CYOA Badluck Femanon Ch 2

Chapter 2

 

>"Did you know there are several types of dreaming?"

>You look at Twilight, disinterestedly.

"You mean like nightmares and stuff?"

>"No. I mean, there are multiple ways you can dream."

>She hands you the book.

>You humor her and pretend to read.

>"There's lucid dreaming, where you are in a state where you're self-aware. You realize you're dreaming and have complete control over the events that happen within the dream. You could do anything you wanted."

>Lucid dreaming huh? That sounds kinda interesting.

>"There's also ordinary dreams, where something that couldn't happen in real life happens within your mind. Which I'm sure you've had."

>Obviously.

>"And then there's noctambulism. Sleepwalking. Your brain converts outside stimuli into the dream world, and you physically interact with real world while you dream. Any time something happens to you physically, it translates to the dream world."

>You wonder how a nightmare could affect sleepwalking.

>"It's really interesting. Speaking of interesting, you'll be happy to know that I've gotten my first book published!"

 

>She drops a large book with a thud.

"A Collection of Observations of the Mythically Impossible?"

>"It's my research notes on you."

>You look at her.

>"Everything I've observed about you, and how it compares to myths about strange bipedal creatures. And ponies even."

>The book is a good four inches thick.

>This has to have been at least a year's worth of studies.

>"6 months of hard work, and I'm pretty satisfied with the results."

>6 months?

>You feel kinda flattered.

>You flip through the book.

>You spot a diagram of you and several other photos.

>Ones that you don't remember being taken.

>You're not flattered any more.

>Mostly violated.

 

>"I hope you don't mind the pictures. I've made sure to cut off your face so you aren't identified."

>You blink.

"Twilight, I'm the only human in all of Equestria."

>"And?"

"The only human that you could have gotten these photos from?"

>Twilight tilts her head for a moment.

>Suddenly it hits her.

>"Oh... right. I see your point."

>You keep flipping through the book.

"I-I don't really mind. It's just, you could have asked-"

>Your eyes fall onto a page.

Human anatomy.

"That's not me, is it?"

>Twilight quickly snatches the book from you.

>"Th-that- this... this was for science, see?"

>You run a hand through your hair in frustration.

>"It's a limited run anyways. There are only 50 copies."

>You stare at her.

"Fine. Whatever.'

 

>"You aren't angry?"

>You sigh.

"No."

>Twilight brings a crate over.

>"They're shipping today. I can edit them if you'd like."

>You shake your head.

"It's your first book. Ship it. I don't care."

>Twilight's face lights up.

>"Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"

>She pulls you into a tight hug.

>You reluctantly hug her back.

>You don't have the heart to kill her happiness right now.

>You sigh.

>It's not every day that a friend gets their book published and printed.

>After a few moments, you decide to let go.

>Twilight isn't letting go.

>Her grip is tightening around you.

"Twilight?"

>"Thankyouthankyouthankyou..."

>She keeps repeating it over and over.

"Twilight, I can't... breathe."

>You try and push her away.

>You start hearing her voice change.

>It gets deeper.

>Darker.

"T-twilight?"

 

>You stare at Twilight.

>She's still got a deathgrip on you.

>With her hooves still on your shoulders, she pulls away.

>You see her face.

>Twilight's eyes are empty.

>Black.

>Out of reflex, you try to shove her away.

>She won't let go.

>You punch her in the face.

>She finally lets go.

>You scramble away from her.

>She picks herself up.

>Or rather, unnaturally floats herself up.

"Tw-Twilight?"

>You don't even know why you're asking.

>This black-eyed demon isn't the friend you know and love.

>You start running.

 

>The front door is locked.

>All of the lights in the library go dark.

>Fuck.

>You see a faint glow chasing you.

>Twilight's voice is scary demonic.

>You take a few deep breaths before running around her to the back door.

>Locked.

"Shit."

>You start running up the stairs.

>There has to be a way out.

>Maybe the balcony.

>You scramble towards the door.

>It's locked.

>You can hear Twilight's voice from the base of the stairs.

>Fuck, no, this is not happening.

>You find a potted plant and chuck it through the glass balcony door.

>It shatters everywhere.

>You carefully step through and look around.

>All of Ponyville is in a moonless night, shrouded in darkness.

>You look down.

>The ground is about a 20 foot drop.

>There's a pine tree a couple of feet from the balcony though.

>If you jump over, you could climb down.

>Twilight's chant grows louder by the second.

>You can't wait around.

>You climb on the balcony ledge and leap to the

tree.

>You manage to get two hands securely on a branch.

