//------------------------------// // Fluttershy & the Seven Deadly Sins ch1 // Story: Fluttershy & the Seven Deadly Sins // by Autistic Witch //------------------------------// “Home sweet home.”, I said as I closed the door to my house. It used to be a farmhouse but is now run down, and most of the land was sold off. It also has a bad reputation attached to it with stories of the old owner being a devil worshiper. As silly as those rumors were, they dropped the price enough for me to buy this place. I laid my bags in the entryway. To my left were the basement stairs and the door to the garage. To my right was the archway into the living room. Moving into the archway, to the left is the kitchen, dining room, and back door that led to the, now, miniscule backyard, and to the right is the living room with an old heating stove, a large front window, and an empty entertainment center designed for one of those big, old CRT TVs, you aren’t lifting it without at least two other people big. The place was fully furnished. Though, everything was dusty, and all the appliances are at least ten years old. Straight ahead was the hallway that led to the bedrooms and bathroom. I walked down the hallway and to the master bedroom. Given all the stories I heard, I was hesitant to enter. I otherwise wouldn’t have ever bought this place, but I can’t stand living with my brother anymore. I powered through the fear and went inside. Like the rest of the house, it was dusty. There was a bed with no a mattress, a couple of nightstands, a chest of drawers with a standard sized CRT TV on top, a shelf, and the doors to the closet and master bathroom. Even without a mattress, the bed had pillows and blankets on it. Either way, I wasn’t going to be sleeping there, so I closed the door and checked the other two rooms. Both of them were filled with mountains of garbage. I wasn’t sleeping in a bedroom, so I went back to the living room. I went over to the couch and inspected it. It looked fine, so I brushed away as much dust as I could. This would be my bed for however long. There was a closet in the hallway, likely the linen closet. I went over to check it out, and it was indeed the linen closet, filled with sheets and blankets. I pulled a couple out, opening them up and shaking out any dust or whatever was in them, brought them over to the couch, and set up for the night. With nothing else to do and it being late, I climbed into “bed” and went to sleep. “Who do you think she is?” I was stirred awake by someone speaking. It took me a moment to process what I was hearing then a cold chill ran up my spine. There were other people in my house. Did I forget to lock the door? Were they in the basement? I kept my eyes closed and kept listening. They haven’t done anything yet, so maybe they’ll leave without hurting me. “What do you think she’s doing here?”, a second voice asked. “She has a bunch of bags. Let’s just get rid of her. I’m keeping the bags.”, a third voice said. “No, she’s cute. I wanna keep her.” Unlike the previous three, this one was female. “No, I want her.”, another female voice said. “You only want her because I want her.” “Both of you, shut up.”, a third, angry sounding, female voice said. “I’m going to throw her out so we can be done with this.” I felt myself being picked up, and my eyes shot open in surprise. What I saw were seven people, all standing around and looking at me. I screamed and started kicking at the woman holding me. “Let me go! Let me go, please!” The woman’s face turned to a mix of horror and shock. “Wait, you can see us?” “Yes?”, I said, confused. The lady put me back down then the seven of them all huddled into a circle. I sat there stunned and looked over the seven people then realized that ‘people’ might not have been the correct term. The angry lady had a lion’s tail, another lady had a bright green snake’s tail instead of legs, one of the men was man sized, bipedal toad, and the woman that kept looking back at me had goat horns and had on very tight black clothes that showed off her curves and little tail. I couldn’t see the others easily, but one of them had a large snail’s body. “I’ll do the talking.” A man pushed through the circle and walked over to me. He had light purple skin; a beak-like nose; dark blue, feathery hair; beady, black eyes; and a peacock styled dress suit with white gloves and dress shoes. He looked very much like a bird but seemed to be the most human looking. “Do you own this property?”, he said in a very sophisticated tone. He also held himself like a high-class gentleman. He kinda looks like a butler. His eyes were slightly off putting, but the rest of him was objectively attractive. “I do.” He turned back to the others. “We can’t get rid of her.” “What? Why not?”, the others protested. “Who are you?”, I asked. The bird man turned back to face me with a look of disdain on his face. “We are what you humans call the Seven Deadly Sins, and you are the most pathetic looking master I’ve ever had.” “--- What?” “My question exactly.”, the angry woman said, looking even more enraged. “What in Satan’s name are you talking about?” “The way that old man summoned us means that when he died, we became bound to this house, and that means whoever owns this house is our master, and we can not do anything against her.” I just sat there, not