Locked Up

Chapter Three

Previous Chapter

It was about midway through the third day that Maud realized that she was truly doomed.

She had endured more than forty-eight hours in this diaper, trying to maintain a stiff upper lip as she was changed after every single piss. Thankfully, she had learned her lesson quickly, meaning she avoided the humiliation of the first time around.

Still, as they approached seventy-two hours, a new pressure started to take root inside of Maud. This one was different from the rest and was focused entirely upon her stomach.

Maud bit her lip and looked up at her Mistress, watching as she flipped through her book.

“Mistress…” Maud began.

Starlight perked up and smiled down at her, taking the opportunity to gently run a hand through her hair. “Yes, my pet?”

“I…” Maud’s ears folded back and she paused, wondering if even with this new development she would be granted some sort of reprieve. “I need to use the washroom.”

Starlight snorted and slid a bookmark into place between the pages of her book before placing it aside. She then motioned for Maud to get up.

“Then I guess we should get you off of the furniture before that becomes an issue,” Starlight teased.

Maud sighed. “I mean like using the bathroom as in…”

Starlight lifted a brow, motioning for her to elaborate.

“I need to…” Maud tried.

“Please use your words, dear,” Starlight chided, shaking her head. “It’s incredibly hard to have a conversation with you if you aren’t going to finish your sentences.”

Maud was about to. Though she then remembered the first time that she had urinated herself. She could remember how much sadistic glee Starlight had taken in debasing her, making her feel so low and humiliated, like she was nothing.

She could still feel the warmth of phantom piss against her face as if she’d just been ground into her diaper again.

No, she couldn’t tell Maud about this, she couldn’t allow her Mistress to use this as leverage against her. She’d need to find a way of dealing with it in due time and on her own. There had to be some way out of this situation that would allow her to preserve a little bit of her dignity.

“It’s nothing,” Maud quickly said, wincing as she knew how suspicious that must’ve sounded.

Starlight smirked. “Are you certain, dear?”

“Yes,” Maud replied, being quick but so terse with her response.

Starlight nodded slowly and continued to gently pet her, casually running a hand along her side. The gesture was so tender though it did little to settle Maud’s mind or the nauseous tension that was starting to grow in the pit of her stomach.

“I think I’m going to go use the bathroom,” Starlight said, patting Maud on the shoulder and signalling for her to get up once again. She then snorted and winked at her. “You know, since I can.”

Maud rolled her eyes. “Have fun.”

“Oh, I’ll have tons,” Starlight teased.

Maud got up and watched as her Mistress lifted herself off of the couch, stretching before making her way towards one of the apartment’s bathrooms. The door closed behind herself and she turned on the fan, drowning out any noise from within.

Which also meant that she wouldn’t hear any noise from outside of the bathroom either.

Maud bit her lip, feeling the spark of a rebellious little plot starting to take shape within her mind. She glanced towards the bedroom, wondering how much time she had. The apartment had two bathrooms and if she was quick then no one would need to know about her little white lie.

Surely, Starlight would prefer that she do this than change a diaper defiled in such a disgusting manner.

One self-assured untruth was met by another as the idea of breaking her rules became more and more pressing, increasingly acceptable as the pressure in her stomach mounted. After all, weren’t white lies designed to protect ponies?

So, without another thought, Maud got up and cautiously made her way towards Starlight’s bedroom. She slipped inside and carefully closed the door behind herself.

The last she’d seen, the keys for her belt had gone into the bedside table, locked away in the top-most drawer. However, there was that pesky little defensive ward that needed to be dealt with first. Maud didn’t know what it was but she’d seen it cast upon the piece of furniture after every use.

She stood there, looking down at the table, trying to discern what would be the best way to approach it. Though the main question was wondering how the spell would be triggered and once it was triggered what exactly it would do.

Maud glanced at the closet and made her way over, opening it and rummaging around inside. It took only a moment for her to find a familiar leather crop which she grabbed and approached the table with.

She stood about a good foot-and-a-half away, drawing in a breath as she held out the crop. Now was the moment of truth to figure out how fucked she was going to be. Her nerves were flaring up and she could feel such a heavy tension falling upon her shoulders, like an anvil weighing down upon them.

“Here goes nothing,” Maud huffed.

She prodded with the crop, touching the top most drawer with a decently forceful jab.

And…

And nothing happened.

“Huh,” Maud whispered.

Was the boobytrap activated in another manner? That was a possibility though there was also the possibility that maybe there wasn’t even a trap left in the first place. Maybe what Starlight cast was simply an illusion ward, something to make it seem trapped but that didn’t take up nearly as much magical reserves in order to cast.

