My Little Amnesia: Friendship is HORRIFYING!
Chapter 3
Feeling the Burn
Twilight took in a deep breath, the aphrodisiac spiking hard in her systems.
Still, she was impressed, and getting more curious. Whomever had developed the aphrodisiac must have done a lot research and known a lot about chemistry to bring the aphrodisiac from fiction to reality. Were they perhaps the same pony whom 'gave' Fluttershy her acidic kisses?
AAAh!
Curse words if she didn't want to have it out of her system, pronto!
The longer she looked at either Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy, the more attractive, more curvaceous and voluptuous they looked. Twilight would occasionally try to cover her eyes with her hooves. But she would always end up having to remove them to discuss their next course of action with her friends, and end up seeing them again.
"We should do about something the aphro-aphro...the thingy." Fluttershy reasonably concluded. They couldn't risk finding Rarity while Twilight was dozed up on it.
"Yeah!" Pinkie agreed with an gung-ho smile. "...How do we do that!?"
"Come a little closer..." Twilight rasped, supporting herself on the wall to TRY to distract herself from the warm burbling going on in her tummy. It wasn't effective, if her beckoning hoof and 'come hither' gaze was anything to go by.
"What else did you say we could do?" Fluttershy squeaked. "Something to...neutralize it?"
"Yes. Something for me to swallow that will neutralize the ingredients in the aphrodisiac." Twilight smiled and blushed, her Cutie Mark edging rubbed up against the wall. "But I don't see why we would need it when I have you two here with me! Heehee..."
Fluttershy and Pinkie exchanged worried glances at each other, off-put by Twilight's behavior.
"I'll go to the kitchen and make a cure-all." Fluttershy said. "Just like Mama used to make! One sip of it, and no ailment will go uncured!"
Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Will it work on the aphrodisiac?"
"I don't know...but what else can we do?"
Twilight nodded.
"Pinkie, stay here and keep Twilight from doing anything too...you know." Fluttershy motioned for Pinkie to move away so she could whisper something without Twilight hearing. "The more she gives into it, the more of the neutralizer Twilight will need. Don't let her do anything!"
"Right!" Pinkie saluted. Fluttershy ran up the stairs out of the basement, leaving Pinkie to guard Twilight from herself.
"...Wait a minute! FLUTTTERSHY! I DON"T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO KEEP TWILIGHT FROM DOING!"
"Come closer, Pinkie." Twilight instructed. "I'll show you..."
Pinkie took a step towards Twilight, then stepped back, remembering Fluttershy's instructions.
"Wouldn't showing me mean that you'd do the thing that Flutttershy wants me to keep you from doing?"
Twilight shifted her eyes. "Yes." She pressed her hooves on the wall, trying to keep herself distracted from the constant spiking going on in her body.
Fluttershy stepped into the main hall of the library out of the basement.
"Now, where was the kitchen?" Uncertain, Flutttershy turned to the left and headed that way until she found a door. Opening it, she was greeted another section of the library with more rows of books and some cabinets.
"Mmmhh..." the petite pegasus was supposed to finding the kitchen, but she felt like she would find something she needed inside one of those cabinets... like an certain ingredient of some sort.
Briskly stepping inside, Fluttershy started pulling the cabinets open, and was disappointed when the first one she pulled was empty. As was the second. As well as the third. She made progress on the fourth, though!
A note. A white piece of paper with black ink scribbled on it in a thick font with hoofwriting like it was from a thousand years ago. Fluttershy began to read it. The date had been ripped off; it was clear it was somepony's note or journal entry, but the seams in the paper were no doubt from having been torn.
It read:
My sister has, today, gone out on an expedition. She was set for some faraway castle in a land of twilight. She writes that the castle is like no other she's seen. I hope she's faring well...
"Hmm..."
Fluttershy winced she suddenly heard a scuffling noise, like somepony moving very fast through the library.
"Who's there!?" Fluttershy looked around, expecting a shadow to rush through her vision, but no such thing happened. "Is somepony there? Um, my name is...Fluttershy and my friends and I could use your help finding out what happened here...hello?"
Fluttershy whimpered. She continued searching through the cabinets and eventually found some exotic plants. Plants from far-off lands no pony should ever put in their mouth for foreign toxins and other potential agents could be waiting within.
Fluttershy scooped them out of the cabinet with her muzzle and began chowing down.
