Aqua Star sat in her bathroom looking at herself in the mirror, the blue unicorn was a soaked mess. Her purple mane hung in streaks over her face hiding most of it, but she could still see her eyes in her reflection, a look of lost mare staring back at her. She’d just stepped out of the shower after standing inside it, staring blankly at the wall, for an unknown amount of time. It felt like forever to her but maybe only thirty minutes had passed and she had been thinking non-stop about what she was going to do, how she was going to cope. She had been invited to the home of a pony who she once knew as Lord E. Centric, a power player in the city of Canterlot who many believed was a kind stallion; Spending time with the Canterlot elite, hosting dinner functions for charity events. In the eyes of the media, he was a hero, caring for the less fortunate. However, he had his dirty side that was only considered vile rumours among the Canterlot Elite, spread by those who were jealous of successful ponies. Rumours such as stealing funds from those charities he raised money for, extortion, blackmail, and other things, but no pony dared to speak up. His influence was so grand that those few who spoke out against him had their own reputations tarnished and were forced to move away, unable to make a living in the city and would soon leave the city without a word. Others would just go missing, with the police giving up the search quickly. The Canterlot guard wouldn’t get involved either, too busy protecting the city from outsiders rather than protecting the citizens already inside.

She was now seeing that those rumours barely scratched the surface of what he was capable of. 

Two months ago a stallion in a ski mask had entered her house, tied her up and raped her; but not before breaking her spirit and leaving her in fear of reporting it to any pony. Earlier today she had met with a stallion who was the father of Sandy Shores; a filly she cared about and looked after while she was sick in the hospital where Aqua worked. Only today had the mare met the father and she’d recognised the voice quickly. The grey earth pony stallion with the blue mane noticed that she recognised him, his red eyes bore deeply into her purple ones. She'd never forget his eyes. There was no mistaking that this was the stallion that had raped and impregnated her. 

Aqua looked down at her belly where a bulge was only just starting to form. She could hide it at first, but once word got around, there was no longer a point. Her friends had asked who the lucky stallion was but she never gave a straight answer, she had always found an excuse to leave quickly. They stopped asking eventually and she assumed they either no longer cared or maybe assumed it was a one night stand and she didn’t use the proper protection, now was stuck with a foal with no father. She wished that was the case because it would be far better than the truth. After realising that Lord Centric was her rapist and he could tell that she knew, the unicorn was invited (Although it felt more like a threat to her) to his manor for dinner that night. She knew that to have refused the offer would have been a bad choice, considering who she was talking to. Aqua was terrified of the stallion, she knew what he could do and he knew where she lived. If she said no, he would almost certainly come for her and do, who knows what to her this time.

The mare thought about leaving the city so many times but had nowhere to go. Not enough funds to hide out somewhere and no other family that would take care of her. She was trapped. Aqua, still looking at herself in the mirror, saw what a complete mess she was. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying, her soaked mane hanging in ribbons, her blue coat ruffled and matted where she had stopped taking care of herself properly. Centric had told her that it would be a fancy dinner and that she should look her best for the evening and a small part of her wanted to just go as she was, a wreck of a mare with a destroyed sense of self-worth. Maybe he’d leave her alone then, think she wasn’t worthy of his attention. But the most rational part of her mind told her to do as he said and don’t incur his wrath again. The stallion was dangerous and took pleasure in terrifying his victims. How many more mares had he been with since that night? How many did he seek out after and bring back to his home? What did he do with those mares afterward?

There was a meow from Aqua’s side. She looked down and saw her tabby cat, Tibbers. She reached a hoof down to pet him gently, then as she pulled her hoof away the cat jumped onto her lap, making himself cosy while she kept petting him. She looked at the mirror again and then used her magic to levitate a hairbrush to herself, she hesitated for a second, considering her options again but then started to brush all the tangles out of her mane. Once she was finished and it hung down long, thin and straight, the mare pulled out her hair dryer and began to blow dry it. Tibbers stayed in her lap, just staring, looking up at the mare. She playfully blew the hairdryer at her cat a few times, which prompted Tibbers to swat at it a few times. Aqua smiled a bit during that and then returned to doing her mane. It was now thicker and had a lot more bounce to it, just how she liked to have it before a big night out. She then took the brush to her light blue coat, taking out any matted parts on her body and made her coat shine. She looked really nice and was happy with the way she looked, but then remembered where she was going. Her smile instantly faded.

Ding Dong

There was the sound of a doorbell ringing. Tibbers jumped up from Aqua and ran out of the bathroom. The mare had no idea who it could be. She wasn’t expecting guests. Was it him? Did he get tired of waiting? Aqua stood up and stepped out, heading to the stairs. Each step was a slow shaky descent as she made her way to the front door. The doorbell rang again. She got to the bottom of the stairs, headed to the door and slowly undid the locks. She had installed several new ones since that night; two locks, a bolt and also a chain lock, which she left in the latch. Aqua opened the door enough for the chain to pull tight, keeping the pony on the other side from entering.

“Who… I-I mean, yes, can I help you?” Aqua stumbled over her words, too nervous to think correctly. On the other side of the door was a very slim, mint green stallion with a grey mane. He wore a black suit with a matching tie and had black-rimmed spectacles. He was a unicorn and levitated his glasses lower to see over the top of them, eyeing the mare while he addressed her.

“Good evening mam, my name is Irwin D. Terny. My client, Lord E. Centric asked that you be collected tonight and escorted to his private manor. I trust you are ready to go.”

She wasn’t expecting that he’d send ponies to come and collect her. Did he fear she would run away? She wished she could have.

“No. I mean yes! I mean… that’s okay. I- I can walk, you don’t-“

“Actually mam, we do. We are under strict instructions to make sure that you and your… child,” He said looking at her belly. “Are to be taken immediately to the Centric Manor. It is for your own safety, after all.”

Aqua didn’t like the way he used the term safety. She looked past the stallion into the darkness and saw two much larger ponies stood on her lawn. They were much larger than the average stallions and she was terrified of what they might do to her, or were told to do should she not cooperate. The blue mare nodded slowly and then closed the door, immediately reopening it after removing the chain.

“Please, let me just finish getting ready, I won’t be a moment.”

“On the contrary mam, I believe it would be better not to keep his Lordship waiting any longer than we already have done. He’s a busy pony and deadlines must be met.” Irwin said, with no emotion in his voice.

“It would just take a-“ She started to say but then saw the stallions in the back start walking towards the house. She sighed and then left her house shutting the door behind her, locking it. A feeling of dread washed over her, knowing that there was no going back now. Not that there ever was. The skinny stallion escorted her, keeping one step in front of her till they reached the end of the path, once there Aqua looked up and saw a large carriage before her. It was a beautiful rose red with curtains inside to match with gold trim, it certainly looked like the fanciest carriage in all of Canterlot, even the princesses didn’t have one such as this, although they preferred an open royal cart so ponies could see them and they could greet their fellow ponies. Centric didn’t feel the same way it seemed, happier with a cart that kept prying eyes out. One of the larger stallions pulled the door open and a set of steps dropped out. Irwin signalled for the unicorn mare to go in first. She hesitated but then took a deep breath, climbing the steps and going in. The inside was even more impressive. The oak seats had red cushions with gold coloured tassels and from above hung a small lantern, lighting up the cart and making the dark walls shine with polish.

The stallion behind her nudged her flank, making her jump forward and giving him room to enter. He sat down and indicated for her to do the same opposite him. She did and then the door slammed shut, Aqua could hear the two larger stallions walking to the front of the carriage, attaching themselves to it and then after a few seconds they were moving. Aqua and Irwin both sat in silence with the curtains drawn over the window, preventing anypony from looking in, or seeing out. The location of Centric Manor wasn’t a secret to anypony, so she thought maybe she could open the curtain and look out, but the beige unicorn wordlessly gave her a sign to leave the curtains alone as she reached for them, so she instead just sat still. Being in this small carriage with a stallion that wouldn’t stop staring at her was making her feel very uncomfortable, after a while he finally spoke up.

“Lord E. Centric has given me specific instructions to make sure that you arrive at the manor looking formal for the occasion.”

Formal? For dinner with a rapist? This sparked something inside of the mare, for just a moment she no longer felt scared. 

“Oh, well I’m sorry," Aqua said sarcastically. "I'd have loved to have dressed up for his lordship, but somepony rushed me out of my house before I could even get a dress or anything!” She was surprised to find she had the strength within her to yell at this pony like that. It's felt good to have even a little strength within her. Irwin seemed unphased though. He stared at her through his glasses and then his horn glowed. The stallion lowered a suitcase down from above himself and laid it on his lap. Aqua began to worry. What was in that suitcase? Mobsters always carried weapons in suitcases like those in the movies. Was this what it was? Was she about to be ‘whacked’ for speaking out to him like that? 

Aqua backed up against her seat about to apologise when she saw him levitate a dress out of the suitcase and float it towards her.

“Lord Centric has asked that you kindly wear this dress to the dinner tonight. It’s very expensive and a rare purchase, it was custom made from the finest clothes store in Canterlot. Canterlot Carousel.”

Aqua’s eyes lit up. Such dresses were not cheap and she’d always dreamed of wearing one. She'd seen mares wearing the beautiful dresses before and wished she'd had the bits to get something so wonderful. She took it in her own magic and looked it over. A beautiful yellow dress with frills around the neck, the skirt looked like white flower petals, there were green malachite gems added to the skirt to make it dazzle, along with little shoes matching the skirt and a band for the right foreleg. It was such a beautiful dress and she knew she’d look gorgeous in it! A gorgeous dress from Centric... that she was being made to wear... by a rapist. A rapist that completely destroyed her life. The mare looked at the dress again and then lowered it, looking to the stallion.

“I’m not… I cannot wear this.” She said flatly. The stallion closed the suitcase and used his magic to put it back up on the shelf, the dress still floating in Aqua’s aura.

“I don’t believe you understand yet.” Irwin said, raising a hoof up to remove his glasses and wipe them with a cloth. “If you do not arrive at the manor as instructed, wearing that dress, then I fear you may offend Lord Centric.”

Aqua stiffened up at that.

“A stallion such as himself has very powerful friends. Many of which have kind donations being sent to the local hospital to keep the medicine coming in. Technological improvements that save ponies lives. The funds that are needed to keep the building from collapsing into a terrible debt. A debt that was acquired after they had to borrow money from my client for the intensive foals’ ward. however, what would happen if the funds suddenly stopped? I don't think the ponies would recover well without their local hospital, do you? So many patients, so many foals.“

“What? But his daughter-“

“-Could have received treatment in any hospital in Equestria. But I doubt any could have had your kind bedside manner. You did a fine job with that filly, restoring her back to health after that virus she caught. Truly heartfelt his Lordship was towards you. It’s why you’re receiving the honour of dinner at his manor tonight. Try not to insult his Lordship by throwing his generous gift back in his face.”

This is clearly blackmail. Centric was going to take back all his money from the hospital if she didn’t comply, discrediting them in the process. How could he even consider doing that? She had to do this, for the foals’ sake.

“Fine. I’ll… wear the dress.” She said, defeated. Centric was a terrifying pony and she was going straight to his house, whether she liked it or not. Hopefully, if she didn’t upset him, maybe she could go home after dinner and this would be the end of it all; but she didn’t count on it. Irwin sat back, replaced the spectacles on his muzzle. As Aqua held up the dress about to put it on, she then became very aware of how little space there was and of the stallion staring at her.

“Could… I get a little privacy?” She asked, but the stallion didn’t move, not even so much as turned his head. Aqua Star huffed in annoyance then turned away from him. She began to slip the dress on, layer by layer while Irwin watched her. She could feel his eyes staring at her as she put it on. She buttoned up the blouse and then stepped into the skirt, pulling it up and the securing the white belt, connecting the two halves. Once she was fully dressed she became very aware of the skirt. It was pretty but also very revealing, and any pony walking behind her would get a full view of her personal area. As ponies, they almost never wore clothes, but when they did, the dresses would usually cover up the hindquarters for modesty’s sake.

Aqua sat down in the chair and looked away from the stallion in the carriage with her, she knew he was still staring at her but ignored him, instead deciding to look out a small gap between the curtains she had made putting the dress on. She couldn’t see anything out in the darkness but that didn’t matter, as long as she didn’t have to look at him. They remained in silence for the rest of the trip, and soon there was a banging signal coming from where the stallions were pulling the cart.

“We’re almost there.” Irwin said, adjusting his spectacles again. ”Remember, make Lord Centric happy and you’ll have a good time tonight at dinner. Make him upset and… well… his wife has been missing for a few years now. Would be terrible if the same happened to you.”

What did that mean? What happened to Centric’s wife? The carriage came to a stop before any of these questions could be asked.

“Time to go, Miss Star.”
> ...It's An Ultimatum

Irwin D. Terny stepped out of the carriage and walked ahead a few steps before turning to look at Aqua. She closed her eyes briefly, steeling herself for what was to come next. She then climbed out and looked up at the large manor before her. Large was an understatement. This building was so huge, that it could have housed half of the population of Canterlot. Aqua Star looked around and she could see Canterlot Castle in the distance, standing tall on the other side of the city. It dwarfed this manor, of course, but this place was still big enough you could easy get lost just trying to get out. She dreaded to think of the money that such a place must have cost. Though she was sure it was paid for with dirty money.

Irwin coughed to get her attention and started heading up the long path to the front door, the unicorn mare turned and followed him. She heard chuckling behind her and noticed that the cart pulling stallions were watching her. They were looking up the back of her dress and she quickly flicked her tail down, covering herself up. This yellow dress was beautiful but she was disgusted that it left her so exposed. That was probably the point of it. Centric’s idea of humiliating her no doubt. Her face flushed red with embarrassment and she ran to catch up with the lawyer pony. As they got close to the manor, the front door opened and a pegasus mare stepped out. She had a short light red mane and a pink coat. She looked annoyed and angry coming out the door, but upon seeing Aqua and looking her up and down, her expression changed and she had a cold smirk cross her muzzle and then she walked towards Aqua and Irwin, she purposefully walked between them and shunted Aqua as she went past. The blue mare stared at the pegasus as she now flew off, not even slightly apologetic for bumping into her. Aqua didn’t care though; one rude pony was going to be the least of her problems tonight.

