Okay everypony, here is part two of the Alicorn Instinct.

I did originally plan for this to be a two-shot, but then I noticed that it would make more sense for there to be a break between this part and the last one.

Anyway enough stalling.

Begin!

It was early in the morning when I first felt it. The moon was still up actually...

I opened my eyes to find myself splayed out in a most unladylike fashion. I was lying on my back with my forehooves folded over my chest and my hind legs spread out about as much as they could get. Thankfully the covers Alex and I shared managed to salvage whatever dignity I had left.

Speaking of my little snuggle honey...

I turned myself onto my side and smiled serenely at what I saw. He was quite asleep yet wasn't snoring, he never did. Which to be honest was a nice bonus for whenever I tried to sleep myself. The covers were only covering him up to his stomach, leaving his quite attractive toned body on display.

Oh and did I mention that he was completely naked?

Why?

Because I pretty much tore any clothing off of him the previous night, much to his mock grumbling. Said mock grumbling didn't last too long mind you...I know his weak spot.

An idea came to me as I remembered this, causing me to snicker quietly and slowly move my left hoof under the covers. I could instantly feel the effects of what he kindly called "Morning wood", thus making me smirk and move my muzzle to his ear.

Now I know what you're most likely thinking, but I assure you that sex wasn't on my mind that morning.

As I lovingly caressed him, I stuck my tongue out of my muzzle and gave his ear a tentative lick.

I then proceeded to moan out his name in a rather sultry fashion.

"Ohhh Alex..."

Once his name escaped my lips, I quickly withdrew my hoof and laid back on my side to await the results.

Said results were quite amusing.

At first nothing happened apart from a couple of happy sighs and quiet mumbling. But then he slowly started to hump the mattress.

"Mhmm Cadey..." he mumbled randomly.

I couldn't help myself at this point. A loud burst of laughter escaped me, instantly waking him up and causing him to yell in surprise as he fell out of the bed. He jumped to his feet straight away and glared at me in annoyance.

"Cadance!" he growled huskily.

"Yes honey?" I replied innocently, a few giggles forcing their way out of my muzzle every few seconds.

"Why was I shagging the bed again?" he asked accusingly.

I put a hoof under my muzzle mock contemplatively, looking up at the ceiling as if attempting to remember something important.

"I'm not sure sweetie," I replied eventually, looking back at him with the most honest expression I could muster. "Maybe there's something you need to tell me?"

"Oh? Do you really think so?"

He glared at me for a few more seconds, before smirking and making his way over to a couch that was recently moved in from my chambers.

"You do realize that now I have to sleep on the sofa for the rest of tonight...and tomorrow...and the rest of the week," he muttered sombrely.

My breath caught in my throat at this. You see just as I knew some of his weakness, he knew some of mine.

And one of my major ones was sleeping without him.

I honestly don't know why...

But when I sleep and he's not next to me...holding me, touching me...keeping me safe. It just makes me feel so lonely...and I hate being alone.

"Oh come on honey, I didn't mean anything by it," I apologized softly. "I was just having a bit of fun sweetie that's all."

He looked back at me sceptically as he pulled out a blanket from under the couch and draped it over it.

"Well be that as it may, I think a good sleep on the couch will help greatly with my bed humping problem," he stated happily, climbing under the blanket and resting his head against the arm of the sofa.

"Na Night Cadey!" he finished enthusiastically.

I wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. I knew that what I had done was rapidly becoming old even if it was amusing for me...but was he really that ticked off that he had to sleep on the sofa?

By the sound of his light breathing a few minutes later...well I guess he was.

Damnit he knew exactly what he was doing. I mean sure my little prank might have irritated him a bit, but surely he knew just how horrible I felt without him next to me.

"I don't want to sleep without him..."

I suddenly felt a strange sensation deep within my chest. I couldn't really describe the sheer intensity, the sheer amount of emotion that began to simmer inside me.

I just...It was just that...

Alex...I-I needed Alex...I needed him...Oh Celestia I needed him so badly!

