I had no Idea how long I was knocked out, but when I came to the sun was coming back up. I looked around and found that I was in the living room on my couch. There was what sounded like running water going on in the kitchen. My head was pounding like I just got over a hangover. The water stopped and footsteps started coming my way, it was vinyl with a cold rag in her hand. I started to sit up but she pushed me back down.

"No, you need to rest you're burning up." She said. I complied and let her put the cold rag on my forehead. The sensation of the cold rag on my broiling skin felt amazing, so I let a sigh of relief escape my lips.

"You are incredibly stupid for coming here, you know that right?" I chuckled under my breath, because she was right. It was stupid coming here because now I put Vinyl at risk. With Chrysalis staying at my house nobody can come here until she is better.

"How is she doing by the way? Last time I checked she was in my arms passed out from the blood loss."

"She's fine now. I gave her some meds to knock down the fever. All she needs now is plenty of water and rest." She sat down at the end of the couch with a thump. She looked at me with a nagging look that only meant one thing, worry. "Why did you bring her here?"

"I was scared I didn't know what to do."

"But why did you save her?"

"Because she was hurt."

"Why didn't you just leave her there."

"Vinyl please just-"

"You couldn't just leave her there."

"Vinyl-"

"SHE KILLED ALL THOSE PONIES!" At this point I stood up and snapped right at Vinyl.

"SHE WAS ONLY DOING THAT BECAUSE HER ENTIRE RACE WOULD'VE DIED IF SHE DIDN'T!" Vinyl then stood up and got into my face.

"OH SO NOW IT'S OKAY TO MURDER HUNDREDS OF PONIES! OH BUT I GUESS THAT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU SINCE YOU KILLED THOSE CHANGELINGS, NOW YOUR JUST SOME BIG HEARTLESS MONSTER WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY-"

"BECAUSE I LOVE HER OKAY!" She stopped dead in her tracks when she heard this. At first there was confusion, then realization, then disgust.

"How could you love something like that." My mind snapped even further and I felt like that different person again. I started shaking and gritting my teeth. I bared my fangs at Vinyl which made her move back a little bit, her ears flattened against her head and her eyes grew wide.

"Don't call her that, she has a name. Use it." My migraine got even worse after that. I gripped my head in pain and sat back down on the couch. Vinyl was on the wall wide eyed and chest heaving. She eventually calmed down and approached me very cautiously, as to not trigger some sort of meltdown again. She squatted down to my eye level.

"Okay. Chrysalis has hurt a lot of our friends, so my only concern with you and her is just how did you end up liking her this way?" So I looked up and she was a little surprised, I didn't know what was so bad about me until she pointed it out. "Um whats wrong with your eyes?"

"What about them?"

"The edges around your pupil is like icy blue."

"What?!" I got up and ran straight for the nearest mirror to see this change for myself. What she said was true, my eyes had seemed to start turning as blue as the sky from the inside out.

This doesn't look good, maybe I should visit nurse redheart and get this checked out.

I turned back to Vinyl and she looked dumbstruck.

"Alright time to tell me, what the hell happened while you were gone?" I complied and went back into the living room, took a deep breath, and told her what happened in the everfree forest, including the graphic parts. She retched for a little while after the incident with the timber wolves, but otherwise she seemed to be content with this information, except for one question.

"Why did you save her?" She asked arms crossed, determined to get the answer out of me. I sighed and turned towards her.

"I saved her because she was helpless. Fluttershy had told me before, be kind to every person you meet because eventually that kindness will come back around to help you one day. So with that moral in mind I repaired her wounds the best I could, carried her through nearly four miles of that forest, and killed those timber wolves to save her life. No living creature should die the way she would have died, even if she did all those terrible things."

We sat there in silence for a while, wondering why fate had planted this kind of future for us.

"So, How is she?" I finally asked after what felt like five minutes.

"She seems to be healing very slowly and every time I try to feed her she rejects it." I rubbed my chin in thought.

She isn't eating, that isn't good we need to get some food in her before she runs completely out of energy.

That's when it dawned on me, changelings don't eat pony food. they feed on love from ponies. I gulped when I realized what must be done to actually feed her. I got up and started walking upstairs when Vinyl stopped me.

"Where are you going?"

"To check on her, and if I'm not back in ten minutes come and get me."

"Why do you want me to do that?" I stared straight ahead so she wouldn't see the worry in my face.

"I'm going to feed her." I took her hand off of my shoulder and climbed the rest of the stairs to my bedroom where Chrysalis was resting.

__________________________

I opened the door very slightly as to not wake her up right away. She was sleeping soundly in my bed but she looked very pale and was shaking slightly. Her leg was propped up on a couple pillows with proper bandages on. I tiptoed to the edge of the bed and gazed down at her form, she looked like shit to say the least. I reached my hand down and shook her shoulder lightly, her eyes fluttered open and it took her a moment to focus on me, when she did a small smile spread across her muzzle as she realized I was standing there.

"Hey there Chryssi! How you feeling?"

"Like a thousand hot needles have been stabbed into my body." She laughed weakly then started a huge coughing fit.

"Hey now, take it easy. You might hurt yourself more." I slowly laid her back down as she began to calm herself. "So I've heard that you aren't eating your food and water like you're supposed to. Is this true?" She slowly nodded her head to me. "Any reason why you would do that?"

"Why would you care pony scum." She retorted with a sneer.

"Because I'm the one who saved you and feels responsible for your injuries."

"So it was you who grabbed me! You little insolent- AHH!" She grabbed her chest in extreme agony.

"Whoa hey Chrysalis don't give up on me, not now. Look I'm here for a specific reason and that's to give you your food, and yes I do realize the consequences of helping you but i don't give a shit. So here, feed on my love." I pulled my shirt away from my neck so she may feed on my love. She looked at me with daggers as she could not put make words, then her expression softened as she realized how much I really cared for her. Then without any further hesitation, she sunk her fangs into my neck. I could feel warm blood start to trickle out of my neck, and I think I actually enjoyed the pain. There was a sort of high that came with it that made me feel wonderful. As i started to feel the pain of her needle-like teeth in my skin, I also felt all the positive emotions leaving my body. Its kinda like getting out from under warm blankets and then stepping outside into the cold winter air. All the warmth just leaves and there is nothing but bitterness and sorrow in your soul, but that wasn't the case in my situation. There was one emotion that was always there and will always stick with me, hope.

As she finished she unlatched her maw from my neck, then I fell on the floor weaker than a twig. She looked down at me from the edge of the bed, with blood-stained teeth, she looked up to full strength once more. She was practically glowing like some sort of dark angel. What she did next though surprised even me, she leaned over and used her magic to levitate me onto the bed with her. She tucked me under the blankets and made sure I was nice and comfortable, then she kissed me on the forehead and whispered, "I love you too." Then with that I snuggled up to her breasts and laid my head on them like a soft plush pillow. We then drifted into a world of slumber, with me knowing that changelings are not the beasts that others may say they are. When in reality, changelings hold more love than any creature in equestria, and I love them all for that reason.
