I stand there, stunned by the sudden change. I was, just moments before, with Tavi. Where did this begin, what parts were real? Am I still in the midst of dying?

"First of all, let's get some things straight: you did escape me once, that is true, but now I have you again. This time I will not let you go. I will drag you back to where you belong, so come on. I will not give you a choice." A click finally grabs my attention; a collar was around my neck, and Mariana was holding the end of a chain. "There, now you are chained up like the animal you are." She then backs up a bit before continuing on. "Alright, a good owner keeps her pet exercised." As she begins to walk away, my voice finally returns to me.

"Why are you back? I defeated you. I won and reclaimed my life!" I shout.

"Such a misconception, you merely bought some time. With the coming of your family you began to doubt yourself, to doubt your relationship, to doubt your 'Tavi'. At first I had to break down your little delusion of being happy. There is nothing you can do but accept this, and live as my little pet. I will keep you healthy and safe, so come along little shit. Mommy wants to find something fun to do."

She reaches the end of the chain, but even though I do not wish to walk, I am forced to join her. I struggle and try to escape, to break this damn chain, but am unable to do so. She disappears into darkness, and I soon join her. As I disappear into the darkness, I feel the memories of my previous trip flood into my head. The feeling of destroying all that I love is only amplified, now I have two foals to lose as well.

It feels like three hours later, and all I have done is follow Mariana against my will, and she has done some rather terrible things. She has broken my left arm, ripped out my balls, impaled me with several spikes, and has eaten my right eye, all of which grow back and fix themselves so she can do it again. She is happily humming a tune that sounds surprisingly like a dirge. It sickens me. She keeps dragging me along, and every once in a while she stops, turns around, and does something new. I'm once again a back seat passenger. I want help. I try to yell for help, but my mouth doesn't move.

At one point she stops and has me lick her heels clean, then she has me move up until I'm eating her out. I have no choice, she has fun and I have a heel carving out my body. At one point we come across a bed, so she decides it's time to have more fun. She crawls onto the bed, sits on her knees with her upper body supported by her arms, she faces me and beckons me forward. After I get to her she uses her teeth to bring down my zipper and uses her lips to unbutton my pants. As they fall to the ground she begins to lick at my boxers. For the first time there's no pain or suffering, just sheer pleasure.

I have never felt this much pleasure before: it's serene, absolute, perfect. Her tongue pushes makes me hard through my boxers, my mind is beginning to blank, but she never quite lets me get there. Then, after a small amount of time she begins using her teeth and pulls my boxers down. She breathes onto me, projecting warm air onto my fully erect member.

"Hmmhmhmhm, seems you are already so excited, you conceited dog. I guess you deserve a reward. Just remember, from this point forward, this is what you can expect if you remain here and obedient to me." As she finishes I try to speak, but words do not form, I merely babble unintelligibly. "How cute, you are trying to speak. Now hush, I am going to have some fun." As she says this she places the tip of her tongue at the base of my shaft, and then she slowly brings it up, as she reaches the tip my mind blanks and I release myself.

"Such a naughty boy, but this is only the beginning." She says this, and as I finish releasing she brings her mouth to my tip. "This is a special service. I won't do it often, unless you really make me happy." She brings her lips to my tip and kisses me. I feel it, I feel the amazing force on me. I immediately go from being in remission, to full mast in an instant. Never fully breaking contact she brings out her tongue, which then begins to encircle me, adding new sensations to the already insane levels of pleasure. Surely, this is what they mean by between heaven and hell. The one who took away everything I had, and destroyed me with drugs and psychological torture, was now granting me something that was indisputably pure pleasure. It feels amazing, but only Tavi is allowed to touch me like this. I want to fight back, but she still controls me. She forces me to accept this pleasure, throwing my mind into the depths of consciousness as the pleasure grows. Soon enough, I once again release myself into her waiting mouth.

She takes my full load, she seems to be in ecstasy as she tastes it. She shows me the full load, closes her mouth and swallows. Even if it isn't Tavi, it is still sexy as hell. She smiles at me. "We are still nowhere near done yet little shit. Tell you what, if you are also a very good boy I'll even use your actual name, a fitting reward for you hmm?" She says this as she returns her face to my shaft. She licks her lips and brings herself even closer. She opens her mouth and says "Bon appétit Sam!"

