Cursed

Jinx threw the blanket off the hospital bed. The Hive was surprsingly... cozy. It's no Hoofton Hotel, but nicer than she expected.

She had learned that Changelings don't eat normal food, they eat love. And they're very, very generous. A nurse had left some toast for Jinx that morning. Her bad wing was bound to her body in a cobwebby bandage. Her scratches and small cut had been treated, too.

With some difficulty, Jinx levitated a brush to the bed and attempted to rid her mane of twigs and burrs. She winced at the first few strokes, but she pushed on. Slowly but surely, her mane became less of a squirrel nest. Once she tamed her mane back down to it's usual style, she proceeded to brush her tail.

When she finished, she put the brush back. Then Jinx just stared blackly at the dark walls. She slid out of bed and hesitantly stepped out into the hall. And ran into Venom.

"Hey!" I was looking for you!" he exclaimed upon collision.

"And I was looking for something to do," Jinx grumbled, lifting herself off the ground. "Do you guys have any books here?"

"Uh, no. We just settled here a few years ago after the Equestria thing."

"Damn. It's really boring here. I want a grand tour," Jinx said.

"I'm not sure that your wing..."

"Alicorns heal faster than normal ponies." Jinx reassured.

"Okay," Venom said doubtfully. "But if something goes wrong, your not pinning it on me."

"Deal. I need a change of scenery," Jinx walked further out of the room. "Where to?"

"And this is the bar, where Trap and Changelings like him come and get drunk." Venom gestured to a room with lauhgter and high pitched shattering could be heard.

"Lovely. What're those down the hall?" Jinx looked over Venom's shoulder.

Venom blushed, a deep rouge set against the black shell. "It's nothing. It's just-"

"Something I haven't seen." Jinx finished. She could feel less energy pulsing to her wounded wing and various scrapes. She might have enough to...

"You are not going back there." Venom said firmly.

"Oh really?" Jinx levitated him with teal magic. She trotted past, pulling him in tow.

"Stop! You can't go in-" he protested, his voice slightly warped from the magic field levitating him.

Jinx threw the door open and giggled. The room had pillows thrown all across the floor and blankets strewn everywhere. Posters of Chrysalis were plastered on every square inch the wall offered. They were red and blue pictures of the Changeling queen that had a single word captioned onto it: LOVE.

"I told you. My mom glued them to the walls." he sulked.

"It's hilarious," Jinx laughed. "Now what's in that next one?"

He shook his head. "I honestly don't know,"

Let's find out," Jinx left Venom's room and opened the other door. Her retina's seemed to burn themselves at the sight before them.

"I didn't know my mom was in porn, Jinx. I swear." Venom panicked.

"I didn't think that either," Jinx said in a daze. "Let's go."

"Yes, let's."

They left as fast as they could.

"We shall never speak of this again." Jinx murmured after minutes of silence between the pair.

"Agreed."
