The Soul of Amicitia

"So you didn't find any exit either?" Fluttershy signed. "It's okay... we'll try to find a solution tomorrow." Sadly she looked at the desperate face of the Dolphin. She could probably found food at the island but for the dolphin school it was going to be tough when they were captured in here for longer. She hugged the animal, which dived afterward in the deep blue ocean. Fluttershy shrugged. She would love to do anything for the school but she felt rather helpless. She had searched the whole day and didn't even find the slightest scratch in the force field. For now she was out of ideas and exhausted.

She flew back to the beach. Angel looked angry at her and impatient as always when he was waiting for his owner. He hadn't eaten anything jet, with a demanding gesture he starred annoyed at Fluttershy. The pony wouldn't let him irritate her. She smiled at him and patted his head. "I am sorry, you poor thing must be awfully hungry, aren't you? Let's ends the day and have some nice dinner.", she said leading to her cottage. She didn't get used to the look of it on a beach by now. It was rather odd and she didn't like to be that near to the sea. She wasn't a good swimmer nor did she like storms very much. So it was still clear, who knows how the weather worked here? Angel was her only pet which was at the cottage, when Discord teleported her home. She felt slightly lonely because of this.

When she entered the kitchen to feed Angel the sound of water caught her attention. The sound came from upstairs. Her face frowned, she hoped that it was not what she was thinking. On the other hand, she have no clue how she could escape from this Island. Maybe she could trick him. She sighed. Whom was she kidding? She was terrible at manipulating anypony. Unfortunately her stare didn't worked out as she hoped. She run out of options... "Bon Appetite Angel. I have to check something.", she said her heart heavy as a brick. The bunny ignored her satisfied. A bunch of carrots in front of him was more important right now. He was way to annoyed, that Fluttershy had ignored him for some odd reason the whole day, now was his turn to ignore her!

Fluttershy walked upstairs the noise came out of her bathroom. Oh dear, like she suspected. That could be only the draconequus. What in the hay he was thinking? This was her home, her bathroom and he just... She sighed never mind. He probably couldn't care less about the comfort-zone of somepony else. She opens the door slightly, hoping not to catch his attention to fast. But all she could see were water filling up her whole bathroom. She looked puzzled at the fluid wall that blocked her out of the room. Thankfully it didn't make any afford to splash out after she had opened the door. Maybe she would scold him later. He couldn't take a bath for ever... She was about to close the door when suddenly some force pulled her aggressively in. Fluttershy hold her breath. The water was salty and tasted like the sea. Her eyes hurt a little bit, but it was to late to close them. She landed in her bathtub and shrieked in surprise. She was prepared for Discord but for not for the cold that suddenly stroke through her body. Discord smiled at her. They where surrounded by an air bubble. The bathtub itself was filled with some sort of vanilla ice cream. Some boats made of paprika, filled with bacon, honey and chocolate chips swam at little waves of wiped cream. Fluttershy stuck out her tongue. It was disgusting, sticky and way to cold. Also she don't feel well to have swimming pig parts near by her side. Fluttershy shivered. The ice was perishing but still fluid. How did he does such a thing?

"D... d... Discord! Why are you in my bathroom,!", she uttered. The draconequus looked a little bit beaten up. His nose was bloody and his left eye was swollen as she could say. He had laid a big bloody stake on it. Bruises and grazes were all over his body. He seems to enjoy the cold that apparently ease the pain. Fluttershy just sneezed and shook her body. "And why are you looking like you got under a train?" Fluttershy froze. She cuddled her hooves around her body to get a little bit warmer. It was useless. She resigned and tried to get used to the ice cream. Although her lips went already blue. Discord snipped and a light blue beanie with smiling ice cones on it appeared on her head. He smirked grabbed one of the boats and ate it before he leaned forward to her. "You should have knocked first. That was really impolite of you. Can't you see I am having a bath right now!", he said innocently looking at the freezing pony.

"I am impolite?! This is MY bathroom! You are impolite to use it without asking!", Fluttershy scolded him. She shrugged, when he was about to touch her. He looked a little bit disappointed. But now way she would allow him to touch her head. She wont let him to blow her mind again and turn her into a cruel jerk. She looked angry at him, despite she was aware of his immunity to the stare. He chuckled with joy. Maybe this was just another game for him, Fluttershy thought.

