> Dash's Recovery > by Speedy Silverstreak > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The nightmare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All around Rainbow Dash was pitch black darkness as she stood there. She had no clue where she was or how she got there but noticed she couldn't do anything. She was just standing but couldn't move her limbs at all like a statue. She started breathing fast in panic as she tried to move only to receive brief twitches and small movements. She soon felt something wrap around her arm and noticed a dark figure moving her limbs. The darkness wrapped around her arms and legs and move her as if she was weightless. She felt her legs being opened and her arms were moved under her breasts as the dark consumed them. As she struggled the darkness formed the figure of a large stallionhood and poked at her entrance. She grunted in pain as it entered her marehood and placed itself fully in her. As the dark consumed more of her body and made it to her neck another stallionhood formed and floated towards Dash's mouth. She tried to keep her mouth shut but failed as the dark opened her mouth with no difficulty and pushed the dick into her mouth and throat with the balls resting on her chin. Dash's eyes darted around looking for something or somepony to help her as the darkness creeped over her ears and nose. Soon Rainbow Dash was covered in a black skin like material with only her magenta eyes showing looking around frantically. She then saw a figure approaching in the distance and tried to moved in her dark fake skin. As the darkness covered her sight the last thing she saw was the figures glowing blue eyes. _____________________ “Dash?! Rainbow Dash wake up!” Speedy said as he shook Dash's sleeping body. When he heard a crash in her room he ran to see her thrashing around in a cold sweat as she slept and tried to wake her up. These were not uncommon ever since the rescue months ago. It's been almost ten months since Speedy and his siblings broke into the prison and saved Rainbow Dash under the orders of Princess Twilight. After three to four weeks of therapy with Twilight and Princess Luna addressing to Equestria the truth of Dash's Imprisonment Dash was welcomed with open arms. Since then her cyan blue coat returned as well as most of her primary feathers making her able to fly again. Her rainbow mane and tail grew back as well but now shorter and with the help of doctors and magic her brandings were removed as well. True to her word Twilight accepted Speedy's request and sent Dash to live with him under his care. Speedy was grateful to help Rainbow since he was discharged from the military and only had his teenage sister Shinelight for company, and even then he felt his house was empty. Soon Dash awoke with a gasp and looked at her surroundings. She now saw that she was in her own room with Speedy holding her shoulders and looking at her with worry. She then wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder. “You had the same nightmare again didn't you?” Speedy asked to only feel Dash nod into his side. The two hugged while Speedy calmed down Rainbow by humming a song that he used for his sister when she was a filly. Soon Dash calmed down and was laying back down in her bed. Speedy decided to stay in Dash's bedroom in case she had another nightmare and made a mental note to discuss this with Twilight the next day. The following morning Rainbow Dash woke up to see Speedy sleeping in the lounge chair in her room and the smell of pancakes coming from the kitchen. She quietly got into a pair of shorts and a black tank top and walked into the kitchen to see Shinelight by the stove with a pile of cooked pancakes next to her. “Good morning Rainbow Dash” Shine said looking over her shoulder “Did you sleep well?” “Uh y-yeah I did. What kind of pancakes are those?” Dash asked hoping Shine didn't hear her the night before. Shine smiled and slid a rainbow jar in Rainbows view. “A recipe from Applejack. Apple cinnamon pancakes with special zap apple jam topping.” She said as she put a plate of pancakes in Dash's spot and a jar of zap apples next to her. As Dash took a bite out of her pancakes Speedy walked in yawning and sat down in a open spot. “Morning sis. Morning Dash” he said rubbing his eye. After eating breakfast and saying goodbye to Shine as she hopped on the bus to school Dash and Speedy got in his car and drove to Twilight's castle to discuss the day's plans. Once at the castle the two entered to see a distraught Twilight waiting for them. “Hi guys” Twilight said with a forced smile “Rainbow Dash could you wait in the library please while I talk to Speedy?” Rainbow looked at both of them and nodded as she entered the library and closed the door. Twilight then motioned for Speedy to follow her as she walked towards the map room. “I'm guessing she's still having the nightmares again?” Twilight asked to which Speedy nodded. “She's been having the same one over and over again. Something about being absorbed by darkness and raped by some unknown force. All she remembers is seeing my eyes before she's fully encased.” Twilight noted this for later studies and decided to say what was bothering her. “There's something else too. I suggest you take a seat for this.” she said as they entered the map room. Twilight sat down in her throne as Speedy sat in Rainbows as Twilight kept talking. “For the past few weeks followers of Celestia have been trying to find her to bring her back to the throne. Me, Cadence, and Luna have been getting reports of followers doing things ranging from protests to riots. Half of Canterlot was in chaos as protesters started shooting buildings and setting them on fire. Most of them we're targeted locations as well such as Rarity's Canterlot boutique and the Tasty Treat restaurant her and Pinkie helped with. It's a possibility that they know we were involved with her……. incarceration.” “As of now only we know where she truly is and nopony will speak about it to anypony. I suggest you and Dash go on a vacation somewhere in case anypony in Ponyville gets suspicious. The girls and I will keep things under control here.” Speedy listened and understood what had to be done but had some questions. “How is Celestia doing down there?” “She's still responsive and we've been trying different torture methods so she doesn't get numbed by the pain. So far we're doing electric fish hooks on her nipples and poking her clit with a red hot spike. They show really good results from this since there were times we barely heard her screams.” “And the prison?” “Luna looked into it and dropped any info regarding your involvement and went through all the inmates files. So far she's had to release thousands of ponies and put them into therapy. Congress threw a fit about this but with some threats with her royal Canterlot voice calmed them down.” Speedy gave a forced sigh and stood up from the chair. “Thank you Twilight for all of this. I'll be heading out for a bit but will be back pick up Dash. I hope you'll be able to make some progress today.” Twilight also stood up and smiled back at him. “I will do my best.” As he walked away Twilight decided to ask him a question she had for awhile. “When will you ask her?” Speedy stopped but didn't turn around when she asked. Twilight knew Speedy had a crush on Rainbow ever since she was freed but knew he lacked the confidence to ask. “I'll……. I'll try” Speedy said before leaving. Twilight sighed to herself as the door closed behind him. “You just have to ask……”
