Chapter 26:Prisoner, A Decisive Decision

A nightmare was now growing for poor Heavy Weight over night, for he did not no it yet, but he was now the princesses prisoner. The night was long, cold, and scary for him, for he could barely sleep as his body felt her magic binding him to princess Celestia's will, the chains felt cold against his body as he trembled and quivered against their constriction. He could hear the chains rattle and bang against his legs as he tossed and turned to try and get comfy, but nothing he did worked.

He whimpered and moaned in complete anguish with the princesses actions, he remember how she actually hugged him just so she could get close enough to perform this curse he is now stuck with. He felt angry, not just at the princess, but at himself as well, he should have known the princess would do something like this, if she was crazy enough to seal her sister away, she would be more than capable of this. He felt like a fool, he let the princess get so close to him and now she has deceived him and left him in this predicament, he barely got any sleep that night.

Suddenly as the colt laid in bed whimpering and breathing heavily with pain and shame, a faint light began to enter his bedroom, it glimmered in his eyes and slowly awakened him as his eyes fluttered open. He could see the light of the sun reaching all around his bedroom lighting it up as he slowly got up from his bed, but just as he got up, he was once again restrained by the cold hard and magical chains of the princess. He felt his movement cease as the chains appeared and glow as they held him in place.

Heavy growled and struggled against the bindings to no avail, but they were too strong, the chains were made purely of the princesses magic, even he could not break them no matter how strong he was. He was barely able to stand on his bed as he growled loudly to the ceiling in a flash of rage and anger as he hopelessly struggled against the bindings, and that's when it happened.

The door to his bedroom opened and with it came the princess herself, she entered quietly and opened the blinds to his windows to let more sun enter his room. She was even humming a little tune as the room went silent with everything else, Heavy watched as the princess casually walked around his room with a smile on her face. She took a good long look out the window at the new day she had risen for Equestria before letting out a sigh and turning to Heavy while he just glared at her silently.

"This is quite a beautiful day we have this fine morning... Don't you agree Heavy Weight?"Celestia chirped with a strong smile holding.

"Let me out of these chains...!"Heavy growled in anger as the chains reappeared.

"Very well, just don't go anywhere,"Celestia said as she lit up her horn and made the chains disappear,"I would suggest you do as I say... We have a lot of work to do."

Heavy suddenly jumped off the bed and was making for the door, but the princess was quick and flared her horn before the chains came back and the hoof print symbol showed itself on his side. Heavy then suddenly felt the chains tighten around him and force him to the floor with a loud thud, he hugged the floor as he hopelessly struggled against the chains once more, it was then that he could see the princess standing before him.

"Let me go! you said you would let me go!"Heavy yelled as he struggled against the chains.

"I told you not to go anywhere, as I have said last night, I will be watching over you, and you will go where I go,"Celestia explained as she loosen the chains a bit and connected a set to her horn,"If you do not listen or should you try to fight, the chains will tighten and I will be force to use some rather unorthodox spells to calm your mind."

"This isn't fair! You can't do this to me!"Heavy yelled as he frantically struggled against the princesses hold.

Suddenly Heavy felt himself froze before his head began to pound like a drum, he felt static suddenly striking his brain as he screamed in pain and struggled even more before he felt the pain constrict his legs and force him to his belly once more. He looked up and saw a lightning bolt from the princesses horn striking his head proving to be the source of this mysterious pain, and finally she ceased her spell on him and allowed him to get up.

"Why... Are you doing this...? Do you have any idea how much that hurts?!"Heavy said with little breathe and an exhausted mind.

"This is for your own good Heavy Weight... Please do not provoke me to use this spell any more than I have to,"Celestia said with a solemn look while forcing him by the chains around his neck to pull him to his hooves,"Now come along, the day is just beginning, and breakfast is soon serve, we mustn't keep them waiting."

With that the princess took the lead and pulled Heavy to her side like a dog as they made their way out of his room just for Heavy to be on display for the four guards in the room that looked onward to the chains that bind him with shock. The princess then lit up her horn and made both of them disappear in a flash of bright yellow light, leaving a bunch of guards shocked by what they had just bare witnessed.

