The Numbers

#7 - Elizabeth

#7 - Elizabeth

Hood told me that the book was back in my room and that I should be the one to return it to her instead of him. I thought it was a good idea, since I was the one that got it in the fucking first place. So, I return to my room and there it was. Sitting on my bed. Right before my eyes. Now, my curiosity got the best of me and I opened the book, but only to be shocked.

"Ow! Goddamn, that hurts. Why is it doing that?" I asked myself.

I then remembered the necklace.

"...I wonder."

I got it out and put it on the book. I waited for a while. After waiting, I decided to try to open the book again. It still shocked me.

"Dammit. Well, at least I tried. How can I read this without getting shocked?"

I then looked at the aura. It was...black. It was strange. When I got shocked those two times, I kept seeing green eyes with purple smoke coming out of them. Is it another enemy that I'll be meeting soon? Probably. I'll have to ask Celestia about it. Maybe she knows, since she's the one that probably knows more about that book than I do. So, I went to grab the book and it shocked me.

"Oh come on! You won't even let me pick it up? What's wrong? You let me held onto it when I was in that building, so why aren't you letting me hold it now?" I asked whatever it was that was restricting me.

I heard a deep growl. Then, black smoke filled the room. The door slammed shut and I heard the door lock by itself. The growls got worse. I wasn't afraid of the smoke nor the growl. It just...made me calm. I don't know why.

"...Why do I feel more calm then I was a few seconds ago?"

"...That's because you're beginning to turn into one of them." A deep voice said.

The smoke dissipated and formed into a figure.

"Hello Chris. Do you know who I am?"

"...You're Ripper." I said, in shock.

"Correct. We're getting somewhere already."

I looked at his face. I couldn't tell if it was his real face or if it was just a mask.

"...Is that your real face or is it just a mask?" I asked, in confusion.

"It's just a mask. Looks real, doesn't it?" Ripper asked.

"Yeah, it does actually. Did you always have that mask?" I asked.

"No. I wore this mask because it makes me more powerful."

"...So can you use it to help me through this?"

"I can, but don't expect me to be there for you all the time. I'll only be there if the monster is there. Yes, with this mask, I'm just as powerful as he is." Ripper said.

"So...does that make Hood and Liz weaker than both of you?" I asked.

"Hood is just as powerful as me, so you won't have to worry about that. Liz, however..."

"What about Liz?"

"...Liz...has a power that not even she knows about. It hasn't come out yet. She just needs more time to harness more of her energy so that she can can help you out. She only has enough energy to send you messages." Ripper said.

"...Messages? What do you mean messages? She's been sending me messages all this time? How did I not see it?" I asked.

"It's easy to miss them, but there usually somewhere on the post. Just look for a black line and, bingo, a message."

"...Oh shit! I remember seeing one of those! I thought that they were just little errors or something, but messages? How the hell can they do that without me knowing?" I asked.

"They put the message in as soon as you submit your post."

"How much of their power do they need to use to do that sort of thing?" I asked.

"It depends on how big the message is. It's something that-"

Ripper instantly looks out the window. He walks over to it and he growls.

"What is it?" I asked.

I walk over to where he is.

"Do you see it?" Ripper asks.

"...No? What am I supposed to see here, that tall fucker or what?"

Ripper took a deep breath, lifted his hand and created a dark portal-like thing. However, there were screams of agony and terror coming from it. There were calling for me, asking for my help.

"Do you hear them, Chris?"

"Yeah. Oh my god, what is that?" I asked.

"Those...are the people that I have captured in the past." Ripper said, having his head down in shame.

I look at him in disgust.

"...Why can't you set them free?" I asked.

"There are connected to that monster and it would take me a lot of my power to do so." Ripper said.

"Why are you showing me this?"

"There's one person in there that I can get for you. She's been in there for a long time. She knows you." Ripper said.

"...Who?" I asked.

"...You'll find out. Take a listen."

It then got quiet.

"...What am I...?"

I then hear a girl whimpering.

"Step forward. Comfort her." Ripper said.

I hesitated at first, but I finally went close to the portal of darkness. I got on my knees.

"...Hello?" I called out.

I heard a gasp and then, chains.

"It's okay. I'm not a bad guy. Please calm down. What's wrong?" I asked whoever was on the other side.

I then heard more whimpering. It was getting worse.

"Chris, go into the portal. Don't worry, you'll be able to come out. She needs you."

I turn back around. It was Hood.

"Hood? What's going on?"

"I did you a favor. Now go." Hood said, sternly.

I took a few deep breaths, got up to my knees, got my flashlight and stepped into the darkness.

Darkness

I open my eyes and I couldn't see anything. I turn on my flashlight and I immediately regret it. All around me were different ponies, wondering. The atmosphere was just filled with sadness and it made me tear up a little bit.

"...Um, excuse me?" I called out.

They all stopped and looked at me.

"Could any of you tell me who was crying?" I asked.

They all pointed to that door. I could hear loud whimpering in that room. It was making me very nervous, but I had to go. I stepped forward, but then the ponies started coming towards me. I stepped back.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Ripper, what's going on?"

"It's okay, Chris. They only want comfort. Talk to them. Do anything to make them warm."

"Why won't you do it?" I asked.

"They fear us way too much. They only trust Hood. If you give them enough comfort, then they will trust you. Try giving them the feeling of happiness back, especially the fillies." Ripper said.

