A/N: Yay, i can post the is new story. this is a sequel to "A World In Between" and i highly recommend reading that first. this first chapter is a little short, but i ended it the way i wanted to. haven't begun chapter two yet, mostly because i need to rest from the constant use of brain power to keep the story straight. Enjoy.

A midnight blue unicorn sat around a fire, watching it crackle in the night. The wind blew slightly, keeping the air from becoming stagnant. An owl hooted in the background. The unicorn looked up from the fire and in the direction of the owl. The sky was lit with the stars and moon over above. A tear slid down the unicorn’s cheek and down hit the ground.

The stallion levitated a canteen to his lips and took a drink from it. The night sounds died out, and left the pony alone with his thoughts. He turned and rolled out his sleep mat. The weather was clear of rain, but that didn’t mean anything in the Outlands. A canopy was attached to the wagon and covered the mat. The unicorn sighed and laid his head down, falling a sleep alone again.

Eyes opened in the darkness, ones that had been following the unicorn for the past three weeks. The owner of the eyes smiled and decided tonight would be her night. The creature crept toward the camp, keeping silent. The distance was closing when the creature unknowingly stepped on a thin wire. It took a few more steps, when a cage fell from the trees and captured the thing.

The unicorn was up and standing next to the cage with a sword ready. He stood in front of the creature and waited for it to show another sign of life. It looked around and found the unicorn, jumping from seeing him.

“Don’t move or I will end your life now,” the unicorn said to the creature. It complied. The unicorn and discovered that was actually a changeling. It was female and was confused. “You can change to speak, but only to speak.”

The changeling transformed into a red unicorn mare. She had a cutie mark that showed a scarf. Her mane was also red, which showed off her green eyes. The unicorn relaxed slightly, knowing that the changeling would comply.

“What do I call you?” the unicorn asked, keeping the sword in the air.

“I adopted the name Scarlet. I always turn into this unicorn, so I took the name. What may I call you?” Scarlet asked her voice smooth and calm. The unicorn could hear the fear though.

“That’s none of your business. I know you’ve been watching me for the past three weeks. What I want to know is why?” the unicorn said, his patience low. The changeling thought for a second before answering.

“I was banished from the Hive, and found you. I was hungry, and thought I’d have something to eat,” Scarlet said, a small smile covering her face.

“And what makes you think I have any love for you. I’m actually quite miserable right now,” the unicorn said, a scowl growing on his face.

“I don’t feed and positive emotions, which is why I was banished. I was a ‘mistake’ and Chrysalis couldn’t let me stay. I felt all your negative energy, and thought I would take a bite. Most nights unfortunately you didn’t sleep. Tonight I got desperate and was hungry. When you fell asleep, made my move. So much for that plan,” she said, the smile dying. The unicorn lowered the sword; see no deception in the changelings speak.

“How do I know that your telling me the truth?”

“I’m captured in a cage, you have a sword pointed at me, and you relaxed your guard. That means you already know I’m not lying,” Scarlet said, her expression staying the same now. The unicorn shook his head, and lowered the sword completely.

“Fine. I think you should leave,” the unicorn said, levitating the cage off the changeling.

“And why is that? I can help you. I will feed off of your negative energies. When we changelings feed, we physically remove the energy from our food. It will help us both,” Scarlet said, the unicorn’s ears perking up. He thought about it for a second before answering.

“What else can you help me with? Removing my anger and hate won’t be enough; can you forage and light a fire? Do you have any skills in survival?” the unicorn asked, needing to know if she would be helpful.

“Of course, else I would have died long ago. You learn quickly while banished,” Scarlet said.

“Fuck, fine you can come with me. And since we’ll be traveling together, I’m Anthony. Got exiled from Equestria. Don’t ask why or how, that is the past and none of your business. Maybe at a later date,” Anthony said, earning a smile from the changeling.

“Thank you for allowing me to come with you. Would it be fine if I fed now?” She asked, licking her lips lightly. Anthony sighed and nodded, not wanting his new ally to starve to death. Scarlet walked up to him and changed back into changeling form. Her fangs bare and ready dug them into his flesh, right in the middle of his neck. He released a miniscule pain note before silencing himself completely.

