The Changeling and the Protege (cancelled)

Canterlot cell, Fangs 2nd POV:

Fang gently shook Twilight Sparkles hoof smiling softly as she was kid enough to levitate a wet sponge over and began to wash off the cum that was left on his chitin. It was when twilight spoke up that he broke out of his trance.

“What do you mean last changeling..? What happened to Chrysalis Fang..?”

Twilights question lingered in his mind for a while, he thought about lying to her about he meant but with how she was the only one to be kind to him even after nearly killing her he spoke up with a bit of sadness.

“Dead… the purple blast that sent us away did more than send us away… we are emtivores that feed off emotion like; love, happiness, rage, lust and so on… I personally feel that the invasion was a last resort option…”

Twilights looked at Fang curiously as she continued to wash him as he talked, feeling a small bit guilty at hearing that changelings were put into a position to be left with no choice but instead of asking more details she let fang explain more.

“Where we live is very hostile to be in.. a good chunk of changelings and one or two nursery’s are lost every week… we had about only a thousand and a half when we invaded…”

Twilight stopped washing Fangs chitin, gasping. Learning that it was more than conquest but mere desperation out of survival. But what shocked more was what Fang said next.

“Chrysalis used to be a very kind soul when she was a grub like us… but when our original queen Firefly died defending the royal hatchery with her daughter Flea the next one in line came Chrysalis. The crown held the memories of all old rulers and we had no clue to how it worked at the time… having the wisdom and the last moment of death going into the grub broke her… she became mean and spiteful, rejecting her subjects pleas for change..”

Twilight finally understood why Chrysalis didn’t act like cadence or even deal with her and her friends much in more tactful way, Chrysalis died far before showing up in Canterlot. She was a shell of anger that was put into power when that knowledge was ignored for the pain of her rulers before. Twilight began to clean Fangs chitin again as she asked another question.

“Why were they raping you…?”

Fang looked down, feeling a tad bit guilty before speaking.

“Those three were actually um… my victims before… and before you ask yes… I regret it entirely but when you’re starving it’s between dying and sacrificing your morals… you’d damn your morals to Tartarus. So it was poetic justice… I was sedated thankfully but a mare guard that wanted them to stop but with them being hire rank and having beef with me had her feeling useless. I don’t know her name but her kindness will be something I’ll cherish to my end.. including yours Ms Sparkle..”

Fang said with a small smile on their muzzle, feeling much more better getting a bit of his trauma off his chest.

“You can call me Twilight but that still leaves my most important question… why did you spare me…?”

Twilight asked as Fang looked away from her, feeling uneasy before responding.

“Do you wish for me to really answer that… you might not like your answer..”

Twilight nodded, looking at him curiously as Fang readied his reply.

“Like I said when I had you pinned to that wall… what point would there be… had it been that that the others were alive you and I would be dead on this night…”

Twilight backed from Fang, feeling scared for her life.

“I understand your fear of me.. I know I won’t be able to apologize enough for-..”

Fangs words died in his muzzle as Twilight had began to hug him. It confused Fang a lot to why she was hugging him, he had admitted that if where he had more of his kind that she’d be dead. It was only when twilight spoke into his ear gently that he got his answer.

“Thank you for being honest with me Fang…”

Canterlot Cells, Twilights 2nd POV:

Twilight felt the cold and damp chitin against her warm fur. Her heart beating quickly as her face became flushed with embarrassment. It was when Fang hugged her back that she felt something that never happened before to her other than having a crush on a couple of stallions before but this was something entirely new to her. She had feelings for Fang, romantic feelings for the poor soul that had endured so much trauma for so long.

Twilight broke the hug shortly after seeing Fangs cheek blushing bright green as well and it made her heart jump, wondering if Fang liked her too. Before they could say anything an attention grabbing cough caused them to look outside the cell. Seeing the one pony that could make everything worse, Prince BlueBlood.

