Tales from Tinies.

by MrAquino


The Hunters and the Hunted; the other view

Inside one of Equestria's various, last forests, their was a cabin. There was a trail that lead to and it, and though it was a bit of a walk to get to it, many ponies were surprised to see that such a thing existed in the middle of nowhere. The cabin itself didn't really stick out, why, many ponies who saw it wouldn't see it until they squint their eyes, as it was blended in with the forest. Around the forest, various fruits grew, raning from the common apple to the more exotic star fruits. In this cabin was a family of ponies, or, to be precise, batponies.

While not endangered by any means, batponies are rarely seen by anyone, not unless they stayed up at night or were in the Canterlot staff, more precisely, working under the princess of the night herself, Princess Luna. They were more of a nocturnal species, and a strange one, as they are the only pony subspecies to actually eat meat, a taboo act in Equestria, but really tend to suck the juice out of various fruits with their notiable fangs. Of course, that all changed when both the humans arrived, and when ponies found the taste of humans to be irresistible. While anyone can grab a human and eat them, batponies have to be careful to not cut them with their teeth when putting them into their mouths, but when they're in, that's when the batpony is rewarded with both a blast of flavor, and a living, moving snack in their bellies.

In the cabin, a family of Batponies slept inside, all the shades closed while they hung from the ceiling, their wings surrounding their bodies for extra warmth and to block out any light that may enter. The family was standard; there was the father, the mother, and a child, a daughter of the two. The father was Fang, a retired soldier from the Canterlot Army who was enjoying his time with his family. The mother was Nightgale, a nurse at the local hospital who, despite her appearence, was soft & warm to the staff. Finally, their daughter was Cloverwing, a special student for her school thanks to her genetics; another teacher taught her & some other students at the otherwise closed school everything they needed. However, today was a special day, as not only was it the first day of summer, but it was Cloverwing's first hunt!

Though many Batponies have left it, some, like Thorn, keep their ancestral tradition of hunting, as it was their way of survival. Before, they would catch mice, as they were the easiest to catch and make a good meal, but the humans... they were better. The obvious was their taste, and the fact that they can't be digested is an added bonus, but they can be tricky. Fang has had a couple of humans escape from him, mostly because they were either experienced or knew what to do, but he's had a couple of nice snacks, mostly from the new & inexperienced humans that had just arrived, or because of one wrong move. Soon, his wife joined, and though she wasn't the best at this, she too has had a few good snacks. Now, it was their daughter's turn.

The sun began to set, and the moon began to rise. The Family, all huddle up, woke up and stretched their wings out with a small, screech-like yawn. The parents released themselves from their perch, but their daughter just woke up with her own, much more, adorable yawn.

"Night, Sweetie." Fang said with a smile. "Ready for your first hunt?"

"Y-yes, daddy." Cloverwing replied, a bit nervous for her first hunt.

"Aw, don't worry, honey," her mother assured her. "we're here to help you learn how to do one properly. And, if you mess up, don't be sad, we mess up, especially your father."

"Oh... okay. B-but what about them?"

"They'll be fine." Fang replied "I've eaten so much, and all are just fine. It's gonna feel a bit weird when they're here," he poked at her belly, making the filly giggle a bit "but you'll get used to it." Cloverwing released from her perch and landed next to her parents.

"Okay. I'm ready. So where do we find some humans?"

"It varies, really, but we're gonna have to fly. Do you have a good grasp of how your wings work?" She turned and fluttered her wings a bit.

"I do."

"Good. Now come on, I'm gonna show you how to do a proper hunt." The family left the cabin. Outside, the cold wind blew into their manes, and the moon's light was around them. Fang's wings flapped and he flew into the sky, followed by Nightgale. Cloverwing flapped her wings rapidly, but she made it to her parents. The family flew off, looking to find some humans to eat.

***

The time passed was long, and, they were beginning to believe that there were no humans around tonight. Without a word, they all agreed to go back home and have some fruit, probably apples. That was, until Nightgale's ears twitched and she could see what was essentially a small campfire in the distance.

