Papilone 4+5+END

>Drip drip drop and a gurgle as you stand under the shower and let the water pool up in your open mouth for as long as you can hold your breath
>And then you tilt your head down and let it fall onto the floor and join the rest of the water on its joyride to the drain
>Yup, you are taking a shower, your pastel pink coat now looking a few hue’s darker due to being wet, your mane swept back with a hoof to stay away from your face and eyes, your tail sticking to your flank
>you have long since washed yourself, this is just extra shower time where you just enjoy the feeling of warm water and ponder about the secrets of life and universe
>Or well, stand around empty minded
>You reach and grab a certain thing off of the plastic basket where you have all your shampoos and whatnot and give it a quick rinse just in case, and then place the wobbly thing between your thighs in a hold so it’s in the proper place
>And then stand there, letting it hang, moving your body a little to make it wiggle
>Stallions really be walking around wit things like these attached to them
>But putting the dildo aside, you’re not going to use that now, you look out the little window and at the pretty moonlight shining in from above
>The window is very high up and near the ceiling, so you don’t have to worry about being seen from the outside as you shower
>Or so you thought, for a face pops up as a pony peeks in, making you let out a rather loud and surprised / frightened scream as you slip and fall onto your butt
>you try to take flight, but wet wings = water spraying everywhere and no flight due to all the excess weight being wet adds, so you don’t manage to jump up and look out from the window and see who it was, peeking in
>But just then, you hear commotion on the outside and you recognize one of the voices to belong to Proper Hooves, so you quickly wrap a towel around your mane and rush out, still moist
>”N-NO LET ME GO!”
>”Stop Struggling!”
>You see Proper Hooves on top of Caramel Carrot, detaining him having pushed him down
>Both notice you and pause, their faces slowly going red
“Caramel Carrot? you were the one who looked in through my shower room window?”
>Proper Hooves clears his throat
>”Well...more than that, should you worry about your appearance?”
>You tilt your head to the side in a confused manner
>Carrot top nods, trying his hardest to not look ye also look at you
>”Y-yeah...oh good Celestia you look exactly like her, I mean you’re completely naked!”
>But...ponies are always naked? For the most part at least...
“But aren’t I always naked?”
>”But you’re still fresh from the shower, and what did you mean by looking exactly like her, what are you talking about you old carrot growing stallion?”
>Proper Hooves then looks back at you
>”I’ll keep him detained so you can make yourself more presentable, and then we can talk”
>You head into your house, remove the towel on your head, placing it on a chair, and come right back outside, where a small crowd has formed around the scene
>”Oh good, now you’re decent”
>You roll your eyes and proper Hooves, having now cuffed the old stallion, continues talking
>”I saw this pony peeking in through your window, and then running off”
“I was taking a shower and somepony was watching me, was that...you?”
>Caramel Carrot makes a face full of regret and guilt
>”Y-yes...I just...you look so much like her if she ever grew up, and I just had to see”
>Proper Hooves tightens his hold on the pony
>”Did you try and attack her as well?”
>Caramel Carrot shakes his head frantically
>”No I loved her, we were lovers! I would never...I mean she looks just like her and-”
>Proper Hooves interrupts Caramel Carrot
>”Lovers? But you just said something about if she grew up, and I don’t recall you are any kinds of lovers with Papilone”
>Proper Hooves looks at you and you nod
“N-no, I just sometimes get free carrots from him...I don’t know what is happening”
>Caramel Carrot looks alarmed and quickly starts talking again
>”N-no not you, but her...”
>Caramel Carrot goes silent and Proper Hooves lifts him up
>”Ok, you are coming down to the station with me”
>He escorts the elder stallion to the police building with you following in tow, mostly to get out from that small crowd looking at the three of you
>All the while Caramel carrot has gone completely silent
>Could...Could he be the one who attacked you, dressed as a yak? it makes no sense, and you would not think he’d be that strong or fast, but he did appear quite disturbing, rambling on about weird stuff and looking like a pony he loved, you think?
>It just makes no sense...
>You stayed at the station for a little while, confirming a few thins with an officer pony while Proper Hooves interrogated Caramel Carrot
>Soon enough Proper Hooves came back, looking a bit exhausted
>”I can’t get a proper straight answer out of that stallion...”
“Did he say why he was trying to see me shower?”
>Proper Hooves sits down at his desk and sighs
>”Apparently you remind him of a filly he was in love with”
>You make a confused face
“I look like his childhood crush”
>Proper Hooves shakes his head
>”Adulthood love”
>You pause
”Oh...”
