(FR) A Darker Home - Part 4

A Darker Home 4

 

"Maybe we should try to leave the doors that we've explored open... just so we know where we have been."

>"Probably not a bad idea Anon." says Twilight.

>After what was just witnessed, everyone seems to be in fairly high spirits.

>Twilight could be onto something, if the group cleared the house of the other spirits, maybe Gertude won't have a reason to stay.

>The house did feel a little bit warmer, and a little less oppressive.

>This doesn't stop you from keeping your guard up as you make your way accross the hallway to the next closed door.

>Now that it was completely black outside, Twilight was the sole source of light in the house, making the tight doorways and halls feel like cages.

>The areas unlit by Twilight's magic feel like endless voids of space.

>The blackness in this house didn't just feel like being in the dark.

>If it were that, you could handle it.

>Being surrounded by the blackness... felt like you were being watched.

>Looking at the girls, you nod to them.

"Be ready for anything."

>You open the door slowly, letting the glow from Twilight's horn fill the room

>The door creaks open slowly, only showing a foot of the room at a time.

>This room also had a tiled floor, and seemed to be one of the dirtiest rooms in the house yet.

>A strange odor filled the room as you sneak your way inside.

"What's that smell?" You say to no one in-particular.

>You hear the girls make their way in too, judging by the sound of hoofsteps on tile.

>As Twilight makes her way into the room, more fixtures begin to take shape.

>An oven, a sink with dirty dishes, and counter tops begin to take shape in the darkness.

>A large brown stain tints the color of the tiles within a few feet of the sink.

>On the counter top, remains of what may have once been food is stuck to the surface.

>Around the food is many different forms of cutting trays, utensils, and cooking supplies.

>However, what grabs your eye is a large, rusted butcher knife.

>You stroll over to it, and pick it up with a swift hand.

>>Recommended Listening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk25iAmpfME

>It's light, and upon closer inspection, doesn't seem so bad.

>In fact, it hardily seems rusted at all.

>The blade shines from the sunlight that streams in through a nearby window.

>Looking around the room, you see a young filly cleaning dishes.

>She's vibrant for such a little filly, and she seems to be reading while she works, based on the story she is reading out loud.

>"As Daring Doo trec... trekked through the t-tropical jungle"

>That's when she entered the room.

>With a long silver mane, and a large baseball bat held in her mouth.

>She seemed to be angry and walking straight towards the little filly.

>"... the wet heat s-sapped her energy and sl... slowed her every step."

>You can't let this happen.

>Holding the knife firmly in your hand, you charge towards your rapist

>"If only she could escape this oppon... oppressive atmosphere...

"Don't you fucking touch her!"

>An invisible force forces you to stop... and you are unable to move.

>"and fly up into the cool blue sky."

>You watch helplessly as the bat came down full force on the filly's head.

>The filly falls off her stepstool, and onto the ground, where she lays lifeless.

>Darkness floods the room again, as your eyes try to adjust to the violet magic around you.

>Fluttershy is collapsed in front of you, shaking in pure terror

>You drop the knife from your hand, which is raised up above your head.

>The knife breaks a tile as it connects with the floor.

>"Anon... is it... over?"

"I... think so."

>"What was it this time."

"It was her... and she was attacking this little filly."

>You lean down to help Fluttershy up, but she slowly gets up on her own, watching you carefully.

"She was reading a book... I think it was a Daring Doo book, while she was doing dishes."

>Twilight nods carefully.

"Then, she just came in... with a bat, and... she didn't even see it coming."

>The gravity of what you just saw begins to weigh down on you.

>You fall to your knees, remembering how she looked on the floor.

>Her eyes stared off at something that you couldn't see.

>Something that wasn't in the room.

>Covering your face in your hands, you feel a hoof being put on your shoulder.

>"It's okay...."

>You nod your head.

>"It doesn't hurt anymore."

>You open your eyes again, and turn around to see another faded filly standing behind you.

>Giving her a light smile, a thought occurs to you.

"Why did you stop hiding?"

>"I was in the knife, but I wanted you to see something first before I came out."

>She looks down at the ground, and kicks the tiles with a ghostly hoof.

>"I didn't think what I would show you would make you try to hurt somepony... I'm sorry."

>Fluttershy steps forward.

>"I-it's okay. I-I'll be fine."

>You give the back of her ears a quick scratch.

"Sorry Fluttershy."

>The filly continues staring at the ground.

>"Do you want to know what I did to make her do that?"