>CRACK

>The tree branch is starting to split.

>Fuck.

>You carefully position yourself and push off the branch to a lower one.

>You repeat this twice more.

>The ground is still a 12 foot drop.

>You drop down, rolling as you land.

>You look up and see Twilight staring at the black sky.

>"DARKNESS. HAHAHAHA."

>You start running as far away from her as you can.

 

>Ponyville is completely empty.

>Except for you and Twilight.

>She's floating in the night sky, following you.

>How could this have happened?

>Why is Twilight suddenly a demon?

>Why is she after you?

>You stumble on a rock and fall.

>This is crazy, it just can't be happening.

>Twilight is right above you.

>Wait a second.

>This can't be happening.

>It can't.

>People don't just up and transform to demons.

>This is crazy. It's not real. It can't be.

>You watch a Twilight floats down to you.

>She places a hoof on your shoulder.

>Her icy grip sends chills down your back.

>"THANK YOU."

>This is a dream.

>It's a dream.

>She can't hurt you.

>You lock eyes with her soulless ones.

>Her mouth is locked in a creepy forced smile.

"Twi... you remember what you said about lucid dreaming?"

>"HAHAHAHA."

"Snap out of it. Turn back into the Twilight I know."

>You see her eyes slowly fade from the black.

>"A-anon?"

"Twilight!"

>Twilight looks at you confused. And scared.

"It's alright Twilight."

>"You saved me."

>You nod.

>"Thank you."

>Her eyes flash to black immediately.

>She stabs you with her horn, over and over.

>You scream as each motion punctures your stomach, ripping you open.

>You're not supposed to feel pain in a dream.

>But you definitely feel it.

>It feels real.

>Like you're dying.

>With one final scream, you break from your slumber.

 

>You watch in fear as the mara spirit incubus locks eyes with you.

>You're floating above the ground.

>The incubus has a ghostly claw hand inside of your body.

>Phased through your body.

>Right in your stomach.

>You try to move, but a huge wave of pressure shoves you down.

>The incubus pulls his hand out carefully.

>You don't feel anything.

>There isn't any gash or wound.

>You sigh under your breath.

>The mara looks back at you.

>It slides a claw down your shirt, leaving a small tear down the collar.

>"THANK YOU."

>Before you could even scream, it disappeared in a wink.

 

>Gravity takes over.

>You fall to the ground with a loud thud.

>A bit of rock from the ceiling comes loose and falls on your face, hitting your nose.

>Fuck that hurt.

>You pull your hands up to your face.

>You've definitely got a nosebleed.

>Nothing seems to be broken though.

>You sit in silence for a moment.

>You can move.

>You're in the cave just as before.

>There's some dry mossy stuff on the floor, cushioning you.

>The walls of the cave are a steely blue.

>Faint ambient light is bouncing around, but there isn't any source of light anywhere.

>No entrances.

>No exits.

>You shudder at the thought.

>You fold your arms over themselves and sit upright.

>You hear some muffled footsteps from behind you.

>It's Chrysalis.

>"He likes you."

>Likes?

>"Mara. He likes you. He was playing with you, instead of just suddenly indulging in your body."

"... what does that mean?"

>"It means he's going to stay. He'll be back. And he'll continue to torture your dreams until you can endure the pain. And then he'll steal your precious first."

"Wh-what? What do you- h-how?"

>Chrysalis drops a book in front of you.

>Twilight's book.

>The one from your dream.

>The one from a memory.

>Nevermind Twilight documented that you were a virgin, Chrysalis knows everything there is to know about you.

>You can't attack her.

>She has magic.

>And she knows how vulnerable humans are.

>It'd be suicide.

 

>You guess that the wave of pressure you felt earlier was from her.

>That she cast some sort of spell that prevents you from moving.

"Why are you doing this to me? What do you want?"

>"Weren't you listening before? I told you already. Love."

>You scowl at the word.

"What are you going to do with all of it?"

>"Love?"

>A pair of changelings appear on the other side of the cave.

>They walk to you and drop bowls of water and berries.

>"We are changelings. We feed on the love and desire to be loved. It strengthens us. Gives us power."

>The changelings approach Chrysalis.

>As they do, the grow larger.

>Cleaner.

>Holes in their body start to mend.

>Not all of them, but a lot.

>"As you can plainly see, we need love to survive and you are an unlimited supply."

 

>Survival.

>That's it?

>That's why you're becoming their fucking never-ending buffet of love, being subject to torture?

"Why the mara? Why the incubus?"

>"The incubus is for you!"

>What?

>"Surely you didn't think we wouldn't make it worth your while?"