>Proper Hooves nods
>”Yeah, I would not be surprised if it was him who attacked you, he does not seem to be all there, mentally”
>Well, you always knew he was a bit awkward, but...no, it does not really sound like him
>”Well anyway, I’ll keep grilling him for answers, you should head home now”
>For some reason he extend his hoof and pets your head a few times
>it’s...reassuring but odd
>Which he also seems to take notice of as he quickly pulls his hoof back as if it was burned by fire
>He lets out an awkward chuckle
>”My wife did always say I was bad at consoling others”
>You let out a light giggle
“Yeah, I was not sure what was going on in there”
>He nods
>”I guess that is the price to pay for being such a gruff and serious policepony”
>you say your goodbyes to one another and you start heading back home, head swarming as you keep second guessing yourself if Caramel Carrot could be the pony who tried to attack and possibly murder you
>but...why would he want to murder a pony who looks like his past lover in the first place?


>It’s...been a few days since the peeping incident
>Caramel Carrot was freed from all suspicion of having been the pony who dressed up as a yak and tried to kill you due to having back injuries
>Apparently he can barely even farm and sell his carrots, but he’s been hiding it
>But that was not the only thing he’s been hiding that has come into public knowledge
>The press got a hold of some facts and now it’s known throughout Hollow Shades that he was romantically, and sexually involved with an orphan filly when he was younger, but still an adult
>Yup, Caramel Carrot was boinking really, really fresh pussy while being at least twice the age of that filly poon
>But said filly disappeared off of the face of Hollow Shades one day, probably moving over onto some other town to try her luck in or just heading out to explore the world, leaving Caramel Carrot heartbroken
>And he was trying to peep on you because you really remind him of her, apparently as he puts it, your looks, your voice, even your name because she was called Papi
>Apparently that is also why he was being extra awkward around you and giving you free stuff
>Trying to probably relive some of his past, hopefully he was not hoping to get romantically involved with you, that would have been really disgusting, especially now as you know what you know
>Well, it did not appear romantic in nature at least to you, and you hope that is how it is
>you pass by where his stall used to be, now trashed and broken
>The general public has not been very kind to him ever since and he’s truly become an outcast, refusing to leave his home all together for the most part
>but, one has to make bread, as he walks up to the market area of Hollow Shades with just a few carrots, avoiding looking at others and others avoid looking at him
>At least the nice ponies, some point and laugh and whisper amongst each other while pointing at him
>And he sheds a tear as he sees the state of his stall and gets to work, trying to put it back together the best he can while a few passing by ponies tell him to just leave town for good
>A few ponies do go to help him though, but that is the last you pay attention to him as you look back at Silkura, whom you were walking around with
>You did not feel that safe by yourself and she came to visit you
>”I still can’t believe it Papilone, and he even tried to peek up on you?”
>you nod to Silkura, the friendly pastel green coated bat pony mare
“I can’t believe it either, to think that he was not nice to me from the bottom of his heart, but because I looked like his underage lover”
>Silkura frowns a little
>”Do you really think that was what it was?”
>You pause for a moment
>it is true that you are supposed to be really angry at him and hate his guts now, but...you just can’t bring yourself to do that
>your opinion of him has gone down definitely but not as much as you think is proper under the circumstances
“I’m...”
>Silkura pets your back
>”but if you don’t want to talk about it I understand, we can talk about...oh, your cutie mark for example, any idea what it means yet? it’s like an arrow going up, kind of like wind...wind and up, maybe you’re good at winding up spring?”
>She squees and makes an awkward smile and you giggle a little
>Which makes her blush a bit, but then gasp as she seems to realize something
>”I hate to go now, especially when you’re going through so much at the moment but I really have to meet a client that I forgot all about!”
>You give Silkura a little hug
“it’s ok, I understand”
>you two say your brief goodbyes and she goes on her way and you turn around and head off to-
>Your eyes meet with Caramel Carrots and he freezes up, and you turn around yet again, not wanting to go that way right now
>And you are facing the way Silkura is going into, and going the same way would be awkward, so you choose the third option
>Which leads you right past that odd spot of town
>A completely regular spot at the side of the usual road, nothing there just grass, yet every time you pass it you feel a chill, and just kinda bad
>The air feels oddly suffocating and you usually either hurry past it or avoid it all together
>Can’t even remember when was the last time you passed by it, but you do get the feeling you have thought about it at some point in the recent past, like if you were a protagonist in fiction and explaining stuff to the reader
>What an odd thought
>Was it always this bad? You feel like you’re sweating and you’re just walking towards the spot
>No, this feels more bad than it usually does, your throat starts to feel dry and itchy, and you start to gasp for breath lightly
>halfway there before you reach it and can walk past it, you don’t trust your wings enough to take flight and zoom past it now, you feel so cramped and wrong
>You fail to miss Caramel Carrot taking notice of this and watching you as you walk slower and slower, hooves a bit shaky
>your head feel fuzzy, in a bad way, there’s not enough oxygen, are you having a panic attack or something? You’ve never had one, you feel feverish, why tonight of all nights are you feeling this icky
>You can’t really hear much what is happening and still seem oblivious to your surroundings, failing to notice that both Caramel Carrot and Proper Hooves are now following you, when did, where did he come from?
