The tune is cold and haunting. It sounds as if sung by a creature in excruciating pain.
The door behind her slams open.
Her closed eyes open slowly,her ice blue gaze chilling, her humming coming to a stop.
She turns noting the guard had nocked things off the shelf's in his hast. She took a deep breath and stared into the guards eyes.
her expression cold as ice"I am,what was so important you needed to barge into my private chamber's and interrupt my work?"
The guard deflates his face going pale as he realizes the mistake he'd made "i-i'm sorry my queen! The princess was looking for you! She said it was an emergency!"
Queen mustara turned,her ice blue eyes glowing with power "very well."
She turned out of the small chamber into her lush bedroom. She stepped towards the door and called a maid from nearby.
"please tell my daughter I will be there momentarily."
The guard shakily bowed his head and quickly moved towards the door.
She shut the door and looked at him menacingly.
"yes my queen! I sincerely apologise!"
As the guard turned away the queen grinned mischievously.
She gave a sweet grin. Her eyes began to flow brighter than ever before, the guard is unable to look away.
He never saw the blue beam come directly towards him.

Bleh this is really really bad
Queen mustara trots out of her room pausing just long enough to wipe a piece of ash off of her coat.
Coming to a stop infront of her daughter's door,she simply walked in.
"sayida? Are you here?"
The queen looked at the ceiling looking very confused."how? I- nevermind."
The queen shook her head smiling gently.
The young filly immediately straightened up her face settling into a grave expression.
The queens eyes widened "what did you see sayida?"
The foal stopped,and thought for a moment.
The queen looked at her youngest daughter "is that all?"
Sayida looked down shuffling her front legs "yes mother"
The queen simply smiled "it is alright sayida. This is so very helpful"
The queen smiled gently nuzzled her daughter before leaving the room.
She shut the door her soft expression falling. she hurried back towards her chamber. Dodging the pile of ash as she entered the room,she Immediately took a turn towards her closet.
Pulling out a needle,some thread,yellow cloth and orange and yellow yarn she began to work.
She worked deep into the night, enchanting the cloth with every stitch.
She then added features such as the eyes and cutie mark. It wasn't until sunrise that she finished,looking proudly at the tall Pegasus standing before her.
She sighed"only two more things"
She trots over to the cauldron dumping it's contents into a vile and setting it aside.
She stirs the mixture until it turns a luminescent blue before getting the other vile and pouring a single drop onto the dolls nose.
The queen the added the other vial looking pleased when it to sank and disappeared.
If anyone else had been in the room they would have seen the queen mouthing words as if having a silent conversation with the mare.
the queen walked of and laid down on her bed exhaustion filling her bones she fell asleep and did not wake till the next day.
The queen of woke the next day to see a very alive Pegasus on the floor, the mare was asleep but she could be seen breathing.
The queen rose from her bed and opened the door,calling a maid over "have a ticket to canterlot brought up."
The queen turned around seeing the tall Pegasus mare pushing herself up into sitting position.
The queen walked over."get up." the Pegasus stood her eyes dull and unfocused.
The queen stood in front of the mare.
"you are a guest in zebafrica,you will be returning home to canterlot this afternoon to spy on princess celestia and report your findings to me."
Star chaser's eyes became more focused,her voice gaining a smooth elegant quality.
She bowed her head "thankyou for housing me these few weeks your magesty it has been lovely".
The queen smiled " of course so have you decided what job in the castle you want?"
Chaser smiled "yes I would love to be the princess's personal assistant".
Chaser trotted towards the door. "goodbye! It was nice to meet you your magesty!"
Star chaser trotted down the halls towards the gates, not noticing the stares from zebra's as she wandered the hall.
Nearing the gate she smiled at the guard.
Stepping into the train she made her way to a empty seat.
the conductor began to shout. "ALL ABOARD! THE TRAIN TO CANTERLOT IS LEAVING NOW! ALL ABOARD!"
Star chaser settled into her seat,looking out of the window. she looked out feeling very... something she wasn't sure what it was...
Star chaser was shaken awake.she looked up at the conductor, he smiled at her "sorry miss but we have arrived in canterlot".
Star chaser sat up and yawned "thank you" she said smiling at the conductor before standing and trotting off of the train.
