Chapter 8

A Poisonous End

“AGAIN” Florenza barked her blade leaving my throat as I retrieved my sword my eyes narrowed as I silently watched her. My blade scraped the ground as I predatorily circled her, a smug smile adorned her face. She watched me with intent, her eyes her focus never wavering as I fainted left and right occasionally to try and throw her off. Finally I struck my blade glazing her side as she instinctively rolled to the side slashing at my chest as I leapt back. Using the awkwardness of my retreat she nimbly darted forward her blade jabbing at my throat as I stumbled. Using momentum I was sent sprawling as her leg lashed out striking me in the stomach.

I ducked and rolled backwards my head slapping against the hard concrete as i shakily jumped to my feet. Once again the cat and mouse game played out as we circled like sharks. This time around Florenza struck first going for a quick, swift kill. In a burst of adrenaline my knee came up striking her in the stomach as my sword smacked her upside the head, momentarily dazed I took that moment to place my sword at her throat.

From there Florenza got dirty, the pony pride had been wounded and in turn she planned to repay the favor. Whenever we were in close quarters she never failed to press her breasts against me or straddle me for seconds longer than required. The display quickly got old as I found myself getting more and more frustrated at my lack of concentration. The wicked mare would purposely push out her chest to catch me off guard. She was cunning but in the end it was hardly needed, her skill alone mostly saw to me landing on my ass with a sword pointed at me.

“You have improved dramatically, but you are still a liability on the field you would not last a second in real battle” she growled as she once again motioned for me to pick up the discarded blade. I had at this point had enough and in a fit of frustration, thrown it aside as I turned to walk back to the castle. Florenza gave a shriek of rage as she charged at me ready to show me my place as my body tensed. Seconds slowed down as in a swift movement my hand clamped down around her arm. I slowly crushed her arm as she gave a yelp of pain dropping the blade. She fell to her knees desperately trying to pry me off as I sneered at her.

“Sneaky bitch” I spat as she cried out for me to stop her eyes wide as I paused. My eyes widened as I let go backing away as I dropped to my knees.

“S-sorry” I whispered as the mare rapidly shakes her throbbing wrist.

“No I am sorry I shouldn't have attacked you when your back was turned. I forget sometimes with what you went through, maybe attacking someone with paranoia and ridiculous strength was a bad idea” she chuckled as I helped the beige mare to her feet.

“Water under the bridge” I smiled as we headed back inside. For months now I had trained with Florenza, Luna and Twilight. My skills had greatly increased after only two months as had my control over my emotions. Due to the built up stress of repressing the pain from my flogging as well as incident with Celestia I had been prone to bursts of rage. I still suffer from nasty spikes of pain in my back as well as occasional flashbacks but other than that my all over heath was increasing.

The two of us ate at the mess hall refusing to eat with the princesses as I dove into my meal. Crappy steak and mashed potatoes. With Luna’s night guards being carnivores it meant that I did not have to sacrifice eating meat with a predominantly vegetarian society. I had gained the respect of many of the night guards as was expected with me having impregnated their princesses. In fact I had even become quite friendly with them, it was not unusual for them to sit with me and Florenza.

Florenza of course had been aggressively possessive of me. She had chased off most of the suitors showing intrest in me to my ever growing amusement. The cherry on top was that she tried to deny her actions with poorly thought up excuses and reasons. Dark Heart a surprisingly shy bat pony had quickly found herself in my small circle of friends due to her having been raised by two dads. I had been skeptical until I had met the two stallions.

They had adopted her from an orphanage when she was three years old and had instantly fallen in love with the tiny foal. Both her fathers were gardeners and very good ones at that. She was of course told about my idea and goals and had happily agreed to throw in her support. Hell she was one of the few mares that Florenza actually liked. Though she still kept an eye on her as the mare showed interest in me like many others.

Dark Heart had actually been kind enough to give me training in archery as well as hand to hand combat. Luna being who she was ended up assigning the mare to me as a personal guard along with Stealth Wing. Why none of them could have happy cheery names was beyond me.

Stealth wing was a relatively new bat pony and was very outspoken. Though she possessed a fierce temper and was more stubborn than Florenza. She had to my amusement once called Celestia a cunt whilst we were talking earning my respect. Luckily for her Celestia had not heard her otherwise she would have most likely have the same scars as those on my back. She was fiercely loyal though and was not afraid to argue with others even her superiors. The mare always seemed to avoid punishment by a millimeter.

“Sup bitches” she greeted as I flipped her off. Florenza hated her as she had the habit of pushing her aside to sit next to me. The first conversation she had with me was if I wanted to hit that, indicating to her ass as I had blushed heavily before being dragged away by a fuming Twilight. The lavender unicorn usually wouldn't have cared, but the bat pegasi had interrupted her lesson. Dark heart smiled waving shyly as we went back to the usual routine of talking.