The changeling fed for about five minutes before releasing her victim. Scarlet had a smile on her lips and blood on her fangs. She changed back into the unicorn form and looked at her food. Anthony had two holes in his neck, that both started to heal automatically, surprising the changeling. Sweat covered Anthony’s brow.

“Don’t worry; I won’t need to eat every day, or as much every time. Most times it’s only a few seconds for a quick feed about once a week. You should start feeling happier after a few feeding. I had no clue how much negative energy you had though,” Scarlet said, still looking at the recovering unicorn.

“That’s okay; I just didn’t think it would hurt so much at first. And I noticed you eyeing the bite marks. I have a spell on me that increase my healing by two hundred percent. I think though that sleep is a must now,” Anthony said, his neck no longer bleeding and his eyes drooping. Scarlet nodded and the two walked over to the canopy. They quickly entered the dream realm, and the first time in a long while that Anthony had been able to get a peaceful nights rest.

In Canterlot castle, a certain princess was sitting in the guest dinning hall, sipping some tea and reading reports. The night alicorn sat alone at a table in a far corner, hoping none saw her. This was not the case as one unicorn walked up to her and spoke.

“Princess Luna, may I speak with you for a moment?” the white unicorn asked. Luna looked up from the forms she had and found her guest to be Shining Armor. She nodded in approval and he took a seat. “Cadance asked me to speak with you. She knows how hard this can be, and wants to let you know that her door is open at all times. We are sorry for what happened, and no matter how many times we say it, we will say it again. And I’m sorry I was so hard on him and…” Luna raised hoof to silence him.

“I know Shining, and I just want to be called Luna. I will go see Cadance later; I just need to finish this report. One good thing about being pregnant is that I don’t need to show up for night court, all the papers are sent directly to me. But you are right, this has been a difficult six months without him,” Luna said, offering a weak smile to the captain of the guard. He just nodded his head and left the princess to her work. He felt awkward every time the two talked about him.

Luna sighed and continued on reading the papers. She finished quickly and headed to go see her niece. It had been a long time since Luna had talked to Cadance, and even longer since she talked to Celestia. The two regal sisters had only talked once, and that ended with Celestia feeling horrible for leaving Luna without a father for her child. The hadn’t spoken since.

Luna knocked on the door, and was allowed in. Cadance’s room was nice and large enough for the married couple. Pink curtains and bed sheet blended well with the white walls and furniture. Cadance was on her bed reading when the night princess walked in.

“Ah, Luna. I knew having Shining talk to you would get you here,” Cadance said, all proud of her plan. Luna lightly giggled and walked up to her niece. The two shared a hug and Luna laid next to Cadance on the bed, minding her growing belly.

“So, what’s been happening with you and Shining Armor?” Luna asked, not wanting to speak about Him. Cadance recognized this, but knew to go along with it.

“Nothing much, we were thinking of having a foal, but didn’t know if we should have one this early in our marriage. What do you think though, should we?” Cadance asked, knowing this might get her to open up some. Luna thought about it for a second, before delivering her answer.

“Yes, I think you two should. Both of you love foals, and have much practice with them. And you’ll have somepony there to help you along the way. And so would I, after I have mine,” Luna said, telling Cadance what everypony knew; that Luna was going to have her child, with or without Him around.

That had been an issue some of the ponies had been arguing about for the last few months. Why Luna was pregnant and not married? She had lost a lot of ponies to her night court and received hate mail from ponies all over Equestria. She also received letters from mares that supported her and her decision and were willing to lend any assistance to their princess if she needed it. Cadance found a very strong mare in Luna.

“Thanks, I think we will. And I noticed how you are very certain that you will be able to care for your foal when born.”

“Of course, I know by that time, I won’t be alone. I know he will be back by that time. Blackwing and his forces are massing in the outer most sector of Equestria, just far enough away to be of no threat now. His army will march soon, and Anthony will return. I just know it,” Luna said, placing a hoof on her necklace. Cadance knew that Anthony had given it to her, and she hasn’t removed it since then, not even to shower. It was quite beautiful.

“I can see why you’re so confident, but exile is a very dangerous place. I know he’s strong and intelligent, but even the bravest guards fear the Outlands and beyond. I just hope you aren’t psyching yourself up to find he didn’t make it. I just don’t want to see you get hurt,” Cadance said, nuzzling her aunt.