able to make sense of any of this, but I understood that last part. “You’re not going to hurt me?” The man looked down at me then held his hand up. That hand morphed into sharp looking talons, and he swiped at me. I put my hands up to shield my face, but nothing happened. When I dared peak past my hands, I saw that his hand was stopped by some sort of energy field. The man pulled his hand back, correcting his posture, and it morphed back into a hand. “We are physically unable to harm you.” I relaxed and looked around at them. “I’m still confused as to what’s going on.” “We’re demons summoned by the previous owner of this house.”, the goat horned woman said. “We don’t know why as he died shortly after. Either way, as you now own this house, we have to obey you.” “Her? But she’s so scrawny.”, a piggish looking man said. He looked like a mostly normal, fat man with pink skin and dark green hair and beard, except he had a pig’s snout with tusks, ears, and tail. He was also quite hairy. On one of his ears hung an earring with a design that kinda looked like a dark green face. That was the best way I could describe it. He by no means stank or looked unclean as many people believe pigs to be. Pigs are actually quite clean, and he appeared to also share that trait but not to the same extent as bird man. His clothes were medieval with a green tunic, brown pants, and those shoes that were basically shoe-shaped bags. “I don’t like it either, but we have no other choice.”, the bird man said. “Um, I don’t want to make you do anything you don’t want to do.”, I said. The goat horned woman broke away from the group and sat down next to me. “Oh, please, order me around.”, she said as she rubbed my thigh. “By the way, my name is Lust.” I blushed profusely but didn’t do anything to stop her. It felt nice, and she was very attractive, especially with her almost glowing pink eyes. “M-my name is Fluttershy.” “What a pretty name, Fluttershy, or should I call you Mistress.” “Lust! That is disgusting!”, the snake woman said. Even though her snake half is green, her human half was a light tan color. She had shiny black hair and emerald green eyes. She had some scaly patches and had a forked tongue but otherwise looked human above the waist. She wore a green scaly top and gold and green jewelry, including a necklace with a design of a green circle with an arrow shape in it surrounded by a green plain circle. The ancient part of my brain that goes “NOPE!” whenever I see a snake found her off putting, but she’s otherwise very attractive, and other parts of my brain like the tail. “Ignore Envy. She’s just, well, envious. It doesn’t matter what it is. She wants it.” “There’s room on my other side, if you want.”, I said. Envy reared back as if in shock or offended then huffed and slithered away with her arms crossed. “Did I do something wrong?” “She doesn’t actually want you. She just wants whatever it is because someone else has it. The moment she has it, she doesn’t want it anymore.” “Oh”, I said disappointedly. Turning my attention back to the current situation, I still had five other demons to deal with. “What are the rest of your names?” “I am Pride.”, the bird man said. “Piggy here is Gluttony, my warty compatriot is Greed, she is Wrath, and the one with the shell is Sloth.” “Maybe we can eat her.”, Gluttony suggested. “We can’t harm her, and even if we could, you’re not eating my master.”, Greed said. He was one of the least human looking ones, looking like a humanoid toad with yellow blotches on his brown skin. He wore a suit with no shoes and had a pin that’s design is of a circle around another circle that goes through three other circles, all colored yellow. “At least we’ll have something ta do.”, Wrath said. She had golden skin, golden eyes, and dusty red, thick curly hair that could best be described as a lion’s mane that also previously obscured her lion ears. Her face was also very cat-like with a broad, flat nose. She wore cargo pants, combat boots and a black sports bra that showed off her ample, tightly packed muscles that would put professional athletes to shame and had a red inverted pentagram on it. She was also very attractive but was also disturbingly familiar to Sunset Shimmer. “Hey! Sloth! Wake up!” Sloth poked his head out of his shell then slowly came out the rest of the way. He was by far the least human looking of them all. He looked like a centaur but replace the horse body with a snail's body. His skin is gray but his shell is a dark purple color with a purple circle with another circle at the bottom of it in the center, and he has no hair. He’s also the only one not wearing any clothes. “What?”, he said sleepily. “We have a master to serve. You need to pull your weight.” “Oh, okay.”, he said before going back into his shell. Wrath became enraged by this and looked about ready to pummel him, and Pride looked absolutely fed up with everybody. “It’s okay. He can sleep if he wants.”, I said quickly to ease Wrath. “As you wish.”, Wrath said, calming down. “Aw, you are such a benevolent master.”, Lust said, moving her hand to my crotch. If we were alone, this would be great, but we had four sets of eyes on us. “Not now, Lust, later.” Lust looked at the others as if she just remembered they were there and pulled back. “As you command.” I took this opportunity to