Despite being my worlds equivalent to men they still had female habits. Gossiping and bitching were apparently two that was multidimensional with women.

“So the bitch had the nerve to turn me down, saying that she wasn't into dykes, do I look like a dyke to you” the muscular mare growled as the other two told her no. Stealth wing was by no way girly but she still possessed wicked curves as well as a nice pair of tits to complete the body. “Hey Lachlan do I look like a dyke to you, surely with a pair likes these I can't be right” she barked grabbing my hands as she forced them onto her breasts.

After lunch Dark Heart had be practicing hand to hand combat. I was as usual the first one to strike as I lashed out with a foot aiming for her solar plexus as she blocked. From there the movements became almost robotic, one would attack whilst the other would defend. Though with my inexperience it meant that normally Dark Heart would get the upper hand.

“OOMF” I grunted as the mare pinned me to the ground my body trapped as she roughly pulled my arm behind my back. “Fuck” I growled as she leapt off of me offering me a hand as I gratefully accepted.

“Not bad but you leave yourself to vulnerable, you need to be more cautious” she criticized as I nodded. Once again we circled as I went for a quick blow aiming for her throat as I fainted a leg sweep. The plan went off just as expected as she went to block only to get a fist to the throat as she gagged. The battle quickly came to a close as we ended up in a tie. My arm around her throat whilst her hands roughly grabbed my balls. We called a tie despite the fact that in a real fight she would have won that.

“Well that was a bastard” I groaned massaging my head as Dark Heart gently applied herbs to the countless bruises adorning my chest and back.

“You are doing well but you have to focus more as well as stop putting so much power into your attacks. Your back is still in a weak state and you could seriously hurt yourself. I personally don’t even think you should be training” she fussed as I rolled my eyes at the mare.

“Look I need to get stronger otherwise I am just a target as well as hindrance if one of my friends is attacked.”

“LACHLAN” a voice cried out as I spun on the spot. Stealth wing came charging over to me gasping for breath as she reached us. “Lachlan, blueblood, love poison, Florenza” she panted as my eyes narrowed.

“What is a love poison” I growled as the mare rapidly started to give me a rundown.

Florenza hummed happily as she made her way to the courtyard. She still had a ten minute journey but she was looking forward to seeing Lachlan and how he had improved. The mare had of course seen him not three hours ago but she liked to keep constant tabs on him just to be sure. She trusted Dark Heart but she did not trust her emotions.

The mare had just finished checking on Luna and the two had gotten chatting. Luna had been bustling with excitement with the wedding which was only two weeks away. Despite her jealousy of Luna getting to marry Lachlan she had to admit that Luna was a kind enough mare, despite her prejudice views. She had been a big help in training Lachlan in politics, the fact that nearly half of the guards were hers meant that if she truly joined Lachlan’s cause then so would her portion of the guards.

“NOW” a voice barked as Florenza was grabbed from behind. She was only able to give a muffled scream before a vial full of liquid was forced into her throat. She choked as the liquid trickled down her throat.

“Excellent now the bitch should do what I want” Blue Blood grinned as Florenza glared at him.

“FUCK... YOU” Florenza sneered as the prince smirked.

“Oh you will be in mere minutes” he sneered as Florenza felt her body heating up. Her body shuddered as her eyes glazed over.

“What can I do for you, lover” Florenza purred as her hand gently stroked the stallions face. Blue blood gave a triumph laugh as escorted the more back to his room. Pushing her in the mare giggled as she kissed him on the lips her tongue wrapping around his as he groped her flank.

“Get on your knees” he sneered as she eagerly nodded kneeling in front of him as he undid the buckle of his trousers. “Now suck, slut,” he demanded as the hypnotized mare nodded opening her mouth as she took his member into her mouth.

Unknown to the prince a night guard had seen the show and rushed to get the human who was friends with the enslaved pony. The stallion grunted as the mare continued to blow him her tongue expertly playing with his tip as he pushed her forward. She gave a brief cry in surprise as his entire member was forced into her mouth.

Typical of a stallion a mere thirty seconds later he felt his peak arriving as he pulled out spraying her form as he grunted in satisfaction. The mare was perfect but he only had so much stamina as he decided that he could go another couple of rounds. Pushing her to the ground the stallion placed his flaccid member between her ample breasts.

“Jerk me off slut,” he smirked as once again the mare happily complied. Her fur massaged his royal member as he started to thrust between the mounds of fat. “You like that don't you bitch? Tell me you like it!” he sneered cruelly as the mare cried out her love for him. Her mouth clamped around the tip as she started to suck him off again, the stallion giving a sigh.

