Previous Chapter

Sweetie Belles body felt like it was being wrung out. Like she has been twisted, and tossed. Maybe even hit by some boulders. She had no idea what was going on. Or why.

"Now, don't fret my pretty little one. Soon it will be all over. And you, shall take my place. Well, you shall rule under me until I am no longer able to rule at all. A replacement queen. Since I Can not give birth to the heir. I have to make one. And You. You are perfect."

Sweetie Belle wanted to scream, but she couldn't. No sound would come out.
She felt a warm feeling crawl up her legs. As she looked down, she noticed a few holes forming in her legs. She panicked!! Why were these holes forming? what was going on? Why her?

As the procedure went on, Sweeties legs began the lengthen, To the same size as the Queens. She had fewer holes in hers, and her fur stayed white. She felt her body begin to grow. Insect like wings sprouted up from behind her shoulder blades. Her cute curly hair began to grow, holes forming here and there, but still maintaining a curled look.

After 4 hours, it was done. Sweeties transformation into a changeling queen was finally finished. She was stunning. Even Chrysalis herself was feeling a touch jealous. The guards then brought her the carapace. A customary item that every queen wears. Hers was a pinkish purple. matching her mane. Her new wings slid easily into place. And a small crown, an exact replica of Chrysalis'.

"Ah, this new form. It feels. It feels so different, yet, so much better. I could get used to this. But I still wonder, why the rushed breeding?"

"HAHAHAAHA!! The full moon rises tonight. I can no longer lay eggs. You can. A changeling Queen can only lay eggs by a full moons silver light. The silver Moon is tonight. So Begins your training as the new Changeling Queen."

Back at the farmhouse:

"Ah don't get why y'all were sending em mares anyway. Ah thought the changelings were the enemies."

"I'm afraid not. Apple Bloom. Some how in the crazy scheme of things, Granny Smith was taken. They held her hostage. They sent a drone here to watch over us. IF we so much as Took a breath wrong, it was reported. If we didn't give them what they wanted. They were going to kill her, and you. So Ah figured, better we sacrifice some mares then to lose our family.'

"Ah still don't get it. Why us? Why not some other family? What did we do to deserve it, heck, why?"

"Applebloom. They know our darkest secrets. Everything we have ever done. they were going to expose those. And we cant have that."

"Our what?"

"We are not as we appear. We have killed, we have stolen, and we have beaten our way to the top. There is no competition for apples because we insure there isn't. By any means necessary."

Her face drained of all color. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her family? Kill other ponies?

"Yes darlin,we did. We killed every competitor that ever dared to challenge us."

"So it was a few mares, or our family. And what's a few mares compared to our family? Plus now they have the mare they wanted, so they'll leave us alone."
