Marble awoke to a sounds of an argument. It was nothing new at this point. Now stuck inside due to the cold weather, everyone seemed to be getting a bad case of cabin fever. But it wasn't just that though, it seemed like some of her family had other issues on top that were finally getting spilled over now. She had tried to talk to her sister about it in the past. But Limestone was always abrasive. Never expected her mother to be the same but she too seemed on edge as well. With her dad being gone, having to take care of some business up north that will have him gone for the next month or so and the rest of her family having struck out into the world, that just left Marble alone with them.

The quiet rock famer let out a small sigh as the sounds of a door slamming told her that the argument had finally ended and it was ok for her to get up finally. She stretched out a bit before reaching over and checking the clock. 9:00AM. She sighed again. Normally she would be awake already but with winter being particularly colder than usual and a recent ice storm, that left the Pie family with little choice but to stay indoors.

At this point though, her house was beginning to feel like a prison. Deciding to stay behind and work on her family's farm, despite being an adult at this point, seemed like the easy choice. Everyone in her family was now grown up and able to move onto bigger better things should they choose to, but Marble and Limestone chose to keep the family farm going. Being 20 years old and single though was not how she saw things going, but after losing her chance with someone she thought perhaps might be worth working toward, Marble had almost given up on finding anyone to keep her warm at night.

The disgruntled farmer stood up and threw on a shirt before slipping into overalls. Her C cup breasts bouncing a bit as she put on the straps. She then checked the mirror to make sure her long hair looked alright. No bed head it seemed though a reminder of just how pale she looked was not a fun sight. Sure, no one expects to go out much in winter... But surely one would not look at pale as she did. Marble rolled her eyes at her reflection, just another day on the farm. Just gotta hope spring comes soon so she stop looking like the dead. She ran a brush through her silver hair a few times just to be safe.

Reaching down into her sock drawer revealed to her some cozy warm socks. After slipping those on, she finally decided to go out and see what the damage was from the battle that had just taken place.

Quietly, she opened the door and looked across to see Limestone's room. Now that everyone had left, the sisters found themselves with their own rooms. Marble missed sleeping next to her sisters but Limestone reveled in the fact she finally had her own room now. Seeing that her door was closed, Marble considered maybe asking her sister if she was alright. But knowing her... Might be better to stay away for a bit. As abrasive as she was, she never knew her sister to be this angry all the time. Sure she can come off as a grouch sometimes, but usually she managed to show a soft side around her family members when it was just them. For whatever reason, lately she just seemed so angry all the time.

Marble slipped out and quietly tip toed down the hallway, working her way down the stairs and turning left into the kitchen. Only to find it empty. It seemed her mom was also currently in her room. A single wooden door that lay just beyond the kitchen. Marble felt a pang of sadness as she realized she would be eating breakfast alone... Again.

There it is. That disconnect. The feeling of loneliness. With how everything had been going lately, Marble felt her fists tighten slightly. She was tired on feeling like this. She needed to get out of the house soon, cold be damned.

Marble noticed some pancakes on the table and note. After grabbing one and putting it onto a plate, she grabbed a fork and a knife before drowning the thing in syrup. As she dug into into in, slowly cutting off a piece and taking a bite, she read over the note.

"Sorry to eat and run Marble but I seem to have found myself in need of some alone time. Your sister seems to be acting out again and hit a sore spot... Perhaps you should find something to help pass the time. Your father recently uncovered a cave just before the cold started so no one has explored it yet. Now that those darned blizzards has subsided and it looks to be clear today, perhaps today is the day to take a look. It may be rich in some good rock so if you are feeling bored, perhaps some forward knowledge would do us all well. Just make sure to wear your boots and bring a good coat. And be careful. Its right next to the old windmill. Good luck.
Wishing you the best
Mom"

Marble continued to chew on her pancake as she re-read over the note. She glanced at the door and sighed. She sometimes hated how reserved her mom can get at times. When they were younger she could remember her being more spry and full of adventure. Pinkie did a good job of helping to bring that out. Her mom would try to hide behind her façade of being reserved but she did a bad job at it. She would have jumped at the chance of exploring a cave with her kin. Now she's only interested if there happens to be some good rock in there. She has now taken the form of the thing she used to pretend to be.

Still though, she glanced back at the letter. "A new cave? Surprised no one had mentioned it sooner. Then again, things have been a bit uneasy around here lately. May have just slipped everyone's minds. Well at least it has got to be warmer in there than outside. And it would get me out of the house finally. Maybe something worth finding might be down there too?"

Marble took another large bite and glanced outside. The wind had picked up but it was still clear out. Although the ground was covered in snow and ice, she should be able to navigate her way over there easy enough. Another few bites and the last of the pancake disappeared into her mouth, she felt a bit of hope well up inside. She took a quick sip of orange juice, having found the jug on the table, now a bit warm but she made sure to put it back in the fridge.