“I know, but I have faith in him. His magic is stronger then you think. He has a large hidden reserve, larger than even mine. And his thought process is fast, so nothing won’t be left out of any plan he has. I also have a little secret that will help, but it has to remain a secret. I would love to tell you, but no pony except me and him know. I know you’ve been worrying about me, and I love you for it, but I will be fine. I might come by every so often though. I do get lonely,” Luna said, returning her niece’s nuzzle. The two conversed for a few more minutes before parting ways. The night had gotten just a little brighter for Luna, knowing that she now had somepony who she can talk to.

The sun rose above the horizon to greet the new day, but a certain unicorn had beaten it. Anthony was up and packing the wagon up. Scarlet still slept, not wanting to wake so early. Anthony allowed her to sleep a little longer, choosing to instead eat one of the apples he harvested from few trees two mile out. He had enough food to last him about two more months if he didn’t replenish it by then. He felt it time to wake Scarlet.

“Rise and shine, we need to leave now,” Anthony spoke to the sleeping changeling, who rolled to the other side.

“Five more minutes,” she groaned back at the unicorn. Anthony shook his head and sighed.

“Okay, your choose,” and he proceeded to take the wash water from this morning and dump it on her. Scarlet jumped up looked around in flurry to discover who would dare wake her from her sleep. The bucket hung in the air, held by the unicorn’s magic, over where Scarlet had been. She scowled at the unicorn, causing him to bust out laughing. Scarlet scowled harder.

“That’s not funny,” she said, shaking to try and dry off. A towel floated over to her, which she yanked free of its magical hold. After dry she looked at the unicorn and sighed. “I deserve that, didn’t I?”

“Yes, yes you did. Now let’s move, we’ve staid in one spot too long,” the unicorn said. Scarlet sighed and handed the towel back. Anthony opened a door on the wagon and stuffed it in there. He then hitched himself to the wagon and off they went.

The wagon at first glance was just a normal holding wagon, but at closer inspection proved other wise. First were the tires, covered with a small layer of metal and four of the eight spokes made of metal. On side of the wagon was covered by the canopy, hiding different hanging tools: shovels, rakes, wood, lamps, etc. The exposed side had a long bag hanging that was made of thick cloth. Inside was dark and hiding something. Scarlet trotted up to Anthony and tried to get information out of him.

“So, how long have been out here?” Anthony sighed; he knew this would happen eventually.

“Six months.”

“Damn, now I feel ancient. Been out here for eight years, and have met every type of pony possible. Most that come out here actually got lost and can’t find their way back. Most of the time I just follow them and feed on them at night,” Scarlet said. “But there was one time I hung with them. Do you want to hear about it?”

The unicorn sighed. This changeling has been alone for a long while hasn’t talked with anypony in just as long. He nodded, knowing that this will probably not be a happy story.

“This was a few years ago…”

A changeling was sleeping in a tree, high above any ground predators and camouflaged in the leaves. The day was breezy from the dragons up in the air, flying circles and being assholes. It was the time when the dragons started knocking different ponies into the Outlands for fun. Celestia had dealt with that soon after, but that still hadn’t prevented the dragons from sending a pegasus right into the tree the changeling slept in.

The crash and snapping of branches woke the changeling from her slumber. The pegasus was terrified, causing her to turn whiter then she already was. The pegasus’s mane was flat on her head and back, giving the impression of no hair, had it been white and not silver. The changeling instantly felt all the terror in the mare, and had to control herself to not fed then and there. So instead she jumped down in unicorn form and introduced herself.

“Oh my, are you all right?” the changeling/unicorn asked, acting surprised and shocked. The pegasus looked up and instantly hugged the unicorn. The red coat got a little redder.

“Oh, yes. I’m fine now that I know I’m not the only one out here. I’m Silver Lining. Who are you?” the pegasus asked. The enthusiasm hid the sadness and terror well.

“I am Scarlet. I have actually been out here for a while. I see the dragons had their way with you,” Scarlet said, pointing up at the sky. Silver Lining looked up and nodded her head in agreement.

“Ya, but I’m fine. Nothing damaging, just lost now. Do you know the way back to Cloudsdale?” Silver asked the changeling.

“No, I don’t. Sorry, but what might interest you is if we staid together. I’ve been out here for a while now, so I know how to survive. I can help you any way possible,” Scarlet said, quickly gaining the trust of the unsuspecting pegasus.