"I believe some humans are over there." She said.

"Should we check?" Cloverwing asked. Fang nodded.

"Be very quiet," He said "humans may not have sensitive hearing as us, but they're very skeptical." Fang lead the way, flying to the campfire, being as silent as possible. He landed a few feet away from the group, then crawled along the floor. Both Nightgale and Cloverwing landed behind him, but Nightgale sniffed the air.

"Hm... yep, humans." she observed. "At least four... three male & a female... two of the males are related."

"You can tell just by their smell?" Cloverwing asked.

"Just one thing I can do better than your dad." She nuzzled her daughter. The family of three, using a bush as cover, saw the fire and the group of four humans sleeping.

"There they are," Fang said "sleeping away."

"Can we get them!?" Cloverwing asked

"Shh.. no, that's not the way. That'd be too easy. Hunts are suppose to be thrilling, both for us and them. We'll just wait until they wake up and separate."

"I don't think that's going to be a problem." Nightgale said, pointing. They silently watched as one of the humans, a male & the smallest, woke up with a yawn, stood up, and walked away.

"...Watch and learn, Clover." Fang said, creeping his way past the camp. Both mares followed, also being as silent as possible. After some creeping, they saw the boy was in an open field, standing near some grass, doing his business. "Okay... this is important... but wait until they're done. That's when their defense is lowered, and it won't taste horrible. Trust me. Watch, and learn." Fang lowered himself even more and snaked his way. He watched as the boy, finally relieved, pulled his pants back up. Fang struck. He sprinted to the human with his mouth wide open. Before the human could scream-

*NOM*

Fang caught the tiny human in his mouth. The human's screams were muffled and he flailed around on the stallion's tongue. Fang couldn;t help but murr to himself, finding the human tasty, and ticklish, on his tongue, with some drool falling out. Then he felt something sharp hit his gums.

"OW!!!" He yelled! His voice made the boy fall & cover his ears. Fang, using his tongue, made the boy go into his throat while he used the tip of his tongue to feel the thing in his gums. The boy screamed, holding onto the tongue for dear life, though Fang winced once he felt the thing wedged into his gums. Solving one problem to get to the other, Fang tilted his head back and swallowed the human, but still winced as he felt the thing in his gums. Cloverwing watched in awe as the human her dad caught was nothing more but a moving bulge in his throat that then disappeared into his chest, but saw his father make a painful expression. Nightgale approached to Fang with a worried look.

"Fang!? What's wrong!?" She asked

"Something... in gums!" He replied.

"Oh dear, hold still." Nightgale pulled out some tweezers and, using the moonlight, saw the thing in her husband's gums. She pulled it out with the tweezers, much to Fang's disliking from the pain, and dropped it to the floor, though there was both blood & saliva on it.

"Oh sweet Luna! That hurt! What was it?"

"Hm... it's a knife. The human used a knife on you."

"Oh... wow... never thought that'd happen. Am I bleeding?"

"Yeah, you are. Hold still, this should help." Cloverwing approached to her father and placed her left ear onto his belly. Past the growling of his stomach, and the beating of his heart, she heard the human inside, as he was... scared?

"NO!!! HELP ME!!! SOMEONE!!! HELP!!! ZACH!!! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!"

"Dad?" Clover asked "Is this normal?" Her dad was too preoccupied as her mother placed cotton balls in his mouth, soaking up the blood. She turned back to the belly, hearing the little guy crying to himself. "Hey, are you... crying?" He heard the little guy gasp.

"Wh-who's there!?... Mom!? ... An angel!?"

"No... neither... sorry. I'm Cloverwing, who are you?"

"J-J-Jeremy. Oh no, I'm hallucinating, aren't I!? I'm gonna be digested by some... horse thing... and I'm already hearing voices!"

"Oh no, you're not gonna die. You're in my dad's belly."

"...What!? No! That's a lie! I can't trust a demon horse! Quit your lying!"

