Violet-Rose Equestria Tales

Violet found herself in an open field, her mother was pushing her on a swing. They were laughing and giggling, but then Violet felt a cold chill on her back and the sky went dark.

She jumped off the swing and faced her mother, but her mother was gone, instead was a pegasus mare draped in a green cloak. She had her hood up and was cradling something in her hooves.

Then a strong gust of wind blew the hood back and Violet was shocked to see the mare had a butter coloured coat and light pink hair.

“Fluttershy?” she asked.

The mare took no notice. Violet started to approach the mare, but was shocked when the mare started screaming. “No! Don’t take her! Don’t take my baby! Take me instead!”

Violet felt her stomach churn. Somepony was trying to take this mares baby. She had to stop whoever it was. But for some reason, she couldn’t move. Violet watched in horror as a large swarm of black swallowed the mare up.

“NOOOO!” Violet cried as the swarm advanced on her. She screamed as her world turned to darkness. A low evil, distinctly feminie voice started to cackle. Then out of nowhere a pair of glowing green eyes appeared and shot straight at Violet.

The last thing she heard was her own screams.

Violet woke up with a jolt and coated in sweat. It was a dream.

She looked up at the clock. It read 3:32 am.

She groaned in annoyance. Ever since she came to Equestria, these nightmares kept coming. All involved her mother, that swarm of black and that evil cackle. After calming down, she drifted back to sleep, but something told her that these dreams were linked to her mother’s disappearance. When she woke it was 6 am, Fluttershy was still asleep. Violet decided that these dreams must have something to do with her mother, but what?

She then remembered Twilight lived in a library and must have something on the manner.

Quiet as a mouse, she put on her treasured scarf and tip-toed past her sleeping roommates. She left a note on the door telling them where she’s gone and exited the front door. The streets of Ponyville were silent, apart from the ponies walking to work.

Violet navigated her way to Twilight’s library in a matter of minutes.

She politely knocked on the door and Twilight answered. “Violet! What a surprise! Come in, Spike made eggs on toast.” The princess exclaimed.

Violet sat down at the dining table with Twilight and Spike. Twilight served her a plate of eggs and buttered toast.

“So, why are you here?” she asked. “Is it those nightmares again?”

Violet could only nod. “Ah, so spill. What happened this time?”

Violet explained her nightmare, Spike and Twilight listened with wide eyes. “Woah…so you keep seeing your mother, this mare who looks like Fluttershy, a swarm of black and this evil mares voice.” Twilight said.

“That pretty much sums it up.”

“And you think it has something on your mother’s disappearance.” Twilight asked.

Violet looked down at her hooves. “Yes.”

Twilight got up from her chair and started searching through books. “I’ll see what I can find.”

The alicorn started to flip through book after book. Violet just watched, eating her eggs.

“Spike, can you come and help?” Twilight asked. The baby dragon got up and started to look through the shelves.

“Twilight! I think I found something.” he said, holding up a book titled, ‘History of Equestria, Past 50 years or Less’.

“Huh…not what I was hoping for, but it’ll do.” Twilight set the book down with her magic and flipped through it.

Violet and Spike crowded around to see. “No, no, no,” Twilight muttered, flipping the pages. Then she stopped. “Huh…The Rainbow of Light?” She started to read the chapter out loud. “The Rainbow of Light is a powerful magical artefact which was created after the Elements of Harmony disappeared. It was created by Princess Celestia, but was left in the care of the Moochick. But 30 years ago, three human children came to Equestria. The Rainbow of Light was given to the eldest of the three, a girl named Megan. They used it to expel evil from our lands with the help of eight ponies; Firefly, Surprise, Sparkler, Apple Cider, Orange Seed, Rainbow Blaze, Posey and Twilight Velvet,”

Twilight jumped back and stared at the book. “MY MOTHER!” she cried.

“What?” Violet asked.

“Twilight Velvet is my Mom; I wonder why she never told me about humans.”

“Strange, keep reading.” Twilight cleared her throat and continued reading.

“The children kept coming back to Equestria as the Rainbow of Light is the only way back to Equestria, but after a 10 years, only the boy came back, for he had lost his sisters and wanted to be with Posey, as did she. It is rumoured that the boy became a pony and a filly was born from the two when they were twenty-five, but this has never been confirmed as Posey and the boy disappeared from Equestria 10 years ago, taking the Rainbow of Light and supposed filly with them. Posey’s twin sister, Rosey was never the same again…”

Twilight flipped over the next page, but it was gone. “That’s funny? The page is missing?”

“So…I wasn’t the first human to come into Equestria.” Violet said, rereading that one line.

“Apparently so, what gets me is that Celestia and my Mom never mentioned this to me.” Twilight said.

