The Formative Years

Changeling in the Window

I open another Mountain Dew, and slam the whole thing.

'Lot of caffiene there, Vinyl' The Voice says.

'Wondering when you where going to come back. Been silent for a while' I say.

'Aw, you miss me? Check the news'

'What? Why?'

'DON'T QUESTION MEEEE!' It says.

'Alright...' I pause my game, and pull up the news station.

"Breaking news!" The newscaster says. "There has been a prison break the local Changeling Holding Facility. It is suspected the Chrysalis played a role in this" I turn off the TV.

'Say hi to mommy' The Voice says.

I run into the bedroom, and wake up Octavia."Why in the blazes are you waking me up at this hour?"

"Changeling brake out. I think my mother might seek shelter here"

She says nothing, but the look on her face says it all.

There's a sudden knocking at the window. A green magic field encases the lock, and opens it. "Hello, daughter" says the Changeling in my window.

Author's Note:

Short, I know, but this is a set up. Next chapter, I'm going to start Octavia's and Vinyl's relationship. As a shocker on Octavia's personality. Chrysalis may be introduced as a character, I shall explain the origin of The Voice, and who he (note I said he) is. Since changelings appear insect like, it makes sense for a kind of hive mind. The chapter after that, I'll get back to classes, start Vinyl's job, and, I think we should see what Octy's parents think of her new... I won't say what kind of relationship they share yet.

This weekend was pretty traumatic for me. A friend of mine went suicidal, sent me a message, and dropped offline. I went through two days thinking he did it. Sunday morning, he arose from the dead. Since them, I've been talking to him, trying to get him to be better.

3247414Nah, I need something to throw myself into. And I'd really prefer this, before I change my mind and decide a train is more effective.

[ObligedShelf7]

I'm excited for the shipping to start, and I hope your friend gets to feeling better.

3252163 You have no Idea how long I have been pestering him to get started on the shipping part.

[Lonepone]

Well, the shipping has started. It won't e super apparent in the chapter I'll upload in a few minutes, but right after that I'll switch into good old Octy's perspective. Oh, and whoever said they'll do the reading, go for it. He hasn't responded, so I'm giving you the green. Sorry I forgot your name.
