Jealousy's consequences : part 1

We've all experience heartbreak once in our lives, while most individuals believe the one person whom they've dated for a while seemed like the one they want to spend the rest of their lives with. There are some who feel that it just wouldn't work out the way they've imagined it too. Most feel that it's best to call it off if either of them don't have much in common, while some call it off whenever they feel threatened or abused by their respected partners, and there are some who decide to give it another chance and to see where it goes from there. However, there are those out there who don't take breakups well, to the point where they go as far as to either stalk or constantly beg their former lovers to take them back, and this kind of behavior can take a pretty dark tole on the individual in question.

On this quiet evening in the city of Canterlot, we find a cozy looking house sitting atop of a lush green hill as the view of the setting sun lightly illuminated the area making it look more breathtaking alongside the various flowers scattered across the small field outside of the house. Speaking of the house, we find a loving couple sitting comfortably inside their humble abode as the stallion could be seen massaging his wife's pregnant belly. The stallions excitement at the fact that he'll be a father soon could not be contained, and the mare felt the same way as well, happy that they'll finally start a family after 2 years of marriage. But what the couple doesn't know is that their evening was about to take a dark turn for the worse.

As there quietly peeping in on the couple from behind one of the bushes outside, we find a stallion in his early 20's growling at the sight of the couple that stood before him. The mare in question was whom he had his eye on the most, as it turns out, the pregnant mare whom sat inside the house was his ex girlfriend after 5 years. The two of em met during their sophomore year of Highschool, and after some friendly conversations between the pair, they eventually became a couple. While it seemed like a pretty normal relationship at first, I'm sorry to say that this happiness didn't last long. Once they entered their junior year of college, the mare became fearful towards her boyfriend, noticing sudden changes in his personality.

After some encouragement from her friends, she called it off with him. And as you can guess, the stallion did not take it well. Since the breakup , the stallion became desperate and would constantly beg and pester his ex to take him back promising to do better, but each time, the mare refused to take him back. This went on until their senior year, and even though she found someone new, her present husband. That didn't stop her ex from begging the mare to take him back, this resulted in a few fights between the two stallions, with the last one resulting in the latters expulsion and a restraining order after he treatened to stab him to death so that his ex will take him back.

After that, the mare hasn't seen him since, despite a few sighting and love letters sent by him here and there. But what she doesn't know is that her ex has been secretly surveying the couple from their graduation, the proposal, the wedding, and even their honeymoon, not letting a piece of legal paper stop him from his pursuit to reclaim his girl. His face was full of burning rage as he stared on at the couple sitting comfortably inside their home wishing he was in that stallions place instead.

"You fucking traitor" He said under his breath. " How could you replace me like that?! Sure I wasn't the best boyfriend, but you could have given me a chance to change myself for you. But no, you chose the most cliche course of action and replace me with some gigachad looking dude. I swear you chicks are all the same, ya replace your ex with someone who's better looking and more muscular than them, and the fact that he's a royal guard too only proves my point, I betcha he takes steroids. There's no way someone can get that big so easily"

"It's not fair, that should be our house, that should be me sitting next to you, that should be my wedding ring on my hoof, and that should be my baby inside your stomach, not his!!!" Suddenly , the front door of the house swung open , interrupting the stallions small rant as he ducked behind the bush to avoid being spotted by his ex and her royal guard husband.

"Honey I'm so sorry for working the night shift again" The stallion said. " With most of the night guards still recovering from the Changeling attack, Celestia's had to resort to having most of the day guards for the night shift to cover for em until their back on their knee's "

"It's fine Chris" She replied as she straightened up his uniform a bit. " I know how important the night shift is, ya gotta make sure that no other threat tries to sneak into Canterlot. Besides it's still good money" She then rubbed her stomach slightly. " And It'll definitely help us big time, especially with this soon to be little miracle"

"I'll say " Chris replied, and then took it upon himself to kneel down and gently kiss her wives pregnant stomach which housed their soon to be son or daughter. " Daddy will see you soon little one" He then stood back up and planted a passionate kiss towards his wife as the peeping stallion watched on while gritting his teeth in a jealous rage. " And I'll see you soon, don't worry about leaving me dinner, go ahead and relax, I'll grab something on my way to my post. I'll see you tomorrow Samantha"

"See you tomorrow big guy, and be careful" Samantha said as she watched her hubby walk off to work, unknown to her however, her ex watched the whole scene play out as he watched her head back inside the house, his look of jealousy still written all over his face.

