I can't wait to get back home. First thing I do after defeating Celestia is take a nice long HOT bath, then eat all the foods I've missed....eeeeeeee! I can't wait!", she squealed, like a school girl, before straightening up, walking slowly towards the portal.

As she stepped halfway into the portal, a sudden flurry of noise took hold behind me, as I slowly turned to look, my fears being made into reality as I saw dozens, if not hundreds of guards just SPEW out of the craters around me, Crescent, and behind her, her mother Eclipsa, following suit, as they all hovered around me, seemingly paying no mind to the figure in the distance that was walking into the light

"FINALLY PERVERT! WE HAVE FOUND THEE! AND NOW THAT WE HAVE.....WE ARE GOING TO DRAG THI-OW! MOTHER!", the queen remarked, looking at Eclipsa

"What did I say about the language dear? Speak NORMALLY!", her mother gestured, exasperated at her daughters behavior. "We literally JUST HAD this conversation, how can a queen be so forgettably stupid sometimes? I swear, my daughters going to cause me early wrinkles at this level."

Taking advantage of the momentary lack in concentration on me, as the guards watched the two women argue, I made a mad dash for the figure in the distance, thinking that anywhere but here would be better. Running once more at full speed, or as near it as I could manage, sweat blinding my eyes, I stumbled as I fell into the back of the tall figure, her figure giving out a small yelp, as we became tangled together.

Giving off a small faint glow, the charm around my neck slowly blinked, as the figure, now entangled with me, extricated herself from my body, lifting me up as she glared at me, "HOW DARE THEE THINE PEASANT! THOU SHOULDST BE HANGED FOR TOUCHING ROYALTY!", she shouted, her voice near deafening my ear drums.

"Look lady", I said, satisfactorily annoyed at this point, "Up until this moment, I've been attacked, stabbed, knocked unconcious, raped, chased, and almost caught by an army of perverted black bug women....Either do what you're going to do, or bugger the fuck off", I said as I glared at her.

"B-B-BUGGER?.....WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE WORDS THY USE, BUT THINE TONE IS MOST INSOLENT! FEEL THE WRATH OF THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS!", she said as she slapped me full force across the face, my body oddly feeling very little pain as I flew away from her, splashing into the orange light surrounding us in the tunnel of energy.

As my body slowly faded into the energy, my eyes closing as I felt strangely warm and comfortable suddenly, I saw the figure before me shift her wings, before turning away from me, and speeding the rest of the way along, before disappearing into the distance.

My eyes struggling to stay open as I felt sleep seem to wrap around me, I paid no attention to the now rapid blinking my charm was giving off as a I finally gave up, my eyes closing as a cacoon of dark energy surrounded my body, propelling me thru the electrifying currents of the orange energy.
*DREAM*

"Common sonny.....there wasn't anything you could've down", my grandfather said....well, technically my great-grandfather, but he sometimes acted young enough to be my grandfather still.

"B-B-BUT PAPA!", I sobbed, the police handing my grandfather a towel for me and a cup of hot cocoa as he hurried away, giving us some privary the best he could.

"No butts now little one.....", he said, wrapping me in a bear hug, "The man was clearly off his caboose, you're just a kid, what COULD you have done?", he said, tears beginning to stream down his face as well.

In the background, several cop cars, surrounding my house milled about, their lights flashing as an ambulance slowly wheeled out two gurnies, the bodies on them covered with blankets, as they wheeled them into the vehicle.

The man that called himself my father, thrashing about in the backseat of a squad car, spittle and phlegm flinging everywhere as he struggled in the backseat, his eyes raging at me thru the window.

"Um sir.....pardon me for interrupting, but will you be taking the kid home with you to your home?", the chief asked, nervously looking down as he seemed afraid to meet us in the eyes.

"Y-yes.....I will, after what happened to my daughter and her daughter.....I'll.....I'll make sure to keep this little guy close to me", my papa said, hugging me again as I had all but devolved into sobbing fits at this point, curling into the blanket in the briefest of hopes that this was all just a bad dream.

"V-very good sir", the chief said, looking him in the eyes finally as he gave a small nod, as if answering an unsaid question. "Don't worry sir.....the bastard will pay, I don't think any judge in the entire state will let him walk away from this."

As the chief and my papa talked with each other further, my thoughts focused on the man formerly known as my father, thinking of all the hurtful things he had done....to think that he would suffer himself, I merely nodded, a grim smile making its way onto my face, as I quietly whispered, "Good....", before grief overtook me again, as I eventually drifted off to sleep in the back of my grandfathers car as he took off on the long drive back to his home.

*END OF DREAM*

Popping out thru the other side, my body, now free-falling in the air, crashed into a wall, smashing thru it as I landed on the ground with a loud banging thud.

*UNKNOWN LOCATION*

A small child, peering thru a telescope at the nightsky, spied the bright black object as it sailed along, disappearing into the distance as she gasped, before running to tell her parents about the Black Comet that had just been spotted.

*CURRENT LOCATION*

Panning over, I slowly struggled to open my eyes, noticing the hole in the wall I came thru, I looked myself over once more, amazed and astonished as to how my body seemingly suffered no damage at all in the resulting crash.

Stumbling my way to my feet, I looked around the room I was in, "Ok.....bookshelves....dusty old books, statues everywhere....I guess it's safe to say I'm not in Kansas anymore", I muttered as stared up at the hole I had come thru. "How the hell did I manage that and not hurt myself?", I said as I noticed pillows thrown on the ground and some old tapestries hanging from the ceiling and walls. "Brrrrr, ok, it's still pretty cold here, I'm sure one won't hurt, better then freezing to death, that's for sure", I chattered thru my shivering as I quickly tore down one of the larger tapestries, tying it around myself like a poncho as I grabbed a burning torch from the corner.

"Now then......where the hell am I?", I said as I waved the torch over towards the nearest sections of books. Staring at a few of them, most having lost all legibility to the passage of time, I spied one that seemed rather readable. Peering it at, I slowly made out the words on the spine. "Tales.....of Equestrian Legend........The Ancient Lords?", I mumbled, barely able to make out much else beyond that as the torch dimmly flickered from a passing gust of air. "What the hell kind of library is this?.....Where am I? Am I even still on Earth?.....Oh shit, were those things aliens?! WAS I ABDUCTED?!", beginning to worry myself, I slowly took a deep breath, trying my best to prevent myself from hyperventilating. "Either way, I managed to escape them, more or less.......

"Well....only one way to find out Toto", I said to no one in particularly, as I left the books behind, walking into the long hallway, as I began my search for answers....and a way out of this seemingly abandoned castle.