>You turn to face her completely, and try to place your hand on her.

>Surprisingly, her form is solid, despite it's looks.

"Only if you want to share."

>She gives a heavy sigh.

>"Gertrude always hated it when I read. We always had to be absolutely quiet whenever we weren't in class."

>"Then later on, we weren't even allowed to do that. So, a lot of us began to have trouble reading, since we couldn't sound out the words."

>Twilight slowly makes her way over to the filly and sits down.

>"So, whenever I would do dishes, I would try to read out loud, hoping that the sound of the water would hide my reading.

>Fluttershy nudges you, and hands you what looks to be an old dusty book.

>"I always loved reading, so I tried to read whenever I got the chance, and even began to take some risks. One day I got caught, and she warned me that I was only allowed to read in class."

>Twilight's eyes are locked on the filly, the filly begins to talk directly to Twilight.

>"But... I just couldn't stop.... I just couldn't."

>"You needed to know how it ended...." says Twilight understandingly.

>The filly begins to slowly sob.

>You wipe the dust off of the book.

"Daring Doo, and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue."

>Her eyes light up a little bit.

>You hand the book to Twilight, knowing that this is her territory.

>"Now tell me... where did you last leave off?"

>Some time passes as you sit in the room with Twilight, Fluttershy and the little filly, listening to Twilight read.

>The book isn't massive, but for a beginner reader, it could definitely be difficult.

>Twilight knew just all of the points to change her voice to make things sound more dramatic.

>She even gave the characters different voices.

>The little filly was just eating it all up.

>"And so, with Ahuizotl defeated and the Sapphire Statue secured, the world was safe and sound once again. Thanks to Daring Doo!"

>Twilight closes the book and gives the filly a deep smile.

>"That was amazing! Is there more? I need to know what happens next!"

>"Of course there is! This book is a classic."

>"But how will I read them?"

>The three of you pause.

>>Reccommened Listening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qycqF1CWcXg

>Twilight is the first to speak up.

>"Well... maybe, you will be able to find them... up there."

>She motions to the sky with a hoof, but you all know what she means.

>"Does that mean... that I will be able to read? I won't be hit for it?"

>Twilight nods with a gentle smile.

>"You will never be hit up there."

>The kitchen door opens slowly, bathing the room in white light.

>An yellowish mare with dark hair walks out of the doorway, and moves beside you.

>She kneels down to the little filly's level, and gives her a wide smile.

>"Hey there kiddo. What's your name?"

>Twilight's eyes and mouth widen a little bit.

>"My name is Melody... What's your name?"

>"I'm Daring... and I was told that you are a pretty cool little filly."

>Her eyes widen, and you can see the color slowly return to the filly's coat.

>"D-Daring... Doo?"

>Daring Doo smiles down at the little filly.

>"The one and only!"

>Her hair slowly begins to turn into a beautiful shade of yellow.

>"But I thought that you were in the book..."

>"That doesn't mean I'm not real kiddo. I'm right here. Inside you."

>Daring takes her hoof, and points it to the filly's head.

>Her eyes light up as she begins to believe what she is seeing.

>"Come on girl! Wanna go on an adventure?"

>Daring takes her signature hat and puts it on Melody's head as she wipes tears out of her eyes.

>"Yes... Yes! Let's go on an adventure!"

>Daring takes Melody and puts her on her back.

>"Thank you... Twilight... Anon... Fluttershy. I hope you can find my friends. Please help them... and listen to them."

>You nod to her, as the door slowly closes behind Melody as she begins a chapter of a brand new adventure.

>>Please pause your music.

 

>The three of you rise to your feet, with a feeling of warmth in your hearts.

>Whatever force was helping you with these fillies tonight, really knew what it was doing.

>The three of you make your way into the hallway, but you feel a warm breath on the back of your neck.

>You turn around, but find nothing.

>A whisper fills your ears.

>"If you fight it, you will regret it."

>A shiver runs up your spine as you move quickly to rejoin the others.

>You wipe a drip of sweat from your forehead.

"N-next room guys?"

>Twilight returns to her serious attitude and nods her head.

>The door knob feels cold in your hand, and a bad vibe tugs at the hair behind your neck.

>You rip the door open to find a closet filled with boxes and boxes of items.

"Twilight, could you give us a little more light?

>"Well... I can focus it, but lets not do it for long."

>The light behind Twilight begins to fade as a cone of light fills the room.

>You step into the closet as the violet light fills the room.