“O.K. when do we start?”

“Now,” Scarlet said, taking the pegasus and pulling her closer herself. Scarlet then transformed and fed on the pegasus. Silver’s eyes grew wide, but she couldn’t do anything as Scarlet had injected her with an immobilization poison. Temporary and effective.

Scarlet didn’t feed long and released the pegasus, who was still immobile. Scarlet placed a kiss on the pegasus’s lips and stepped back a little, back in the unicorn form.

“I’m sorry for not telling you, but all that negative energy was taunting me. I am not like all of the other changelings. I only feed off of the negative energies and enjoy being in pony form. This is the best way possible to explain it to you. And you will notice a lack of negative thoughts along with a lack of negative impulses. I will protect you, and all I ask is you allow me to feed off of you,” Scarlet said, the scared pegasus was still on the ground. The terror in her eyes was replaced by understanding. “Excellent, now all we need to do is wait for the poison to wear off, which should be another half-hour. In the mean time, I think I might want a little something extra.”

Scarlet then took the immobile, but easily movable mare and placed her on her back. Scarlet spread Silver’s legs and exposed the mare hood for her to see. A wide smile covered Scarlet’s face as she leaned down and began to lightly lick the mare’s flower. Silver’s eyes went wide will terror, before being replaced with bliss.

Scarlet was methodical in her pleasuring. She took her tongue and started to do broad strokes on the sensitive sex, which with every passing second got wet from the juices Silver produced. Scarlet was more than happy to lap these up. The changeling then stuck her entire muzzle into the mare, using her tongue to stimulate the inside of the mare. If Silver could move, her back would be arched and panting heavily.

Scarlet kept inside the pegasus, pleasuring her in ways thought unimaginable to the virgin mare. Scarlet would occasionally grind her teeth on Silver’s clitoris, sending more pleasure through the mare. The pony though would not last long under the control of a master, or in this case a mistress.

Silver’s climax came, sending her love juice all over Scarlet’s face. The juices just flowed with pegasus not in control of her own body, but didn’t mind now that she had experienced her first orgasm that she did not induce. The ground was wet with love juice, but Scarlet was busy cleaning her face with her own tongue.

“Hmm, I didn’t know you would taste this good. I think we should do this more often, don’t you?” Scarlet asked the immobile pegasus, seeing she was still recovering mentally from her orgasm. “I’ll ask again when you can move, now to get you to safety.”

Scarlet levitated the mare with her red aura and placed her in the tree she was sleeping in earlier. Scarlet climbed up and laid next to her, wrapping her hooves around the pegasus. Silver was happy for the first time in a long time. Somepony who she had just met actually just took her virginity and she didn’t care. This pony was also still with her and protecting her. Nothing could have made this moment any sweeter, and she fell asleep in the hooves of her new lover.

Scarlet took this time to pause in her story. The pair had walked a way and Anthony thought it time to take a water break. Scarlet didn’t mind, he had been carrying the wagon all morning. He needed food, and levitating an apple out of his wagon would suffice until dinner that night. Anthony did have a few questions.

“Didn’t picture you a lesbian?” Anthony said, earning a giggle from Scarlet.

“Actually I can go either way. And I have before. Both genders are equally fuckable,” Scarlet said, giving a seductive smile to the unicorn.

“No. I have somepony back home, so no,” Anthony said, turning down her offer fast.

“Whatever, you’ll change later.”

“And I thought you fed on negative energy, so why did you make her feel good?” Anthony asked, curiosity taking over.

“Negative energy is almost impossible to dispose of. It can be hidden and stored away, but never gotten rid of. Only a few individuals or specific changeling can do this. You could be happy as a bee, but if a hint of negativity exists in you, I can find it. And when anybody is happy, they are less likely to chase you away,” Scarlet replied, earning a nod from the unicorn.

“Makes sense. I would have done that had I found anypony out here willing to do so. It is very empty of intelligent life, mostly manticores, hydras, and diamond dogs,” Anthony said, making Scarlet giggle at the last part.

“Ya, ain’t that the truth. Ready to get going?”

“Sure, just let me get hitched up,” and the unicorn re-hitched himself to the wagon. The two now continued on their march, and the story.