An hour later down through the halls of the castle, the princess and Heavy Weight were now seated in a royal dining room, it was large and fancy, the table was large enough to fit ten ponies. Celestia sat at the head of the table dignified and smiling brightly like the sun she controlled, while Heavy Weight on the other hoof sat at the side of the table shaking and still feeling her magic all around him, he felt like an animal in chains.

He did not dare look upon the princess for he could easily be tortured greatly by her in an instant, but his rage and his hate proved other wise as he now thought of nothing more than what is now happening to him. He turned to the princess and saw nothing but red, his hate, his fury burned for her, she was acting like this was not a problem at all, but Heavy would beg to differ. He gritted his teeth and looked to the table wanting to yell and shout at the princess, but he did not wish to provoke another shock like what happened before in the bedroom.

Suddenly he then heard a snicker from one of the guards that were positioned right in front of the dining room doors, he snapped his head and looked upon two guards at the door. They appeared to be standing firm, but he then noticed a smirk had crept up the side of the guard on the right's face.

"Do you find something funny...?"Heavy aid in a low and intimidating voice.

"That's enough Heavy Weight, just ignore them and pay attention, breakfast is soon to be served,"Celestia ordered to Heavy while the colt just glared at her,"Do not give me that look Heavy, or I will be forced to perform the spell again, lets not make this day turn sour."

"Funny how the great Heavy Weight can be suddenly so tame by the harsh words of a princess, perhaps he's not as unstoppable as we thought..."The right guard whispered to the left as the left guard chuckled.

"Why don't you two come over here and say that to my face you trash!"Heavy yelled as he threatened to get out of his seat to throttle the guard.

Suddenly Heavy Weight felt a jolt strike his mind just as he got out of his seat and he immediately fell to the floor in agony as he felt the sting of the princesses displeasure stabbing his very brain with punishment. He growled loudly as he held his head in a desperate attempt to cease the pain in his head, but it was hopeless as he laid there and took it from Celestia. The chains made it even worse as the constricted him and forced his hooves away from his head as he laid there in torment.

Finally after a few minutes of jolting pain, the spell ceased and his mind felt exhausted but free as he slowly began to stand up, he looked at her as her magic glowed and slowly loosened the chains once more allowing him to stand and move.

"Come back to the table and ignore them Heavy, breakfast has arrive,"Celestia said in a firm tone as a chef stallion was now passing around eggs, and juice,"And guards! Do not mock him for his punishment!"

"Yes princess!"Both guards said in unison.

Heavy just shook off the pain as he glared back at her before he felt the chains appear right before his eyes, he then felt them pull him away from the guards and force him towards the table. He slowly made his way back to his chair and climbed up upon it just in time to be served some eggs and orange juice, but this luxury was not for him, and in his mind this punishment, this enslavement was not for him, yet he remained quiet.

"Enjoy yourself Heavy Weight, for our next trip is to the library, and this time I will be in charge of what you read,"Celestia said reforming her smile as she began to eat breakfast,"Do not worry though, you will learn quite a bit with me right by your side."

"I hate you..."Heavy said under his breath.

He then looked away from the princess before finally picking up a fork and beginning to eat breakfast quietly, he continued to glare as he ate with good manners, but with strong desires of violence coursing through his body. The princesses snare was firm on him, he felt like a prey enslaved by it's predator rather than just eaten, for the very first time, Heavy felt weak and inferior.

Later that day, Heavy was now in the castles library reading a small book on self control, never in his life did he see himself reading such a book like this, but it was the one that the princess had picked out for him. He looked up from the book and saw the princess reading a book from right across the table, she looked to Heavy with a raised eye brow as Heavy then looked down at the book he read.

He felt so ridiculous to be reading such a book, he wanted to puke but the princess was watching him and last thing he needed was her to be alerted to the growing anger within him, so he just pretended to like the book. He quickly took a few glimpses up at the princess as he was trying to formulate a plan to get away from her, he was scheming for a bit before he finally decided that it was time to play the trick.