With her breakfast now finished, Marble felt a smile creep across her face for the first time in weeks. Running over to the front door, she quickly grabbed her bag, threw in a water bottle, some snacks and a flashlight. She then slipped into her snow boots, grabbed her winter coat, pulled the hood up over her head and quickly threw open the door. A blast of cold hit her like a truck and she considered maybe going back up to her room right there and then. But after everything, with all the back and forth arguing between her mom and Limestone, Marble knew she needed to get out of here. Even just for a bit.

***

The cave was easy enough to find and Marble was glad that once inside, the wind could no longer be felt or heard. It was just her thoughts and the occasional dripping of water. The cave itself was very wide and at least tall enough for her to not have to worry about hitting her head. She probably could have brought her sister along, could have had her standing right beside her and still would have had some room. But with how Lime was right now, she doubted she would be able to get her out of the house. Not without something worth bringing her too. A quiet cave would do little to convince her.

As the cave sloped downwards more, Marble felt the cold slowly leave with each step. She did her best to shine the flashlight as far as it would go, surprised as she swore she saw something wafting across the ceiling. It almost looked like steam.

Turning a corner, Marble almost dropped her flashlight in surprise. Her eyes had to adjust as the room was lit by blue soft glowing rocks. Taking a few steps into the room showed the ceiling was much higher and had plenty of space. The center piece was a large pool of water. The air seemed warmer than it should be, almost like she were sitting in a sauna. Some strange red formation sat just behind it.

Marble whistled at the sight. This might actually get her sister interested. Stepping closer to the pool, she carefully kneeled down and placed a finger into the water. To her surprise, it was super warm. Now even more interested, Marble quickly pulled off her boots and socks. Rolling up her pant leggings a bit, she soon sat down and carefully dipped her feet in.

It was almost like putting her feet into the warmest bath she had ever felt. The water felt incredible, especially with how cold it has been. Sure they had running water and it wasn't exactly cold when she would go to take a bath... But it wasn't this warm either.

Marble glanced around. "I am alone... Surely I could just..."

The young woman quickly made up her mind. She removed her coat. Then came the straps and soon her overalls were being pushed downwards. Her shirt was quickly tossed onto the growing pile and finally came the bra and panties.

Now completely naked, Marble slipped into the water and almost felt her soul leave her body. It felt incredible. The warm water seemed to caress every part of her as she slipped into the water up to her neck. She sat there with her bare back against the wall of the pool, letting out a slow sigh as she felt all her worries wash away in an instant.

Well most of them anyways. There was still that feeling of family drama nagging somewhere in the back of her mind but she could let that wait for now. Though her thoughts did turn to wonder what life would be like if she had someone, someone to give her some company and make her feel alright again... But she was slowly able to push that back too. All that mattered was that the winter weather outside no longer mattered. She now had her own private bath to use whenever she wanted. This hot spring was truly something else.

She sighed and blinked, suddenly noticing that there was something strange about the rock formation. She hadn't noticed it at first because it wasn't being covered by the glow of the rocks but there was actually something back there. It almost looked like some kind of plant. Like a big red flower with green tips, but with red vines coming off of it. The petals were almost as big as she was. So many vines seemed to coming from it. Come to think of it, was there always a red vine casually hanging off to the right of her?

Come to think of it, there was another to her left as well.

Marble carefully raised her hand and touched the red vine. It was surprisingly warm and felt thick. I was super smooth and seemed to twitch slightly at her touch. It almost felt fully alive.

Marble watched in quiet fascination and slight terror as the vine moved on its own, its tip raising its to her eye level. "You are alive." She said softly with a bit of a tremor in her voice.

The vine... No that wasn't right. More tentacle like than anything else. The tentacle seemed to be slowly examining her. It wasn't hostile yet and for some reason, Marble found the thing to be more curious than anything else. The other tentacle had now raised itself up on her left and was poking at her shoulder. The right one was slowly dragging itself down her arm. Marble shivered at the touch but couldn't help but continue to watch in fascination. It then nudged her face, almost as if it were greeting her in some way.

"What are you?" She whispered. The thing remained quiet as ever, only continuing to poke or slightly move across her body. A gentle touch. It actually felt slightly comforting for some reason. Like it was trying to calm her down. Two more tentacles showed up from behind her and began slowly caress her shoulders, almost like they were asking for permission.

Marble nodded her head, still unsure about this situation but couldn't help but marvel at the creatures touch. It was the most contact she had had with anyone or anything in a long time.

