Letex's Tale Two

Chapter 1: Awakening

A/N: Hello everyone! Hope you enjoyed my first one, now its time for the second in the trilogy. Please review and enjoy!

I felt nothing, my mind a complete blank. Then, I felt something, well, somone. I opened my eyes, and found myself not in nothingness, but in a type of shack. The walls were made of a cheap wood, but the furniture was actually quite nice. Looking around, I could see nopony, and all I could hear was the booming lightning outside. Thats when I realized, I was stuck. Looking side to side, I realized I was strapped down, and unable to move. A small door opened, and somone stepped in. I could not tell who they were, but they looked quite silly.

I opened my muzzle, "Hey...who are you?" My voice was commanding, but it wavered at the end. The person walked up to me, and laughed, "Hah! You are weak!" I rolled my eyes, the weakminded comment slipping over my head. Then, I gasped as the pony took off her hat, and smiled evily into my eyes, "Yes...Twilight will pay, Trixie will make sure of that." I was about to scream, when Trixie hit my face with one of her hooves, and I was out.

The next time I opened my eyes, I realized that there was no pain. I looked to my right wing, and it had no trace of the corruption. Suddenly, Trixie said, "Ah! You like what Trixie had done for you?" I nodded my head slightly. It felt...unreal. It seemed as if this was all just a dream. Or, in my case, a nightmare. I started shaking my hooves, trying to get free, "It won't help you, Trixie is the Great and Powerful. There is no escape, idiot." I kept struggling, I needed to get back to Ponyville.

I kept trying to think a way out, but Trixie just lounged around, doing normal stuff. I was fairly angry at the obnoxious pony, but I could do nothing. I was trapped.

*The next day*

I woke up again to find Trixie staring intently at me, "So...your name is Letex, is it?" I slowly nodded, wondering how she knew. She then walked over to my right wing, "You are going to tell me what I want to know, right?" I made a disgusted look, and said, "No, you evil-" then, she took the covering off my wing. I screamed loudly, and Trixie put it back on, stopping the pain, "Are you sure, Letex?" I nodded feebly, "You won't get anything-" She took off the cover, but did not put it back on. I screamed as loud as I could. She walked away and put it on a table.

She left me with a white hot pain, exceding anything I ever felt in my whole life. I was screaming, crying, and pleading. She did not listen. I was enraged, and she just sat there, acting oblivious. Suddenly, she came up to me again, "So, are you absolutely sure?" I took a minute to recover, and answered, "NO!" I quickly tore at the leather strap restraining my left hoof. It ripped, and I slammed her into the ground. I began to undo my other straps, but Trixie stood, furios. She used her magic and levitated a knife and brought it near my throat, "Are you sure, Miss Lash?" I stopped what I was doing, and laid back as she replaced the straps.

She slowly started trying to torture me, letting my wing do the work usually, but sometimes used mind altering spells to make me think I was free. I kept fighting her, and trying to escape. Still, Trixie had a strange look about her, the mane was frazzled, she talked to herself a lot. It seemed that Trixie had driven herself insane from months, maybe years of solitude.

Eventually, I could tell I needed to escape. She acted out, and slit my arm, several times. I was honestly scared, and always thought of how I was to escape. Still, the unicorn was insane enough to lock my in a room of my own just so I couldn't escape. I thought all my hope was lost, but that only lasted so long. People were looking for me. Specificly, Rainbow Dash. I could hear Trixies lies at the door, though I could scarcely speak from the intense pain I had succumb to.

Then, after a week of searching, Rainbow came to the door, "Hey, Trixie. We wanted you to know that the search for Letex is inconclusive." She sounded on the brink of crying, and I felt the same way. Trixie made a fake sad voice, "Oh...how unfortunate. Well, see you!" She slammed the door.

*Rainbow Dash*

This was not at all like Trixie, I mean, she was rude, but not like this. She seemed...off. I knocked again...no answer. Again...no answer. What if she was in trouble? Even if it was Trixie. I busted in the door, and started looking around. Nothing. I continued looking around the house, until I saw a small opening. It was a small hatch, and I opened it and went down. What I saw made me furios, but also very disgusted. Trixie was on top of Letex, taking a knife and trailing it lightly around, ocasionally asking, "Are you sure...Letex?" Letex was making muffled screams from the gag of leather. I walked over to Trixie, "Hey! Bitch!"

*Letex Lash*

In a split second, Rainbow slammed her hoof into Trixies mouth, making her fly back a couple feet. I screamed as high as I could, still weak from the horid torture. Before Rainbow was able to unstrap the leather bounds, Trixie rushed madly at Rainbow, "Now Trixie can make Twilight PAY!" The knife held high in the air with magic, she slashed madly at Rainbow. Of course, being a pegasus Rainbow easily avoided the blows. She used her back hooves and slammed Trixie in the chest, making a small imprint on the opposite wall.

*Rainbow Dash*

Good, now that Trixie was out of the picture, I looked to Letex. Still, my eyes seemed to burn and my soul shuddered at what I saw. She had multiple slits on her forearms, and her cursed wing was uncovered, seemingly for days. I hurried to her and quickly broke the straps, and felt Letex fall into my hooves, completely unable to move.