Without so much as a second thought to what I was about to do, I quickly got out of bed and made my way over to him. As sure as the sun shines, he was fast asleep. It wasn't surprising seeing as it must have only been about three in the morning...and we were quite busy a few hours before.

The sofa wasn't really that big, but there was enough room for one more if I pressed myself as close to him as I could.

And I did just that.

I carefully climbed onto the couch and under the blanket, pressing my back as much as I could into him. To my relief the moment I did so, he wrapped his arms around my tummy and snuggled his head into the side of my neck. He then kissed it, sending a shudder of pleasure down my spine that actually made me purr slightly.

"Can't spend a minute without me huh?" he whispered bemusedly.

Wow...

He had no idea just how much of an understatement that was.

"I love you honey, I don't want to ever be apart from you." I confessed lovingly.

Although I couldn't sense his emotions like I could with any other Pony, I could still feel just how happy my words made him. He tightened his grip on me ever so slightly...something that I'm not afraid to admit made me feel good.

"I love you too baby girl."

I loved it when he called me baby girl. It felt real...it felt mine.

And like that, a content, happy and completely full feeling of satisfaction filled me up. I snuggled my body even further into his...and with that I closed my eyes.

And fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was without the feeling of my wonderful coltfriend holding me. I have to admit that this puzzled me slightly, for how he got off the sofa without waking me up was beyond me.

And then I noticed something...I wasn't on the sofa.

I was lying yet again on our bed with the covers tucked comfortably under my chin. Alex was lying beside me, his breathing quiet yet reassuringly close to me.

"Did he pick me up and tuck me in?"

That mere thought made me feel so happy...

"Oh Celestia I love him!"

I crawled my way over to him and rested my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat...it was soothing.

"You awake baby girl?" he asked suddenly. I would have jumped if it weren't for his hand stroking my back lovingly.

"Mhmm," I replied simply.

We merely stayed like that for what felt like forever. Just him and I...me nuzzling and comforting him, and him stroking and comforting me...

I'm so happy that we're a couple.

"I can't wait until we go out later sweetie," I said excitedly.

Ah yes, I almost forgot...

Alex had asked me yesterday if I felt like going out for a picnic with him. We hadn't actually done this before, choosing instead to have a meal at a restaurant or merely eat whatever we could sneak inside our chambers from the dinner table.

And not always with the intention to eat it.

It's hard to believe that Celestia actually has a rule about that.

"You can eat at the dinner table but for the love of the sun, do not take any more food into your chambers," she berated us crossly. "I understand that you love each other very much and that you're exploring new...possibilities in your relationship...But I had to give ten servants a raise just to keep them from quitting their jobs! What do you use the food for anyway?"

I snapped out of my remembrance as Alex chuckled and kissed my horn delicately, simultaneously bringing a small moan from me in response.

"H-Honey you know that's really sensitive," I chastised him humorously.

"I know Cadey," he replied bemusedly, before kissing my horn again and causing me to giggle uncontrollably.

"Alex!"

"Oh shush, you know you enjoy it."

There are times during our relationship when I honestly want to strangle him.

"Sweetie if you do that again then I'm going to have to kill you," I warned him sternly.

He looked down at me at this and blinked in surprise...before grinning and giving my horn one good long lick.

"That's it!"

I quickly jumped on top of him and proceeded to wrestle with him playfully. We both laughed at each other even whilst we breathed heavily, both of us trying our utmost to prevail over the other.

After a few minutes of panting and tickling, I pinned his hands above his head and smirked down at him victoriously.

"Will you stop touching my horn now, it's really sensitive." I asked disapprovingly.

He started laughing at me at this point, which unfortunately for him forced my hoof into prodding him viciously.

"Alright, alright I get it," he cried with laughter.

I grinned down at him but stopped and gave his lips a quick smooch, slowly getting off of him until...

"Just because you can't handle a tease and I can," he taunted.

I honestly felt my left eye twitch when he said that.

"Did he just challenge me?"

Now...I'm not a very competitive mare so to speak. But when somepony challenges me in the "I bet you can't beat me" way that Alex just did...

"Oh really?" I asked innocently.

"Yup, but don't worry about it. It's nothing to be ashamed of," he replied just as innocently.