"Princess? Can I have your help with something here?"Heavy asked putting his book down for a moment.

"Of course Heavy Weight, I'll be right over,"Celestia said as she put down a book she too was reading.

Heavy watched her close as she casually made her way around the table and slowly approached Heavy Weight with a confident smile, but her smile then got shorter as she felt a sting in her heart from Heavy's stare. She stood by his side finally and looked down at the book he was reading, it appeared to be a few tips on anger control, page one, breathing exercises. Celestia chuckled at what he was reading and patted him on the back proudly almost as she began to explain.

"These are simple breathing exercises my faithful student, they help with controlling anger, a very good start for controlling great anger and hatred,"Celestia said while looking at the starting positions for breathing,"Oh this is simple really Heavy, all you must do is take the deepest breath you can when you're angry and let it out deeply."

Celestia then began to mimic the breathing exercise just for Heavy as he stared at her with a raised eye brow, he watched as she kept on mimicking the exercise, it was when he noticed her horn glowing that he knew what was coming if he did not follow along. She knew he was angry and was ready to use the spell again if he did not use this time to learn how to control his anger.

Finally Heavy gave in and started to perform the breathing exercise with her, he took a deep breath in before letting it out deeply while watching the princesses movements. Her eyes were looking upon him with fascination on how he was finally mimicking her and doing as she had commanded, it felt almost too good to be true. For Heavy Weight that was true, it was too good to be true for he was waiting for the princess to drop her guard and finally once her eyes were nice and wide from the practice breathing they did together, that's when he struck.

Suddenly as he was coming off from another deep breath, Heavy looked to the princess who was looking to him and suddenly lit up his horn before unleashing a great flash of light from his eyes. The light blinded the princess and made her cry out in sudden blindness, she held her eyes with both front hooves and fell to her flank as Heavy then saw the opportunity and jumped out of his chair. Heavy then frantically ran for the door as the princess whimpered and growled in her struggle with the blindness in her eyes.

"Heavy Weight! Get back here right NOW!"The princess called out as the colt jumped out of the library and slammed the door behind him.

Heavy was already long gone out the door and running through the hall ways as he heard the princesses calls fade, he was desperate, he took care not to attract any of the guards, he now knew this place inside and out. He knew where to go so he would not have guards pursuing him, but now that he did escape, he now had no idea where to even go, he was so caught up in escaping the princess that he did not think of where he would go if the plan worked.

He was now into a small hall way and realized where this hall way would take him, he then picked up the pace as he now had an idea of where to go, and as he picked up the pace he then suddenly entered the main hall. He stopped a moment and thought for a moment, but he couldn't waste time for he knew Celestia was probably on his tail right now, and who knew what she was planning to do when she found him.

He then saw the main doors that lead out of the castle and immediately ran for it, in the distance he could hear many hooves running through the halls, the princess was hunting him, and he had to escape her. He quickly made it to the door, and he quickly swung them open with one blast of his magic only to get a big surprise as he froze to see Twilight Sparkle just standing at the entrance in complete surprise to see Heavy so scared and panting from exhaustion.

"Heavy? What's going on Heavy? Why are you so sweaty?"Twilight questioned before noticing fear in Heavy's voice.

"Twilight! You have to help me, the princess is keeping me against my will, she's put a curse on me and now she has me bind by chains,"Heavy said showing the mark on his side,"You have to get me out of here, she's going to keep me like this until she practically fries everything out of my brain!"

"What...? That doesn't make any sense Heavy, Why would the princess do that?"Twilight said in shock while looking at the colts side.

"I don't know...! But you have to get me out of here before -"Heavy started before he was suddenly tackled by a guard.

Twilight watched completely mesmerized by what she just saw as she watched Heavy and the guard fly down the steps and slam to the ground, the guard then began to wrestle with Heavy and attempt to restrain him.

"I got him! But I need some back up!"The guard yelled as he pinned Heavy.

"No...! Let him go!"Twilight called out as she rushed down the steps.