She seemed to be sick, and some of the cuts were infected, not to mention the bruises and scratches which came from who knows where. I flew up the trapdoor, closing it and making sure Trixie would not be able to escape. I was about to start out the door, when I remembered Letex's wing. I put on a small leather gaurd that was the color of her wings, and started off towards the town.

In a few minutes, I had all my friends on me. They all gasped, asking questions, "I can't right now...lets get her to the care unit." We all carried her over, though she was light. As soon as we stepped into the hospital, the staff and nurses gasped with fear. Several doctors rushed out, and helped Letex onto a small rolling bed, as I told them where and how I found her, and how not to touch her wing unless necesary. They ushered her off.

I turned to my friends, and then collapsed to tears. They huddled around me, and Twilight asked, "Rainbow, whats wrong? She is safe!" They all seemed happy, and so was I...but, "I know, and I am happy. Just..." Twilight may have had a minor understanding, "I think I understand, you just don't know how to react, you are angry at whoever, sad at her condition, and happy she is safe." I nodded, eventually drying my tears as my friends tried to cheer me up. We all sat in the visitor room, waiting for when we could go. Pinkie eventually left, needing to leave for the Cakes. Applejack left as well, remembering her work on the farm.

Rarity had fallen asleep, and Fluttershy was just outside, trying to calm some animals. I looked to Twilight, just remembering a important detail, "Twilight, I just remembered!" Twilight's ears perked, interested, "Well? What is it?" I took a deep breath, before explaining Trixie, the knife...everything. Twilight just listened, occasionally gasping, "I know it must be hard, and you just want to leave that room behind, but-" I then squealed, "Crap! I left Trixie in the trapdoor room, so the authorities could get to her." Twilight got starteled, and said, "Alright, I will go get Spike to write a letter for Princess Celestia. I will be back soon." She was about to leave, but I then said, "Twilight, she said she wanted revenge. If she was really crazy enough to do that to Letex, somone who you met only a couple months ago..." Twilight and I shuddered.

*A Few Hours Later*

When I was about to be asked to leave, the nurse wwent back, I heard a small conversation, then, "Miss Sparkle and Miss Dash, Miss Lash will see you now. Please, be careful, she is in a traumatic state." We both gulped and nodded. We walked down a long white hall, pausing everyonce in a while when hearing a muffled scream from the end of the hall. We both carefully entered the last door, and cringed. Letex layed in the bed, her right wing being held up from broken bones, and her left laying by her side. Her front hooves were laced in bandages, stitches, and a bit of blood. The rest of her body was normal, except for the occasional bandage or small stitch.

I walked over first, swallowing the uneasyness, "Hey...Letex. How are you feeling?" She looked to me, and she forced a small smile. She was exausted, in absolute pain. Both me and Twilight kept talking about happy things, but Letex would eventually let out a small grunt from the wing. Twilight then decided it was time for business, "Letex, when you get out, we have got to fix that wing." Letex sighed, then nodded.

I looked to Twilight, and motioned for her to leave. Seeing the signal, Twilight said, "Hey...Letex I am really sorry, but I gotta go." Twilight left abrubtly, leaving Letex and me to ourselves.

*Letex Lash*

I could barely remember the past however many weeks, but I did remember one thing. I remember a voice, while I was passed out. It said, 'I think I love you...'. I looked to Rainbow, "Rainbow Dash, I remember somepony saying they love me, or saying you to somepony else. Do you have anything to say to this?" Rainbow blushed, walking closer to me, "Letex, I told you. You are the only Pegasus like me. The only one who can understand me. The only one I..." Rainbow gulped, she seemed completely out of charictor. This was so unlike her. Suddenly, my mind stopped processing as Rainbow pulled me into a deep, passionate kiss.

I felt like my heart was going to explode, but my mind was rushing to find out what was happening. Rainbow pulled back, closing her eyes, and then staring into mine, "So." She stared into my mind, no, my soul, "Do you...?" I was at a loss of words. I did not want to say no, but...it felt right. I said, fumbling over my words, "Um..I-uh. I just need to...think about it." Rainbow backed away slowly, "Alright...okay then. Well, I will be at my house." She quickly started trotting towards the door.

I yelped, "Rainbow!" She turned, looking at me again, her eyes resisting letting the tears fall, "I just...need time. Okay? Please, you have no idea what happened. I am not saying no- I mean we are still friends- ugh..." I layed into the pillow more, at a loss of words. Rainbow was a great friend, but...I just did not know. Rainbow walked back over to me, her eyes showing neither sadness, fear, or anger. She leaned next to my face, and kissed my on the cheek, "Alright...well...I should get going." I tried to reach out again, but she cut me off, "Don't worry, Letex. I understand. You need time to cope. I just...want an answer as soon as possible, okay?" I nodded, and fell back into the pillow without a word. I tried to fall asleep, but my mind was stirring. I know I liked Rainbow as a friend. But, did I love her? My mind was working overdrive, and I eventually fell asleep into a restless nightmare.
