CH.2: Betrayal of the sisterly kind

It was early morning again…this time however Maple was the first to rise. She was quite earnest to rise before her older sister on account of one big reason…secrecy. The happenings of yesterday were still fresh in her young mind and just talking to someone made her that much eager to beat her sister out to the apple trees. Looking over her shoulder once to see if her sister was still asleep; which she was, she made haste to not keep Sasha waiting. Of course she had no idea whether or not the black pony would be waiting for her; after all, this hour wasn't made for just any pony. Keeping her ears alert she made sure her own hoof steps were so quiet not even her skilled ears could detect them.

"I wonder where she is," she asked aloud. Turning which way and that there was no sign of Sasha Star anywhere. Could this be just a ruse to get her out in the open and embarrass her? Was she that gullible…yes…she sighed inwardly. Hearing the crunch of a leaf she spun to see the black pony staring into her eyes with such vivid interest. Her heart pounded and a scream wanted to make its way up her throat but nothing came out.

"I heard you a mile away," Sasha teased, "quite an effort on your end to not be detected by big sis huh?" Sasha raised her hoof and closed Maple's stretched jaw. "I take it you took my words to thought then?"

"H-How do I know I can trust you? You haven't exactly been nice to my family and if it were your choice we wouldn't be allowed into the carnival-."

"Yes…I admit there is bad blood between your family and mine. I can assure you my intentions are pure and this is by no means a trap to lure you into a false state of security." Waiting to see the other pony relax she noted how she was still tense.

"You know this is a betrayal of all that sisters stand for right? A sister must never keep secrets from the other sister or their bonds forever be-."

"Yes I am well aware of the sister bond. Don't forget I have a sister too. To be honest though…what do those bonds really mean if the other sister holds out on the other? I mean if you think about it…has Abigail been truthful with you?"

"What are you implying? Are you saying…no…Abigail has no secrets I don't know," Maple said adamantly. Of course I wished I believed those words, she found herself thinking; I mean, sure she is my older sister and her word is my bond, but, lately she has buried herself in work leaving little time for us. Furrowing a brow she walked over to a tree and looked up at where a day ago she had stood up there while her sister was down below. Something in her sister's talk made her feel like something was wanting to be said…but nothing came out.

"There are some secrets that weren't meant to be shared Maple. I keep secrets from my own sister…to ensure a piece of me is kept to myself. You see…when you tell a secret to another person…a piece of you is revealed. Once all the secrets are told…what is left of you?" Sasha circled Maple and could tell she was beginning to doubt Abigail.

"Won't a piece of me be revealed…if I talk to you?" Maple lowered her eyes and didn't feel right looking into the older pony's eyes. Sasha was her sister's age and her build was so…attractive…there it was out in the open…er…ok so it was her secret. When she lifted her gaze she found Sasha before her with those brilliant green seductive eyes of hers. Her black mane fell before her eyes and her breath smelled of spring morning.

"Yes…but if it makes you feel any better…I shall reveal a secret of my own. It is only fair as I wouldn't want you being the only one revealed out in the open." Sasha waited a breath and in that time the indecisive barrier Maple had put up shattered. She was hoping this little circle of trust would open her up. Of course now she had to think of a secret that was convincing enough to match whatever Maple said.

"I like…girls…there I said it." Maple heaved a huge sigh; relief in her form as she was no longer looking down or feeling the weight of her secret on her. Finally she was free of denying who she really was. Looking for comfort in Sasha's eyes she instead saw…confusion. "Well…its your turn-."

"That is your…secret? I could've swore…nope…it does not matter. I suppose liking girls is natural…as you work with them and eat with them daily. The guys are usually off doing the manual labor and so we hardly see or interact with them. Still…why girls…if I might ask?"

Maple smiled and leaned in close to Sasha. "Isn't it obvious? The female body is so much…hotter than the guy's to look at. I mean have you seen a female pony walk away? Their ass swings about and draws you in and it instantly melts you to your knees. Their lips are forbidden and just a peck or even a nibble will send you into a heavy slumber with your eyes. Oh…and to bump into them from behind…gets my pussy wetter than a April Shower during work season."

Sasha reeled back suddenly from the closeness of Maple and tried to fight control over her facial features so she wasn't too startled. She didn't know why the closeness affected her the way it had or why the talk of girls got her body into a sweat. The only Certainty she could ascertain from this was Maple Smith was…different from her sister. Finding her focus she realized Maple was staring at her in curiosity. Shaking her head and working a grin on her face she trotted forward.