Maud snorted.

That honestly did sound like something that Starlight would do.

So, with this new theory in mind, she tossed the crop onto the bed. Instead, she reached out and grabbed the drawer’s handle, pulling back upon it with no reluctance.

Though this turned out to be a terrible idea as the drawer started to light up, glowing so brightly. Maud yelped and slammed the drawer shut though it continued to glow. Even worse, as she drew her hand back, that very same glow lingered upon the palm of her hand. It was like triggering one of those ink cartridges that they put on clothing to stop theft. Except this one was far more magical in nature, glowing so brightly.

“Shit, shit, shit,” Maud growled.

She attempted to shake her hand but the glow remained firmly attached to her coat, cementing her crime.

“Fuck me,” Maud grumbled, shaking her head. “I… FUCK!”

This wasn’t good, this was the opposite of good, this was the furthest thing removed from good imaginable.

Maud quickly turned around and took a step away from the drawer. Though she promptly paused as she realized that Starlight was standing by the door, leaning against the frame.

Her Mistress looked so pleased with herself, seeming so cocky and utterly in control of the situation. She flashed a dangerous little smile, glancing down at the drawer before looking towards Maud’s hand.

“Oh, I was wondering when you were going to try that,” she chided, getting a dangerous edge to her voice. “I had a feeling that you wouldn’t be able to control yourself forever. Honestly, I’m impressed that you went this long without attempting it.”

She pushed away from the frame and used a quick flick of her magic to close the door behind herself. For extra measure, she also turned the lock, ensuring that it loudly clicked in place.

“Well, I’m excited to hear your excuse,” Starlight teased.

Maud sighed. “I… I needed to use the washroom.”

Starlight nodded and pursed her lips. “Interesting, very interesting. Though last I checked a week hadn’t elapsed between us, dear. Were you planning to use the bathroom without my consent or permission?”

“I…” Maud balled her hands into fists. “I… Look!”

“I am looking,” Starlight said as she sat down upon the edge of her bed. She had that same predatory smile that she always had with an added glimmer in her eye. In this moment, she was like a cat that was playing with a mouse that it intended to kill. “And what I see is a mare who was caught red handed…” She hummed and glanced at Maud’s palm. “Or well more like purple handed in this case but you get the point.”

Maud glared at her.

“Oh, don’t give me that look,” Starlight chastised. “We both know that you agreed to these terms. It’s not my fault that you’re in over your head.”

She hummed and thudded back upon the bed, smirking to herself. She seemed momentarily lost in thought, taking the chance to examine Maud.

“I think I know what’s going on,” Starlight finally said.

Maud crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned away. Though her cheeks warmed as she heard the diaper crinkle from her movement. Oh, how little time had passed since that had been a joyous sound. Now it felt like a mockery, like some sort of textured form of laughter that was cackling at her misfortune.

“What do you think is going on?” she asked.

Starlight smirked and drew her hands behind her head. She looked so proud of herself, her cocky mirth really getting under Maud’s skin. “I think someone needs to go number two and is too embarrassed to admit it.”

Maud huffed.

“See, I knew it,” Starlight jabbed. She drew her hand back so she could point at her pet, wagging a finger at her. “Because you’ve been pissing yourself with no issue so obviously this needs to be something bigger, something that’s actually humiliating to you.” She chuckled and shook her head. “Gods, you are just too much.”

“And I’m guessing you aren’t going to be kind enough to let me out of this diaper to do so?” Maud asked.

Starlight shrugged. “I mean, I might’ve shown you mercy if you were honest with me. I won’t lie, I wouldn’t take much pleasure in cleaning up that mess.” She snorted. “But then you decided that you wanted to be a sneaky little bitch and attempted to hide it behind my back. So…” She glanced at Maud and winked at her. “I guess you fucked yourself over, huh?”

“I hate this,” Maud growled. “I hate you!”

She didn’t believe a word that was leaving Starlight’s mouth, not trusting her for a moment. There was no chance that she actually intended to let her out of this accursed belt. This wasn’t a mare who was known for having mercy, not even a little.

“You’re lying,” Maud growled.

Starlight shrugged. “I mean, maybe.” She chuckled and made a show of shaking her head. “But you’ll never get to know if I was telling the truth or not. Maybe I was planning to let you out early for being such a good little filly. Maybe I wanted to fuck you and that pesky little belt was getting in the way of that.” She grinned. “But I guess we’ll never know, will we?”

Slowly, Starlight lifted herself away from the bed, sitting up and placing her hands within her lap.

“I doubt it,” Maud growled.

