I’m lying in a stone bed, that’s a new one. The sun is rising, I still feel alone. A single tear falls from my right eye as I look up to remember Luna's lullaby for me. Each morning she would sit with me and sing ‘Now your little eyes will wake, think of all the fun at stake. Sleeping through the day with me, you miss all of the parties.’ The door flies open, I see the queen and her son.

“Glad to see you are up,” said Chrysalis. She turned to her son who was still in the doorway examining my level of threat to his kingdom and gave him what seemed to be a changeling ‘stare’. He stopped staring at me. After a while of my silence, she started to walk away but yelled back “A guard will come to fetch you in fifteen minutes.”

I watched her go; it’s strange how much she seems like Celestia to me. I nod, even though she isn’t even looking at me. “I must be ready to tell the next part of my story” I tell myself. I talk to myself a lot, mostly because I’m used to being alone and having no one listen to me. When the guards come I will be prepared. I am running over the next part of the story of my life, just to remember every detail correctly. There they are, come to take me back.

“Ready Princess?” came a raspy voice from a rather young looking changeling.

“Indeed,” the word came out and almost instantly I slapped my head with a hoof because I sound like a Canterlot snob.
This action must look really strange, for the two changelings are staring rather oddly. I guess I will be quiet. So I start to follow them.

They led me down a long hallway to the room I sat in yesterday. The guards motion for me to move in. Where I sat before is a little pillow, i guess they really did notice I was laying on the floor. I sit, the pillow is soft but it dosen't keep out the cold.
Charger is staring at me again. Why does he do that? Its so strange to me. Chrysalis is nodding her head.
"Please, continue now!" she says.

I guess she was nodding at me. Here goes nothing.

When I awoke, I was lying where I fell, my mother no longer there. Where she was some time ago, was Shimmering Arms, smiling at me with evil hatred again. She spoke as soon as I stirred.

“I hope you enjoy your little road trip; I planned it just for you,” she said, coming closer.

“What do you want from me?” I yearned to know.

She did answer, “Oh, nothing much. Just your power, money, admiration, and...... Your life.” She walked and started again, “I have the beginning of your brother’s love. It may be fake on my part, but who cares. Your father is dead, your mother hates you, your brother is my puppet, and your aunts just want a mare to pass the crown on to. I am their new ‘little girl’ what I say goes.”

I was standing by then and had fury in my eyes. “Not if I can stop it!” I exclaimed and started to charge toward her. I learned that my brother was right; she was a very powerful unicorn. In a moment, I was pinned by the neck against the wall, being choked as her magic’s grip grew tighter. I couldn't fly or use magic to stop her; I was helpless against a mare that was using charm and lies to turn my family against me. Once I was nearly blacking out, she released the grip, my body thrown to the floor in utter agony.

I couldn’t move from the pain. She walked out of the room, leaving me in my room, alone, hated by the world, and having an evil mare ruin my life. I would just have to foil her plans by going along with them.
The next morning, I was sent off. With one suitcase and a Pegasus guard flying me. One pony was there at my send off: my mother, only to say “The one rule you must follow is to never show anypony that you are an Alicorn.” I was sent in the flying carriage to a place I didn't know. I hoped that Shimmering Arms wouldn’t put anyone else under a spell before my return. That’s all I could do. On my way over, I realized something that made me squirm: Shimmering Arms had a very close resemblance to my father. I was starting to think I was doomed.
