Seth laughed hysterically at the dead fluffy,always enjoying the mamma recording trick.He walked over to the corpse of the scardey foal,nudging it with his foot.It rolled over,it’s small tongue protruding ghoulishly from it’s mouth.No doubt about it,the baby had died from the fall.Seth picked the body up and went over to the fridge and opened it up.It was empty inside,save for a pack of garbage bags.He took one out and put the cadaver in it,tying it off and then placing the bag inside the freezer section.
He then turned his attention to Raptor.The pegasus had began to cry after Seth had switched off the MP3 player,his brief hope now quickly dwindling."MUMMAH!!! *huuu…huuu…huuu…huuu…WEWE MUMMAH!!!*chirp…*chirp…*huuu…huuu…huuu…PWEASE NU WEEB’ BABBEH!!!..*chirp…*huuu…huuu…*chirp…"Raptor had slumped over,crying into his hooves at the edge of the table.
Seth walked over to Raptor,the sobbing pegasus,placing his hand lightly on his mane.Raptor jumped at first,screaming lightly,but quickly gave in,starting to sob and coo lightly.He looked up at Seth,his eyes full of tears and confusion."…*chirp…*chirp…*huuu…huuu…wewe mummah?*chirp…why weeb’ babbeh…*huuu…huuu…*chirp…"The pegasus was sullen and sobbing,needing to know why he was alone,why he was abandoned."She left you Raptor…"Seth said,still petting the now bawling fluffy.He nuzzled against Seth’s hand,desperate for any attention,any love he could get.“She realized that you didn’t care about that baby,that you just watched and let it die…”
Raptor looked down at that,clearly ashamed that his mother saw him be so uncaring and cowardly.“*huuu…huuu…huuu…WAPTOW SOWWY!!!..huuu…huuu…*chirp…*chirp…*huuu…huuu…MUMMAH!!!NU WEEB’ BABBEH!!! *huuu…huuu…huuu…*chirp…*chirp…WAPTOW GUD FWUFFY!!!” Seth smiled as he picked up the sobbing and chirping pegasus.He walked him over to the utility sink.As Raptor lifted his head off of Seth’s shoulder,the fluffy saw the sink and began to flail and scream, his wings flapping wildly.
"NUUUUUUU!!!BA’ WAWA PWACE!!!WAWA BA’ FO’ FWUFFIES!!!NUUUUUUUU!!!"Raptor struggled against Seth as he firmly grasped the fluffy and put him in the massive sink.The sink was metal and rusted,smelling of old water and blood.There was a short chain,no more than two inches that Seth has welded into the sink’s interior base,ending in a thick and heavy manacle.Raptor stood on his back hooves,his front hooves banging desperately against the walls of the sink.“*SCREEEEEEEE!!! WET WAPTOW OWT’!!! *SCREEEEE!!! WAWA BA’FO’FWUFFIES!!! PWEASE!!!NU WIKE!!! NU WIKE!!! *SCREEEEE!!!”
Seth slapped him in the face,causing him to tumble against the sink’s bottom,crying and chirping.Seth dragged Raptor to the center of the sink by his tail,causing the pegasus to scream and chirp in a panic.He attached the manacle to his back hoof and affixed it firmly.Raptor pulled against it again and again,screaming as he tried to somehow escape the bad water place.He finally fell face first,the chain pulling his leg out from under him as he ran.Raptor sniffled and looked up at Seth,his eyes imploring the monster for some level of compassion,of mercy.
"Pwease mistuh…*chirp…wet Waptow gu…*chirp…am gud fwuffy…nu wan huwties…*chirp…*chirp…nu wan foreba sweepies…"The pegasus was weeping now,tears running down his filthy face.Seth ignored him and pulled a horizontal metal lever below the sink,blocking the drain.The noise was loud,like metal being pulled angily against itself,causing Raptor to shriek in panic,then start to chirp and cry even harder.Seth then lightly turned on the tap,causing a small stream of water to begin to fall inches away from Raptor’s face.His terror was instant and he began to scream.