The door was still open and after some hesitation and wordless motioning from Irwin for her to hurry up, they walked inside. Aqua looked around and was in awe at the place. This was without a doubt a home where rich ponies showed off their wealth with lavish furnishings. There were expensive paintings on the walls, busts, suits of armour, the floor was marble and shined, and candles flickered from multiple chandeliers as they reflected the light around the hall. The staircase in the middle of the room headed up to the next floor and split off in two ways, one to the left and the other the right. There was also a stained glass window at the top of the stairs that looked like Centric shaking hooves with the princesses. Aqua thought that this pony clearly had a high opinion of himself. If the princesses knew what he really was, they’d buck him to the sun and moon for a thousand years, each.

A dark navy-blue unicorn stallion arrived into the hall from one of the many side doors. He saw the two ponies stood in the middle of the hall and walked forward. He was quite old looking and wore a black suit and tie with a white shirt. His grey mane was thinning on the top of his head and he wore a single monocle. As he got closer, Aqua could see he was quite tall, at least two heads taller than Irwin who was almost as tall as herself.

“Ahh, Mr. Terny, right on time; as usual. I take it this is the mare whom Lord Centric will be entertaining tonight.” The stallion had a very posh accent yet didn’t seem as hoity as most of the Canterlot elite did.

“That’s right, Hooves. Announce us to Lord Centric, now, if you please.” Irwin spoke with a tone of impatience to this stallion.

“Of course Sir, right this way.” Hooves said with a smirk. This seemed to make Irwin roll his eyes like there was some kind of hostility between the two of them. Aqua followed both stallions and they reached a pair of white double doors. The butler used his magic on the doors, wrapping them in a yellow aura and opening them. As they opened they all found themselves in a lush living room, just as fancy as the main hall, but more cosy. There were three separate sofas, all surrounding a square table, a fireplace that was burning brightly and beige curtains that hung closed over the windows. Inside there were three ponies; Two sitting on the sofa and a maid collecting together a bunch of foals toys, tidying them away. The green mare with a purple mane was wearing a tradition maid outfit. On the sofa sat a little yellow filly with a maroon coloured mane  held back with a pink headband. She knew the filly as Sandy Shores and she was wearing a pretty little light blue dress that was sparkling in the light. And sat beside her, was Sandy’s father; Lord E. Centric. He was wearing a wine red jacket with gold trim and a white buttoned up shirt. He wasn’t facing them as the butler opened the doors, but upon entering the room Hooves announced their arrival.

“My Lord, Irwin D. Terny and-“

“Miss Star!” The little filly yelled out and ran right up to the mare. Aqua didn’t hesitate and wrapped her in a hug. They had spent months together in the hospital with Aqua looking after the filly in all the time she stayed there and they had become quite fond of each other. The blue mare was happy that she was still doing well.

“Sandy, it’s good to see you. How you feeling?” Aqua asked, smiling genuinely.

“I’m doing really good. Daddy brought me lots and lots of new toys!”

“Oh that’s-“ Aqua looked up and instantly met the eyes of her father. She remembered his red eyes that haunted her nightmares for so many nights, the look of a killer and a lusty intruder. She looked into his eyes now and she saw nothing of that cruel stallion, for he was smiling.

“It’s good to see you both getting along so well.” Centric said. Irwin casually glanced between the Aqua, Sandy and Lord Centric, as if trying to read the situation. Hooves meanwhile stood with a polite smile on his face.

“L-Lord Centric.” Aqua said, rising up and bowing her head, just so to avoid looking at him. He laughed at her.

“Oh come now, no need to be so formal. Please, sit with us. Dinner will be ready soon, right, Hooves?”

“Absolutely my Lord. Please allow me to go check and I shall return when it is ready.” Hooves said, bowing low and walking backwards out of the room. Irwin stayed where he stood as the doors behind him closed with a snap that almost caught his tail. Irwin turned around, glaring back to the door angrily before turning back, and returning to his emotionless state, as was his norm.

“So tell us Miss Star, how was your journey here?” Centric asked. “I trust Irwin wasn’t too much of a burden. He’s my most reliable pony but far too serious, I find. He’s so strict I swear he couldn’t have fun unless it was a court order.”

Centric then laughed loudly, as did Sandy. Aqua laughed too but it wasn’t genuine, she was just so confused. This was the stallion that had assaulted her in her own home, why’s he being so kind to her? She then remembered that this was a pony who had a lot of influence in Canterlot and this was probably just a Façade for when he's with the public.

“Miss Star, please sit down.” The stallion said again. Aqua did so slowly, purposefully sitting on another sofa, as to avoid being near him. The little filly immediately jumped up onto the sofa next to the unicorn and smiled up at her.

“Would you like to see my toys, my daddy buys me one every day that I am good, so I have like a… a bajillion toys now!” The yellow filly smiled then looked around, seeing all of her toys were gone along with the maid. “Oh…” she said sadly, but then had a thought that made her perk up. “Oh! Would you like to come up to my room? I can show you all my toys there!”

“Sandy.” Centric started. “What did we talk about?”

“No toys before dinner.” Sandy said, looking a little sad.

“That’s right. So, Aqua; may I call you that?” The mare hesitated for a second before she nodded, trying to stay as polite as she could. “How do you like the dress?”

The unicorn looked down at it. Sitting down and with no ponies leering at her hind quarters, she did feel a little more comfortable in it.

“It’s… very pretty.” Aqua said, unable to really say how she really felt about it.

“I had it tailored specifically for you from Canterlot Boutique. As a thank you gift for taking such good care of Sandy. I tell you, that Rarity is quite the mare; so talented with a sewing kit. I figured that since you were two months along, a mare in your situation would need a new dress that offered mobility and comfort while also looking like an elegant mare, I’m sure you’d even turn a few heads at a gala.”

“The Gala?” Aqua asked, stunned. Thoughts of being at such a prestigious event with a dress like this, exposing herself to every mare, stallion and even foal at the event just drained the colour from her face. He wouldn’t make her go there, would he?

“Excuse me, Lord Centric.” Irwin made himself noticed from the door, still not moving any further into the room. “If I might be excused. I have a lot of work to do.“

“Hmm, very well. You may retire to my private study for now. But do stay close by so we can make proper arrangements later.” Centric said, without looking to face him.

“As you wish, your Lordship.”

Aqua watched as Irwin glanced at her momentarily and then opened the doors to leave. As he did, Hooves returned and stood before the shorter stallion half blocking the way, making Irwin have to walk around him. He gave the butler a scowl which Hooves returned with a slight smirk and then he entered the room completely.

“My lord, dinner is served.”

“Excellent.” Centric said, standing up. “I hope you’ve built up an appetite Aqua, because tonight is going to be a dinner you’ll never forget!”

That's what she was afraid of.

- - - - -

The meal was incredible. They were all sat at a large dining room table together with Centric and the head of the table and Sandy Shores sitting opposite Aqua, and the unicorn mare had never before been treated like royalty. The food was delicious, her water was sparkling fresh, and not once did she ever have to request a refill. It was like Hooves knew exactly when she would need more. They had all just finished their desserts, all the while talking about simple topics, like stories, musical theatre shows, little Sandy’s dreams of becoming a doctor just like Aqua. Sandy still had no cutiemark so there was always a possibility that could still happen. Aqua might have actually enjoyed herself this evening if it wasn’t for the fact that she knew this was all a façade. He wasn’t acting like the Canterlot Elite normally would, but more like a common pony. She had thought for just a second that maybe she was wrong and that maybe this wasn’t the pony who had raped her, but then she remembered that she had been threatened and blackmailed into coming here in the first place. It amazed her how well he could keep up this act, it was clear that this was how he rose to power.

“-And then he said,” Centric continued, taking another sip of his fruit punch. “The Lulamoon account wouldn’t hold and she’d never be able to work in Canterlot, and you know what I did?”

“You paid for her entire stage wagon, didn’t you daddy!” Sandy chipped in excitedly. Centric laughed.

“That right, princess! Any mare that can make my little girl happy is gold in my books!”

“I really liked her tricks with the three rabbits jumping out the hat.”

They both laughed together. Aqua smiled and tried to join in with the laughing.

“That’s really kind of you, Lord Centric; helping a mare down on her luck.” Even saying his name made her fur crawl.

“Oh please. Call me Ego, I think we’re beyond formalities here.”

She didn’t like the idea of that, but she just wanted to finish eating and then leave. Hooves returned, taking away all the plates and empty glasses. Ego stretched his forelegs and then turned to his daughter.

“Alright sweetheart. I think it’s about time for you to get ready for bed.”

“Aww, but I didn’t get to show Aqua the toys in my room yet.” Sandy pouted.

“I’m sure they’ll be another time for that.” Her father said. “But now, go get your PJ’s on, I’ll be up soon.”

“Okay Daddy.” Sandy stood up and walked over to her father, letting him kiss her on the forehead before she went around the table and gave Aqua a hug. “It was great having you here. I hope you’ll come back soon.”

“Thank you Sandy, I hope you have sweet dreams tonight, and look after yourself.”

“I will.” The filly said and then rushed out the door, being held open by Hooves. He smiled at her as she went past him and then shut the door behind himself, leaving Aqua alone with the Centric.

“She’s quite the precious little gem, isn’t she?” He said. Aqua turned away from the door.

“Yes, she is.”

She suddenly felt very cold. She knew he was looking at her but now she couldn’t look back at him, instead, she just stared at the table before her. The grandfather clock ticked noisily, stretching out the seconds the longer she listened. Like time was slowing down. Eventually he spoke.

“You know who I am, don’t you?” There was an edge to his voice. The façade was now fading with his daughter out the room.

“Please, I won’t… I haven’t told anypony. Just let me go home.” The blue mare said, starting to get worried.

“Home? But dear, the night is still so young.” He grabbed a little bell on the table and rang it. The doors opened immediately and Hooves walked in, carrying a bottle of wine in his magic.

“Vintage Château LaMare, my Lord. One of your finest bottles with a sweet fruity taste.” The butler poured a small amount into a wine glass for Lord Centric and then poured an equally small amount for Aqua Star.

“Oh no, I can’t. The baby-” Aqua started to say, but the butler cut her off.

“I assure you madam, it’s all fine." Hooves said kindly, understanding her fears. "The wine is of the LaMare brand, purified, extra fruity and most importantly, safe for the little one. You have my word.”

Centric drank his small sample quickly and Hooves quickly refilled it by the same amount. He then left the room leaving the bottle on the table. Aqua looked at the glass of wine but didn’t touch it.

“Is my wine not good enough for you? Drink.” Centric said; his tone flat as if he was growing impatient. Aqua levitated the drink in her magic and then brought it closer to herself. She hesitated. She looked at Lord Centric and he was staring at her. His eyes moving from the wine to her. The mare lowered it down, shakily.

“You’ve done something to it!” She said, scared. He just laughed and took a sip of the wine from his glass.

“My dear, we are both drinking from the same bottle. Anything it would do to you, it would have done to me too. Drink.”

Aqua lifted the wine glass up quickly and drank it. The drink had a sweet taste to it and didn’t have that kick that followed from the alcohol in it. Seems Hooves was telling the truth. Ego smiled, reached for the bottle and then poured more wine into her glass.

“So my dear,” Centric said, with the smoothness returning to his voice. “Do tell me, how have you enjoyed my hospitality tonight?”

“Hospitality?!" Aqua snapped. "I’m threatened and blackmailed into coming here, forced to wear a dress that is clearly made to expose myself to all your perverse hench-ponies and you ask how much I have ENJOYED your hospitality?!” Aqua had jumped out her seat and found herself staring daggers at the stallion sitting in front of her. He didn’t seem phased at all by her outburst, but she herself was.

“I see.” He said, sitting back in his seat and taking another sip of wine. “Irwin had to play the blackmail card to get you to cooperate then? He never was good at pure intimidation.”

Aqua didn’t move, but she could feel her sweat running down the side of her head, she then spoke calmly, pleading to Centric.

“Look, I came here as you ordered, we’ve had dinner. I’ve done all that was asked of me. Please, just let me go home.”

Ego smiled at her and then rang the little bell twice.

“Very well, you’ve done as asked. You’re free to go home now.” He said making Aqua feel relieved. “But I have to ask, how long do you think it’ll take for that hospital to lose all its money once I declare that the money they received recently was attained by ill-gotten means and stop all external funding to their accounts?”

“What?” Aqua said, aghast. “But… I did everything you told me to do!”

“No, you did what Irwin told you to do.” The stallion said, his sweet talk now beginning to sound like poisonous venom as the last traces of his act washed away. “This is what I’m going to ask of you. Sit down.”

Aqua did so. She knew this night wouldn’t be so easy.

“What I want, well it’s very simple my dear. I want the foal.”

Oh Tartarus no! She thought to herself.

“Now I know you don’t like the sound of that, but let’s be honest. It’s not like you wanted the baby in the first place. Here, I can look after it, raise it, teach it. You… you’ll barely be able to feed it. Especially with no job once the hospital goes bankrupt. “

“You son of a bitch.” Aqua said angrily to the stallion.

“Now be reasonable. If you’re willing to cooperate then you’d be more than welcome to visit the child every day after work. It will be home schooled like my daughter, and then go on to have the highest education they could possibly have. I’d raise the foal like my own. If you don’t cooperate, well… Let’s just say your cooperation isn’t necessary for me to get what I want.”

Aqua collapsed into her seat. She couldn’t believe this.

“Why? You already have a child. Why do you need another? A stallion in you position could have any mare he wants. Why did you force me to carry yours?”

“Oh I’ve had my eyes on you for a long time.” Centric replied. “The way you were with the other foals, your kindness… nothing get me going more than a mare like you.” He stood up from his chair and walked closer to Aqua “I told you before, didn’t I? You’d make a perfect Broodmare.”

Aqua’s heart pounded in her chest. She did remember him saying that. He was so close to her now, looking her up and down, he was making her feel the same way he did on that night. Small, afraid and helpless.

“W-w-what are you g-going to do to me?”

Just then the door opened and Irwin walked into the room with a rolled up scroll, Centric backed off a step.

