The Elements of Chaos Book III Chaos and Love

Discord slowly opened his eyes. Moonlight was still asleep. He slowly pulled her closer. He brought her up to his body and held her. Moonlights eyes slowly fluttered open. She smiled and wrapped her hooves around him. "You certainly look better." Discord said. It was true. Moonlight did not like a mess any more. Her mane was not messed up, she did not look tired any more and she did was not yelling and crying any more. Last night she did not twitch or clench her teeth. She had not been breathing heavily, and was not shutting her eyes tighter. "I do feel a lot better. In a way I'm kind of glad you forced me to stay in here all day." Discord laughed. "I am too. You slept all day!" Moonlights eyes widened. "Wait, if I slept ALL day, then that means tomorrow......" Discord nodded. Moonlight jumped out of the bed. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier! Oh great! Cotton is going to kill me!" Discord tried hard not to laugh as Moonlight rushed around their bedroom. "She will not kill you! You are such a drama queen! Besides it's still too early!" Moonlight looked up at the clock. He was right it was still too early. Moonlight slammed her hoof against her forehead. "Alright I give up! You win okay!" Discord laughed. He picked her up and put her back on their bed. "You need to relax! Or else I'll have to lock you in here again!" Then they heard laughter from outside their room. Moonlight was about to get up when Discord pinned her down. "Don't even think about it." Moonlight groaned. "But....." Discord put his paw over her mouth. "Your not the only parent around here." Moonlight narrowed her eyes. Discord gave her an annoyed look. "Don't look at me like that! You may be able to tell them what to do, but so can I." Moonlight rolled her eyes. Discord lifted his paw off her mouth. "If you are going downstairs then let me take care of what they want. If you give me what you did yesterday I might do more then just keep you in here all day." Moonlight sighed. "Sometimes I really don't like you." Discord ruffled her hair. "I love you too." Moonlight sighed. Discord gave her a devious look. "Screwball, Disharmony, Stellaluna come in here!" The three still giggling walked in. "Yes Daddy?" Screwball asked. Discord looked at Moonlight. "We are going to play a game!" Moonlights eyes shrank. Stellaluna jumped. "What game is it?" Discord smiled. "We are going to let your mother run and hide. Then you three get to find her, when you do you can do whatever you want with her." Disharmony gasped. "Anything?" Discord nodded. "Anything." Moonlight backed up. Discord had a sly look on his face. "I suggest you run my dear. Your lucky I'm giving you time." Moonlight ran. Discord waited for a few moments then he looked at the three. "Go get her." Screwball looked up at him. "Do you want to help us?" Discord considered the thought. "Why not?" Disharmony laughed. "Oh yeah! We got Dad on our side! Mom is in big trouble!" Discord smirked. "She certainly is."

Moonlight knew she did not have a lot of time. He had done this before, and he barely gave her time to get out the door. But this time he said they could do anything to her. Then she heard hoof steps. He let them out already. It may just be a game to them, but to her it was like trying to stay alive from those three. Then she heard Discord. Oh no he was with them. Moonlight began to panic. She ran into Stellaluna's room. She noticed all of her stuffed toys. She transformed into a purple unicorn toy and buried herself in the pile. She heard hoof steps. It was Disharmony. He was extremely good at spotting her. He walked over to the toys. Moonlight could hear her heart beating. He began to move toys away. Moonlight began breathing very quickly. She was going to be spotted. Disharmony was just about to lift the toy on top of her when they both heard something. "Disharmony, I think I found her." It was Screwball and she sounded close. Disharmony ran off. Moonlight sighed. She quickly flew out of Stellaluna's room. She went downstairs. She could hear Discord getting closer. She ducked behind a wall. Then he walked past her and went back upstairs. So Screwball, Disharmony, and Discord were all upstairs. She walked across the room but then bumped into something. She looked down. It was Stellaluna. Moonlight jumped back. She had forgotten about her. "Hi Mom." Stellaluna said. Moonlight tried to fly but her wings were taken away. "When did you learn to do that?" She asked in a nervous voice. "Dad showed me a while back." Stellaluna said. Moonlight backed up. "You may take most traits from me, but you definitely take your fathers scarier side." Stellaluna smiled. "Thanks Mom." Moonlight sighed. "Does this mean you will stop chasing me?" Stellaluna laughed. Stellaluna had a mixture of Discord's maniacal laugh and Moonlight's devious laugh. "No. Come on Mom, I'm not just your daughter." Moonlight tried to think. Then her horn flashed. She smiled. "Your not the only one with Unicorn magic Stellaluna. Besides even if you took my horn away you can't really do anything without your father." Then she heard Discord's voice. "Really? I beg to differ." Moonlight turned around to see Discord, Screwball, and Disharmony behind her. Discord snapped his fingers taking away Moonlight's horn. She was scared. Screwball, Discord, Stellaluna, and Disharmony got closer. Moonlight sighed. "Do your worst." Discord laughed quietly. "Don't worry we will." Disharmony smiled. "Goodnight Mom." Discord snapped his fingers. Then Moonlights world went black.