"*SCREEEEEEE!!! NUUUUUUU!!! WAWA BA’ FO’ FWUFFIES!!! *SCREEEEEEEE!!! HEWP BABBEH!!! SAB BABBEH!!!*SCREEEEEEEE!!!"Seth smiled,slowly putting away his tools and cleaning up slightly,the pegasus’ begging slowly becoming unintelligible as he began to panic and just started to scream as loudly as he could.Seth finished running some cleaner over the blood on his table and board and then ran a varnishing rag over it a few times when he heard Raptor start to cough and spit up water.
Seth chuckled lightly and walked back over,seeing that the water was now up to his chin.Raptor had his head awkwardly tilted up,trying to keep above the water,occasionally trying to scream,only to get a mouth full of water for his protests.Seth turned the tap off,giggling at the pegasus,it’s useless wings flapping as it struggled to stay above the water.Raptor couldn’t speak,his mouth sputtering out water,but his eyes met’s Seth’s,pleading for an end to his terror.
Seth watched him for nearly ten minutes,as the pegasus began to get tired,it’s body tensed as high as it could go against his chained hoof.Raptor would droop slightly and then straighten out,repeating the process several times,the interval between falling and rising again becoming faster and faster as his weak muscles began to give out.Finally,the pegasus was too tired,too worn out to struggle and he succumbed to his exhaustion,dropping below the water’s surface.Seth smiled and hit the drain lever,the water level starting to lower as he reached in and lifted Raptor’s head above the surface,the pegasus coughing up water and shivering from either fear or the cold,possibly both.As the water drained away,Seth undid the manacle and carried the now wheezing and chirping fluffy to the work table.He put a new sheet of wax paper for Raptor to lay on.As the pegasus began to whimper and chirp,shivering and squirming,Seth grabbed an old clean up towel and put it over the pathetic creature.Exceptionally pleased with how the session had gone,Seth left,shutting the light off as he shut the door.
Seth made his way to his living room.He had some work to do before he could let Cyclops and her foals come in here,let alone stay unsupervised.He first grabbed his flatscreen and hefted it into his room.He didn’t have anywhere to put it for actual viewing in there but it hardly mattered.With the fluffies here he wouldn’t have the time and he wouldn’t need the entertainment.Then he took his couch and moved it from it’s normal position near the center of the room to against the wall opposite the entrance.
He took the coffee table and the two smaller stands he kept next to the couch and also took them to his room for now.Seth looked at the room,now looking bare.A good start.He then went to his room and got a tarp from out of his closet.He unfolded it and put it over the floor,picking the corner opposite where his couch now was.He then went to his secondary utility drawer and got some red duct tape,marking the outer most edges of the tarp.
Finally,he put a bowl of food and water,as well as an older fluffy bed and a litterbox onto the makeshift nest.Happy with the room,he got his old fluffy gate and hooked it up,blocking the entrance/exit to the living room.Cyclops wouldn’t be able to climb over or fit through it,and if her foals did,well then Seth would deal with it appropriately.He then made his way to the guest bathroom.
Seth entered the bathroom quietly and without setting the light any higher.He listened at the entrance,trying to muffle the sound of the door as he opened it slowly.No crying or sobbing,so they must all be alseep.He carefully crept towards the bathtub and slowly drew the curtain.Cyclops was sleeping,with her purple and adopted green foal curled up in her hooves and Kickball sleeping on her mane.Even as she slept,Seth could see Kickball’s breathing being sharp and she jerked occasionally as she inhaled.Seth very gently took the green and purple,using his hands to lightly scoop them up and put them very carefully onto Cyclops’ back.Besides some very light wiggling and a few brief but quiet chirps,they had stayed asleep.He then put his hands under Cyclops and hoisted her up slowly,propmting her to sigh and flutter her eye for a moment before falling back asleep.Seth then walked the mother and her babies to the living room.
