Thursday (March 1st) Fluttershy's POV
I sat, stunned. My mind wasn't working and neither was my body. I just couldn't believe those things. I didn't know when he started to, but he did. He believed he was pathetic and worthless. That he was horrible when it just wasn't true.
After a few minutes, I started coming to my senses; thinking more about what he said and how it mimicked my own feelings. That I had left him scarred and traumatized, and destroyed his life. That I broke his spirit.
If what he believed wasn't true, was what I believed true? Had I ruined his life?
It was difficult to answer, but no. He still loved me just like I loved him. Together, it was impossible for our lives to be ruined. We could always start over from nothing, build it anew. It would never be ruined.
I needed to find him and help him realize we were both wrong.
I leaped off the couch and ran outside.
I started looking around for any sign of him, anything that could tell where he could have gone. I knew the longer it took, the farther away he would get and the less likely I would ever find him again.
I scanned the horizon, but found nothing and started to panic. I couldn't lose him, I just couldn't.
I spread my wings and took to the sky. During the night it was hard to see anything, but the moon was bright.
As I looked, I started thinking about where he would go when he was this upset and how he was feeling at the moment.
I knew he wouldn't go towards the town. He wouldn't want to be around anypony. So that only left the surrounding area and the... Everfree forest.
"Light, please prove me wrong." I said to myself.
I turned and headed towards the Everfree.
When I started flying over it, I felt something weighing me down, pulling me towards the forest.
I tried flapping my wings hard to counter it, but it just pulled harder in response. The best I could do was glide for as long as I could.
Since I was a few stories up, I managed to get another hundred yards into the forest; but, I had to set down.
I hoped I had caught up to him at least a little. He wouldn't be turning too much, he was too angry at himself to think about anything other than away.
After I looked around a little, I noticed something glinting in the moonlight. I walked over to it and saw that it was a piece of a shirt on a broken branch.
I couldn't believe how happy I was that I knew Rarity's stitching by sight, recognizing it as a piece of Light's shirt. He had been here.
I checked which way the branch broke off to and started racing through the forest as fast as I could in that direction.
I didn't dare call out Light's name in this forest. If he was anywhere nearby, he would hear it and just run harder, attracting attention to both himself and me.
I ran for what felt like hours, working my body in ways I had never done before, hoping beyond hope that I could find him.
Each muscle in my legs and arms was burning and I was gasping for breath with a stitch in my side; but I had to keep going. I pushed myself even harder through sheer willpower and desperation.
When I couldn't run anymore, I stopped with despair. I just couldn't run another step. I didn't know if I was anywhere near Light and I had no idea how far or how long I had ran.
I slumped against a nearby tree, unable to do anything else. I would have cried, but I couldn't find the energy for it.
Light was gone and I would die in this forest. I was lost, utterly exhausted, heartbroken, and alone. I would die in this forest all because I loved somepony.
However, I wasn't regretful as weird as it was. I had done all I could possibly do plus more. It just wasn't good enough. I may die here, but I can die while knowing that I had tried. I wouldn't have to live the rest of my life with a 'what if?'.
Soon things started to brighten a little bit and I knew dawn was here. I was one of the first ponies ever to have survived a night alone in the Everfree forest.
The light calmed me enough for my heartbeat to stop beating in my ears. And then I heard something. Sobbing.
The Everfree was playing tricks on me in my final moments. It was the only answer. It was impossible for him to be this close after all that could have happened over the night.
But, I had to see. I needed to see.
I tried yelling out, but couldn't. My mouth was too dry to do anything more than a pathetic croak.
Using the tree and tiny bit of energy that had come to me during my time under it, I pulled myself up and onto my hooves. I gasped at the sudden pain in them.
I looked down to see my hooves in the worst condition they had ever been in. They were chipped in some spots with cuts everywhere. I could see the nerve tissue you in one of the larger chippings and the blood dripping from it. The only reason my lower legs were fine was due to my skirt.
Trying to ignore the pain, I half hobbled, half limped, my way through the trees towards the sound.
Suddenly, something closed around my throat and pushed me back into a tree, my head bouncing off the bark and dazing me.