Silver Lining woke up in the tree, feeling as though she was waking up from the most terrifying then wonderful dream. As her mind reconnected to her body, she felt hooves wrapped around her. A warm body was pressed against her back, and when she stirred the one behind her awoke.

“Oh, good. You’re awake, thought you were going to sleep all the way to the night,” a mare behind her said. Silver then had the flood of temporarily forgotten memories return to her. She turned around and found the same red unicorn mare from earlier. Silver leaned over and placed a kiss on the unicorn’s muzzle.

“I wouldn’t do that, considering who I get to wake up to,” Silver said, smiling into the eyes of the changeling. Scarlet giggled and nuzzled to the pegasus. The two would have stayed that way, had it not been for the pegasus’s lack of breakfast. Silver’s stomach growled loudly and startled Scarlet.

“Oops, I think I forgot to eat earlier. Do you know where I can find some food?” Scarlet was stumped. She hadn’t seen anyone in the Outlands for about two weeks, and Scarlet didn’t need to eat regular food.

“Um, I don’t know. I haven’t seen anyone out, so I guess we have to forage for food. I can help you find non-poisonous plants, but other than that I don’t know,” Scarlet admitted, hanging her head slightly.

“Okay, so let’s get started,” Silver stated, very certain that the two can do it. The rest of the afternoon was spent finding food. They succeeded on finding enough food to feed Silver for a few weeks.

Dinner arrived and Silver enjoyed her meal of wild carrots and broccoli. After she finished, Silver looked at Scarlet with a pang of fear in her eyes. This obviously made Scarlet worry.

“What’s wrong, Silver? Scarlet asked, placing herself closer to the pegasus.

‘Don’t you need to eat?” Silver asked, remembering how much it at first hurt.

“No, I don’t need to eat for another few days. I don’t need to eat all the time like you do. But I think we can do something else, if you know what I mean,” Scarlet teased, leaning in close and lightly nibbling her ear. Silver squeaked, causing Scarlet to giggle. The changeling placed a kiss on the pegasus’s lips, and gained the excited response of the mare.

Silver pushed her tongue through her teeth and into the opening of the changeling. The oral organ was greeted by the changeling’s, and the two dance around each other to find a dominate one. The battle lasted for a while with the defeat of Silver, but she didn’t mind. Scarlet stuck her tongue as far down Silver’s throat as possible without choking her. The two had to finally break to refill their lungs with lost breath.

Silver wanted to return the favor from earlier, but being inexperienced didn’t help her confidence. The pegasus did what her mind told her what to do. Silver kissed the changeling and pushed forward, placing the red changeling on her back. With her on top, silver slowly lowered her body no top of Scarlet’s, leaving her ass in the air. That also lowered into Scarlet’s now spread legs. Silver touched her clitoris to Scarlet’s and moaned. Scarlet moved her hips up to meet the sex with hers.

Silver, still trying to be dominate, started to grind her bud onto Scarlet’s. Scarlet released a moan and allowed Silver to do what was doing. Silver’s wings puffed out and stayed strong, startling her, but making Scarlet giggle in between moans. Silver really began grinding and started to huff from the effort and pleasure. Moans started filling the night air from the two in their bliss.

The pegasus was first to climax, being new at sex. Scarlet though wasn’t able to hold on when she felt her lover’s juices soak her pussy to a level she could accomplish on her own. They both scream in ecstasy right after one another. Silver fell onto Scarlet’s chest and attempted to fill her lungs, the changeling doing the same.

“Wow that was amazing. I didn’t know it would feel that good,” Silver said, now wrapped in the hooves of her lover. Scarlet only smiled and nodded, too proud to admit that was some of the best sex she has had in a long while. And from a virgin none the less. The night was starting to get cold and so the two retired into the trees, feeding off the warmth of each other to fight the cold.

“I’ll never leave you, Silver.” were the last words out of Scarlet’s mouth that night.

Anthony and Scarlet had stopped by a pond for the evening, know it was to dangerous to travel at night. Anthony had a fire going as Scarlet prepared the canopy. The meal tonight was vegetable soup with a side of wild berries and black beans. Scarlet had eaten yesterday and didn’t need to that night. Scarlet looked at the wagon and wondered why they didn’t sleep in there.