“Irwin, I trust that’s the correct paperwork.”

“Yes my lord, it is exactly how you ordered. Just awaiting your signatures.” The slim mint green stallion said as he walked towards the table, placing and unraveling the scroll before Aqua. She looked at it and immediately noticed that these were adoption papers. He was serious!

“Here’s the deal.” Ego said. “You agree to hand over the child to me the day it’s born and you can come and visit the baby as often as you like; your job at the hospital will be secure, as will the hospitals finances and you can continue to look after all those children you care about so much. Deny… then I make sure to liquidise the hospitals assets, having the blame placed on those in control, all of whom will be imprisoned for their dealings in tax evasion and other nefarious doings with the medical expensies, shaming them publicly, leaving me and my associates in the clear. Meanwhile I’ll buy out the hospital, you’ll lose your job, patients bills will increase to rates that only the elite could afford, sending the sick back to their homes, unable to afford the expensive medication elsewhere in Equestria and I take your baby anyway, after I make sure that social services deem you an unfit single parent.”

Aqua sunk low to the table, holding her mane in her hooves. She couldn’t believe this was happening.

“Do we have a deal, Miss Star?” Irwin said with zero emotion in his voice. He looked like he didn’t care whether or not she signed the contact. He was heartless. Centric was a monster.

“Do you promise nothing will happen to the foals, the hospital will be safe?” Aqua asked.

“Absolutely.” Centric said.

“And… and I can visit my baby any time I want. N-no exceptions.” She was crying now. She saw no way out of this. Lord Centric merely smiled at the mare. She looked from him and then at the wine glass. She drank the entire thing in one go and then picked up the quill, shakily writing her name down on it. Afterwards she tossed the quill down and began to cry as she buried her face in her forelegs. Irwin took the contract in his magic and had Centric add his name to it. Afterwards the lawyer took the contract and left the room leaving the two alone again.

“By the way, Aqua. There is one more thing.” The stallion got down low next to her ear. ”There is one contractual obligation they you’ll have to fulfill, else you make that contract voided.” She then looked up at him. “You’ll be spending the night here… with me.”
> Sleeping With The Enemy
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aqua stood before a large door in the hallway. The manor was huge and anypony could get lost easily if they were to go on their own, many times she thought about it; thought of running and getting away, protecting her unborn foal, but she knew there would be consequences. Aqua had nowhere to run to, she had to stay. The mare looked at the door with dread in her heart. She knew what was to come.

“Miss Star,” Hooves said from beside her, calmly. “I can’t imagine how you are feeling right now, but if it helps you in any way, I’d like you to know that you are doing a brave thing.” 

Brave? She had spent so long crying and feeling devastated that brave wasn’t a word she felt suited her. After Lord Centric told her that she’d have to stay the night here, she knew instantly what was going to happen. After all, she had been given an ultimatum. Either she gives up her baby voluntarily, or he’d take the baby, her job, her co-workers jobs and endanger thousands of ponies lives by taking over the hospital and charging patients extortionate amounts of bits to go there. She had no choice

“You’re sacrificing yourself for others.” The Butler continued. “Sure, your foal will be forced to live here, but it could have been much worse for you and others, plus you’re free to come and leave as you please. Most ponies wouldn’t have gotten that option.” He stood there with a genuine smile on his face. She looked up at him. 

“How… How can you work for a monster such as him? Is… he blackmailing you too?” The mare asked. 

“Blackmail? No, my dear lady. I’m here of my own free will. He pays me handsomely, it pays for my two fillies’ education and they even have a nice little home at their school. Though a stallion of my talents is in high demand, I have to say that the perks of working here are… grander, than you might expect.” 

“Perks!? Like getting to watch or join in with the sexual assault!” Aqua said with a snarky tone. Hooves at least had the decency to look offended at such a thing.

“No, ma’am. I have never engaged in such activities and do not wish to either.” 

“Then, please… Help me. Surely there’s somepony-“ Hooves cut her off by raising a hoof. 

“The local police are all in the pocket of Lord Centric and the royal guards cannot be trusted either. And even if you were to reach the Princesses, it would be your word against his, and as a Lord, his words carry much more weight. Lord Centric is careful and almost never fails to get what he wants. I’m sorry. There is no pony that you can turn to.” 

Aqua looked down at her hooves, defeated. This was really going to happen, no pony would help her. Hooves then raised her head to look at him. 

“Give him what he wants and you will be fine, and never forget this. You’ll always have one friend in Centric Manor.” He gave her a warm smile, one which she found she couldn’t return. He then turned around and walked down the hall. He had led her where she needed to be but it was now up to her what she would do. There wasn’t much choice really though. She opened the door and stepped inside the master bedroom. 

The room was exactly as she imagined it. Large, decorated in rich furnishings and soft carpeting. There was even a fireplace in the bedroom, but it wasn’t alight. The room was lit by only one candle sat on a table. Aqua moved further into the room, looking around. There were dark red curtains for the windows, closed of course, and a huge framed painting of Lord Centric above the fireplace, his picture smiled down at her, that fake smile that she hated because it hid the real monster behind it. She turned from the picture to the bed. The four-post bed had bright red drapes around it, all tied back with golden ropes, the blankets on the bed were a dark red with white pillows, and spread over the covers were little Cherry Blossom petals, like a romantic gesture. She stared at the petals in disgust, did he think this was supposed to make her feel more at ease or think that she’d find it sweet? 

The sound of the door closing caused Aqua to spin around. Lord Centric was now in the room with her.

“What do you think my dear?” He said looking towards the bed. “It’s much more lavish than our… first encounter. I just thought it would make you feel more comfortable.” 

“I’d be much more comfortable if you had disappeared and never came back into my life.” Aqua said quietly, looking to the floor. 

“Don’t be like that. I know that deep down, you enjoyed our time together.” 

Aqua wanted to say something, snap at him, get angry, buck him in his smug face. But that would have been the worst thing she could do right now, instead, she just continued to look at the floor as he strode over and placed a hoof over her shoulders. She flinched, wanting to recoil but held still. His touch felt like slime but she had given up. She’d let him do what he wanted, just to get it over with. 

“Just relax. I promise tonight will be a far more enjoyable experience for you if you do.” He whispered into her ear then led her to the bed, sitting her down on the edge of it. 

Aqua didn’t respond, she just looked at the floor as he slid his hooves across her back, down to the base of the dress to the skirt and rubbed through it feeling her flank. His other hoof came across her face and tried to turn her head to face him, she resisted a little but then he used a little of his strength to make her look at him. Her eyes never met his, but she felt his glare. He then leaned in and kissed her again and again, she could smell his breath. It wasn’t foul but it made her cringe, all the same, bringing back memories of that night two months before. He kissed her lips, licked them, tried to force them apart with his tongue, but she wouldn’t let him in. Centric then stopped, grunted and then pulled his hooves off of her, standing up tall. Before she could do anything, he slapped her across the face. She yelped from the shock more than the pain but when she looked back up at him, he had that murderous look in his eyes. 

“Listen to me, you little bitch. If this is the game you’re going to play, then you can forget the deal. I can do what I want to you and no pony will know. I’ll have you caged up in the basement until you give birth to your foal and then leave you down there to rot! Is that what you want?!” He shouted at her. Aqua shook her head, terrified. 

“N-no. I-I-I’m sorry! I’ll do what you want!” She said in a panic. This stallion was a psycho and she honestly believed that his threats held weight. She remembered Hooves words from earlier 

‘Give him what he wants’ 

Centric looked her up and down. 

“Take off that dress.” He said, still sounding angry, but at least not shouting. She nodded shakily then let her horn glow before he slapped her again. “Not with magic!” He took a breath and smiled at her. “Use your hooves, and do it slowly.” Aqua rubbed her face as she nodded. Tears beginning to fill the corners of her eyes. 

She reached down and began to undo the buttons on the top half of her dress, she realised now why he wanted her to do it this way. It allowed him to watch as she physically undressed before him, something that was supposed to be intimate and closely shared with your special somepony. He leered at her, watching as button by button her upper body became exposed. Centric then reached out and grabbed her hoof, stopping her. She was scared she had done something wrong, but he just leaned in and gave her another kiss. She froze up again at this, her reflexes hating his touch, but she was afraid of what he might do if she upset him, so she relaxed and opened her mouth. Aqua felt the stallion smile at her invitation as he entered her mouth and began to explore the insides, letting his tongue come into contact with hers. Then her teeth, the roof of her mouth, he then rolled his tongue around hers, enjoying how she tastes. 

The mare made a noise, which Ego believed to be a hint of excitement but really she was breaking down, she had not only surrendered her body but also her will to this monster. He would do as he pleased and she would allow it. His hooves slipped into her dress, rubbing her chest gently at first and then pushing her down against the bed. He started to pull the dress open and slowly undo the buttons as he continued to kiss her. Her breath was getting shorter now and she felt his hoof snake deeper into her dress; rubbing her, exploring her body, staying above the belt. Aqua noticed that she was running out of air and tried to pull away, but the Ego held her tight. She gave a noise of panic as she desperately needed to take a breath. He slowly pulled away from her, with his tongue still hanging out, both ponies breathing heavily less than an inch from each other’s faces. He looked into her eyes as he closed his mouth.

“You are divine, Precious.“ The gray stallion reached up and removed his neckerchief and then began to remove his red blazer. He was only wearing a white shirt now, half unbuttoned. 

He looked at her dress then back to her. Without a word Aqua nodded and then looking away, undid the belt holding the dress up and pushed it all to the floor. She was now completely naked on his bed her pregnant belly clearly showing a small bump where their foal was growing. The stallion smiled and nodded towards the head of the bed. She closed her eyes and then climbed all the way onto it, sitting at the headboard. Ego followed her and then pushed her down gently, lying her flat with her head on a pillow. Aqua quickly closed her legs together to try and protect her modesty, but he didn’t seem interested in that. His eyes were glued on her belly and then raising a hoof, he began to gently rub her belly in circles, enjoying the feeling of the mother to be, lying on his bed. 

“I’m going to take great care of our child, I promise you.” Centric said with a smile.

Aqua cringed as he stroked and kissed her belly, he pulled away from her and reached into his bedside cabinet. He pulled out a small pink device with a wire and switch attached to it. The blue unicorn knew what this was. A bullet vibrator. He brought it down between her legs and rubbed the little vibrator against the front wall of her vagina. She flinched at the touch and closed her eyes. He rubbed constantly and even used his free hoof to pull her vulvar apart. She was starting to respond to this, gradually getting wetter as he teased her. The stallion, satisfied that she was moist enough, began to push the vibrator into her, getting it as deep as he could before turning it on and setting it to medium. Aqua jolted at the sensation and her mouth opened a little, gasping. She closed her eyes as she threw her head back against the pillow, the vibrations doing their work on her most sensitive area and having a strong effect. The stallion smiled and then rose up over her, bringing his hardening penis to her wet entrance. Aqua opened her eyes again and could see his cock lining up with her vagina. He lowered himself down and stared into her eyes as he began to rub himself against her, sliding his cock against her lower lips, up and down, loving the feel as her moistening pussy vibrated against his shaft. Aqua, her mind hazy from the sensations she was feeling tried to say something, but then he thrust roughly against her and his medial ring flicked against her clit causing her a massive shock of pleasure. He did this again and again until it became too much and her first orgasm of the night stuck, causing her to involuntarily bucked her hips against him as the pleasure overtook the mare. 

She then laid back again, breathing heavy and trying to recover after letting the sensations overtake her. Centric smiled as he saw the mare collapse against the bed, taking deep breaths. He loved seeing her cum like this and would make sure she experienced more like it through the night. Feeling that he was slick enough with her juices now, the gray stallion pulled back and prepared to enter her. But instead of lining up with her vagina, he went lower. Aqua just felt his position switch and through blurry eyes saw what he was doing before feeling the pressure against her anus. 

“W-wait!” Aqua suddenly said, causing Ego to stop where he was. He then looked at her with a cruel smile. “You can’t-“ 

In one thrust he was in. Aqua yelled loudly as she felt the pain of the stallions cock entering her tight asshole. He didn’t move, instead, he watched her face as it screwed up in pain, her teeth gritting together before she let out a pained whine. The mare hadn’t had time to prepare before he entered her and now she could feel every part of his shaft and it spread her. Tears forming at the corners of her eyes from the pained intrusion. Ego loved looking at her face while she was clearly in pain. He wiped a single tear away from her face while he waited for her to get used to the feeling. The second she opened her eyes to look at him, he began thrusting again causing Aqua to screw up her face again from the pain. She felt every bump and notch enter her, all the way to his medial ring, filling her in a way she’d never experienced before. It hurt worse than when he’d first raped her but at least he was taking it slow, she thought. Centric then began to pull out until he had only the tip of his penis still inside her. He then grabbed her hind legs tight and started to thrust back into her, pulling the mare onto himself as he thrust into her. Her pained moans echoed through the room as he pushed deeper into her. Soon he got his entire cock buried deep inside her and his thrusts began to slap against her flanks, adding to the noise of the room. This kept up as her moans mixed from pain into pleasure as the little vibrator continued to do it's work, deep in her pussy. Soon Aqua reached her second orgasm from the stimulation, her juices squirting out and soaking the stallion pelvis with each slap of their hips, and running down to her asshole, making his rod slicker than before. 

After hearing her moans and feeling the mare's asshole clamp tightly on his cock, he knew she'd experienced another orgasm and the stallion picked up the pace, rutting into her as hard as he could. She felt amazing, she felt perfect. He wanted to fuck this mare every night. Oh yes, she would make an excellent broodmare, he thought to himself. Receiving his seed every night, giving him foal after foal. He’d make her his. She WILL be his! Ego then grunted as the hard slaps of his hips against her ass echoed throughout the room, making the mare start to moan loudly again. He could feel he was at his peak and after grunting and giving a few extra hard thrusts, he, at last, came inside her and filled Aqua's ass with thick gooey strings of his seamen. He pulled out of her, while still in mid orgasm and jerked himself off, getting those last few spurts across her cunt and pregnant belly. Spent, he then laid down beside her and didn’t move, his shirt was completely soaked in his own sweat, and Aqua’s mane was a mess from the rough trusting she’d endured, rocking her up and down the bed. The unicorn thought she was about to pass out, but the vibrator in her pussy was still going. She forced herself to sit up shakily and then reached down and switched it off, not having much more strength to do anything else but sit there, feeling very sore. Lord Centric heard the click and opened his eyes, staring at Aqua who was now sitting up and looking at all of his cum that she was now covered in. She was about to wipe it off onto the sheets before Centric mumbled for her to stop.

