The Element's of Chaos

Moonlight was heartbroken. She did not care where she went just as long as she could find a place to think. She could feel many tears fall down her face and drizzle in the wind as she flew. She could not stop thinking about what had happened only minutes ago. Discord was talking to her friends and they suggested that they should stay away from her for a while just so she could focus on controlling her power. Moonlight had gotten so upset that she had flew off in anger. Suddenly she heard thunder, rain began to pour from the sky. But this was not chocolate milk like it usually was, it was water. Moonlight saw lightning streak across the sky in a blazing flash. It was almost as if the world was crying too. The thunder groaned, it sounded closer, suddenly the lightning flashed and it was very close. In it's bright light Moonlight saw.... Cotton Feathers. She saw her point a hoof at her and could barely make out her saying, "I see her! Over there." Cotton flew closer to her, Moonlight panicked.... friend or not she wanted to be alone. In the darkness she saw her getting closer, Moonlight quickly flapped her wings. She flew past trees and over stones and around corners. Eventually she found a small cave and dashed into it. She ducked behind the wall, she quickly heard Cotton Feathers swish by and the sound of racing hooves go by. When they were gone Moonlight breathed out slowly, just to make sure they were gone she checked outside. When she saw nopony she went inside the caves. Her mane and coat were dripping wet, and she was cold and scared. But Moonlight knew what to do in a time like this. She gathered small sticks and stones in the cave and made a small fire. She quickly dried up and got warm and cozy. She found a small pool near the side of the cave where she made a glass appear with her magic. She saw little squirrels drinking the water so she figured it must be safe to drink. After a while she got very tired and went outside, using her magic she formed a bubble around her so she would not get wet again. She found some thick leaves and used her magic to weave them together to create a blanket and a tiny pillow. Moonlight brought them both into the cave and laid them near the fire. She did not want to get too close for she had a fear of them burning. She slowly laid down and as she fell asleep she thought what her friends must be feeling like. What was Discord feeling like? Slowly with many tears in her eyes Moonlight fell asleep.

Cotton Feathers and her friends had been searching for an hour and Moonlight was nowhere to be seen. She flew down to where her friends were and said, "I still cannot find her. Have you girls spotted anything." Chocolate Pie was starting to cry and her mane was flattening like a deflated balloon. "We are never going to find her! I feel like such a mean meanie pants!" Star Dim walked over to her and said, "It's ok darling. We all feel bad. And we are going to find her, right?" Star Dim looked at Cotton Feathers and then pointed towards Chocolate. Cotton said, "Right! Don't worry Cocoa we will find her. I'll try to search higher." Just then they all heard thunder Cotton Feathers glanced around in a nervous way but bravely flew up past the trees, then in the distance she could make out a figure, when the lightning flashed Cotton got a better look. It was Moonlight! She could see a terrified look in her eyes and tears were streaming down her face. Cotton noticed the look on Moonlights face, just as Cotton saw her, she saw Cotton. Thinking quickly Cotton said, "I see her! Over there!" Cotton looked down and saw Star Dim and Chocolate Pie following her Cotton raced towards Moonlight, she saw Moonlight panic, then just as she was three feet away Moonlight raced off, Cotton knew it must be scary having sompony chase her, but they needed to get her. They needed her, Discord needed her. She saw Moonlight race over and under trees, past rocks and over streams, she was very fast, Cotton had known this since they were both fillies. Suddenly Moonlight raced past a corner of a giant rock wall, when Cotton went by she could not see her any more but she continued to fly, she heard Chocolate and Star racing behind her after a while they stopped. Cotton flew down and said, "I lost her, we need to split up and find her if you find her give the others some kind of signal." Star and Chocolate nodded they both went different paths into the forest. They were going to find their friend at any cost.

Discord was very worried. Usually he did not fuss over these kind of things, but this time it mattered. From the time Discord had come across Moonlight he felt she was different from everypony. He hated seeing her upset and now he felt awful. The one pony that understood him and knew what he felt like was gone. It hurt. He thought of when he first met her, she seemed quite shy but at the same time was not frightened by him, she talked to him as if she had known him for years when they really had only known each other for a month. She felt uncomfortable leaving him and spent so much time with him, she was the only thing he had been thinking about for the past few weeks. He had told the others to look for her, though they had only been gone an hour it felt like a million years. After a while he heard a deep sound, Discord looked outside and saw rain pouring down from the sky, the clouds looked dark and angry, the thunder sounded deep and groaning, the lightning flashed as if it was terrified and wicked. He also saw the sun quickly set and the moon took its place. It was hard to tell the difference even with the sun, the sky was so dark and grey that with the moon the only difference was it was almost black outside. A single tear fell down Discord's face as he said, " What have I done to you, my dear Moonlight?"