>Different boxes of food, cleaning supplies, kitchen necessities, and dining utensils fill the closet, but there isn't really anything of note in here.

"Well, that's disappointing."

>Stepping out of the closet, the hallway feels much colder and the darkness feels thicker.

"Twilight, change your light back..."

>"Okay, just a second."

>The light begins to slowly return to it's normal glow.

>You begin to be able to see your hands again, but what you can't see... is Fluttershy.

>Oh no.

"Fluttershy... where are you?"

>Looking up and down the hallway reveals no answers.

>You make your way to the unexplored section of the hallway when you see a slightly open door, and a light moan.

>Looking at Twilight, you see the worry in her eyes.

>Nodding, you enter the room slowly.

>>Recommended music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU_s8D6cI9M

>The door closes behind you.

>Turning around, you try to open it, but it won't budge.

>Placing your back against the door, you turn to face the pitch-black.

>A candle lights itself from the center of the room, then from the corners, and slowly across the whole room.

>This has to be one of the most ornate master bedrooms that you have ever seen.

>The bed is lined with curtains, and a large rug covers the floor.

>Weapons and blunt objects line the walls, each with their own picture of a little filly.

>Next to a wooden bat, you see a picture of Melody.

>Near a small knife, sat a picture of the filly from the bathroom.

>Hate and anger begins to fill your insides as a light illuminates the scene inside of the curtains.

>Two ponies seem to be locked in a loving embrace, but one of them is fighting to get away.

>No sound emanates from the curtains, but you can hear the mattress squeak and see wings flapping in an attempt to escape.

>By the time you reach the bedside, the attacker pony seems to be gone, and the pegasus seems to have given up or calmed down.

>You grab a curtain cautiously.

>The pegasus straightens it's wings and lays down on the bed.

>Opening the curtain, Fluttershy lays sprawled out on the bed, giving you bedroom eyes.

>"Hey there Anon... looks like you found a keeper right here..."

>Her voice sounds nothing like Fluttershy.

"Get out of her."

>She sits up on the bed and brings a hoof to your face.

>"But then... we couldn't have any fun now could we."

"No, I refuse to do that to her. This is sick."

>She grabs a knife from under a pillow and holds it to her neck.

>You freeze.

>"Oh... now I have your attention... I'll live, but she might not be so lucky now would she?"

>The room fills with silence.

>"Come in Anon... it's time to have a little fun..."

>You begrudgingly crawl onto the bed, and shut the curtain as the impostor pats the spot next to her.

>"Now hold on. Don't you move a muscle..."

>She slowly lifts your shirt off of you, and begins to kiss your chest.

>You have to admit that if this were under different terms with the real Fluttershy, this might be pretty nice.

>If you stay strong, maybe it could be a reality one day.

>Her body is cold, too cold for something living as she moves her way down to your pants.

>She rubs her hoof on your limp member.

>"Aww... not enjoying yourself? Maybe I can get some help from my guest..."

>"O-oh... Anon... I love you soo much..."

>The sound of Fluttershy's voice rings bells in your ears.

>Snap out of it!

>You have to keep perspective.

>This isn't Fluttershy.

>She unzips your pants and pulls them down to reveal your hardening staff.

>"O-oh... m-my... it's so big..."

>You look away as she wraps her lips around your member.

>Feeling her tongue wrapping around you sends guilty signals of pleasure through your body.

>Stay focused!

>If you could just get the knife away from her, maybe you can try and get her out of Fluttershy.

>She takes a hoof to begin rubbing your shaft while she pays attention to your head.

>Suddenly you get an idea.

"Oh... yeah! I'm almost there... oh Shy...."

>You aren't sure if the imposter's face began to turn red, or if it was the true host, but her attention begins to focus on the task at hand.

>"Cum for me Anon... Cum for momma!"

>Beginning to fake the beginning of your orgasm, you arch your back.

>Then with all your might, push forward to headbutt Gertrude.

>Stars fill your vision as you try to wrestle the knife out of the dazed pegasus's hoof.

>Blood begins to trail out of your hand, but you manage to grab it.

>Cutting a hole in the curtain, you jump out of the bed and Stab the weapon as deep into the wall as possible.

>As you turn around, you see a yellow blur just before you are tackled to the ground.

>Gertrude must have underestimated your strength without her magic, as you easily overpower her and put her in a choke hold.

>You watch as she strains to breath underneath you.

>"That's right.... kill me..."

>You wait until she begins to stop fighting.

>Fluttershy's eyes redialate.