really look her over. As well as the goat horns and tail, she has goat ears and hairy legs, but her feet seem to be human along with her eyes. Her hair’s mostly a light cream with some pink stripes going through it. Her skin is also a creamy tan. She wore a black leather crop top with a design similar to the taijitu but without the two dots and the outline was pink while both of the teardrops were black, black booty shorts, and black ankle boots. Dang, she is pretty. Before I could savor her, my phone alarm went off. “Oh crap, I gotta get to work.” I jumped off the couch and ran over to my luggage to grab my uniform then to the bathroom to change. When I got out of the bathroom and re-entered the living room, I was stopped by Pride. “What is this job you need to get to?” “Um, I work at Burger Queen and BellTaco.” “And what is your role at this Burger Queen and BellTaco?” “I’m a dishwasher at both.” Pride seemed unhappy with my answer but stepped out of my way. I rushed out to my car, grabbing the bag with my change in uniform along the way, and hurried to work. I walked out of the BellTaco, my entire front half wet. My hands were dry, and I felt gross, as much from the mounds of dirty dishes I washed as the sad excuse of a meal I carried in a to-go bag. Burgers for lunch and tacos for dinner. That has been my life since college. A week’s worth of healthy food coasts $130. Every meal I can get for free I need to take. I sat down on the curb near my car to eat, and for the first time, I had time to really think about the situation I was in. Okay, I have seven demons living with me. Do they need to eat? They’ve survived this long without food. Where do they sleep? “Fluttershy?”, a familiar voice called out. I looked up to see Rainbow Dash walking over to me. She’s even more beautiful than I remember. I’ve seen her on the sports channel, the only reason why I watch it, but she’s even prettier in person. She’s always been fit, but her body’s matured, and she’s now a lean, muscular woman with defined chin and cheek bones. She’s still on the shorter side, about my chin height, but that’s no dealbreaker. Lust is a couple inches shorter than her. She’d cut her to where the hair on top and back was only a few inches and the hair on the sides was less than an inch and then just let it all do its thing, but I couldn’t put a name to it. Her clothing style hadn’t changed at all since high school. “Hey, Rainbow.” “You… don’t smell great.” Blunt as always. “Yeah, cleaning mounds of dishes will do that.” Rainbow sat down next to me. She also didn’t exactly smell like flowers. “Long time no see.” “Yeah, it has been. You seem to be doing well though.” “Yeah, life’s been good. How ‘bout you? I thought you said you want to work with animals.” “I did. I still do, but vet school took such a toll on my mental health that I had to drop out. I would like to try again someday.” “Dang that sucks.” We sorta just fidgeted awkwardly as neither of us apparently knew what to say. We hadn’t really talked since our friend group fell apart. This was the first time we’d even seen each other since she went off to play for the state soccer team. We have no idea how to talk with each other anymore. “Well, it’s been nice.”, Rainbow said before getting up and going inside. I didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye. I finished up my food then got in my car to go home. Upon getting home, I parked my car in the driveway, the garage door didn't work, and went inside. The first thing I noticed upon opening my door was that my bags were gone. Did Greed take my bags? Seriously? I walked inside and nearly jumped out of my skin when Pride materialized out of nowhere and the lights turned on on their own. “Welcome home, Lady Fluttershy.”, he said with a slight bow. He had his hand against his chest, and I could see his symbol. His was a pyramid-like shape with an eye-like on top and eleven lines connecting to the surrounding circle. “Um, thank you.” I walked into the living room and noticed that everything had been cleaned. There wasn’t a speck of dust on anything. “Did you do this?” “I helped.”, Lust said, appearing right beside me and making me jump again. She was wearing a maid outfit, the bedroom kind, but her symbol was still on her chest. “You guys need bells!” “Oh” Lust stood up straight and manifested a color with a bell on it around her neck. “Will this work?” “To answer your question, yes. No master of mine will live in such filth.”, Pride said. “Did you also move my bags?” “Yes, they are in the back of your closet, and their contents have been put away properly.” “Uh, you mean, like, in the master bedroom?” “It only seemed appropriate.” I walked down the hallway and into the bedroom. Like the living room, it was clean, and the bed was made, with a mattress. “Where did you find the mattress?” “It was in the basement. I couldn’t tell you why the previous master had it down there. Now, before you retire for the night, we need to have a talk.” “I have some questions for you too.” Pride nodded, and we went back into the living room. “Okay, first question, where are the others and where did you come from when I got back?” “We can dematerialize ourselves to exist solely in the aether, and that is where the others are. What you see before you is merely a consolidated form that we use to