I was walking home, coming back from a fun night out with some friends. We had dinner, did karaoke, and my crush even asked me for a dance so I was still in a happy bubbly mood. I decided to take a shortcut to get home faster since it was getting so late. I didn’t know the route very well, but I knew it was the fastest way to my house. I had taken it before once or twice with a group of my friends so I at least knew the route slightly. I couldn’t help but feel an uneasiness in the air, almost as if something was lurking in the shadows.
I thought I saw something move in the corner of my eye, causing me to jump slightly as I turned toward it. I saw a unicorn stallion walk out of the shadows with dark black hair and a dark coat walk toward me. He smiled at me.
“You look frightened, my dear,” He said, his voice sweet and calm. “Don’t worry, you won’t be alone now that I’m here.”
I felt my throat close up as I stared at him. My brain was setting off so many alarms, but my body refused to respond. He slowly grew closer to me as my eyes grew wide in fear. He began walking towards me.
What does he want from me? I thought. He began to start getting too close, so I just backed away, but he kept coming closer to me until I found myself backed up against a wall. He grinned, sending chills down my spine. I stared into his eyes, glowing blood red.
“Somepony, help…” I squeaked, unable to find my voice. My body refused to move, too frightened to do anything. He let out a chuckle.
Finally, my legs responded as I ran as fast as I could. I heard him running after me.
“Get back here!” He growled.
“SOMEPONY, HELP ME!!!” I screamed, finally able to find my voice. I felt him pounce on top of me, grabbing me by the mouth. I continued screaming out for help as I felt him dragging me away into a nearby alleyway.
“Shut up!” I felt him slap my face hard, causing me to let out a frightened whimper as my screams finally died down. I cowered in fear as I slowly looked up at him. “That’s a good girl…”
He had a large grin on his face as he held a gag in his aura. I turned away, squinting my eyes tightly as he reached his hoof out toward me. He grabbed me by the chin and forced me to look at him.
"Now, be a good girl, and listen to your Master." He whispered as he levitated the gag towards my mouth.
"P-Please, just don't hurt me..." I whimpered as my body trembled.
I felt him put the gag over my mouth letting out a soft chuckle. "I can't promise that, after all, I want to have some fun tonight."
I shut my eyes tight as he said that. Tears streamed down my face. Once the gag was on, he pinned me against the wall, causing me to let out a muffled whimper. I opened my eyes slightly as I felt him lean in closer to me. He leaned over to my ear and moaned softly as he began touching me. I shook my head as I tried to mumble out in protest. That’s when everything went dark and my memory shut down.

I woke up in the middle of the street, trying to figure out what happened. I looked at the sky, finding it was almost dawn. I rubbed my head as I tried to get up, but ended up vomiting. I managed to slowly sit up and tried to recall what happened.
Why did my body scream out in pain, was I in a fight or something? Did I hit my head? Did somepony attack me?
I slowly got up, trying to hold down my insides. I felt my stomach as my eyes grew wide. I looked around me, finding blood on the ground along with other body fluids. Shock overwhelmed my mind.
"Oh, Faust..." I said, my voice shaking. I then curled into a ball and silently wept.
I’m not sure how long I layed there, but it felt like hours. I finally got up and began to walk back home.
I slowly walked to my front door and walked inside as I slowly walked up the stairs into my bedroom and cried myself to sleep.

I awoke to a knock at my door, I slowly got up, trying not to make myself sick as I walked over to my window to see who it was.
“Hey, Ellie!” I called out to my griffon friend. “What are you doing here this early?”
Ellie flew up to my window with a confused look on her face. “What do you mean?” She said. “It’s Tuesday. We’re coming to pick you up for brunch.”
“Oh…” I blushed slightly. “Right… Forgot.” I rubbed the back of my neck.
Ellie’s look of confusion quickly turned into concern. “You okay? You seem a bit… off today.”
“I’m fine!” I quickly say.
“Are you sure?
“Y-Yeah, just… didn’t sleep too great last night!” I grew a sheepish smile as I rubbed my neck more.
“Okay, if you say so. You coming or what?”
“Sorry, I’m not feeling too great today. I’ve lost my appetite.”
Once again, my friend looked at me with concern. I’m typically a type of pony who’s always hungry and my stomach is hardly satisfied. But once again she said nothing and just flew off.
I took a deep breath as I let out a sigh and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. I pulled off my sweater and threw it into the trash can then turned on the water.
Never again will I ever wear that thing. It reminds me too much of my past.
