"3..2...1... Ready or not, here I come!" you screamed at the top of your lungs >You turned to see your "friend" hiding under the table. Ha! Found you! >You rush under the table, taking hold of your "friend's" leg. >You pull it on the leg, and out comes a fluffy teddy bear. "Oh no! You found us Anon!" You said, while moving the toy's mouth. >This toy was your loyal “friend.” >You both were playing hide and seek outside of the orphanage. Haha! Now it's my turn to hide, and YOUR turn to seek! >You drop the bear, facing the wall, and run. "I got a PERFECT hiding spot! NO peaking!" You scream back at your stuffed animal. >Tired, you began to slow down. "Alright..." you said while trying to catch your breath, "This should be it." >A small hole in the bushes can be seen. >Its twigs and leaves were shaped in a way where you easily hid inside! >You enter the bush, legs first. >A few twigs poked at your back as you entered, but that didn't stop you from the perfect hiding spot. >Suddenly, you heard noises coming from the other side of the bush. >Trying to twist yourself in a position to see what it was, you began to make loud rustling noises. >You hold your breath and stopped moving. >The noise stopped too. >You hope it isn't another griffon here to bully you...     >With a final turn, you peak your head out of the leaves to see what was on the other side. "Those griffons... who do they think they are?" You whispered to yourself. >It wasn't a griffon... >Nor was it a pony... >You don't know WHAT *IT* is! >It resembled a pony... But it was black. >And bleeding. >Ignoring the twigs and thickets, you roll out of the bush and onto your back. >Whatever that thing was, it was bleeding. >You run over to your belongings and grab a roll of medical wraps, and a disinfectant spray. >The orphanage could never afford a "fake" doctor kit... So you played with the actual first-aid kit. H-hey! >The frail creature looked up. >It... looked like a pony... >An alicorn... With holes in its hooves. A-are you alright? >"Lo-" What?   >You lean in to hear what it was saying. >"Love" >You fall back. Wh-what?! We just met each other! I mean... >"I need... Love." >What did she mean by that?! >She began to cough. >"Love me..." B-But I can't! I don't even know you! P-please! Let me help you! >She turns her head towards you and stares. >Her eyes fixed on yours. Now... where does it hurt? >She points to her stomach. >... *gulp* >You began to wrap her torso in the medical wraps. Do you feel better? >She looks at you puzzled. No? >"I love you."   >You sigh. I don't even know you... I'm Anonymous and- >She puts on a smile. >"I love Anonymous." >Right. In. The. Heart. >You fall to your knees and slap yourself on the forehead. >What are you going to do with her? >"I love Anon!" >What is she? >Is all of... “Her kind” like this? Look I- >She kisses you on the lips. >"I love Anonymous!" >What... >Did she just... >You jump back, wiping your lips with your shirt. >Your face was red as a tomato. Wh-wh-wh-what was that?! >She glares at you puzzled >"What was what?" D-Don't give me that "what was what" stuff! You just... kissed me... >Uneven and unsturdy, she stands up and walks over to you. >Her blue hair, passing over one of her eyes. >"Don't you kiss when you're in love?"   >Your heart was racing. Th-that was my... first... >"Kiss?" She says, finishing your sentence. >It felt as though steam came out of your ears, for a moment... Yeah... >She pushes you against a tree. H-hey! >She walks over you, pinning your arms down. >Her green eyes stared into yours... >"Anonymous." >You can hear her breathing... >It felt like she was standing over you for hours... >Her hoof holes probably left a circular mark on your arm... Hope no one thinks anything of it... >When she began to lean in, you flinched, closing your eyes. >What... is she...? >You slowly opened your eyes... >She booped your nose, with hers. I... >"Thanks." >Thanks? >What is she talking about?! >She lets go of you. >You were right, it did leave circular marks on your arms Um... >"My name is Chrysalis! And I'm going to rule Equestria one day!"   >The... WHAT?! >Is this... whatever it is... insane? >First she goes on about how she loves you... then she tells you about "how she is going to rule Equestria?" >She begins to hop around. >"Anon! Anon! Let's play, Anon!" >You get up. Um... What do you want to- >"Let's play love!" >Oh boy... How about we play something else? >"Hm... How about "House?" >... >You knew where this was gonna lead... >Your heart can't take another one... of her kisses...   How about- >... >What just... happened? >Your voice stopped.   >You look down to see a spike driven through your chest. >It pierced right through you... >You follow the spike up, to see that it was some sort of arm... coming from an... alicorn? >"Mommy!” >Mommy? >Blood began seep through your shirt. ... >You couldn't even yell for help. >The "arm" retracted back into the "alicorn." >"Mommy... why did you hurt Anonymous?" >"Sweetie, that thing is a monster. Stay away from it!" >You fall to the ground. >A... monster? >You've heard MANY names... >Dweeb, Monkey Butt, dork... >Monster... hit the hardest. >"But, I love Anonymous." >The large creature flinched. >It turned to get a better look at you. >Your vision began to blur. >"So be it." The alicorn whispered, "He shall be your servant from here on out." >Servant? ... >Looks like you didn't have a say in this.   >A dim light hangs above you. >Your head... hurts! Ugh... hey... can someone get the... the... >"Anonymous!" >You turn to see Chrysalis. >She held up a large smile, exposing her fangs. What... happened? >The smile dropped. >"Mommy hurt you... pretty bad... BUT, BUT!" >The smile returned. >"I told Mommy that I love you... And that you gave me your love!" WHA- >Your chest felt like it was on fire. >These bandages... >"Oh! I used the wraps that you gave me to feel better... To make YOU feel better!" Uh... Thanks. >You felt around your chest. >... >The hole! Its still there! >"Oh! Did the wraps not work?" >You had no idea... >It didn't hurt but... that hole... >...   --------------------------------------------   >A Year later. >"Wake-up! Wake-up ya fleshy bag of bones! We didn't take you from that orphanage to have you laying around!" >You could never get your internal clock going like the rest of the changelings... >"I don't see what Chrysalis sees in you... All I see is a lazy bag of bones!" >Fleshy or bag of bones, seems to be the favored nickname for you. >You jump out of your bed. >"Alright! Today, you are going to learn: "How to serve." You obviously aren't built like the rest of us... So being a knight is well out of the question." >Damn... >When you found out Changelings had knights, you TOTALLY wanted to be one! >Human Knight sounded awesome! >"Go down the hive, and meet up with the other changelings." Alright, Granny! >The elderly changeling looks at you angrily. Haha! >"You know NOT to call me that." Sorry ma'am, but the name suites you the most. >You bow. >"Wha- Ju- Get out of my sight, HUMAN!" >Not wanting to deal with a hit to the head, you rush out of the room.   >You were excited to start your practices! >Mooching off the changelings wasn't right... >You made your way down to the bottom of the hive, greeting and waving to the changelings you passed. >All the changelings seemed so happy doing what they did. >They were all working for a common goal. >Pleasing and protecting the Queen. >"Anonymous!" >You turn to see Chrysalis jumping at you. Nope! >You dodge. >Chrysalis goes crashing to the ground. >"Y-You big meanie! I was just trying to get love from you!" >You put your hands on your hips. Haha! Not today! I need all my strength for training. >"Training?" >You nod. Today, I am going to learn how to be a servant!   >She examines you, head to toe. >"A Servant? Really?" Mhm! >"But you can't even access the tunnels correctly!" >You couldn't... >You needed wings to use them, because you enter through the ceilings and floors... >The hive had two tunnel systems. >A small one, for speaking. >And a large one, for getting around faster. >You took the walk-ways, which was meant for guests and royal figures. >The current queen did not mind. >You gave Chrysalis a smirk. Just watch me! I'll be the greatest servant, this hive has ever seen! >You bow My lady... >Chrysalis began to blush. >"Idiot... Watch what you are saying," She whispered. Haha! >Today... Is going to be a great day!
