Voodoo

 

Chipo was a young zebra filly who was born in Equestria shortly after her mother, Ekua migrated there. She lived in an apartment whithin the city of Trottingham.

 

Today was school day and Chipo was getting ready to leave.

 

First, she went to her mother’s room to bid her farewell. It was a bit strange for Ekua to not see the filly off herself, but she left the dining table without saying a word after serving her daughter’s breakfast.

 

Upon entering Ekua's room, Chipo noticed that her mother was working on a doll that looked eerily similar to her. Chipo wasn't too wierded out by this as Ekua had an odd job and hobby: she would make potions, charms, various trinkets and would occasionally even chant to them in the zebra language.

 

This was zebra magic, something that Ekua was a skilled practitioner of and enjoyed using it for seemingly many things. Chipo found it fascinating and often thought of asking her mother to teach her how to use more of it then the little she already has, but for now, it was time to go to school.

 

”I’m leaving, mom.” Said Chipo.

 

Ekua simply nodded while tying a small strand of what looked to be Chipo’s mane around the unfinished doll. Maybe it was a good luck charm for her daughter.

 

Chipo knew that zebra magic often required concentration so she understood her mother’s silence. She was curious about what Ekua was making, but swallowed it as she didn’t want to be late. She could always ask about it later anyways sp, With a quick “bye!” she rushed out of the apartment and made her way to school.

 

On the way there, she met with one of her friends: and earth pony filly named Lemon Balm. The two of them quickly started conversing. Eventually, Lemon brought up something that Chipo would have preferred to forget about entirely.

 

”So, about the bathroom incident.”

Chipo groaned. “Ugh, don’t remind of that.”

”Does your mom know about it?”

”No and I want to keep it that way.”

Lemon nodded. She would feel the exact same way in Chipo’s place.

 

The “incident” Lemon was referring to was when Chipo got into a fight in the school bathroom with another one of her classmates: Light Step over a can of silly string. It was quite silly, really but their fight resulted in the entire bathroom being sprayed with the substance and one of the hoof dryers breaking off the wall before Lemon, who was also there managed to stop them. It was a miracle that nopony heard the fight or saw the three fillies running away from the crime scene.

 

This all happened a few days ago and Chipo was just glad that neither the teachers nor her mother ever found out about it. Lemon didn’t bring it up again as the two continued their journey to the school building.

 

The first classes were standard fare for Chipo, although she noticed that Light Step kept giving her these strange looks that seemed almost guild ridden.

 

”Good!” Chipo thought. “She should feel guilty for what she did!”

Chipo could be a petty little filly at times.

 

Everything proceeded as normal until it was lunch time. Chipo sat at the school cafeteria with her friends. She had already finished eating and was now chatting away. There was always a long recess in school for her after lunch so she could take it easy for a bit.

 

Suddenly, she felt a sharp sting on her bottom making her cry out at the sudden pain and causing friends turn their attention to her.

”What happened?” Asked Lemon.

”I don’t-Ah!” Chipo felt it again.

”Are you alright?” Asked one of her friends.

The pain came back and Chipo quickly jumped off her chair drawing even more attention to herself.

”Did you sit on something sharp?” Asked Lemon again.

Chipo looked at her chair and found nothing on it.

”No, I have no-“ Whatever Chipo was about to say was interrupted by the same burst of pain coming back again. This time twice in short succession.

 

Her friends and some other students watched as she stepped forward twice in visible pain.

 

Poor Chipo was understandably confused as to what was going on when she heard a an odd sound coming from her lunchbox. She looked into it to find a note that was written with glowing red words on a grey crumpled up piece of paper she had somehow never noticed before. In her confusion she decided to read it and what she read was truly horrifying:

 

”Chipo, I know what you did with Light Step because unlike you, Light Step had the decency to feel guilty enough about the whole thing to admit to it. She said that she was the sole perpetrator at first, but her parents got her to admit that YOU-“ As she read the "YOU" part that was in all caps, the pain came back for a bit causing the colts and fillies watching her to be even more confused. It was as if Ekua knew exactly when she would read that part.

 

Despite everything, Chipo frowned. That accursed Light Step just had to tattle on her! She was betting that she did it just to get her into trouble.

 

The pain in her butt suddenly reignited and Chipo couldn't help but think that this was due to her not reading the note, so she panickedly read on:

 

"The pain you are feeling right now is and will be your punishment. Nothing you'll say or do will get you out of this. I suggest you find a private place to take your spanking. Love, mom."

