>"You'll love her, Anon!"
"Yeah, I'm sure I will."
>The first thing that greeted you when you came back from a long day of running Twilight's errands was the horrifying coos of the abomination before you
>And the next thing that came after that was a few agonizing moments of watching her play with the demon
>Your friend didn't even bother to thank you for collecting her scrolls, books, bookwriting materials, and pet dragon when she turned around
>But hey, you don't really mind, her pretty face was thanks enough for you and your fluttering heart
>After all, it's just all for love
>At least, you hope
>If you do enough nice things for her, she'll come around, right?
>"So, what do you think?"
>Right?
"Y-yeah, I think I can watch over her tonight."
>Her grin covers almost half her face as she effortlessly lifts the heavy materials from your arms
>Still no thanks
>"I'm so glad! I knew I could always count on my good friend."
"Where are you going tonight?"
>"Oh, just you know, out."
>Was that a blush on her face?
>Probably just the light and exhaustion playing tricks on you
"Out where?"
>She rolls her eyes
>"You don't have to know where I am all the time. You ask it too often."
>She turns around, pulling one of the books you had brought her, requested from a nearby bookstore
>Well, now you know why she wanted a book on babycare spells
>Something about that sends a shiver down your spine but you're not quite sure why
>Nonetheless, you follow her, trading glances between the babbling foal on the carriage and your mare-friend's flank
>"Uhm, Anon?"
>Luckily, you were facing the little foal when she turned back towards you, and you were just near the carriage
>You steel yourself to look into the abyss as it gazes back
"Yeah?"
>"Do you have anything to do?"
"What do you mean?"
>"Well, I might need some help testing some of the spells from the book."
 
>Your heart somersaults while your lips curl upwards in an unconscious grin, yielding a cute giggle from the unicorn
>Maybe you two are finally getting closer?
>"You're adorable, Anon."
>Woah
>Holy shit
>"You remind myself of me when I was young and helping some of my fellow students..."
>She drones on about something with students and spells
>But that's not important
>She just called you adorable
>She's never complimented you or anything before
>This was a monumental victory
>A million butterflies in your stomach dance to your internal victory tune
>Now, if only-
>"Anon?"
"Yes?"
>"Did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah."
>No
>"Well, then, I'm sure we can begin!"
>You're getting that uneasy feeling again
>But if you ask about it now, you might lose relationship points with her
>You keep a very rigorous catalog of things that make her happy and things that don't
>She definitely does not like people who phase out at all
>It's probably-
"Hello? Are you feeling alright?"
"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine."
>"That's good! We can begin now!"
>She bites her lips, horn lighting up
>Wait
>You don't really feel comfortable with this
>Why is she testing something on you?
"Wait, Twilight?"
>It fizzles out and she looks at you, a little puzzled
"Why am I being tested?"
>She gives a long sigh
>And you feel your relationship meter go down
>"You weren't paying attention, weren't you?"
"I was! I was just, uh, joking!"
>She looks unconvinced, but she continues onwards, leaning forwards again and lighting her horn up
>Her magic wraps around you, her eyes staring in concentration
>The tingling feels wonderful, almost intimate
>You can't help but feeling a little arousal, being wrapped in her touch
>Suddenly the world reverses and turns itself inside out as you buckle over
>Twilight looks to still be concentrating, eyes crossed, focusing on something else
>Suddenly, something explodes and bright light floods your vision, stunning you
 
>You're back
>But
>Something's wrong
>It's not just the sudden smoke around the room
>Or the sudden piercing wail of the unholy spirit in the carriage
>Or the fact that Twilight's tingling magical grasp just seeemd to disappear
>No, it's that you literally have lost feeling along your skin
>The numbing took a swift hold of you, spreading from your fingertips inwards
>You feel yourself falling forward, coughing out, but nothing comes out of your throat
>It constricts, and you almost choke, but there's no burning in your lungs
>Your hands are down on the floor, out of the corner of your vision
>And you see the skin losing color, turning a whiter shade
>You lift one up to examine
>When suddenly
>All the numbness disappears
>And you let out a silent scream that wracks your entire body
>You feel your elbows contort, bend backwards, feel the crunching of your bone
>SNAP
>Your right arm bends at an impossible angle, sending sharp spikes of pain through you
>Your eyes feel like crying but nothing comes out, it's all dry
>Your knee CRACKs
>You feel the area bulge out, fragments of your bone shattering
>You can't even breathe too hard, each breath draws pain in your chest
>The spiky arms of your ribs close in on your internals
>Squeezing at your organs, and you feel a disgusting POP as something breaks
>Your heart stops beating
>The ground meets your head
>Or whatever it now is
>Like mush, it hits the ground, softly pressing into it, skull deforming
>You feel the chill of the crystal floor
>But it doesn't soothe the burning pain all throughout your body
>Your ribs somehow curl inwards enough to scrape against the back
>You feel your body vibrate as the tips scrape against ivory
>And another CRACK
>The shattered pieces of rib poke out at your chest
>You close your eyes
>Feeling your skin part
>Rip open
>But
>No wetness
>No blood
>Just pure unadultered pain
 