Seth stepped over the fluffy gate and put Cyclops and her babies on the bed he had prepared earlier.Seth then started to pet her lightly and sweetly started to call her name,almost in a sing,songish way."Cyclops…Cyclops sweety…wake up hon…"Her eye slowly opened and she saw Seth,prompting a smile and a little sigh of relief."Hewwo daddeh. Cy’cwops sowwy sweep su wong…"She looked around and looked confused but not frightened or panicked.“Wewe Cy’cwops?Dis wivin’ woom?”
Seth was impressed.She had remembered what he told her earlier,even where he was taking her.If she made it through the next few days,he was keeping her,end of story."That’s exactly right sweetheart."He ruffled her mane and started to pet her lightly,prompting some light nuzzling.She clearly could tell her babies were on her neck and didn’t want to endanger them.Seth withdrew his hand and stood up,prompting Cyclops to lay on her side and look up at him,her head slightly tilted.“Now Cyclops,we need to talk about the rules of the house…”
Seth cleared his throat just as she started to talk."Daddeh tawkin’ bout’ gud poopies?"Damn she was smart."Well yes sweety,that’s part of it."He pointed to the litterbox."That’s where you and the babies will make good poopies and good pees.Any poopies or pees out of the litterbox are BAD poopies or pees and whoever did it is a BAD fluffy."He could see Cyclops visibly recoil with each use of the word bad,and she was clearly shaken by the words “bad fluffy”.
Seth continued explaining."I will feed you twice a day.You never need to ask for food or water,as I will keep the bowls filled enough for you.Do not ask or beg for anything.Any fluffy that begs for what they already have or don’t need is a BAD fluffy."She winced again."The living room has been made into a safe room for now,but you and your foals are not to go beyond this red tape."He pointed at the tape he used to mark the outer edges of the tarp."Any fluffy that crossed that tape is a…"He looked down at Cyclops,giving her a deliberately impatient look.“Well?”
Cyclops looked up at Seth,clearly saddened a bit."Dat fwuffy am…am bad…"Seth leaned down and lightly petted her head."Very good girl."Now I know there isn’t much here yet but if you and the babies behave,I’ll get you some toys to play with."Cyclops smiled at Seth,clearly pleased that she could garner rewards for good behavior.“Cy’cwops be gud.An’ Cy’cwops hewp babbehs be gud.”
Seth smiled at her.Ok sweety.You go ahead and eat and feed your babies.I’ll be by later to check on you."Cyclops looked sullen but smiled as she took her foals off her back one by one until only Kickball remained on her back."Otay babbehs…time fo’ miwkies."She used her hooves to softly guide them to her teats as they latched and began to feed.She started to sing the mamma song to them,sounding much happier and enthusiastic than before.Almost touched by the display,Seth smiled and left the living room.
Seth went to his room and gathered the spray bottle of Starburst’s pheromones and Ash’s blood,as well as a decent sized jar from his closet.He took them into the kitchen and opened the junk drawer.He instantly heard the cries of the swaddled talkie babies.They were chirping and peeping up a storm and as the drawer opened,it only increased in pace.
"*chirp…*chirp…Wuv Ash…*chirp…*chirp…"She must be hungry,thought Seth.He grabbed her,taking off her paper towel.She hugged his hand the moment her front hooves were freed…"*chirp…*chirp…Wuv Ash…*chirp…*chirp…Wuv Ash…Wuv Ash…"She was sharp for a foal,as she could tell that saying it made Seth happy,even if she didn’t know why exactly.He held her up to his face,smiling at her before dropping her in the jar.She yelped at the small fall,peeping and chirping when she realized not only was she no longer getting huggies,but now she was trapped in an invisible sorrybox.“*chirp…*chirp…hewp…*chirp…*chirp…*chirp…hewp ba’beh…*chirp…*chirp…”
She tried to stand,her legs still not adept at holding her body up and she tapped at the inside of the jar,desperately trying to get Seth’s attention.Seth took the pheromone spray bottle and took off the sprayer lid.He poured the contents into the jar,directly over the yellow mare,iliciting confused and panicked chirps and peeps as the slightly viscious fluid clung to her fur and then came up to her mid-leg.He then opened the blood vial and poured in onto the mix as well,the little fluffies eyes going wide when it saw the blood,it’s chirps now scared and desperate.Seth lightly chuckled.It clearly knew what that was,somehow.
