Author's Note

I was going to use this for a chapter that i redid, but you can read anyway-

I started to cry even harder. 'W-why wont anybody listen to me..'

'Because, you're a monster.' A voice said.

"Who's there?" I quietly yelled.

'Oh, you should know who I am.'

"What?" I backed up to the wall.

'I am your darkest fears.'

"Oh. OK! And I thought you were scary." I said. I didn't have any dark fears unless you include...

'You're in denial. *sigh* You can't stop your future.' The voice said.

"W-what?" I asked. I felt scared, but I know I shouldn't.

'You hurt the ponies in there. You can't escape it. He said.

"N-no! It was the queen!" I stammered.

'But it was your body.'

"Th-that doesn't mean anything!"

'To you, no, but to them... It might as well have been you.' The last word dripped with venom.

"N-no! You can't do this to me! They can listen! They will.... They... will..." My body started shutting down.

Sorry, this will be a shorter chapter. Pls tell me if you want me to post short chapters that get out faster or longer.

New pony, old changeling

I started slipping into a dream state.

The room was dark. There was a table, a chair, and a silhouette of a pony, most likely a stallion. The room slowly gained color. I could see I was in a kitchen. There were knives in the table. The stallion was a dark shade of purple. He had a smile on his face. His face was blooded, by another pony, I would assume. I started to back away. I felt very small, almost like a 4 or 5 year old. The knives started to float. They started coming at me.

I was small, so I had speed on my side... But he had magic. A dark force behind him. I dashed to my right as a blade nicked my shoulder.

"Ahh!" I screamed at the top of my lunges. He just laughed. I thought everyone had good in them. Not him. Ever the Queen is better than him.She at least has a heart. I ran as he pulled the knives out of the wall. I picked up one of the knives in my mouth. 'I can't do this... I have to... God I hate purple.' I turned around to face him. He seemed surprised that I was defending myself. He didn't stop, though.

The knives rained down upon me once more. This time, I pounced forward to cut his leg. The attack was successful. I stabbed the knife into his leg so it would be harder for him to walk. I ran for the door. It was locked. I pounded on it. I turned around to see him looking down at his leg in shock. I sneaked up behind him and turned around. I bucked him as hard as I could in the a-

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he snarled as I realized I was not going to escape. Knives surrounded me and started cutting me. long slashes, deep ones.

I woke up in a hole with sharp rocks cutting into me. Slashes and lacerations covered my body. My face was covered in deep gashes. My flank was almost tore in two. My body, covered in bruises, gashes, lacerations, and my chitin being scraped up and soft, made me shiver in pain as I laid in a pit filled with sharp rocks. My wings were slightly damaged, but were still working. I placed my hooves on some rounder rocks. I flew up to greet my surroundings. The small amount of pain placed into my wings was bearable compared to what walking would fell like. I was in a forest. It was a very dark and Halloweenish looking forest. One you would find in a horror flick in the old days. The trees were covered in spikes. Everything looked like it could kill me. I tried to find my way up to the sky. When I finally broke through the leaves, I could see a clearing up ahead.

After about 15 minutes of flying, I came upon the clearing and a small cottage.. I remembered something the changelings told me, "If you see even a house, become a pony. If you plan on being there a while, create a new pony. You will not gain much suspicion if you are a new pony." I remembered how to change. 'Ok, who do I want to seen as? I want to be Light pink with a light blue main. Ok. I will also only have wings. If I cant use my horn, why keep it? Also, they all seemed to have a marking of some sort.... Ill have a dark blue flower with a pencil drawing it... yes... Ok... Here... I... Go...' I soon changed into my pony self.

I flew down to the cottage in my new pony form. I knocked on the door despite the pain it caused.

"Oh I'm coming! Just a second..." the butterscotch pony that the queen fought answered the door. "Oh My! Are you ok? Oh you need to get to Twilight! She'll know what to do! Oh dear.." She exclaimed. She then told me where the bathroom was. She said to wash out all my cuts so they are nice and clean. She ran off to get Twilight after that. I couldn't help but feel as though I had heard that name somewhere else. Strange... but no matter. I should get cleaned up.

"Twilight, Twilight!" Fluttershy yelled. Twilight looked up from her book.

"What's wrong, Fluttershy?" Twilight had a worried look on her face.

"There's a pony... She is very badly hurt. She came out of the Everfree. Her body is covered in cuts. She needs help." Fluttershy responded.

"Ok, lets go," Twilight then teleported them away.

I finished cleaning out my cuts when I heard a door open. "She is upstairs in the bathroom." I heard the yellow pony say. I then heard hoofsteps coming up the stares. A knock on the door. I said "Come in.." although my voice was weak, I forced this out. I was still flying, out of pain and fear of touching my hooves to the ground.

"Oh my Celestia! Fluttershy was right! You do need help!" Twilight gawked over how badly my body was cut up. In a bright flash of light, I was in a hospital bed, with an I.V. Twilight's horn began to glow once more. I was then knocked out.

I was in a lovely meadow. Flowers and cherry blossoms lined the beautiful landscape. I was at one end, in my human form. My long blond hair blew in the soft breeze. My long pink dress waved softly. My hazel eyes glistened in the bright sunlight. At the other end, my changeling form stood. At her end of the field, the moon gave a soft magical appearance to the trees and flowers. Fireflies danced in the soft breeze and my counterpart sat and looked at me. I walked to her. As I crossed into the moon light, my body changed into my pony form. I sat in front of my counterpart and looked at her. She spook, "They will not accept you. You know this to be true. They did not accept me. I was almost killed. When you died, you took my place in Equestria. I died. I gave up my life so you could live it. We both were cast aside from the leader in our world. we both suffered from many things. Now, you can live and I can finally have peace. You have a burden. You cannot fail. If you do, your nightmares will consume you. If you succeed..."

She trailed off. The world started to fade away. I asked "What? What will happen?" but it was too late. She was gone. "I cannot fail..."