When my eyes cleared, my heart skipped a beat.
"Surprised to see me, Shy?... Thought so. You probably want to know how in Celestia's green Equestria I managed to be here. Well, as luck would have it, I've been with the knight of muscles and stupidity over there." He cocked his head toward light streaming through some thick trees about twenty feet away. I could only guess there was a clearing over there and Light was in it. I could still hear him crying.
"I saw him run out of the house in tears. I knew you would follow and that you would find him. So, I followed him and waited. And what do you know, it payed off! Thank Luna! Now sister, I'm done playing games. You're going to give me what I want wether you like it or not."
His hand tightened around my throat and I started gasping. I felt the blood rushing to my face. I tried struggling, but I could barely raise my hand let alone hit him.
Just before I passed out, he loosened his grip.
"I can't have you pass out on me. It wouldn't make for a very comfortable bonding time." His right hand grabbed my shirt and pulled, tearing off the front and exposing my bra underneath.
I tried desperately to do anything, but my body just wouldn't respond. I had spent up the last kernel of energy I had trying not to pass out. And because of it, my brother could do whatever he wanted with me.
He started rubbing his hand along my body, touching all of my sensitive spots for what felt like forever.
When he was fed up with this, he grabbed me and started rubbing my marehood through my clothes.
"Come on sister, I know you like what I'm doing to you. I've been watching you for years do things to yourself. I know what gets you off. Every little thing. I know you're an animal in bed, enjoying every last drop of it. It's the only time you're ever completely comfortable. You love being equal with Light in the bedroom instead of dependent on him or the other way around like with everything else. I know every last, little thing about you. You can't resist forever." He whispered to me.
With each word, I grew a little more terrified. He had been spying on me for the past seventeen years at least. He had seen me mate with Light, multiple times. I just couldn't wrap my head around how sick and twisted my brother really was. He didn't just lust after me, he was obssessed.
Eventually, he became bored with this too and grabbed at my bra. When he couldn't get the clip with one hand, he pushed his shoulder into me and used both, undoing the clasp and bearing my breasts for himself.
"I haven't seen your breasts in a while, Shy. They look even bigger up close. I know most pegasi prefer sleeker bodies, but I personally love voluptuous mares." He started kneading them in his hands, pushing every soft and tender part he could and sending electricity up my spine in the process.
He soon got his wish. My body stopped listening to my mind and prepared itself to mate.
"There we go." He said when he felt my marehood.
I still couldn't call out to Light. I didn't even know if he was still out there since the crying had stopped. Rain was blocking everything and I couldn't even remember where the clearing was in the first place.
Then, something warm slapped me on the thigh.
I looked down and gagged instantly. I would have puked if I had, had anything in my stomach. But my body had used everything during the night.
Standing completely hard and in the open was my brothers stallion hood. It was smaller than Light's, but Light was bigger than Rain in every regard. But no matter how different I wanted it to be, it looked almost exactly like Light's. Same shape, same tones and grooves. Everything but actual color and length.
He moved his hand down to my skirt and pulled it up and put it in his teeth so he didn't have to hold it with his free hand. Then he grabbed my panties and pushed them to the side, allowing him to see me completely.
"P...please..." I managed to say while shaking my head.
"I will happily oblige, Shy." He responded while smiling and talking with my skirt still in his teeth, ignoring my head shaking.
Then, his right hand disappeared. After a few seconds, I felt his warmth on my marehood.
I prayed to Celestia and Luna. Anything but this, anything.
Suddenly, I felt a small surge of energy.
"Light, he-!" I yelled as loud and as desperately as I could before his hand tightened over my throat again.
"We can't have him helping you now, can we? Isn't it ironic, though? Your so called protector just over yonder and doing nothing to help you. You ran yourself ragged trying to find him and you were infintessimaly close. Yet, it was all for nothing." He said with a hint of satisfaction in his voice before loosening his hand right before I passed out.
That was it. He would mate with me. There was nothing more I could do to stop him. Rain had won.
I closed my eyes and waited for it. I could hear Rain's hard breathing at the anticipation and built up lust of almost two decades of longing.
