Twilight's Decision

‘Twilight Sparkle has been captured as you commanded my queen’ the voice hisses from her right side. She moans feeling pins and needles in all of her body.

‘Ah she is waking….leave us’ commands a voice. Twilight’s vision slowly came back and she looked up right into Chrysalis’s green eyes.

‘What do you want’ yells Twilight.

‘Oh’ that should be obvious says Chrysalis calmly ‘I want to help you’.

‘What’ yells Twilight. ‘You….You want to help me’ she whispers.

‘Yes’ Chrysalis says as she walks toward a book shelf ‘you already have the power to defeat Sombra, but you do not know of it’. ‘What, I do?’ Twilight looks at her bewildered. As Chrysalis continues slowly walking Twilight finally looks around and realizes she’s in another part of the castle, standing on a podium is an old book with a sun and moon on it.

‘Yes’ says Chrysalis as she pulls Twilights saddle bag off of the empty space on the shelf. She tosses it at her and Twilight catches it.

‘Look inside’ says Chrysalis as she stands there. Twilight dumps it out and alongside Zecora’s potion, her rations of food and water and her book on magic comes out a small black box. She looks at it for a second then at Chrysalis. She picks it up and looks at it…..

‘This isn’t what I think is it?’

‘I do not know’ says Chrysalis, ‘open it’. So against her better judgement Twilight opens it to reveal the black and red Alicorn amulet.

‘Oh my gosh’ she screams and drops it on the ground. As Twilight continues sitting there she can fell it calling for her, the voice nagging in the back of her head. Chrysalis floats the amulet up and positions it in the air above Twilight.

‘Do you want it, will you take it so you can save your friends and all of Equestria, will you save my people by putting this on?’ Twilight starts to shiver as the necklace approaches her neck

‘I….I’ Twilight stutters. She stares at it and her mouth waters, ‘the power’ she thinks ‘I could save them all’. ‘I could even use a spell to hide it so no one would ever know!’

She looks at it one last time and then the pony of friendship ducks her head forward allowing the necklace to sit at the base of her throat. She marvels at it and thoughts of what she could do with the power; save everyone maybe even keep the world safe forever. Looking up at Chrysalis she summons a bubble around her.

‘You do not deserve to live in the new Equestria’ says Twilight as she blinks and her eyes glow start to glow red. She starts to collapse the bubble on Chrysalis.

Chrysalis stares at her and then says ‘Twilight it has control of you’.

Twilight turns to look at her ‘what do you mean, I have all of the control’ smiling she summons up a swarm of shadows and vanishes. As the bubble continues to constrict Chrysalis melts into shadow and slips through the bubble becoming Sombra. He looks up at the receding shadows and smiles.
