The scene keeps playing over in her head. The sight of her castle destroyed. The changelings that she has raised and cared for. Those pesky ponies and their friendship. They ruined everything! All she wanted to do was feed her family and now her family has abandoned her now she was just hungry.
It has been months since they attacked. Months since she lost everyone. Even longer since she last ate. She was starving now. She wondered the empty woods of the Everfree forest. She survived off the small pond she had found and animals she has discovered. But without love to feed upon her strength has left her and she now was barely strong enough for walking.
She walked slowly toward her small peaceful pond. Her stomach growled loudly as she began to lower herself into the pony. She slowly made her way to the center of the pond to bathe. She slowly began to use her horn and bring some hoof made soap she had made to help her through her days. She groaned in the pain as her horn glowed.
Careful she grabbed the soap with her hooves and began to rub the soap in. It bubbled around her hair and gave the water a dusty view from above. She lowered her body into the water rinsing the bubbles from her hair. She gave a slight smile as at bit of relief from the dirt that had been caught in her hair by the long day.
Apart of her wanted to just stay in the water, not caring if she drowned. It would probably be a reprieve from this constant state of hunger. But no, she rose her head from under the cool water and took in a deep breath. She had to live if she ever wanted to see her children again. She just needed to find something to eat. Something to help her manage.
She slowly began to swim for the shore. She heard a timber wolf at her home. She didn't have much, but she wasn't going to let a mangy mutt raid through it. She shot at the wolf with a blast from her horn. With this she let out a scream and fell. Her eyes now foggy and stomach now hollowed. She attempted to stand back up and get to her small tent for the night. But her feet refused to take the pressure from her weight. She deiced that she would slowly crawl for the shelter.
After about ten minutes of crawling she made it to the small tent against a tree. After placing herself inside she decided she would let in to the exhaustion. She closed her eyes and let the darkness fill around her.
She walked slowly up to her destroyed castle. Inside were the ponies that caused her destruction. They all stared at her as she made her way toward her previous throne room. Inside stood Thorax stood with all her subject. They saw her and smiled with open arms. She accepted her role as queen once more. She looked upon the ponies that had caused her so much pain and ordered her child to capture them. She feed at long last and gave her children food as well. The weakened Twilight body changed as she lost her love.
She woke to a start, the sound of laughter? She jerked her head and gave a soft sigh to notice she was still starving in this tent. But she quickly heard laughter again. She didn't have much but she couldn't fight. She was too weak, she had a feel this was going to hurt. Her horn began to glow as she bit her lip to hold in the scream. She fell to the ground once more, though the ground seemed a lot closer than before. And it was she had transformed into a filly. Not having the energy to change again however she accepted this defeat. Ready for her fate to hit her.
"Did you see that light?" Came a voice, it sounded young itself, like a young colt.
"Yea, Wait Trance don't go it could be trouble." Said a second voice this one however sounded more scared and like a filly.
The sound of hooves approached from behind. Chrysalis closed her eyes ready for these ponies to hopefully end her pain. She heard the world around her grow silent as a pair of hooves began to run toward her. She then fell into the sleep from her exhaustion once more.
She finally awoke. She was still a filly, but she wasn't in her tent anymore. No now she was in what looked to be a hospital. She began to try and stand but was stopped by a needle in her arm. She wanted to scream but decided against it. Instead she heard a colt speaking.
"You are awake?" He asked gently.
Chrysalis was silent terrified at this point.
The colt must have sensed her fear. He walked over to the bed. "It is okay now, me and my friend saw your light for help. We brought you here. You were hungry but for some reasons doctor saw the food isn't helping you? He said looking a tad worried at this. "What’s your name?" He asked trying to change the depressing subject.
At this Chrysalis finally spoke. "N-name?" She said softly, the voice she said didn't sound her own but she didn't know what else to say. She couldn't tell him, not if she wanted to live.
"Do you remember your name?"
To this Chrysalis stayed silent. She figured if she was going to make it through this she would have to be as weak as she felt.
"Oh dear, it's okay. I will help you." To this the colt ran out began to run from the hospital. Chrysalis stayed at in the bed confused and tired. She had felt a nice bed in months and she decided she would go back to her camp later for now though she would rest in the sweet fluffiness of the pillow. She laid down alone once more and fell back asleep.
