My Mother Chrysalis

☆Chapter 2: Lost☆

Mildew stuck to the forest leaves leaving a earthy cool scent in the air. Birds chirped fondly to one another whilst the streams sang a knowing song. Flurry heart quite enjoyed the forest far from the bad lands where her mother and siblings lived. "Hello Mr.Toad! How do you do?" The filly would lay on the soft grass next to the pond where a big road sat in a lily pad. The toad would respond with a deep croak and leap into the clear water splashing the filly. "Nice to hear from you again" Flurry would giggle wiping the water from her face and continued along the river. She never felt comfortable at her home and was un nerved by the way the home moved and twisted. Flurry was all too different from her family but her mother never treated her as an out cast. Her mother always told her the same story of how she was brought to them. Long ago flurry was born to two poor earth ponies but turned out to be an Alicorn. The earth ponies were disgusted by the filly and left her in the bad lands to die. Queen chrysalis found the foal and took it upon her to raise her as her own. Flurry was always saddened by the story but was great full to chrysalis taking her in. In flurrys world she was the only one of her kind the only Alicorn. She felt alone again remembering these thoughts and suddenly the forest felt cold and saddened. Her heart would race as the forest seemed to close in on her. She would lay by the stream weeping to herself as the birds and the stream was drowned out. Suddenly she would hear a voice faint but sweet. The voice was gone once another over rode it "Flurry! Flurry heart my grub where are you!" The voice of her mother. "Mother!" Flurry would gallop to the echoed voice and find her mother frantic and worried until she saw the filly once again. "Oh flurry where have you been!?" Chrysalis would hold the filly in her jagged hooves carefully not to harm her. "I got lost mother. Oh it was awful!" Flurry wept into her mother's cobweb hair which stuck to her cheek. "Oh my Flurry" chrysalis would stroke the fillys messy curled mane as they sat there for a moment. Once back at the hive flurry was in her room that was more lively than the rest of the hive. Her room was painted lavender and her floors were the softest carpet and while the others had web hammocks for beds she had one fit for a princess. Flurry was not liked among her siblings and some times she heard them call her the daughter of the enemy. She wanted to drown out their whispered comments but they always stuck with her. Chrysalis would knock in the door "Flurry? May I come in" her rhythmic voice echoed. "Yes mother" she would sit up on her bed holding her favorite stuffed animal a small snail. "One of the guards found you something in the market place." Chrysalis levitated a long blue ribbon from behind her. Flurry heart was happy one of her siblings thought of her "its beautiful!". Chrysalis would beckon Flurry over to her with her jagged hoof "let me put it on". Flurry would leap off her bed and  stand in front of her mother turning around. Chrysalis would use her magic to levitate a brush off flurrys shelf and began to neaten up the curls. Once brushed chrysalis would work the bow around flurrys mane making sure to pull back the strands that fell in her face. "Thank you mother" flurry would smile but chrysalis did not smile back and only went to sit on her daughters bed. "What's wrong?" Flurry was worried for the sudden mood change in her mother and sat next to her. "I told you to never leave this hive did I not?" Chrysalis had anger but worry in her expression. "But it's so depressing in here with nothing to do" flurry would sigh and held onto her snail plushie tighter. "I tell you to stay here for your safety. What if an earth pony found you! You would if been killed on the spot." Chrysalis snapped at the filly her pupils into slits. Chrysalis was not going to lose her only love. Flurry was stunned since she had only been yelled at when she interrupted important events but this was new. Flurry did not cry "I'm sorry mother" she would place her snail down and curl her tail around her flank in shame. Chrysalis would cool down and sigh "I only care what's best for you and for all my children. Please understand I'm doing this to protect you grub." Chrysalis would gracefully leave the bedroom with a quiet "Sleep well". Flurry would go to the window and open it slightly looking beyond the bad lands and to the lush forest.