"Nom nom nom nom..." Gulp! Fluttershy chewed right through them and swallowed without hesitating. She wiped her mouth with her hoof to remove the trace of the plants taste from her muzzle.
"This won't help with with the neutralizer any...but I needed some of those." Fluttershy murmured, looking down between her front legs at her stomach.
Fluttershy made one last double-check to see if she could find who was there. Failing at that, she left the room and decided to find some stairs in search of the kitchen.
Back in the basement, Twilight was trying to seduce Pinkie.
"Come on, Pinkie! Don't you want to have your way with me? Now is the perfect tiiiiime!"
"I have my way with you all the time, Twilight!"
"...You really don't know what that phrase means, do you?"
"Nope, and I intend to keep it that way!"
She was failing miserably and rather spectacularly, due to Pinkie's lack of knowledge about this kind of thing.
Twilight whined. The aphrodisiac was getting hotter amidst her stomach contents. Her Cutie Mark was going to start sizzling any second now, burning because its hunger was going un-sated through its channel of Twilight's body.
"Pinkie..." Twilight whined. "I really need somepony to do unspeakable things to do me or I'm going to start burning!"
Yes...from the books Twilight had read, one effect of the aphrodisiac was to get hotter and hotter until the pony burned up...unless they had some good old-fashioned lovin' on beforehoof.
Pinkie gazed on. It almost looked like she knew something Twilight didn't...
"You know, Pinkie." Twilight said. "I thought you were a party pony."
Pinkie gasped dramatically. No pony questioned whether or not she was a party pony! She was Pinkie Pie! THE party pony! The party-partiest pony in Equestria! "I AM a party pony!"
"Really?" Twilight said. "Then why won't you come over and party with me?"
Pinkie was, understandably, starting to get creeped out. She backed away slightly. "You're starting to freak me out a little bit, Twilight..."
"Ooh!" Twilight complained. "I'm sorry, Pinkie Pie...I just- ... AAAAAAAH I WANT IT SO BADLY!"
Twilight's eyes were seized by a pink glow the same color of the aphrodisiac she had swallowed. She dashed up the stairs and lunged to grab Pinkie. Pinkie, demonstrating the cartoon physics she was so well-known for, jumped over Twilight and landed on one of the lower stairs away from the unicorn. Twilight then did her own demonstration of the same cartoon physics and jumped after Pinkie. Pinkie jumped back up the stairs into her original spot. They did this back-and-forth for a while, until Twilight was finally fed up with it and grabbed Pinkie by the tail in mid-air with her telekineses.
Twilight giggled like an immature school girl and levitated the upside down, increasingly worried Pinkie in front of her. "Heeheehehehehe!" Twilight cupped Pinkie's cheeks and rubbed them, wanting to make sure Pinkie was as excited as she was. She kissed Pinkie, savored it for a moment, drew back...and then French-kissed her. Passionately.
Pinkie flailed her front legs about and made muffled noises of protest from the intrusion of Twilight's tongue. Thinking quickly, Pinkie pulled her cart wheel collar off and smacked Twilight's horn with, disrupting the unicorn's focus. Twilight rubbed her struck horn sorely, giving Pinkie ample time to run up the stairs.
"COME BAAACK!" the now quite obviously deranged by the liquid drug inside her Twilight shouted at her. "All I want is a little sugar...hhmmm hmmhmm heehee! Okaaaay...a LOT of sugar!"
Twilight reared herself up and began to chase after Pinkie. It was a little funny that not too long ago, Twilight had been subject to one chase after with another thing in the water and the fake Rainbow Dash. Now she was the chaser, with Pinkie as her would-be victim.
Fluttershy found the kitchen, eventually. It was up the stairs she had chosen- which was most fortunate.
"Okay!" Fluttershy said to reassure herself. "I found the kitchen...now I need..." she went over to the kitchen cabinets and started pulling out the ingredients she needed. "A pot..." CLANG. "Some measuring cups..." clink-clink-clink-clink! "and of course, some working water and a source of heat!"
"Hmm..." Fluttershy drew her neck up to look at the library's oven. She checked the knobs on it and the burners were still working. "Ah!"
As she was looking around for the sink, she couldn't help but notice that one the overhead cabinets attached to the wall was slightly ajar. Had it been that way before?