Moonlight slowly opened her eyes. Screwball was in front of her. "Hi Mom!" Moonlight gasped. "Screwball, where are we? What did you do to me?" Screwball giggled. "You'll see." She slowly trotted off. Moonlight tried to follow her but she could not move. Everything was dark but she could still see Screwballs outline as she continued running off. She felt scared. Where was Discord? What was going to happen? Just then Stellaluna came out. "Hi Mom, are you okay?" Moonlight sighed. "I'm fine, but why can't I move? Where are we? Where is your father?" Stellaluna smiled. "Come on Mom! Screwball did not tell you, so I can't tell you. But about Daddy, he's coming." Moonlight tried to move again. Stellaluna giggled. "Mom, your not going to be able to get out of that. Especially without your wings or horn." Moonlight sighed. "Then could you help me?" Stellaluna stepped back. "No, Daddy wants you to stay there until he comes." Moonlight looked a little angry. "Stellaluna what is going on. What is he going to do? Where is he? Tell me right now." Stellaluna looked a little scared. Until Moonlight saw Discord step out of the darkness. Stellaluna looked relieved. Discord looked down at her. "Go with your sister and brother." Stellaluna smiled and ran off. Moonlight looked up at him. "Do you mind telling me why I in the middle of nowhere, why I can't move, and most importantly whats going on here!" Discord laughed. "You are hilarious. First your not in the middle of nowhere, second you can't move because I put a spell on you, and third....well you'll have to wait and see." Moonlight tried to look at herself. "What did you four do to me?" Discord looked at her. "Nothing yet...." Moonlight's eyes shrank. "Wait, you're telling me after that entire time I was unconscious, you did nothing to me?" Discord just smirked. "Well maybe not nothing. We did all this." Moonlight looked at the darkness. "Wow, you made it so I can't move and made it really dark. I'm so impressed." Discord sighed. "Sarcasm, very funny. It's not the darkness. It's what's behind it." Discord snapped his fingers causing Moonlight to be able to move again. Then he slowly disappeared. Moonlight looked around in the darkness. Suddenly bursts of light of blue, pink, and grey came shooting out in the darkness. The colors swirled and twisted. And they flew out in chaotic patterns. Then a bright yellow light appeared. It was much brighter and bigger. Then Moonlight realized what the colors were for. The light blue was Stellaluna. The pink was Screwball. The grey was Disharmony. The yellow was Discord. They continued to twist and stream everywhere. It lit up and then Moonlight realized she had her horn. She used her magic to send up a beam with a mixture of purple and blue. Her light and Discord's light twirled and wrapped around each other. Screwballs light began swirling in circles around Discord's and Moonlight's light.  Stellaluna's and Disharmony's began twisting inside and out of Screwballs circle. There was so many colors and it was all so bright. Chaos made up Moonlight's family. And as long as it stayed, chaotic love can't die. When everything ended Discord and the three foals came down. Discord gave her a sly grin. "You do realize because we caught you they still get to do anything to you right?" Moonlight sighed. "Fine....."
