Using all my strength in my hooves, I pushed the stallion aside and took off at a dead gallop towards town.

"You're not going anywhere!" I heard him yell as he ran behind me, sending my adrenaline through the roof. I pushed myself harder as ponies stared on, not daring to do anything. As I ran towards home, I noticed Roseluck and Daisy pushing a cart of flowers in front of me. Pausing briefly, only to hear Legato advancing, I slid under it, catching my fur a bit on the bottom of the cart. I heard Legato grumble in frustration behind me, and I turned towards home. Slowing to an easy canter, a bright flash of dark green interrupted me. I stopped as the black unicorn appeared in front of me, and turned tail back down the other side of the street into a dark alley on the other side.

"You can't get away!" he yelled, and I turned and started tugging on the rope to let my wings free. Once I had them free, I was gone. Legato couldn't get me in the air.

Stupid me wasn't paying attention to where I was going, so I didn't see the rock in front of me.

Wham. Next thing I knew I was on the ground, Legato standing over me where I tripped.

"Stupid filly, I've got you now." he said, and licked his lips creepily.

"Help!" I shrieked, and he covered my mouth with his hoof again.

"For Celestia's sake would you be quiet!" he said annoyingly, and I saw a flash of orange out of the corner of my eye. A bright orange unicorn came out of seemingly nowhere, throwing himself into Legato.

Pyrus! I though happily as Legato reached with a free hoof and merely pushed Pyrus away. The smaller unicorn stood, shook his head, and threw himself into the larger unicorn, taking Legato down this time. I got up and pulled my wings free. Pyrus jumped from where he had been fighting Legato to in front of me, in a defensive stance, horn ignited with magic.

"Leave her alone!" he snarled, and I saw his tail swish angrily.

"She's mine!" Legato growled and lept at Pyrus. The orange unicorn shot a beam of fiery energy from his horn, sending Legato flying backwards. Pyrus looked back at me, green eyes flickering with protectiveness.

"Run." he said, and I nodded. Both of us took off while Legato struggled to stand. I looked behind us to see the black unicorn galloping after us. I faced forward, and ran, easily keeping pace with Pyrus.

"He's following us!" I yelled over the wind.

"I figured as much. Follow me." He yelled back, and turned towards Everfree Forest. It hit me then. Anypony with even a tiny bit of sense wouldn't follow somepony into the Forest. Trusting Pyrus, we ran a bit faster, hearing Legato advancing on us. I looked over my shoulder to see him close now, and looked in front of me to see the Everfree Forest approaching rapidly. Using my last burst of energy, I pushed myself into the dark forest, Pyrus close behind me. As we slowed to a walk, I heard a yell of agony from Legato far behind us.

"I'll get you eventually Feather Note!"