The two tentacles at her shoulders moved and slightly gripped her shoulders by bending into a sort of "C" shape. They then slowly tightened and loosened themselves against her bare skin. Marble felt a knot slowly unwind and quickly realized this thing was massaging her. She couldn't believe what she was feeling. This thing was actually taking care of her.

Two more appeared in the water. They seemed to be waiting on something as their tips drooped just outside of the water, shaking slightly. Marble gave a nod to them, unsure why but it really felt like they were waiting on the go ahead.

The two dropped down and began to slowly grip and rub up and down her legs. Marble let out a low moan. She had never felt anything release so much tension before. It was incredible. Marble soon only found herself craving more.

"I don't know what you are but... I really appreciate what you are trying to do." She said in a low voice.

The ones around her legs began to work around her feet, pushing and pulling against them as she felt her worries begin to work themselves out of her system. Two more tentacles joined the mix. They slowly pushed and rubbed against her bare back, moving in slowly in small circles. She sighed in content. This was something she never knew she needed until it happened.

Four more joined, two hooking beneath her shoulders and the others two around her ankles as she was slowly lifted into the air over the steamy water. A bit of her felt worried only to be replaced with warm relief as the tentacles continued to massage her body, feeling them working all over her arms, legs, back and even gently around her neck. This feeling of love and care was something she had always dreamed of.

To feel the warmth touch of another and to finally be able to fully relax. Her eyes drifted over to the giant red flower, amazed at how a plant had managed to make her feel so good. A part of her wondered if it could do more.

As if to answer, another tentacle soon hovered near her mouth. It poked at the bottom of her lip, slowly oozing a strange substance off of it. Instinctively, Marble licked at the substance stuck to her mouth, finding that it tasted like watered down honey and was very warm. She opened her mouth, soon finding the tentacle slowly and carefully push its way in, resting on her tongue as more began to slowly secrete the wonderful substance.

She sucked on it, drinking in this warm sweet liquid. She hummed as she felt a warmness slowly begin to work its way through her body, like a warm lemon tea that had been dipped with honey. She let out a low sigh through her nose, unable to believe something so amazing had been so close all this time and she never knew.

She blinked in surprise as some of the tentacles began to secrete the substance, slowly covering her body in thick warm liquid. It made her skin feel smooth and lush. As some of it began to drip from her, a lone tentacle slowly dragged its way over her slit, causing the rock farmer to moan.

No one had ever touched her there like that before but it felt so good. The red object was now slowly sliding back and forth, grinding against her walls as her eyes glazed over more. Her body felt so light and everything seemed to slip away. All her worries and anxiety slowly ebbed and flowed out of her as she began to feel a growing sense of need.

As if to sense that, the tentacle grinding against her pulled back, before slowly pushing itself in. Marble shook slightly at the sensation but soon relaxed, happy to feel it begin to work its magic. It was so smooth and slick. Large but not to large. It managed to vibrate slightly causing her to exhale through her nose again as pleasure began to fill her senses. This was incredible. All the while, the tentacles around her body continued their work, more liquids falling from her body.

Stress and worries seemed to fade away as she felt the kinks in her body worked out. Her breasts getting squished and pulled, her arms and legs getting kneaded, her love tunnel getting slowly pounded, it was all incredible. All this time, this was what she needed. To feel something love her and give her that relief.

Slowly the pounding picked up, causing her to moan as the tentacle in her mouth began to pour more liquid down her throat. Some began to drip down her lip as more slid across her body. Her eyes lids fluttered a bit as she felt pleasure rocking her whole body. In and out, slowly out before pushing quickly back in. Legs quivering as the creature went deep but not too deep. Her body shook, the wonderful motion causing something to build with in her. Always finding just the right spot as she felt her orgasm suddenly rush up to meet her. She silently screamed, feeling a rush of liquid pour down between her legs.

"MHHmmm!"

The creature seemed to shake slightly in response, almost as if it was glad to service her. It continued to slowly push in and out of her slick walls, allowing her to bask in the afterglow while still twitching in delight.

The tentacle in her mouth carefully pulled out as did the one in her snatch. She out a loud sigh as the tentacles slowly lowered her back into the water. She felt the warm water her embrace her now silky feeling body. One by one, the tentacles slowly let go, letting her rest on the edge, until only a single one hung around in front of her face, as if waiting for answer.

Marble licked her lips. "That... Was... Incredible." She swallowed and raised up her hand, petting the top the curved tentacle. "I can't thank you enough. I don't know what you are or why you helped me, but I loved every second of it. I think I will be coming back again soon."

The tentacle seemed to excitedly shake in response, causing Marble chuckle and continue to rub her hand over it. "And I am going to bring my sister down her too. She needs this more than I do." She thought for a moment before smirking ever so slightly. "No need to worry about going easy on her..." She eyed the flower. "She really likes it rough."
