The Baying Moon
Chapter 10: A Dance with the Devil
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIf the Diamond Dogs had one good trait about them, and from Moondancer’s point of view it was pretty much literally only one, it was that they were warm. Cuddled up on her doggy bed in the corner with her were five dog — Rover, Fido, and Spot as well as two guards whose names she didn’t know. Lassie snored from her post out the cell and Bewlay had run off whimpering last night after he licked her face for a couple of minutes mumbling ‘sorry’ repeatedly. All the other dogs who’d been there had returned to mining as far she could guess.
Moondancer laid in silence, enjoying the few precious moments of her day where she wasn’t being tormented and her mind could piece itself back together. ‘Yesterday… I’m losing it down here. I asked him to cum on my feet.’ Moondancer scrunched them, dried semen crackled along the wrinkles, she flinched. ‘So gross.’ She cupped her crotch. ‘Even flaccid these stupid rings won’t come off.’
‘Morning Roast has to have reported me missing by now, and if not her First Folio should have noticed I haven’t been at the library. Even then, not like anypony’ll ever find me down here.’ Moondancer sighed. ‘I miss so many ponies: Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Honey Lemon, even Twi’s annoying friend Pinkie.’
Moondancer took a calming breath. ‘I am not spending the rest of my life down her as some foot fetish obsessed dog’s pet. I will outsmart them and Nightshade. I will escape and warn Twi and the others about these freaks coming after them. And Celestia as my witness, I! Will! Cum!’ She clasped her fist pumping them. Spot stirred, his eyelid peering open looking right at her. ‘Oh shi--’
“Hi Nerd Pony” Spot yawned. He stretched his limb kicking a guard in the head and thumping into Rover’s side.
All the dogs fumbled about waking up. ‘And the torture starts again.’ Rover stood up and cracked his back. He bent down and ruffled Moondancer’s mane.
“Pet is super comfy.” Rover said with glee. “You ready for breakfast and walkies?”
Moondancer nodded while rolling her eyes. Rover attached the lead to her new bejeweled namesake-esque collar. ‘This would almost be sweet if it weren’t a Celestia-damn dog collar.’ Rover gestured to the door. Moondancer started crawling next to him not waiting for a tug. Lassie opened the cell door and pulled the hinges from the wall as other dogs packed up the room to move everything to an untapped section of the mine.

Rover swung the stocks closed and locked them. The excited dog skipped the lengthy process of strapping her all the way down instead he opted to only buckle her wrists to the armrest. Moondancer stretched out and clenched her feet to flake off the residual dried cum. ‘He’d better freaking wash my feet.’ Rover dropped his pants and angled his erection at Moondancer’s soles.
“Are you serious!?” Moondancer fumed.
“Huh? What’s wro--”
“You’re not cumming on my feet again!”
“But yesterday you--”
“Yesterday was a mistake! This whole kidnapping has been a giant one.”
Rover whimpered and tugged his shorts back up.
“Now you can start by cleaning your mess off my feet! It’s disgusting you’d think that cumming on them was okay…” Moondancer paused, “Without cleaning them off.” She blushed hard and chewed on her sweater. ‘I do NOT need this to become my new fetish. Luna only knows I have enough… Wait Luna can see ponies dreams… Wow I never realized how factual that idiom probably is.’
A pair of hands gripped Moondancer by her shoulders. “Come again?”
Moondancer shrieked and her heart smacked against her ribs while Rover jumped with a squeal and almost bashed his head into the ceiling.
Moondancer winched as fingers gouged into her shoulders. Nightshade’s head sliced thought the air over one like a shark stalking through water. She did not turn her head, glance at Moondancer, or even blink. Her eyes bore into Rover who looked ready to wet himself. “I’m sorry, who did you say came? Because I don’t remember giving anyone, pony or dog, permission to.”
The frightened mutt tensed his shoulders and pointed at Nightshade. “H-hey! I d-don’t need your permission...”
Nightshade didn’t interrupt or change her expression. The rest of Rover’s augment died in his throat. Ears folded forward he bowed his head down to match.
“Corner. Sit.” Nightshade snapped her fingers and pointed.