Oh he knew just how to push my buttons.

"Well then," I began huskily, my tone causing him to look at me worriedly. "Let's see how you like it when I tease your horn."

He looked confused as I slowly moved down, pulling the covers off of him as I did so.

"But I don't have a-OH GOD!"

What a fun morning that was.

After I made him beg for mercy, we eventually got out of bed and showered together. Showering with my little snuggle honey is one of the highlights of my day, every day. I can't really explain it...but washing him all over makes me feel so happy. When I do it's almost like I'm taking care of him...like I have a higher purpose.

Oh I confuse myself sometimes.

The fact that he loves touching me as well makes showering all the better.

After we finished showering each other and drying ourselves off, Alex made his way over to his set of draws and pulled out a certain amount of clothing. As for myself, I went over to get myself ready with what Alex so kindly refers to as "My mare shit".

I activated my magic and levitated a brush out of the top draw, before beginning the annoyingly long process of sorting out my mane and tail. I used to wear my mane in a simply ponytail, but after Alex confessed that he found it sexy when I wore my mane down...well I see no need to tie it up anymore.

I had just finished with brushing my tail when Alex sneakily stole the brush from my magical grip, something that if I'm completely honest frightens me sometimes. For a Unicorn, magic is something they tend to use for everything. Picking up objects, cleaning, drying one's self after a bath...like I said everything. But to have that crutch taken away so easily...well it's scary.

Fortunately for me, said fear never lasted longer than a millisecond...because I knew he'd never abuse his magic defying gift and hurt me. He'd never hurt anyone like that...except for bullies I suppose.

I turned around to see him holding the brush with a cheeky grin on his face.

"Are you planning on using that for something sweetie?" I asked curiously, a grin of my own rapidly worming its way onto my muzzle.

He merely remained contemplative for but a few seconds...before turning me back around again and brushing the left side of my mane. I always tended to leave one side un-brushed before moving onto my tail...although I'm not sure why to be honest.

Call it a habit!

Alex has on occasions like this one, brushed my mane before. I'd normally prefer to do something like this myself...but I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't relaxing. The fact that he actually isn't too bad at it is a plus as well.

"Are you sure you've never done this before Alex?" I asked questioningly.

"Well I don't feel like I have," he replied honestly. "But who knows, maybe I have a little sister or something."

He fell quiet as he mentioned that...and even though I cannot sense his emotions, I don't really need a magical ability to know when he's upset.

"Are you okay sweetie?" I asked worriedly.

It took a few moments but he eventually took a deep breath, put the brush down and sat back down on our bed. I looked at him and frowned at the upset expression on his face.

"I don't know Cadey...I just wish that I could remember more."

He looked down at the floor and sighed deeply before rubbing the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb.

"What if I don't have a family Cadance?" he asked morosely. "Or what if I do and they don't care that I'm gone."

I smiled at this sadly and walked over to him, reaching him quickly before placing a hoof on his cheek as I kissed him lovingly. He smiled at this and placed his right hand on my own cheek. I broke off the kiss and smiled at him adoringly.

"Alex...sweetie, even if you don't have somepony waiting for you on your world...well you have a family here." I moved my muzzle closer to his nose and nuzzled it warmly, prompting him to sigh happily as I did so. "Celestia might as well be your mother and you and Shining are practically brothers."

He let out a quiet chuckle as I kissed his nose, before looking at me with a rather sly grin on his face.

"And what about you hmm?" he asked bemusedly.

I grinned at him and licked his cheek affectionately, precipitating his eyes to widen in pleasant surprise.

"Well I'm just the Alicorn that loves everything about you, kicks your flank at every game minus Pac-Mare and fucks you on a regular basis."

I give his cheek another lick and half lid my eyes at him seductively.

"Or did I get that wrong?"

"Maybe," he replied cheekily, grinning widely as if to emphasise his point.

I narrowed my eyes at him in mock anger as he said this. But even then I could feel...something within me that found his answer unacceptable.

"Maybe" wasn't good enough. I was his mare and it was time he realized that!

