Binky Hooves

I screamed downwards, as I plummet towards the ground!

I looked down, I see the grass, approaching fast, as I feel the wind blowing through my bluish-green mane!

As I flew down towards the earth, I thought about a lot of things…

I thought about that horrible bitch, Starlight Glimmer, and how she got my own hive to turn against me!

I thought about Thorax, and his betrayal!

I thought about the love I absorbed from him, and how it destroyed my throne, and blasted me out of my hive…

A lot of this doesn’t make sense, but I don’t have time for that right now!

I begin to flap my wings sharply back, in order to slow my descent, and I lose velocity just in time, to hover roughly 15 feet over the grassy dirt, and I then adjust my course to land on the ground…

I raise my body, and look around to get a bearing on my surroundings…

<*****>

Oh, wow! I uh, I can’t believe that just happened…

She stopped breathing…

Her body doesn’t move anymore…

She just laid there…

… She just laid lifeless, and didn’t do anything else…

I also knew that I couldn’t stay, so I set the house on fire and left…

I don’t know what happened after I trotted away…

Oh, I’m a unicorn filly!

Should probably mention that?

Yeah, I don’t really have my cutie mark yet, but I am pink, with a wavy orchid purple mane and tail!

I really should brush that more, now that I think about it…

I gaze around, as I trot through the grass, and feel dirt go into my hooves, I stare forward and I can’t help but notice a small black vertical line in the distance, surrounded by grass, and I while I’m pretty sure it’s marching down the hillside, I also can’t help but wonder what it is?

I quicken my pace, while enlarging my view, because I want to know, now!

I want to learn, and I don’t want to think anymore!

Thinking is bad, and it only hurts me right now…

No more thinking…

<*****>

I try to keep my mind on my trotting right now, but it’s so hard…

How could they betray me? Me, their beloved queen, after all I had done for them?

I only wanted to get love, because I know that’s what changelings feed off of! It doesn’t make sense! We could’ve had all of Equestria!

But now… Now this has happened!

I stare up at the grasslands, before me, as I trot down the hillside, on the grassy knoll, and as I look up, I can’t help but notice a pink dot moving towards me rapidly, through the tall grass!

I widen my eyes at this, and mutter under my breath, “What the?”

<*****>

I see the small black line getting bigger, as I hurriedly gallop through the grass and dirt!

My tongue is out the side of my mouth, and my gaze is enormous, because I really wanna know what the line is!

Hooray for strange black lines, that keep me from thinking about death! I think to myself, as I continue towards it!

<*****>

Now that it’s closer, I can see that it appears to be a pink foal!

A unicorn filly, I realize, when I notice the little horn bouncing on it’s head, while the dot, now bigger than it was, starts coming into view…

Then, this strange pink filly does the unthinkable!

<*****>

I look up the hill, as I’m clopping my hooves up towards the mysterious line, and I now see that it’s some kind of creature!

It’s kinda like a pony, but it has a crooked horn on it’s head, and insect-like wings at it’s sides!

Well, it’s not exactly a pony, but it’ll do!

I run right into it’s forelegs, and hug them!

<*****>

“Mommy!” I hear the foal scream, as it clings onto my forelegs!

My eyes are enormous, as I turn my gaze downwards to stare at this ridiculous foal! “I beg your pardon? I know not who you are, but I am most assuredly NOT your mother!”

She turns her blue eyes up towards me, and I see her eyes watering, as her cheeks puff, and mouth trembles, “W-what? You’re uh, you’re not my mommy?”

I’m not sure what just snapped inside me at that moment, but I couldn’t help but frown and say, “You want a mother?”

<*****>

I nod up at the strange bug creature…

I see what I guess is her muzzle frowning harder, “But what of your real mother? Where is she, and why is she not here?”

I blink, “Um, she can’t… She can’t be here, right now… “

“And why not?” Demanded the creature as it moved it’s head an inch towards me, and furrows it’s brow!

<*****>

The filly blinks her eyes, as more tears fall down around her muzzle, and says, “She’s uh, she’s not here anymore… She’s gone… “

While initially, I was frustrated, I can’t help but feel something inside me now… I release my face, and normalize my mouth, as a sudden realization strikes me, “Your mother is dead, isn’t she?”

She closes her eyes, and throws her face in between my forelegs, that she now hugs and holds tightly!

<*****>

That was the ONE thing I didn’t want to think about!

She doesn’t move anymore…

She’s gone now…

I lit it all on fire, and burned it all down…

Nothing is left…

I hang onto the weird bug legs, very tightly, because this is all I have right now…

I clench tightly, and close my eyes, because I know very soon, that too will be taken from me…

<*****>

I suddenly realize that this filly must be lost, and that her mother is dead…

Knowing these things, I then chose to do something I never imagined I would ever do…

I adopted a pony filly…

I stare at her, “What is your name, foal?”

She lifts her gaze back up to me, and her mouth quivers, while she sputters out… “M-my name is Binky Hooves! Uh, ” before her eyes widen, “I guess I should call you mommy?” before a small deranged grin begins to form on her muzzle…

I smile, “Welcome foal! My name is Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, but you may address me as mother!”
