"Are You Not Afraid Of Me?"

As I flew back to my hut I was thinking of ways I could get rid of Terra. I needed an excuse for her to leave and never come back, I could probably tell her it was an emergency and that would be that. Then again why didn’t I just tell her to leave and never return? Was I actually concerned in not hurting her feelings?

She was a liability now, if I couldn’t fest on her friendship; then I would certainly would not degrade myself and allow my subjects to feed on the friendship stemming from me. I saw the hut and flew down to it. As I looked in I saw that the pony was still asleep where I had left her, however the sun was beginning to rise and I knew she would awaken soon. Yet before I could think of a reasonable excuse a Changeling ran up behind me in a panic.

“My Queen! My Queen, there is trouble!”

“What is it?”

“The purple unicorn and her friends are on their way here!”

“What? How? I arg- stop them!”

“We’re trying my lord, but they are powerful-“

Just then a purple blast hit him from behind and knocked the Changeling to the ground. As I looked up I saw Twilight Sparkle with her five friends walking toward me. I gave a smirk and met them before they reached my hut Twilight was the one to speak first.

“Alright give her up Chrysalis, you can’t hide her forever.”

“Whatever do you mean Twilight Sparkle?” I said smiling deviously.

“You know exactly what we’re talking about…doesn’t she?” asked the pink pony.

“Yes she does, she’s captured a pony by tricking her with her disguise!” Twilight responded. Looks like my little problem would be taken care of for me.

“Oh Twilight Sparkle, clever as ever I see. Tell me how did you discover it was me?”

“I can sense your Changeling magic easier than last time Chrysalis. You can’t cover your true form from me!”

“Queen what’s happening?” The voice came from behind me and we all looked to see Terra standing in front of the hut.

“There she is, quick Rainbow Dash get her!” Twilight called out. The blue pegasus flew and grabbed Terra lifting her back over to the group of ponies.

“Wait, no- get offa me!” Terra cried as she hit the blue pegasus with her hooves, which caused her to drop Terra and she landed between Twilight Sparkle and I.

“What’s going on here? Queen Chrysalis what are they trying to do?” Terra cried

“Please you need to come with us you’re in grave danger!” Twilight pleaded with Terra.

“In danger of what?” She asked back.

“In danger of her!” Twilight pointed her hoof at me. Terra looked at me and gave a curious look at the purple unicorn

“Why would I be in danger of her? You are the ones who just busted into her kingdom!

“Because she’s a Changeling if you haven’t noticed, and she’s extremely dangerous,” said Rainbow Dash.

“I don’t see how she’s extremely dangerous, you’re not making sense!” Terra replied

“Hang on Rainbow Dash.” Twilight said as she motioned to her friend. “Look the Queen is a Changeling, and she gains

strength and energy by feeding off of the love and emotions of others. She’s using you so she can gain energy!”

Terra turned around to face me now with a distraught face.

“Is this true?” She asked.

I figured this was the moment to seem evil and it would cause Terra to become upset and she would abandon me. I started to laugh evilly and floated around Terra, time to make this a good performance.

“Tis true, I planned to befriend you so that I can could feed on the energy of your friendship and restore my dwindled power along with my colony!” I laughed again maniacally to top it off. Terra looked down at the floor for a moment, and I landed behind her and prepared for her exit.

“I don’t care!” said the voice behind me. I turned around stunned to see Terra looking back at me intensely.

“WHAT?” exclaimed the group of ponies behind her. Terra turned around and addressed them.

“I don’t care. You all call her an evil Changeling Queen, but that’s because you haven’t had the chance to see the reasonability and pressure she is faced with everyday. She does what she has too because she has more honor and respect for her duty as a Queen than I’d say even dear Princess Celestia.”

All six of the ponies gasped.

“That’s right, and you know? Maybe she did have other intentions for making me her friend, but… what does it matter? If it means that I get to have somepony to call a friend, who understands me and knows the suffering I’ve gone through; so be it. I can deal with her feeding off my friendship energy or whatever if she needs it, because that’s what friends do."

"She’s already given me a place to call home, which is more than anyponies done for me in my entire life, I’d need to repay it somehow.”

I stood there, listening to the pony speak her words of kindness. There was a choking feeling now forming in my chest, which worked its way up into my throat. Terra turned and walked up to me.

“So Queen Chrysalis, if you need my friendship energy go ahead. I’ve got plenty to give so it’s okay.”

I could see the cloud now forming larger and larger behind the pony as she expressed a certain sense of pride doing so. I was confused, the choking feeling was overpowering and I couldn’t say a word. I wanted desperately for it to stop, but it was no use. I backed away slowly from Terra and flew as far and fast as I could.
