All hail the queen

All hail the queen-Sudden changes

After running out of the hall from the disappointed stares and angry glares, she fled to her old room, and sat down on her bed.

As twilight sat down and cried her eyes out,she wondered why her friends took the imposters side. " They only knew her for a day, and she isn't even the real Cadance. I thought that after all we had been through they would think better of me. "

She suddenly heard a chuckle, and a voice that sounded like it was eating gravel saying, " Well, they must not be very good friends, are they?"

Lighting up horn, Twilight turned around and spat " Who's there!?"

The voice started to laugh, and a huge white worm crawled out of the ground. It had Snow White skin, blank blue eyes, and was almost the size of a pony. When it spoke, four flaps of skin opened like a compass. "Who I am is not important. The question is, what are you feeling?"

Twilight gave a confused glance and said " Betrayed." With tears in her eyes, she told the worm of her tale. As she went on, it would give a sympathetic nod of its head here and there.

When she finished her story, it gave a slow shake of its head, and said " Well, that is a very sad story. In fact, it makes me want to help. No one should be betrayed by one they would call family."

Twilight looked at the worm and said " Um, no offense, but how are you going to help? Your just a worm, and I don't think worms can do much. Just dig, and spit out what they eat."

It chuckled and said " Trust me. I'll give you the power to save your loved ones, and make it to where they won't be able to ignore you anymore. All I need you to do is close your eyes."

Twilight laid back on the bed and closed her eyes. " Ok, but no funny business, alright?"

The worm chuckled and said " Don't worry. You'll will have enough power to save your friends." She felt it slither up to her chest, and say "Now, this may sting a little."

She felt an indescribable amount of pain as a host of sharp teeth ripped out a part of her chest. Her eyes shot open to see a huge hole with blood pouring out of it, like a waterfall.

" Why?" The worm looked her in her eyes, and said in a scolding tone" Just give me a minute. Sure, you'll be dead for a couple of hours, but you'll come back stronger. Just let me do my thing."

Twilight tried to use her hooves to pull the worm out, but she lacked the strength to lift them. As her vision faded in and out, she felt some wet squishy orbs being placed in her chest. The worm crawled up to her face and said " Sweet dreams." Then, everything faded to black.

Twilight woke up, gasping for breath. As she shook her head, she called out " Spike,girls, I just had the weirdest dream. My brother was getting to a fake Cadance and when I said she was a fake, none of you believed me. Then, this weird worm said he could help me, and then he dug into my chest, and put something in the hole."

" Well, that sounds like a crazy dream." A familiar worm, with its gravel eating eating voice, crawled back into view. " Good thing this is real life huh?"

Twilight jumped off the bed and lit up her horn, ready to disintegrate the beast."What did you do!"

The worm shook its head and said " I did what I said I would do. Take a look in the mirror." Twilight gave a untrusting look at the worm. With an exasperated sigh, it said like one would speak with a child " If you don't trust me don't look. But If you don't look, you won't see your new appearance. It's quite different, your majesty."

Confused, Twilight walked over to the mirror, and saw a stranger in the mirror. She still had her horn, but now she had a set of dark purple, almost black wings, resting on her back. Her mane and tail was a dark purple mixed with pure white flecks, like stars.She opened her mouth to gasp, and saw that she had razor sharp teeth, like nightmare moon's.

' No, I am nothing like nightmare moon. Also, Wings! I have wings, and my fur changed, and my horn is longer. Almost as long as Princess Celestia's, the traitor.

Stopping for a second, she thought ' Wait, why was I thinking that? She would never willingly betray me, she's being tricked by that imposter, just like the rest of them.'

'Yes, but she's known you for year, and knows you wouldn't freak out like that unless you had some reason, regardless if it makes sense to anypony else. Plus, Cadance is an alicorn. She has to live with her for eternity so of course she is going to take her side.

As this chain of thought went round and round through her head, she felt sorrow that her mentor wouldn't believe her.

'Hey, cheer up. All we have to do is find the real cadence, kill the imposter, and everything will go back to normal. Ok, maybe not EVERYTHING will go back to normal, but it will be ok. We can work with this. Plus, we're an alicorn now. She can't just ignore us this time.'

Realizing the logic behind the voices words, she exclaimed " Yeah, your right. Let's go find Cadance." As she headed out the door, she turned her head and called " Hey worm, what's your name?"

The worm looked at her with what looked like pride, and maybe a hint of satisfaction, and said " As I've said before ms Sparkle, my name does not matter. But if you feel the need to name me, call me W-1, or Lllw."

Maybe I will see you later Lliw." As she rushed out the door, she did not see what was happening behind her.

The worm grew legs, and it's head grew till it resembled that of an equine. Within a few minutes, a pony stood where the worm used to be. Speaking out to the air, it said " Syntheia, darkness has been revealed. I'm returning until time to harvest." With that, it willed itself out of the room.