He was still lying on his side for a moment before he himself sat up beside her. Taking his shirt off, he let her use it to clean herself up. Aqua took the shirt in her magic and tried to not to touch it. It smelled strongly of him and while she didn’t like the idea of rubbing herself with it, she hated the feeling of his jizz all over her even more so she wiped it all off onto his shirt while moving slowly from exhaustion. Her ass hurt so much and she could feel the cum inside her beginning to leak out. She wiped the cum off herself onto the shirt and then tossed it to the floor. She now smelt like him. His musk soaked into her fur made the unicorn feel dirty and she desperately wanted to take a shower. She felt like such a whore, selling her body to this sicko, but it was to protect other ponies. It was a horrible price to pay, but at least it was over now. She reached down to pull the vibrator out of herself but then Centric grabbed her hoof.

“I’ve been thinking, Precious.” He said to her. “And I don’t think I’m too fond of our arrangement.”

“Wha- what do you mean?” Aqua didn't turn to face him. 

“Well, I don’t think you’re giving enough.” 

“What!?” Aqua was shocked at this and spun to look at him. “You’ve destroyed my life, you’ve threatened my co-workers, you broke into my house and raped me, left me pregnant, and you’re even blackmailing me and taking the baby away! I even gave myself to you tonight! I have nothing left to give!” 

Ego didn’t blink an eye.

“Yes, you are right. But there’s one more thing I want.” 

“And what’s that?” Aqua asked spitefully.

“I want you.” 

Aqua couldn’t respond. She didn’t want to imagine what he meant by that. She didn’t have to, he continued. 

“I want you to live here, in my house, eat my food, and to share my bed. You won’t have to give up your foal, you’ll be with them always. You will live like royalty, your job at the hospital will be safe as well, should you wish to keep working there. Or perhaps you’d like to just stay with me. Yes, I think that might be better actually. You’ll stay with me and go only where I tell you to go. You’ll become MY mare.”

Aqua’s mind had frozen. She thought that it couldn’t get any worse than it already had but Centric had done it again. She was going to be made to give up her life? Never leave this mansion. Become his. Like a PET!

“You son of a-“ Aqua responded, feeling her temper snap. All her anger, her bottled up rage, all the emotions she buried finally pushed her off the deep end.

The blue unicorn’s horn glowed red. She didn’t know what spell she was charging up but it was going to hurt him. If her life was over anyway she might as well get in a good hit. Centric looked at her horn as the red magic poured out into a cloud above her, uncontrolled and dangerous. His murderous smile came back, daring her to try it. 

Just then there was a bang on the door. 

“Daddy?” 

The door clicked and slowly began to open. Aqua turned to look as Sandy Shores came into the room, her rage-filled magic fizzled out instantly. Ego moved fast and caught Aqua unaware, jumping onto her, pulling her onto the bed and then covering them both up with the blanket. The filly then walked completely into the room wearing white and pink pajamas, holding her teddy bear to her mussel with one hoof. She looked tired and upset. 

“Daddy, I had a bad dream. Could I-” She saw the yellow dress on the floor and recognised it as the one Aqua had been wearing. The filly then looked up and saw two ponies in the bed. “Daddy, what’s going on?” 

Aqua didn’t say a word. She couldn’t. They had just been caught in a situation that fillies her age shouldn’t see. She was surprised to see even Centric wasn’t quite sure what to say. 

“Why is Miss Star still here? What’s she doing in your bed?” Sandy asked quizzically. 

“Sandy, go back to your-“ Centric started to say but his daughter cut him off with more questions.  

“Are you sick, daddy? Are you having a sleepover? Wait, you can’t have sleepovers without sleeping bags, and daddies are only supposed to share their beds with mommies.” The gears were turning in Sandy’s head, suddenly her mouth dropped as did her teddy to the floor and the filly galloped over and jumped onto the bed looking directly at Aqua. 

“Are you going to be my new mommy!!?” Sandy shouted enthusiastically.

The unicorn mare stammered, completely stunned by this turnabout. She then felt the gaze of Lord Centric gazing at her. 

“Well Aqua, it seems we’ve been caught. Do you want to tell her, or shall I?” Aqua didn’t understand what he was asking her to say. Then, unseen under the blankets, the stallion slipped a hoof to the vibrator switch and turned it low. Her already sensitive marehood throbbed at the sensation, causing her to curl up a little under the sheets. She wanted to buck him right in his face, doing such a thing right in front of his daughter. This was also making it harder for her to think. The sound of the vibrator was also muffed to complete quietness. Not only was it deep inside her, but the blankets also stopped any sound getting out for the filly to hear. Aqua had no other choice. She had to do what was right for her baby. 

“Y-yes Sandy. I’m… I’m going to be your new mommy.” Aqua tried to put her best smile on, but it only came out looking forced. Sandy didn't notice though as she started bouncing on the bed in joy, chanting yes, yes, yes over and over, making the vibrator in Aqua more stimulating. The mare couldn't take much more of this, her pussy was on fire with unwanted pleasure and she was already getting close again. Thankfully the gray stallion put a stop to the bouncing, grabbing the little filly and settling her down.

“Hey now sweetie, listen, we were trying to sleep here and we'd like to go back to it. We can have a proper celebration tomorrow. Now, run along to bed and we will see you in the morning. Okay?”

“Okay, Daddy.” She quickly gave her dad a hug. “I love you.” She then turned around to jump off the bed but stopped. She then turned back and gave Aqua a hug as well. She didn’t say anything but giggled happily as she bounded off the bed and ran out of the room, leaving the door ajar. Centric then slipped out of the bed, sporting a semi-erection under his belly. Apparently, he'd been enjoying the situation he'd put Aqua into. The mare switched the vibrator off as he walked over to the doorway, picking up the bear. He looked at it fondly and stroked flat a part of its messed up fur. Aqua quickly removed the vibrator from herself and tossed it to the floor. 

“You’re a monster, you know that? One day that filly will see you for what you are.” 

“Maybe one day.” He responded quietly. "But you won't tell her anything, will you."He then looked over to Aqua with a glare. The blue mare got the hint and decided to keep quiet on the subject. She noticed that the stallions member had fully receded now and he stepped out the open door. “She can’t sleep without her bear. Don’t leave.” He then shut the door and Aqua heard the sound of his hooves trotting down the hall. 

Aqua stayed on the bed unmoving for the longest time. Thinking about everything that she had gone through, everything she had agreed to. She rubbed her belly again. Why did she even care about this foal? She never wanted a child, she never wanted to have THAT stallions child! Yet… her base instinct was to protect it. It's done nothing wrong. She wanted it to be raised well, safe, protected. Aqua didn't think this was a good place for a foal to grow up in, although Sandy Shores was doing well. Other than that Virus she caught before, she was in perfect health and happy here. Would Lord Centric treat her baby the same? He seemed to want the foal. But why? 

Aqua waited quietly in the room, running it all through her head when she heard the door click open again as the gray stallion came into the room, shutting the door behind himself. His face was emotionless, maybe a little saddened. He looked at Aqua and then motioned for her to get off the bed. She did so without a word and then he came over to the bed. He started to remark the bed, tidying it up. Aqua watched him for a while before she spoke up. 

“Lord Centric?” He didn’t respond. “Please, I really need a shower.” 

He finished making the bed and then slowly walked around to Aqua and carefully held out a hoof. Aqua didn’t know what he was doing. Did something happen when he went to see his daughter? Why was he being so quiet? Slowly she raised a hoof up and let him take it. His touch was gentle. Like he didn’t want to hurt her. He looked from her hoof to her eyes, as she did the same back. Aqua didn’t move, she could feel her heart beating in her chest, unsure of what was actually going on. 

His expression changed.

He then snapped a hoofcuff on her and pulled her to the bedpost before she could react, then he snapped the other half over her right hoof effectively chaining her to the post. She started to scream in panic, wanting him to let her go, but before she could do much else, he’s grabbed his shirt off the floor and pulled it into her mouth and tied it around her mussel like a gag, muffling her screams and protests. She could taste the sweat and cum still on the shirt that she’d wiped off of herself, it was foul but she couldn't get it out. This all happened so fast and then he grabbed her mane, pulled her head back and leaned in close. 

“No pony calls me a monster, no pony insults me, and no pony EVER threatens me! You understand that?!” 

Aqua nodded her head furiously although it hurt with his tight grip on her mane. This was what she had been afraid off all night, this violent, crazy, mad pony who had attacked her all those months ago. Once again she found herself tied up, helpless and silenced. She then felt a metallic ring slide over her horn. She knew what it was; a magic blocker. Centric released her and she fell against the bedpost, breathing through her nose since she couldn't breathe properly through the gag.

“You won’t be sleeping in my bed until you’ve earned that right.” He said to her harshly. “Once you prove your deserving, then you can. Until then you’ll do what I want you to do when I want you to do it and how I want it done! Am I clear?” Aqua nodded again, afraid of doing anything else. He then got really close to her ear and whispered. “You belong to me now.”

A choked sob escaped from Aqua Star as she realized that there was no getting out of this now. She should have run earlier when he left the room, she should have never come to this house in the first place. Just then she felt pressure on her pussy as the bullet vibrator was roughly re-inserted into her. Centric then held out the switch in front of her face. 

“You dropped this by the way. Don’t drop it again.” 

Centric then switched the vibrator to the max and Aqua’s legs buckled under her. Aqua looked back up just in time to see the stallion let go of the switch, leaving it to fall to the floor before she even had time to react and grab it. The vibrator continually buzzed away inside her, causing her head to spin and her body to twitch uncontrollably. The switch was now on the floor next to her, but with both her forehooves cuffed around the bedpost and her magic blocked, she couldn’t reach it. Her hind legs were slowly going numb and even if she reached the switch with those, she still wouldn’t be able to turn it off. 

She screamed into the gag, begging for the stallion to stop it, to turn it off. She was already going mad from the bullet as it brought her sensitive vagina to the point of painful ecstasy. She gasped and squealed through the gag as it again pushed her over the edge. She came against the bedpost, throwing her head back as she made a mess on the carpet below her, the vibrations giving her sore pussy more stimulation than she could stand… and it didn’t stop. It kept going, causing her pleasure to mix back more into pain, causing so much discomfort that she couldn’t stand up anymore, dropping to her knees, her forehoofs now above her. With tears in her eyes, she saw Centric grab his blazer off the floor, throw it over his back and then blow out the candle. The stallion headed slowly towards the door and opened it. He then spoke in his kind voice again. 

“I’m going to sleep in one of the other rooms tonight. I think I need a quiet night after all this.” He then stepped out the door and turned back to Aqua whose eyes had turned to pinpricks. ”Have a good night... Precious.” He then shut and locked the door behind him, leaving Aqua alone in the darkness with the vibrator, which assaulted her through the night, and wouldn’t stop again until the next morning, when the battery finally ran out.
> The Young Stylist
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a week since Aqua Star's first night in Lord Centric manor. She could easily tell you that it was the worst week of her life, without question. The memories and trauma she had suffered in the last seven days repeated and repeated in her mind and she needed a distraction from her thoughts. Hooves had suggested to her that she help Cookie (The chef) in the kitchen. The kitchen was huge. Clean white and grey countertops were all around,  pots and pans hung from above the centre counter, one of the pots sat on the stove full of water that was starting to boil, several large fridges took up one whole wall, and the smell of the Apple Pies in the oven was begging to fill the room. 

Aqua stood by the side counter in the kitchen peeling potatoes using her hooves. She was a unicorn but Lord Centric had placed a magic ring on her horn, that she now had to wear on a permanent basis, and it prevented her from using any of her magic. The ring wasn't fixed to her horn in any way, but she dared not take it off again after the last time. She had taken it off once with some effort while trying to take a shower, wanting to use her magic to help clean herself, but Lord Centric entered the bathroom shortly afterwards and then assaulted her. The ring apparently had a tracker on it which told him where she was at all times and if she ever took it off. He hit her across the face, knocking the unicorn to the ground, then shouted at her that she was never again to use her magic or remove the ring without his permission. Aqua nodded fearfully at the stallion and apoligised repeatedly before he dragged the mare by her mane into the shower. He cuffed her hooves either side of the shower head, stuffed a washcloth into her mouth, turned the cold water on and left, leaving her there for hours, all the while her muffled screams for him to come back were heard by no one. 

Hooves had found her in there eventually and untied her, he then gave the mare a towel and helped her to the bedroom where he lit a fire in the bedrooms fireplace and gave her a hotcoco. Hooves stayed with her for a while before he left her alone to return to his duties; That's when Centric found her, trying to warm up by the fire. He forced himself upon her, tossing the coco against the fire hearth and promising to really warm her up. She didn't move as he pushed her flat onto her back, the blankets she was wrapped in fell away as he lifted and spread her legs before penetrating her. She offered no resistance and only laid there, looking away from him until he finished. 

Aqua had learned after the first night not to fight back, since it only made things worse for her, but on the third day, she tried to struggle away from him, demanding that she hadn't slept for more than an hour since her delighted in either tying her to the bedpost with a vibrator in her or brutally raping her so bad that she stayed up all night crying. He relented and left, promising her that she could sleep. She thought she had finally earned a victory over him but he just came back later with a chloroformed rag, pinned her down, covered her mouth with it and knocked her out. When she awoke, she was in a dark room which she would later learn was his basement. She couldn't see anything in the dark and nor could she move, her legs were all tied down to whatever she was strapped to. From the shadows she heard the stallion whispering to her, asking if she'd had enough sleep. She didn't know how long she'd been out for but she didn't feel rested at all. Then the lights turned on dimly and she saw she was tied to a table with her hindlegs tied into a pair of stirrups and spread wide open. Centric had his way with her many times that day, inserting many of his different toys in both her holes, nipping and licking at her nipples while she begged for him to stop and let her go. After what felt like a lifetime and she felt she was about to pass out from exhaustion, he finished their session by blowing his load over her pregnant belly and gently rubbing it into her fur. Centric then walked over to the dark corner where the walls still couldn't be seen and brought back a pair of large vibrators, stuffed them into her pussy and asshole and then switched them both on, leaving her for the night. 