"No, please, listen. We're not... demon horses. We're ponies! Batponies."

"Bat... ponies?"

"Yeah, and you're in the land of Equestria."

"...Equestria? Oh great... please... let my suffering end."

"No, you're not gonna be harmed, okay?"

"How so?"

"How did you wind up in Equestria?"

"...This forest? I was in a hunting trip with my brother and his friends. We were driving to their local hunting grounds... until we crashed from an oncoming truck. That's as far as I know."

"Ah. Well... that's the light that brings you here. You're in my home world, and you're now encased in magic."

"...Magic? Really?"

"Yeah! Magic is what makes our world go round. Your kind has been appearing here, and somepony found out that you all taste good, with the addition that you can't be digested, so we've been... well... eating you."

"...great... I'm now at the bottom of the food chain from some gigantic horses... whoopy flipping doo."

"Well... I can't argue with that, but please, trust me. Nothing bad's gonna happen to you, okay?" She placed her hoof onto her dad's belly. "Do you trust me?"

Some silence fell between them, but she felt a tiny hand, albeit, covered in her dad's fur, toughing her hoof.

"O-okay... but I want my brother here, ASAP. Deal?"

"Deal!" She giggled to herself, finding this experience to be weird, but heartfelt at the same time.

"Oh dear," Her mother said "This looks bad." She turned to her "I'm sorry, but your dad needs proper medicine. It got wedged pretty far in there."

"I don't need medicine!" Fang said with pride in his voice "I'm gonna teach her how to hunt, and we're gonna-OH THAT HURTS!!!" He covered his mouth, wincing in pain.

"...As I was saying, we're gonna have to cancel this hunt, dear. I'm sorry, but your dad needs help."

"But Jeremy wants his brother here." Cloverwing said. Her mother sighed.

"Alright, we'll find his brother and friends & take them with us. If they're not there, then we'll search tomorrow; the sun's almost up." The Batpony family walked back to the camp, only to see that it's deserted.

"Ah great." Fang said "Looks like they're gone. ...Guess we're gonna hunt them tomorrow." Clover went and poked at the strange machine on the floor, only to accidentally crush it under her hooves.

"Oops." she said. Nightgale rolled her eyes, but saw the various equipment.

"Hm... these could do good for them once they're with us." She said, picking up the miniature equipment.

"But mom? What about them?"

"Don't worry about them," Fang said "they're most likely going to keep moving in the morning, and we'll get them all tomorrow. Nothing to be afraid of." He winced again, looking down at his belly with anger. "Too bad you had to that with that knife you had, otherwise, you'd be with your brother."

"Excuse me for trying to protect myself!" Jeremy replied.

****

Back in their cabin, Nightgale set up the smaller camping equipment to the best of her abilities, but turned to Fang.

"You may want to spit Jeremy for this." she said.

"Agreed." Fang replied. "You're gonna have to take note of this, Clover." Clover nodded and watched. Fang began to cough hard, followed by Jeremy, as a bulge, going up his throat and into Fang's perched cheeks. He opened his mouth, and Jeremy slid down the tongue, landing on the table, next to the 'camp'. He coughed and stood up, though a bit weakly. Fang, however, winced.

"You might want to stay still." Nightgale said, pulling out some medical supplies. "It's gonna hurt, but it's for the better."

"Yes, dear." Jeremy's sight refocused all around him. He gasped and backed up as he was greeting to the filly's face. She giggled.

"See? You're fine!" she said. Jeremy looked at his body; despite being covered in saliva & stomach acids, he was fine. He looked up at her.

"Wait... you're Cloverwing?"

"Yep!"

"...huh... you really are a bat-horse thing."

"Batpony. Here, let me get that for you." She pulled out a rag and dried the human off. "There you go, all dried off." Jeremy looked at his now dried off self, and looked around the small cabin.

"So... what are you going to do with me?"

"...What do you mean?"

"Are you going to kill me?"

"What!? No! We wouldn't hurt you!"

"Fine... guess I'm your go to meal, then?"

