Chapter One: Lyra and Moon Shine

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

CRACK! Lyra hated the sound that bone made when it was popped out of place and then back into the place it belonged.
"How does that feel?" She asked the amber pegasus who was laying on her working table.

"T-that feels....pretty goooood." The pegasus cooed as she sat up on the bench. Her amber coat stood out in contrast to her dark green hair and glazed eyes. Her wings were longer and thinner than most pegasi, but it wasn't that which Lyra couldn't stand the most about her, what she couldn't stand was, the lingering smoke cloud and oddly minty smell surrounding her client.
"Cannabis, are you high again?"

"Whaaaat. No way, I'm fiiine."
"Dammit, you are! How are you going to survive rehab if you can't even stay grounded enough at a spa?!"

"Geez Lyra, why are you freaking out? It's natural."
"I'm freaking out because you could get arrested and cause us to shut down if you keep coming in here high as fucking Cloudsdale."

"Ugh, fine. I promise I won't come back in here high ever again." Cannabis said in her airy and high pitched tone. Lyra knew that she had a problem, hell she had it ever since she was a filly. They went to school together and were great friends, even BonBon loved her, until she fell in with the wrong crowd. Of course, there probably wasn't much she could do with a cutie mark that looks like the shit she smoked.
"Whatever, just get out of here. Or i'll have to get Lotus to call your parole officer to take you home, again." Said Lyra slightly irritated.

"Oh, no please don't call him to get me again, PLEASE LYRA, it will never happen again." Cannibus said rather scared .
"Alright, fine just get out of here." Lyra said as she rolled her eyes and pointed to the door.

"Ooooooh-kaaaaay." Said Cannibas as she, litterally, floated out on her smoke cloud. As Cannibas floated out the door lyra slammed the door on her flank. After that she walked back to clean up her workspace, then about 5 minutes later she heard a knock on the door.
"Coming." Said Lyra walking to the door, but before she could open the door Lotus slammed it open causing Lyra to smash into the wall.

"Lyra your weekly patient is here." Said Lotus. "Also, why are you in the wall?"
"Just looking for cracks." She said, rather irritated.

"Oh, alright then just hurry and ready yourself for your favorite patient." Lotus said once again winking.
Lyra just rolled her eyes and told Lotus to shut up, as she got out of the wall and Lotus went back to her own patient chuckling.
Meanwhile out by the front desk stood Moon Shine, Lyra's weekly patient, he was a brown-ish gray pegasus with a booze bottle with three "x's" on the label who had been a royal gaurd for many years, up until just a few months ago. He was fired for constantly being drunk on the job, doing stupid things all the time, intentionally pulling false alarms, and things like that. He had told Lyra that he was fired from the royal gaurd but he never told her why, when she asked him he just made up some excuse that she ended up believing. Every time since the second time that he had gone in for treatment he had asked Lyra out on a date and every time she turned him down, but he had never given up and once again was going to ask her out on a date, today.

"Alright, you can do this. You have done this every week for almost two months now, you can do this." He told himself as he knocked on the door to Lyra's workroom.
"It's open." Lyra said, knowing what would happen as soon as Moon Shine walked through the door.

"Hey, Lyra! How's it going?" He said, as he handed her a bouqet of flowers.
"I'm doing pretty good, how about yourself?"

"I've been good,but do you know what would make my day even better?" He asked.
"Let me guess, if I went out on a date with you?"

"How did you guess? Anyway, yes I ask you this every week, but will you?" He asked sincerly.
"Well," Started Lyra, clearly thinking about her answer. "Alright." She finished.

"Oh co-Wait did you just say yes!?" He asked Lyra, rather surprised by her answer.
She merely nodded.

"YES!" He shouted.
Chuckling, Lyra merely told him, "Come on then it's time to get your treatment for the week." As she pointed to the worktable, which he walked over to and layed down on starting to relax as Lyra got to work on preening and massaging him as she usually did.

6 Months Later

There was a loud smash at Lyra's door as it flung open, revaling Moon Shine behind it. "Get your sexy flank over here. You stupid bitch." He demanded, storming into Lyra's house in a drunken fury. Once in the house he smashed the neck of the bottle of booze he was carrying against the wall and took a long swig from it, not caring about the shards of broken glass that mixed with the whiskey.

"Stay the hell away from me..." Screamed Lyra, cowering in the corner of the room.

"I'll do whatever the fuck I want to." He said, swaying as he headed torward Lyra.

"Stay back!" She screamed once more.

"What, I just wanna get some of that fine flank."

Now in tears and not wanting to be raped by Moon Shine, Lyra tried to run away from him.

As he chased after her, Moon Shine yelled, "Get in that fucking bedroom!" Demandingly, pointing to the bedroom.

"Never!" She screamed.

"Fine, we can do this the hard way." He said, as he finally caught up with her. After that he grabbed her, and back-hooved her across the muzzle, then dragged her toward the bedroom.

Screaming, Lyra did the only thing she could think of, which was to grab the bottle of Apple Jack Daniel's that Moon Shine had been holding and smash it on the top of his head. With the loud sound of glass shattering and a thud he fell to the ground. Lyra merely stared at the, now, unconcious, bleeding, and drunken stallion lying on the floor in front of her, and she merely started laughing! At that moment an idea popped into her head, she could finally get back at Moon Shine for all the times he came home drunk off his flank and abused and raped her, so with that she began to drag his body torward the basement.