"Late shift my ass" He replied. " I betcha he's secretly banging one of the female troopers or even one of the princesses, but your too distracted by his chiseled features to even notice" The retinas in his eyes began to shift slightly from his normal dark brown color to a menacing red hue as he took a long glance towards the house. " You will be mine again Sam, whether you like it or not, I am not gonna be rejected for the 100th time. Your gonna get back together with me whether you like it or not"

"Get ready baby"

"Here I come"

A few minutes later

Inside the house, we find Samantha humming a little tune as she pours herself a glass of light wine, not knowing that her night was about to take a dark turn. Just as she was about to take a sip of her beverage, she took a second to look down at her soon to be kid, lightly rubbing her stomach " Looks like it's just you and me again sweetheart, but don't worry, daddy won't be on the late shift for long. Hmmmmmmm, It's still pretty early, and I don't feel like sitting around the house for the rest of the evening. Maybe I'll meet up with the girls at the cafe..............

Suddenly the mare was interrupted as she heard a small thud from behind her, she was quick to turn around to see if someone was there, but found no one in sight.

"Chris?" She called out. " Is that you?" But there was no reply, the mare couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy at the thought of someone other than her husband inside her house. But she was soon quick to brush it off, thinking that it was only her imagination. " Huh? It was probably just the wind, what am I worried about anyways? With that new lock Chris installed, there's no way anyone can break in, right sweet pea?" She then turned back towards her kitchens island and took another sip of her wine. Not knowing a pair of reddish eyes were surveying the mare through the corner of the kitchen.

"Ya know babe, they say it's not healthy to drink while pregnant"

The mare was quick to spit out her drink in a terrified manner as she heard the voice from behind her, cold shivers ran down her spine as she was quick to recognize whom the voice belonged to. Samantha slowly turned around still terrified, and to her horror, there stood non other than her ex boyfriend with a look of pure malice written all over his face as a big grin also formed at the sight of his pregnant ex. The mare was speechless for a moment at the sight of her ex, all while wondering how he managed to sneak into her house, having changed the locks to prevent any intruder from getting in whenever Chris was out on duty. "Ttttttttttttravis?"

"That's right luv" Travis replied, and then took a step forward causing Samantha to back away slightly. " You look breathtaking tonight babe, It's been quite a while since I've come up so close to you"

But the mare on the other hand wasn't the least bit flattered at her exes flirting " Travis............you know your not supposed to be within 100 feet of me and Chris. How the hell did you even get inside ? Chris Changed the lock's" A small chuckle could be heard coming from the stallion as a response to the scared mares question.

"Do you honestly think a piece of paper is gonna stop me from taking you back?" He asked. " Plus, it'll take a lot more than a fancy lock set up by that gigachad babe"

"Don't call em babe" Samantha replied. " And don't insult my husband please"

"That chump isn't your husband Sam" Travis said. " I know you too well , I know that you wouldn't fall for someone who looks like he's hopped up on steroids and probably cheats on ya with the female troopers. Your just using him to make me jealous......aren't ya baby? I can see it in your eye's, you pretend to deny it, but I know deep down in your heart that ya miss what we had, and wished that I was by your side instead of Mr Machoman who'd rather bounce his pecs in the mirror instead of giving you the love and attention that I do"

"Travis.......stop it" Samantha shot back. "I am not using Chris, and he is not like that. He is a kind and generous man unlike you, and we're about to start a family, and I do not want you ruining it for us with your constant stalking, this has been going on for three years and it stops now"