She then lit up her horn as she suddenly picked the guard that had her colt friend pinned and tossed the guard against the wall, the guard slid down the wall and groaned in pain while Twilight helped Heavy to his hooves.

"Heavy... Why is this happening?"Twilight questioned fearfully.

"This is the punishment Twilight, she says she wants my mind to be calm, but she's jolting my brain every time I so much as fight just a little bit,"Heavy explained while Twilight shook her head in disbelief," You have to help me Twilight!"

Suddenly Twilight felt an aura of gold surround her as chains surround the colt and pull him down to the ground again, at the same time a group of guards jumped on top of Heavy to keep him there as the princess appeared from the door way. The princess let out a sigh as she walked down the steps calmly and slowly approached the colt, but not before releasing Twilight from her magical hold.

"Princess Celestia? What's going on...? What are you doing to him?!"Twilight exclaimed while the princess stood before the dog pile of guards.

"Guards! Move away from him quickly!"Celestia ordered as the guards were quick to move off the colt.

As they got up and left, Heavy was then revealed panting and almost out of energy as he looked up solemnly at the princess, no longer able to fight, he closed his eyes and opened them to look towards Twilight who looked to him fearfully. He reached for her begging for her to help him, but she did not move an inch for she was too scared to do anything. It was then that Heavy was hit with a dust of golden magic and slowly fell to sleep as his hoof hit the ground and he drifted off to sleep, leaving Twilight in complete shock and confusion.

"I'm sorry you had to see that Twilight, I was just putting Heavy's mind at ease,"The princess said as she stood tall and turned to Twilight with a solemn look,"Do not worry, I'm just doing this with him until he is calm and collective, I don't want you or any pony else to be caught in the monstrous fighting that Heavy started yesterday, this will help him..."

"But he looks so scared, why chains? Why does he need all this? He's not an animal!"Twilight exclaimed as she watched the guards pick Heavy up and carry him back into the castle.

"This will ensure that he does not become the animal I saw in him, please Twilight... Do not fear, he will be alright,"Celestia said as she gestured to the door to the castle,"Come now Twilight Sparkle, we should begin today's lessons, I'm sure you're eager to learn a great deal of magic today."

Twilight stood there as she watched the princess taking the lead, this was officially the craziest day she has had so far, she was so confused, she did not know what to think of what she saw, so she shook it off and followed the princess into the building. Thinking no more of what she saw, she entered the castle and was now about to see far more of what is now changing around not just her, but Heavy Weight as well.

Two Years Later

For over two years young Heavy Weight lived by these new set of rules, and it was becoming a nightmare for him, it was unimaginable and there was nothing him or Twilight could do about it. He now barely spoke to princess Celestia for she was practically his warden now, and he was her personal prisoner. Heavy however was biding his time, he grew quite a bit since then, he had grown tall and was tall enough to reach the princesses neck with his horn, his eyes were now an even darker shade of black and were almost to the point of becoming pitch black.

After all this time of being shocked in the brain and constricted beyond all belief, Heavy felt his mind drifting towards the point of insanity, his hate for the princess was slowly growing over the years, her very face made him glare at her as if he was begging for her to die. Those stares would also lead to Celestia's magical shock therapy, and it made her grow ever more fearful of her student, but she remembered that she must never show such emotion in front of her faithful student, even if this one had lost faith in her.

Heavy was now kept in solitude since his blow out the first day, he barely got any visitors except the princess and of course Twilight for that matter, and he knew that Twilight was being kept in the dark about everything. Twilight however would tried to beg and plea for Heavy's freedom ever since she watched his struggle, but her pleas fell on the deaf ears of the princess.

Shining Armor recovered from the vicious beating he took, but now he kept his distance and let Celestia escort him from room to room, Heavy was now on the verge of madness, as he would sometimes struggle with the guards as well as Celestia after all... There was only so much the young colt could stand before he had enough.

It was now late in the afternoon and princess Celestia entered her throne room with a bright smile on her face, the guards at the doors saluted her as she walked right pass them and was making her way to the bedroom of Heavy Weight. Once she was at the door another pair of guards saluted her as she stood there and she let out a sigh to prepare herself.