>Your legs curl backwards enough and your feet reach your back
>And then CRACK again
>But nowhere near the knee
>Somehow your shin explodes in your skin
>A million fragments of piercing pain passing through your skin
>Almost as quickly as your shin shatters, you feel the bones...dissolve?
>Instead of a large amount of fragments squeezing and playing with your insides
>You now feel an infinitely large amount of sand-like particles, running around your skin
>Your feet dig into your back, push in, start to merge
>The bones in your torso follow next
>Like a million needles prickling you from the inside
>The bursting of bones cause you to jolt up and down
>The movement twisting your world and limbs around
>You try hard to scream
>But this time you can't even open your mouth
>Your lips have fused, and your tongue frantically pushes against it
>Trying to push out
>You succeed
>But it feels like something slid a knife through your skin
>Your tongue feels the air
>And it burns for some reason
>The air continues to flow in, burning where it touches
>The pain intensifies as the hurt around your melting bones winds down
>Your head suddenly feels like it's being squished
>Squeezed
>And
>CRACK
>Again
>But this time, it's not a million fragments
>No, you feel the large parts of your skull move around
>Sharp corners poking and tearing at the skin as your head deflates and flattens
>Your body feels like it's melting, burning on your skin, stabbing from the inside
>You can't even see anything anymore
>Just feel your body flatten
>Flatten
>And
>Shrink again
>The agony never stops
>Your skin parts, and you feel holes in a million places
>Letting the burning air in
>Oh gods, it never stops hurting
 
>You feel your skin somehow drying up, letting more of the burning air in
>Why does air hurt?
>Why would it hurt so much?
>Your insides solidify, dry up, and you feel pieces of yourself shrink and contort
>Your body does gymnastics inside you, all the parts settling down, carving a thousand etchings on your insides
>It's not even easy sliding
>You feel the resistance in each movement
>You feel the scraping, the crinkling
>Why can you still hear?
>Why can't you be deaf and numb to the pain?
>Your body shifts, moves around, crinkling continuously as everything deforms
>Everything seems to move randomly
>It's not even moving down
>The pain goes in all directions
>The crinkling gets louder and louder
>And something booms
>Like thunder or gunshots, heading closer and closer to you
>A familiar tingling wraps around you, lifting you up
>But it only excaberates your pain
>Each point it touches makes you want to scream
>All the intimacy is gone
>Just cruel torture
>"Did I miss this somehow? Maybe that's why you were so grouchy."
>You're not really registering her words
>The air burns your insides as it rushes through your millions of holes
>You feel yourself lifting
>Then dropping
>And onto something soft
>But it doesn't stop there
>It feels like every hair of fur jabs at you
>A little spear digging into your skin
>Somehow it feels even worse than before
>The hairs twist, wiggle inside you
>Like knives twisting in you
 
>"Aww, they look adorable on you!"
>Your body squeezes together
>Something on both sides pressing their little daggers deeper into you
>What did you do to deserve all this?
>"Now, to find out what happened with the spell and maybe bring Anon back."
>Something warm and large jabs against one of your sides
>Wiggling
>Like it was tickling
>But no, it's not doing that for you
>It's clamping you down, squeezing your flatness further
>Sending shoots of fiery pain coursing through your body
>It's like a million volts of electricity ran through you, as your body crinkles
>She finally relents
>Retreating her hoof
>If you could breathe, you'd be panting heavily
>The myriad embedded spikes continue to contort and swirl in you
>But that's okay
>Just baseline pain now
>You'll last
>Twilight will find a way
>She'll be your savior
>And you'll thank her
>And you'll live happily forever
>And
>HOLY HELL
>Forget the air
>Forget the spikes
>Forget the bones melting and dissolving in you
>No
>Something wet
>Something warm
>Something HOLY FUCK IT BURNS
>It spreads across your back
>You can't even describe the pain
>It's like having testicles ripped and torn to shreds all over your back
>The same pulling feeling, mixed with the external burning agony
>Your mind convulses and you swear you imagine colors sparking all over your darkness
>You can't even focus or think of anything else
>Just a bunch of lights popping in your head and disappearing
>But then it gets worse
>It gets INSIDE you
>You feel your body absorb the pain
>Take it in
>And funnel it all thoughout
>You want to scream
>You just want to scream
>That's almost the worst part
>You can't do anything
>You're stuck as the wet pain seeps through you
>Your body absorbs it entirely
>You can't even shake or shudder
>Why?
>Why can't you scream?
>Why did Twilight do this?
>Why didn't you tell her you loved her?
>Why can't you fucking SCREAM?