"A very descriptive feeling…for your own sex, I admit, it had me…convinced. I suppose I should tell you a secret in return. This must stay between us…not even your sister can know about it. I swear if you do tell-."

"Hey…I'm no secret spiller," Maple said with a frown. She hardly spilled secrets and since her friends usually worked different hours then her there were hardly any secrets to go around.

"Alright…I trust you. Truth be told…I spike the cider during the Carnival." She let that sink in and noted how the reveal sent Maple into a stupor. "Yes I know…why would Sasha Star of the famed Star family do such a thing? To be honest…the Carnival is boring. Everyone shows up and it is all lively talk of work or home and never once anything interesting. The games are humdrum and the cider itself doesn't do enough to kick up the pacing any. Everyone plays fair and the whole thing stinks. So…about last year I realized things had to change…or I would simply not show.

"It came to my attention that the cider was usually delivered the day before the Carnival. So, it gave me plenty of time to go through each one and add a special ingredient to it. I am sure you remember the events of the last Carnival right?"

"Yeah…I think I do. Half of it is a blur. I seem to recall lots of language that sounded like cursing and there was even some kissing…though I can't tell from who." Maple was still wrapping her head around this and then Sasha continued.

"Yes well I sat back and watched the action fly. You see the ingredient was something I made myself. It packs quite a punch in the cider and whoo baby…once it goes down the gullet all inner inhibitions are let loose. In fact…I saw your sister getting a little action-."

"Huh…what are you talking about?" Maple held her head as blurred images from the year before began to slowly surface. It was a blur for some time but now it was slowly revealing itself from another party.

"You wonder why Abigail, pure good natured sister of yours, tends to shy away from talk of girls? I will tell you why…it is because she was making out with one." This hit home and she watched Maple stumble into the tree and her legs collapsed from under her. Her eyes were shot open wide and her mouth hung open but no words came out.

Maple didn't want to hear this. No…this was her sister…she would never do such a thing. She thought she loved her. She wanted to be back in her hay listening to her sister's breathing and knowing that in a few hours she would be roused awake by her voice. Sasha had to be lying, yeah, she must've saw someone who was like her sister…that was it…

"It was your sister…if you have any doubts. I don't remember the name of the Pony…as I had some cider to drink as well. What I do remember though is they left the Carnival together, and so, I naturally followed them. I found them at the river and your sister was tasting her cider, if you get my drift. She even let the other pony get a taste of her. I would've told the Council but…once the cider's effect wore off Abigail would've learned her lesson and thus no need for my telling. Your sister does not want to go down that road again…so…she sticks with the rules and warnings of the Council to a T."

Maple felt tears push their way down her cheeks and her mouth suddenly became dry. It was the ultimate act of betrayal. "I-I wanted to be her first…I loved her!" It was too late as she put her hoof over her mouth. She had told a second secret and the shock on Sasha's face clearly made her sorry she ever came.

"You love your sister…in what way?" Sasha tilted her head and as the guilt ran clear on Maple's face she suddenly picked up on it. "Oh…this is so juicy. I mean, to not only know you like girls…but this…I can't pass up this-."

"Wait…you can't tell the Council! This was supposed to stay between us…and even then it isn't like I still love her. I mean…she kept this from me…how can I love someone like that?" Maple watched Sasha to see if she would believe her or leave to tell the Council. She couldn't live with the shame or separation that would come out of all this should it be revealed. To leave Ponyville…what would she do with her life then? She had little preparation for the outside world and there was no telling what might happen if she fell in with the wrong crowd? She sat on her haunches as her future seemed much closer then she dare look into.

Sasha hesitated. She didn't know what held her back…as she had spoken of the bad flood that ran in their families. Seeing Maple look so downcast caused her to have a change of heart…and a rush of feelings claimed her that her next actions were not even well thought out. Rushing to her she claimed her lips against hers and seized the startled pony by force. Her lips were rough against hers and she soon had her pinned up against the tree. They stood up on hind legs and her hooves were against her legs keeping her secure and within her control. She could read the puzzlement in her eyes and she continued using every ounce of her strength to keep her from fighting her.

Maple groaned in protest at first but found her defense slowly crumbling all around her. Those lips were so dominating…and she herself saw domination as sexually arousing. Their crotches grinded into one another and soon her tongue sought entry into Sasha's mouth. Making her way past her lips she tangled her tongue with hers fighting to stay on top while their saliva clashed in a taste of flavor unlike any she had tasted. Maple fed off her dominant opponent and felt bliss close in on her like a blanket during a cold night. No words were spoken except what their bodies said and right now it was pretty clear it was aroused.