"Stops, stops?" Travis interjected. " You honestly think I'll stop Sam? No, your the only mare for this stallion. Sure I did hook up with other mares, I even tried experimenting with a stallion at a night club. But no other pony can ever replace you. You my everything Sam, we belong together and I know you feel the same way. You don't need that schmuck, I'm the stallion of your dreams and you know it, I can bring you so much happiness, and our kid would look so much better than that jackass" Travis then began to move forward slightly with a crazed look in his eyes which made Sam both uncomfortable and terrified. "Don't deny it Sam, you know you still love me, Celestia want's us to be together it's written in the stars. I need you, and you need me"

"Travis please, this has gone off.................

"YOU NEED ME!!!!!!" Travis shouted and then gripped onto her left hoof much to her shock and horror, nearly crushing it.

"Travis let go your hurting me!!!!" She screamed.

"STOP REJECTING ME!!!!!!!" Travis roared and gripped onto her arm harder and harder. " What do you want from me woman?! Do you have any idea how much of a mess I was after you dumped me? I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't focus on my studies, all I could think about was you Sam!!! I gave you everything and you had the nerve to replace me with him of all ponies, what do you want from me HUH?! I lost weight, I started going to church, I been taking anger management classes, I even quit drinking, but is that still not enough for you to take me back?! Your mine Sam, no one else's, you belong with me, and only me, I am your true love, I'm your true husband, I'm the one who's allowed to start a family with you, I'm the one who....................

"LET GO OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!" Samantha shouted and then proceeded to smash his face with her wine glass, causing him to lose his grip on her as broken glass and small traces of blood scattered onto the kitchen floor, Sam breathed heavily as tears started to form as she gripped her sore arm as Travis gripped onto his bleeding forehead. " This is why I broke up with you in the first place, you always had these outburst out of nowhere and it frightened me every single time you got like this!!!" She then presented her arm towards him which already had red marks and small traces of blood on it. "And this is a perfect example!...............But I did care about you Travis, and I admit , I do kind of miss the times we spent together. But that's all in the past now, maybe there's a chance things could have been different between us three years ago, but it's too late and you have to respect that. I've moved on, I've found someone who loves me, and you have to accept that. I'm telling you this for the last time you psycho, we're done, and were never getting back together! Now get the hell out of my house or I'll have the cops or even the guard here in seconds!!!!!!!"

Heavy breathing exited Samantha's mouth after her rant towards her ex whom stood in place , utterly shocked at the words that came out of his exes mouth. His heart beat could almost be heard as he remained visibly broken at the fact that Sam rejected his pleas to take hum back for what felt like the hundredth time. A blank expression formed on the stallions face as he stood up slowly, which made the mare feel more and more uneasy. "Never? No.....no......no......... You don't get it, do you bitch?" He began to walk forward slowly. " I've given up too much to be rejected by you again Sam, I will not take no for an answer, not now...............

"Travis " Sam said as she started to back away.

"Not ever again" He continued as his retinas turned a demonic looking red color "Your mine Samantha, you don't belong to anyone else but me. Not that gigachad, not any other stallion, only me"

"Please stop this" Sam replied still terrified.

"I need you Samantha" Travis said as he got closer and closer. " And you need me too"

"Get away from me!!!!" Sam shouted as she found herself backed into a corner.

"Your mine, Samantha" Travis stated as a crazed look formed on his face. " Your mine, your mine, your mine....................................YOUR MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The crazed stallion then lunged forward as the desperate mare let out a blood curdling scream which echoed throughout the entire house, as the bottle of wine tipped over as the light yellowish liquid poured down the edge of the island as Sam's screams could still be heard.

An hour later

The sun has set, indicating that the day was officially over, with many ponies either turning in for the night, or doing some last minute checks before closing up their respected shops. But alas, there were some who weren't in for a nice day tomorrow as the events of an hour ago would take a turn for certain individuals. Over the hill of the residence of Chris and Samantha, we find a royal guard making his way towards the couples house, after receiving a note to head on over to the address the second his shift ended. While the man would have wanted nothing more but to turn in for the night, the serious tone of the letter made it seem like it was an urgent plea to come over as fast as he could. Soon he reached the front door and began to knock.