 

As Chipo finished reading that last part, the note suddenly burst into harmless flames and burned away, leaving nothing behind. Chipo immedietly knew that Ekua was punishing her with some kind of curse.

 

Chipo's friends, meanwhile could only watch as the zebra filly read the note. The fact that Chipo seemed to look more and more scared as she read on and the fact that the note just exploded made them very concerned and confused.

 

”Chipo?” Asked a concerned Lemon Balm.

 

Chipo turned to her friend in panic. She knew that her mother wasn't kidding and there was no way she could live down getting spanked like this here! Just then she felt her mother’s “spanking” start anew.

 

Lemon could only watch as her friend was dancing and yelping in place in obvious pain. If she didn’t know any better she would have thought that she was getting spanked.

 

”I g-gotta go!” Shouted Chipo before running out of the cafeteria in panic, making small jumps along the way and leaving the students there utterly baffled by her behavior.

 

”OWOWOWOW!” Chipo cried as she ran in the school hallway. She was trying hard to find someplace quiet and trying even harder to ignore the attention she was getting. Ekua was not going easy on her.

 

She soon spotted a bathroom and, unable to find a better hiding place, she rushed right in. Thankfully, there was nopony inside and Chipo could lock herself into one of the stalls where, after trotting in place a bit due to the pain, she put the toilet lid down and sat down to wait it out. While sitting did not effect the pain in any way, Chipo squirmed in her seat as she cried. It almost felt like she was getting hit by some kind of giant wooden spoon.

 

”Are you alright?” Came a sudden voice, startling Chipo.

The zebra filly was quick to recover. “Y-yes!” She stuttered.

The colt was silent but there were no sounds of him leaving so Chipo tried to be as silent as possible while waiting for him to leave.

Wait, him?

The colt started speaking again: “Um, you do realize that this is the colt’s bathroom, right?”

Crap.

It was hard to think on her hooves while getting spanked, Chipo managed to come up with something.

”I-EEH! I am a colt-AH! I am jusSSSSTH P-HOOF, pooping!” Chipo tried sounding like a colt while saying this.

It was not very effective.

 

The colt was weirded out by the obvious filly. If she had to go so badly, why didn’t she go to the fillies bathroom which was right next door? And what was up with those sounds she was making?

 

”I don’t-“

”Just leave me alone!” Shouted Chipo.

”But-“

”Please!” She begged.

The colt stepped back, listened to the filly’s cries of pain for a bit, then shrugged and walking out.

 

Glad to have her privacy back, but also still in pain and feeling thoroughly humiliated, Chipo continued to sit there and weather the invisible spanks while trying to keep her crying as silent as possible.

 

Thankfully, she did not have to suffer for too long as her mother soon seemed to finish. There was no indication that she was done, but the lack of any additional pain was enough for Chipo, who continued to sit on the toilet for a while to calm down.

 

After a few minutes, she groaned and tiredly walked out the booth, startling two more colts who were doing their business. She then barged out of the room, not caring for the stares she was getting as she did so.

 

The rest of the school day went by mostly as normal. Light Step was noticeably avoiding Chipo, who did have a bit of trouble sitting in class, which was odd, considering that sitting on the toilet during her spanking didn’t cause any additional pain. She figured that this was a thing Ekua added to her punishment.

 

Her classmates found all of this strange and would later question her about it, but upon receiving no concrete answers they just assumed that it was a zebra thing.

 

After the school day ended, Chipo was invited by her friends to play with them in the schoolyard before going home but she declined. Normally, Chipo would accept such offers but she assumed that her mother would want to speak to her as soon as possible.

 

She was right. Upon returning home, Ekua sat her down on the living room couch and gave her a firm scolding for her misdeed and the fact that she tried to hide it. Thankfully there were no more spankings.

 

Eventually, Chipo managed to gather up the courage to ask her mother about how she spanked her.

”Its quite simple, really.” Ekua answered. “I used this.” She held up the doll that she was making in the morning.

”But that’s just a doll that looks like me.” Said Chipo.

Ekua smirked. “Not just any doll, a voodoo doll.”

Chipo blinked. “Those are real?”

”Indeed, they can be made with old zebra magic.”

Chipo’s did not expect this to be the answer. Then again she should have considering all the crazy things zebra curses could do.

 

”Don’t think I won’t use it on you if you ever try to hide your naughtiness from me again.” Ekua suddenly warned.

Chipo gulped.