Curious, Fluttershy pulled open the rest of the way and was greeted by the sparkling shimmer of a Memorb.
She picked it up with her wing and shook it slightly, trying to make it work for her. She wasn't a unicorn, so she had no magic to activate it. But maybe it would respond to pegasi magic?
Although, were that the case, how would Fluttershy harness it to activate the device?
"Mmmh..." Fluttershy shook it even harder in her wing, eventually shaking so hard and fast she dropped the sphere, which rolled away from her and hit one of the ground-level cabinets.
The Memorb began shimmering.
Fluttershy smiled, the sparkle of magic lighting up around her face. "That'll work!"
She leaned in closer to the sphere and wrapped the ankles of her hooves around so it would put her in its mystic trance. Fluttershy was subject to the same 'being sucked in' sensation as Twilight had been. She was also put into a first-pony view of the memory recorded within the orb.
The first thing Fluttershy saw after the orb had completed its transaction of her to the memory was Twilight Sparkle's brother, Shining Armor. He was standing in marble, like the castle at Canterlot.
"Come on, Twiley." Shining said, nudging at the door. "Don't you want to know what the BIG IMPORTANT task the Princess has for you is?"
A shudder escaped from the mouth of the pony Fluttershy was 'occupying'.
"I'm sorry, Shining." Twilight apologized. "I just really don't want to know what's in that thing. I can feel evil radiating from the other side."
"That's ridiculous!" Shining said. "Come on!" He barged the door open and bade his sister to follow him.
Twilight did so with reluctance, her hoofsteps echoing on the grand palace marble. Inside the room was a red carpet that led to a table and chair. On the table, clenched in a sculpture of a claw, was a brilliant, beautiful orb much larger than a Memorb. It was a different shade of blue, much lighter than a Memorb. It was also covered in strange gold adornments.
Twilight approached it, her face's reflection becoming visible in the glass. She reached out her hooves to grasp the orb, and then drew back the instant they touched it.
Twilight breathed heavily, turned around, and raced towards the door to the room as if hanging on for dear life.
"Shining, I'm sorry. But I can't do this task for the Princess! That orb is evil, and the further away it is from me, the better!"
"But Twiley-!" Shining attempted to object. "You're the only one who-"
"I don't care!"
Twilight stomped out the door and slammed it behind her.
"Oh my." Fluttershy murmured once the illusion ended. An impertinent task now stood before her.
"I need to destroy this Memorb right away."
Fluttershy looked around, trying to find something she could use to utterly remove the Memorb from existence. She looked through and saw a number of different kitchen utensils, none of which would serve her purpose. She put the orb down and started shuffling through the cabinets, eventually finding a glass bowl, to contain the leftover fragments in, and a meat tenderizer to smash it.
Putting the bowl on the table while the water continued to heat up, Fluttershy dropped the Memorb into the bowl. She raised the tenderizer, its handle firmly gripped in her mouth.
The door to the room swung open. "What are you doing!?"
Fluttershy's eyes widened in surprise as she dropped the tenderizer. "Pinkie!? What are you doing here? You need to be guarding Twilight!"
"I couldn't handle anymore of it..." Pinkie muttered.
"Oh." Fluttershy cooed. "Surely it's not that bad, is it?"
Rather than Pinkie, a shout from Twilight downstairs was the answer to Fluttershy's question.
"PINKIE PIE! COME BACK! I just want to taaaste yooou...really thoroughly!"
"That bad?"
Pinkie glared, as if to say, "What do you think!?"
Fluttershy picked up the tenderizer off the floor in her mouth and raised it.
"What are you doing!?" Pinkie demanded, darting forward and shoving Fluttershy away from the bowl. "Let ME do that. You need to work on the cure-all!" Pinkie snatched the tenderizer away from Fluttershy.
Fluttershy nodded. While she began mixing ingredients into measuring cups, Pinkie went to work, striking the tenderizer onto the Memorb until it cracked, causing a silver goop- the memory- to leak out into the bowl. She hit and hit again until there was nothing left in the bowl but silver goo with shards in it.
Pinkie picked up the bowl, and went over to the trash can to scrap the glop off into it.
"Pinkie...come baaaack." Twilight moaned to herself. "You're so sweet and bubbly and...naive." Twilight giggled to herself, thinking about what she would do to Pinkie if she found her.