I let out a low growl before lunging at him and pinning him down on the bed. Then before he could so much as twitch a muscle, I quickly captured his lips with my own and forced my tongue into his mouth. He let out a surprised noise but quickly returned my kiss with enthusiasm, causing me to moan unashamedly as I broke off the kiss and began licking and nibbling on his skin.

It was only when I felt his excitement pressing through his jeans that I stopped eating his face, pulled my muzzle back and glared at him dominantly.

"So who's your mare?" I asked sternly.

"You are," he replied

"Damn right I am."

After a little more playful kissing and nibbling from me, he eventually reminded me of the picnic that I was really looking forward to. And by the time on our clock...we had kinda overslept a little.

With an exaggerated sigh from me, I climbed off of him and walked back to my vanity corner, making sure my tail brushed against his crotch as I did so. We both made sure that we looked at least a bit decent before leaving our chamber, then went down to the dining area to pick up Alex's homemade food in a rather funny looking pink picnic basket.

"Pink?" I asked bemusedly.

"Pink," he deadpanned, smiling all the same. "I like pink."

"I bet."

"You are way too dirty minded."

With a small giggle and nuzzle from myself, we casually made our way out of the palace...simultaneously trying our best to avoid Celestia.

I mean no offense when I say this...but she's kind of become very happy with our relationship.

And when I say happy, what I really mean is that she never stops her constant questions towards any future foals.

We're ONLY seventeen for goodness sake, eighteen soon in my little snuggle honey's case.

Anyway we quickly and carefully made our way out of the palace before proceeding down a familiar path towards Canterlot Park. We arrived there not ten minutes later, stuck to each other's side with my tail wrapped around his leg and his left hand on my back.

We hadn't spoken at all...but we looked at each other constantly. And that was all we needed...I needed...Oh I love him so much.

Alex took his hand off of me as he and I climbed up a short grassy hill. He eventually stopped and with a small smirk, proceeded to clumsily lay out a large blue blanket with a peculiar half moon emblem imprinted on it.

"That's a nice blanket honey, where'd you get it?" I asked curiously.

"Celestia gave it to me yesterday," he replied, cursing as he did so in his attempt to lay the blanket out perfectly. "She said it would keep us safe under the shade."

I smirked at hearing another one of my Aunt's bizarre quotes but did indeed notice that the blanket was under the shade of a large chestnut tree.

After a short but amusing amount of time watching him struggle with the blanket, I playfully shoved him aside with my flank and fixed it with a brief bout of my magic.

"That's just cheating baby girl," he complained, to which I maturely responded by sticking my tongue out at him.

I hate to admit it, but he kind of won the moment he caught my tongue with his mouth and laid us down on the blanket, him leaning over me dominantly.

Oooh shivers...

"Mhmm you're very happy today aren't you?" I asked teasingly, looking up at him with a grin as his eyes shone mischievously.

"Much more then you realize," he quipped huskily.

"Actually I do realize how much," I admitted sultrily, grinding my lower body against his unashamedly as I bit his bottom lip. "I can feel how much as well."

Dear Celestia...how he claimed my mouth so expertly and turned me into a puddle of goo I'll never know. What I do know however is that if it wasn't for an interruption, I would have torn every piece of his clothing off before politely asking permission to buck his brains out.

In broad daylight...

With mothers and their foals not a short distance away...

Being the Princess of love can be difficult sometimes.

"Holy Celestia, what is she doing with that thing?!"

Alex and I both jumped at the sudden shout and broke apart instinctively. I looked over his shoulder and frowned at the culprit behind said shout.

A red coloured Unicorn mare with bright pink hair was looking at Alex and I with a disgusted expression on her muzzle.

"Can we help you?" I asked bluntly, disapproval and annoyance practically radiating off of Alex as I did so.

"Peh! Help me?" she replied mockingly. "You're the one kissing that creature here not me."

"Did she just call Alex a creature?"

Calling me names is fine, I don't care about it. It wasn't the first time somepony voiced their disapproval towards mine and Alex's relationship.

Not that we actually give a crap mind you.

But calling my wonderful lover a creature...I really did not like this mare.