Aqua learned the hard way to never make him angry and never tell him no. If she ever wanted to get out of this, she'd have to play along and as much as she hated it, she'd have to keep him happy. 

The door swung open and the butler walked in, snapping Aqua back to reality. 

"Miss Star," The stallion said adjusting his monocle, "I believe that's enough potatoes."

Aqua looked down at the potatoes she was supposed to be peeling to distract herself and noticed that the small basket was already over-flowing with peeled potatoes. 

"I-I'm sorry, I-" She started to apologise but the stallion cut her off.

"You got lost in thought again, didn't you?" He said with a serious tone. The blue mare looked down at the peeler in her hooves. Once or twice she had thought of taking the easy way out, but never acted on the impulse. She had to be strong; for the baby. It was for this reason Aqua had to always kept herself busy, to avoid thinking about her situation. She was a prisoner of Lord Centric and while he did let her move around the mansion freely, there was always at least one stallion watching her at all times, usually watching from the shadows out of sight, but she knew they were there. Ever since the shower incident, she knew she was always being tracked by the ring on her horn and never had a moments peace. Even here in the kitchen, she was to be supervised constantly, but Hooves had told the stallion to leave the room and instead he'd watch her. The stallion didn't comply at first but then the butler made a pass on the stallions hygiene and commented that should Cookie find him in the kitchen, there would be consequences. The chef was known for having a short temper and the stallion, realising his fate, took his leave. She was very grateful to Hooves for being so kind to her, but he made it clear many times that while he disapproved of what was happening here, he would never raise a hoof to defy his master and he followed every order without fail.

"Miss Star, if you continue to dwell on your situation like this then you will lose yourself." Hooves said to her. 

"And what would you know of my situation?" Aqua mumbled back. He didn't respond. She took a long look at the navy blue stallion, his face hid all emotion, but she could see pain in his eyes, as if remembering. Aqua then remembered the stallion had two daughters and realised that there must have been a wife. Yet he never mentioned her once. 

"Who was she?" The mare asked. Hooves peered at her through his monocle and didn't answer. After a few seconds of silence, she realised that perhaps she'd asked him too sensitive of a question and turned away. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-" 

"It's quite alright." He said interrupting her. He sounded like he was holding something back, like he was about to say something but then he just walked past her. "We must get dinner on the go. We're having guests tonight." 

Hooves used his magic to levitate all the peeled potatoes away and began cutting them in halves and quarters before dropping them into the cooking pot full of hot water leaving Aqua to just watch as the stallion began to prepare the rest of the meal. She wasn't sure what his story was here but he had said that he was here of his own free will yet seemed to dislike everything that happened here. He also had mentioned that there were grand perks working for Lord Centric. What did he mean by that? Was it just about the money?

The kitchen door opened up and the chef walked in. She was a larger than average teal green pegasus with small wings and a blue and orange mane hidden under a chef's hat. Upon seeing Aqua standing in the kitchen not working, she began to yell at her. It was all in 'Fancy', a language few actually spoke, and the blue unicorn couldn't understand what the chef was saying, but assumed it to be something along the lines of "Make yourself useful or get out." Aqua said sorry and left the kitchen quickly. As she left she could hear the pegasus now yelling something to Hooves. She could of sworn she saw Hooves smiling, as if he found the shouting humourous. She didn't focus on that for long, instead she just started walking around the large mansion, randomly.

Suddenly she remembered what Hooves had said: 

"We're having guests tonight."  

Maybe it was going to be politicians or the Canterlot Elite, as they were called. Idea's then began to form in her mind. Maybe she'd be able to entrust one of them? This could be her one opportunity to get out a message for help! She placed a hoof to a window looking out towards Canterlot Castle far in the background but easily within running distance, it could maybe take her an hour to get there on hoof, or longer in her condition. Maybe if she could get a message to the Princesses then they could come here and rescue her. She placed a hoof to her belly and rubbed gently against her unborn foal. Rescue the both of them. 

Just then a light red stallion with a brown mane came walking around the corner. He stood there just staring at her, like he was giving her a warning. He must have seen her place a hoof on the window thinking she was trying to open it, or maybe testing its strength to break out later. What was she thinking!? Of course she'd never get a chance to speak with the other ponies alone, she was always being watched and this dinner tonight she'd probably just be locked in her room so that no pony would know she was here. Aqua lowered her hoof, turned towards the stallion and then walked right past him. He watched her go, trying to get a good view of her lady parts, but Aqua kept herself covered with her tail, knowing that the stallion was trying to get a look at her. He smiled regardless. He'd get his chance one day.

Aqua headed towards her bedroom. She knew the dinner party was going to be starting in a few hours and Centric probably wouldn't want her down there. If she said one word about what was really happening here, it could ruin him. Then again it was her word against his and who would believe her? To the public, he was a beloved, powerful stallion that raised money for charities and kept struggling businesses running for the public's good. (Though what most didn't know of was the amount of blackmailing, kidnapping and extortion he dealt in.) Her? She was just a single mare who ponies believe got knocked up on a one night stand, quit her job as a Doctor and abandoned her home. Centric had seen to that. He's probably already made up some story about taking in a poor, down on her luck, single mother to be and offered to help her raise her child like the kind stallion he is. Oh, he was good at twisting the facts to make himself look good. She reached the bedroom door, thinking maybe she could just sleep for hours until Centric came for her again.  Just began to open it when she heard some pony coming. Another one of Ego's guards, she supposed, watching her every move, at least they were barred from following into the bedroom. Aqua pushed the door open and went to walk inside quickly before she heard a voice call out to her.

"Getting ready for the big dinner tonight, are we?" Aqua froze up and looked to her right. It was Lord Centric. "Excellent, I do hope you'll put on that stunning dress I brought for you. I'm really hoping to show you off to our guests tonight." The mare took a step back. 

"S-show me off?... Lord Centric?" 

"Of course. A beautiful mare like you shouldn't be hidden away. I want all my good friends to get to know you. I mean, you are going to be my future bride... aren't you!" He added the last bit with a drop of venom. She knew exactly what dress he was talking about; The yellow one with the revealing backside. Aqua wanted to argue, say no, ask to be spared that humiliation, but she had learned that you 'Never say no to your Lord'. Aqua nodded slowly looking to the floor.

"Of- Of course, Lord Centric." 

"Excellent. I'll see you down there later." He turned to go, then quickly turned back "Infact, I'm going to send up my stylist, Crisp Edge. She'll be able to do wonders for your mane, get you looking more stunning then you could imagine! Don't go wondering off now." 

With that, the stallion walked away and left Aqua alone. She went into the bedroom and closed the door, collapsing against it. She didn't want to do this, and she certainly didn't want her mane done up, she liked it as it was. But this is what her new life was going to be like now; She had no control over what she wanted. 

- - - - - 

There was a gentle knock at the door. Aqua, who had still been slumped against it, didn't move at first or make a noise. There was another knock a few seconds later, this one less confident. 

"Miss Star? Are you in there?" A sweet voice asked slightly nervous. Aqua stood up and then opened the door. On the other side was a young mare, she had a cream coloured coat and a pink and yellow mane that hung low, down one side of her face. Her cutie mark was a pair of hair brushes. She was an earth pony too, which surprised Aqua since most hairdressers she knew were unicorns, the levitation magic really helpful with getting things done fast. 

"Hello, Miss Star. Lord Centric sent me to help you with your mane." Aqua stood aside to let the mare in. She wasn't happy about this but knew that whether she wanted it or not, this was going to happen. The cream mare picked up her black bag and carried it inside with her, taking it over to the dressing table with a mirror. 

"So, is there any particular style you wanted to go for tonight?" The mare asked kindly. Her voice was sweet if a little bit high, and carried with it a slight accent. Aqua looked away from the mare.

"I don't even want to have my mane styled." She said quietly walking over towards the fireplace. It wasn't alight but she just wanted to look away. The stylist realised quickly what was going on and took a quiet step towards her. 

"I'm sorry, I'd leave right now but, Lord Centric is expecting me to do this..." The stylist looked on worriedly at Aqua as she didn't move. "I understand that a lady's mane is very important to her, I do. That's why I enjoy my work, and I'm very good at bringing out the best in a mare's mane; At least that's what my teacher says." She said with pride. "I promise, I'll not do anything to your mane that we cannot undo tomorrow morning if you wish. I'll see to it personally, you have my word."   

Aqua heard the worry in the mare's voice if she didn't do her job. Slowly the unicorn turned to the mare and nodded. The stylist started opening her bags and setting out all her equipment. Clippers, brushes, hairspray and a manner of other things. Looking at her, Aqua saw that this mare was quite young and on the petite side. Then she remembered that she had mentioned a teacher.

"How old are you?" Aqua asked out of curiosity. The mare smiled, looking at unicorn through the mirror as she arranged her stuff. 

"Oh, not much younger than you, I'm sure." She said, playing the flattery card early. "But I am admittedly still in barber school." Aqua guessed that this mare must have been in her mid-teens if she was still in a training school. She herself had finished medical school at least 8 years ago. "But I'm the top of my class and have worked on many high profile events! I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Lord Centric. He's my sponsor, you see, and he allows me to do what I love. He's always calling on me when he needs to look his best." 

"And he asks nothing else of you?" Aqua asked suspiciously. This was Lord Centric they were talking about. The mare hesitated before answering. 

"Well... Lord Centric asked that I give him one thing. I couldn't say no." There was no trace of a smile from the mare as she said that. 

One thing? Aqua thought to herself. What could she have that he'd want? The young mare then brushed off the seat before the dresser and indicated for the unicorn mare to have a seat. 

"So, shall we get started." She said, her chirpiness back in her voice. "I have a wonderful idea of what to do with your mane. -Not that it isn't lovely already! I mean... just for tonight." The stylist said nervously, worried she had said the wrong thing. Aqua took a seat, saying no more on the subject and just instead looked into the mirror, watching the young mare. She started with a brush and began to comb out the unicorns purple mane. The mare seemed to hum a tune to herself while she did her work. She seemed to be really happy.

"So, what's your name?" Aqua asked.

"Oh!" She stopped brushing and took a step back. "I'm sorry, I never introduced myself. My name is Crisp Edge, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Star." Crisp said with a bow. She seemed very kind and polite, nervous even of making a bad impression on ponies. Aqua smiled at her, trying to make her feel more at ease. 

"It nice to meet you too." She replied with a smile. Crisp Edge gave her a smile back. She looked adorable when she was showing off her real smile like that, rather than a forced one. "So, how did you become a stylist?" 

Crisp then talked about how she had earned her cutie mark, giving out free haircuts to the poor at a hair-saloon as part of a foals work experience day to help promote the barber's business. She earned her cutie mark that day and fell in love with the trade, making ponies smile after they have their mane's transformed. She began working a part-time job their while attending her regular classes and trying to earn enough bits to save up for a Barber's school and become a professional stylist. But as determined as she was, it wasn't long before the work and her school was getting too exhausting for her to balance, her grades were getting worse due to stress and lack of sleep, staying up late to study both for exams and different manestyle tricks for her future; Plus she wasn't earning enough bits to pay for her dream school. She was ready to give it all up realising that she couldn't get into the college without the money, then one day a mare with a magenta coat and an orange mane called Violet Daffodil came to the hair-saloon. She was very impressed with Crisp Edge and offered to get her a meeting with Lord Centric to help her out with her money problems. After they met, he took her in and paid for her full admission to the Barber's school in exchange that she now worked for him. 

Aqua listened to the mare's story and tried to think why Centric would be so kind to her? Was it another publicity stunt to show the ponies what a kind, generous stallion he was? 

Several hours passed and in that time they had talked, made a few light-hearted jokes, Aqua told Crisp of the mares she had worked with in the hospital and spoken about how one time a nurse accidentally slipped on a foal's toy race cart and landed face first in the childs mushy peas, making all the foals laugh. As they spoke, Aqua had her mane put into curlers and styled by Crisp who certainly knew what she was doing. She also helped the unicorn putting on her dress since she couldn't use her magic anymore. She was kind to Aqua and understanding, even apologetic about changing her mane style against her wishes, but reminded her that Lord Centric is the kind of stallion you make sacrifices for to keep happy; And Aqua knew it. The dinner party was going to be starting soon and awaiting the Lord's, new lady. Crisp Edge removed the curlers one by one, leaving Aqua's mane to be a lot more curly and poofy than before. She looked at it for a while and thought it actually looked rather nice. 

"You look beautiful, Miss Star." Crisp Edge said sincerely.

The unicorn mare agreed and hopped down from the stool she had been sat on then walked to the full dress mirror to look at herself. Before her, stood a whole new pony, beautiful, elegant and full of confidence. It was surprising to her what a different style do for your mood. Maybe she could make this work? Centric was a horrible stallion, but if she could just keep him happy, maybe it wouldn't be so hard to raise her child here, and Ego's daughter was a wonderful little filly whom Aqua loved to spend time with, and wished nothing but the best for such a kind hearted child. She was blissfully ignorant of all her father's wrongdoings but Aqua knew she'd learn the truth one day. 

"And don't worry," Said the young mare. "I promise to come back tomorrow first thing and return it back to normal. I made sure to memorize how it was for you."

Aqua thought about it and put a hoof up gently to her mane. It was light and bouncy now, and the same thing even had been done to her tail. She spun around looking at herself from each angle. She then turned back to the stylist.

"Maybe... we can leave it like this for a few days, see how we get on, yeah?" Aqua responded. Crisp smiled brightly happy she'd done such a good job. Aqua smiled back to her. "Thank you. You really are amazing at what you do." 

"T-thank you, Miss Star." 

"Please, call me Aqua." 

Crisp blushed and looked to the floor, grinning from ear to ear. 

Suddenly they were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Both mares turned to face the door as Lord Centric walked into the room.