I look down and I nearly jump. They were right in front of me, staring at me with curiosity. It was mainly mares that were there and a few stallions. This reminded me of that one anime, "Girls Bravo", where that one boy gets into his bathtub and gets warped into a world where 90% of the population is WOMEN. Only 10% was it males. Wait, why am I talking about this?

Anyway, I stare back at them and I could see a bunch of them with lust in there eyes. Goddammit, here we go again with word.

"...Hi." I said, awkwardly.

"...Hi." they all said quietly.

This was a good start. I was getting somewhere already. I stepped forward again, but they all backed away.

"Hey. It's okay. I won't hurt any of you. Trust me, it's alright. I'm not one of those guys. I'm a friend of Hood. You can come over to me if you want." I said, trying to comfort them.

They still look scared.

"Okay. I'll wait." I said, sitting down.

As I sat down, waiting for one of them to step forward, I saw one of them just looking scared and was about to cry. It was a filly. I looked at her and couldn't help but feel very bad for her. She was only a child.

"Hey you. Come over here." I said, giving my hand out to her.

She looked at me with surprise, but came over slowly.

"That's it. Come on."

She walked slowly, but then ran to me and buried her face into my chest, hugging me. She was bawling. Two other fillies couldn't help but walk over to where I was. One of them went around and hugged me from my back and another resting her head on me. The rest of them watched in awe.

"I can feel your pain and sorrow. I know how you feel. I'm going through the same events as you all were." I said.

"...Are you going to win? Will you defeat him?" One of them asked.

"Yes, I will."

"Will you get my two friends and I out of this horrible place?" the little filly asked.

"I'll try my absolute hardest. When I do, you and your friends will be in my care." I told them.

"You promise?" the three asked.

"I promise with my very soul and heart." I said.

I then the whimpering again. I looked ahead and so did everypony else. It was coming from behind the black door.

"...She calls for you all the time. She needs your comfort...and so do we." one of the mares said.

The fillies ran back into the crowd and the crowd made clear for the path for the door. I stand up and look ahead. The whimpering sounded very familiar to me.

"...No. It can't be her..." I said to myself, under my breath.

I started walking towards the door. It didn't take me long to get there because I was walking fast. I open the door and call out for her.

"Elizabeth?!"

The whimpering stopped. I shined my flashlight up ahead.

"Oh my god." I said, breaking down.

She looked up at me.

"...Chris." she said, barely audible.

I close the door and ran to her. I get on my knees and hug her tight. I started bawling. It was Elizabeth. My girlfriend was here, in this world of darkness.

"Oh baby. I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you." I said, hugging her tight.

"It...It's not your fault. It's Ripper's. He's the one that captured me. Oh god, that tall monster did so many bad things to me, Chris. It still hurts. I missed you so much!" she said, breaking down.

We both sit there, crying our eyes out. We both hear the door open. I look behind and...it was Hood.

"So...this is where you were the whole time? I'm so sorry, Elizabeth." Hood said in total shame.

"So you're the being that I've kept hearing about. It's okay. It's not your fault either. Ripper is who I blame. You need to stop him!" she yelled.

"He's no longer evil. He has realized what he has done. He was never bad to begin with. He was brainwashed." Hood said.

I look at him with utter surprise.

"Brainwashed?!" we both exclaim.

"I'll explain later. We need to go. Here are the keys. Get her out of those chains and run for the exit. He knows you're here, Chris. He's not happy with Ripper at all." Hood said, throwing me the keys.

I unlock all of Elizabeth's chains. As soon as they were unlocked, me and Elizabeth sprinted for the exit. Elizabeth was the first to go, but I had to say one more thing before I left. I turned around and looked at all the ponies.

"I will get you all out of here! I promise!" I said.

I then turn around and leave the world.

My Room

I wake up on my bed and Elizabeth is there, snuggling with me and making a cute little snore, just like she did years ago. It was the best moment of my life. Hood was there, staring at the window.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Things are going to get worse from here on out. The Administrator is not pleased at all. Ripper is currently having a battle with him in the Dark World. Chris, we won't be seeing Ripper again for a long time." Hood said.

My hopes were gone at that point. I felt a kiss on my cheek. I look over and Elizabeth was awake, looking at me with her beautiful eyes.

"I'll leave you two to talk." Hood said, winking at me.

He gave me a thumbs up. I returned the favor and did the same thing. He then disappeared and it was only me and Elizabeth. We lay there, staring at each other.

"I'm so glad you're here, Chrisy." Elizabeth said.

I just stared at her, then smiled and kissed her in the lips. We stay like that for a few minutes. She breaks the kiss and snuggles me, moaning with happiness. I did the same thing, looking at the ceiling, feeling everlasting happiness.

So, yeah, that was my day. Where is Elizabeth now? Well, she's getting all sexy and shit, getting ready for the best night of our lives. Celestia came in and gave me a lustful smile, which I didn't mind at all. I know it's weird for me to say, but I think Celestia is kind of sexy, even though she's a different species. I can't help it though! Her ass is big and she does this curve with her back when she stretches, which turns me on REAL BAD. But, I saved up all my juice for Elizabeth and I'm going to fuck the hell out of her and I know she will like it.
She likes it ROUGH. So do I.

Oh shit. I heard the shower go off. I think she's coming in nice and wet for me. I gotta go guys!

This is Chris, signing off...

Yeah...the ending is a bit dirty...
