CYOA Badluck Femanon Ch 10

Chapter 10

 

>Wait.

>Mara's threatening to kill you?

>He wouldn't dare, would he?

>Hurt you, maybe.

>Like right now.

>But not kill.

>Twilight and Luna are on edge.

>Horns glowing.

>Celestia isn't pleased.

>"Twilight, take Luna away. Now."

>"Sister, you can't-"

>"Now."

>After a moment, you hear footsteps walking away.

>Celestia reluctantly sits within arms reach.

"P-princess, he's n-not go-going-"

>Mara slams into you, hard.

>You scream.

>"Anonymous..."

>Celestia doesn't make any moves.

>"Anonymous, I'm sorry, but I can't risk hurting you."

"He-he's bluffing!"

>You take a deep breath.

>You lean into his blade to prove a point.

"I've ne-nearly killed myself se-several times, and Mara has s-stopped me. He wants me al-live. His threats aren't worth shit, h-he's bluffi-."

>You feel the sharp edge nick your skin and jerk away.

>Shit, that hurt.

>A drop of blood starts rolling down your neck.

>"Sorry Anny, you were saying?"

>"Enough!"

>Celestia yells.

>"I am not making any movements. Do not harm her further."

 

>"Good girl."

>Mara chuckles to himself.

>You shoot the smug incubus a hate filled look.

"I've had enough of this..."

>"Hm?"

>You close your eyes.

>Your fate belongs to you, not him.

>You lunge forward into his claw, bracing for the end.

>"Anonymous no!"

 

>You wince as it scrapes the side of your neck.

>It's a small cut.

>What?

>What happened?

>You should have slit your throat with that.

>Mara pulled his claw out of the way last second.

>"Shit, seriously? How many times do I have to say it? I can read your mind, damn it!"

>You feel some blood trickling down your neck.

>You shudder.

>And start crying.

>"Princess, be a dear and patch this up."

>Celestia is right next to you, hoof against your forehead.

>"Anonymous, please... be patient."

>You feel warmth radiate around your body.

>The cut sears in pain for just a moment.

>"Thank you. Now sit your cute sunny butt over by the wall there."

 

>Celestia slowly backs away to the wall, as ordered.

>A stream of tears finds their way down your face.

"Princess, why are y-you-... just l-let me die! I can't d-do this..."

>"Anon, I'm here to help you. Trust me. You can't give up hope just yet."

>Trust her?

>Two years ago, you trusted that she'd find out how you arrived here.

>That she'd send you back home.

>That you'd return to your life, and live happily ever after.

>You don't know how much trust you can place in her.

>Or if you can trust her any longer.

>"Anon doesn't seem to have much faith left in you Princess."

>Fucking Mara.

>You sob and lay there, taking all he's giving you.

 

>Mara gives one final bang.

>It sends you haywire.

>Caught between a mix of pain, fear, and ecstasy.

>As he slowly pulls his rod out of you, you breathe a sigh.

>You aren't relieved.

>More scared than relieved.

>You move away from him and slide off the table.

>Your legs give out underneath you, making you fall with a loud thump.

>You groan.

>Celestia immediately rushes to your aid, lifting you up into the air with her magic.

>She cradles you in the crook of her wings.

>"It's alright Anonymous. It's over now."

>She nuzzles you softly.

>You say nothing.

>"It's far from over. She knows it."

>Mara smirks.

>"No, this ends now. Today. Spirit,  you are no longer welcome here."

>"What are you going to do? Attack me? Kill me? I'm already dead!"

>His body winks away.

>You feel Celestia's body grow warm.

>"No... I'm not going to attack you. But as long as Anon is in my company, you will not touch her."

>Mara chuckles.

>Even though he's ghostly, unseen, you can feel his presence inching towards you.

>You were right.

>You feel something slide up your back.

>The sun princess whips around, striking Mara's gaseous form with her horn.

>Mara screams.

>You watch as his smoke swirls violently.

>His body turns opaque.

>What's happening?

>Before long, you see a small colt beside you.

>He looks down at himself in disbelief.

>"What did you do?"

>He hisses and leaps at you.

>Celestia growls, swatting him back down with her wing.

>"Binding. Spell."

 

>You blink.

>Mara?

>He slowly picks himself up.

>His body is weak.

>You can't believe it.

>This nightmare.

>It's finally over.

>You're speechless.

>Or rather, your voice isn't working properly.

>You wrap your arms around Celestia's neck, giving her the biggest, grandest, most forceful hug you can possibly muster.

>She lifts you and places you in her arms.

>You bury your face into her shoulder.

>"I told you that you could trust me."

>She says softly.

>You shed tears.

>You would cry buckets if you could.

>Celestia turns towards the little colt on the ground.

>"You little bitch. What'd you do to me?"

>"As I said before, a binding spell."

>Mara goes silent.

>"It's only temporary, but it traps your spiritual essence to a living form. Binds it to that living thing. You are very lucky."

>"Lucky? LUCKY?"

>He roars.

>"I'm a fucking colt! How am I lucky?"

>"Due to whatever magic Chrysalis gave you, you have the power to transform body. That is why you are a colt. Had you not been given that magic, you'd be bound to something else. I would be much happier seeing you bound to a blade of grass, but this will have to do for now."

>You turn and look at the colt.

>He looks pitiful.

>You look up at Celestia.

"Now? Temporary?"

>Doubt fills your mind.

>Celestia nods.

>"This spell is very advanced. I'm afraid only I and my sister are of a high enough level to be able to use it."

>Your spirit is crushed.

>"I'm sorry it can't be permanent. But there's nothing stopping myself or my sister from recasting the spell..."

>Your fears calm down slightly.

>It's not ideal, but you're safe.

>Celestia gently pats your back.

>"Which means, spirit, that this is over. You are no longer permitted to be in this land. I hereby banish you from Ponyville, Canterlot, the Crystal Empire, Manehattan, and all the locations of Equestria."