"Look you don't like us and that's fine," I stated half calmly. "Your opinion's been noted now please leave us alone and go away."

The mare snorted arrogantly and turned to walk away from us.

"Whatever bitch, I don't even want to imagine your pathetic sex life let alone witness it anyway."

I blinked at her hostile attitude in confusion.

"Did I piss off this mare somehow?" I wondered questioningly.

I could sense her emotions as she trotted away from us...she felt smug and a little bit frustrated.

Once she was out of our sight, Alex quickly pecked my lips with his own...which I returned passionately as I snaked my right hoof down his torso and towards his jeans.

Like I said, we really don't care about what others think. We love each other and that's all either of us needed.

That and when he starts it's pretty much impossible to make ME stop.

"We should, hmm, probably eat s-something baby," I advised amongst my moaning and growling.

Alex looked down at me as he stopped touching me all over...and then nodded before winking and climbing off of me. Needless to say...it was a good thing that the blanket was darkly coloured.

Once I had finished panting like a mare in heat, I slowly crawled my way over to him and took a sneaky bite out of the cucumber sandwich in his hand, grinning up at him all the while as I chewed slowly and licked the corner of my muzzle.

"It's delicious honey," I purred longingly, my tongue still poking out of my muzzle ever so slightly.

Once I had managed to obtain a blush from my slightly flustered Human, I laid myself backwards on his legs and smiled up at him happily.

He smiled down at me just as cheerfully before he took out a batch of grapes and began to teasingly rub one against my closed mouth.

Do you think that literally engulfing his grape holding fingers with my long tongue was a bit overkill?

The next hour or so we spent under that tree was...magnificent. We shared the long spaghetti and kissed, we drank an ice cold hazelnut milkshake with two straws and yet still managed to get some of the liquid on our mouths.

We both laughed happily at that.

And once we were so full, so happy and content...

We merely laid there in each other's embrace, kissing and nibbling, nuzzling and saying sweet nothings to the other.

"I love you so much Cadance," he breathed happily, smiling peacefully as I kissed his nose and nuzzled under his chin.

"I love you too Alexander," I replied, my whole being full with an exulted sensation.

I will never forget that moment we shared...it's moments like those that keep me going whilst he's...

Different story...another time.

After a little more cuddling I eventually felt nature calling and left to use the parks public toilet.

They're surprisingly clean actually!

It was only when I finished washing my hooves that I felt...weird.

I couldn't explain it exactly...it was as though something had grabbed onto my heart and was squeezing it every few seconds.

There was no pain...but there was one thought, one nagging sensation that filled my mind.

"Something's wrong with Alex!"

I didn't know how, but I just knew that my beloved was in some sort of trouble.

I felt distress...and I don't think that it was all mine...

Without so much as a second thought, I trotted quickly out of the bathhouse and back to where Alex and I were snuggling up together. It was when I turned finished the short climb up the hill that I saw something...terrible, horrifying actually.

Me wonderful Alexander had just pushed somepony off of him.

Said pony was...was that mare from before, I could tell as I soon as I looked at her.

But the worst part of all this was...was that just before my Alex threw her off of him...

Her muzzle had been firmly pressed against his mouth.

Alex noticed me straight away. His expression was livid, his eyes wide in both anger and sudden surprise at my appearance.

But the mare...I could feel the smugness radiating from her, could see it in her grin.

Smugness, arrogance and victorious emotions were all around her.

Victorious?

Did she just do that to piss me off?

Well...she succeeded.

I felt it straight away.

That instinct. That drive to do what normally I would never do. I felt it when I saw her. That whorse, that slut who had tried to shove her tongue into my Alexander's throat...

"How dare you..." I growled furiously.

Something...something was happening, I could feel a voice inside me yelling, screaming and cursing at her.

Was it mine?

The mare scoffed at my anger and flicked her tail at me insultingly...all the while looking at Alex with a sultry expression on her muzzle.

"I take it back Princess," she said mockingly. "He is pretty good for an animal."

An...an...

Animal...

She just called my beloved...

My mate...he...my...

His honor was insulted...she insulted my mate...

