Crimson Night

Celestia was startled when, after a few hours, Twilight had began twitching and was suddenly awake and hissing in pain.

“Twilight what's wrong?” Celestia asked, stepping off of the bed.

“H-h-hurts!” Twilight whined out. Suddenly, with a yelp of pain, it seemed Twilight's back exploded. Blood spattered the wall behind Twilight and dripped down from sleek black bat-like wings. They weren't like the Night guards. They were longer and wider, almost like a dragon, but not quite as Draconic.

“T-twilight?” Celestia said, staring at the Unicorn. Twilight didn't respond, she just sat there panting.

“Twilight are you alright?” Celestia asked. When Twilight didn't answer, but instead slumped back down, she got closer and examined the Unicorn. She noticed her eyes were glazed over, she was still unconscious.

“Is everything alright?” one of the Doctors called through the closed door.

“Yes Doctor, just a...bad dream.” Celestia said.

“Alright then.” he said.

“Wait Doctor, could you find my sister?”

“She actually told me she is indisposed...apparently the Changeling queen is here. But to assure peace and to apologize.” the Doctor said.

“...Bring them both in here please...I do not wish to leave Twilight, but I need to be part of that.” Celestia said, using her magic to once again clear the room of gore as she saw the doctor's shadow nod it's head and leave.

“Sister, this is rather unorthodox...” Luna said, coming in first.

“I know, but I don't want to leave her now...look, they just pushed out of her back...it was very painful to watch...” Celestia said, pointing to the wings. Luna gasped.

“oh no...she must have gotten them from my blood...I will have to test her abilities once more to see what else is changed...Come in in now Chrysalis!” Luna called over her shoulder.

“Luna! What about Twilight?” Celestia hissed.

“She knows of Vamponies.” Luna said. Celestia sighed as Chrysalis and a Changeling guard entered.

“That's...interesting.” Chrysalis said upon noticing Twilight.

“It's one of your concern...so...I hear you are here for peace?” Celestia asked, trying not to let the resentment of her own defeat ruin this chance.

“Yes...You cannot believe how sorry I am for what I did to you and Cadence and everypony else...I was desperate, my people were dieing...but I have to thank you...you forced us to find another means of getting love to sustain us...” Chrysalis explained, her voice seemed to be fuller and less strained now.

“What is the alternative?” Celestia asked.

“Natural Love.” a Male voice said. What looked like a Male version of Chrysalis, but without wings and plain silver armor, walked in.

“Princess Celestia, meet King Metamorphosis.” Chrysalis said.

“Or just Meta for short.” he said.

“Wait...I thought you said you are incapable of love.” Twilight's voice asked. Celestia and Luna quickly looked at her, she was looking attentively at the newcomers.

“Twilight, you are awake?” Luna asked.

“Yeah...since she walked in...” Twilight responded. “I was also awake when these came too...but I passed out...” she continued, looking curiously at the wings.

“Wait, your wings just appeared?” Chrysalis asked.

“Yeah...I don't really know if I can forgive you for almost hurting my brother just yet...but I know you can be trusted and this peace thing is sincere...” Twilight said, hopping off of the bed.

“How can you tell?” Luna asked.

“Well...she has nothing but sincerity and regret in her eyes and voice. And I can just feel the connection between her and King Meta...they actually love each other.” Twilight said.

“It seems you've gained a new ability of insight...” Celestia mumbled.

“No...I had an eye for details before...I guess it just got better.” Twilight said, cracking her neck.

“it seems my blood has given you general power...” Luna said.

“I am sorry Chrysalis, we are getting side tracked.” Celestia said.

“No worries...if she is in the infirmary then she is hurt...I see you have a scar Twilight Sparkle. And you are now a Vampony. I suspect much has happened since we last...met...” Chrysalis said.

“Yeah...I kinda fought off an Ursa Major by myself...” Twilight said.

“Really? That is amazing.” Chrysalis said.

“Yeah...that's what Everypony is telling me...so um...have you seen Cadence or Shining Armor since back then?” Twilight asked.

“Actually yes we did. It was on our way here actually...they were resentful...but eventually we managed to start a conversation...we stayed with them for hours until they finally forgave us...” Meta said.

“they forgave you?” Luna asked.

“Yes...they understood I was desperate and only doing it for my people...and besides, we gave them a late wedding present to show our regret.” Chrysalis said.

“What did you give them?” Twilight asked.

“We gave them Changeling Wine.” Meta said.

“What's the difference?” Luna asked.

“Changeling wine is about three times stronger than Whiskey, but has the taste to match.” Chrysalis replied.

“Oh...that sounds...interesting.” Celestia said. A little known secret of Celestia, she had a weakness for good strong drink. “We can offer a trade agreement, we're low on food. We can trade the wine for excess food.” Chrysalis said.

“That is very agreeable.” Celestia said with a grin. Luna rolled her eyes. Twilight laughed.

“Well Queen Chrysalis. You, King Meta and your guards are welcome to stay...it is getting late. I am glad we have mended the resentment between us.” Celestia said.

“It makes us just as glad, maybe even more. Thank you Princess Celestia. I hope you will grow to forgive me Twilight Sparkle...you are such a good friend to your own friends, I would love to have you as mine.” Chrysalis said.

“Well we can be friends...I don't resent you, I just haven't fully forgiven you.” Twilight said. Chrysalis lit up at that. She actually bowed to them before leaving.

“Well today has been...interesting...I need to go to bed...it has been exhausting...I recommend you get some sleep too sister.” Celestia said.

“No I am quite awake. I wish to teach Twilight to fly as well.” Luna said.

“Are you feeling better?” Celestia asked.

“I feel better than I ever have.” Twilight replied with a happy smile.

“Fine...Luna, we will speak in the morning.” Celestia said.

“Of course sister.” Luna replied. When she left Luna grinned at Twilight.

“Come on!” she said giddily as she flew out of the window.

“You don't need to teach me anything. Before I passed out I thought of that course and taught myself how to do it!” Twilight exclaimed as she joined Luna. “They looked a lot different though...these real ones are so much bigger!” she continued.

“That's perfect. We can just Enjoy the night!” Luna exclaimed.

“Exactly! You know...this heightened ability to see the little things works on myself too...while I was unconscious, I was thinking a lot about you and I.” Twilight started. Luna was surprised by the sudden change of subject, and was startled momentarily by the Unicorn tackling her in the air, but saving them from smashing into the ground and instead landed, pinning Luna to the ground under her.

“I know for sure now that I love you.” Twilight finished. Luna could not have been happier, the joy she felt even tied what she felt when she was back in Equestria again. This joy showed as she leaned up and caught Twilight in a kiss. She was Delighted when Twilight returned it. She rolled them over, so Twilight was under her, and broke it for a second.

“You know...my quarters are much more comfortable then the grass.” she said with a seductive tone. She meant for it as a joke, even though she actually meant what it implied, and so was shocked by Twilight's answer.

“It might just be your blood going through me and all of my new energy. But that sounds like a Great idea.” Twilight said, putting emphasis on the great. Luna grinned and they took off into the air, landing on the balcony of Luna's tower.