Rover darted into a corner in front of Moondancer and Nightshade; he sat down and turned his head back towards them.
“Nose against the wall!” Nightshade barked.
Rover yipped and mashed his snout into the bedrock. Nightshade relaxed her grip on Moondancer’s shoulders but pinched her muzzle instead. Her head still facing forward Nightshade’s eye darted towards Moondancer and glared like a jaguar.
“I bet Rover made you feel like the prettiest star in the sky, didn’t he?”
Moondancer shook her head terrified.
“No? So you’d never let me down by cumming without permission, would you Moonstone?” Her icy tone froze Moondancer’s blood. Nightshade thumbed the jewels on Moondancer’s new collar. The strap of leather felt as if it’d shrunk two sizes.
Moondancer trembled and shook her head again.
“Good girl.” Nightshade pulled away.
Moondancer breathed a sigh of relief. Nightshade trotted around the chair, her fingers glided down Moondancer’s body, in her other hand she carried a black suitcase. She dropped it in front of the stocks and bent down inspecting Moondancer’s cum-caked soles. The unicorn’s stolen pair of red Converse still hung over the pegasus’s shoulders. Nightshade pried back Moondancer’s big toes and equipped the toe straps dangling from the stocks.
“Unbelievable.” She let out an exacerbated sigh. “I guess I’ll have to whip these back into shape.”
“That was a metaphor and not a pun, right.” Moondancer said eyes wide.
Seemingly out of thin air, Nightshade lifted up a crop for Moondancer to see. The unicorn’s heart skipped a beat.
“Since you asked~”
“You can’t do this!”
“I can’t? Don’t make me laugh.” Nightshade wiggled an eyebrow emphasizing the last word. Nightshade threw her arm over her head and lined up her shot. She waited and watched the word ‘no’ form on Moondancer’s lips and--
The crop hurtled down like a lightning bolt and struck the center of Moondancer’s left foot. The unicorn bellowed out an unholy scream. The dried strings of semen shattered apart like icing on a freshly bitten donut. Nightshade ripped her arm back up and whipped the right foot. Moondancer screeched again, like a banshee in the night. In the corner Rover held down his ears and whimpered from the cacophonous screams.
“Music to my ears~” Cooed Nightshade. “Maybe I should let the dogs paint your feet every night if cleaning them is this fun.”
Nightshade prodded Moondancer’s soles with the flog of the crop, bits of Rover’s cum flaked off.
“NO! PLEASE! Tickle me! For the love of Celestia tickle my feet instead.”
“Aww, come on. What happened to all your rebel, rebel?” Nightshade mocked. She kneaded the crop into Moondancer’s stinging soles. “Besides, I harbor no love for Celestia, so that’s not a real effective plea. Buuuuuut, since I like your whole geek flare Moonshine, maybe I can let you off with just those two warning pats.”
Moondancer’s flustered sweating face nodded with rapid glee. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“I’m such a softy! Honestly, it’s my biggest character flaw.” Nightshade lulled her head back wistfully.
“Pffft.” Moondancer sorted unable to contain her sarcastic outburst. She winced expecting Nightshade to blow up at her.
“Don’t believe me?” Nightshade asked with no malice.
Nightshade lifted the toe-ties off of Moondancer’s feet, unlocked the padlock on the stocks, and lifted them open. Moondancer cautiously lifted her feet out and set them on the dirt floor. Nightshade dropped Moondancer’s high-tops on the mare’s lap and freed her wrist.
“Let’s dance!”
“Wha…?”
“Put on your red shoes, dance with me, and I’ll prove to you that I have a soft side. At least when it comes to subby lil’ mares.”
Moondancer looked around the room for the hidden cameras or anything that could explain Nightshade’s mood shift, she found nothing. ‘She’s actually just a crazy pony.’ Moondancer caressed her sneakers. They weighed heavily in her arms. ‘Safe… I’d forgotten what these even felt like.’ She smiled gently.
Nightshade leaned against the chair with her arms crossed smiling at Moondancer and wait for her.
