"So let me get this straight."

"As straight as you can get" Scarlet teased but Abe chose to ignore it.

"You met Half Moon. Got some hard aphrodisiac and an experimental powdered version of another experimental drug that enhanced your senses, and used them to punish your husband and sister in law for sleeping together behind your back by making him so fueled with aphrodisiac he would fuck her while she was so sensitive that she could suffer throughout the whole experience."

"When you put it like that it's not the most sensical plan" Cadence admitted "But it did work out flawlessly"

"And then you watched it happen, started enjoying it a bit too much and licked Twilight's tears and liked the taste so now you feel guilty about it and are a mess of confusion and emotions."

".... yes. Basically" the alicorn lowered her ears. She really didn't know how to feel about what she did. On one hoof it was pride that she showed Twilight her place. On the other hoof she felt ashamed and guilty she actually enjoyed that.

"And you came here because you needed to talk about it"

"Yes. That about sums it up"

Abe sighed and rubbed his temples, a look of annoyance in his face. He looked down at the now empty plates on the table and with a quick spell he teleported them away.

"I'll do dishes later. Now, Cadence." he turned to the alicorn with a serious look "We're friends. And i love you for that. I also admire your desire to learn more about this issue you have. And i respect you for not being like the rest of the royalty here. And I'm thankful for your help around here. But with all due respect, quit being a pussy."

"W-what?" Cadence went wide eyed. She certainly didn't expect that response.

"Do i approve of what you did? Not quite but I've done worse. However what i find annoying is that you're crying over it. Yes you did it and you enjoy it. Grow the fuck up and own your shit." Abe had a stern look you would expect from a father telling his son to be tougher.

"B-but. She's my sister in law!"

"It's also your husband's biological sister but they don't seem to care"

"And i shouldn't be enjoying that! What happened was meant just as a punishment thing. I shouldn't be enjoying it like that! Let alone with Twilight. I shouldn't be thinking any of this. Like what is wrong with me?!"

"Nothing" Abe's horn began to glow and in a puff his make-up tools appeared in the table. He brought the mirror to his face and started putting his usual black facial decoration. "You're merely someone with some sadistic tendencies and just so happens to like the taste of tears. Which doesn't mean much it probably just means you like salty stuff." At that he smirked and chuckled a bit. "Wonder if the same goes for semen. But either way. Yeah, basically you're just discovering you're a bit of a sadist and a cuckquean by the looks of it nothing too bad and it's okay to be a bit confused at first it happens to the best of us. And I'll help you deal with it if you want. But to do that i need you to stop whining about it and accept things as they are. You did do those things to your husband and sister-in-law, you did enjoy tormenting them, you did enjoy watching them have rough sex, you did enjoy licking your sister-in-law's tears, you enjoyed it all. Now my question is do you want my help figuring it all out or are you going to keep whining about how wrong it was for you to do it?"

Cadence went dead silent. She didn't know how to reply. She did want help understanding, she couldn't deny that. But she couldn't exactly throw her moral compass away like that. But what other choice she had. She had come so far. This was the point of no return. She crossed the forbidden line last night. Figuring stuff out and understanding her current feelings may help her gain some control over the situation.

"I....I want help" She replied

"The correct answer" Abe got up and started walking away "Wait here" he said as he went upstairs.

It all fell to silence as Cadence and Scarlet were left alone. The filly had taken to drawing with her crayons, smiling and humming as she did. At that moment Cadence got reminded of what she discovered yesterday. She went back to feeling uneasy as she stared at the small foal. She looked happy. But Cadence still couldn't shake the feeling. It's not surprising Abe would go to this length but she was still shocked he would actually do something with a kid. It felt... wrong. And to think a minute ago she was thinking of herself as a horrible person.

"You know, if you keep looking at me like that i may get the wrong idea that you want me, Cadence." Scarlet suddenly spoke before giggling. Cadence blinked. Was she.... flirting?

"Umm sorry" she averted her gaze awkwardly. Causing the filly to giggle even more and look up at her.

"It's okay i like attention. Besides i can get an idea as to why you're looking at me like that."

"Yeah..." Cadence stated simply.

"Tell me. How did you feel when you found out. I heard you yelling a bit so you must have been mad. Understandable I'll say. But i assure you there's nothing to worry. He doesn't force me to do anything and i don't mind doing stuff with him"

"But how do you know that. You're-"

"A foal, yes i know. That doesn't mean I'm stupid." Scarlet said that with a bit of annoyance in her voice.

"Okay okay but how can you be sure Abe's not-"

"Taking advantage of me? Abusing me? Trust me, he's not."

"But how do you know" Cadence persisted causing Scarlet to sigh in irritation.

"Because I've been abused before and he's not doing that. End of story." and with that she went back to drawing. Cadence on the other hoof went silent again. She couldn't quite argue against that and further more it felt like she reminded Scarlet of something she didn't want to remember. It was probably best not to push it.

"I'm sorry" she apologized.

"It's alright" Scarlet replied.

"So, uh, what are you drawing. Cadence asked to which Scarlet pulled up her drawing and showed it to her. To Cadence's shock it was the scene from last night. Her standing next to a bed and Shining and Twilight having sex. It was, oddly too detailed, even for a foal's crayon drawing. Twilight was even showed crying. Cadence looked to Scarlet who was smiling while holding the piece of paper in her mouth.

"Did you just... draw what i said i did last night?" Cadence asked.

"Mhm"

"Well you sure seem to be mature for your age" Scarlet lets the drawing down and smirks at Cadence.

"Told you. I'm young but not stupid"

"I guess you're right about that. So. How did you manage to woo Abe. I know you've had a crush on him for a while."