“Shit I have to move,” Stealth wing growled as she tore through the corridor her target near as she threw herself out a window. The courtyard rapidly came into view as she landed behind Lachlan screaming out his name as he turns.

‘I hope I was fast enough,’ the bat pony prayed as she explained the situation.

Warning this will be one of the most bloodiest scenes in the fic.

Tearing down the corridor I barely suppressed a roar as the room I was looking for came into view. Two guards stood in front of it and went to bar my entrance as I attacked. Grabbing the first mare by the neck I twisted as her neck snapped cleanly twisting it 180 degrees as she slumped to the ground. I had used so much force that half of the mare’s neck was exposed having burst through the skin. The other mare gave a shrill scream as I latched onto her.

Grinning I started to repeatedly smash her skull into the ground a wet crunch resounding as the more tried to desperately throw me off. Whimpering the mare tried to shield herself as I brought my foot down on her head. A sickening crack sounded as I crushed her skull like an egg. Bits of brain matter and blood pooling around my feet, her eyes having been detached from there socket. Turning to the door I gave a solid kick as the wood shattered before me revealing to me the scene far worse than anything I had endured so far. Blue blood looked up with a look of triumph as he was hilted inside Florenza. Blood trickled from her crotch as I lost it.

In mere milliseconds I had reached the bastards side tearing him off as Florenza cried out in protest. With no mercy I smashed the stallions face against a wall. Blueblood was quickly knocked out as Dark Heart moved in to pin down the poisoned and distraught mare. Stealth wing was in the process of removing the goons for hire. The two mare’s were not actual guards but thugs hired by the cunt.

“Give her the antidote,” I whispered, my face cold as I started to drag the stallion away.

“What are you going to do to him” Dark heart whispered as I gave a sickening smile my eyes filled with malice as I gave a low chuckle. Turning I left the question unanswered as Razor wing had finished her work. The mare had made it look like one of the thugs had attacked the other guard before escaping with blueblood. She even left a hammer and coated it in blood before following me to get rid of the body.

The furnace was run by a dragon that in exchange for gold and gems would heat the machine that kept Canterlot castle warm. She would dice up the mare then feed it to the dragon and pretend that it was deer.

The two night guards had my back and I knew that Dark heart would take care of Florenza. As for the cunt whom I dragged he would not fare so well. I knew that storage closet was out so I would have to store him in a closet and when night came i would take him out to the woods and have a little fun.

“Fuck this bastard is heavy” Stealth wing whispered as Black Heart hissed at her to be quite. I rolled my eyes as we dragged the still unconscious stallion out of the castle. We had barely scraped by the guards. On my back I held an assortment of tools, but they were in no way for fixing anything.

The cries of night animals and crickets was our only source of noise as we trudged through the deep forest. We had to be sure that the screams of the little bastard would not be heard.

“Alright we are at least three miles within Canterlot forest, these parts are avoided due to the forest acting independently a lot like Everfree” Black Heart informed us as we looked at the now awake stallion.

He gave a muffled scream as we dropped his back striking the cold floor as his horn started to glow.

CRACK

Blueblood screamed as I swung a hammer at his horn the instrument snapping the bone in half as blood poured from the wound.

“Ah ah ah, can't have you escaping now can we” I grinned as I nodded to the two mare’s. Stealth wing grabbed a few spikes used for railway tracks as she positioned done over the stallions knee cap. Smiling I raised the hammer as the stallions eyes shrunk.

Crack

The stallion gave a guttural sob as the spike shattered his left kneecap the bone splintering as blood pooled around the area.

“Come on sweetheart we haven't even got to the good part yet” I smiled as I positioned the other spike above right leg. Once again a wet crunch sounded as the stallion howled in pain tears streaking down his face as he thrashed about wildly.

“KEEP HIM PINNED” I roared as the two mares grabbed his shoulder. Grinning I gave a sharp yank pulling the arm from its socket. Not content I grabbed his elbow and with little effort pulled the arm backwards until it caved in his elbow. The pieces of shrapnel that were once solid bone now splintered his arm as it lay at an unnatural angle. Smirking I casually placed a spike on his palm giving a little smile as I drove the spike home.

“It hurts doesn't it, you want it to stop don't you, well, DO YOU” I spat as he gave a pitiful nod. “Do you know that apparently the femur bone if broken is one of the most painful breaks that you can experience,” I smiled with a sick glee. “Black Heart pass me the sledgehammer would you kindly?” I asked sweetly as the mare nodded. Resting my foot on his leg, I brought the blunt weapon down on his thigh. Even with the cloth in his mouth the scream he made caused birds to scatter in fear as I winced.

“Shut the fuck up you piece of shit” I spat backhanding him as he continued to sob. Calming myself I leaned in closer. “I am going to enjoy seeing you die. I hope you know that” I informed the prince as he whimpered.