Starlight grinned. “Doubt all you want but why would I bother lying to you?” She lifted her hand and snapped her fingers together, causing magic to coat her digits. “Regardless of what I intended to do, your current actions are unacceptable and you’ll need to be punished for them.”

Her magic gripped at Maud’s wrists and lifted them above her head with surprising ease. As Starlight took a step forward, her mana forced Maud to take a step back in exchange. Her magic was so powerful, so omnipresent, this spell having more strength than any earth pony could ever hope to muster.

Soon, Maud felt herself pressed back against the wall with Starlight growing so woefully close to her.

Starlight grinned and pressed her body against Maud’s, resting a palm against her stomach. She applied a little pressure, pushing down upon it.

Maud groaned in discomfort, huffing and narrowing her gaze. “I hate you.”

“No, you don’t,” Starlight chided, nipping at her. “You love when I’m a stone-cold bitch. You crave it.” She chuckled and planted a tender little kiss against her neck, her voice muffled as it tickled across her flesh. “If you didn’t then you would’ve given up on me a very long time ago, dear.”

Maud didn’t respond, couldn’t bring herself to do so. Starlight was right, of course she was. Yet, at this moment, her mind was a maelstrom of emotions and the added pressure to her already aching stomach certainly didn’t help in the slightest.

Starlight trailed a line of kisses down from Maud’s neck and towards her collarbone. At the same time, she reached up and cupped one of her breasts, caressing it with digits that were still coated in magic. The added mana had an interesting effect upon them, feeling like some sort of tingling static against her coat, being oh so divine of a sensation.

Maud felt a little moan bubble forth, feeling her cheeks warm. The twin strokes of shame and pleasure were an interesting cocktail, meddling with her mind and making it so hard to focus.

“I own you,” Starlight teased.

Maud grunted and didn’t reply.

Starlight looked up, her gaze narrowing as she did so. She applied a little more pressure to Maud’s stomach, really pushing down upon it.

“Say it!” she ordered.

Maud huffed and didn’t dignify her with a response.

“I said…” Starlight really pressed down now, going even harder and knocking the air out of Maud. “Say it!”

Maud’s stomach ached so much, hurting so badly. She couldn’t stand up against this, there was no hope of enduring it for much longer.

So, she growled and closed her eyes. “You own me.”

This seemed to please Starlight, at least for now, as she drew her hand back, taking away from that pressure inside of Maud’s stomach. Though really it only had a minimal benefit upon her wellbeing, pushing away the edge but not tackling the core problem.

“You are being so uncooperative lately,” Starlight chided, wagging a finger at her. “Who has been teaching you these things?”

Maud looked down. “I’m…” She grunted as Starlight cupped her chin and forced her to gaze downwards, ensuring that she stared into her eyes. There were few things she hated more than eye contact but she especially hated it when she felt so utterly humiliated. “I’m sorry, Mistress.”

“I’ll forgive you for now,” Starlight teased.

She drew away and snapped her finger once more, causing the shackles to dissipate.

“I guess it’s time to try out some new bondage,” Starlight said, winking at her. “You’re going to be my good little test subject. Think of it as retribution for being such a bad filly.”

She approached the bed and quickly snapped her fingers, using her mana to grab a sheet of plastic from the closet. This sheet flew through the air before going over top of the bed, covering it in a protective barrier. Though she then went over to the very same closet and started to search around inside.

“Lay down on your back,” Starlight ordered.

Maud nodded and obeyed because of course she obeyed. What else could she honestly do when she held so few of the cards? So, she made her way over and laid down upon the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

What exactly could’ve been so new about this bondage?

Starlight continued to rummage through the closet, making pleased little sounds with every item that she found. Though Maud couldn’t see what they were as they were quickly ferried into a nearby box, hidden from view by the plain cardboard.

The suspense was palpable and Maud felt a nervous little energy inside of herself. It felt like weight inside of her stomach, a toxin that ebbed outwards and radiated throughout her veins.

Was this fear? It felt like fear…

Starlight grabbed the last of the items and then picked up the box, grinning at Maud as she came over. She placed the box down beside the bed and then peered at her submissive. Her gaze was as analytical as it was mischievous, obviously taking care in sizing up what exactly she intended to do.

Her expression was so hard to read, impossible even. Though it was clear that whatever it was, it was not going to be good for Maud’s continued wellbeing.

Starlight finally nodded to herself and bent over, grabbing something from within the box. It appeared to be a pair of handcuffs with a chain attached to them. The chain in turn was attached to a winch before ending in a second cuff which could be anchored to something.

Like the head of this bed, for example.