“But this doesn’t explain the swarm of black.” Violet said, reminding Twilight.

“I think I have a hunch, but can you give me more detail on the swarm?” Violet thought, trying to remember what she saw.

“Well, I can remember green eyes but no pupils, insect-like wings and a larger creature with long cobweb hair. I think that is who was making the cackle.” she explained. Twilight and Spike had turned white. Twilight felt a sudden realisation come over her.

“Violet…I think I know what you’re seeing,” she shuddered.

“Really? What are those things?” Violet asked, but instead of an answer she got.

“You have to leave Equestria and never come back.”

“What?” Violet asked, sharply.

“You heard me! You have to go back. It’s not safe for you anymore.” Twilight shouted.

“It’s not safe for me to go back to the Human World, I’m homeless there and your telling me to go back to a world where I’m living a wasteland!” Violet yelled.

“YOU’LL BE SAFE THERE!”

“SAFE FROM WHAT! THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS TELL ME WHAT THE BLACK SWARM IS!”

“I CAN’T TELL YOU, YOU DON’T BELONG HERE. EVEN IF DISCORD DID TURN YOU INTO A PONY, YOU’LL NEVER BE ONE OF US!” The words were out of Twilight’s mouth before she realised what was saying.

She shrank back when she saw the hurt, angry and disappointed look on Violet’s face. “Violet…I…” she sputtered.

“No I understand perfectly,” Violet whispered in a cold tone. “You’re just trying to get me to go back, you guys were never really my friends, were you!”

“Violet, we are your friends. Those things I said, I didn’t mean any of it.”

“You meant every single word,” Violet snapped. “God I’m such a fool for believing that I was actually welcome here.”

She then ran out the door and a flurry of tears. Twilight and Spike ran after her. “Violet! Come back!” they cried.

“LEAVE. ME. ALONE!” Violet screamed, a multi-coloured light emitted from her chest, blasting them backwards into the library wall. Violet started running at top speed, crying and screaming. Twilight tried to follow, but lost sight of her. She collapsed to the ground in tears.

“Sweet Celestia, what have I done.” she sobbed.

Spike sent letters to the rest of the Mane Six, informing them that Violet had run off. In seconds, they all came running, even Comet was there making Twilight feel even more guilty. “What happened!” he demanded.

“I yelled at her and she got mad and ran off in the direction of the Forest.”

Everyone paled at this news. “You better not be talking about the Everfree Forest.” he said.

“I’m afraid so.”

Comet instantly ran the direction of the Everfree Forest, the rest following behind him. They all stopped at the entrance to the dark forest.

“Does she even know of the dangers in this place?” Rainbow demanded.

Twilight hung her head.

Comet started pacing. “No, no, no! What if she gets lost, or eaten, or killed!”

“Comet, calm down!” Applejack cried.

“CALM DOWN! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN CALM DOWN?! MY MAREFRIEND IS SOMEWHERE IN THIS FOREST NOT KNOWING WHAT COULD BE LURKING IN THOSE TREES!”

He yelped as Discord picked him up by the tail. “Comet, listen to me. I understand that your freaking out, but now’s not the time to panic,” he dropped him onto ground. “We need a plan.”

“Let’s slit up so we can cover more ground.” Pinkie chimed.

“Good idea,” They all crowded into a huddle.

“Okay here’s the drill; Twilight, Rainbow you two scan the forest from the sky. “AJ, Rarity and Pinkie, you three go check the left side of the forest. Fluttershy, Comet and I will do the right. Any sign of her, send out green sparks, if you’re in trouble, red. Spike, you stay here in town in case she comes back. Meet back at the library in an hour, got it!” Discord instructed.

“Got it!” they all said, splitting up into their separate groups.

Somewhere deep in the forest, Violet was running. The voices in her head were ringing.

“I’ll never leave you, honey.”

“Your dad was a hero, remember that.”

“Oh Violet, did you really think I would ever be with you.”

“I’m off to pick up your birthday cake sweetie, I’ll be back in an hour.”

Lies. They were all lies. And she was a fool to believe them! She finally stopped and collapsed on the ground and sobbed into her hooves. Her scarf had fallen off a while back, she didn’t bother to go back for it. She looked up at the dark trees towering over her. Violet then realized that she did not know where she was. How could she have been so stupid? She had been so intent on getting as far away from Twilight as possible that she had not been paying attention to where she was going. What was this place? It looked so unnatural and spooky. Everything about the forest gave her chills. She considered flying above the trees to find a way out, but she was so tired she just curled up into a ball. She wanted to go home. She wanted answers. She wished that her mother was there. “Violet?” She looked up as a familiar voice entered her ears.
No, it couldn’t be?