>but you are now at the spot, and your head feels like it is about to split open
>And you’re breathing a lot but it feels like you’re not inhaling any oxygen, your hooves are weak and everything is wrong
>you collapse, your hooves giving out from under you and Caramel Carrot freezes up, and Proper Hooves says something to him, making him flinch and rushes towards you
>you look back at the earth, finding your hoof having dug onto it a little without you noticing, and before you even know what you are doing you have moved some ground away
>And then more, and more, digging feverishly, but at the same time feeling better but you are about to run out of air...but why, you are breathing in air, so why are you...
>Your head goes blank and you dig with all your might, causing a bit of a scene around you without noticing it
>By the time Proper Hooves grabs onto you your ears barely registering him asking if you’re ok, as your hoof suddenly touches something and you grab onto it
>Proper Hooves pulls you up, but at the same time you pull out what you are holding on to, a piece of hemp cloth? A...bag?
>it rips at the same time as it slips out from the ground and opens up, and suddenly you feel fine, finally feeling like you can breathe again
>you can hear normal, now aware of the collective gasp, and see normal instead of everything appearing dark and out of focus
>And you now clearly register what you see before you, what came out of the bag that got pulled up
>A once dead body, now all bones
>The bones of what looks like a small, young bat pony
>Somepony suddenly collapses next to you, Caramel Carrot, tears starting to swell up in his eyes
>”it’s...it’s her...it’s got to be her...”
>He starts to cry rather loudly, grabbing onto the skull and hugging it
>At a loss for words or what is happening, you look at Proper Hooves but find him already staring at you
>But his expression is cold...for a split second you thought you were looking at a different pony
>”This...just what is this?”
>He notices you staring and quickly puts you down and starts to police ponies around, getting the scene under control, and then grabs you
>”And you too are coming to the station, how did you know to dig in this exact spot?”
>you just sit there on the ground, confused yet somehow oddly relieved albeit in a shock from all of this just happening so suddenly
>Why did you start to dig right here, and why was there a dead body in there?


>You’re once again beneath the shower, ready to head off to bed after it
>You finally got back from the police station after being questioned about discovering the dead body of a bat filly in a sack, buried underground
>It’s been a very taxing late night, and it’s soon going to be daytime so what’s best than falling asleep for now, especially when you are so tired that such a situation is not making you head swarm with questions
>you just need to close your eyes and not think of anything right now
>you are unsure what that was when you found the body, but ever since it feels like a great deal of weight has been lifted off of your shoulders, a weight you did not even know was there
>Or that might just be the shock if you are in one, you did get a blanket over you and warm cocoa when being questioned
>They let Caramel Carrot go as well, there is no telling who’s body it is, even if he’s somehow convinced that it’s the filly he loved
>But that is the last thing you think as you feel pain at the back of your head and fall unconscious
>...ugh...can’t move, head hurts, what’s happening?
>your eyes fly open and you find yourself sitting in a chair, your chair, bound
>”So you’re awake”
>you know that voice, you recognize it way before you even realize who the pony is that you are looking at
“Proper Hooves? Wh...what is this, why am I bound?”
>Did something happen, is he here to rescue you?
>He sighs and rubs his temple
>”You know, I was going to let you be, but then you had to go and do something like that”
>You make a confused face and struggle a little against your binds
“What I did...the body?”
>He nods
>”Ever since you wound up in Hollow Shades I have had a bad feeling, it’s been eating me up on the inside, like a primal instinct of survival”
“Did you tie me up?”
>He nods and flashes a knife
>”And don’t try to scream for help, you’ll be dead before you know it.”
>He sighs again and sits down on a chair he sets in front of you
>”You know, I don’t even know why it all boiled over on that day when I just could not keep it in check and tried to kill you”
>your eyes fly wide open
>He was the one who tried to...but why?
>”And I was going to never loose control like that ever again, but then you dug up that body and I knew my gut instinct was right all along, this mare should not be allowed to exist for the sake of myself and all I have build in Hollow Shades”
>Your mind has gone blank, you don’t understand at all what’s happening right now
“But...why?”
>”I guess I do owe you an explanation by now”
>He shakes his head slowly and seems to contemplate on something silently while the dread of the whole situation finally starts to sink in fully
>”You see, I killed that filly, not intentionally but it did happen, and I could not have let that stop me from doing what I need to do, I am a good pony, and the countless services I have done to Hollow Shades”
>you gasp
“W-was it an accident or...”
