Chapter 5 - ....Last Time

You and Twilight sit at the table as the sun from the window slowly starts to fade in the room. Twilight holds the book in her grasp as she reads most of it out loud. Your head rest a little on hers as you listen to her reading everything that a mute pony should expect.

At each important word you try your best to make a mental note about.

"...Unicorn fillies may have a longer magical period."

Your ears perk up as the word hits your ears, "And that’s your job right?"

She squints at you as she cocks her head, "No, using any kind of magic around a young unicorn before they find their own is very bad. I can't help her find her magic."

You give a light laugh as you shake your head, "Oh, ok never mind." Your eyes widen as you bring your head away from hers as you think, oh crap I hope Violet does not become as magical bound as Twilight.

She continues down the list for a few moments before she picks her head from the book, "So when did Spike say he was coming back?"

You nod your head as your old plan start to flow back into your mind, "Um...it didn't say."

Twilight gives a yawn as she looks out the window, "Its getting kind of late."

"You're tired?"

She gives a light giggle as she nudges you, "I think you're making me lazy."

"Could be worse."

Twilight closes the book and lays her head on you as she closes her eyes, "How?"

"You could not want to wake up until late in the day like me."

She rubs her head into your coat as she talks in a relaxed voice, "Then you can change Violet in the morning."

Your smile from the light hearted moment fades a little as a thought come back into your mind, "Oh...ya, remind me to brush my teeth before I go to sleep."

She nod her head as she stand up from the table, "I'm going to check on Violet."

You nod your head as you give a little yawn. You listen to her hooves hitting the wood as she walks up the stairs. As the sound becomes faint you look back to the book in front of you as you push against it, "Your lucky I didn't burn you before."

You slouch back in the chair as you rub your hooves over your eyes and start to think, When I first came here I never thought of any of this... You stare at the fur that now sits on your body as you smile.... And yet...I’m fine with this.

The hooves behind you start to come back into the echoing room as you still stare at your hooves, "Are you coming up honey?"

You nod to Twilights call instinctively but then give a little chuckle as you turn to face her, "Did you call me honey?"

Her cheeks blush a little as she looks down to the floor, "Um...I"

You smile to her shuddering as you call back to her, "I'll be up in a minute...sweetie." You give another smile to the nicknames.

Twilight nods still with the dark purple blushed cheeks as she turns back upstairs.

Honey? You think over the word as you stand from your seat, we have a kid but skipped cute little nicknames....that’s not right. You nod your head to your thought as you give a light chuckle to yourself, but I also can use magic so...normal has never been us.

As you walk towards the other room your eye catches the still unopened box that sit under the high chair. You stare at the box for a few second as you think, well I better make sure it’s not a special cupcake or something.

You walk back to the chair as you bend yourself down to the box and put it on the high chair table. It’s not heavy so it’s nothing big. The same feeling you get when you see an unopened present comes over you as you stare at the box.

You open the box careful in case its something breakable, but to your surprise all that’s in the box is a letter and something under it. You place your hoof over the letter as you bring it up to you to read, I hope Violet likes this...um...from Fluttershy

You squint at the letter for a moment questioning why she took the time to spell out UM.

You toss the letter aside as you look back into the box. You give a surprised little squall as you notice a bright almost glowing purple necklace. You stare at the designs that cover the silver chair, the swirls look like a cloud that has been blown in the sky and the large purple stone that sit in the middle looks almost like its glowing. You bring your hoof to it and pick it up from the box. You stare at it for a moment as the stone turns a light green color. You smile to the color as you think out loud, "A mood necklace for Violet, wow that will really come in handy."

You place the glowing green necklace on the wood table as you walk over to the staircase, "Hey Twilight...-"

Your call is cut off as you hear a knock on the front door.

But her call still comes from the room, "Ya?"

You shake your head to the door as you call back, "Hold on...Spike is home."

You trot over to the door with your plan forming in your head, you hold a sweet smile as you open the door, "Helloooo Spike."

But to your surprise the figure in the door is the well know cyan mare, "Pff, You thought I was Spike?"
Your smile fades and your mind races with questions as you stare the cyan mare...

An awkwardly large smile crossed her face as she continues to talk in Fluttershy's voice, "Oh, I think I’m using the wrong voice again."

You're unable to move as you stare at her.

Her eyes flicker a very bright bug like blue as she talks, "It doesn't really matter though."

You listen to a low almost bone cracking like sound coming from Rainbow's figure as her wings start to fold up and turn a sickly black color. Her bright bushy rainbow tail starts to shrivel and her smile grows into a dull emotionless smiling frown. But the thing that sends your mind into a kick start is her eyes soft color and oval shape turn into a bug like to bright blue.

Your heart pounds as you realize what you're looking at change in front of you. The few milliseconds that you have spent watching this come to their end as you turn back to the stairs in a panic yelling voice, but in your quick motion you forgot to close the door as you yell, "TWILIGHT TAKE VIOLE...-" Your words come to a halt and the back of your head fills with an intense heat as the changelings back hooves knock against your head.

You hit the ground with a thud, Your mind is now a haze and your eyes are a quickly darkening cloud as you watch the changeling crawl up the side of the wall adjacent to the stairs. You make a final attempt to crawl but you completely black out as the ringing in your ears, the pain in your head and the darkening eyes finally take over.

End of chapter 5

Maybe it...
