“Hammer?” She looked at me. “I love you.” She blushed backing up off of me allowing me to get up. “Freedom.” I said running for the stairs being on the second story. I didn’t hear her hooves as she ran tackling me into her wall cracking the wood. I was lucky it was made out of cheap wood, or I would have broken something most likely.
“Excuse me?” She asked narrowing her eyes being back on top of me.
“I, um, you’re really fast.”
“I know.” She frowned and I swallowed now really scared of her. I wasn’t the fastest or strongest stallion in the world, but I most certainly wasn’t low ranked in any physical thing. I had just never been beat out in both areas by a mare two thirds my size.
“So, I love you.” She smiled chuckling a little and then frowned.
“You say that again just to get away and I'll kill you.” I whimpered a little. She wasn’t joking and without my armor, I was sure she could.
“Anyway, we, could I get up?”
“Alright.” She got off of me and I stood up, she jumped onto my back landing perfectly balanced. I looked at her and she licked my spine making me shutter. “But I’m staying on your back.”
“I suddenly feel like I have a pony on my back.” She kissed my neck giggling a little, she honestly though didn’t feel any heavier than my armor, I could have her on my back all day and forget about her.
“You do.” She whispered in my ear making me blush. “Now then where will you be taking me today? You were the one that wanted to get to know me better.” 
“I don’t know.”
“I suppose we could stay here all day, and have some fun.” 
“No, I’m, I’m fine, we could, we could.”
“Stay here.”
“Um.” I was panicking, I had never once panicked before an enemy, and she single handedly made me go into a small fit of nervousness and fear. “Oh I know, how about we go to an concert hall.”
“It’s the morning, none of them are open.” She more or less sang with happiness in her voice.
“Then, how about a play?”
“It’s the morning.”
“Oh, then, how about a book reading?”
“Too public.” My ears went back, I was losing this battle with every word, and I couldn’t very well try to fly away, she could snap my wings like twigs like she was. This was turning from a bad situation to a dangerous one. It was one thing if she was just wanting to have me as a partner, but emotions were getting thrown into the mix. 
“Then, more breakfast?”
“Not hungry.”
“A walk in the park?”
“I’m liking that, there are plenty of high bushes there.”
“No, no bad idea, um how about.” I whimpered, I was out of ideas. She was going to get her way no matter what I did.
“What do you think is going to happen here?”
“Not the bathroom again.”
“You’re right, let’s try the bed this time, the urge is coming back even stronger than before.” I started to breathe a little fast. “Can’t you just feel me becoming hotter and hotter on your back? Oh I am so ready again.”
“I.”
“Bed now.”
The next few days went by too slowly remembering every second of it. Each day pretty much was a few showers, some food and then her bedroom. I didn’t have a choice in the matter, and when I tried to bring something up, it was shot down, or she would physically shoot me down to the ground and growl at me.
I don’t know when it happen but if I looked at any other mare even for a second look she would growl lightly on my back and demand we go back to her bedroom. The slightest things would set her off. I now felt more like her property than a pony to her.
She mumbled a little in the sheets next to me smiling waking me up fully. It was almost sunset and my leave was over, rather I wanted to or not I would have to come back or they would come looking for me. I got out of bed extremely carefully.
I started putting on my armor being extremely careful not to make one single metal cling, that could wake her up no matter how quiet it was. I finished putting on my armor opening a window carefully. I couldn’t get down the stairs without stepping on something, and I couldn’t use my wings, the only thing that would allow me to escape.
“Jasper.” She said mumbling, feeling around with her hoof a little bit, then she opened her eyes looking at me half way out the window. “You’re so dead if you go out that window.” I swallowed and came back inside. She got up going over to me.
“I really don’t have a choice this time, I have to get back.”
“Oh, okay, well come back once your done alright.” She said smiling a little. She over all seemed very happy. While she acted like she owned me in every sense, she was a wonderful pony, and under all the mixed emotions I had started to feel something more.
“Really, your letting me leave?”
“You’re coming back right?”
“Well yeah, you might be.”
“Then yes.” She said interrupting me. She went back laying on the bed, I flew out of the window going back to Princess Luna.
“Night Jasper.” Onyx said and I walked over to him standing next to Princess Luna’s personal restroom. I looked at the unicorn a little relaxed, but nervous.
“Onyx, good afternoon.” I turned to the unicorn. “I never asked your name.”
“I’m Nightshade.”
“Well Nightshade are you enjoying your promotion?”
“Yes sir.”
“Good.” Princess Luna came out and stopped.
“Night Jasper.”
“Hello Princess Luna.”
“You’re back, good, I was starting to wonder how many nights you would need. Anyway, did you do what you needed?”
“Yes, thank you for the time off.”
“Very well, come, I am hungry.” I nodded leading the way. We went through her nightly route and ended up in the dream chamber. “Night Jasper.” I stopped the door from closing and went inside a little.
“Yes?”
“Come inside, I, don’t want to be alone while in the dream.” I nodded walking inside and sitting down a little ways from her. “I wanted to apologize for my words, I have done you wrong and I wanted to say sorry.”
“It’s fine.”
“Thank you.” She closed her eyes and her horn lit up without another word. I looked up and paused, so many memories of Shadow were etched into the walls with magic, picture of him made me look down feeling badly. I closed my eyes.