Canterlot cells, Two minutes after the trio of guards left. BlueBlood 2nd POV:

Walking through the hallway of the Canterlot castle at night brought a calm sensation to BlueBlood, although it did not make this night comfortable at all. After hearing about how a changeling assassin tried to kill his aunt’s pupil, Twilight Sparkle, the local hero of Canterlot. BlueBlood grit his teeth in anger, coming to the conclusion that all changelings are monsters and should be eradicated. After the invasion was repelled, BlueBlood had a drink with Shinning Armor and felt glad that spiking his drink was the perfect solution to make the Captain see reason. Shortly after BlueBlood heard a couple of guards chuckling to themselves as they were about to enter their bunk room.

“That was a great idea RockHoof! That insect got what he deserved!”

“That bucking bug thought wrong that he could fuck with us! We are the superior to their little ant hill of a kingdom,Stonewall.”

“The bug did deserve some punishment but… did he really deserve what we did to him..?”

The guards stopped before turning to face eachother, RockHoof speaking up first.

“That changeling did deserve it… he had us trapped on the bed before fucking us..!”

Stonewall spoke up next to further prove their point.

“That bug ate the lust as our bodies betrayed us! Why are you defending it FiddleLock!?”

FiddleLock look away from his comrades before responding to their questions.

“We… well when he started doing it to me.. he seemed to be… crying…”

The other two looked at eachothers confused, their rage dying down as they both asked.

“Crying? Why was that bastard crying..?”

FiddleLock looked back at the two, looking ashamed.

“Do you both remember how I was enlisted…?”

Both guards nodded and waited to explain.

“I was caught stealing bread but.. that’s not entirely true.. I had reached a breaking point to where I said fuck my morals… I was starving for a few months with nothing but crumbs so I caved in and stole that bread…”

RockHoof and StoneWall could see his point in how he needed to survive when Stonewall spoke up.

“Then why..-“

FiddleLock cut him off quickly, bringing them back on the subject.

“Changelings feed on emotions but… are we sure that he was doing it on commands or… purely survival instinct…?”

The two guards eyes widened as they didn’t think about it that way, never really understanding about being so hungry that it’ll make them abandon their morals. StoneWall looked away as he spoke up.

“S… so it was survival..? He gave up his morals to…-“

RockHoof spoke up to finish what the other was saying.

“Eat something even if it costed their dignity…”

FiddleLock nodded as the trio felt immensely guilty for seeking retribution without asking the changeling why he had done that.

BlueBlood heard enough before heading towards the big door leading into the cells, his resolve stronger than ever. BlueBlood will execute the threat before they convince others to spare its life, opening the door quietly before entering the room. Closing the door before silently sneaking up to the cell, hoping to catch it asleep or still in a daze after what that trio did to it. BlueBloods ears twitched as it heard a mare talking, it sounded like.. no it couldn’t be.. BlueBloods eyes widen as he heard Twilight talking it and the thing was talking to her..! Sneaking up on the pair, BlueBlood stepped infront of the cell and seeing the two hugging each other with blushes on their faces. After they released eachother from their BlueBlood coughed loudly broke the two out of their daze and to look at him. BlueBlood grinned at the two, seeing Twilight getting a use out of the bug.

“I didn’t know you had a thing for assassins Twislut..~”

The trio stared eachother down as anything else became a blur. It wasn’t until Fang was bound in chains in the middle of a throne room while Twilight was getting scolded by her friends and brother. Fang couldn’t help but feel massively responsible for her to get into this amount of trouble but he couldn’t hold his gaze on her for long as a intimidating but regal voice broke the tension in the room.

“Twilight isn’t at fault for being convinced to lower her guard and trusting the changeling. But the real fault is of this Changeling.. they attempted to kill my student and failed…”

Everypony grew silent as Princess Celestia gave spoke her thoughts as she entered the throne room, followed close behind by BlueBlood. Fang gulped nervously as Celestia sat on her throne, followed by Princess Luna and Mi Admor Cadenza.

Only one thing was in Fangs mind when he saw all three infront of him with judging looks and threatening auras.

Fangs was going to die a painful death…