"My mate, my mate, mine, mine...she...dangerous competition...PROTECT!"

The mare was looking at me warily as she backed away...and then she looked at MY MATE and said...she said...

"Never mind you being the animal. Calm her down!"

MY MATE looked at her with disgust evident on his features...a part of me purred inwardly...I prowled my way over to him...he needed protecting from that slut.

"You force yourself on me and expect me to...No you know what, go fuck yourself whorse! Get out of here," he ordered angrily.

"Ohhh...love him...mine...mate...protecting me...love...love..."

"Whatever Alex, maybe next time you'll kiss me back freak."

...

I snapped.

The clouds above me suddenly darkened, lightning flashing and roaring in all its power.

The sun which had been not a few hours from setting suddenly darkened into what could only have been an Eclipse.

The moon glowed...I had a feeling it was at me...

I could feel my eyes tingling with power, the darkened grass ahead of me lit up by their sudden glow.

My horn began to spit and crackle with magical energy. The mare was looking at me with fear in her eyes...but it was too late for fear now.

She...she had a chance to...to stop...

"You will never see the next sunrise!" I snarled lividly.

My voice...it was...demonic...was it...is it mine?

I noticed Alex out of the corner of my eye... I had never seen him look at me like that.

He looked scared...of me...

"IT'S HER FAULT. SHE MADE ME DO THIS. SHE MADE ME SCARE HIM!"

The magical energy in my horn reached its peak.

My eyes shone ever brighter.

A scream came from me...I heard every window, every fragile thing in the whole of Canterlot shatter.

The mare was running. Her fear was tangible, I could sense it, smell it...taste it.

My horn become a spear of pure destructive energy...I didn't even know this spell...I don't think it was a spell.

Was it my hate?

Anger?

I aimed, I prepared to fire. To hurt her, to hurt, wound, maim...to KILL!

To keep her away from HIM forever!

I nearly struck!

And then nothing...no not nothing.

He was there, in front of me, holding my face in his hands as he stared into my eyes and whispered something.

I could barely hear...

"I love you Cadance...Stop, please stop..."

He...he...his hands on my face, stroking me, loving me...

Perhaps there was...perhaps there was no need to...

The mare...I could see her just barely...I could still...

His hands on my face...

Mare...

Hands...

"Alex..."

The clouds dissipated above us, the eclipse separated and became a single sun once more.

My horn stopped crackling and calmed...

My eyes stopped glowing, the power I felt within them, within me simmered back to normal.

I looked at him, he was on his knees, holding me, caressing me...

I kissed him...I had to, I feared what would happen if I didn't.

He kissed me back...it was reassuring, lovely...

Wait I had just...

I broke free from Alex's soft grip and backpedalled until my back hit a tree...the same tree that not a few minutes ago we had been cuddling under in bliss.

"Oh my...Alex I...I didn't mean-"

And like that he was there in front of me, holding me, my head buried into his shoulder as his whispered that it was okay, that nopony was hurt.

"A-A-Alex I-I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean t-to..."

"Shush Cadance...it's okay. It's going to be okay."

That rush I felt from my anger, my rage...it was gone now. I felt so drained, it was as thought I had just ran a thousand miles.

To my surprise I could not see anypony near us, despite the fact that I...wasn't normal for a moment.

More than a moment...

I wept into his neck and he held me tightly, reassuringly. He was still there for me...he wouldn't leave me...

But I had scared him, I saw it in his eyes. I saw the hesitation before I kissed him, claimed him...re-claimed him from my brief bout of terrified paranoia.

And then just as he let me go there was a flash of golden light...and I wasn't in the park anymore.

I was on my stomach in front of a stern looking Celestia.

"A-Aunty I-"

"Come with me now," she ordered simply.

There was no room for argument there...so I obeyed, my mind constantly on Alex even whilst I followed her down the long corridors and into her chambers.

"My Alex...he's alone...that mare could..."

A brief bout of anger struck me hard and I had to fight myself, stop myself from teleporting back to the park.

To hold him again...for him to hold me and tell me that everything was going to be alright.

I needed him in that moment...I was so scared.