“Black heart the knife please, its time to end this,” I spoke calm as I looked at the bastard. Florenza was to my relief safe with Twilight who whilst aware of who raped her does not realize that we actually kidnaped him and assumes that it was one of the thugs. Knowing her she will figure it out soon.

Tearing off his trousers I placed the knife at his testicles, my eyes dead as I swiftly yanked the blade up. As if rejuvenated the stallion once again screamed in pain blood running down his mouth as he tried to speak.

“P-please, mer-cy,” he croaked as I snapped my fist slamming into his face as I shattered most of his front teeth.

“Mercy like you gave Florenza?” I asked as I took out a small canister. Pouring its content over the stallion, the words cooking oil could be seen barely by starlight as I struck a match.

“Here is your mercy,” I spat as I stood up dropping the match as I walked away.

A split second passed before the stallion burst into flames, his wails of agony resounding around the forest as we watched with grim satisfaction. The pinned flailing form of the once proud prince brought a warped smile to my face as justice was served.

“Are you okay” Stealth asked placing a gentle hand on my shoulder as I nodded solemnly, as we watched the still form of Blueblood burn. I felt numb in the inside as if a lost of innocence had occurred. I had never killed before but what scared me was that I had enjoyed it! Florenza’s Rapist had been brought to justice and now he would never hurt her again.

“Why do I feel so empty” I questioned as Dark heart winced.

“We all do after our first kill. Lachlan what you did could get us all killed but I speak for the two of us when we say that our lips are sealed” she smiled as I gave her a nod.

After the flames had gone out we buried him hacking the body parts up and separately burying them so no one would recognize him. The grim task carried out we made our way back.

“Going somewhere” a voice hissed as we froze. The tall form of princess Luna came into view as she stepped into the moonlight. Her eyes were narrowed as she examined us. “I see that you have finished burying my nephew” the statement left us with a feeling of dread. “Did anyone see you” she asked as we looked at her in shock.

“N-no?” I stuttered as she gave to our horror a small smile.

“Good, I heard what happened, Lachlan I am sorry about what happened. That little bastard was always a sick one” she growled as I tried to comprehend what she was saying. “Come I will teleport you all back, it will be less suspicious as opposed to you three walking out of the forest at this hour” she smiled.

We found ourselves in Luna’s private quarters as she motioned for us to sit down. With a quick spell all traces of dirt and blood were washed from our bodies.

“Your majesty, prince blueblood is missing” A mare cried from outside forcing the door open as Luna expertly gave a look of shock.

“WHAT?! Then why are you doing standing here send out search teams I want my nephew found” she ordered as the guard hastily retreated. “You three best go see how Florenza is doing,” she suggested as we nodded.

Walking down the silent corridor I felt my heart hammering against my chest, I felt physically ill as I feared to walk into the ward. Gulping I gently pushed the door open my body tensing as I caught sight of Twilight. I was unsurprised that the rest of the group was present Fluttershy gently speaking with Florenza as Rainbow Dash paced back and forth. Rarity gave me a gentle smile as I made my way over.

“Florenza” I greeted gently as the mare flinched her eyes locking onto me as I froze. Gut wrenching dread filled me as her eyes showed nothing but fear as she shied away from me. “Flo, its me” I whispered as she gave a small whimper her eyes tearing up as Applejack blocked my path.

“If I were you partner, I would leave,” she encouraged gently patting me on the back as I solemnly nodded. Dark Heart and Stealth Wing were permitted to stay as I was kicked out. Any satisfaction at Blue Bloods death was shattered as I wanted nothing more than to reanimate him and kill him all over again.

Tears spilled from my eyes as my emotional barrier crumbled. I could not prevent a sob escaping my lips, as I tried to reign in my emotions. I felt weak as I fled wanting to escape the mare that I had failed. Florenza soulless eyes, crushed all feelings other than pain as my fist slammed into a wall tearing a chunk out of it as I cried openly.

Gentle arms embraced me as I jumped, my body tensing as the mysterious pony held me close.

“Easy Lachlan, ‘tis but I” Luna gently crooned as I openly sobbed clutching to her like a life raft as I expelled the grief and hatred bottled up in me. No words passed between us as the silent truce allowed us to take comfort in the other. “I am sorry, I never thought that my nephew would try such a thing” Luna whispered.

I stepped away my eyes cold as the emotional shield was resurrected.

“No one will ever hurt my friends again, I will kill any who threaten them” I spat rage seeping though as I spun around retreating from the mare as I went to blow off steam.

Author's Note

the death of blue blood is kind of weak but it was never the main focus of the story. I will go back later and give it a polish. Remeber that Lachlan isn't going to be creative when he is grief stricken all he cares about is torture.