Sasha tangled her tongue with Maple's and felt her eyelids grow heavy. They kissed under the falling leaves and a need to have her grew. Grabbing hold of her body she pulled her from the tree and the two rolled around with their crotches rubbing hungrily. Their wetness was like silk and boy was it fine. Sasha felt their clits rub together; chummy like friends reunited, and her coat was getting a sweaty shine as this much action was causing her to sweat heavily. Coming to a stop on top of her she bumped and grinded into Maple hearing her moans trapped in her mouth. Pulling up to allow her to breathe she panted heavily as the action below increased in pressure.

"I-I…wow…why?" Maple panted. She didn't understand why Sasha would proceed with such an act of sexual nature when clearly their families were…not the best of friends. Of course this was the most fun she had in a long time, so, she said little more as she felt her clit strike hard.

"My second secret…I wanted you. You had a way that you carried yourself that drew me in the moment we met. Unlike your sister you aren't afraid to speak your mind and your ass…it did all you said it would…er…I mean what other female pony's did that is."

Holding onto her she cupped her ass and watched the older pony close her eyes tight. "I'd say yours comes close in second…quite close to my own actually. It feels so…snug…have you been working out?" Maple flirted with a wink. Seeing the other pony blush she licked her face and felt her body grow hotter still. She had never experienced such a flare of feeling before and as she felt it surge again she nestled her head into her partner's neck. "Guh…I feel…wet…wetter then usual…ahhhh!"

Sasha knew what she was feeling as she too was reeling from the Orgasm. They came into each other and their crotches were quite sticky from the other's juices. When the orgasm died down she nibbled at her ear to let her know it was done. Pulling off her she tried to find her footing as the sexual act often left one drained. She saw Maple attempt to get up but fell down so her ass was in the air. A devious look overcame Sasha and looking around noticed they were the only two there. "Hey Maple…do you trust me?"

Maple found that an odd question…as they just had sex. Still she figured since Sasha Star was still here it was clearly a choice that declined all natural instincts normally she had. Ok so that made no sense. "Well…I suppose…why?"

Sasha needed no further invitation and approached her from behind. Kneeling down before her she slid her long tongue out and crept it along her crack. This caused the other pony to start but she placed a hoof down on her backside to keep further interruptions to a minimum. "How you doing?"

"That's a silly question to ask…seeing how your tongue is up in my rear end! What if someone saw this Sasha? Wouldn't it get both of us in trouble?" Maple felt the intrusion of the tongue continue upwards and she sank her head onto the grass; biting at it for safety.

"I have plenty of secrets to ensure nothing like that would happen. So relax…let all your tenseness flow out and away from you. Would you rather a complete stranger do this?" That shut her up and she continued licking her. Easing her cheeks apart she slid her tongue into her anally and tested her hole. It gradually grew accustomed to her length and she pushed forward with little hesitancy to ensure the pleasure coursed without delay. Leaning into her she let her tongue explore the part of her most tongues didn't go and when she was done she pulled out letting the hole stay open. She then went to wipe her tongue clean before proceeding further south.

Maple felt rather embarrassed to have a tongue in such a private place. Her cheeks were burning and her she hated to admit it, but, her body was too. She was turned on by this act and how far Sasha went to prove she was comfortable with her body. She didn't have to wait long for her tongue to penetrate her from behind once again. Her tongue was so sharp and long that she felt it test her tunnel so much…she felt ready to explode. She restrained herself as she let out a satisfied moan. "Ooh yeah…uhh…take me Sasha…"

Sasha kept up that and squeezed her cheeks as she had her face all up in her business. She pressed on letting her tongue test the depths of her pleasure and pulling out just as her walls began to close in. She kept at her body working it for all its worth until she knew the girl was ready to blow again. She could sense the trembling and her panting became hoarse as the strong smell coming her way drew her head back. She squirted and she caught it full in the face letting some fall down her waiting mouth. Her juices ran down her leg and some coated the grassy floor. Sasha smiled and patted her ass as their pleasure had escalated greatly. "Well done Maple…well done."

Standing not too far away Abigail Smith stared in aghast horror at what she witnessed. Her sister had her backside in the air and Sasha was just behind her with a face full of…her sister. Her heart was breaking into many pieces and her voice was caught deep down in her hurt. This was the ultimate act of betrayal and she had no idea how to proceed.

Authors note: I hope that was satisfactory enough. Clearly these sisters have a lot to work out before they become the lovers destined to be. Sasha has told of Abigail's Carnival fun and now Abigail has witnessed Maple having some fun of her own. What will these two actions do to the sisters and will it be enough to break them apart for good? Stay tuned for Chapter 3.