"Travis? " He called out " Are you in there? I came as soon as I got your note" He then jiggled the knob a bit to find it unlocked, indicating that he was expected to come inside immediately. He then proceeded to step inside, and surveyed the scene that stood before him. The kitchen table was all lopsided and destroyed indicating that there was a struggle, the bottle of wine that originally sat on top of the kitchen island was now on the floor shattered with it's contents splattered all over the floor, the blood stain from Samantha's counterattack was still on the floor as well, but what caught the stallions attention the most, was his friend who stood cradled next to the shattered remains of the kitchen table, with a suspicious red fluid practically covering his hooves.

After a moment of hesitation, the stallion cautiously moved forward towards the broken man. " Travis?............Listen man.........whatever happened, it's gonna be ok, just relax, no need to move. Just tell me..............what....did.....you............do?" The stallion waited for a response from his friend, and soon got one as Travis pointed towards the corner of the Kitchen, the guard then looked towards the direction of where the stallion was pointing too. And nearly screamed in terror at what he was witnessing, there stood the lifeless body of non other than Samantha whom laid near the corner with her body covered in blood with her lifeless eyes looking straight up to the ceiling, but what made this scene a lot more gruesome was her caved in stomach which gave the indication that the baby died as well from the assault an hour ago.

"Mother of Celestia Travis" He said in a terrified tone. " WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

Travis was hesitant to answer , but soon gained the courage as he stammered. " I.............I thought it would have been different this time...................I thought ..................she would take me back this time I, I.................I don't know what came over me Rick, I just....................snapped"

"You more than just snapped man" Rick replied. " You just killed someone, do you know how serious this is? I mean, I always got you out of tickets and such, and bailed ya out whenever you violated their restraining order, but this, this is a dead body man, I don't even have the words to describe how disturbing this is" He then took a glance towards the mares lower regions and noticed something even more disturbing. " Travis...........................Did you have your way with her before you killed her?"

"I WAS DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Travis shouted and tears began to erupt. " Like I said, I thought it would be different this time, I though she would have taken me back. But I was wrong, oh so very wrong. and now look what's happened? Oh my Celestia SAM!!!!!!!!" The stallion then got up and buried his face into his friends chest as he began to sob uncontrollably. " What have I done, I couldn't control myself, I just wanted her back so badly, she was my everything, and now looks what's happened?! No ones ever gonna forgive me for this, I'm gonna be locked up for the rest of my life, or worse, they'll put my ass in the electric chair! I don't know what to do, I'm screwed Rick, I'm fucking screwed!!!!"

Rick looked down at his friend who continued to cry on his chest, while a part of him was utterly terrified and disgusted at the act he committed an hour ago, but despite all that, he was still his friend , and couldn't help but feel pity over him. The stallion couldn't bare to see his best friend either behind bars or executed for the crime he committed. After what felt like an eternity, Rick made his decision. " It.................it's gonna be alright Travis. Actually I know someone who might be able to make this go away" Travis stopped crying for a moment and took a second to look up at his friend.

" *sniff* Ya.......you do?" He sniffed.

"Yes I do" Rick continued. " Remember how I used to role with a pony yakuza gang back during our college days? " Travis gave a nod. " Well the leader of said gang actually specialized in getting rid of bodies if either a turf war or a drug deal went horribly wrong. Even though I long since quit, he still offered me his services If I ever needed his help with something, it's a little risky, but he might just be able to help with this by tonight. If ya have the bits in hoof, I'll circle around the old hideout and ask for his help, that is of your willing to accept it?"

Travis thought for a moment, while he knew it was a bit risky to require help from a gang especially if they're yakuza. He also knew that this might be his only chance to get out of this, as there's no way he'd get out of this mess scott free if he tried to take care of the body himself. After a minute of pondering, the stallion made his decision........................

"Go and get him Rick"
