Metamorphosis

The Nightmare

*This is a short chapter with slightly harsh language near the end*

Chrysalis sighed, she was running low on energy and the spell Shining armor and Cadence used to defeat her had rid her of all the love she had stolen from Shining armor. She was busy rallying her swarm and cutting off those no longer fit to serve her. Any of the changeling's cut from the swarm would die shortly after. "It seems I'm just going to have to steal some more.." Chrysalis grinned and projected her mind towards Canterlot in search of a certain pony. She felt Shining armors mental presence and was relieved to know that he was sleeping due to the exhaustion of her feeding from him. Chrysalis began to subtly enter his sleeping conscious intent on worsening his condition. She closed her eyes and entered his dream.

I awoke in the morning and looked around "Cadence are you there?" I called to her to see if she was outside the door but when no answer came I was confused. She wouldn't have left me without telling me first, I felt well enough to get up and I started walking towards the door I opened it and was shocked to see that the place looked abandoned "Is anypony there?" I called out. I grew worried and hoped that Cadence was alright. I started to search for her, for anyone but I only grew more confused as I trotted around the hospital looking for any sign of life. Maybe the changeling's had returned! I rushed towards the exit only to find that the door was locked. I tried to open it with magic but It was sealed with another pony's magic. "What? who would lock this door with magic?" I thought. At that moment I heard a recently familiar voice in my head. "Your not going anywhere soon.. Shining armor." I turned around to see the one and only Changeling queen Chrysalis. "What did you do? where is Cadence you monster!" I yelled and charged at her only to collapse in pain before I could even reach her. "Ah ah Shining, shouldn't you know better by now? You cant hurt me anymore" I ground my teeth together "What the hell did you do to me?!" Chrysalis grinned menacingly "You'll see... very soon you will know..." She vanished into thin air and the lights shattered above me. "Get back here you coward!" I bellowed and looked around in the dark for her. I couldn't see anything in the now pitch black hospital hallway. I felt myself get bucked into a wall, When I hit the ground I landed on shattered glass and I groaned in pain. I heard cracking glass as Chrysalis stepped on the glass with her hardened outer layer of skin. The sound was getting closer and I struggled to get up, Halfway up I was slammed back into the glass. I was bleeding everywhere, I looked at Chrysalis and all I could see was her terrible green eyes. I was starting to get dizzy when she stomped on my chest with one hoof and brought her face down to mine. Her eyes were now staring into my soul and I felt myself starting to lose consciousness when I saw her show her fangs. My eyes shot wide open when I realized what she was going to do but it was to late to resist. Chrysalis bit down on my neck and I felt a sense of paralysis go throughout my body. Losing control of my body I couldn't help but lie motionless and watch her. To my surprise she didn't suck the life out of me, she stopped after I became fully paralyzed and grinned at my helplessness. "Don't worry your not going to die, the venom is only going to stop you from bleeding out. The paralysis is only a side effect, After all why would I let someone as useful as you go to waste?" "You are currently dreaming but I am keeping you here until I make a few things very clear..." "Your condition is only going to get worse and It wont get better unless you do what I say, Speak with your mind I will hear you"

A grim realization washed over me and I thought "What do I have to do?" "Your becoming one of us.. you will need to feed like us, you will need to feed from Cade-" "NO!" I will never be like you! Id rather die than steal from Cadence like that! Id rather die than become some.. FUCKING PARASITE! Chrysalis glared at me and said "Oh.. then I will have to break you... All of a sudden the pain in my chest returned with more strength then ever it felt like my heart had turned into lead and I was standing in a raging inferno. I ground my teeth together as the pain steadily increased, It reached an unbearable level and continued at this level for several minutes. Unable to form coherent thought I just wished that the pain would end. Over all the pain I heard Chrysalis speak in my head "Had enough yet?" I clenched my teeth together and ignored her "Thought not..." she grinned manically "Your going to regret it!" The already unbearable pain nearly tripled and I felt that burning in the flames of Eternal damnation must be similar to this pain. My will broke instantly and I begged her to end the pain. "I'll..dowhatever...youwant!" "Good Im glad we see eye to eye." I let my head fall in shame and defeat. "Now.. wake up Shining Armor.. and obey me."