"You know. I easily get bored when I have no pony to annoy. So I prefer to have some companionship. And you didn't get violent so easy. Furthermore you told me earlier I should feel me like home!" He teased her. "About your seconds question. Rarity really have a strong right fist. I must admit I have underestimated her." He arranged his jaw. A loud crack came out of it. The draconequus flinched for a second. "Ow that hurt!" The stake felt into the ice cream and drown with an nasty noise. Fluttershy grimed. Now was a bigger part of a corpse inside of the bathtub. Her face got slightly greenish. But she had more urgent things she had to worry about. She swallowed her sickness and narrowed the draconequus.

"What?! What have you done to my friends?! I swear if you have done anything cruel to them I will never forgive you!", Fluttershy panted. Tears appeared in her eyes. She was anxious. The pony stepped on his chest to show him how serious she was. Even her whole inner spirit was crying in fear. Her knees trembled uncontrolled and made Discord aware of her anguish. "And now you even let those innocent dolphins starve to death! Have you even a heart?!" He moaned. The broken rip hurt really bad. And now almost the whole weight of the pegasus lasted on it. He pushed the pony away. She startled. Would he? "That hurts! I am hurt! What dolphins? What are you even talking about?!", he hissed. The pony clean her throat and tried to focus again. She couldn't let the animals down only because she was afraid. He haven't hurt her so far and it was a life depending manner, that he freed the school or they were done for.

"I mean the poor creatures you captured in your sick force field!", she shouted, closing her eyes and waiting for an impact. But she only heard an annoyed grunt.

"All right all right! I'll fix that! Satisfied?!", he grumbled and snipped. She opened her eyes. He looked a little bit bored and had folded his arms as he was waiting for her answer. Fluttershy couldn't know if he had held his promise. But she would find out tomorrow. If not he got to know her tougher side. He snorted and leaned back. Not thinking to get any answer anymore.

"It is a beginning...", Fluttershy said, carefully scanning his emotion. He still looked bored and just licked his bloody muzzle. The pony sighed, when she thought about Rarity. Had he hurt her as well? "Actually no! You have hurt my friends, haven't you?", Fluttershy guessed in fear.

The draconequus sighed deeply. Why had have he dragged her in? This pony nagged to much for his taste. He cracked his neck and cleaned his teeth with one of his talons. When he saw her anxious gaze he know what she was thinking. He groaned mad. "Well yes I hurt them, but didn't kill your friends! I just protected myself!" Fluttershy's eyes went from sad to angry and she focused the draconequus almost in a killing mood. At least it feels for him like killing mood. He was not sure if this pony even felt comfortable at the sight of blood.

He wheezed. "Look- All I wanted was to talk maybe negotiate and they just beat me up! I don't know why! But they thought I've killed you or something... Why does any pony think I am a murderer?!", he gulped. Maybe he lied a little bit but the gaze of that shy pony was creepy as hell. She still looked at him like she was about to drain his blood and laughing manically afterward. That was kinda sexy. He laughed to himself. Considering this pipsqueak sexy wasn't really what he would have thought a few hours ago. Now he burst into laughter. That was really a ridiculous thought.

"Oh stop laughing! Maybe because you used to hung ponies above fire pits?". She shouted angry. He stopped really laughing. That one joke would haunt him for all pony generations. Wouldn't it? It wasn't even that funny when he thought about it. But obviously ponies don't like the smell of burned coat and fresh grilled meat. Considerably they are all boring and really sticks in the mud when he thought about it. Annoyed he hissed: "Aw come one! Because of that stupid stained glass thing?! Celestia is sometimes such a drama queen! I've never killed a pony on purpose. If some of them got killed, lets call it collateral damage. Your bodies are just so fragile and..."

"How could you say such an awful thing?! Now wonder everyone fears you! These ponies are living beings. Still you just say their death are ignorable accidents!", Fluttershy screamed in shock. Was he really such a monster? He looked almost confused at her. As if he didn't know what the problem was. How could he just sits there and blinking like an innocent colt that wasn't aware that flies die horribly when somepony ripped out their wings?! She couldn't stand this cruelty anymore. She tried to leave the bathtub. Discord dragged her back on her tail. "Let me go! That hurts!", Fluttershy cried.

"He as you ponies were anything better!", he grunted. "What about your ancestors?! They invaded almost two millennia ago the homeland of my kind!" Fluttershy helpless tried to get lose. But instead she got dragged closer. "They are the cause of the death of..." Discord hesitated and leaned back. His expression suddenly was incredible sad. He whispered the last sentence almost inaudible. "Well almost anyone but me I guess..." He got angry again and smashed Fluttershy against the wall of the bathtub. She cried silently. It had hurt much. "So don't tell me I should care about your kind! You are so fluffy fuzzy, just so candy sweet and perfect. There is no way that any other order then pony lifestyle would work, isn't it?!", he spited angry his voice full of ironie. "Nothing more than bare meatballs to play with! That is your kind!" Fluttershy began to cry out loud. Tears fall into the ice cream and she didn't know what to do. "I... I don't know about your kind!", she sniffed. "Please you hurt me! I never did any harm to anypony!"