Her mouth instantly engulfs me. A new pleasure flows through me; this time, my member once again rigid, the sight of her doing what she did with my semen having already stimulated me too much. I can feel my mind leaving me. She swirls her tongue around me and adds a new stimulation: suction. She does everything; from a gentle suck to a near perfect vacuum. She changes the pressure and alternates the rate at which she uses her tongue and mouth, creating an amazing sensation of ever lasting pleasure. Then she adds one more trick to send me over the edge: vibrations. She uses her voice to add sensations to me that I have certainly never felt. I release for the third time due to the action against me and once again fill her mouth. This time she leaves me in her mouth and she swallows to keep up with my release. It is now that I notice the amount I release has not changed from the first to the third shot. 'If this were Octavia, I would stay here forever.'

A moment later, and I finish my release. "Oh boy, so much of your delicious semen. I wonder how much I will get this time? This is the best I have for this part, but remember: there is more to come." She licks her lips, takes a few deep breaths and swallows a few times. She then opens her mouth, pulls her head back, and takes me deep into her throat. She holds me there, giving me the greatest pleasure yet. She takes my balls into her hands and massages them gently. After a moment her tongue starts to move, and she soon adds the sucking motion from before and adds her voice for even more stimulation. The combined force of all of this quickly forces me to reach my next orgasm. Not a minute has passed since my last one I am pushed to the edge once again. I feel my balls contract and soon my load goes deep down her throat. As I come down from my bliss, she begins to chuckle with her throat, adding to the feeling as I sent load after load of my semen directly into her stomach.

'If only she were able to do something like this. Wait, why can't I remember her name? I love her, why can't I-' My thoughts are interrupted as my body begins to move. Mariana has turned around and offers herself to me.

"Come on, Sam, prove to me that you can satisfy me and you will have one more reward." She says with a sultry voice. She spreads herself apart as she draws me forward. She has me line myself up before she speaks again. "Come on, stir me up and give me some fun as well." I then plunge in as hard as I can. Still I am unable to go as deep as I want, and a cry of pleasure and pain comes from Mariana as I breach her barrier. My body quakes as her tight walls squeeze me down. She does not let my body rest as she makes me draw back and push a little further in.

After a few more thrusts I reach as far as I am able within her, full immersed in her cunt. The feeling is beyond description; and her body forces me to accept all the pleasure she can give. Suddenly my body moves, I draw back a little before rehilting deep inside. I soon draw back again and my body feels the pleasure of such tight walls. I feel her body accepting me again as I push in. After a moment I begin to draw back further and push back into her body over and over again. I am soon beginning to ram my full length in and out of her constantly. The sound of the impact getting louder and louder. She begins to truly moan and groan at the feeling, her juices leaking out at an astonishing rate. An amazing level of pleasure enters my body, the feeling is unreal.

Soon she has me flip her. Before I was ramming her from on top, now I ram into her from below. Something springs forth from my mind. This feels familiar, like I have done this before. 'Why does this feel so familiar, its like I am forgetting something important. I also feel like I am slipping away, what is-' before I can finish the thought, another familiar feeling washes over me. "Mari, I'm getting close." She brings herself crashing down on top of me, keeping up her movements while forcing me to fill her again and again. "Mari, I'm about to-"

"Do it, cum inside, let me feel you do it inside." The look in her eye is all I need. I feel a welling within me and I release deep inside of her. I moan and suddenly her insides tighten because of her orgasm. We stay like that, locked in ecstasy for an eternity until finally, the euphoria subsides. Soon she is straddling me again, and she grabs a hold of me, lining me up with another entrance. She starts to sit down but winces in pain. I grab her arm and speak.

"Mari, if it isn't fun for both of us, it isn't fun at all." She looks at me with a surprised expression. Then she just smiles, pulls me out, and places me at her love tunnel once again.

"Thank you, lover." She says as she impales herself on me. "I'll have to reward you." She leans back down and kisses me again. She starts to move herself on me faster and faster. Eventually the pace she reaches causes the bed to creak and groan under our momentum. She gets me right on the verge of release, then slows down. She even stops, merely kissing me passionately. After a moment she moves quickly again, constantly leaving me on the edge of orgasm. Finally, she pulls away and says "No more, fill me with your cum and quench the fire within me."

That did it, my floodgates open and I release deep inside of Mari. I go for longer then usual, sending stream after stream of my sperm into Tavi until I lose my breath. Only belatedly did I feel Mari's walls clenching me. The feeling was surreal. Finally, I have control of myself as she sits up. She faces me and smiles. "Kiss me, and an eternity of this is what you can expect. What do you say, lover?" She says this, her voice seems so lovely, so perfect. I lean forward, preparing to ensnare her in a kiss.