"Oh hehe how you ask... "

Flashback

Black started coming out. Strange. She expected red. She pulled the knife away. It was covered on this black stuff that came out. It was weird. Looked like if it almost moved. Maybe it was a trick if the light. It was rather dark after all. Her breath got shacky, heartbeats got faster. Realization on what she just did hit her like a thrown rock. She started crying and backing away looking down at the mess she caused.

She killed him.

"I just.... charmed him with my personality is all" Scarlet replied "Plus I'm cute. And it's not like Abe can say no to me for anything."

"I see. But why do yo-"

Boom

Cadence was interrupted when a huge stack of books landed on the table. She looked at them dumbfounded then turned to see Abe smiling as usual on the side of the table.

"Umm... what's this?" She asked.

"Some books I'm lending you." he replied simply.

Cadence picked some of the books in her magic to check them out. Intro to incest? Polyamory 101? How to harem? Cuckoldry for dummies? Sadomasochism and bondage? Taboo love? A dive into consangunamory? Polycules and more? Guide to sadistic pleasure?

"Am i supposed to read all this stuff?" Cadence asked with red cheeks. Some of these definitely had something pornographic in them and she didn't feel quite like having to read that.

"Eyup." Abe nodded. Cadence merely sighed in defeat. She did need to learn so that will also include reading apparently.

"At least tell me these don't have lewd stuff in them."

"Whaaa?! Noo how could i? Of course not" Abe put his best mock shock performance and Cadence got the message.

"Okay whatever but this doesn't solve my problem" Cadence frowned sadly. Abe sighed as he took a chair and sat right beside her.

"Look. I know how you're feeling. It's normal to feel that way actually. But you have to trust me that guilt tripping over feeling a certain way isn't going to solve a thing. You have to face your feelings in order to understand them, not run away from them. I mean, look at me. Do i look bad to you? I have no guilt at all over what i do."

"Yeah you're not the best example to take if I'll be honest" Cadence replied to which Abe frowned.

"Whatever. What i mean is, you need to accept your emotions and face them for what they are. Otherwise you won't have harmony within you."

Cadence sat in silence for a few moments. It was true, she needed to understand. Running away from it wouldn't help. So maybe exploring could help her understand a bit more. After all, how could she hope to understand Shining and Twilight if she was having trouble understanding herself.

"Thanks Abe" She smiled.

"Don't even mentioned" he replied, also smiling "Now, take these books with you and head home or else they start wondering where you are."

Before Cadence could even process it, Abe's horn began glowing and she along the books were teleported away.

"Now that's dealt with." Abe said with a satisfied smile as he started drinking from a cup of tea he all of a sudden had in his magic "Let's wait and see what happens" he grinned and gave a sinister chuckle.

"Don't you know what will happen?" Scarlet asked all of a sudden.

"What?"

"I mean, you are essentially a god. Can't you like, see the future."

" What the.. No!"

"Why not?"

"Look" Abe rubbed his temples "First of all, it's not that simple. I can only see all the possible futures and while i can calculate which is more likely to happen given how chaotic everything is the outcome is always changing. And second of all it's kind of a selective ability thing and I'm choosing not to use that right now."

"Why?"

"I don't know, why do you ponies blindfold yourself while playing pin the tail on the pony or during BDSM. It's more fun that way. Think of it as the godly version of sensory play."

"Okay i guess that makes sense."

Cadence found herself in her room. Before she realized a rainstorm of books fell on top of her head.

'Darn it Abe' she thought as she pulled herself out of the tsunami of books. Had Twilight seen this she would have probably orgasmed more than she did last night just from the sheer amount of books. Who knows, maybe she's into that.

Cadence stopped again. Was she really considering exploring this? Up until last night she had no idea she could ever have these feelings. Now she's considering going through with them.

She looked at all the books. Well she'll need to hide this somewhere. Who knows what would happen if someone found these. She opened her closet and swiftly opened the secret door in the back of it. Quickly she put the books inside and the closed it back again without a trace. Satisfied she prepared to leave the room. The exact moment she opens the door she is startled by a pink scare straight out of the most absurd nightmares.

"Hi Cadence! Whatcha doing? Were you doing something? Why are you all alone? By the way wanna come and hang out with the rest of us? Oh and also i was wondering around and i got Flurry for you." Pinkie Pie didn't even breathe as she spat word after word after word. Then she lowered her head to show the infant foal that was playing with her puffy mane. Fkurry Heart giggled and laughed as she treated the pink made like a fluffy teddy bear. "I found her awake so i decided to spend some time together. Want her back?" Cadence took the baby in her magic and away from Pinkie's head, much to the foal's dislike.

"Ummm, Thank you Pinkie."

"No problemo! Oh are you hungry? I'm hungry. I think we should go get snacks together and maybe check out that restaurant we went to yesterday and oh oh oh i know LET'S HAVE A PARTYYYYYY!! We can play pin the tail on the donkey, or hide and seek or or or-"

Cadence started thinking that maybe a few years in Abe's playrooms would be a nice vacation if it meant being away from this. Pinkie Pie would never stop talking of she started. And as they were walking to go and join the others, with Pinkie bouncing merrily up and down, the pink mare never stopped talking. Not even to take a breath which made Cadence wonder if the overenergetic pony needed oxygen at all. No matter what, she needed to go through this treatment until they reached where the others had gathered. She needed to keep up the facade. Not let Shining and Twilight know she knew about them. And not let anyone else notice something was going on. She had a lot ahead. And she had come so far. She couldn't let any mistake ruin everything. Socializing would help her observe and maintain the status quo at the same time. So from now on she decided not to come up with excuses to leave the room. Less it was really necessary of course. But from now on she will not run away. She would face things as they are, even if that meant having to listen to Pinkie talking nonstop. With Flurry on her back, the babbling Pinkie by her side and a determined look on her face she marched forward towards their destination.

She will not run away this time.