Maud took the hint and decided not to fight it, knowing that if she was going to be tormented then it was only a matter of time until Starlight had her way. So, she simply lifted her hands above her head and waited.

Starlight clasped the cuffs around her wrists before moving the chain towards the headboards and attaching it to them as well.

She then returned to the box and grabbed two matching bondage rigs. Though these ones differed slightly from the first. Each of these had a single large cuff instead of a pair of handcuffs. These were bound around her fetlocks before Starlight attached both of the chains to the foot of the bed.

“How does that feel?” Starlight asked.

Maud squirmed a little, appraising how it really felt. It was tight, that much was for certain. Yet, it wasn’t impossibly tight, not yet anyways. Though she wasn’t an idiot. She knew what a winch was meant for and what effect that would have upon her already tormented body.

She could recall an ancient torture device from a movie. It was a table with a pair of large winches attached to a series of ropes. Its goal was to put pressure upon the equine body, practically pulling it apart.

Starlight sat upon the edge of the bed and lifted up her hands. “Do you need me to tell you what’s going to happen or are you smart enough to figure it out on your own?”

“I have a pretty good idea,” Maud grumbled.

Starlight nodded and once more snapped those pesky little fingers together. Her mana emboldened and soon her spell coated all three of these winches in quick succession. She surrendered an amused little snort before she started to slowly turn each of the gears, causing the chain to tighten and grow more and more tense.

Maud grunted as the little bit of wiggle room she’d been provided utterly disintegrated, poofing away into nothing. The tension upon her arms and legs was uncomfortable but it was nothing compared to the ache which seemed to so utterly besiege her stomach.

Thankfully, Starlight seemed contented with her torment, drawing her magic away and leaving the bondage as it was. Instead, she kind of just watched Maud, peering down at her with that same aggressive little smolder in her eyes. It was like she was playing with a toy and not tormenting another living thing.

“Does it hurt?” she asked.

Maud hissed and closed her eyes, not bringing herself to respond. She wouldn’t give Starlight the satisfaction.

“Better get used to it, dear. I’m not letting you out that position until you soil yourself,” Starlight teased, scoffing under her breath. “God, you really do look so pathetic right now.”

She drew her hand over and traced it up along Maud’s leg, moving her fingers so carefully. Her digits made it up to Maud’s stomach where she circled a single finger around it. If Maud had been ticklish that would’ve been enough to set her off. Though instead, it merely made her grunt and fidget within her bondage.

“Come on darling, we both know that you can only last so long,” Starlight stated. “I won’t even dangle the carrot in front of you this time. There is only one thing that will make your torment end and we both know what that is.”

To prove her point, she pressed down upon Maud’s stomach, causing her to wheeze and whimper under the pressure. Though she thankfully pulled back just as quickly.

Maud’s eyes were wide with a semi-craze quality, feeling the contents of her stomach start to shift around. She gritted her teeth together and squirmed though there was no way of avoiding what was coming. It was inevitable and even she knew that.

Starlight just kind of sat there, watching her with such curious glee. She felt like a conquering queen at this moment, lording over Maud like one of her unfortunate captives. Was this how a pony felt when they were in the jaws of a changeling or held captive in a dragon’s den?

Maud was a plaything, something meant to be tormented and brought to the brink.

“Oh Maud, I am so sorry for your bad choices,” Starlight murmured, giving her head a purposeful shake. “You really screwed up by surrendering your safeword like that.” She chuckled. “Though you probably screwed up far earlier when you decided that it was a smart idea to date a mare like me.”

Maud whimpered and closed her eyes. She tented her brow, trying everything in her power to deny herself. She could feel her soul and body moving towards the brink, suffering because they continued to resist. Still, she struggled and grunted, hoping that a miracle would come.

Starlight rested a hand upon Maud’s body and offered the slimmest of smiles, drumming her fingers against her coat. She said nothing as she started to press down, pushing upon her abdomen once again and putting a decent amount of force into it.

Maud cried out, literally wept. She wasn’t done, not yet, but it seemed increasingly inevitable at this point. She squirmed with what little freedom that she still clung onto but it was utterly pointless.

“Fuck,” Maud wheezed.

Her stomach continued to ache, the pain growing to such a hopeless degree.

This was it. This was the end.

Maud cried out and screamed and whimpered and groaned. She made every sound of misery that could possibly exist. All of them were expelled from her mouth at this moment. It was like a clap of raw disdain, distilled and concentrated in order to purify it into only the strongest forms of misery imaginable.

And all of those noises were because of one factor.

There was no longer a pain in Maud’s stomach, the issue having been resolved in the worst way possible.