Of Celestia, of what that mare had done to my poor snuggle honey...of myself and my anger.

It was still so raw, I could feel it simmering away inside me, held back by the most brittle of dams.

I walked inside of Celestia's chambers and sat down on a floor. Celestia walked past me and sat down in front of me, looking down at me in disappointment...and something else.

Fear...

"Tell me what happened Cadance, leave nothing out."

I looked up at her, my Aunty...my second Mother. I felt terrified at the consequences of my actions.

I had just created an Eclipse. I had just stolen control of the sun from Celestia...and I had no idea how I did it.

But none the less I told her. I told her everything, from arriving at the park, to holding and loving, to washing my hooves and feeling another's despair...to seeing that mare forcing herself on MY Alex.

To losing myself and nearly killing her in the process.

To Alex calming me down...me bawling my eyes out as I realized just how badly I wanted to kill somepony. A sensation that I had never felt in my entire life.

And when I finished telling her I looked up and gazed into her eyes.

She looked sad...for me?

"Cadance...what I'm about to say can never be told to anypony except Alex. Is that understood?"

I tilted my head, I felt confused and shaky, raw and roughly used...

But I nodded anyway...maybe if she told me then I could go back to my beloved and be cradled in his embrace.

Celestia sighed deeply as she began to explain...everything.

"What just happened to you is perfectly normal for an Alicorn," she started softly. "When I was young my Mother called it The Alicorn Instinct...although it's far more than a simple instinct."

I wanted to ask so many questions...but I couldn't bring myself to speak anymore.

"It's a part of what you are. And in that context it is you...except it's nothing like you. The instinct is raw and feral and untrained. It has no boundaries or law, there is no code to which it abides and it will do ANYTHING to protect those it loves."

"I-I don't understand Aunty," I whispered painfully, my throat felt sore...

She smiled gently and pressed her horn to my throat, instantly curing it of the sandpaper roughness it once had.

"It's powerful Cadance," she stated fearfully. "I have it, you have it and even Lu..."

She shook her head and exhaled noisily, looking down at me tiredly as she did so.

"That instinct is an Alicorn's true self. When it takes over...you become powerful, even more so then you already are. And it's always whispering in your mind, coaxing you with its touch. It's so intoxicating that even I have trouble holding it back."

"You had..."

"It was a few years ago in Griffonia with Alex. There was an accident, Alex nearly died because of a bigoted Griffon. And in that moment of realization I nearly wiped out half the country in my rage."

Holy...no wonder Alex never talked about it.

"I want you to realize right here, right now that MUST control that part of you," she whispered worriedly. "Alex can help you, a lover's touch soothes the savage beast after all..because that's what we become when we let it win."

She suddenly began pushing me towards her door, opening it in her haste as she rapidly spoke to me.

I had never seen her so scared before...

"Go to Alex, hold him, let him hold you and eventually you'll feel so much better."

I stopped her from pushing me by digging my hooves into the floor...I had to know something, it was burning me from the inside out.

"Will I feel satisfied Celestia?" I asked fearfully...I could still feel it." I feel so angry and I want it to stop, but I need...NEED to be satisfied."

Celestia blinked at my stuttering question...and to my horror she shook her head.

"I don't know what it'll take to satisfy you Cadance," she admitted shamefully. "I wish it did but I don't. You have to find that out for yourself...you must find out."

"How?" I asked nervously.

"You'll know, trust me you'll know...I did."

She...

Celestia pushed me outside and closed the door behind her. I could still sense her fear...and with good reason now that I think about it.

For one fleeting moment I possessed more power than her and it was out of control. I could have destroyed everything near me, I was in a park...with foals...

I could have killed a foal, an innocent.

Could I have hurt Alex?

"ALEX!"

I galloped back to our room as fast as I could, Alex was all I could think off...I needed to make sure that he was okay, that he still wanted to be with me after I nearly...

My chamber door flew open as I stormed inside.

And there he was...on our bed laying down, staring at the ceiling. He didn't seek me out...why didn't he look for me.

"Is he going to leave me?"

