From the Life of a Queen, to the Life of a Villian

Over the next few days, Leisha was very surprised to find how well she was being treated. Her fur had almost completely regained its normal glow, and the showers she took every night were completely wondrous. She loved being able to move around in a bedroom that was given to her in place of her old living arrangements.

There was something off.

Why would he, just out of nowhere, move her to such lavish accommodations? Not because he was to be wedded to her soon, but there was a deeper meaning. Something that could be hazardous. But she just couldn't figure out what.

As she pondered over her thoughts, there was a knock at the window. Odd... She thought, staring at the window. Maybe a bird ran into it. She turned around and continued to go over her thoughts.

Knock Knock

Her eyes once again turned to the window. Her magic was sealed and her wings magically trapped, so the thought of escape was fruitless. She gently stood and walked over to the window. Her eyes drifted around, looking for the source of the knocking. She soon saw a pegasus fly up, her eyes glittering the days subset. Her grey fur was soft and fluffy in the wind, and she smiled. "Momma!" She cried through the window, tears down her face. Leisha saw the look of pain in her eyes, and she watched her cautiously. "Mom, you have to get out of there!! You can't let them have you!" She cried, and Leisha stared at her with a broken expression. There was her little angel, crying for her to escape. Tears leaked down her face, and she put her hoof on the window.

"Delilah! You know I will escape at the moment I can!" She croaked, laying her ears back. "But I have had no such chances thus far... I will get back to you my little girl."

The pegasus stared in at her through the window, nodding quickly. "Just don't let Sombra get anywhere near you, he is planning to-" Delilah fell from the sky, her eyes struck open in shock. Leisha stared as she watched her little baby fall. She screamed, banging on the window. Delilah desperately tried to flap her wings, but to no avail. There was an arrow sticking them together, and Delilah screamed for help. Leisha whined as she tried everything to open the window. She helplessly watched as Delilah hit the ground below, her body mangled. She screamed, then went silent.

Leisha stared with the most broken horror. Her little girl, the little filly she saved all those years ago, the fruit of all her efforts, was broken. Was dead.

Leisha quickly sat up with a scream as she looked around the bedroom. She ran over to the window. Nothing. She sat down, tears staining her fur. The whole thing was a dream. Thank Celestia. Why hadn't she noticed it before? In her dream, Delilah was a pegasus. Which was obviously not her, as she was a unicorn. But she couldn't help but think it was her baby. In some, miraculous way, her baby got wings to come save her.

But of course not. It was all just a sad twisted dream.

"My lady." A voice came from the door. "Sombra has requested that you see to him immediately."

Leisha looked at the door, then stood. "Alright." She said, walking to the door and leaving the nightmare she just had behind.