"Any pony!" Discord shouted at her.

"Or any other creature!" Fluttershy whimpered. She tried to get lose of the claws but they carved deep in her flesh. "Please! Please I am sorry! I am so sorry!", she cried out. Discord snarled a last time and let her go. He hates nothing more than pathetic tears. The fear of this pony disgusted him. She still cries and sniffed. He grunted. He was still angry. "Stop crying already!", he shouted. Fluttershy didn't react. He sighed and reached forward to her. She didn't even recognize him so he already touched her cheek, when she looked at him. "Please don't...", she mumbled sniffing.

"Just cut it of and we will get along." He answered. She nodded and tried to stop the tears. But it didn't work out well. She still hick upped and the water flowed down her checks.

"I am sorry...", she whispered inaudible. "You... you scared me..." He sighed. Looking at the slight scratches at her shoulders. Her eyes where filled with pain, fear and sorrow. He closed his eyes. By all of the chaos dammit, he thought. Why does he feel pity for this little thing? He had tortured hundred of her kind. Not a single one was under them that had have any affect to him. But she did somehow reminded him of somebody. Was it some other kind of her stare? Was it possible that she was really - no the elements where the important things. They couldn't be just a catalyst. He groaned bitter: "All right. Will you stop when I say I am sorry." Fluttershy blinked. What had he said just now? He apologized?

"Uuhm... so you don't gonna hurt me any further?" "Just chill out will you? I can't stand your face when you're crying. It is really disturbing. Almost ugly..." "Uhm..." Fluttershy was not sure what she could say. She was so confused that she actually stopped crying at all. "So... you. You will trying to be friendly? No more violence?" Discord almost burst into a laughter. He friendly to ponies? He smirked. Well he was kinda friendly right know and he mustn't be friendly to her at all. Why the heck was he doing this? "If it takes that to cut of this annoying sniffing of yours... Although I could just leave or make you silent..."

Fluttershy flinched. She took a deep breath. Maybe she should go on with her first plan all along. "I will trying myself to be friendly as well to you, when you are friendly to me.", Fluttershy whispered. Discord chuckled now. "Amusing, that you ponies are only considering to be friendly to strange creatures, when your life depends on it. I am pretty sure your three races would still have a real go at each other if it weren't for the windigos back then at your precious 'Hearts Warming Eve'." He stuck his tongue out like he was about to vomit. She wasn't sure but there seemed to be more about that story that bothered him. She examined him carefully.

"How would you know?", she asked. "They probably would have..." "Tss, I kinda lived already that time. Are you serious? I mean your races hated each other to the spine. The leaders wouldn't even have met, if they weren't forced to. As well as your super smart and kind founders. I mean. They wouldn't have met at all if it weren't for my...", he swallowed the last sentence. "Never mind." Fluttershy cock her eyebrows. She wouldn't ask him now. Maybe later. But right now she wouldn't risk he snapped again.

"So you think there would be a 2 millennium war" "No I think not. Maybe there would be a war now and then. Decreased all of you. Maybe there would be peace eventually. But not so fast and not at my home." "Okay... what happened back then? It seems to itch you." "And it is none of your business either!" "What happened? What was so different about your culture, that you got instinct by the ponies? I couldn't remember any war so far..."

The draconequus rolled his eyes. There was more than one war. Not between his kind and the ponies. His kind was destructive from time to time. Still they weren't especially interested in mortals at all. Yet it was rather strange, that Fluttershy seems to have no idea about Tirek or the fights between the griffons and Equestria nor the outburst of Sombra long ago or even the delicate condition between Saddle Arabia and the Kingdom right now. He chuckled, when he thought about their looks the next time they visit. All in all Celestia seemed to cover the truth with cotton candy and stained glass. Never mind it wasn't his problem that she let her minions die ignorant. Well it was just a matter of time they all where his minions. He smirked. Maybe he played a little bit more with the mind of Fluttershy. This time he had no pressure. He could turn her loyalty probably now. The face of Twilight would be awesome, if she found out that this couldn't be fixed with a bare spell. Fluttershy got nervous. What was he thinking? He tipped often at his chin smirked now and then and examined her. Then he finally speaks up.