"No, please, listen. Look, yes, you humans really do taste good, but we don't want to make you feel like slaves. It's terrifying at first, in your case, but, soon, you just kinda get used to it." Her own stomach growled. She blushed with a smile.

"So I'm next?"

"Nope! Want an apple?"

"Uh... sure?" Cloverwing walked through the door and quickly returned with some apples for everyone. She placed one apple near the human and crushed it below her hooves.

"You're much too small to eat it whole, so enjoy." Jeremy watched as the small, dangerous but adorable looking fangs pierced the apple, and was sucked the fruit dry.

"...Are you part vampire or something?"

"...Vampire? No, I don't think so. As I said, you humans are tasty, but we love fruit. In fact, if you weren't around, we'd be low on fruit, so we should thank your kind for being here." She ate the rest of her apple. "Mmm... delicious."

"Not as delicious as your first human." Fang said, his gums now healed.

"Later." Nightgale replied "It's getting late, we better go to bed." She turned to Jeremy. "I'm sorry if my husband scared you like that. Please, make yourself at home." She gave him a small, warming nuzzle. He was caught off guard, falling down, but finding her muzzle to be soft, he patted it, though cautiously. The three perched up to the ceiling, hanging upside down, and wrapped themselves in their wings. Jeremy looked around, hoping to find a way to escape, but they were nice, and, if he fell from the table, he'd die.

"Guess I better sleep." He said to himself. He went inside one of the empty sleeping bags and went to sleep.

****

Night time came again, and the family woke up, seeing their guest. Cloverwing gently poked him. He woke up but jumped at her sight.

"GAH!!! ...Don't do that!"

"Sorry," she replied, her ears folding "just wanted to wake you up. Would you like to join us? We're gonna help you find your brother & friends."

"...Alright."

"Sweet!" Clover lowered her head and opened her mouth.

"...What are you doing?" Clover closed her mouth.

"Oh... I though you were gonna hop in."

"No, don't." Fang said "We don't want you full while hunting, even if it's with his friends."

"And I'm not going inside you, sir!" Jeremy said, backing up a bit. "I mean, no offense, but that place was rough! Not my thing."

"Oh... well, what about me?" Nightgale asked "You seem to like me."

"I... do. You... it's gonna sound weird, but you kinda remind me of my mother." She blushed.

"Oh? Why... that's sweet, actually. Don't worry, I'll be gentle." She lifted Jeremy in her hoof and, very carefully, placed him into her mouth. She couldn't help but taste the little human, hearing him let out an unsure whimper. She tilted her head and swallowed him, then she patted her belly. "There, there... it's alright. Let's get your friends, okay?"

"Y-yeah... sure... let me just... sleep here." He yawned and went to sleep.

"Let's see if they're at the campsight," Fang said "For all we know, they could be in the same place, so be prepared to chase, Clover."

"Okay, dad." Clover replied

****

The family landed near the campsite, seeing it was empty.

"Hm... seems they know we're here." Fang observed "Well, we still have the element of surprise with us. Honey?"

"I got it." Nightgale said. She sniffed the weird, metal thing Cloverwing accidentally crushed. "...This way."

"Lead the way. Clover, stay low."

The family followed the scent, and found the three humans, walking and unaware of them. The family crouched and hid.

"Okay... this is it." Clover said to herself. "Who should I get?"

"Hm... it's your choice." Fang replied.

"...I got him in my sights."

"Go for it." Clover took a deep breath, crouching and hiding from the group of three. Her sight was on the larger human; sure, he was much bigger than Jeremy, but she wanted to catch a human that would both satisfy her hunger and make her parents proud. Then she remembered how hungry she was. How tasty were humans? Are they really filling? Does each human vary in a lot, or little things? What if she-?

Crack

She looked down to see that she stopped on a stick. The humans froze, unsure what that was. It was now or never. Clover sprinted to the large human, his back at her; she opened her mouth and snagged the human! His screams were muffled, but Clover... a blast of flavor assaulted her mouth! She couldn't help but sit down and enjoy the human, struggling in her mouth.