He then filled the spray bottle with a little warm water,swishing it about before he emptied it into the jar,the foul mixture now coming up to the shivering mare’s chest.Seth went to the medicine cabinent in the guest bathroom and grabbed a cotton swab,using it to swirl and mix the contents,occasionally tilting the jar to cover the foal.
She screamed everytime the swab came near her,thinking it was alive and going to attack her.This pleased Seth a great deal,prompting him to scare her,saying:"I’m gonna get you"in a deep voice as it stirred near her.After a few minutes,the foal was breathing hard and had to lie down,the reddish tinged muck now up to her chin as she tried to keep her head as high as possible.Putting the jar down for a moment,he made the other talkie foal a bottle,taking of it’s swaddling cloth and bringing the cushion out,replacing it’s warm water.The brown talkie was scared,not understanding what was happening to the yellow mare.“*chirp…*chirp…*chirp…*chirp…huwtie ba’…*chirp…*chirp…*chirp…”
Seth finished the milk and fed the brown foal,making sure that the yellow mare could see it clearly.She got up with renewed vigor and looked at Seth and then the bottle, standing again and rapping against the jar."…Wuv Ash…*chirp…*chirp…Wuv Ash…"Seth went out of his way to ignore her,pleased as she kept saying it over and over until the brown foal had his fill and then he put the bottle in the sink and the foal back in the drawer on the cushion.
Once both was out of sight,she stopped using words and just made peeps and chirps,crying as she tapped on the jar,finally falling back down in the muck.Seth took the jar and emptied a small bit of the sloshing goop,just enough that if she laid down,she’d be at no risk of drowning.Besides,she had a healthy coating of the mix and he simply wanted her to marinate in it until he was ready for Ash.As he washed the bowl and reprepared the warming cushion,he stole a glance towards the living room,having to lean outward to see the gate.Sure enough,he saw the flicker of a green tail moving away.Cyclops had heard it all but not been able to see anything.Seth only smiled, thinking of how he’d punish her later.
Cyclops was happily feeding her babies,overjoyed at her new saferoom.As she sang to her babies,the troubles of yesterday nearly forgotten,Kickball slowly crawled down her fluff.She went over to her mother’s teat,only to find that the green foal was already feeding.She looked to her mother,her eye closed and singing happily and began to wheeze,trying desperately to voice her displeasure.Clearly not able to get her mother’s attention,Kickball grew frustrated and hungrier,trying to scream and yell,first at her mother,but then at the green baby,the one that was her not brother.Finally,she crept up behind the green foal and bit him,grasping his tail and trying to pull him off of her mother.
The green foal yelped and then began to chirp and peep as Kickball dragged him away,flipping him over and then bringing her hooves up above him.Cyclops had only noticed once the foal began to chirp,opening her eye and looking in that direction."Babbeh fuww?"She then saw Kickball,pushing her baby to the ground and trying to stomp on him.Cyclops swiped at Kickball with her hoof,causing the little mare to roll several times towards the fluffy gate at the entrance of the living room."Ba’ babbeh!Nu gib sowwy hoofsies to oda’ fwuffies!"Cyclops started to lick the trembling green foal and started to try to calm him down."Babbeh am otay…mummeh hewe.Nu hab scardies."She finally began to calm the poor foal,allowing it to rest.
It wasn’t until a few minutes later after her purple foal had finished eating when she turned her attention to Kickball.She stood up and looked towards where she had punished the abusive foal."Kik’baw…it am Kik’baw’s time fo’ miwkies…"Thats when Cyclops noticed that Kickball was still over next to the gate,either too hurt or too scared to get back up.It then dawned on Cyclops that she had pushed Kickball out past the red tape,the red tape that fluffies weren’t supposed to cross.
