The Future

Blackness and darkness, a feeling everypony gets, sees, feels, and sometimes are afraid to look. Sometimes we all are afraid to look into the eternal black abyss that seems endless. What do we see that makes us afraid of the dark? Is it monsters, or is it our fears?

For Chrysalis, she opened her eyes to see nothing but the pitch black. She looked around, and she couldn't find any source of light coming from anywhere. She wanted to scream until somepony heard her. She did scream, but it was muffled by something. Since she could see in front of her and not knowing where she was at, she looked down her muzzle and saw a black strap running along the top part. What kind of device or magic or whatever this is is making my screams muffled? What kind of creature put this thing on me while I was sleeping? Who did it? and more importantly, where the hell am I? Chrysalis thought to herself as she tried to look for any sign of light, but didn't find anything.

She tried to move her black holed hooves to remove the something on her muzzle, but for some reason her hooves never came to her. Her green eyes pierced through the dark, as if she was used to looking into the dark abyss. She looked and looked, screamed again, and it was a louder muffle. Just then, her ears perked up as she heard something open, she looked up and prepared to face whoever did this to her. "So are you awake yet?" A voice asked, poking the Changeling Queen on the thigh.

Chrysalis hissed a bit when somepony touched her, without her permission. She tried to lunge at her assailant not knowing who it was. But for some reason it was like she was weighed down, like something held her back. She tried to look for what was holding hr until the voice spoke again, "I'll remove the shroud I placed on your head, then we will all see and ask you what you are doing here."

We? As in there is more of you wherever I am? Chrysalis asked herself as she tried to struggle again. This time however she closed her eyes as something black was taken off of her head. The Changeling Queen looked at her surroundings, and she realized she was in the Golden Oaks Library. She then look at the assailant, it was the purple dragon Spike, and he was holding the black shroud that covered her head earlier. Chrysalis shot the purple drake a glare that could kill a Minotaur. Spike just smiled at the Changeling Queen knowing she couldn't hurt him.

Chrysalis then looked down, and she saw, her hind hooves were bound to a chair with rope. She tried to use her magic to untie herself, but she couldn't make her horn glow. Chrysalis then tried to ask a question but it only came out as muffles, "Whammppph Thmppph hempph dimmph yommph dompph tmmmph mpppph?! (What the hell did you do to me?!)"

Spike tried not to laugh at the situation The Changeling Queen was in. He then walked up towards the black bug creature and he replied, "I put a ball gag in your mouth while you were unconscious and at the same time I placed a magic ring binder on your horn, so you can't use your magic at all."

"Whmmmph thmmph fommmph?! (Why the hell for?!)" Chrysalis asked through the gag.

"Well because I think you're going to nag and complain a lot, so until then the gag stays in your mouth." The drake replied, smiling evilly at the capture Queen. Chrysalis looked down at the ground in defeat, hoping the drake will take the gag out of her mouth, and he would be fooled by her ruse. Spike then felt guilty leaving the gag in her mouth so he walked up to the tied up queen and he began to unstrap the ball gag. Just as he was beginning to finish getting the last strap undone the door to his bedroom open.

Hoof steps could be heard echoing down the stairs since Spike is living in the basement of the Golden Oaks Library. Spike then began to panic as he looked at Chrysalis then at the door to his bedroom. He then picked up Chrysalis from the chair she was sitting on and carried her to his closet where Twilight's science journals and other equipment were placed at the time he was little baby dragon. Since then Twilight moved her science stuff to her bedroom, Spike had an empty closet that could fit two ponies like Celestia, or in this case Chrysalis and any other pony.

So Spike opened the closet doors, Chrysalis shaking her head back and forth kicking her bound hind hooves on Spike's scaly purple shoulder, trying to struggle and get out of his strong grip but to no avail. Spike then placed the Changeling Queen gently down on the floor and he whispered, "Stay quiet and I might take the gag out faster than you think."

Chrysalis just shot Spike a glare that could melt an iceberg, She began to thrash around trying to get the ropes undone, and get the gag out herself. Spike just shrugged his shoulders as he closed the closet doors on her and left her in the dark warm closet. Chrysalis then began to cry, a tear escaped and slowly drifted down ward and hit the ground. All she wanted was to apologize to Twilight and her friends about the prank she pulled and now she was being held against her will by the sexy librarian assistant who ordered her around. Chrysalis shook her head as she kept thinking about the purple dragon and his sexy, strong, muscular body, making her do dirty things.

I think I'm fallen in love with the library assistant. Nah.. no way he would fall for a creature like me. Right? Chrysalis thought to herself as she began to hear a conversation outside the closet doors. Outside of the closet Spike turned his head around and jumped a little when he saw a pink party pony bouncing around. "Pinkie... Pie... what are you doing in my room?" Spike asked, his attention following the bouncing pink pony.

"Well I was hanging out with Rainbow Dash for a bit, then Applejack, then Fluttershy, then Rarity, then Twilight, Lyra, Bon-Bon, Derpy, Colgate, Berry Punch, Cloud Chaser, and finally myself." The pink pony replied happily, smiling at the drake.

"How could you have... never mind." Spike said, as he looked at the party pony who was eyeing him up and down.

"Also I made a lot of other friends." Pinkie said continuing from where she left off.

"Great so who are they?" The purple drake asked, trying to name all the ponies Pinkie already met in his head.

"Well they are the readers and there is the writer." The pink pony said happily, looking directly at a wall.

"Who?" The drake questioned, now confused.

"The writer, Spike he is writing everything we say, and the readers are reading what we say. " Pinkie said, still staring at the wall.

"What exactly are you talking about Pinkie? There's no pony here but you and me." Spike said, looking around, trying to find whoever Pinkie was talking about. Pinkie face hooved herself as she finally gave up. "Okie Dokie Lokie. I guess I'll see you around up stairs then Spike. Bye. The pinkie pony said, just before Spike could say good bye the party pony left closing his bedroom door on her way out.

"Whew that was close." Spike said, turning his head back towards the closet. Just as he approached the door, he turned his head around one more time to make sure no pony else was in his room. He then turned his head back at the closet doors and he opened them. Spike is unaware that a pair of purple eyes belonging somepony is indeed watching him from the creak of his bedroom door.
