Author's Notations: My humble apologies for this... rather shitty chapter if you pardon my language. I had to redo it a few times and cut out parts a lot. OH and an announcement, next few weeks, I won't be posting anything. I will be in a different state seeing my great grandmother for the last time before she passes away.

I awoke with cold sweat drenching me, my reoccurring dream waking me again. I looked around the dark room I had been in for almost a week now, and shivered as the shadows started to contort.
Disturbing things that had haunted me from my childhood started to rear their ugly faces, some, things I will still never be able to speak of.
I closed my eyes and rolled over on the couch I was sleeping on, only to find such images scratched into my eyelids as well.
My eyes shot open to reveal the back cushion of the couch. I let out a sigh and laid there, my thoughts starting to wander as they usually did when I was under siege by my own mind, when I had to stay cowering in my bed.
My mind drifted to what had happened the past week, my telling the princesses of the changeling attack, Grassy Blossom's rather laughable reaction to meeting them in person, having to stay in the same room as the mare for this whole time. I mentally chuckled, 'Wonder what the mane six will be like' I thought.
I slightly wondered why I hadn't been able to see Shining Armor the whole time I was here, but I ignored it seeing as how he was probably busy, being the captain of the royal guard and all.
Starting to feel rather uncomfortable, my mind immediately thought of rolling over, but as I sent the signal down to the rest of my body, it was as if something had cut off the nerves working in that part of my body. I inwardly sighed and proceeded to put the small pillow I had over my head and cover it with the blanket I had been given, slightly remembering a disembodied voice telling me that's how someone used to sleep.
I flipped over and started to find it increasingly difficult to breathe, but after adjusting the pillow I started breathing normally again.
After multiple flips and adjustments to myself more comfortable, I finally decided that I didn't need the pillow on my head anymore.
With my eyes closed, I removed the pillow slowly, not wanting to open my eyes due to what might be there.
My mind started to create what the room looked like, only with deranges touches here and there. Some, made sense with what I had been dealing with for so long. Others, well, disturbing and odd to say the least.
After a few moments of me trying to just fall asleep, ignoring to the best of my abilities what was burned into my brain, but after a long enough time it started to get to me.
My eyes shot open, thinking to disprove that there was nothing besides me and my companion in the room. My mind had been over exaggerating about the demons here, but as my gaze drifted from the abstract shadow cast upon the floor and up to the hole filled body that made it.
I opened my mouth to say something, but quickly found my words stuck in my throat as I looked at the being's face. The green eyes burrowing holes into me. A cruel smile crossed the beings face as I recognized it.
I let out a sigh ' I hate being right...' I thought as the changeling's jagged horn started to glow a deep shade of green.
I felt a sharp pain in my head as I awoke, and found lying on the ground inside a rather large cave.
A laugh echoed from somewhere, loud enough that I had to cover my ears with my hooves trying to block out the noise.
When the booming echo stopped, and I could see strait from the pain in my head, I looked around to find I was in the same caves that Twilight had been sent to.
I sat in near darkness, the only thing giving any light being a few off glowing crystals in the distance.
I didn't know what to expect. Chrysalis popping up on the sides of the crystals and start trying to harass me, or her just lighting me ablaze and laughing as I burned to death.
'Well, could be worse' I thought as I got up and walked over to the glowing crystals, 'I could be somewhere that I couldn't get out at all. When Twilight gets here hopefully I'll be able to get her to help me out of here when she and Cadance teleport to the exit'
I popped down on my flank beside the group of light blue glowing crystals and my stomach gave an quiet growl. I let out a chuckle that echoed through the caves making my head hurt more.
'Well, if I'm in prison, then when's the warden going to be down here with my food?' I thought looking around, only to find a shadowy reflection of myself on nearby crystals.
I let out a sigh, and laid back down on the gritty sand-like floor of the cave. 'lets just hope that Twilight, will be down here soon, or I run into Cadance' I thought yawning quietly. 'gets quiet boring being by yourself all the time'
I let my eyes shut, the glow of the crystals slowly lulling me to slumber.
A few hours later I awoke from the same reoccurring nightmare, giving a jolt as my body connected with the bottom of the cliff.
I looked around the cavern for some kind of change. Without finding one I put my head back down on my hooves where it had been and sighed.
Just then, a ring of green fire appeared on the floor about a foot away from me.
Wondering if it was Twilight, I slowly got up and dusted myself off to welcome the new arrival. As the fire began fading the form of the alicorn princess became visible.
I looked over the princess for a moment only to see that she had been captured much like I had, just after waking. I opened my mouth to say something, but the booming echo of the changeling queen's laughter cut me off, the feeling of nails being driven into the back of my skull followed as the sound bounced around us.
"Oh now I have two prisoners in my cute little cell!" a cold voice said. I managed to open my eyes for a few seconds to see Cadance talking, or yelling at, Queen Chrysalis who had assumed her disguise as the princess of love.
"You'll never get away with this, you... You freak!" the princess' voice rang out giving me again the feeling of nails in my skull.
I let out a pained sigh, and was tempted to yell at the two to shut up, but I knew it would only make the migraine worse, so I laid back down on the ground and covered my ears from the noise.
After heated words from both sides, the image of Chrysalis left the stone in front of the princess only to leave another cruel laugh.
Cadance's vision fell to the floor as I managed to get up.
'I really hate it when I'm right' I thought as I walked shakily over to the princess. "Are you alright?" I almost whispered trying to keep from upsetting the mare any more, or hurting my head.
The mare turned and looked at me as if she was about to cry. I racked my brain for something to say, but couldn't really find much of anything that would help, even though I already knew the outcome of this.
I let out a sigh, and just smiled, "Don't worry, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, everything will work out and you'll be with your loved one soon enough."