interact with the physical world. However, we can not stay in this form indefinitely and must return to the aether to “sleep”, as you would put it.” “Oh, okay. I take it this means you don’t need to eat.” “Correct, we can eat, and Gluttony very much enjoys devouring everything, but we have no need to, and I personally despise the idea of such a thing. To put such inside my perfect body, revolting.” “Pride, lord of the ego. I’m surprised his hasn’t suffocated us all.”, Lust mocked. “Watch your tone, you sullied creature.”, he said contemptuously. “Okay, knock it off, you two.”, I said before it could escalate. “Did you clean the whole house?” “Yes”, Pride said. “Then what’d you do with all the garbage?” “I converted it to energy that I’m currently storing for later use.” “You can convert matter into energy?” “Yes, and back into a more useful form.” “I don’t have to pay for trash services.” That’s one less bill to worry about. “Are you done with your questions?” “Yes, what did you want to talk about?” “To be blunt, you are not a master worthy of me. A perfect being such as myself should not bow down to any entity, but there is nothing I can do about that. So, I’ve decided to at least attempt to make you a worthy master.” I stood there, stunned at looking up at the tall demon. What? “What birdy where means is that we’re gonna help you out of this funk you’re in.”, Lust said, snuggling up next to me. “That is assuming you didn’t want to be a dishwasher for the rest of your life.” “No, I wanted to be a veterinarian.” “What is a veterinarian?”, Pride asked. “A doctor that treats animals.” “Hm, a profession that actively fights God. That is something I can get behind.”, he said with a smile that made a chill run up my spine. “Heheh, let’s get you clean and into bed.”, Lust said. “I’d be more than happy to help you, Mistress.” I felt myself get wet between my legs. Lust is hot, and I dig the animal features. She dragged me to the master bedroom then stripped me. I’ve never had this kind of intimacy before. Feeling her hands brush against my skin was great. Though, it felt different from a human’s touch. Her skin was colder, not ice cold but colder, and her touch was tingly, like the most mild of static shock. She is pure energy, so it kinda makes sense. She pushed me back onto the bed once she got me naked and put her finger to my lips. “Wait here. I’ll draw you a bath.” I watched her swing her ass as she walked into the bathroom. I heard the water running for a while before hearing it stop. Lust sauntered back out and pulled me into the bathroom. My nose was immediately hit by a sweet floral scent, and the bath was filled with bubbles. I don’t own any bubble bath. “Where did you get the bubble bath?” “I said I helped clean up. I have loads of extra energy to do with as I please.” “Oh, I thought you were just trying to earn brownie points.” “Are you accusing me of lying?”, she asked in a mock offended tone. She was so animated and exaggerated her expression so much that it was easy to tell she was joking. “I clearly misjudged you.” I climbed into the bath and felt the warm water embrace her. It was the perfect temperature. “Thank you, Lust. This is perfect.” “Thank you, Mistress. It is a pleasure to serve.” Lust stood there, watching me with a gleam in her eyes that told she was enjoying this. Does she want to have sex with me? I don’t want to abuse her. I should probably just ask. “Lust, if I ask you a question, will you answer me honestly?” “I don’t think I can be dishonest with you. I’m not as edumacated about magic as Pride, so I’m not sure.” “Okay, what do you want? Do you want to have sex with me?” “No, I’m not a succubus. I just like entertaining my fetishes.” “And that includes being a servant?” “Among others” “I don’t want to inadvertently hurt you or make you do something you don’t want to do. If I do cross a line, please let me know. And please tell the others to do so too.” “Oh, it would be very hard for you to cross one of my lines, but I will tell the others. Y’know, you’re much more accepting of this than I’d imagined someone that stumbled into all this would be.” I lowered my head as unpleasant memories came back. “You can’t hurt me. That makes you better than many humans I’ve known.” The look Lust gave me was odd, not like her normal, over exaggerated mannerisms. It was like concern but not quite. Maybe it was something unique to demons. I began really cleaning myself. Getting the grimy feeling off my skin took more scrubbing than what was probably needed to get the actual grime off. Once I felt clean, I drained the water then rinsed myself off with the shower head. As soon as I stepped out, Lust had a towel and dried me off. I hadn’t been dried like this since I started taking baths on my own, and there was far less caressing done by my parents. We went out to the bedroom once I was dry, and Lust guided me to the bed. “Anything else, Mistress?” “Um, no, thank you.” It still felt odd when she called me that, but it was also sexy, so I didn’t stop her. “Then I will take my leave.” Lust disappeared and with her the lights. Maybe it was something like telekinesis. I curled up to go to sleep and noticed the sheets were the most comfortable sheets I’ve ever slept in. I may not have expected his whole situation, but they are proving to be really useful.