"Stop! Let me out!" The human yelled inside. She played with him for a bit, not caring if he was afraid or not. Then, she tilted her head back, using her tongue to guide him into her throat. " AAAAAAA-*GLURK*-aaaaaaaaa..." She let out a content huff, feeling the human in her stomach. He was ticklish inside, and she wanted to talk to him.

"EE-!" A sound was heard. Clover stood still, then she swung her ear, determining where it came from. She turned to see the other two humans; a man and a woman.

"B-Becca..." The man whispered, nudging to the woman "We...we have to go...like, now." Clover tilted her head, curious on the two. Then, the two kissed. Weird. More snapping of twigs were heard. Fang and Nightgale were approaching. "Run!" The two ran away.

"...Huh... that was weird." Clover said to herself. She turned to her parents. "Mom! Dad! I caught a human!"

"That's great, Sweetie!" Fang said "How was he?"

"Delicious! And very ticklish inside."

"Let me out!" The Human yelled in her "I'm gonna make you fuckers pay for my brother!!!"

"Brother? ...Oh! Jeremy!? He's fine." She patted her belly. "And you are going to be fine as well. My name's Coverwing, what's yours?"

"The guy that's gonna kill you!!!"

"Huh... that's not very nice. Mom? Can you get Jeremy up?"

"I think it's for the better." Nightgale said. She gently poked her belly. "Jeremy? Wake up. We have your brother."

"...Wha-?.. Zach!? You guys got Zach!?" Nightgale felt the human run inside her and placed his head against her stomach wall. "Zach!!! Bro! It's me! Jeremy!"

"Little Bro!?" Zach yelled, banging against the filly's stomach walls. "DUDE!!! You're fine!? How did you escape!?"

"Uh... I didn't really escape. I was eaten, but, turns out, we're actually safe in their stomachs."

"Safe!? How!?"

"I don't know. Something about magic. Look, don't question it, but know that we're gonna be fine, and they're gonna get the other. Say, how were Becca and Ben?"

"...I... I fucked it all up. I... I was so... broken without you. I-I thought you died, bro. I was going to hurt them... heh... guess I should be thankful for this girl to eat me before I could."

"No problem." Cloverwing said, rubbing her belly. "You should probably get comfortable, sir. You've had a long night."

"...Yeah... as much as I want to be with my brother, I gotta get some shut eye." Clover coudn't help but giggle as she felt Zach adjusting himself in her stomach, and went to sleep. Nightgale rubbed her belly as well.

"Hm... they feel so fulling when they struggle." Nightgale said. "Oh! Clover, did you happen to see the final two?"

"Yes, mom. In fact, they kinda watched me as I ate Zach."

"...That must be terrifying to them." Fang commented.

"Yeah, but they kissed each other for a while, and when you came, that's when they ran."

"Oh? And where were they?" Nightgale asked.

"Over there." Clover pointed. Nightgale approached to where Clover pointed and whiffed.

"Hm... Are you still hungry?"

"Nah, Zach's pretty filling, actually."

"Well, it seems fair that I get the third." Fang said.

"Oh, but what about the fourth?" Nightgale asked

"...I guess we can just take him home. Lead the way." His wife saluted.

"Yes, sir!" They followed her as she sniffed the floor, but the sound of laughing was heard nearby.

"...Guess we just follow that?" Cloverwing asked.

"Yep. Stay low." Fang replied.

"But they already know we're here."

"... Know what? You're right. I'm gonna show you how to do a swoop and grasp!"

"A swoop and grasp?"

"Believe me, it's easier said than done." The family, with Nightgale sniffing, saw the last two humans in a log. While they still hid, but their eyes were exposed. The final two were lying down, hugging each other.

"Aw! That's so adorable." Nightgale said "Think you should eat one of them? They look like they're in love with each other."