‘Even if this is a trick, I’m not passing up on the chance to have shoes on again!’ Moondancer thought. Socks lost in the first cave Moondancer didn’t bother asking about them and slipped her sneakers on. She doubled knotted the laces as if that would prevent them from being taken again.
Nightshade offered a hand and helped Moondancer stand up. Moondancer felt taller than ever before. The pegasus wrapped an arm around the dorky mare’s waist and pulled her close. Nightshade led, she moved them to music playing only in her head. The Shadowbolt’s suit squrrrked with every step as they danced around the room.
This was the longest Moondancer had been on her feet since her capture and they felt odd doing their job again. Her shoes were a bit stuffy without socks on but she didn’t mind. Moondancer liked the feeling of something pressed protectively against her overly sensitive soles and wiggled her toes inside. ‘These feel… smaller? I’ve gone too long without them.’ Nightshade lifted her arm up and pirouetted her partner in place. She dipped Moondancer down supporting her by her waist. Moondancer was given an upside down look at Rover still in the corner trying to move his head to watch while still keeping his nose against the wall. Nightshade pulled Moondancer back up and locked eyes with her, there muzzles almost touching. Moondancer blushed hard looking up at the pegasus.
“Come on Moonrise, shake it!” Nightshade grooved in place.
“I’ve haven’t really danced all that much despite my name. …Are you only doing this to make fun of it?”
“No.” Nightshade assured her. “I guess you could say I’m mooning over you.”
Nightshade spurt out a laugh and snorted at her own lame joke. Moondancer giggled too at the whole surreal moment. Nightshade pressed her lips against Moondancer’s. The unicorn melted under the soft kiss needing Nightshade to support her weight. Moondancer could taste the metal as Nightshade’s pierced tongue darted into her mouth.
“Open the cell door and scram.” Nightshade called out to Lassie.
Confused, but not dumb enough to question the shiny scary pegasus, Lassie pulled the door open and wondered off.
“Here’s the deal my lil’ Princess Nerd.” Nightshade lifted Moondancer’s chin and stared longingly into her eyes. “You can leave now, run out the door, and go home, I won’t let any of the dogs chase you.”
Moondancer turned her head to the opened pathway to freedom.
“Or, you can stay.” Nightshade stroked Moondancer’s cheek and turned her gaze back.
“… I would be your slave.”
“You’d be my broken lil’ tickle pet. The Diamond Dogs and I will make every single day a kinky torturous experience as your feet are tickled and pampered endlessly. Although, there might be a promotion for you in the near future, I have… an idea or two. What do you say?” Nightshade let go of Moondancer and took a step back.
Moondancer bolted to the door. Outside the cell she glanced over her shoulder, Nightshade hadn’t moved. Her head turned back around and she ran towards the nearest tunnel--
Moondancer exploded out in laughter and tumbled to the ground. She screamed and rolled around in the dirt. Her fist beat against the floor, her tail whipped cracking the air, and her legs bent up to her chest but sprung out again with another boisterous laugh. A wave of magic burst from her horn and gems inside the wall lit up. Her hands flailed at her feet. Her fingers grasped the loop of one of her sneaker’s laces, but the double knot held fast and another kick tore them from her grasp. Nightmarish whirling and clacking sounds emanated from her shoes.
“MAHAHAKE ITTTT S-STOP! MAHAHAHAKE IT STAHAHAHAHAHAHAOP! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHASE!!!”
Nightshade strolled over to the thrashing unicorn, she tucked a small remote control inside the top of her boot.
“You had me worried there for a second.” She said sarcastically. “I can’t tell you how happy I am you’ve decide to stay with us, forever~”
Another gem finding spell discharged from Moondancer’s horn. It was the most powerful yet lighting up buried gems several caverns over. Diamond Dogs rushed around digging up gems in front of them.
“Was it your modded sneakers that convinced you? I know a Roo who just loves tormenting pony feet and he did a rush job on these just for you. You should thank him; after all he’s the one who gave me the tickle torture idea in the first place.”
Nightshade grabbed each of the unicorn’s twitching ankles. She dragged the facedown mare back into her cell. Moondancer fingers left a trail of claw marks in their wake. Tears welled up in her eyes and she howled with more and more endless laughter.