She trotted down the street,looking at everything. She stopped at a small tent the mare inside was a light blue shade,
Star chaser stepped closer "hello!"
Star chaser gave a small grin "it's alright! I shouldn't have shown myself in without saying anything." The mare smiled "well dear what can I help you with?"
Star flinched "I find myself a little low on funds,so I was hoping you could point me to a place I could fix that?"
The mare laughed "oh goodness yes! The castle could always use some help! And I'm sure somepony around here could use some help!"
Star chaser bowed her head "thankyou so much!"
And with that star backed out of the stall,and began on her way to canterlot castle.

I know its terrible...but this is more then I've ever managed
A young woman walks down the bustling new york street her headphones in,head moving with the music.
No longer paying attention to her surroundings she bumps into someone.
The woman practically growl's at her "well watch where your going next time !"before flouncing away.
"Ugh bitch " she pushes herself off the ground before setting off towards her destination.
She takes a deep breath,and walks in.
She walks the length of the path before coming to a opening. On the opposite side of her is a table with another woman sitting facing her. She glares across the table and signal's another chair brought up.
"Please...sit Celeste."
"Hello mother".
"You called for me mother?" Celeste slowly raised her head to look at the woman in infront of her.
Her mother's bright green eyes stare into Celeste's deep blue one's.dear daughter? "
Celeste takes a deep breath. "Of course I am mother,but I have work in an hour."
Celeste grinds her teeth. "Yes mother.that job"
"Do you remember that job I sent you on last month dear... daughter ?"
Her mother stares at her again. "And do you remember the young boy you spared?"
Her mother closes her eyes. "Well that young boy went to the police."
Her mother stands her hands flat on the table. "Yes I assume you know the punishment from the look on your face."
Celeste's eyes fill with tears. "Mother..."
" I can not change the rules... Even if I wish I could" she opens her mouth again. "I- someone handle her." She says before turning and stalking away.
A man and a woman step forward. "Come on Celeste let's... Get this over with." The man says gently tugging her out of the chair.
Celeste walks with the pair the man beside her and the woman behind.
"Sebastian?" He doesn't look down.
The woman steps forward and pushes Celeste to her knees.celeste looks up just as the woman aims a small hand gun at her head.
Celeste looks to the man. "Sebastian...I love you... And I'm sorry."
His eyes wide he stumbles forward. NO!
She woke up? "Hello? Is anyone there, I can't feel anything!"
Celeste steeled herself. "What's the catch?" She heard the voice laugh. hah it is rare that someone asks that question. They normally jump at the opportunity for a second chance."
"Well I'd rather not sell myself into slavery accidentally." Celeste snarked back.
"hmm indeed. The catch is I need you to spy on the princess of Equestria.the voice said.
"... Equestria?" Celeste said sounding quite intrigued.
indeed my daughter has a feeling things are about to go very upside down and I would like to have all of the important information.
Celeste was quiet for a moment. "Okay I accept."
" perfect~the voice purred. There was a bright flash and she knew no more.
She came to on a train just as the conductor came to wake her up. Remembering her orders, she thanked him and exited the train.
She then talked to a mare about a job before being told the castle always had jobs open. After hearing that she turned and headed to the castle.
Nearing the gates the guards blocked her way. "Halt! Who goes there?"
The guard looked at her. "The only positions open are that of the newly reinstated night guard.
Star chaser gave him a weak grin. "That...sounds perfect!"
Star chaser bowed her head in thanks and made her way inside.
The guard looked at her. "You inlisted for the night guard?"
The guard froze, and then nearly fell on the ground laughing.
"I-i'm sorry! It's just... midnight is gonna destroy you!" The guard started laughing again.
Star chaser sighed. " Are you going to show me where to go or not?"
She lead star chaser down a few twists and turns and they eventually came out into the training yard.
She turned to star chaser and pointed at a building in white and gold. " That's the day guard's barracks." She pointed to an identical building in purple and silver. "That is the night guards barracks."
She lead star over to the purple building and opened the door. "hey middy! I got a new recruit! . She yelled and then quickly dodged to the left star tried to do the same but was quickly bowled over by a thestral mare in armor.
"Eep!" Star panicked and bucked the mare off. She scrambled to her hooves and took an aggressive stance.
