Twilight
Walking down the hall from the infirmary, Twilight starts to think. why did she act like that when i told her how i was feeling?
~flashback~
~”Luna, i think something may be wrong with me.”
Luna raises a brow, “and why would that be?”
“Becuase I miss her.”
“And why would it be wrong to miss thy old foal sitter and now sister?”
“th-thats not who I mean” Twilight stammers.
“Oh?”
“I miss Queen Chrysalis” she mutters.
“Luna gives a nervous chuckle. "WE are sure tis nothing..."
"NOTHING?! Luna, I'm having strange feelings that don't resemble hate in the slightest towards a creature that just attacked me, my family, and all of Canterlot...and you think it's NOTHING?!"
"No Twilight... WE don't think tis nothing that you were attacked or that your family was hurt. But WE do think that you are overreacting about how you feel. When my sister and I defeated Discord, we didn't hate him or anything. In fact we felt sorry for him. We felt sorry that he had no friends or anyone to teach him right from wrong. We felt sorry that we had to lock him away in stone for the good and safety of our people. " Anger starting to show in her voice at being berated like so by Twilight.
"But..." Twilight fell silent as what Luna said made since.~
~end flashback~
What was I thinking? Of course its normal to feel sorry for an enemy when you hurt them so much A tear slides down her while she grabs her chest as her heart gives a beat of pain. her nails digging into the soft cotton fabric of the dress Rarity brought for her to wear out of the hospital wing. But i dont feel sorry for them...i feel as if i have lost a loved one. As Twilight sat there deep in thought, she failed to notice a certain white Guard-Captain walk up to her.
"Twi...you ok?"
Twilight jumps at the sound of Shining Armor's voice, startled out of her deep thought. "Yes! Yes, of course. Why do you ask?"
Shining gives her a quick look over and then gives a nervous cough, "nothing- the wedding..." Seeing the questioning look, he explains "it was hard on a lot of people and i wanted to make sure my LSBFF is ok after all of it."
Nodding, twilight gives an obviously fake yawn "no, im just a little tired-well I’mgoingtobednow! Night!" and with that teleported, leaving a very confused and worried Shining Armor standing alone in the hallway.

Appearing right above her bed, Twilight lands with a light grunt. Looking around to make sure she was alone, twilight gets up and heads to the bathroom. As she look in the mirror... Twilight notices her cheeks are wet with tears and her eyes are puffy, but she can’t remember crying. Rushing through brushing her teeth, she decides to wait til the next morning to shower and heads straight back to her bed. Laying back with a depressed sigh, she uses her magic to pull the blanket over her body as she drifts off to an uneasy slumber.

Chrysalis
Grunting, Chrysalis crawls closer to the house she found out here off the side of the trail. She had spent the greater part of the day watching it to find if anyone was living there, but so far nobody had shown up or left the little building. Reaching the door she extends an arm out and tries the knob to find it locked. Stars form in Chrysalis's vision as she rams the door with her shoulder, some of the cracks in her chiten spreading more. Closing the door as she stumbled inside, chrysalis thanked the foremothers for the blessing she found in front of her. There were several cases of medical supplies that look to be somewhat old but still usable. After crawling over to the table, she started digging through the supplies til she found the brown bottle she was looking for. Her eyes watered as she poured the alcohol over her wounds, the pain almost making her black out.
After cleaning all the wounds and putting some gauze over the larger sections of missing chitin, chrysalis crawls to a corner and lays down to get some much needed rest while she temporarily couldn't feel her body.

That night, the two mares dreamt of one another.
~Dream~
~Standing in a field of blood-red roses, the two mares stare at one another.
“Why did you attack us?! Why couldn't you have tried peace with us!? we never did wrong to you, did we?” the purple one yelled.
The black and green one shook her head “it wasn't like that! I meant to impress the one i love, not hurt anyone” she moves to run forward only to stop as she feels pain on her bare leg. looking down she sees that every place the petals have run across her leg was now sporting a deep gash, even through the chitten.
The purple one takes no notice of her pain. “who were trying to impress?! everyone who saw it was scared or hurt! Who could you hope to impress with that much-”
“you”
The simple word catches the purple mares breath in her throat. she just stares as the words sink in she loves me?! her mind and heart races as with that word she finally understands what she has been feeling since the blast from the other mare left a glowing heart on her chest. Then her mind jumps to a different conclusion also “you put a love spell on me!!” she shrieked.
The black mare shakes her head "No, what i did was make it so you could understand how I feel. What you feel right now is my love for you, after the amount that you hate me was subtracted from it, so in other words, you feel a fraction of the love I feel for you...and it’s going to keep growing the less you hate me until you feel the same I feel for you. If or when I see you again, I shall remove the spell. At that point you will only feel your own true feelings and none of mine.”
The purple mare just stands there in silence processing what she just heard. After a few moments, the purple mare shimmers and disappears. The black mare just smiles and and spreads her poison-green insect wings to fly out of the rose field and land next to a lake nearby where she spreads out with her legs in the water and her head on the sand with her eyes closed to relax.~