>Huh?

>Worth your while?

>You stare at her.

>"We want to keep you all to ourselves so you can feed us. Forever. We can nourish you so you stay healthy, but the problem was keeping you here. You would try to run. We couldn't think of any way to keep you in our presence. Until.."

>You don't like where this is going.

>"I came across a shrine the other day. It had sealed away the mara spirit. And then it hit me."

>What is she talking about?

"The mara spirit hit you?"

>She laughs.

>"Dearie, let's just say that being visited by an incubus is very... nice."

>You blink.

>Oh.

>Hell.

>No.

>"Being visited is usually a one-time occurrence. But this little guy had been bottled up for so long. He has a thirst, and lo and behold... a human is the only one to quench it. He, like us, needs a lot of loving."

"You sick bitch... you wont get away with this."

 

>You feel anger building inside you.

>You were so caught up in what you were destined to do and this happened?

>You sure as hell are not going to be a toy for the rest of your life.

>Or an endless meal either.

>Before you could stand up and lash out, the two changelings pick you up and drag you with them.

>Chrysalis laughs to herself.

>"Come now. We must prepare you."

"Do you really think I'm just going to take this lying down?"

>"Well, you'll be asleep for most of the time. So yes."

>You can't even form words and start uttering angry random syllables.

>"Honey, I know it's less than ideal for you. But once you are with Mara, he will make you reconsider."

"Fuck. You."

>"It'll be him that fucks you."

"I- Twilight. The others, they will look for me. And stop you."

>Chrysalis laughs.

>A maniacal, hysterical laugh.

>For several minutes.

>"Anonymous, please. Why do you think that I'm doing all of this? All of this plotting, this scheming... I'm doing a service to the ponies."

>You shoot her a confused look.

>"I've tried stealing love away from those ponies, and it was far from pleasant. I've even gone as far as kidnapping their own. But none of it worked in the end."

"What are you talking about?"

>You wince at your stuttering voice.

>"Changelings are a problem to ponies. With this current situation, ponies won't ever have to deal with us again. We can become our own people and never worry ever again."

>Huh?

>"Not even Twilight Sparkle and her ragtag group of friends with their Elements of Harmonious Crap would save you now, if it meant risking the safety of all ponies in Equestria."

 

>Your heart sinks.

>Chrysalis laughs and walks away.

>The two changelings drag you into a large cavernous room.

>Half the room is filled with a spring of water.

>Without a word, they begin ripping off your shirt.

>You try to shove them away.

>They're too strong.

>They pin you down and strip you clean.

>They toss you into the water.

>You close your eyes and sink lower into the water, defeated.

>Chrysalis has you beat.

>She'll have you turned into a plaything by the day's end.

>You watch as bubbles leave your mouth and go to the surface.

>There doesn't seem to be any other way out of this mess.

>You close your eyes.

>Drowning doesn't' seem so bad.

>At least it's not painful.

>You breath out the rest of the air inside your body and let the end come.

>Every second makes you feel dizzy.

>Your lungs start to itch.

>You fight the urge to breathe in, but it's hopeless.

>You know it'll happen... might as well take it into your own hands.

>You open your mouth and breathe. Hard.

>Water fills in your chest.

>Mind goes numb.

>You hope whatever comes next is peaceful.

 

>Your body flops on the hard cave floor.

>You choke and cough up water.

>What happened?

>You were drowning.

>The changelings, there's no way they could have gotten to you in time.

>You see a black, holed hoof stomp in front of you.

>"Mara saved you. Don't look so disappointed."

>Chrysalis seems pissed.

>"He's watching your every move. He won't let you go. You belong to him now. And these two?"

>She points to the changelings beside her.

>"They'll be with you night and day."

>She grabs you by your hair.

>"Try anything like that again and every waking moment will be hell. Every dream you have will start off in chaos and turn into an abyss of torture. Do I make myself clear?"

>You nod.

>"Good. Dry her off and give her a bed."

>The changelings start patting you dry with some sort of leaf material.

>You want to cry.

>You can't leave this hell.

 

>Before long, you're on a bed.

>It's crude, but it's an actual a bed.

>The posts are poorly carved from a few tree stumps.

>The mattress is literally a plateau of the moss from before.

>There's an actual pillow there, probably stolen.

>You stare at the bed before you.

>It's the throne of fate

>The place of your impending doom.

>Your eyes are stinging from fighting back tears.

>You can't fight it back any longer.

>You let a tear fall down your face.

>A changeling pushes you onto the bed and sprays a blue powder at your face.

>The room starts fading.
