Natalie.

Poor, poor Natalie.

She woke up screaming, her hair nothing more than a frazzled mess. One of the guards rushed in to see what her caterwauling was about.

"What happened, Miss Natalie?" Asked the guard.

"Nightmare...Beholder....monster-baby...." She heaved before sobbing. Yes, her dream revolved around the unspeakable horror done to her by the Beholder in front of Matt and Lance.

And getting pregnant in the process.

Sadly, Lancey boy had to pay for the abortion. It was either that or beat her stomach senselessly until a miscarriage ensued. If he hurt Natalie even per her request, Matt woulda kicked his ass to Mars and back. Natalie, due to not liking being sent in the kitchen, wasn't...the best option for a parent.

"A...Beholder?" Asked the guard, who sounded like he swallowed a lump of coal.

"Yeah...it was terrible!!" Natalie shrieked before burying her face in her hands once more. Her sobbing was more than enough to wake Matt up.

"I dare not ask." Matt croaked as he yawned and stretched his arms. The guard wrapped his forelegs around the crying mage as she started screaming into his fuzzy chest.

NoLegs meowed. Judging from the look on his face, he was concerned.

"I think I owe another explanation for you, mister guard..." Matt gulped, his eyes wide. "Just wait till she goes back to sleep..."

The guard only nodded, as he feared another Cleaver or a Thunder spell from the sobbing mage. He knew full well the very reason to fear both of them, and he dared not say it.

"She...SHE WHAT?!" Screamed Cadence, a hoof raised...more than ready to smack Matt upside the head.

"Yeah..... this thing knocked her up in the most horrid way imaginable and Lance and I were forced to watch EVERYTHING." Matt shuddered. "Lance had to pay for the abortion...and it tried strangling her senseless because of it. Since then, it's been hellbent on killing her."

"So....she had nightmares about it since?" Gulped Shining, his ears flat on his head.

"Yeah. Whatever you do, keep ANY AND ALL Beholders away from her." Matt grimly answered, his body and voice still shaking in fright. "Nobody....wants...to see.....THAT."

"Dear Celestia..." Cadence whispered in a tiny squeak, her wings drooping. "I...I can't believe...." She suddenly fell on her side crying her eyes out. Shining clutched Cadence as she wept.

"Guards, keep an eye out for any Beholders. If you see one, hold it off. If more than four of you can't keep it at bay, take Natalie, Matt, and NoLegs straight to Canterlot." Shining said.

"Yes, sir!" Replied the guards like they were in a military program.

Matt nodded and then went back to the shared room. "Natalie?" He called, only to notice a quivering form hidden under a blanket.

"Is it over?!" Natalie complained, her voice hushed thanks to the blanket.

"Yes, it's over. If four or more guards can't hold tenta-perv off, we're to be taken to Canterlot." Matt answered.

Natalie flung the blanket off and ran to Matt before hugging him.

"Thank god!" She cried, and continued to weep while Matt held her tightly in his arms.

NoLegs meowed again.

Eventually, Natz was fast asleep again. This time, she shared a bed with Matt to keep the nightmares of the Beholder away. NoLegs kept them from doing anything lewd by simply laying between them. Matt was wide awake the entire night, however, as those...horridly dirty images of the unspeakable horror assaulted his mind like a never-ending cyclone.

Why won't you let any of us alone, you vile fiend?! Matt thought, making sure to stay quiet.

The horrid memory replayed in his mind once more, and this time it was much clearer than ever before.

The Beholder approached the hapless Mage, who was backed up against a wall. Her hands felt as if they were glued onto the rock they touched and her legs shook tremendously.

"S-Stay back!" Natalie whimpered in fright as tears began streaming down her face.

Two Skull Spirits held Matt and Lance by the shoulders, keeping them from moving. Chains further immobilized their bodies and their heads were forced to keep looking right on ahead.

The Beholder lunged a tentacle forward and off went the dress. It flew quite a ways before landing in front of Matt's feet.

"Natalie!" Cried the swordsman who was trying to worm his way out of confinement. "Leave her alone!"

The monster paid him no mind. Off went the undergarments. Both of which ended up blinding Lance momentarily before the Spirit holding him dropped them onto the dress.

"Stay away!" Natalie wept as she tried running around the fiend...only to trip on a tentacle. By the time she lifted her head out of the dirt the tentacles had taken hold of her wrists and ankles.

She was hoisted up now, giving a full and surprisingly clear view of her nude body.

"Put her down! You do NOT treat a woman like that no matter how much she likes it should she already like it to begin with!" Lance protested, jerking his head forward angrily.

The Beholder turned one of five eyes toward the soldier before returning its gaze to its most recent catch.

A tentacle wrapped itself around Natalie's neck and tightened. This kept her from screaming at the top of her lungs. Casting spells to drive it off were also out of the question.

"PUT HER DOWN!" Matt commanded before the Spirit electrocuted him briefly. He convulsed and howled in pained fury before it stopped. What he saw next tore his mind and heart asunder, and he couldn't help but shed a tear at the god-forsaken sight.

The tip of the tentacle that was strangling Natalie was shoved into her mouth as another volley of tears flooded out onto her cheeks.

~~~~~~~~~

Natalie was thrown onto the ground as the monstrosity finished using her to relieve itself threefold. Her body was covered head to toe in white ick. She sobbed heavily as the men were released from their prison. They ran to her side and hoisted her up on her wobbly feet.

Her sticky hands clutched Matt's shoulder with a death grip. She slowly rose her shaking head to the tentacled monstrosity and heaved. Not even the stream of tears gushing out of her eyes cleaned the drying, gooey seeds of unholy, forced lust that stuck mostly on her cheeks and around her lips.

"I hate you! I HATE YOU!" She shrieked accusingly before throwing her face into Matt's chest.

The Beholder, whose tentacles were also white and sticky, didn't pay that any mind either. Away it slithered, out of sight of the heroes. Matt continued to stroke her hair in order to soothe her while Lance proceeded to call in backup.

"We have a bad situation here, get your lazy asses here PRONTO!" Bellowed the soldier who was pissed beyond belief.

Author's Notes:

Yes, I had to include the Beholder-child running gag.

I JUST HAD TO, OKAY?!