A moment before contact, I hear something. Footsteps, no, hoofsteps. My mind jolts; Mariana moves forward, attempting to ensnare me, but before she can, a fist intercepts her face. The fist is covered in fur, and it is attached to a being who at first is unidentifiable. It suddenly clicks.

"Tavi?" I say weakly. She looks back at me, before ensnaring me in a hug.

"Oh thank goodness you are here. There is no time to explain, but Luna sent me into your dream to find and help you. Come on, let's get you out of here." She is crying, her tears of joy and sorrow coursing down her face. She holds me and I remember. My foggy mind starts to clear, when another voice enters the scene.

"You think you can save him? He is merely a fool, one who has no right to himself. Now give me back my toy and leave, you aren't welcome here you fucking horse!"

"I will not leave the one I love here with something like you!" Tavi is visibly angry, yet Mariana is not scared; she actually seem thrilled. Mariana smiles maliciously.

"Then I guess I will have two toys to play with." Suddenly, tentacles extend from the darkness and grab a hold of Tavi. Instantly her clothes are ripped apart as tentacles savagely enter her vagina and anus. She moans loudly, a mix of pain and forced pleasure as she bleeds from the sudden intrusion.

"You should just be quiet and accept it, then you won't have to suffer; you can just be in eternal bliss with this little shit. You can experience great happiness like this forever." The smile grows wider as Tavi is unable to answer, her body being stimulated from hoof to breast. She struggles, but she can't break free. I simply lie on the floor, unable to move as Tavi is destroyed in front of me.

"Now then little shit, if you want me to leave her alone, then I suggest you become my obedient slave here and now. Then I will allow her and her two unborn monsters live."

'What did she say?'

"Well, I am being awfully generous here. Simply devote yourself to me, come over here and kiss me, and I will guarantee the safety of the little monster whore/horse thing and her unborn monsters. They benefit as well, they won't have a pathetic piece of shit like you messing things up!"

I start to stand up and approach Mariana. She looks at me with that confident grin. She puckers her lips and I meet them gladly. What meets with her lips though are not mine, but my fist. I send her flying across the darkness. She stops and rights herself in mid-air.

"Oh, and just what do you think you are doing?" Her grin disappears into a disapproving stare. I walk back towards Tavi and start ripping the tentacles off of her body. "Hey, I said just wha-"

"Shut the fuck up you whore!" I yell in her direction, sending all of my anger and rage right at her. For the first time in my life, I see fear in Mariana. I turn back and rip the now unmoving tentacles away from Tavi. Her clothes materialize upon her as the last of them disappears. I grab Tavi's hand and move toward the image of Mariana.

"I am done with you. Before I felt alone, I doubted myself even when I faced you; I had courage then, but now I have a more powerful weapon. I have the one I love here with me. I will not let you hurt her anymore or in any way. If I just let you have your way, I would cause Tavi pain and worry that I will not let her experience. This is my mare, this is my life. AND YOU AREN'T APART OF IT ANYMORE!"

Mariana begins to hyperventilate, the darkness that once claimed me now swirls around her feet as it encroaches on her. She panics and screams for help, asking me to save her. I see true fear in her as she is enveloped in the darkness. It forms a cocoon around her as I look back to Tavi.

"Hey Tavi, I have a question for you." Tavi turns to look at me her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Will you marry me?" Her eyes widen. As tears fall from her eyes she leans forward and kisses me, and I accept it with all of my heart. We kiss for an instant, or maybe an eternity, but when our lips part the cocoon opens up in a blinding flash of light. Tavi disappears, but before I am completely blinded by the light I can make out an image in the light, at its epicenter, where Mariana was devoured a new figure stands. I barely have time to make out the figure. Tavi is in my heart now completely, there is no more room for Mariana. A smile crosses my face as I think to myself, 'I am free!'. A moment later, and the light consumes me as well, returning me into the land of the living.

Author's Notes:

note: thanks to quantum physics it is impossible to create a perfect vacuum, this is because matter can literally defy physics and pass through any barrier by borrowing energy from its FUTURE self. It can also say "Fuck You" and simply follow Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle and be in multiple places at once.

Once again, I want to give a big thanks to Deadpony for the excellent work on today's chapter, without them, this would be a grammatical nightmare that bores you into sleep.
