NOTE: For a cooler storyline, I need people to send me some more OCs!
I awoke to an even more intense pain before. I felt like I was boiled alive, and forced to live through the continued torture. The green liquid I had been given before was injected before I had a chance to yell. I got up again to continue scouring the library, but I was stopped by a friendly face.
"You really need to get back on that couch." The guard next to the door said.
"I don't like it there. Where's my mommy?" I asked him.
He removed his helmet and began talking. "They went to find you more medicine and I was assigned to watch you here until they come back. You don't look so good; are you okay?" I noticed who he was instantly.
"I'm fine Silent. Just a little hot." I lied, sensing the guards concern. I heard Mom outside, talking with someone. I only understood pieces.
"...bad will it get?"
"When I...screams heard...other side...Canterlot."
There was a gasp as someone ran towards the door. I turned as quickly as I could, which wasn't very fast considering the pain. The door swung open before I could move, and I was sent flying across the room. Silent Wind quickly came to help me up. Once I was up, I saw Cadence holding Mom back from charging straight at me. I was causing her so much pain, and I never wanted any of this.
"Feather!" Mom yelled as she attempted to fly to me; only to be held back by Cadences magic. Tears were streaming out of her eyes, and it scared me. Twilight had told me what mom was like before I came along and it's nothing like this. She was fearless, daring, and tough. She never cried. Never. I changed her life. For the better? Twilight says so, but it looks different. She was happy around me, but when I was away at flight camp, she stayed with Twilight and read books. Twilight says they were books to help her take care of me, but how can books help? Twilight tells me everything Mom can't tell me herself.
I left the room, heading for the library. I was determined to find out why it was irreversible. I slowly made my way down to the library, followed by mom. She flew close to the ceiling, thinking I wouldn't see her. I had grabbed the bag Shining Armor gave me, and I knew exactly where I was going. Pony anatomy. I turned in the aisle, and saw a shelf divided into three categories. Four actually; I didn't notice the alicorn section on the end. It consisted of a single book on the bottom shelf. I grabbed it and put it in my bag as I scanned the unicorn and Pegasus sections and put a few of each in my bags. I left the library, still being followed by mom, who had followed me bookshelf to bookshelf on the tops. Halfway back to the tower I told her.
"Can you come down and walk next to me please?" She was caught off guard, but happily obliged.
"Mommy, I'm scared, can you come up to Cadences tower and sleep in there?"
"Of course I can." She said as we walked over the bridge connecting the tower to the main castle. This curse takes a lot out of me, as I can only be awake for a few hours at a time. I lay down on the couch and mom walked over, sat on the ground in front of me.
"I'll be right here when you wake up." She told me with a smile.
"Okay. I love you mommy." I told her.
"Love you too my little colt."
With that I drifted into sleep, back to the nightmares.
The throne room again, only this time, it was night. Same exchange of words. Same cries for help. Same burning pain. I woke up to darkness. It had become night while I was asleep. Cadence was on 24/7 watch over me, and. She gave me the medicine as soon as I sat up, but there was nothing I could do in the dark. I walked over and curled up next to mom, who put her wing around me instantly. I missed this. Lying next to her with her wing around me. I slowly went back to sleep on the floor where mom set up a few cushions to form a makeshift bed. This was exactly where I needed to be. With my mom.
