To Love Your Torturer

Twilight Velvet hung gagged from the ceiling before her unconscious and brutalized son. She was swinging back and forth like a pendulum, as Chrysalis who was getting bored of waiting for her victim to wake up, laid on her back and gently kicked Velvet back and forth with her hind legs, while looking up in the air.

How could he still be unconscious, she'd been waiting for hours.

After a while, Chrysalis took pity on the crying pony she was swinging around and took her down from the chain. She was not associated with the Equestrian military, and Chrysalis knew this. She held this pony for the crimes of her son, and causing her pain was therefore not as enjoyable as doing it to Shining, but it could nonetheless turn out to be a necessity if she wanted to get information.

As she laid Twilight Velvet on the floor, she ungagged her and the motion sick pony grasped for air through her mouth.

"He's certainly letting us wait," said Chrysalis finally, bored as a queen can be.

"W-what did you do to him. What did you do to my child!?"

"Try not to think about it."

"How can you tell me that, when you bring me before him, and force me to watch him like this!? You ruined him!" said velvet in sorrow and anger, but as she heard her own words out loud she conceded her anger fully, and it all became sadness. "Please. Please, I'll let you do anything to me, just don't hurt him anymore. Don't hurt my child."

Chrysalis rolled her eyes...

"I'll stop hurting both of you the moment I get my information."

"How do you know he even knows what you're asking him!? Your torture could be futile."

"Incredibly unlikely."

"How much must I beg to make you stop this madness? What must I do to make you stop hurting my child?"

"You could shut up for starters. See how far that takes you."

"I know silence won't convince you of anything, Chrysalis. Please, please give me some way to set him free. I-I'm not good with pain, so I'm not sure how well I'll do on-on that t-thing," Velvet said nodding towards the rack her son was currently tied up to. "But if I can't somehow buy his freedom, let me at least trade places with him."

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," mumbled Chrysalis grumpily in response.

Twilight Velvet's sobbing turned audible again.

"Please-he-hee-heeese!" she cried out. "Show a little heart!"

"You know, I took out your gag so you could rest your jaw. Not so you could lecture me. Now do be silent! Cry if you must, but speak no more."

Realizing that the changeling queen was very much serious, she quit her pleading, and the only sounds she made for the remaining minutes before Shinings woke up were sobbing and sniffling.

Then, as her son slowly started to wake up, she immediately found herself once again hanging from a chain in the ceiling, with a gag in her mouth. Upside down this time.

As shining came about, he was greeted with the faint sound of his mother sobbing. She was trying to hold it back and appear strong, but she didn't manage. Then, as he opened his eye, and regained sight, he saw her, hanging there, tied up in her hind legs and spinning around like on some sort of mad theme park attraction.

"Stop that!" he shouted hoarsely to Chrysalis, whom he was sure was nearby. "Please, stop spinning her!"

Chrysalis complied with this demand and caught the rotating pony with her tail, as she walked into Shining's line of sight.

"My, my, aren't we grumpy? Didn't get enough sleep? I think you got plenty, we've been waiting for you for hours, now."

"Th-then please take her down! She can't handle so much blood in her head" pleaded shining, not knowing she just now put there.

"Only if you talk," replied Chrysalis nonchalantly, taking advantage of Shining's lack of knowledge on his mother's suffering.

"I still can't! It doesn't matter how much you torture us. It's not a matter of our willpower, it's a matter of what we believe is right!"

"Are you hearing yourself? Are you that detached from reality?"

Chrysalis gave Velvet a good spin and with regret in his heart, Shining closed his one eye in response.

"Look at her, or she gets it."

He promptly opened it again and watched his mother spin around while upside down. It disgusted him, but he had no reaction other than a quick shudder. He didn't want to give Chrysalis the satisfaction of showing off his sadness.

He didn't manage to hold this cold demeanor for long, though, as he soon broke down into more pleading.

“Please, If you let her go, I’ll worship you, and do anything you want except for telling you the information against Equestria, have fun with me instead. I'll be your toy for life. Torture me all you want!”

His mother cried even louder at that...

"That does sound like fun, Shining... However, I'm really mostly fishing for that exception," answered chrysalis as she levitated more heated rods out of the fire. "But you get to choose places. Aren't you a lucky boy? One for each. Choose yours," she continued, holding the heated metal close to Shining once more.

"M-my stomach" he stuttered.

"Oh no, that's not how this works. Choose an orifice."

"My mouth, then," he answered regretfully.

"And the one for your mother?" asked his torturer intrigued.

"Please, give it to me as well."

"No."

Seeing his mother like this, and hearing his torturer's simple and cold answer to his plea, Shining's fear was momentarily overtaken by anger.

"Okay, stick it up your ass then, you sadistic whore!" he practically shouted.

"And the two for your mother?" corrected Chrysalis.

"No, wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry," said Shining quickly realizing the mistake of his defiance. "Put it-put it in her left nostril," he continued, hating giving the command to his very core. He could tell his mother felt frightened, even though she tried not to show it.

"That's one of them. What about the other?"

"Please, please, give it to me. I know I was out of line. I just couldn't stand the thought of choosing my mother's torture. I was the one who insulted you, so please, punish me instead."

"Convince me to and make up for your insult. Praise me."

Shining gulped. He had to do great at this, and even if he did, he would just end up suffering even more.