In her arousal, her senses had been heightened. Enough to be able to smell that wherever Pinkie and Fluttershy were in the library, they were no longer on the same floor as her.
"Hmm..." Sniffing around to try to find them, Twilight smelled what was probably the worst possible thing for an aphrodisiac-fueled mare to smell.
A stallion.
"Heheheh!" Twilight giggled, imaging how she would get the stallion to help her once she found him. She sniffed and sniffed the air until she pinpointed the direction of the stallion. Up the stairs. The same stairs Fluttershy and Pinkie had gone up, but she didn't know that.
Walking up them, Twilight got something that was even better than what she could've hoped for. A Royal Canterlot Guard.
In her state, Twilight didn't notice that his lips had been quite clearly burned off. He didn't seem happy to see her, snorting, huffing and scraping his hoof.
"Hello, Mr. Guard pony! Can you help with this problem I'm having?"
"I won't help you with anything, you-you butcher!"
Twilight frowned, but not because of the name. Because he wasn't going to help her.
Sssss...
Twilight looked back at her Cutie Mark. it was starting to sizzle, letting off smoke wisps. It wouldn't be long before the rest of her body joined in, filling the library with the sound of her cooked flesh popping and blood boiling. Just as she was thinking about it, her hooves started doing the same.
"Please!" She begged the guard. "I've swallowed some aphrodisiac, and you can clearly see it's starting to burn me!"
The guard raised an eyebrow. "No, I can't. Besides, aphrodisiac is a myth."
"That's what I thought, too!"
The guard snorted and scraped again, charging forward. Twilight prepared her magic and blasted him aside, throwing him against the wall and knocking him out.
As she walked up the staircase past him, Twilight took another glance at the guard. He was unconscious, so Twilight could easily...
However, smelling the scents of Pinkie and Fluttershy, Twilight decided to go for targets she was more intimately familiar with.
Fluttershy poured some honey into the pot from a ladle. She turned the burner off and smiled at Pinkie. "We just need to wait another minute and it'll be ready."
"Great!" Pinkie smiled back. Then there was knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Fluttershy asked politely.
"Twilight."
"Oh, Twilight...TWILIGHT!?"
"It's okay!" Pinkie said. "I locked the door behind me! She's not gonna be able to get in!"
The doorknob began rattling, caught in the glow of Twilight's magic. Pinkie and Fluttershy grimaced.
Twilight pulled the door open, her entire body sizzling with smoke, the blood vessels in her hooves popping.
"One of you...get over here. NOW." Twilight demanded. Pinkie meekly approached, as if succumbing to some training regime that had been up til now, buried. Fluttershy held her leg out to stop her.
"GRAA!" Twilight shouted. She charged forward and tackled Pinkie to the ground. "We'll need to remove THIS!" Twilight tore the knife out of Pinkie's chest and threw it aside.
"Twilight, wait!" Fluttershy interjected.
"Yes?" Twilight's tone made it clear she wasn't going to wait any longer than she had to.
"Take me instead." Fluttershy offered, unwrapping her kimono and dropping it to the ground.
Twilight seemed interested, but reluctant. "Are you suuure?"
"Yes..." Fluttershy answered weakly. "I'm...sure."
"Okay!" Twilight abandoned Pinkie for her new, more willing quarry, pouncing onto Fluttershy and pushing to the ground. She kissed the same way she did Pinkie earlier, and started rubbing Fluttershy's Cutie Mark with her hind-hooves. Pinkie could only helplessly stare as one friend kissed another. There wasn't any violation yet, but it was only a matter of time.
Fluttershy's head started jerking. Pinkie, knowing Twilight was distracted, walked towards them and looked over Twilight's shoulder.
Fluttershy was doing two things at once. Returning Twilight's kiss while jerk her head toward the direction of the stove.
"...Oh!" Pinkie shouted in realization. She zoomed over and grabbed the cooled pot by it's handle, then tapped Twilight on the shoulder for her attention.
"Yes?!" Twilight snapped, tearing away from Fluttershy. Her hips were were bucking up and down through the air, just from the anticipation.
"Drink this!" Then, without Twilight's permission, Pinkie put the pot lip to Twilight's lip and tilted it upwards so Fluttershy's concoction would go gown Twilight's throat. After a few gulps, Twilight raised a hoof to show that Pinkie could stop. Twilight grabbed the pot with her own hoof and drank the rest all on her own.