“Violet?” it called again.

She couldn’t believe it. “Mom?”

She turned in the direction of the voice, seeing a figure emerge from the trees. It stepped into the light, revealing it to be exactly who she thought it was. “Violet, thank goodness!”

The teenager stood up. “MOM!”

Overjoyed, she rushed to her mother and nuzzled her head against her. Daphne wrapped her arms around her and gently stroked her hair.

“I missed you so much!” Violet exclaimed. “How did you know it was me?”

“You look just like your father, even as a pony.”

Her eyes shot open in confusion. “What are you talking about?”

“You have a lighter coloured coat to his own, but you have my beautiful green eyes.”

Violet shrugged it off but then grew suspicious. “Wait. How did you get here?”

“I came on the rainbow of course.” She looked up at her mother. “You mean the Rainbow of Light?”

Daphne’s smile wavered. “Yes, now let’s get you home. Your father’s worried sick.”

Violet was about to follow, but paused. “Did you say ‘Dad’ was worried?”

“Of course honey, he’s your father. He cares about you.”

Her eyes widened and she slowly backed away from the woman. Something wasn’t right. She narrowed her eyes at her. “You’re not my mom.”

“What are you talking about, sweetie? Of course, I’m your mother.”

“No you’re not.”

“You’ve been through a lot, sweetheart. Come with me and your questions will be answered…”

“My Dad died two years ago.”

The imposter stopped in her tracks and glared at Violet. “You humans are smarter then you look.”

A green light enveloped her and the woman transformed into the ghastliest creature, Violet had ever seen. She was in the shape of an alicorn, but her wings were insect-like, her horn was like an antler and her legs were like swiss cheese. Her sleek body was black and her messy blue hair was like cobwebs. On her head was a small crown. Violet knew that this was the thing from her dreams. The owner of the voice.

“Who are you?!”

The creature smirked. “I am Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changelings and soon all of Equestria. And you’re the offspring of that meddlesome boy and his little mare friend!”

Her horn glowed and Violet tried to make a run for it, but a sticky green substance was spattered on her hooves, rooting her to the spot.

“It’s been so long since a human has been in Equestria,” Chrysalis mused, circling the girl.

“How did you know?” Violet inquired.

“One of my scouts saw Discord turn you into a pony.”

She lifted the girl’s chin. “The resemblance between you and your parents is uncanny, except your purple.”

Violet wrenched her head away. “What are you talking about, my parents never set foot in Equestria!”

The changeling threw her head back in a laugh. “I see! They didn’t tell you, did they?”

“Didn’t tell me what?”

“Interesting?”

“Shut up and get me out of this!”

“Ah, yes. You are just as stubborn as your parents. Tell me, did they tell you about our little encounter thirty years ago?”

Violet said nothing.

“I didn’t think so. Well, my dear, the arrival of your aunts and father was an interesting development for me. They were given the Rainbow of Light by that foolish Moochick. Even if they did defeat many villains, but they had no clue on what they were in for.”

"I learned of the Rainbow when your father came back into Equestria. He was in mourning as his sisters were killed in an accident and wanted to get away from everything. Posey was the only one who cared for him and Princess Celestia made him a pony, as a result…you were born.”

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!” Violet shrieked.

“Your just as annoying as your mother. When you were four, I had started to make my move. I took your fathers form and told Posey that he had to tell his family that he was okay. But your mother found out a way to stop me and Celestia said that you had to go to your world, to keep you safe. Oh the things parents do for their children, it’s disgusting! I thought Celestia destroyed the rainbow, but I was wrong. It fused with your soul instead. Now you’re here, I can use your power to travel between worlds, as well as find food for my subjects.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

“So you know your past, before I destroy you.”

“Wait, what?” she shrieked as the green ooze inched up her legs.

“Once we have successfully travelled to the human world,” Chrysalis explained, “you won’t be of any use to us. That substance will encase your body completely and will suffocate you in a matter of minutes! Don’t worry. I’ll tell your friends what happened to you.”

“You’re sick!” Violet cried.

“If that’s what you consider an insult, it’s a feeble attempt. Moth! Cobweb!” Two changelings Violet’s size appeared at their Queens side. “Make sure she does not escape.”

One of them buzzed something in her ear. “Yes, you may feed on her. She won’t last long anyway.” The lieutenants cackled and hovered beside Violet. Chrysalis’ horn and she turned into Violet.

“I’ll be sure to give your friends a proper goodbye,” she said in the girl’s voice. Violet tried to yank herself free as her double took to the skies, cackling maliciously.

“You leave my friends out of this!” she shouted.

“You monster!” As she squirmed, the ooze reached the end of her legs. It would only be a matter of time before it would close at her head.