He sat up straight away as I entered our room. Our eyes locked and for one terrible moment I saw fear.

Fear of me.

"DON'T LEAVE ME!"

I cried tears of terror, tears of despair as I leaped on top of him and held myself to him tightly. My wings wrapped around him, holding him close to me as I felt his heart beating against my own chest.

My own heart was replicating this expertly.

"P-Please don't leave me my love," I begged pitifully. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, to alienate you-"

"Cadance."

"I couldn't stop myself beloved. I saw that mare kissing you a-and I just-"

"Cadance!"

"PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T ABANDON ME. I LOVE YOU, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER, I'M SO SORRY. I-"

"PRINCESS MI AMORE CANDENZA, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

My breath was stolen, my gasps taken away, my heartbeat doubled...my fears laid to rest.

He was kissing me passionately, dominantly.

For me, with me, because of me!

And then the kiss was broken. I tried to get it back, I NEEDED it!

"Cadance, Cadey. Baby girl I would never ever leave you. Not after everything I went through to get you, what we went through to claim each other."

He put both palms on my cheeks and held me steady, gazing as he did so with our eyes locked opposite each others. His touch calmed me, soothed me...I felt my rage damper, not go, but merely...taking a break from its constant attacks on my psyche.

"I need you baby, you need me. We need each other don't we?"

I nodded furiously in agreement. Anything to keep this topic as it was, to stay his fear, to hold it back from overwhelming him into making a horrible decision.

"What do you want Cadey? What do you need right now for me to convince you that I'm not going anywhere?"

I need...I need...need...need.

"Go to Alex, hold him, let him hold you and eventually you'll feel so much better."

"Touch me Alex," I breathed longingly. "Touch me, be with me tonight and every night."

I pressed my lips against his in a needy kiss, my wings already spreading out as my hooves caressed his perfect, mine, wonderful body.

My muzzle pressed against his nose until all I could see were his eyes.

"Love...me..." I begged achingly.

"Always," he promised huskily.

His hands moved all over me, my body...his, all his, I belonged, it belonged to him.

He was mine, I was his...and he showed me. I showed him, loved him, loved me...

Pleasure wracked my body again and again. Climax took me, took him so many times.

He worshiped me with his gaze. He loved me with his words and touch.

I made him cry out my name in tortuous pleasure as I forced him to finish inside me. I made him WANT me, ache for me, love me until it was all he knew.

He made me spill tears of joy as his mere name brought me to orgasm. He made me WANT him even more than I already did. I longed for his fingers, his tongue, his breath.

Many hours passed us by. The moon was full by the time our bodies could take no more.

We were cuddling, snuggled up against each other. Exhaustion was clear on our faces.

...but I was not satisfied.

I do not mean by his wonderful actions that night. He satisfied my every desire...perfectly.

But that feral anger...it was still there. And despite its happy purring at the reclamation of my mate, it still pleaded for an end to its suffering.

It wanted revenge...I wanted revenge.

That mare had no right to FORCE herself on Alex. She had no right to INSULT him, to call him a freak and a creature!

Petty things...I shouldn't overreact...was this me overreacting?

"No...No this is RIGHT. And until that slut knows her place...I will never rest."

That thought...was it me?

I felt my eyes shine with a powerful glow...and just like that every ounce of confidence that I lacked burst within me.

Yes now I understood.

This was a war that the slut had failed to realized she had started.

"All well, tactical advantage...but first, know your enemy."

I turned to look at my beloved and smiled pleasantly at his utterly satisfied expression.

I had really shown him who he belonged to.

"Then again so did he."

I giggled quietly and kissed him deeply. He didn't stir however...probably because of me bucking his brains out.

A smirk wormed its way onto my muzzle at that perverse thought, before quickly becoming apathetic as I flew silently off of the bed and made my way towards the door.

"Time to get to work," I muttered sadistically.

Author's Notes:

SURPRISE!

I did plan for this to be a two shot, but I needed some space between this and the next scene.

I'm already 3513 words into it so far and the ending is already complete.

I just have to write the tortu- I mean "talk" between Cadance and...well you'll see.

Peace for now!