>”It was way back in the day, I was but a fresh, young police officer, determined to make a difference and be a good, proper police officer”
>Trying to live up to his name you see
>”And I was aware what was going on between Caramel Carrot and some random orphan filly, he was getting all kinds of strung along by that little harlot, exchanging sexual services to him while he bought her anything she wanted or needed, and catered to every whim”
>he sighs
>”So I went and tried talking with her, and the nerve on this little slut, she started to seduce ME!”
>You jolt a little at his outburst and proper Hooves hangs his head low in regret
>”And then it just...happened, I don’t know why, but before I knew it, in that secluded area of town I realized had just had sex with her, dirty, icky, illegal sex with a dirty minor off of the streets. And in that moment I realized I could not let this kind of a slipup stop me from being able to properly serve this town like I am destined to, so I grabbed a nearby object and hit her on the head, cracking her skull and killing her on the spot, still locked together with her from the waist down”
>you gulp and keep trying to somehow sneakily get free, but you’re tied up tightly and he seems to take notice, pointing the knife at you again, but then putting it down
>”You can struggle all you want, but you won’t get out of those binds, I have nothing to fear. I hid the body in a bag, got rid of all the evidence and that was it, it was over as quickly as it began”
“You’re a murderer!”
>He shakes his head
>”I simply did what I felt needed to be done for the good of everypony, and look at how far I have gotten in my career, how much good I have done in my life for this town, all the criminals I have put away, all the justice I have upheld, all the ponies I have helped, the happiness i have given to my wife and even our son being brought into this world, all of that would never had happened if that little slut would have existed as a spec of dirt upon me and all that I am, I did the right thing”
>He gets up and menacingly walks towards you
>”And ever since, I have made sure that I won’t slip up ever again, to atone for what I did, but you...you are such an unnerving image of her I can’t help but to want to remove you just like I removed her, and now that you uncovered the body I realize I was right all along and should not have hesitated and question my sanity on that night I tried to kill you, I could have flown after you, abandon my poor, in the heat of a moment disguise and ended you, but I questioned myself and my gut instinct and gave up”
>he chuckles, making your skin crawl, it might be Proper Hooves in front of you, but it feels like you are watching a completely different pony
>”But not anymore, I will kill you in here right now, and then pin the blame on Caramel carrot and frame his suicide, not being able to live with killing yet again, and remove this constant dread I feel for my own future”
>He raises up the knife but-
>”n-NO!”
>Suddenly, Caramel Carrot lunges at him, knocking him to the floor and the chair you’re bound onto as ell in the process
>”It was you all along! You killed her all long! I loved her!”
>Also you make a mental note to get better locks, this is two ponies breaking into your home during one morning
>But the fall broke the chair a little, suddenly giving you much more wiggling room from your ropes as the two of them struggle, Caramel Carrot angrily yelling at Proper Hooves who keeps fighting him off
>You manage to get a hoof free and then another, quickly undoing your binds but then freezing and looking up as you hear a scream of pain that turns into gurgling
>Proper Hooves has his back turned to you, and on the floor in front of him lies Caramel carrot, a pool of blood pooling beneath him and the knife sticking out from his throat
>”No...You were no supposed to die here! Think Proper, think! You can still save this, you can still frame it like you planned...”
>He rambles on, too preoccupied with how he is now going to make this look like Caramel Carrot was the culprit al along to notice you slowly getting up, holding your breath to the point of it being painful, but you don’t want to draw any attention to yourself
>You get up and grab a cast iron frying pan slowly, very slowly, and just in time as he quickly turns around and his eyes go wide as you instantly, out of reflex hit him on the face with it as hard as you can and he sees the pan coming at him, but not fast enough to defend against it
>He falls down and you drop the pan, flying out into the early morning and right towards the police office to tell them what just happened
>The rest of it, is a bit hazy
>You mostly sat in the station and they brought in the still alive, but swollen faced Proper Hooves, all locked up
>He confessed everything, knowing that there was no way to get himself out of the situation he was in
>You don’t know where he was send off after that, but the ponies at the station told you that he’d be locked up for life
>The body of Caramel Carrot and the nameless orphan filly were both given a proper burial
>You never saw Proper Hooves wife and child ever again, but you hear they moved away from Hollow Shades
>And since then, life has been normal thankfully once the whole thing got buried under other news stories and happenings over time, taking attention away from you instead of you being the center of it
>You did have some nightmares about it, and you can’t help but to wonder who this filly is that you supposedly looked so much alike, or why this all even happened, but you don’t feel...bad
>But if nothing else, these nights you don’t wear headphones and listen to music if you’re all alone somewhere, even if it’s your favorite artist
>Speaking of her, a new album has been released so you think you’ll buy that and then head home and listen to it, you have a good amount of spending money since just recently Silkura had a big lingerie fashion show in her boutique and you were rocking the runway with a few of her friends, who you should try to get to know as well somenight
>But this was your adventure, in all of its ups and downs
