I find interesting that when this story started it was fully disliked, but now the likes are overturning the dislikes. Funny what can happen when people actually decide to read it instead of immediately judging it. Anyway, it’s a good story for awareness. I have thankfully never met anyone who had this kind of problem (that I am aware of.) And I have no idea what I would do if I did meet someone like, but I think you are doing some good by raising awareness for the more taboo subjects such as this.
Rape victims, both male and female, tend to keep the secret to themselves and try to incorporate it into their lives, sometimes with unfortunate results. Worst of all, they tend to blame themselves for being raped.
In this fictional, fantasy account, (based on real-life events) I am trying to show the enormity of the crime, and its consequences on the victims.
I am so apprehensive reading this. There's a part of me that doesn't want to read any further, but I have to know how it all turns out (not necessarily for Sweetie Belle herself, but for your friend who is portrayed by Sweetie Belle).
I really like how you write Opal's parts. Animals are much more intuitive than people and are often much better at judging a person's character than we are (one of the reasons why I love dogs), so seeing Opalescence behave as she does makes me happy. You're doing excellent work, and I am...let's say interested to see this story unfold.
Sweetie finished her bath and slowly got out of the tub. She was still in a lot of pain, but it was now bearable. She dried off, then went to her room. Just before she got there, she heard Opal frantically meowing from Rarity's room. She went to let her out, and the cat immediately began wrapping herself around her and purring, which surprised Sweetie. The cat had always been indifferent towards her; this was the first time she'd ever seen her being affectionate.

That was how Rarity found them when she returned a few hours later. "Why, Opal! What are you doing in here?" The cat stared balefully at her, then hissed. Rarity took a step back and said, "Opal? What did I do?"

I appreciate that. Writing this story is a form of catharsis for me, so I hope you'll stick with it through the good parts and the bad.

Given the current statistics, you very likely know someone who has been raped or molested.
The crime has far-reaching consequences, as in the example of this Dutch girl who committed suicide as a result of being raped at a young age.

I hope I do it justice.
