//------------------------------// // A Quiet Moment Among Friends // Story: The Geas // by Jaycren //------------------------------// Sunset stood in front of her apartment, holding her arms against the chill in the air. Glancing to the 7 friends that had chosen to join her. Trixie and Wallflower had both gone to their respective jobs, Flash, it seemed, was hesitant to be near Garm again, and her Mother and Aunt both had to make their way back to Equestria. Both were escorted by the principal and vice-principal. Sunset turned to her friends uncertain and confused, seeing in their smiling faces not the comfort she expected. Facing her apartment once again to hide the gathering tears, she shivered once again. "It's okay to be afraid." Princess Twilight began. "Indeed, it would be illogical to be anything else." Sci-Twi finished. "Heck, Sugarcube any one of us would be afraid to walk in there." "Yeah, I mean he did remove the limb of a Goddess, so imagine what he could do to you!" Pinkie exclaimed. Another shiver ran down Sunset Shimmer's spine, the tears coming unbidden. Wrapping her arms tighter around herself she shuddered violently, a sound halfway between a sob and a moan at the thought of what Garm could do to her echoing from her mouth. "Pinkie!!!!!" Rainbow admonished the pink party girl, "Stop making Sunset even more terrified!" Fluttershy pushed forward, and to the surprise of all, hugged Sunset close. The normally shy girl held her former tormenter turned friend tightly until Sunset calmed herself. Cooing softly to the bigger girl, she waited till Sunset's episode had quieted. Fluttershy looked to the rest of her friends and said. "Girls, I really don't think this is fear." Rarity came forward and placed her hand on Sunset's shoulder, placing her other hand against Sunset's check she agreed with her animal loving friend. "Indeed it's not. At least not for herself. This is something else Darlings." Looking deep into Sunset Shimmer's eyes the purple haired fashionista got her confirmation as Sunset averted her gaze. "Do you want to tell them or should I, darling?" Sunset's lips quivered and her tears began again, only to have Fluttershy grip her harder. "You really should tell them." Fluttershy hummed. "I'm sure everyone will understand." Sunset nodded, her tears unable to resist Rarity's persistence or Fluttershy's cuteness overload. "Guys, I'm not afraid of what he can do to me, because I've been missing it since he did it so well the last time!!!!! The effect of Sunset's yell was immediate. Both Twilights went from lavender to scarlet. Rainbow stiffened and gave the Twilights good competition in who could get closer to the color of a tomato. Applejack took a step back then lowered her hat to hide her own deepening blush. Pinkie's smile threatened to give her a flip top head, as she began to vibrate in place with the amount of questions she had for the former mean girl. Rarity let loose a squee, then fixed Sunset a sultry smile that begged for all the details of Sunset and Garm's last rendezvous. Fluttershy hugged Sunset tighter, trying to hide her face in the taller girl's chest. Disentangling herself from Fluttershy, Sunset turned to Princess Twilight. "Alright, Twilight you have yet to experience this as you're still a virgin, but when a unicorn is as powerful as us it can have a certain side effect on our sexual needs. Are you aware of what I'm talking about?" The Princess flushed brighter as she nodded, unable to answer her best friends query. "Good, so basically girls when a Unicorn of either sex has a vast pool of magic to draw upon, it means that they go longer before climax. Excellent for a Stallion, but ..." "Ugh, totally suck balls for the mares," Pinkie finished, then grimaced as she continued, "even in magical horse land a girl can't get no satisfaction." Sunset gestured violently to Pinkie, "Excactly! It can take hours for me to even get myself off! But Garm he can...." Sunset closed her eyes, licking her lips at the memory, when she continued she moaned the words, "he can bring me to multiple finishes within seconds, the last time we were together I had to refurnish my apartment. I had to fix walls, fuck, I had to treat my bedroom as a Biohazard event and burn and/or otherwise safely dispose of everything in there. I lost two of my guitars, as well as had to seal the grave of my former pet against dark magic for fear of it rising again." Seeing the glare Fluttershy was sending her way, Sunset responded, "Please don't hate me for that, I was a different person and I had had nothing satisfying since I forced Prince Blueblood, back in Equestria, to shove his horn deep into my pussy and use his telekinesis to get me off. I was desperate!" seeing the looks her friends were now giving her she took a breath. "Yes, well, I'm different now and I in no way would ever hurt another in anyway, even if Wishbone did end his life in the best way a doggy can." Sunset's eyes narrowed as her friends all took a step back. "Don't Judge me." Fluttershy closed her eyes and snorted air out her nose, placing her hand on Sunset' shoulder, she said "We, don't. Whatever you and Garm get up to in the bedroom is between you and him. However..." Fluttershy slammed her fist into Sunset's stomach, sending Shimmer forward, "You also deserved that, I helped you find that Jack Russel." Fluttershy whispered in the ear of the doubled over girl. Nodding Sunset got back up, "You're right, I deserved that. I deserve even worse from Garm. Which is what has me so worried. In that apartment Garm waits for me to finish breaking the Geas and set him free." Holding her hand up to stop the protestations from her friends, she clarified. "Which I will do, but I'm terrified that I'll lose him. It's more then the sex too. He was always in my corner, he was the closest thing to a friend I ever had. He was more than my bodyguard or my agent, he served as my confidant, my trusted second in command. Then he left and I was alone, for the first time ever completely alone. It broke me, I don't know if I can survive it happening again. Losing him." The twin Twilights rushed to their friend, hugging her tight, soon joined by the rest of the girls. A circle of protection from all Sunset's fears. A reminder that Sunset was not alone this time, and that regardless of Garm's actions she would never be alone again.
