//------------------------------// // A change in the night // Story: The Ever Changeling Forest // by Sweetie Belle writes //------------------------------// “Cutie Mark Crusaders Forest explorers!'' What a joke. The white coated filly said talking to herself as she was making her way down the dirt path leading her deeper within the darkness of the Everfree Forest. Sweetie belle has been walking for hours it felt like as she was dragging her hoofs along the ground, as her tail flickered slowly. ''Come on guys where are you... this is not funny. If you guys are mad about the whole story crack that’s ok cause you guys have the right to be scared'' This is stupid, the filly shouted her voice echoed through the forest you could hear in the distance as her voice was beginning to fade away after a few seconds. The filly noticed this sound of her voice that was echoing than faded ''Is that what I really sound like?'' A smile came upon Sweetie belle's face as she began shouting abominable words. The no pony could have this much fun with just hearing an echo repeated over and over again, but this wasn't the case seeing as Sweetie belle stood there for a few minutes just to hear her voice bounce off the nearby trees and listen to it fade away. The enjoy that this filly was having was almost unbearable. Sweetie belle had a tear right under her eye from all the laughing she was doing ''Oh this should not be this fun, but it's so much fun I don't really want to stop'' The filly sighed as she remembered she still needed to locate her fellow Cutie Mark Crusaders who had now must be many miles ahead of her. '' Yah I should get a move on I must find Applebloom and Scootaloo ...'' The filly started to hoof away slowly from the spot she had been standing at for half an hour but as the distance grew from that amazing spot she kept on looking back as she was getting farther away from it. Sweetie belle was standing still on the dirt path next to a few broken trees as she turned her head back again to the spot. ‘’Could one more time really hurt all that badly? and the guys I'm sure aren't that far away'' After thinking it over within her mind she could not hold it back anymore as she ran as fast as she could to that magical spot. ''Ok one more time... but what to say'' The filly wanted to pick of something very funny she could say but nothing was coming to her. The filly stomped her hoof on the ground in anger she seemed to be a block she would not think of anything, nothing was coming to her. Just than a light bulb went off within her mind ''That’s it!'' The filly shouted, as she was jumping around she heard the echo fade from her outburst. ''This will be so cool, that even Rainbow Dash will be jealous'' 20% cooler watch this is going to be 175% cooler. The filly was now trying to calm herself down before shouting her last awful phase. ''It's all about the technique just like Fillybob Hoofmane told us before on TV'' Sweetie belle took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she shouted as loud as she could. '' '' But there was nothing just silent other than the noises that where usually coming from the forest, bugs and forest water dripping from leaves upon the trees to the ground. Sweetie belle was just standing there in the middle of the spot; she was looking around moving her head left and right circling the whole area. ''What was that I know I heard something, I'm not crazy I'm sure it was something’’? Sweetie belle's fur on her coat was standing on its edge as she was still looking around for anything that would explain where that sound came from, but she saw nothing but trees and leaves that where on the ground. ''Maybe I'm going crazy... hearing voices or maybe ....it could be......No'' The filly was shaking her head as she stomped her hoof on the ground again. ''I should get going anyway got to find my Applebloom and Scootaloo anyway'' As the filly started to turn her back and walk away she came to a complete stop as if she was frozen in the place, a drop of sweat beated down her face and down the side of her neck, as her heart began to beat rapidly. Sweetie belle turned around this time she heisted she was now making a few little hoof steps backwards. Just than a voice broke the silence of the of the Everfree Forest ''So where do you think your going, you did not even get to let me hear that phase you was going to say, you said it will make a pony jealous so it must be really good would you like to share it with me?'' The voice felt like it was coming from everywhere at the same time left, right up, and down but it felt like it was all focused right at Sweetie belle . A flick of green embers fell upon the ground around a nearby tree, the leaves that where on the ground where easy turned into ashes as a cloud of smoke started to spin around picking leaves off all the trees as they started to form a figure as more leaves started being added you could see the shape it was taking sometype of pony with wings, Sweetie belle thought. ''What in the world is this....what are you ...?) As the flare of the leaves disappeared, a tall black looking pony was there looking right at Sweetie belle, her eyes where a bright green if not for her scary looking disposition you would say they were beautiful but looking at her wings and unicorn horn that was a different story her unicorn horn was jagged and her wings looked like that of insect, but the thing that really catched Sweetie belle's eyes where her hoofs they were hole of holes. The monster of a pony now started to make her way to the small filly that was lying on the ground in shock as if she saw some type of monster. '' I am Queen of the changelings, but you can call me chrysalis.'' The dark colored pony now was right in front of the filly looking down at her, the filly was shaking in fear of not knowing what the pony was about to do to her. The changeling queen gave a smile as she reached out her hoof at the filly who was on the ground '' Let’s go we got to find your friends before it gets to late this forest can be really dangerous '' The look on Sweetie belle's face was on of confusion not know what to do she to hold of ponies hoof as she started to walk with her. ''So you live here in this forest?'' the pony asked. The queen gave a smile as she turned her head away.''You could say that, but it's not just I '' Sweetie belle voice dropped''you mean there are more of you living in the forest?'' The pony just gave a quick laugh as she keep on walking on the dirt path. ''I will answer all your questions in due time first we need to locate the foo.. I'd mean your friends now let’s keep moving.''