>You take a deep breath, and do everything you can to blow the fresh air back into her lungs.

>She coughs and gasps for air, and rolls across the floor.

>Twilight bashes through the door, blowing out all the candles.

>"What happened!"

>You look down at your naked form, and pull your pants up.

"I think she possessed Fluttershy."

>Twilight turns her gaze to Fluttershy, who is staring at the floor.

>"How do we know if this is Fluttershy."

>"She is."

>Your attention turns to a little filly standing in a corner of the room.

>"I-I don't see her in there anymore."

>You walk over to Fluttershy as Twilight goes to take care of the filly.

>Getting on her level, you bring your hands to her face.

>You speak to her in the softest voice you can muster.

"Hey there..."

>She pushes her face away from your hands, leaving them wet with tears.

>Her sobs are starting to become more audible.

>You cradle her in your arms.

"Shhh.... it's okay."

>"It was a vision Anon... I swear...."

"I know Shy, I know...."

>She cries into your shirt as you gently stroke her mane.

>Her warmth was gradually returning, which you guess was a good sign.

>Eventually the sobs begin to die down.

>"Hey guys... you should come over here..."

>You nod to Twilight.

"You going to be alright Shy?"

>She pulls herself away from your chest and gives you a shaky nod.

>The two of you walk over to the little filly.

"I hope you didn't have to watch all the things that happened..."

>She nods her head fearfully.

"I'm really sorry then."

>"It's... okay. ... It's not the first time I was forced to watch something like that."

>Your words begin to fail you, as the inevitable question of which part she referred to sits behind your lips.

>"Did... did she..." stutters out Fluttershy.

>"Every night. It wasn't always the same stallion."

>The filly looks to the ground.

>"Sometimes, after they were done with her... they would ask if... if..."

>She bursts into ghostly tears.

>Fluttershy wraps a hoof around the little filly.

>"I'm... I'm so sorry."

>"She made me swear not to tell the others... or it would happen to them too... I couldn't let that happen to them."

>A roaring flame emanates from the pit of your stomach.

>Getting rid of Gertrude was no longer optional to you.

>She had to pay for her actions.

>"Was there anyone who helped you feel better? After..."

>The little filly's sniffles lessened.

>"There was one friend... other than the girls... who would help me when those bad things happened."

>She looked up into Fluttershy's eyes.

>"There was this puppy... he hid underneath the porch and I would feed him scraps of dinner that I would hide for him.

>Fluttershy nods at her.

>"But... When she found out. She... She... She made me watch her do it."

>She bursts into tears anew.

>You stand up and walk over to the door.

>Looking up at the ceiling, and take a deep breath.

>After two times, you just gotta believe this will work.

>Just have faith.

>You open the door, filling the room with white light.

>The filly doesn't even seem to notice with her eyes shut.

>Running in the distance, you see a small hound running towards the door.

>"I would do anything just to see him again."

>As he closes the distance, you see the joyful look on the little hound as a small tennis ball is held in his mouth.

>"Just one last time. I've never felt so alone..."

>The little pup slows down as he gets nearer to the room.

>"He would always make me smile... even after she hit me too hard, or I started to bleed."

>Fluttershy holds her, tears forming in her eyes, already predicting what was going to happen.

>"Sometimes that's all I needed to make my day a little bit better."

>The puppy enters the room, and walks right up to the little filly, with his tail wagging as hard as its little body could muster.

>It smils the biggest smile the animal could as it gave a small yip.

>The filly opens her eyes with wide shock.

>The hound trots up to her and licks her hoof, which was slowly beginning to turn pink.

>She nearly collapses and picks the dog up in her hooves to cradle it.

>Her face was being littered with sloppy, happy kisses, wiping up the salty tears.

>"I've missed you so much Buddy."

>The smile on this filly's face would have to measured in miles.

>She gasps loudly.

>"IS THAT YOUR BALL?"

>The hound barks excitedly and squirms out of her arms to hand it to her.

>She takes the ball in her hoof and runs to the middle of the room.

>"You want the ball boy? You want the ball?"

>The dog leaps about through the air, and yips at her.

>She laughs and throws the ball out through the door.

>"Let's go get it!"

>The hound sprints to the door, but waits for her.

>The little filly looks to Fluttershy and smiles.

>"Thank you..."

>Fluttershy wipes tears from her eyes.

>"Go have fun you two."

>She smiles, and looks to Buddy.

>"Let's go boy!"

>The two of them run through the door, as it slowly closes behind them.
