Chapter 1: Hunting for the Taste of True Love

She just wanted to prove myself to her. That was all, she wanted her big sister to be proud of her. She didn't want to be treated like a little hatchling anymore. She needed a break from the Hive and her sister. But she never thought that this would happen to her. She never thought that she, Princess Celosia, younger sister of Queen Chrysalis, would be taken down by the enemy. But none knew the truth of her secret, not even her best friends. Her name is Princess Celosia Amaryllis VI, but you will know her better as Twilight Sparkle. I should start at the being when Celosia decided to leave her home, the Hive. She had left the Hive when she was twelve-years-old, the day that Princess Celestia had sealed her own little sister Princess Luna into the moon. "Chryssi please let me do this. I want to prove myself that I am able to take care of myself. Please sister let me prove myself to you. You let the drones go out that are only two months old! It's not fair, I am twelve and you treat me like I am a day old hatchling! I know how to shape shift and feed on love. I am more then ready for this!" Celosia said with her voice having the same echo as her big sister.

The Queen of the Changelings looked at her little sister thinking. She knew she could not keep her sister in the Hive forever, but she was a princess and she had been raising her since she was two days old. Their mother, the late Queen Forsythia Chrysalis III had passed on after a painfully long labor with Celosia. Her mother lived long enough to bless Chrysalis as the new Queen of the Changelings and to name Celosia. Chrysalis was just only one-hundred-twenty-years-old when she lost her mother. But she knew that she had to be strong not just for subjects, but for Celosia who will never know their mother. Chrysalis signed as she waved her hoof at her general named Lochlyn to leave the throne room. He nodded his head at the Queen and bowed to both of the royal changelings as he departed closing the doors behind him. Chrysalis opened her wings from her shell and flew down to her sister. "Sister you are the youngest daughter of our mother, Queen Forsythia. That makes you my heir until I have an heir of my own. Mother had told me to protect you from any harm. And that is what I have been doing. Mother had wanted you to stay in the Hive at all costs. The Changelings have many enemies sister. Our greatest enemies are those horrible royal sisters, Celestia and Luna. They will kill you without even thinking of your life. I cannot lose you Cellie, you mean the world to mean. Please Cellie try to understand." Chrysalis said to her sister putting her head down to her sister's level and giving her a nuzzle on her right side. Celosia took a little love from her sister while giving her nuzzle in return. But she wanted more then just her sister's love to feed her. She was still hungry for more then her sister's, sisterly love. She wanted to know what it felt like when your prey was in love with you. She wanted to taste what true love was like. And she knew she was never going feel that feeling from her big sister.

"Sister I do understand, but I want to feel what it feels like to drain true love from my victims. I need more then what you have been feeding me. My belly is never full from what you have been given me as of late. I promise I will come back. Just give me one day, Chryssi. Please I just want to feed on something more, please." Celosia said with longing in her green eyes to her sister. Chrysalis knew that feeling all to well. When she was around Cellie's age she was craving more then their mother's love. Her body was maturing and there was nothing the queen could do. If she didn't let her sister go on her first hunt then her baby sister could die from lack of food. She will never let that happen to her. But she would have to agree to let one of their guards to go with her. And she would only give two days to complete her hunt. Also the biggest rule stay out of Equestria. That was all the queen needed to worry about was her sister dyeing from those goodie two shoes, royal sisters. Chrysalis smiled at her sister and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Sister, I cannot stop you from going on this hunt, but you will follow what rules I have for you." Chrysalis said to Celosia who was crying for joy that she was going to let her go out into the Badlands. Chrysalis laugh at how her little sister was acting. Jumping around Chrysalis saying that she was the best big sister ever. "Cellie clam down and listen to me." Chrysalis said laughing. Celosia stopped jumping around Chrysalis and sat down in front of her sister. "Good girl now you take one of the guards with you. And-" Celosia jumped up to get her sister's action to look at her. Chrysalis rolled her eyes at her baby sister. She knew that she was going to complain of her rules. But if she didn't follow them then she was not going anywhere at all.

"That is not fair sister, they will not let hunt. You told me that on your first hunt you went out all by yourself. Let me do this please." Celosia said. Chrysalis put her hoof over her sister's muzzle to get her to stopped talking. She loved her sister but there were sometimes that she drove the queen nuts.