"Hm... maybe I'll do the move on one of them, then just eat the last one normally." Fang said. "I'm really hungry, and they both look... so delicious." he drooled a bit. Some light hit their eyes; it wasn't blinding by any means, but they could tell that one of them held a flashlight. "They see us. Just wait for the right moment, Fang." After a while, the two humans go up and ran! "Perfect. Watch and learn, Clover." Fang flapped his wings, easily seeing dim lights moving below. He didn't care who he'd eat first, just something to satisfy his hunger a bit. Licking his lips, he torpedoed himself to the human in the back; the woman named Becca. His mouth opened wide as he was going to get himself the first half of his meal!

"Becca, watch out!" Ben warned "They can fly! They have wi-!" It was too late.

FWOOSH-*GULP*

Fang flew right back up, feeling Becca slide into his stomach. Then, something came up his throat and out of his mouth.

Braaap~!

His family flew up to him, though Clover seemed to have trouble, what with Zach, the biggest human, in her stomach.

"Hyoo!" Fang said "That was filling!"

"...Oh god!" Becca yelled, followed by her pounding on Fang's stomach walls. "BEN!!! BEN!!! HELP ME!!! OH GOD, HELP!!!" Nightgale approached Fang's belly and gently pressed onto it with her right hoof.

"Shh... it's okay, you're safe and sound." She said in a motherly tone.

"... Who's there!? Oh god... I'm dying already!"

"No you're not. Don't worry, your friend will be joining you soon." She could hear Becca falling to the folds in Fang's stomach, probably rolling into a ball, fearful of her surroundings. She looked up to Fang. "You better get him soon."

"Right." Nightgale flew down. Zach woke up in Clover's stomach.

"Wha-? Becca?"

"...Z-Zach?"

"Becca!"

"Y-You're alive!?"

"Yep."

"But... how!?"

"I'll explain." Clover said.

****

Nightgale found the last human. He just stood there, most likely surrendering to them. She landed right behind him. He turned around and flashed some light to her. It was a bit brighter, but considering how closer she is, it wasn't much of a surprise. She smiled a bit, trying to not look terrifying, but with their actions, it was probably thrown right out of the window. They stared at each other for a bit.

"Fuck. You." Ben said. How rude. Before she could say anything, he pulled out something from his waistline and aimed it at her eyes! She didn't know if it was dangerous or not, but, to be safe, she covered her eyes with her wings. It may not be a knife, but she had to admit, humans were pretty clever if they needed to be. But Fand and Cloverwing landed nearby. The human turned to them, pointing the strange thing in his hands. Cloverwing, really unsure what it was, took a few steps back; she didn't something similar happen to her like what happened to her dad yesterday. Fang, wanted to tell him to stop, but his body said other wise. The human noticed his face as he-

Braaap~

The human stared at him, then growled.

"YOU. ARE. DEAD!" He screamed! He aimed the device at Fang! All three gasped at what he was doing, and he fired four times! Fang anticipated much pain as he protected his face with his wings. It didn't hurt. It felt like having a pebbled being flicked on him; didn't hurt at all, and was annoying if repeated. But they gaped again as they saw Ben place the device on his temple. His eyes teared. They realized that he thought that they killed all of his friends and were going to have him next. He was frightened and didn't want to suffer before dying; he wanted it to be painless.

"I love you, Becca...I'm so sorry, guys," He said to himself "I should have been more careful. I should have seen what they could do. I should have been calm, maybe then...maybe then I could have saved you..."

Becca heard what Ben was saying and tried to get his attention, though Fang's stomach muffled her voice. Ben began to pull the trigger.

"STOP!" Nightgale screamed. He fumbled and dropped his weapon.

BANG!

He recoiled into a fetal position as one of it's projectiles hit a nearby tree.

"No! Ben! Oh, god...Ben..." Becca began to cry, falling to the stomach floor and slamming on it.

"Becca! BECCA! I...I CAN HEAR YOU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ben shouted, getting up and running to Fang's direction.