“Please... my goddess... please, burn me anywhere you desire... I spoke out of turn and I deserve punishment, I will do anything to please you, and I beg for you to do what you wish to me... just don’t give it to her.”

"Praise me more."

“You... you’re gorgeous to start but for a queen of your position that is not important. You have a tight rule and don’t let others tell you what to do... you stab and torture with elegance but ferocity... but you are also forgiving, at least I hope you to be.”

Chrysalis stood for a moment, enjoying his compliance and her power over both of them. She smiled cruelly while waving the heated rods around in a threatening manner.

"Fine Shining, you get the two of them, but I'm not burning your mouth, I need you to talk after all."

"Th-that's fine my goddess, you can burn me anywhere you desire," answered Shining, simultaneously relieved that his mother would be saved from half the torture, and afraid that his own would be doubled.

Fear turned to pain as Chrysalis stuffed the rod up his ass.

He screamed in pain as he watched the changeling queen insert the heated metal into his mother's muzzle as well. She screamed through her gag, wiggling around in her bindings.

"STTTTOOOOOP!!" screamed Shining.

Chrysalis did not comply. Instead, she wondered where to put the next rod, and finding herself very indecisive, she just rubbed it around on his body, burning his fur and skin.

She laughed as her victims continued to both scream and struggle. She was having fun. She still found herself pitying Velvet as she was caught in the crossfire, but she was having fun nonetheless.

After a while, she removed the heated rods from the suffering ponies.

She found another rod from the fire, much wider than the other ones. It was at least two inches thick and Shining looked at it in horror is the queen held it up to his face.

"Now that I've stretched it a bit, don't you think, that with a little force, I can stuff this down your cock?" Chrysalis asked with sadistic glee, her smile of razor-sharp teeth going from ear to ear, and her snakelike tongue hanging out of her mouth.

Tears filled Shining's eyes, and he quietly and pathetically answered.

"No... please."

"No? Really? Wanna make a bet then. If I can't manage to fit it in, I let your mother go, but If I do manage, she has to take one of equal size up her urethra as well." She asked, chuckling lightly as she did.

Shining felt distraught and defeated, and he feared more than ever the torture he was about to undergo. He couldn't imagine anything as painful as that. Still, his thoughts were devoted to his mother. He could not let this cruel fate befall her as well.

"No, no, please. Don't do that. I-I'll try. I'll try to take it, and you can fit it, you can stick it elsewhere. You choose, anywhere. J-Just don't hurt her. Please."

He began to sob and blabber words without meaning, snot and tears pouring onto his face.

"Please?" he repeated in between his tears.

Chrysalis stood silently looking at him as he pleaded. She bit her lip. This felt weird to her. She liked seeing her torture victim act like this, but she also pitied him. At least a little bit.

"Then talk," she brought herself to answer.

This only made Shining cry more. He knew now that there was no way out of this. He could not comply with her demands.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I'm soree-hee."

"Last chance. Talk or I'll stretch your dick out further than your limbs, and your mom will be soon to follow!"

"I cahahaaan't," cried Shining.

"T-That woman you're torturing, she's an amazing pony. She's brave and loving and I can't bear to see her suffer. S-She means the world to me, but the world is not mine to give away..."

For a short moment, Chrysalis looked genuinely touched by her victim's words. This helped Shining find a bit of bravery within his misery.

"Go ahead and torture me. Maybe you'll get your information someday, I don't know, but if you keep hurting her, I'll shut down, I'll go insane."

He tried to present his genitals to his torturer. He tried to make hurting him easy, hoping it would save his mother.

"P-Please, stick it in. I'll try not to squirm too much. "

Chrysalis stood for a while, looking at the pained expression of the brave pony on the torture bench, giving himself up for the sake of his mother.

She moved the heated metal closer, and Shining closed his eye tightly and bit his lip, awaiting the horrible pain. What followed was the clinging sound of metal hitting the ground and Chrysalis sighing.

He opened his eyes slightly to see what was going on. Chrysalis was looking to the side in a somewhat sad manner, and his mom, thank Celestia, was gone from the chains, presumably back in her cell.

He didn't say a thing, believing that whatever words he chose, (Other than words that could lead to Equestria's destruction,) would only make it worse for him. Eventually, Chrysalis looked back at him, her expression seemingly calm, cold, and collected... But she was neither of that at the moment.

"Admitting that you have a breaking point was a good start, Shining. Now that we know you have it, why not spare yourself the suffering and just talk."

Teary-eyed and shivering, he slowly shook his head.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Please... Let me have a minute's break before we continue. That's all I ask."

Chrysalis looked untethered by this pathetic response, but the very next moment, she broke down in groaning.

"For fuck's sake, why do you insist on making this so difficult!" she uttered in clear, agonizing annoyance, her mane swinging wildly with her rapid head movement.

"I-I'm sorry... It's not my intention, but my principals weigh on me. I can't betray my people," Shining answered meekly, preparing himself for more crippling pain.

The Queen just sighed at that.

"Quit with the constant apologies... You already admitted that your strength isn't infinite. Just give up already... My patience is running low. I can be a lot crueler you know," she said squinting her glowing eyes.

Shining hated this. He hated he had to do this so much, but he had to take a moment to consider his options. He has to weigh his own misery against the lives of everypony else.

Tears were streaming down his cheeks, as they looked at each other, no more blood spilling for the time being.

"When you forcefully take a pony's love... W-what happens to them?" Shining finally asked.