"It's almost time, precious. Are you-" He stopped suddenly getting a good look at Aqua Star and her new mane style. She had never seen him so stunned. The grey stallion realised after a few seconds that he'd been staring and flashed her a kind smile as he closed the door behind himself. "My my my, who is this beautiful mare I see standing before me?" 

Aqua put on her most flattering smile and played along, "Why, my lord. You flatter me so." 

He walked around her in circles taking in every angle of her. Her face, her dress, the new mane style. She was actually enjoying the attention that was coming her way without, for once, it seeming like he was undressing her with his eyes.

"Edge, you've done a fantastic job on my beloveds mane." He looked  at Crisp Edge and walked towards her as she kneeled down and bowed low to him.

"Oh, thank you, my Lord. It was a pleasure." She responded happily.

"She's more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. Her mane is just stunning. You've really outdone yourself." Crisp smiled at the Lord's kind praise. 

"However..." He paused. Both mares felt their breaths hitch in the throats. Suddenly his tone changed. "She looks so good it's making me want to have some fun before going down to meet with our guests." He looked back to the blue mare and smirked at her.

Aqua felt disguised at that kind of compliment. She remembered exactly what this stallion was all about and thought herself a fool that he could even make one honest compliment without it being perverted in someway. That's when she saw his stallionhood had started to come forth from its sheath and begin to hang low. Crisp Edge saw it too from her position, she started to tremble at the sight of it and then closed her eyes, turning her head away slightly. Lord Centric turned around to stand side by side with the cream coloured mare who was still bowing low. 

"I think something has to be done about that, don't you ladies?" He said in a sultry voice, making his desires clear. Crisp gave a high pitched squeak and clamped her eyes shut tight, biting her lip. Aqua looked at the young mare and saw the panic on her face, then she looked again to the stallion to see he was flicking his blue tail upwards and dragging it along the mares hindquarters, making sure it flicked gently against her intimate area. 

Aqua stepped forward quickly.  

"What are you-!" She shouted but then froze. She didn't mean to say anything but her instinct kicked in and she couldn't control herself. "P-please, My Lord. Lord Centric." He stopped what he was doing with his tail but the bowing mare didn't move, other than taking shuddering breaths in through her nose. "If... If you must, then please, use me! Fulfil your desires through me. Not her. She's too young!" 

The stallion smiled and took a step towards Aqua. She wanted to back away but stood her ground, showing that she was serious. Lord Centric then surprised her with what he said next. 

"No."

She was stunned. She freely offered herself to him and he said no?

"No, because you look incredible, beautiful, wonderful. And what I desire of you would ruin your perfect looks before dinner tonight, and I want you to stay this way for as long as possible. Besides, it's a little too late for such a concern with this mare. I took her virginity years ago."

Aqua felt a rock drop into her stomach. 

He took her virginity years ago? She thought to herself. When did he...?

"Lord Centric asked that I give him one thing. I couldn't say no."

Aqua felt disgusted. Crisp must have been still so young when it happened. She couldn't believe it. Centric enjoyed watching the horror on the unicorn's face as she realised. Then without looking back, he shouted to the stylist. 

"Get off the floor and lie down on the edge of the bed. Now." 

She stood up and obeyed without a word. She was sniffling as she laid on her front, kept her eyes closed and faced towards the far wall. 

"I'm glad you're coming around to all this, Precious, but never forget. You are mine when I want you. Not just because you're willing." With that he turned around to the mare on the bed who was still trembling. 

Aqua wanted to help her but there was nothing she could do. Crisp knew that as well as she gave the mare a quick glance as she felt Centric walking up behind her. Her eyes tried to tell her that it's okay, but all Aqua could see was fear. Centric brought his hoof up and fondled the mares genitals. She gasped from his touch and her back legs began to shift as he played with her, getting her wet and waiting for his cock to harden. It didn't take long and he didn't care if she was ready or not. He positioned himself over her and put the head of his phallus to her moist entrance. Aqua turned away unable to watch this as she heard the mare begin to cry. 

"I didn't give you permission to look away, now did I!" He shouted at the mare. "Turn around and watch!" Aqua felt her anger raising but did as ordered, but hesitantly. Satisfied, Centric started to slide into the young mare slowly at first but once he got to the medial ring halfway down his cock, he pulled back and then began thrusting faster into her, each thrust earning a squeak from the mare as she just lied there and took it, trying to squeeze and bite into the bed sheets as each thrust pushed her against the bed. She couldn't be heard crying anymore, but Aqua saw the tears on her face, with her eyes screwed up tight. Each thrust brought Centric more and more pleasure, watching as his rod entered the petite mare. Her pussy juices covering his cock as he thrust out and then back inward, watching his dick impale her was a treat, as were the sounds of her squeaks and moans. Then he looked towards Aqua, the mare he hoof picked to be his next broodmare, whom he ripped her freedom away from and the most beautiful mare he'd ever laid eyes on. She was his to do with as he pleased, just like this tramp underneath him. He remembered the night he first laid eyes on her. 

- - - - - -

Violet had told him that she was a pretty filly, but he never imagined she'd be this cute. Her hair was tied back into a pair of pigtails, she wore a cute little pink dress that matched her mane, and she was just entering her teenage years, entering that new stage in a young mares life where she'd learn all about the difficulties of growing into a mare's body, and despite what the dress was hiding, he noticed it. Violet had gained their parents' trust, speaking kindly, telling them all of the opportunity this presented for their daughter and, with Crisp's help, pleading that she goes to see Lord Centric. The parents had allowed the purple mare to take their daughter, alone for this was one of the most trusted and generous ponies in Canterlot, it was a honor to be invited to his home and very few ponies get the privilege. Once they had arrived she was so sweet to him; Quiet at first, but her excitement couldn't be hidden for long. As she eventually got to cut his mane to show him her talent, she talked non stop about the school she wanted to go to, how hard she worked at the hair-saloon and what it meant to her to become a professional stylist. After she was done, he looked at his mane and realised her potential and told her that if she was willing, he'd pay for her tuition to attend the school. He's never seen a filly jump so high or cheer at such a high pitch before and laughed at her excitment.

There would be a few catches though. She'd have to quit her current job, which was fine with her since she'd no longer need the money, and she'd have to come to live in his mansion until her studies were complete, since it was much too far for her to commute to and from Canterlot. She readily accepted this, thanking Lord Centric again and again as they both ate dinner together. After the meal, Violet Daffodil returned and Crisp looked at her expecting that it was time to leave, she couldn't wait to tell her mum and dad the good news! But then Centric brought her attention back to himself once more. That's when Violet silently locked the door. 

He told her, that if she wants everything that they had agreed upon to happen, she has to give him something special. Naturally she was confused but told him yes, that he could have anything. That's when he told her. If she wanted to become professional stylist and live her dream, she'd have to give him her virginity. Her eyes widened at such a request. She'd been learning about sex education at school but this was something she wasn't supposed to do with just anypony, but with a special somepony after they get married. At first, she laughed nervously thinking it was a joke, but became afraid the second she realised she was the only one laughing. She looked from Violet to Centric, neither of them even showing a trace of humour. Crisp then asked if there was something else she could give him, anything else, trying to bargain with him. He then stood over her and told her that should she refuse this offer then she'd never be able to make it in Equestria as a stylist, he'd make sure she'd never work in the barber industry again, she'd never attend a collage as pristine as the one she hoped for and her special talents and dreams would all be for nought. At this, she started to cry. Centric turned to Violet and told her to get the filly out of his sight and walked away. Crisp then called out for him to wait and he stopped. Then in the silence of the room as she wiped her foreleg over eyes to clear away the tears... she agreed.

She knew it would hurt, but she only had to do this once and it would only be for a short time when she was old enough for him. Until then she'd be free to attend the barber's school, could live her dream and afterward giving him what he wants she could put all this behind her.

Suddenly she was lifted up and forced face down onto the table. Violet had reached over the table and was now stood in the middle of it, holding her forelegs down. She smiled as she used a free hoof to lift the skirt of the dress up and over her back. Crisp started the scream in panic and then pain as the mare grabbed her tail and pulled it towards her, lifting her rump up higher while the other hoof pinned her forelegs down. She realised that they wern't going to wait, that they were going to do this right now and violate her on the dining room table! She pleaded for them not to do this, to wait until she was older but Violet shouted at her to stop talking, showing a vicious side that the filly had never seen before. Lord Centric then planted his hooves either side of her head and pressed himself against her. She struggled against the full-grown mare and stallion and continued to beg and plead for them not to do this as the tears flowed down her face. The next sound that came out of her mouth was a high pitched scream as Lord Centric finally robbed her of her virginity.

- - - - - 

As this memory replayed in his head, he had begun thrusting harder into the mare with ruthless aggression. The mare underneath him screamed loudly. 

"AHH! STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO DEEP! PLEASE! OWWW! MY LORD AHH! AH-AH! PLEASE, IT- AH, IT HURTS!" 

"SHUT UP!" He shouted back. "Noisy slut!" He continued to pound into her and didn't stop. His medial ring popping in and out as he thrust harder and harder, going as deep as he could, even pulling her tail back onto him and lifting her up by it to get a better angle. He'd violated her many times before, but he'd never been this deep before, she was always too tight. She buried her face into the blankets shrieking and crying. Aqua couldn't bare to just stand there anymore. She couldn't just watch and do nothing! She made a move forward and Centric saw this, expecting her to do something stupid like attack him. Instead, she moved around, onto the bed and took hold of the poor young mare's hoof. Crisp pulled her head out of the blanket in terror remembering that first night, seeing Violet before her laughing as she screamed, but then heard Aqua's voice.

"Look at me," The blue mare said, "You're going to be alright, I'm here for you. Just squeeze my hoof as hard as you can."

Crisp's vision cleared and she saw before her, her eyes were full of sorrow. Aqua wiped the yellow and pink dishevelled mane out of Crisp Edge's face. She realised that the unicorn mare was trying to comfort her and felt something else in her heart other than the pain. She nodded and gripped Aqua's hoof tight, squeezing it tighter with each painful thrust into her marehood. It hurt Aqua a lot, but she had felt much worse from Centric and kept encouraging Crisp, telling her to hold on to her and not to look away, focus only on her. 

Lord Centric really enjoyed the scene playing out before him. His precious, even in a situation like this was still helping others. Oh, how he loved her for that. At this point he thrust himself as deep as he could go, her flanks now slapping against his hips as he pounded into her pussy, again and again, the sounds of their hips colliding filling the room. 

"It's almost over." Aqua kept telling the earth pony mare. She continued to squeeze Aqua's hoof until finally, Lord Centric gritted his teeth and with several more hard thrusts, climaxed inside the young mares cunt, filled her up to the brim and then pulled out letting loose the last few spurts shoot out across her back. Crisp buried her head into the bed again, letting out more tears. The stallion then used the mare's tail to wipe his cock clean and then moved to the dresser by the bed. The young mare lifted her head up, eyes still filled with tears, and silently thanked Aqua for being there for her, then slowly looked behind her to where she had just been raped again and then buried her face back in the sheets, weeping silently. 

"What did I tell you?" Lord Centric began to say. Aqua thought that he was angry because she moved but he was smiling. "I said before that one of my favourite things about you is your caring nature. You could have tried to stop me, threatened to ruin yourself, but instead, you went straight to helping this slut that you've only known for a few hours. Well, don't worry precious, maybe she can join both of us tonight after dinner? Would you like that?" 

Crisp gave a cry into the bed and sobbed. Aqua looked up at him.

"Please, can't you see she's had enough." Her heart was breaking for the poor mare as she stroked her mane.  

"Hmph, I might have gone rougher on her than normal tonight, but that was only because of you. You drive me wild!" He walked towards the door as Aqua still comforted the sobbing mare. 

Just how long has she been forced to endure all this? Aqua wondered. Centric opened the door after he cleaned himself up and masked the smell of his recent activity with cologne. 

"Let's go. Our dinner guests are going to be here any minute. And you..." Crisp flinched, realising he was talking to her. "Make sure this room is spotless before the end of the night. I don't want to come back to see any of your patheticness staining my lavish bed. Understood?" The mare slowly lived her head up but didn't turn to face him.

"Y-yes... M-m-my Lord. I-I'll get... get it all cleaned." Her voice cracked heavily as she spoke and then slowly she pulled her hooves away from Aqua's grip, almost not wanting to let go. She was grateful for what the mare had done for her. 

"Good. Coming, precious?" Instantly his demeanour changed and he was putting on his nice guy act again. Aqua wanted to shoot him an angry glare and lash out at him for his insensitivity but realised at that point that it would be pointless. This stallion was a monster who relished in the suffering of others. She now knew that she couldn't stay here and couldn't allow this to continue. 

She had to find a way to bring him down.
> The Dinner Party
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The large dining room was full of ponies, as they all stood around and talked to each other. Conversations would range from the current state of affairs in Canterlot, to the political system and, for the most part, talking about how they themselves have benefited from Lord Centric's generosity over the years. A topic a certain blue mare overheard a lot with disgust. Aqua watched on from the head table as the ponies mingled together. She was sat the only long table in the hall with all the other VIP's of the party, the guests had smaller circular tables, each covered in a white cloth and with four cushioned stools surrounding them. 

Ponies time and again came over to congratulate Lord Centric on his new fiancé, saying how beautiful and lucky she was to be marrying such a gentlecolt. Aqua put on a false smile and thanked all the ponies graciously; as per Centric's instructions before they had arrived. Two long tables stretched out against the back wall where all the guests had access to all manner of foods from Exotic oats, Applousian Apples, the mushed potatoes Aqua herself had peeled, fruits, salads and so much more. She looked down at her own meal that she hadn't touched yet. How could she eat after what had just happened? The blue unicorn desperately wanted to leave and check up on Crisp Edge, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. 

Lord Centric sat on Aqua Star's right, sitting at the middle of the table, the head of the grand room. Sandy Shore sat on his right and she was happily eating her food, her table manners were really good for such a little filly. Aqua noted that she once spilt a little bit of her soup down her mussel and her father helped to clean it up. She giggled as he said something to her quietly, cleaning her up like any normal father would. In all the time the unicorn had been trapped here, she never once saw the stallion raise his voice to the filly, or have a cross word with her. He seemed so kind and nurturing towards her. Why? 