Maud’s cheeks burned with such a raw sense of shame and utter humiliation. They were currently redder than any substance that could’ve possibly existed within this realm or any of the realms that lingered nearby.

Starlight removed her hand from Maud’s stomach. She looked so pleased with herself, leering at her pet like the devil themself. There was an evil inside of this mare and it radiated throughout her, casting an aura of misery in all directions.

“Oh, you poor dear,” she said, practically singing due to her glee. “Did you have an accident?”

Maud looked off to the side, unable to speak, unable to look, unable to do anything but stew in the raw wrongness of this moment.

Starlight snorted. “I would suggest that you answer me, dear.” She examined her hand, looking at her own fingers instead of focusing on Maud. She didn’t spare even a moment of attention for her. “We both know how silence usually works out for you, don’t we?”

“Please,” Maud whispered.

“Please what?” Starlight asked, scoffing. “Use your words.”

Maud growled. “Please change me.”

“Not with that attitude, I won’t,” Starlight grumbled, lifting a brow and finally taking the chance to look down at Maud. “I’d suggest hurrying up, you’re already starting to stink.”

To add to Maud’s humiliation, Starlight ensured that she crinkled her nose in utter disgust, even flinching away from Maud a little bit.

And it worked like a charm as Maud somehow managed to feel an even deeper sense of shame than before. This was a form of humiliation that existed in her core, seeming to fill her bones with a toxic and intense chill. It was like her personhood had been shattered and laid bare, it was like…

It was like a lot of negative things, none of which seemed like they could be overcome due to how oppressive they felt. One of these emotions alone was enough to send her into silence but together they were overwhelming.

“Please change me,” Maud whispered, shaking her head. “Please, Starlight, please you need to change me, I can’t… I can’t function like this.”

Starlight drew in a breath, practically shivering. “God, I love how pathetic you sound.”

Though she did concede and got up, stretching as she took a step away from the bed. With a snap of her fingers, she loosened all of the winches at once, taking the tension away from Maud’s poor abused body. Though she ensured that her pet remained bound to the bed, stuck in place.

Instead, she moved over to the closet and looked inside, only taking a moment to locate the diapers that were stored within.

Maud hated how slow Starlight’s movements were. It was like she was purposefully making herself as lethargic as possible, drawing out this terrible moment and milking it for everything that it was worth. Yet, she still progressed, first placing the package on the floor before opening it. A moment or so later, she snapped back up with a fresh diaper in her hands.

Carefully, Starlight made her way over and settled down upon the edge of the bed, placing the diaper beside herself. Like with all of the previous cleanings, she grabbed a cloth. Though unlike the others, she also grabbed some sort of cleansing oil. Both of these found a home upon the nearby bedside table.

Then with such gracefulness, Starlight reached into that accursed boobytrapped drawer and drew out the ring of keys that held Maud captive. There was such a cruel smile upon her lips as she jingled them.

“What are you waiting for?” Maud grumbled.

Starlight shrugged. “Nothing really, I just love watching your discomfort.” She grinned. “It’s honestly kind of delicious in its own unique way.”

Though it seemed that the witch had her fill as she used the keys to open each of the locks in turn, popping them open one after another. It surely took only a few moments before Maud was liberated but it felt like it could’ve very well have been hours.

Still, in the end, the belt was drawn away. All of the various accessories now lingered in Starlight’s magic though she placed them all aside as she carefully laid them out upon the bed.

This left just the diaper behind.

Starlight didn’t delay as she changed this like she had with all of the others, neatly drawing it away. Though unlike the others, she merely tossed this one into a plastic bag, hiding away the mess. It would seem that using such a fouled accessory to further Maud’s humiliation was a bridge too far even for a mare as vile as herself.

Maud squirmed and flinched away as she felt the cloth and oil, the two of them coming together in order to clean up Maud. It was not a pleasant sensation by any stretch of the imagination. This was yet another humiliation in long list of them

But soon Starlight tossed the cloth away as well, looking amused but utterly professional in the dedication that she put into this task.

And finally, after all of that, a fresh diaper was brought out and held afloat at Starlight’s side.

“Please,” Maud whimpered.

Starlight chuckled. “Only a couple more days you big baby.”

Maud didn’t reply, merely letting the matter drop. She barely even reacted as the diaper was drawn into place. And she didn’t so much as protest as the chastity belt was once more affixed over top, keeping her dignity more than effectively restrained.

Once finished, Starlight smirked, snapping her fingers and doing away with the bondage in a heartbeat.

She then chuckled, sounding so dark as she gave her head a tired shake. “Come on, my pet, this week is far from over.”
