Six Locks

Chapter 4: Problems

I signed as I sat at the meeting table. My dining room was dark, fear and dread as wood. Being Death is hard, but tea time always calms me down. The chandelier above me is of black crystalline structures. The doors to this room swung open with a trickster entering the room. Chrysalis was not looking too happy.

"Ugh, my plan is falling apart!" She screamed.

"And what do you expect me to do about it?" I asked, sipping my tea calmly.

"Well, the humans are already corrupted!" She yelled.

"Wasn't that the idea in the first place?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"No, they were supposed to become attached to those freaking ponies first!" She yelled. I took a sip of my tea and set it down.

"Well, we can't kill them again, it was a nightmare to try and make the first deaths convincing enough," I said. Chrysalis groaned.

"Ugh, we'll just have to fix this ourselves, obviously this won't fix itself. Is there good news about the other five?" She asks.

"Jacob's becoming suicidal, Tom is a drunk, Henry and Max are serial killers, and Joe is lost with this equinox version of Applejack. Remind me again why I have to watch five of them while you watch one?" I said, taking a calm sip of my tea.

"Well, Sam is ridiculously hard to control. It's like he's invisible all of a sudden, and turns up being happy. Now no more questions, Equestria will rue the day they defeated me," Chrysalis continued. She started pacing. "Now, the question is, how are we going to fix the Human Six?" She asked. I took a sip of my tea. She prefers to come up with ideas without my help so I laid back. She grew a wicked smile, chuckling evilly. "Death? It's time to make some chaos," she said. I saw insanity in her eyes and I sighed. I knew how she's going to die, and I want it to be soon at this rate. She trotted off, leaving me with my tea.

"If only you knew," I said as I took a sip. "Queen Chrysalis, if you mind, Sam is about to be helped. He's noticing everything now and he is taking notice of his history. Give him a little time. He'll do it properly and then screw up, trust me."
