The Long road for love and life book one
Chapter 4 halfway to death a new chance for a life
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt took months for me to get back to my self so much so that I was put into a pod, I still grew slowly healing as I was the diamond dog's worst nightmare, even though I had no direct contact I could feel them, I saw what they had done and how THEY ENJOYED IT!!.
So I made them pay, they were useless for healing in this state but I made them wish they had of died, I tourcherd them making sure to learn from my mistakes and my triumphant making new nightmares, why did I not just stay in the pod and continue to be sick i did not understand but i really did not care, Laura came to me one day in my dream state and..well whent down my throat about how selfish I had been, I did not deny it how could I?
I tried to explain about how they had enjoyed killing her and injuring the others, I told her about what had happened after I found her, and how there was nothing left of the quarry eel and one diamond dog, how whatever I did knock out the other dogs, then I realized something, "you're not really her are you?" She focused her eyes in surprise, "what makes you think that!?" she said " Well vespids can not dream, and for what it is worth I am sorry miss Luna" the look of shock grow as her reply but I continued, "I meant no harm to anyone and yet I have coursed harm to those dogs and I think that i enjoyed it...that's the worst part, and it is only now (I collapse on the ground) I feel sorry for them, I lost my self to anger and hate, that is why I was put in here, I think I know what to do but I would to ask you a favor if I may please".
She just looked shocked and in a curious tone said " what is that?"the changeling Luna said "Could you please changes back to your own form as I know what I must do and it is upsetting me" I released tendrils of healing magic and I relist them from the nightmares and torment that I had done to them, as soon as I did my heart started feeling warm and started beating normally again,
it felt like being locked away in the cold for years and finding the heat of the sun for the first time, the changing in front of me turned into her original Luna self "I must say I am shocked at how you knew it was I, normally I have to show myself because of the dreamers dream, which starts to makes you see what I want you to see, you are stronger and wiser than most, what you were doing was wrong, and I to know what it is like to be in that dark and cold place, but we did not expect to meet someone so strong of heart, we will need to tell our sister of this news maybe we'll meet again"
And as if she seemed to somehow knew I was beginning to wake up she disappeared. As i started waking up I could feel the nutritional fluid flow in and out of my mouth and nose, it felt like breathing in smell less taste less liquid air, I did not have long to ponder this sensation as the pod started to drain, I unceremoniously coughed up what was left in my lungs, after this I opened my eyes,
My vision was covered in black clouds which slowly began to returned to me as my vision became more clear as the pod cracked and clicked open, as soon as the green tinged ripple cover lifted upwards, and as the light came rushing into the pod, I found myself temporarily blinded again.
"I am sorry for everything that I did" I said as my eyes began to adjust to the light, I noticed they were female by their sent, and that I had never meet them before, but I continued "I am sorry for letting the hive down by being selfish"
One of the females turned her head to one side" what are you talking about?" To which the other joined in "I don't get it, you killed a query ell which was on a path towards a hatchery and defeated the group's leader, knocked out about ten diamond dogs, not to mention some of the ones that were behind those, exactly how were you being selfish again?" Again the other one picked up from where the last left off,"if anything you're a hero, I guess using so much magic at onecs was not a great idea what possessed you to do something so,so, stupidly dangerous?"
So I explained every thing that I thought had happened to me and what had, when I had finished the two of them stared at me unblinking until "wow you must of hit your head harder than we thought (the one on my right said trying not to laugh) it has only been about two days and the captives are in the tanks in the other part of the hive until we find out more about them, after all they did attack us so we may end up with feed tanks for emergencies".
Evan tho we don't attack others, if we have their tribe men sometimes we would receive compensation from the tribe for the return of their kin, or they would be used to heal those who were badly injured and beyond the care of the pods themselves. It was not frowned upon nor was it common practice, as we did try not to use the emotions of others as our ancestors did in the dark times.
The other changeling joined in again after the first, "oh how denics can I and my sister get (she hoof faced) my name is jenny and this is my sister penny" I instantly began to leave the pod I turned to jenny and stuck my right hoof out without thinking, Jenny stared at my outstretched hoof and followed the action,
a gasp left her mouth as I began to shake her hoof "it is very good to meet you miss Jenny my name is Paul" I then turned to Penny and repeated the gesture, and after seeing the actions of the gestor used on her sister she was prepared for it as she shacked here hoof more confidently "it is very nice to meet you to miss Penny" I notice that they were both blushing.
"Oh I almost forgot a runner came by to tell you to go back to the main chambers as mother wants to see you" they both gave a little sad disappointing shy, "that's a putty" Jenny said as quietly as possible, her sister Penny joined in as if to cover the disappointment that I could feel, I also felt there was well a longing to know me better let's just say.
"Orders are orders" and with that I noded and set off, a little bit more confused than anything, now we are not heartless but the other changelings seemed to get over things like death quicker than me, but I could still feel a little pain at the what could've been, I than relies that I was somehow indeed in a different part of the hive, scratch that a completely different part of the country, and if I am correct I was about ten days fast march from where I was, I think I could've pondered about this all day if I did not need to concentrate to find my way, I could also feel the pain of loss leave me, but I could not forget Laura and I knew I never would, but I knew that the pain would not be there for ever or at least not as bad.