A waitress then passed by Aqua and gave her a fancy wine glass, the blue mare tried to shake her head, saying no she couldn't drink, but the waitress stated that the drink was from Hooves, then walked on to serve the other guests. A drink from Hooves to Aqua? This must be that special wine that she could drink with no ill effects on her baby. She took a slip and the pleasant taste of grapes danced on her tongue. She liked this drink but she still wouldn't have it too often. Drinks like this should be used for a celebration. She then wondered to herself. What was this party in aid of, surely it wasn't just for Centric to boost about his latest mare whom know one knew was being blackmailed into all this?

Suddenly Centric rose from his seat, banging on a wine glass to gain the attention of every pony. 

"My dear friends, partners, associates and benefactors. Today marks a great occasion as Canterlot again takes another step forward into the realm of a perfect Utopia." A murmur of 'here here's, arose from the gathering of ponies followed by a few short, quiet clops of hooves on the floor in appreciation. "For today, I will be announcing a brand new business venture, opening up opportunities to the ponies that need it. As you may know, there's nothing I love more than children. Be they my own, or others who need a true father figure to look up to." He gave Aqua a glance and a smile, which she forcefully returned before looking away, a few mares ahh'd from the crowd, thinking he was being sweet and her shy. "Fillies and Gentlecolts, with that, please allow me to introduce to you, the starting home of Canterlot's future... The Lady Star Orphanarium."

A banner dropped down behind him with a picture of a small mansion on it. It looked to be two floors tall, had white walls with purple trim and looked really expensive. It even had a front porch with fillies and colts drawn on there, looking to be happy and smiling, surrounding a mare with an orange mane and a magenta coat. Aqua's eyes opened with surprise, staring up at Lord Centric. He was opening an Orphanarium?... and he was naming it after her? 

"I was so moved with Miss Star's kindness and selfless nature," He continued "That when I first thought about this, I was unsure if I was the right pony for the job. So I went out and got the most trusted and caring mare in all the city, and with Miss Daffodil here as Headmare," He announced gesturing to the mare at the end of the table. "I'm positive that the next generation of ponies will always have a place in the future. Their future. And with this here home," He indicated to the picture. "It will no longer matter where you got your start, from whom you came, or even what your dreams are. Here you can be you and you'll always find the loving care you deserve, at The Lady Star Orphanarium." 

Ponies stomped in applause at this. All of them clearly impressed by this announcement. Lord Centric then motioned for the magenta pegasus mare to join him by his side. She did so without hesitation and seemed to carry herself with a self-important look, looking down her nose at the other ponies sitting at the same table as her. Her eyes flashed towards Aqua for a moment and she got a feeling she'd seen this mare before. The pegasus bowed her head to Lord Centric and then turned to the crowd. This mare seemed to be in her later middle ages. Aqua could see that the mare was hiding a few wrinkles under her makeup. 

"Thank you, Lord Centric." She spoke with quite a hooty accent. She was clearly one of those ponies that believed themselves above others. It was visible in both the way she talked and the way she acted, but this was the common attitude of most of the Canterlot Elite ponies. "Soon this home to unfortunate fillies and colts will be full with the faces of our future. Each small smile, every tiny dream, all will be nurtured and cared for under my watchful eye." The mare then lifted a hoof and placed it around Sandy Shore's neck. The little filly smiled up at the mare above her who smiled back down at her, then she raised her hoof away from the filly to her chest before continuing. "I, Miss Daffodil, Headmare and protector of these young minds, will make sure that no longer will poor souls ever have to miss another meal or sleep in a rank gutter again and you can count on me to do the right thing, for the future."

More applause came for the mare as all the guests stomped there hooves, be it on the floor, or together from there seated positions at the tables. The mare, Miss Daffodil looked at Aqua out the corner of her eye and then returned to her seat. Aqua knew she recognised that mare from before, but couldn't remember where from or when. Centric then called for silence. 

"A toast!" He said raising a glass of wine. Everypony in the hall following suit. "To The Lady Star Orphanarium and future of our fair city!" Everypony chanted back, and then took a drink of wine. 

Aqua started down at the other end of the table at Violet Daffodil. Violet caught her eye and gave her a smirk. Aqua then remembered. It was the first day she arrived. This mare had stormed out the mansion angryly and then gave her the same smirk before shunting into her and flying off. What was this mare's problem with her, and why did she look at her like that? Like a predator spotting it's prey. It gave her chills.     

"Now please everypony," Centric called out to the crowd. "Enjoy your meals, and lets have a great night!"    

Applause again rang out and orchestral music began to play from a small band as they came into the room. Ponies began to talk about the big news, all excited and intregued. Aqua couldn't believe that he was actually making an orphanage. That was surprisingly kind of him, but then Aqua supposed he had an ulterior motive. Maybe it was all about the publicity, or the money? Maybe this was to get him into a higher position of power with the government... But who was there above him other than the princesses? He was already one of the most powerful ponies in Equestria. 

She took a sip of her wine again. The rest of the night, all anypony talked about was the orphanage. How it'll be good for the community, the social status, for Canterlot. Some spoke like this would be a little prison for the less important until they could be of use for society or just the elite in general. Like these foals would be raised to be... Aqua looked at all the waitress's walking around, thought about Hooves, the butler, the cleaners she'd seen around the mansion, the cook, the gardener. Those who aren't the elite, work for the elite. Was this the plan? The rich get richer and the poor became the next generation of servants? Aqua finished her glass of grape wine and then stood up to leave. 

She couldn't stand this any longer, she politly asked Lord Centric his permission to leave and 'Powder her nose' (though she really wanted to call him out on this here and now). He understood what she meant and let her leave, telling her that when she was done to wait for him in the drawing room. She nodded, grateful she didn't have to return to that dining hall and decided that she would quickly go find Crisp Edge. 

Aqua left the dining room and was trotting quickly down the hallway in hopes that the young stylist wouldn't have gone yet. She didn't know how long until Lord Centric would be in the drawing room but knew that it would be a bad idea to keep him waiting for her. Since there were so many guests at the dinner party she figured there wouldn't be too big a rush for her to get back to Centric, but she wanted to check on her friend as quick as possible. As Aqua was going down the hall, she saw the shadows of two stallions walking towards her from the end of the hall. She then remembered that the ring on her horn told Centric and his goons where she always was and that she wasn't heading to the bathroom. Cursing herself for forgetting, she ducked into a broom closet next to her, not wanting them to find and escort her around. As they got closer, she could hear them talking.

"Can ya believe such a thing?" One of them said with a strong Manehatten accent.   

"I know, right? Haha!" Said the other stallion, this one had a higher raspier voice. "Gotta love how gullible some ponies can be." 

"Well, 'urry up would ya? Dinners almost over. I wanna get me some o' dat free grub before the main course tonight. If ya catch my drift." Both stallions laughed as they walked on.

They both walked past her and she could just make them out through the crack in the door. One was a tall faded blue pony with a long brown mane that reached the back of his neck, his cutie mark was a pair of cherry's bust one of them looked like it had burst. The other was an averagely sized stallion that had a brown coat and grey mane that was tied back into a long single ponytail, He wore a black plaid flat cap and his cutie mark was a snake. The two continued down the hall and disappeared out of site. She'd seen many of Centric's goons lurking about these halls before, wondering about or following her, but she had never seen those two before. The mare waited for them to go out of sight before she slowly came out of the closet. She watched down the hall at the two where they had disappeared, making sure they were gone. What were they talking about?

The door snapped shut behind her. Aqua spun around with a startled yelp.

"Miss Star, is something the matter?" It was Centric's lawyer. Irwin D. Terney. He was still in his suit with the black-rimmed spectacles. The shorter stallion pushed his glasses closer up to his eyes looking at her suspiciously. 

"No," She responded, regaining her composure. "Why would it be?" 

"Well, you just came out of a broom closet. Any pony would have thought you were... watching, somepony."

"Well, any pony would have thought that you were sneaking up on somepony!" Aqua retorted looking down on the stallion. He wasn't much shorter than her, only by a hoof but he clearly didn't like being looked down upon. He turned in a huff and walked past her. He muttered something under his breath before looking back to the mare and giving her a warning. 

"Do watch yourself, Miss Star, and don't go making a habit of spying on others. Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you, would we?" He then walked off finally leaving her alone. She already disliked that stallion, but she felt like his warning was serious. With that, she backed away and then ran down the hall. She had wasted enough time as it was.

-------

Aqua walked towards the drawing room at a slow pace. She had reached the bedroom where she thought Crisp Edge would still be, but the room was completely deserted. The bedsheets had been cleaned or replaced, any messes had been tidied up and all of Crisp's stylist equipment was gone. She wouldn't be back tonight and Aqua told the young mare not to come to redo her mane in the morning, so she wasn't sure when she'd next see the young mare. 

As Aqua made it to the drawing room, she heard the sound of laughter coming from inside. She opened the door and saw Sandy Shore sitting on the sofa in her white and pink pyjamas playing with the teddy bear that was being held by the stallion beside her. It was the tall faded blue earth pony with the brown mane that Aqua had seen before. He was sitting right up against the little filly as he made the bear talk to her. At first glance, anypony would think he was just being playful, but the blue unicorn saw the stallion was constantly leaning in close to the filly, his muzzle inappropriately close to her mane. He was continuously brushing against her, either with his hips against hers or with his free hoof that kept snaking around her lower back, pulling her closer onto him before she laughed and pushed against him, like a playful tug of war. If Sandy was a more mature filly she would have realised that the stallions behaviour wasn't decent and told him to stop. But to her young mind, it was all just a game. Aqua quickly made a play for the filly's attention. 

"Hey, Sandy." She called out loudly and cheerfully. The yellow filly looked up seeing Aqua. 

"Mommy!"

She jumped down off the sofa away from the stallion and ran up to the mare smiling, giving her a hug. The stallions joyful grin instantly turned to an annoyed expression. He and Aqua shared a glance with each other that she hoped delivered the message clearly for him to 'Stay away from her!' He then tossed the bear to the floor, got up and started towards the door leading to the next room. Aqua threw a look of disgust at the stallion as he walked away. 

"Hi, Mommy! Did you enjoy the dinner party? I know that was you're first. Why did you leave? Is everything okay? You were gone a while. Did you see Daddy's new building home? He says they'll be lots of foals there! Do you think they'll be friends with me?" Sandy always loved to ask questions, usually not giving any pony a chance to answer them. Aqua laughed at her flood of questions, though she still couldn't get used to Sandy calling her Mommy.

After hearing that Aqua was going to be marrying her dad, Sandy asked as soon as she could if she could start calling her Mommy. Aqua had originally said that perhaps it wasn't the best idea yet, but this only seemed to upset to the filly as she instantly became quiet and looked away. Aqua had never seen her like this and couldn't stand to see the filly so upset. The mare relented almost immediately, saying that if Sandy really wanted to, she could call her Mommy; Only if it would make her happy. Of course, the instant reaction was the sweet filly was bouncing around the house and running to every pony she saw that Aqua was her new mom, much to the mare's chagrin. It wasn't long until the entire mansion and those outside of it knew of Lord Centric's new fiancé. 

"Yes, I'm fine," Aqua responded. "The dinner was lovely and I was very surprised to hear about the Orphanage. Also, any pony would be lucky to have such a wonderful pony as you to call their friend." Sandy beamed brightly at that, she never really got a chance to meet other fillies and colts her own age except when she was sick in the hospital. She was homeschooled so she never got out much. At that moment the door opened and Lord Centric entered the room, followed by the mare Aqua recognised as Miss Daffodil and the brown stallion with the flat cap. Centric looked over to Aqua and saw her with his daughter. 

"Ahh, there's my favourite girls." He said walking towards them. "You certainly took your time dear. Didn't get lost I hope." He said with a smile. Aqua wasn't sure if he was upset or not, he hid it well if he was.  

"No, no my Lord, I was just... looking for somepony." She said in a tone that she hoped would translate into a way he'd understand whom she was looking for. He simply smiled and nodded. 

"It's understandable. But I wouldn't worry for now. You can speak to her tomorrow if you like? I can show you where she's staying. But for now, there's business to discuss," He then looked down at his daughter, "And a certain filly who's up after her bedtime." 

"Ahh, Daddy. Can't I stay up a little longer? I wanna hear more about the foal's home."

Her father laughed and patted her on the head. 

"I'll tell you all about it in the morning, princess. But growing fillies need their rest." With that, Centric picked up her teddy bear and placed in on her back. "Now you make sure that you both get a full nights sleep, okay?"

"Okay then." She said, defeated, then leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, Daddy!" She then turned around and did the same to Aqua. "Goodnight, Mommy!" And then she walked out the door. Centric followed and watched her leave, smiling as he closed the door. And then locked it. 

Aqua realised then that she was being stared at by the other three ponies in the room. The mare eyed her with a look of contempt while the other two stallions seemed to be grinning. 

"W-what's going on?" Aqua asked, immediately worried. Why had Centric locked the door? What was this all about?

"My Precious. My dear sweet Precious. I just wanted my business associates here to get to know you better." Aqua didn't like his tone or choice of words. She kept sideways on, keeping an eye on both sets of ponies. 

"Don' give us that look, love," Said the brown stallion with the black plaid flat cap. "We only wanna get t' know the mare that tamed dis here stallion. Ya gotta be mighty special to do that and, just from looking at ya... I can tell yer something else." His Manehatten accent was making her cringe with each syllable. 

The stallions black flat cap then levitated away, revealing a horn underneath it. He then cast a spell that bounced against the door making it glow blue and then spread across all the walls and celling before fading away. 

"Don' chu worry 'bout that, doll. Just a sound dampening spell to make it more private in 'ere." 

Centric then walked over to the sofa and sat down. 

"You see, we had a business agreement." Centric stated, "I decided that I wanted to name the orphanage after you. To show you my love, and what you mean to me. However, Violet here will be in charge of running it and she asked that in exchange for the name branding, I'd have to give her something in a show of good faith and our future as buisness partners." 

"Something? L-like what?" Aqua said, fearing she already knew the answer. Just then she bumped into the wall, the two stallions either side of her closing in like wolves on a rabbit with hunger in their eyes. 