(*knock* *knock*)

"Heavy Weight! dinner is served!" Celestia called out in a motherly voice while knocking on the door.

The door was unlocked by one of the stationed guards, the door then began to open slowly and with it Heavy slowly walked out staring at the ground in a look of pure hate and silence. The guards were dismissed, and Celestia chose to walk with Heavy all the way to the dining room, as they left the throne room, Celestia opened the doors to the hall ways and let Heavy take the lead as he slowly walked out, but she made sure that he did not escape.

She quickly activated her golden chains and made sure Heavy waited until she was at his side before they both then began to depart down the hall ways, and in route, Celestia decided to strike up a conversation.

"So Heavy how are doing with your studies? I hear you have made quite some progress with things, and your book is just about ready, maybe you could show me some other time..." she said with enthusiasm.

Heavy just looked up at her with a look of pure hate before looking down at the ground again and walking on. This worried Celestia as she ran back up to his side, she tried to stop him, but he just nudged her out of the way, she then ran up and put her hoof on his shoulder, but he just shoved it off and glared at her.

"Don't touch me..."he growled as he walked on to the dining hall.

"Heavy wait,"Celestia said as she teleported right in front of him,"I'm sorry i had to do this to you, just Please talk to me Heavy..."

"No... I hate you..."Heavy growled as they finally made it to the dining room.

Celestia let out a deep and heavy sigh before she had to put back a brave face for the ponies inside the dining room. Upon entering the dining room they were greeted by Twilight who was waving to them from a dining chair, along with Shining Armor who was stationed at the door way. Twilight was now her full size and definitely acted more full grown as she still waved more specifically to Heavy in a more romantic tone.

"Hey Heavy... How have you been doing lately?"Twilight asked nervously.

"I've been just fine..."Heavy said quietly with sarcasm as he walked over and took his place at the table right next to Twilight.

Celestia smiled as she took her seat at the head of the table. Shining wanted to speak out against Twilight sitting next to Heavy, but changed his mind remembering what happened last time he got involved with Heavy and Twilight. So Shining Armor just remained silent and stood at his stationed position while the princess noticed the two students holding hooves while they ate. The ponies were eating hay bacon and eggs, along with cups of orange juice.

Heavy ate his food quietly, with great manners and very formally, while Twilight ate hers piggishly, Heavy looked over and suppressed the urge to laugh while Shining just stood there chuckling to himself. Heavy then offered her a cloth which she used to wipe the hay bacon from face, Celestia saw this and chose to try and turn this peaceful time into another conversation.

"Well it appears you two are hitting it off quite well," Celestia commented trying to stir things up,"How has your relationship been lately?"

"It's been great princess, we have been having quite some privacy and no pony has stood between us in years, right Heavy?"Twilight asked with a small smile.

"Yeah... Sure Twilight..."Heavy said while looking at his plate that was now empty,"Can I please take my plate out and go back to my room?"

"Not without my escort Heavy...!"Celestia said firmly while Heavy glared and snorted at her.

"I'll escort him princess!" Twilight exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh Twilight, are you sure you can handle getting him back to his room?"Celestia asked knowing of the bond and care the two shared.

"Of course princess, just get his plate to a sink and take him back to the room, don't worry, he won't run from me,"Twilight said with a fake smile that Heavy noticed.

"Very Well Twilight, you may escort him to the kitchen and backed to his room,"Celestia said with a smile as Twilight got out of her seat and smiled back.

Twilight smiled as she nudged Heavy and winked at him, he in returned let out a kind chuckle and also smiled at her as he then began to follow her to the kitchen sink to put his plate away. When his plate was away he followed Twilight who was waiting for him outside the kitchen ready to go, he then took the lead while Twilight rested her head on his shoulder as they walked.

He barely seemed to noticed as they walked past guards who were giving them confused looks, the rest of the walk was silent and peaceful as they finally entered the throne room. They then walk through the throne room as they reached Heavy's room. The two stationed guards magically unlocked the door as Heavy walked inside, they were about to close the door before Twilight rushed to them and stopped them in their tracks.