"BEN! Ben...you didn't...oh, thank god...I'm in here!" Ben looked up and suddenly realized that she was still in Fang's stomach. He fell onto his bottom. Fang looked down at the human, unsure of what to do next as his wife & daughter teared up, a bit sad but happy that he was alright. Ben gave Fang a look that was filled with Determination.

"Let...her...out..." He demanded. Fang, not wanting anymore trouble, began to hack out Becca. It took him a while, but not wanting to startle Ben, he lowered his head to the ground. A wave of warm air seeped out, bathing Ben in it's humidity. Becca came right out of Fang's mouth, using his tongue as a slide, and sprinted to Ben.

"BEN! Oh my god, Ben..." She sobbed, her tears mixing with the layer of sticky saliva that had covered her completely. She threw her arms around his prone position, pulling him into the tightest hug. He didn't even care that she was smearing Fang's spit all over him, but he was just so happy that she was still alive. He pulled her up, moving her to his lips. She didn't even need his help; her face shot forward and smacked. They didn't even care. All that mattered to them was that we were both okay. Then she slapped him. "YOU ALMOST...you...why...?" she sobbed, looking down at him angrily.

"I thought I lost you..." She pulled him into another hug, her cheek rubbing against the cheek she had smacked.

"You made me think the same thing, you asshole..." she cried. His fingers crawled up her back, reaching her brown hair and brushing them. She settled down somewhat, though the feeling probably wasn't quite as good as normal. Her hair was soaked together with Fang's spit, after all.

Without a word, both Nightgale and Cloverwing knew what to do.

Hurk

Bleh

Both Zach and Jeremy fell landed on the floor, covered in their spit & other juices. Ben turned to them. Zach easily got up, but he had a smirk across of his face as he cross his arms.

"So, finally kissed her? Dude, it's about time." Zach said. Ben stared for a bit, then fainted.

"Ben! BEN!!!" Becca said. Jeremy groaned as his eyes opened.

"Are... are we home?" He asked.

"Not yet." Nightgale said, approaching to Ben's unconscious body. "Aw... poor guy. Can't believe he's that in love with you." Her stomach growled. "Oh... sorry. Uh... I'm not sure how to say it, but-?"

"You want to eat him?" Becca asked.

"...Yes, that's it, but-"

"Only with me. You're... nice, miss...?"

"Oh, Nightgale. That's my daughter, Cloverwing, and my husband, Fang."

"...And you're bat-horses?"

"Batponies. And, yes, we are hunters, but, as you experienced, you're going to be just fine inside of us. May I?"

"Yes, you may." Nightgale carefully held the two humans in her hooves; this was her first time swallowing two humans at one. She opened her mouth and allowed the two to slide onto her tongue. She closed her mouth and began to play with the two for a bit, getting all of their taste. As soon she got their taste, she leaned her head back and swallowed the couple. It was quite the experience for her; swallowing two humans at the same time, though can be done, was pretty taboo. She patted her belly. "Now both of you be safe in there."

"Oh, I will. I just make sure he doesn't try to climb his way out." Nightgale giggled. Both Jeremy and Zach looked at each other.

"As warm & comfotable as it was inside," Zach said "It was much too cramped in there, and being inside of a little girl... it's kinda-"

Before he could finish, Fang engulfed Zach, leaning his head back and swallowed Zach whole.

Braaap~

"How's that?" Fang asked.

"...Much better, actually." Zach replied "But warn me next time!"

Jeremy turned to Cloverwing. She lowered her mouth and opened her jaw.

"Might as well go with it." Jeremy said to himself, walking onto her tongue. She closed her mouth and swallowed him. The family felt full, but noticed the sun rising.

"We better get home." Nightgale said "The sun is rising."

"Are we gonna let them out?" Cloverwing asked.

"...You know... I think they can spend the morning with us." Fang said. The Batponies flapped their wings and made their way home. The brothers found a nice corner to sleep on, and the couple... though Ben freaked out a bit, Becca was there to calm him down.

"...So adorable." Nightgale said to herself as soon as the couple inside of her cuddle with each other.