“Because, if I was to be attacked, I need a way out. A confined space with one door is not good. The space is also filled with supplies for another situation that is coming soon. And I love to just stare at the moon and stars at night, very peaceful,” Anthony said, sighing as he looked back up at the sky. Tears started to form in his eyes, but he shut it off quickly.

“You miss somepony, don’t you?” Scarlet asked real concern in her voice.

“Ya, I do. She was the last one I saw before leaving, and she will be the first one I see when I return,” Anthony said, raising his head a little.

“And who is this special mare?” Scarlet asked, hoping to get his past open to her.

“Somepony you don’t know. She recently returned from a banishment, like past two years,” Anthony said, keeping his past hidden.

“It’s Princess Luna, isn’t it?” Scarlet said.

“How did you guess that?” the unicorn question.

“The night lasted longer then normal, and some of the ponies I’ve ran into have talked about a new princess. It’s not hard to put two and two together,” the changeling replied, a seductive smile on her face.

“Should have known that. Can we just get to sleep now, that wagon is heavy?” Anthony said, placing his dishes in the area on his wagon and rolled out the mat.

“Fine, good night,” Scarlet said, finding a soft spot on the ground. Anthony laid his head down on the mat and attempted sleep. Tonight it eluded him though.

The time ticked by slowly, and not a thing moved in the night. The only noise was that of the dying fire. Anthony sat in front of it, away from the canopy. He had given up sleep after Scarlet had fallen asleep and was not waking up. The night air was cool, cooler than normal. Fall was coming, and the nights would get longer and the days shorter. Temperatures would fall.

Anthony was tired, but his mind would not allow him to sleep. Memories of the past and what was to come haunted him, and kept him up. Scarlet had started to shiver and Anthony placed his blanket on her, he wasn’t going to use it. The unicorn sat in silence for the rest of the night, knowing tomorrow was coming fast.

The morning came and showed the sun coming above the horizon. Anthony had packed up his wagon and hitched it to himself, and was ready to go. Scarlet had washed up; her mane was messy and needed cleaning. The two continued on the journey of unknown destinations, Scarlet continued her story with Silver Lining…

About a month had gone by for the marefriends, officially staying together. They had not left the clearing; for they had it protected from wild beasts and had plenty of food for Silver. The sun was down and a fire crackled in front of the two.

“I think I would like it if you came and lived with me back in Equestria,” Silver said, ending the silence. Scarlet wasn’t surprised, but still was shocked by what she said.

“Do you really think I could come home with you?”

“Of course, we’re marefriends aren’t we? And I think that you’ll enjoy it there, we won’t have to be careful when we have sex,” Silver replied, reassuring her marefriend.

“Okay, but what direction do we go? I have no idea on how to get to Equestria,” Scarlet admitted. She was reluctant on leaving; she had been out in the wilds for years now.

“That’s fine, I have to do is use the position of the sun and go south. Tomorrow we can head out at dawn, when the sun is rising from the east,” Silver stated, beaming with joy. Scarlet sighed and mentally admitted that Silver knew her stuff. Now for another issue.

“What about when I need to feed? I don’t think the inhabitants in your town would be too happy with a changeling feeding on them. And you won’t be able to sustain me forever. Most of the negative is out of you, and I don’t want to see you miserable ever,” Scarlet said, leaning back from her marefriend. Silver hung her head a little before perking right back up.

“They won’t need to know you’re a changeling. When somepony is sleeping and mad, you can go in and feed then. Just use the same poison you used on me,” the pegasus said, grinning the whole time. The idea was solid and had no foreseeable holes in it.

“Than it’s settled, we’ll head back top Equestria in the morning,” Scarlet declared, hugging Silver. The two finished their hug and turned in for the night. Tomorrow would hold a new adventure.

The dawn came without incident, and the two lovers had everything packed for the journey to their new home. They had everything in saddle bags and away they went. The morning was cool, and the two had no problems the whole day. Night through brought something new for them.

The mares had stopped and set up camp. They needed wood for a fire, so Scarlet set off to find some. Silver stayed behind and set up a small shelter. Scarlet had to travel far for wood, and left Silver alone for quite a while. She finally found enough wood, and returned to their camp. That was when a shrill scream pierced the quiet air. Scarlet didn’t even take time to process it; she dropped the wood and ran right back to Silver. She wished she hadn’t.