"Wait! can I talk to him before you lock him up again?"she said in almost an insulting tone to the guards.

"Hmm... Very well Ms Sparkle, just be careful that the beast does not eat you!"The guard joked as they got out of her way.

Twilight then entered as Heavy laid on his bed burying his face into the pillows, Twilight then joined him in the bed as she began to rub his back in an attempt to calm his nerves, he then lifted up his head to look at Twilight with a depressed face. She then began sharing a flurry of kissing that he gladly welcomed as she gently pinned him to the bed and shared a long session of passionate making out.

"I'm surprised she allowed you to come with me... I would have thought she would be skeptical of you visiting me..."Heavy said as he managed to lay her on the side and even gave Twilight a bit of tongue.

"I wish there was more I could have done, I pleaded with the princess to let you out more, but she won't listen to me," Twilight said sadly breaking from their kiss,"I'm sorry you're stuck like this Heavy..."

I know... There is no more reasoning with her, I feel my faith in her is gone, I can't trust a princess that does this to ponies..."Heavy said as he held her tight in their embrace of love.

"If... You can't have faith in her then, what is there to have faith in? What else is there Heavy?"Twilight asked before almost kissing him on the lips once more.

"I don't know... But I won't have to deal with it for long now,"Heavy said as he kissed her on the nose before staring solemnly at her,"I'm going to be running away from this place Twilight."

"What...! What are you saying Heavy Weight?!"Twilight exclaimed while scooting away from him in shock.

"I'm going to leave this place Twilight, Rex is going to be stationed by the door tonight, and I will handle the others before I make my escape,"Heavy explained while Twilight was shaking her head and disbelief,"Rex can also lift the spell on my side, I managed to learn that the only way for the curse to be lifted is for a unicorn or Alicorn of equal hoof size to slap the mark on my side and lift the curse with their magic, and Rex is a unicorn."

"Heavy, this is crazy, you can't do this,"Twilight said while Heavy raised an eye brow in shock,"Heavy... I don't know what I would do without you, you can't just up and leave, I won't let you!"

"Twilight are you willing to let me be trapped here rather than see me happy and free? I don't know what the princess has been telling you, but she's lying, she's keeping me miserable and a prisoner in this castle!"Heavy said while Twilight looked like she was going to cry.

"Stop it! Just stop It Heavy! I don't want to hear any more of this!"Twilight said hitting the bed as she stared at him with teary eyes.

"I'm going to do this Twilight, whether you want me to or not, I'm not going to live my life as one of Celestia's personal pets,"Heavy said with a firm stare upon his filly friend,"I'm going, and when I'm out of the castle, I will escape through the only place guards cannot follow... The special place."

Twilight then suddenly jumped off the bed and kept her head low as she walked calmly to the door, but she then stopped and looked back to Heavy with a grim look as a tear left her eyes and hit the floor.

"If you do this... I'll have no choice but to stop you Heavy, I won't lose the only friend and colt friend I ever had because of all this,"Twilight said before turning away from him and leaving his room,"Don't think I won't stop you! I have grown much stronger in the last two years, and I will defeat you if that what it takes, so please reconsider your idea...!"

"Well If that's how it's going to be...! Then fine! Get out of my room!"Heavy said while turning away from her.

Heavy laid across his bed completely spread out looking out the window as he heard Twilight close the door behind her, he saw that it was the evening now and the suns light was gleaming through his room, he then went deep into his thoughts, before making a crucial decision.

"I'm gonna do it, at sun down I'm leaving Canterlot for good, and no pony is going to stop me, not Shining, not Celestia... And not even you Twilight..." he said coldly to himself before laying down and going to sleep to save his strength for the big night.

I KNOW THIS IS A BIT RUSHED AND WHAT NOT, BUT IT WAS SO THAT I COULD FINALLY BEGIN THE BIG PROJECT WITH THE LAST TWO CHAPTERS, THE TRUE DECISIVE BATTLE BETWEEN THE TWO, THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. NEXT TIME.
