The Daughter Of Chaos
Chapter 4: Abilities And Unwanted Responsibilities
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI had no idea what happened. Even now, I’m still fuzzy on what happened. I know I somehow created the chocolate cloud, caused it to pour on Aunt Starlight and I passed out in the process but I still didn’t know anything. How? How could some hybrid know what happened, yet not know everything at the same time? How was that possible? These questions were like a mark on my brain. No matter how long it was, they wouldn’t go away, no matter how much I wanted them gone, they didn’t go.
I don’t know how long I was passed out but after some time, I awoke in some sort of hospital room. I was in a bed with the sheets tucked in and there were some machines next to me, making sure I was alright I’m guessing. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop if I had a pin to drop that is. Before I could look around the room, the door to my room opened and a nurse came inside. This nurse had a yellow coat with a yellow mane and a rose in her mane and she was wearing a typical nurses outfit with a nurse hat as well.
“Ms Roise, glad to see you awake.” The nurse said in a relieved voice.
“What…what happened?” I asked, still not knowing what fully happened at school.
“From what seemed to be your friends, they said that you were getting light-headed, a pink cloud appeared, and then you passed out from said cloud. The head mare then called us and we brought you here a few hours ago.” The nurse explained as I felt exhausted from hearing the whole story. “Oh, before I forget, you have a few visitors who identify themselves as your parents, shall I let them in?” The nurse asked as I hesitated for a moment.
“I…I guess so.” I said in a weaker voice as the nurse left the room. A few minutes later, Mom and Dad then came into the room with the nurse.
“Here she is. I’ll leave you three alone.” The nurse said as she left the room.
“Rosie!” Mom exclaimed as she along with Dad rushed over to me and they both hugged me as I could see tears foaming from their eyes. “Are you ok? We heard about what happened.” Mom asked me in a worried voice.
“Well I’m in a hospital bed, I think I’m a little far from ok,” I said with a little chuckle in my voice.
“Well, at least you unlocked your powers in MUCH better circumstances than I would have thought,” Dad said as I froze.
“Wait, what?” I asked as Mom looked at Dad.
“Discord, don’t you think we should wait to tell her that?” Mom asked as I became more and more confused by the second.
“What are you talking about?” I asked. The room became silent again as Mom and Dad looked at each other, gave a nod, and then looked at me.
“Rosie, I…I don’t know how to explain this…but…um…you know… you both a…a pony and a draquaquost?” Mom asked me in her quiet voice.
“Since as long as I can remember yes,” I responded, not knowing where this was going.
“And that there’s not much known about you, or your species yet,” Dad asked as I nodded my head with a little hesitation.
“Well, when the doctors were drawing your blood, they noticed that there were…………..traces…………..of your father’s…………chaos magic in………..your…………….blood.” Mom said.
“They…noticed that your magic levels were at an all-time high when you created those clouds…so they came to the concussion that they were activated somehow. So in other words, you have my powers, my abilities if you will,” Dad said as the room, along with my face, froze.
I didn’t know what to say. I had no idea what to say. I couldn’t think of anything to say. “I have powers?” How does any creature respond to that? What was I supposed to say in this situation? My parents discovered something new and terrifying about my species and I had no idea what to do.
“So I can make chocolate rain clouds?” I asked, just trying to say something, even if I knew the answer to the question.
“Hey, I only did that once,” Dad said.
“Back when you tried to take over Equestria you know.” Mom said.
“Yes, yes, quite amazing if I do say so myself,” Dad said as Mom looked at me.
“What we mean is that from our understanding, you can do great things with your abilities, things that I could barely think of.” Mom said as I started to process everything fully at that moment.
“But…why? Why didn’t you tell me about this?” I asked as Mom and Dad looked down.
“We…we didn’t know. Usually, we dranquaquosts unlock powers when we hit our teen years or when we are newborns but we weren’t sure when or if that would happen for you, given that you half dranquaquost, so we waited until this day would come…and…well…today is that day.” Dad explained.
“I know it’s a lot to take in sweetie, it’s just as hard for you as it is for us but trust us, we’ll get through it together.” Mom said as she and Dad gave me another hug.
“I…I guess I understand.” I said, not understanding at all when the nurse from before along with another doctor came back into the room. This doctor had a blue coat with a brown mane and an orange tail and he was wearing a traditional doctor's outfit.
"Pardon me Mr and Ms.s Shy, I’m afraid I have to ask you to leave the room for a few moments for a few more blood tests.” The doctor said as Mom and Dad left the room, leaving me to process everything and I had quite a lot to process.
The rest of the day wasn’t super eventful but very eventful at the same time. I got discharged from the hospital after a few more blood tests and I was able to go home with Mom and Dad as they stayed at the hospital until I was released. As we were walking from the hospital, I wasn’t in much of a state to talk right now. I was still trying to wrap my head around my newfound powers…and all the newfound attention I would be sadly receiving.
I also wasn’t that much of a talker in general, unless I needed to speak. I’m assuming that Mom and Dad caught on as either one of them didn’t say a word as well throughout the walk back home. Once we did arrive back home at the cottage, I went straight for my room, I closed the door and proceeded to lie down on my bed.
“Why did this happen to me? I never wanted powers! I never wanted to be this…hybrid! Why couldn't I have been just a regular earth pony? Why couldn’t I have just been a normal, happy pony instead of a shy, loser hybrid??” I exclaimed over and over out loud and in my head as my eyes started to turn pink and a few small, clear, and sorrowful tears began to fall from my eyes and landed on my sheets and my pillows one at a time.
I wanted to cry ever since Mom and Dad told me the painful truth but I just couldn’t…not in front of them…now, I have all the time in the world to cry...and you saw that’s exactly what I did. After a while, my tears didn’t pour anymore. My eyes were still as pink as my mane highlights and tail and I was still as sad as I could be but I had already cried out what I could, and now all I could do was lay there in my bed….wishing I was somepony else.