Once she finished it all, Twilight dropped the pot to the floor and sighed. The pink glow dissipated from her eyes.
"Thanks, Pinkie." Twilight said. "And thank you too, Fluttershy." Twilight rubbed Fluttershy's cheek. "For being so willingly to give yourself to me like that to save Pinkie...and putting up with me like that...you're both wonderful friends."
Fluttershy and Pinkie both smiled in appreciation of Twilight's appreciation.
"Although..." Twilight said uncertainly. "Standing here, on top of Fluttershy...I feel like I've been here before, and we should...never mind." Twilight got off Fluttershy and shook her head. Her eyes widened as she remembered seeing a guard while she was drugged.
"Oh my gosh! I just remembered! I saw a royal guard while I was drugged!"
Pinkie and Fluttershy got worried looks.
"A royal guard?"
"Yeah. I think I left him unconscious on the stairs. I don't think he'll be happy to see me after that..."
Fluttershy put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder. "We'll deal with him. You stay here and rest while the cure-all works."
Twilight nodded, happy that the cure-all worked. As she watched them go, she didn't notice their choice of words.
"Deal."
Back in the basement, the Changeling Pinkie had disappeared. Or rather, had somehow been so sunk into the water that she was totally devoured by the pit-beast within.
Dim light assailing his vision, the guard woke up. For a highly-trained, military indviaudal, he seems immedaitly frightened by the sitchuation he's in. Hanging upside down from a chain above the water. He had no idea what was in the water, but if was anything from the butcher mare, he didn't want to know.
"Oh, good. You're awake." A low, mockingly friendly voice greeted him.
His eyes shrunk in shock. No. Not her. Not again.
Fluttershy put her hoof on his back. "What's wrong?" She cooed. "Are you not happy to see me?"
"You kinda burned my lips off." The guard reminded her.
"I did, didn't I?" Fluttershy admitted. "Of course, if you hadn't come here, I wouldn't have had to." Using her powers of flight to make an illusion, she crawled on him like a black widow satisfied after eating it's mate alive. The guard was overcome with the fear that her acid was going to be poured into his eyes.
"Please don't pour more acid on me."
"Oh, I won't." Fluttershy assured him.
She twisted his neck upwards, turning so far it was almost painful.
"I can make more things than just acid."
Fluttershy opened her mouth, a deranged, hungry look in her eye. She opened her mouth, and a glowing pink liquid flowed out into the guard's mouth. The guard whimpered, Without his lips, there was nothing to keep the aphrodisiac from seeping through the gaps in his teeth. His eyes began glowing pink as the drug took hold.
Once Fluttershy was done, she swallowed to regain some lost air. The guard whimpered and flailed his unrestrained hindlegs.
Fluttershy, seeing that he was at her mercy, smiled.
"So, lover-boy, are you ready for me?" Fluttershy asked confidently.
The guard, drugged even worse than Twilight was at her worst, nodded. "Uh-huh."
"Are you suure?"
"YES!" The normally stoic, calm, trained to be fearless guard screamed, flailing. "YES, I'M READY!"
Fluttershy chuckled, ready to have her way with him.
"We had been perfectly content to wallow in our own misery, and then your group came along..." Fluttershy grumbled angrily as she lowered herself onto him, not even giving him the decency to be unchained during his violation.
Pinkie opened the door to the kitchen and trotted in.
"Hey, Pinkie." Twilight greeted. "How are things with the guard?"
"Oh, um...I don't know. Fluttershy told me to leave them alone." Pinkie answered, which wasn't technically a lie.
Of course, it left out what Fluttershy was really doing. Pinkie and Fluttershy also neglected to mention...
Twilight was never at risk of burning. It was an hallucination of the aphrodisiac the whole time.
Author's Notes for "Feeling the Burn"
I was kinda hesitant about that last scene with the guard...but then I figured, "Hey, it's Amnesia. It's supposed to be disgusting."
The plot is going somewhere! It is! I have a plan! It's just...not apparent yet. I haven't forgotten anything!
...I feel like there should be more here.
This story suffers a little from past experiences. The things a writer does for horror, for suspense, OR to suggest that the protagonist is mentally unsound, all of which benefits an Amnesia story...I have all done before, and for whatever reason, even though I have this prior experience, I'm not doing it here. Que?
