Trapped

The sun began to rise over all Equestria, causing the wake of other wild animals. Dark trees in the Everfree forest began to look friendlier, like flowers appearing on the bushes.

Sandbar yawned slowly, waking up in his blue sleeping bag.

His friends also began to wake up.

The female orange dragon rubbed her eyes, and also yawned.

Spike woke up last.

"How was your night?" Spike smiled, and asked The Young Six.
"Yona thinks, sleeping is good for look" the female brown yak, was smiling, covered by a blanket.
"I know right!?" Silverstream said, looking at herself through the mirror. "What do you think about it, Gallus?"

Silverstream looked at the untouched blue griffon's sleeping bag, next to her. "Gallus?"

"Gallus? Are you still angry at us?" Sandbar touched the sleeping bag lightly, to see that his friend was gone.
"Umm? Where is that brave griffon?" Smolder looked around. "He should come back, long time ago"

The purple dragon slowly stood up.

"Did he get lost or what?" Spike raised his eyebrow.

"DON'T TOUCH THEM!" Twilight shouted angirly, and ran to blue griffon.

Gallus quickly looked back.

Having no time to escape, he felt as he was pressed to the stone ceiling. Feeling a cold place on his back.

The purple changeling's embrace was too strong for him to move.

"Did you really think that you could hurt my larvae?" she laughed nervously, pressing the griffon harder to the ceiling.
"O-of c-course no-" Gallus shook nervously, losing feeling in the neck.
"SILENCE!" There was anger in Twilight's eyes. "I know all your dragon tricks, and I'm guessing that you want to manipulate my emotions"
"H-Headmare Twilight … We can still sort it out somehow" the blue griffon smiled nervously.
"You're right" The green goo started to flow from the purple changeling's muzzle. "But I already know, how to sort it out"

Gallus' nervous smile dissapeared, as he gulped.

Thorax's and Twilight's bedroom door slowly opened. When the changeling king turned, he saw his older brother in front of them.

"How are you feeling" the prince asked first. "Have you found any tips related to Twilight?"

Thorax came to his older brother closer, with tears in his eyes, unexpectedly bursting into tears, on his neck.

Pharynx's heart broke when he saw his little brother in that state.

"Shhh … Shhh … Calm down bro …" Pharynx tried to cheer him up. "Our soldiers are clever enough to find your Twilight"

Thorax cried, gritting his teeth nervously.

"How could I not know about it?"

"You not know about what?" Pharynx asked, not knowing what his brother meant.

The King of the changelings slowly lifted the pregnancy test with his magic, and showed it to the prince.

" ... that Twilight carries small larvae … " Thorax cried louder, after saying those words.

Pharynx's face was shocked.

He did not expect Twilight, to have a new larvae with Thorax.

"Oh my..." Pharynx stepped back. "I should tell the guards about it"

Thorax fell on his stomach, and tried to stop crying.

"I should spend more time with her ... It's all my fault" Thorax said, barely holding back his tears. "If only I'd act like a stallion ... Twily would not run away from me"

Pharynx moved closer to his brother, and nuzzled his head.

"Calm down. It's not your fault Thorax" he whispered, and hugged his brother tightly.

Thorax smiled, under the influence of his brother's hug.

The King of the changelings asked after a moment.

"Should Shining Armor know that Twilight is carrying my larvae?"
"You know what?" he chuckled "Let's not tell Shining about it until Twilight will be found" After those words, he winked.

"Gallus!? Do you play with us?" Sandbar shouted in annoying tone "Are you kidding us?"

Silverstream looked into the bushes.

"Are you hiding from us?" the pink hippogriff asked, with a worried look.
"I don't think he's small enough, to hide there" Smolder commented.

Yona looked for him, in the trees.

"Gallus? If you hide? Put out your right claw" Spike helped The Young Six in finding him. "You do not have to hide from us"

No one answered the purple dragon's voice.

"Wow" Smolder clapped sarcastically. "Gallus is missing"

"Why are you doing this Headmare Twilight?" Gallus asked, watching the purple changeling spit at him with a weird substance.

"My babies need love to live" Twilight after a while, began to spread the goo substance on his body.

"But changelings don't steal love anymore" the blue griffon shaked, when he felt that cold green substance on his belly.

"Be quiet dragon ... You don't know anything" Twilight tried, to ignore him.

"You are out of your mind" Gallus began to be nervous.

"Thank you" the purple changeling smiled, showing her teeth.

"T-That w-wasn't a c-complement"

Gallus once saw such that strange behavior when he was in the hospital, while he was younger.

This disease appeared in one griffoness, after hatching her baby. At first Griffoness seemed that the doctors tried to hurt her nestling, then she tried to attack them, and finally she bit one of them.

It was called "Postpartum psychosis".

"It looks beautiful" the purple changeling flew to the floor, and began to look at the blue griffon.

Gallus was grounded with a ceiling, all covered with green ointment. To top it all, the goo began to slowly harden, causing a terrible pain in his lungs.

The blue griffon, feeling the mucus slowly turning into an overwhelming stone. He started to scream.

Twilight just stared at it, with a mental smile.

"This mucus will work like heavy armor on you, while you will be too sore to move"

Gallus only breathed heavily, feeling a strong and painful pressure on his chest.