Silver was on the ground, held down by a diamond dog. Two other diamond dogs stood on either side of the pegasus, each having their erections in full view. The one on Silver was raping her, pushing in deeper with each thrust. He had her mouth covered with his paw. Scarlet just stood there, not knowing what to do. That was a mistake.

“Well, what do we have? Another mare wishing to please her new masters,” one of the diamond dogs said, snapping the changeling out of her trance. She looked at the dogs and a fire burned in her that was hotter than any other heat. She was pissed.

Scarlet was going to blast them with a blast of magic, had the diamond dogs just stood there. They didn’t though and had her in a headlock in no time. Scarlet squirmed and yelled, attempting to escape her captors.

“No point in squirming, we’re not going to let you go. I think that you might even enjoy it after a while,” the dog said, a smile on his face. Scarlet’s eyes went wide, and used the only thing she could think of. A green fire engulfed her, changing her back into a changeling. This released her.

Scarlet was now out for blood. The two in front of her now branded knives and the third had just cumed in Silver.

“Now this is interesting, have you had sex with a changeling?” lefty asked.

“No, but I hear they like it ruff.”

“Let’s find out,” lefty said, leaping at the changeling. Scarlet was ready and flew out of reach. The second one threw a rock at her, which missed. Scarlet flew down and bit the first dog and paralyzed him. This left her open and allowed the second dog to knock her unconscious. The world turned black as the last site Scarlet witnessed was the second diamond dog begin to mounting her.

Scarlet woke hours later to find a sharp pain in both her pussy and anus. She didn’t dare look, knowing it was something she didn’t wish to see. What she did see was worse.

Silver lay on the ground, surrounded by poudle after puddle of cum. There was sperm all over the mare as well; in her mouth, vag, anus, all over. It was like a storm of cum had rained on her for hours. Scarlet tried to move, but her body was in too much pain.

Shit, I hope they didn’t use any of the holes in my legs to pleasure their sick minds. As if by command, she felt the pain in her back legs, confirming the fact. Scarlet wasn’t able to move, and didn’t wish to be awake now, but she needed to be there when Silver woke. She changed back into the unicorn, making her legs feel better, and waited. She waited tell dawn for the pegasus to wake.

Silver looked up and spotted Scarlet, and tried to gasp, but her thought was too sore.

“Don’t try to talk. I’m sorry Silver, I tried to help. Don’t look at yourself, it’s not pretty. I’d go get water, but I am not leaving you ever again,” Scarlet told Silver. The pegasus just stared, the situation sinking in her mind. Not a single tear fell from Silver’s eye. Scarlet knew why too.

No, this can’t happen. Just when I find true love, they get raped by some diamond dogs and are traumatized for life. Scarlet thought. Silver wasn’t going to be able to left alone again, not even for a second. Scarlet wished she could cry, but the situation demanded she be the strong one.

The changeling stood up and walked over to Silver, but was pushed away when she tried to comfort the pegasus. Scarlet knew that now, Silver had given up. A walking shell of the former you. And she had rejected all reality. It would have been better had the diamond dogs killed her.

Scarlet hung her head and left, leaving the spirit less pegasus behind. Scarlet vowed on that day that she would not get attached or travel with another ever again.

“And I guess I broke that promise,” Scarlet finished her story, the two walking along a game trail. Anthony was listening to the story, and had no idea on what to say. The silence washed over the two travelers.

“I’m sorry,” Anthony said finally, turning toward his guest. She looked at him and started to cry. He stopped the wagon. Quickly unhitching himself and trotting over to Scarlet. He grabbed her and held her close. She hadn’t been able to properly deal with her issues, and now after years of not talking about it she was able to. A great burden had just been lifted off of her shoulders. She cried for a good while before finally removing herself from the unicorn.

“Thank you. I almost forgot Silver and haven’t been able to in a while. I forgot how happy we had been together,” Scarlet said, drying her eyes with a hoof. Anthony’s hoof. She blushed when she saw that, but didn’t let go of it and he didn’t take it away. “Do you believe it’s possible to fall in love twice?”

“Yes, why do you ask?” Anthony replied.

“Because I think I’m falling in love, with you.” and Scarlet leaned in and kissed Anthony on the lips.

A/N: this was actually difficult to write, because the whole time i knew what was going to happen, and it made me cry a little. and i know what will be happening later too, so that made me even more sad. why brain do you torture me so?!