Cyclops gasped and looked around,making sure that Seth wasn’t nearby.After checking and then double checking,she ran over to Kickball,grabbing the small foal by her scruff.As she turned to return to her nest,she heard a noise from outside her saferoom.It sounded like…babies.Cyclops went up to the gate,trying her best to look past it,but there were walls in the way,blocking where the panicked chirps and peeps were coming from.She started to butt against the gate lightly,trying to move it so she could help the hurty babies when she heard her new daddy.Scared for the hurty babies but far more scared for her babies and herself,Cyclops took Kickball and ran back to the tarp.
Placing the brown foal back in the drawer, it chirped and peeped up at Seth, confused as to why the yellow foal wasn’t with it. It shook and quivered, clearly scared to be alone. "*chirp…*chirp…nee’ siss’e…*chirp…*chirp…"Closing the drawer,Seth left the yellow mare to sit in the jar,now only sobbing and chirping lightly.He made his way to his room,opening his bifold closet doors.He started to pull out several paper bags that he had purchased a few weeks earlier,each filled to the brim with varied fireworks.Seth didn’t like to use them early but for his plans with Ash and the yellow mare required opening a pack of M-80’s before the big day.He ripped the top of the plastic with his teeth and pulled out two of the small but dangerous explosives."One for each…"Seth muttered to himself.
He then went to his dresser drawer and opened the top drawer.He rifled through his semi-folded clothing to grab a small box,no larger than a wallet.Inside were probably one of the most expensive abuse tools that Seth owned.Indeed he had only discovered them near the end of the previous year.He opened the top of the box to reveal a series of short,black needles,each with a silver microchip,only slightly bigger than a match’s head.These needles were made of a material that would spark and give off a small flame when the microchip was triggered.
Each chip had a set of numbers and letters across it,a unique dummy account for texting only.If any message was sent to the correct combination,it would signal the chip.Seth had bought nearly a dozen,the thought of setting something flammable aflame or detonating something explosive from afar to be intriguing.He took out one,replacing them within the container and in turn replacing it within his dresser drawer.He carefully read out the displayed character’s along the bottom of the small chip,reading them aloud as he put them into his phone:"X58-332Q-PT9-934A…"Good now only a message would be required,and it would activate.He then took one of the M-80’s and held it firmly,forcing the needle into the explosive until it was fully buried within.Seth shook it lightly,satisfied that it wasn’t going to come loose.He put it back within his pocket and left his room.
Seth gathered the kitchen garbage,as the jarred yellow mare sobbed,her crying only briefly interupted when she stood up and tapped against the jar in some vain hope of getting Seth’s attention.As he took the bag,replaced it,and then left the kitchen,all without even acknowledging her,she slowly slumped back down,quietly crying and chirping.
Seth went to his hobby room,flicking on the lightswitch.He saw Raptor lying down behind his carrier,lightly sobbing and clearly trying not to be seen."*huuu…huuu…*chirp…munstah com’ fo’ Waptow…*huuu…huuu…huuu…*chirp…gon’ gib huwties an’ foweba sweepies…*huuu…huuu…*chirp…pwease mistuh…nu huwties Waptow…"Seth was surprised,figuring the fluffy would have fallen in the dark and broken it’s legs or worse.
Seth opted to ignore Raptor for now,letting the pegasus stir in his own juices for a bit.Carrying the bag of refuse from the kitchen,he went to his refrigerator and opened it, retrieving the sealed bag with the dead foal and dropping it into the kitchen garbage.He tied it shut and left the room,switching off the light and leaving Raptor to contemplate his fate.
Making his way out the backdoor, Seth walked out to the dumpster near his apartment. As he walked up, opening the bin to dump his garbage and the dead foal, he saw bits of garbage lightly strewn about outside the dumpster, some of which were partially gnawed on. Seth smiled to himself. Clearly a few fluffies had made the mistake of grazing near here, and he would make sure they regretted it for the rest of their short, short lives.