"You will do as I say and that is it. I believe Athenai will be perfect for this mission. It gives him a chance to prove to Lochlyn that he is ready for more then basic training. The other rule is that I will only give you two days out of the Hive. If you are not back in two days then I will personally come and find you. And you don't want that sister. If that does happen then when you go out I will be going with you. Do I make myself clear?" Chrysalis asked Celosia. Celosia pulled her ears back and told her sister that she understood what she was saying.

"Good. Now stay here as I talk to the Lochlyn. I will be back in a minute." Chrysalis said to Celosia. Chrysalis opened the throne doors and talked to Lochlyn. Cellie could not hear what they were saying but knew it was about Athenai. He was not a bad guard, he just could not keep up with the other drones. When Chrysalis birthed him, he was not able to feed from the nurse's. He had almost died from the lack of love he was not getting when he was three days old. Chrysalis was furious that the nurse's never told her he was not feeding. She had tried something that their mother told her not to do unless it was extreme emergency. She had to nurse him herself. Breast feeding a drone is every hard for the nurse's, but it was harder for the queen. The queen needed to know when it was time wean off the young drone. It was hard for Chrysalis to do just that. She had grown attached to Athenai and he also did to Chrysalis. It took the general Lochlyn forever to get the young drone to stop calling the queen, mother. Athenai still look to Chrysalis as his mother, but knew better to keep his muzzle shut.

Just then the general came in and bowed to Celosia. She looked to him and smiled at him. "The queen has informed me that you are to go on your first hunt, Princess. I will not go against the queen, but I wish that she had picked me to go with you." Lochlyn said.

"Why general are you afraid that Athenai will not be able to protect me?" Celosia asked. He gave her a nod of his head. She gave him a glare. He was just like Chrysalis never giving her the freedom to prove herself. She wanted Athenai to go with her. Not because the general would not let her hunt oh no. She wanted Athenai to prove himself, they both needed to prove to the queen and the general that they could do this. "Well my sister, Queen Chrysalis of the Hive and the Changelings has spoken. She wants Athenai to come with me, and you know and I know that nothing is going to change her mind. Now lets go and find Chryssi." Celosia said to the general walking out of the throne room. He followed Celosia knowing there was nothing he could do to talk the queen out of this. He just hope that everything went right.

In an hour Chrysalis was giving her sister a long hug and whispering in her ear. "Now remember what I told you about hunting Cellie. Rule number one, make sure you are disguise well enough that you don't show your true self. Rule number two, make sure that your voice changes to the creature that you are transformed into. Rule number three, don't transform into anything that is too big. Rule number four, do not get caught. But the most important rule is do not feed off hated, despair, and any another negative emotions. It will kill you." Chrysalis said giving her sister another hug. Cellie gave her one back and walked up to Athenai who was getting talking to from the General.

"Now you remember all your training Athenai. If anything happens to the Princess your flank is going to be my do you understand me?" Lochlyn asked to Athenai. He took a step back and gulped down some spilt in his mouth. The general had always scared him since he could remember. Chrysalis went up behind Athenai and pulled him into a hug. The drone nuzzle into the right foreleg of the queen feeding a little off her love.

"Now Athenai please take care of my sister. She means a lot to me. Now go before I change my mind. I hope you have a good hunt Cellie. Do you remember what I say to you?" Chrysalis asked her sister. Cellie looking at her big sister.

"Yes sister I remember." Cellie said. Chrysalis nodded her head and waved her hoof to tell them both that they could go. Athenai bowed to the queen. Chrysalis lowered her head and gave Athenai a quick kiss on his left cheek. He smiled at her and began to walk behind Cellie out of the throne room. The queen didn't know then but that would be the last time she will see Athenai alive.

As soon as the throne room doors closed Lochlyn looked at the queen. "I wish you would not do that to the youngling my queen. He is still attached to you and it makes it harder for him to get his training right. I wished that you sent me instead." Lochlyn said to the queen. The queen rolled her eyes and looked down at the general.

"No general you will do what I asked you to do. You and a few of the army must hunt to find more love, the storages are getting low. Now I will return to bedchamber to rest. I will call upon in two days if Princess Celosia and Athenai have not returned. Good night general." Chrysalis said leaving the throne room. The general shook his head and went deeper down into the Hive to pick his men to go find more love for the Hive.