"You, my dear." Aqua's heart sank in her chest "For one night only... They get you to themselves." 

The tallest blue stallion reached out to grab Aqua but she slapped his hoof away and pushed past him, going to the centre of the room. The pegasus mare watched on without a word, as did Centric. Aqua looked scared and wasn't sure what to do. She looked to Centric, begging. 

"You can't do this! Please, I don't even want the stupid orphanage named after me! Name it after her!!" Centric looked at the mare expressionless.

"My decision is final," Centric said. "However, you can flee them if you wish. Key is in the lock still so you could open it, run out that door and hide somewhere. There will be no consequences tonight if you run, so long as you remain in the mansion, of course. These boys like their games. But I am curious, how you plan to run away... when you can't run?"  

The unicorn stallion's magic suddenly swirled up through the carpet and then wrapped around her hooves like long coils of rope, holding her hooves against the floor and preventing her from moving an inch. 

"Get off! Let me go!" She shouted trying her best to pull her hooves free from the unicorns magical grip. The stallion smiled as the blue one walked towards her and got close to her backside, reaching under her dress and caressing her flanks. She shouted again and pulled harder, wriggling her body away from his touch, but it was no use. If only she could have used her own magic she could get away, but the ring on her head kept her magic blocked. 

"Remember," Centric said addressing Violet Daffodil. "You are not to harm the baby or leave any physical wounds on her. Understood? Use her in any other way that pleases you." The mare nodded yet still remained unmoved. The stallions on the other hoof were all over Aqua who continued to struggle against them, begging them to leave her alone. The brown stallion touched a hoof to her face. 

"You got a pretty mouth, anypony ever tell ya that?" Aqua fixed the stallion with a cold hard glare. "Ahhh, don' look at me like that. In fact, how 'bout I change your view for ya?" The stallion then used his magic to spread her front legs apart, dragging them against the carpet and lowering her head down closer to the floor, adding a whole lot of pressure to her legs. Aqua voiced her discomfort to the stallion, but he didn't care. He just took a step forward and shoved his hardening cock to her muzzle. It wasn't very big but he wasn't fully erect yet either. The smell of the stallion was strong, assaulting her nostrils and she tried not to breathe it in, but he was making it difficult. "Come on doll, open up for Chollo, won't cha?" She kept her mouth shut, turning her head away. The stallion didn't like that but smirked none the less. "Don' be shy. Here, just relax and lemme help ya." 

Aqua felt his magic surround her muzzle and then slow pull it open. She panicked and tried to scream before he shoved his cock into her mouth, sliding himself in along her tongue. He tasted foul and she desperately wanted to move, but she was being held in place as he went deeper towards her throat. 

"There ya go, babe. Not so bad, is it?" She couldn't respond beyond her inaudible yells. She moved her tongue constantly, trying to avoid him, but that just made it more pleasurable for him. "Damn, this girl's really goin' to town!" He said with a laugh, then used his magic to close her mouth down, forcing her to wrap her lips around him as he began to thrust in and out of her. 

The other stallion was still stood at her plot, rubbing her flanks and cutiemarks tenderly, and since she was forced to bend forwards her butt was high in the air, showing off her most intimate area to the blue earth pony. She tried to use her tail to cover herself up or even swat him away, but he just grabbed it and pulled it aside roughly. He then started to move his rubbing hoof further back and began fondling her, grabbing her pussy and rotating his hoof around, getting her nice and wet for himself, even trying to stick the tip of his hoof inside her, but it just wouldn't go in. She tried to yell back from the pain as he tried to force his hoof inside her, but the dick in her mouth prevented her from making more than a muffled panicked yell. The stallion forced his hoof against her harder, twisting it but it wouldn't go in. There was no way it was happening tonight. She needed to be loosened up a lot more. The idea excited him that if he could have this mare alone, he'd stick his entire foreleg inside her, no matter the consequences. This thought got him rock hard and he took his now wet hoof and used her pussy juices to slather his cock up, making it nice and slippery. He rubbed his stallionhood against her genitals, making her realise how big he was and then, instead of pushing against her vagina, he raised himself higher and stuck it her asshole, and pushed himself deep inside. She screamed around the dick in her mouth which drove the brown stallion wild and almost had him cumming then and there, but he gritted his teeth, held back and calmed down a little, before he pushed himself deeper and passed through into her throat, not moving while Aqua gagged and flailed as much as she could, still held by the magic around her hooves and muzzle, preventing her from even biting down. 

The blue stallion was mounting her hard now, she was tight at first but thrust over thrust loosened her up and her own juices enabled the stallion to slide in and out smoothly. Aqua herself was in a lot of pain. She'd had anal forced on her before by Centric and his toys in the basement, but this stallion was much rougher and while he may not be as long as Centric himself, he was defiantly thicker and her asshole wasn't used to such girth. The stallion in her throat wasn't any gentler. His thrusts choked her and her gag reflex struggled to not make her throw up. She struggled to breathe around it, only getting to take small breaths of air in through her nose as he pulled out of her throat far enough before going back in. She could feel the tears beginning to come out her eyes as they brutally spit roasted her, a sensation she had never felt before and prayed to Celestia for it to end quickly.      

The pair relentlessly pulled in and out of her as she fought for breath and whined from the pain, each getting close to a climax. The unicorn stallion then finally pulled out of her mouth giving Aqua a change to breathe properly, coughing from the rough treatment she had endured. The stallion behind her stopped, just beyond his medial ring inside the mare, leaving her feeling full. The two stallions without a word nodded to each other and while Aqua was still coughing, she felt herself being lifted up by the stallion behind her, wrapping his hooves around her barrel above her baby bulge and lifting her up while he still penetrated her. It made the made wince as the rod inside her moved while he adjusted her to a vertical position, her hind legs now standing on the tips of her hooves as the stallion held her up. The brown unicorn's magic held her front hooves over her head preventing her from lashing out, although it had become quite clear that her strength had petered out and she now only struggled to regain her breath. 

At that moment, she felt the belt of her dress being unfastened from around her midsection by the stallion, no longer holding her tight, letting her full weight force herself down onto the stallions cock, only being held up straight by the unicorns magic. The pressure inside her hurt, and it felt like her insides were shifting upwards as she was impaled further on him. Both her rear hooves were now flat on the ground, enabling the stallion to fully remove her belt, toss it to the floor and then pull roughly on her dress, lifting it over her head and tossing it onto the sofa. 

Centric, who had watched the whole thing without a word or an emotion stood up from the sofa, picking up Aqua's dress and then the belt. He took them both with him as he, without a word, left the room. Aqua's horror intensified as she realised that she was now going to be left alone with these strangers as they gang-raped her. She looked to the door, and somehow through her blurred eyes, she noticed that he didn't relock the door as he left. If she could break free of the unicorns magic, she'd have a chance to get free. That thought was ripped from her mind instantly as she felt the levitation magic grip her hind legs, lift them up off the floor and then spread her apart, forcing gravity to pull her down further on the blue stallion penis. The other stallion then walked between her legs, looking up at the mare.   

"Ya suck a good dick, doll," He said, with an arrogant taunt. "But I'm curious. How good are you are taking two stallions down there at once?" He looked down to her pussy as she shook her head. 

"Please, don't! Just let me go." She pleaded. The stallion smirked as he pushed he snout forward and took a quick lick on her slick marehood. His tongue felt rough against her and she cringed as this stranger started eating her out. The pain in her ass from the stallion behind her, that remained unmoving, was starting to give way to an unwanted pleasure. She moaned for him to stop but he just kept going until he had his fill. She was moaning more now, her leg twitching and head rolling backwards as felt her muscles tighten more in her nethers. The stallion behind her reached moved his hooves, about, playing with her nipples and rubbing them hard. 

"You like having two stallions giving you so much attention, don't you?" The Blue stallion whispered in her ear, giving it a quick bite. Aqua was about to cum from these stallions' attention when suddenly the unicorn between her legs pulled back with one last lick on her clit sending shivers up her body. He took a step away, getting close to her face. Licking his lips and getting close to Aqua's face as the other stallion continued to whisper to her. "How about next time, we invite somepony else to join us? Maybe you can convince Sandy, and we can get a little mother-daughter action going!" He chuckled darkly to himself. 

Hearing this stallion say that caused Aqua to snap. In a primal rage, she leaned forward and bit into the brown unicorn's horn as hard as she could. The stallion screamed as his magic imploded, causing the mare to fall, full weight, with the stallion behind still inside her but not ready for the sudden weight shift. They fell to the floor, bringing the stallion who's horn she was still biting into to twist and fall with her, hitting his head on the floor hard, as Aqua landed on her hooves. The stallion behind her fell onto her back causing him to grunt, and stumble a step regaining his balance, but not before the mare raised up a hind leg up and bucked him in his testicles. The stallion screamed and collapsed, pulling himself out of her as he fell. The sensation of the stallions cock pulling out of her at a twisted angle hurt the mare enough to grit her teeth from the pain, but the adrenaline had kicked in and she didn't feel it as much as she would have normally. She stomped on the unicorn stallion as she ran past him, heading for the door. 

All she had to do was get out the room, she'd actually get away. The unicorn grasped the door handle but suddenly was ripped away from it as somepony grabbed her mane, twisted her around and hit her on the top of the head hard causing everything to go dizzy. The room span as Aqua laid on the floor, struggling to get back up. She held a hoof to her head as her vision began to focus. She looked up and saw the pegasus mare glaring down at her. 

"Don't think you can get away that easy you little bitch!" Violet said. She was standing over a lampshade that was now broken, lying on the floor at her hooves. "I was promised a whole night with you and while I wasn't allowed to leave any visible damage to your 'pretty' little face. Ego said nothing about leaving non visible damage."

The mare then leaned down and pulled on the mare's mane, lifting her head off the floor and she yelled in pain. 

"And I'm so grateful you've got so much hair to cover up what I'm going to do to you." With that she slammed Aqua's head against the hard floor, making her see bright spots. She then felt herself being rolled over onto her back as a blurred image of the pegasus' marehood dropped down hard on her face, crushing her muzzle and making Aqua scream. "Yes, that's right, scream for me. Scream for your Mistress, you little slut! That's all you are! A walking cock sock that pops out foals! You slut! You fucking love this don't you!" 

Violet kept grind herself against Aqua's face while she tried to resist it, constantly being called degrading things which seemed to turn the twisted mare on. Aqua couldn't breathe. Her air supply was completely cut off, forcing her to thrash weakly against the older mare. She grinded roughly against the blue mare until Aqua's mouth opened from the force and then ground even harder, rubbing her pussy against the unicorns teeth, moaning in pleasure. 

"Oh yes! Ooh, you slut! Use that tongue of yours too! Get me off quickly if you want some more air." She laughed as Aqua trashed desperately trying to get the mare off of her but she was too weak and dizzy. Her maw was pulling so wide that she feared the crazy mare was going to dislocate her jaw. Seeing no other option and no other way out, she brought her tongue up and started to lick the pegasus' marehood, it tasted foul to her but she kept moving her tongue quickly, prodding and basting her in every way she could think of. Aqua had never been with another mare before and didn't know exactly what to do. She just lapped away, trying to listen to the mare's moans over her constant degrading remarks. 

"Yes, that's it. Ohh, good slut! Fuck me with that tongue, oooh, you love pussy don't you!" The mare was getting to her limit, grinding herself even harder against the unicorn's face. The two stallions who had gotten back up, though the blue stallion was lying on the sofa clutching his aching balls, watched and laughed as Aqua weakly kicked and fought for air. Violet had the unicorn in a vice-like grip between her legs and wouldn't let go, not until she reached her peak. She did soon thanks to Aqua's desperate struggles and panicked screams sending vibrations through her pussy. She brought a hoof down to her clit and rubbed it furiously, squirting her cum into Aqua's mouth and then lifting herself up and then squirting some more of her sticky marecum onto her face and eyes.  

Aqua rolled over, coughing and heaving, spiting up the mare's juices. The unicorn mare stayed lying on the floor her face red from the rough grinding and lack of oxygen. The blood rushed to her head and she felt on the verge of collapse. She closed her eyes, letting the blackness overtake her; before another slap to the face brought her back. 

"We're not done with you yet, slut! Remember, we've got ALL night! Cholo, Popper." She said addressing the stallions. "Stop sitting around fuck this bitch till she can't walk ever again." 

With that, Aqua cried openly but no longer resisted as she was dragged over to the sofa and forced to sit on the brown stallions lap as he penetrated her cunt while the other stallion stood behind her and stuck his shaft up her ass again, neither showing any mercy as they pounded into her again and again, making her scream, moan and yell. Aqua was forced to cum against her will, time and again as they used her during the rest of the night. Each taking turns with her and trying different things including using the unicorn stallion's magic to create magical dildo's to penetrate her while they themselves caught their breath. When they were ready they'd go right back to her. Sometimes one on one, two on one, even one time on the floor, all three of them used her together, one stallion under her, the other on top, double penetrating her and the Pegasus mare using Aqua's horn as a dildo, grinding on it, and sticking the horn up her cunt as the stallions forced her to bounce in and out of her. Aqua couldn't move anymore and collapsed from exhaustion many times passing out and waking up seconds later as they hit her across the head, each time waking her up in a new position. Using her in every way possible. She had long ago given up and reached the end of her rope and just wished they would kill her, end her suffering. But they wouldn't do that. Lord Centric would never allow that. She even found herself wishing for him to come back, to save her from this. 

The last time Aqua blacked out, the blue stallion finished inside her, cumming more ropes of his jizz into her cunt and then dropped her belly first onto the sofa and then fell limp to the floor. 

"Oops," Popper said sarcastically. "Hope I didn't break anything."

"Ya better not of!" Chollo responded with a slight tinge of worry in his voice. "Centric will kill us all if we hurt the kid."

"It doesn't matter," The pegasus mare walked up to both stallions. "We've done what we came here to do. This slut's finished with so let's go." She nodded towards the door and all three of them left the room. 

"So, whadda ya think of Centric's new pet?" The unicorn stallion asked Violet. she smiled cruelly. 

"Weak; As I expected. After all that she's been through tonight and everything before it, she won't have the strength to go on anymore. This time tomorrow... she'll be out of our way for good."