I felt it brush up against me, moving up and down and wallowing in my juices.
He started pushing it in, then it disappeared. Then Rain's hand disappeared as well.
Without its support, I fell to the ground limply.
I opened my eyes as far as I could, the tears I didn't know I had been shedding blurring my vision.
I saw through the blurriness a large creature holding something pink and yellow up in its hands.
I blinked as much as I could to see what would be the end of me, thankful to it for stopping my brother from violating me any furthur.
When I could see again, I saw Light standing over Rain's limp body with his back to me.
He just looked at Rain's body for a while. Then he turned towards me and walked over.
His eyes were full of concern and fear.
"Light..." I croaked. My head resting on the ground felt like it was going to explode.
"Fluttershy." He said with concern while he kneeled down to me.
He looked me over with a look of outright terror and sadness.
Without saying anything more, he picked me up and carried me, keeping me secure in his arms.
I didn't know where he had gotten the strength to do all this. He had run longer than I had and had just saved me on top of it, but I wouldn't question a miracle.
He brought me through a small break in the trees that I recognized as the one Rain had shown me leading to the clearing.
When we broke through, I saw a large patch of grass with a small pond in the middle. It was about as big as my first floor.
Next to the pond was a large boulder that looked like it had been worn away over the period of several decades.
He brought me over to the pond and laid me against the rock. He made sure I wouldn't fall over before going to the pond.
He cupped his hands and dipped them in the water. He then came back and positioned his hands above my mouth. I opened it for him and he let the water spill slowly through his fingers.
It felt amazing to feel the water go down, rehydrating my parched throat and mouth.
When the last of the water had fallen through his hands, he stood up again and went back over to the pond. I felt terrible when he went to the pond. Even though he was only a few feet away, it felt like an entire universe was between us. But I just didn't have the energy to move myself. The water was helping though.
He repeated the process a few more times before I managed to speak.
He had just finished letting the water drip through his fingers when I said something and he was about to get up.
"No." I managed to get out.
"Don't... don't leave." I pleaded with him.
"You need water and food, and you are hurt." He said.
I managed to grap his wrist, my tiny hand barely getting three quarters around his massive forearm.
He looked at me with a frown.
"I don't want you to leave me. Ever." I told him weakly.
I managed to get my body off of the boulder even though my head felt like it weighed a million pounds.
He turned his body to face mine, kneeling in the process.
I tried moving forward, but just collapsed. I was just too exhausted and Rain had left me terrified.
But he caught me in his arms. My head laying on his chest.
"Please...hold me." I managed to get out.
He shifted so he was sitting. He pulled me so that I was sitting on his lap, resting my head on his chest, and wrapped in his arms.
I managed to move my arms up to his face and made him look down at me.
I pulled him down and kissed him as hard as I could.
The dam broke and a flood of tears came out. The kiss fell apart and I pushed my head into his chest and held on to his shirt for all I was worth.
I hadn't realized just how terrified I was of Rain and his sick advances, and how terrified I was of never seeing Light again. The overwhelming pain of it all came crashing down on me.
Light just held me. And held me.
I cried until I ran out of tears, but I couldn't stop shaking. I just couldn't.
We stayed there for hours, holding each other.
I noticed the sun starting to set, the sky turning orange and red.
"Light?" I said.
He grunted.
I hesitated at first, not sure how I would do it. Then I looked him in the eyes and I poured my heart out to him, telling him everything that I could. How I felt, and how what he felt wasn't true. I told him as much as I could, eventually only stopping because my throat hurt too much.
He looked at me with a blank stare.
I reached my neck up and kissed him.
"I love you, Light Weight."
He focused on me after those words.
He pulled me tighter to himself. I could feel his tears running down his cheeks a few minutes later.
In response, I held on tighter to him.
"I will NEVER leave you again." He cried to me in a whisper.
No matter how much you may think otherwise, someone always loves you and always will. Even if you may not be able to touch that someone anymore, they are still with you in your heart. Love never dies, it just takes on a new shape. You but only need to embrace it.