"Only your way of living is right, isn't it? Controlling the weather, the seasons and the grow of plants. Take care for animals and even dare to interfere with the cycle of the moon and the sun! You doesn't even think about if something else were suffering cause of your weird order! You just stated that chaos is all bad!", he said all of a sudden. He seemed serious and wanted to discuss this with her. Okay. She thought. If he want to...

"But it is needed to be done! And you hurt ponies with your chaos!", she answered.

"You see that it works without your stupid order! In Everfree it works! My kind worked without it. Now all of them are gone, but me. That stupid forest is the last place in Equestria that's ticking like it was back in the old times! Have you ever think about it that chaos is the source of every living being?!"

"You can't just ignore the rules of a society. A society needs it order! Without rules, respecting and love each other our world would fall apart!", she insisted.

"Says the animal pony! Do you really think nature is more beautiful when it is pressed in form and order? That's ain't natural! Nature IS chaotic. Otherwise it would be just plane odd and gray. I mean look at the big cites. Full of concrete and barley a plant around! No place for animals!"

"It doesn't allow you to go crazy only because other have made mistakes! Even nature has it rules!" She shivered hard by now and just wanted to leave. She gaps when Discord dragged her to his chest. "I am not finished jet! Our discussion just started to get interesting now!" Many rows of little iron spheres appeared in front of them floating at the ice cream arranged in perfect order. "Maybe I am nuts. But just look! Order, perfection, stability means no movement, no change. No coincidence! Everything stays permanent and cold. But if you add a little chaos..." He created a swirl with his talon and the spheres began to move, creating new forms. "Bam, renewing, motion, future! A little bit of chaos is necessary to keeps things going. You see you could even call the existence of life caused by chaos!"

"But your chaos is to much! You destroy everything!"

"If you burn a forest down you make space for new plants." He dragged her closer and inhaled her sweet sent off fear and something other that had distracted him from the conversation. That couldn't be. He sighed and thought suddenly about a small purple furry body. Much more fragile then that one.

Something clicked inside of him. An instinct triggered by her overwhelmingly sent, her smooth and soft body, her pouncing heart. He was so sick of being alone. Something deep inside him wanted to protect her and never let her go. He shook his head. Looked down at her. No he must concentrate. No distractions were allowed. His plan was more important then any single pony in this world. The being she remembered him about had died long ago. All because of them. Revenge - That was everything that counted.

Fluttershy shivered so hard by now that her teeth clacked together. Her body was cold as ice and she was about faint. Maybe he should do something to warm her up, he thought. He remembered their last conversation at the beach and smiled slyly, it was her fault. Why did she remember him of the creature that was his whole world back then? He couldn't accept to let anyone near to his feelings. In any possible way. He wouldn't fall for one of the ponies. So why shouldn't he push the feeling to an aggressive negative state. He smiled. When she hates him she could protected him from betraying his plan. Carefully he covered her in his fur and feathers. Heating up his body to comfort the mare.

"At the price of destroy a working system and the base of existing for many living things.", Fluttershy sighed. At least the draconequus was a little bit warm. She cuddled her back inside his feathers. Discord had already forgotten what the conversation was about. He dragged her even closer and laid his head on hers, starting to stroke her body leisurely. "Do you know that lust is sometimes chaotic, too?", he whispered in her ear, inhaling exited her smell. She was so delicate and he enjoyed the touch of an other creature without getting hurt. But Fluttershy struggled she didn't want this touch on free will. "Discord let me go! I feel very uncomfortable about this! And the ice cream is disturbing as well." Discord smirked. That's what he wanted yeah right. Sometimes he cursed the fact that he contained a mortal part in his body. It had helped him to survive the order of the new world. But from time to time it interfere with his actual view of the world. His heart felt so much joy when he touched the body of the mare. He couldn't remember the last time he hugged someone. His brain screamed to be mean and show her that she wasn't more then a responding toy. But the pain deep inside his body tells him just to enjoy the touch. Fluttershy bite his paw. The feeling vanished at the same second. He loosen his clutch and liked his paw. "What was that for?!", he grunted.

"I already said let me go! I don't want you to hug me! I am feeling uncomfortable about this!", Fluttershy said with uncertainty in her voice.

"You feel uncomfortable?" He said sad. He hoped that this would have turned in an other direction. But who was he kidding. The pony was afraid of him. Like the last time he want to be tender to one of these ignorant things! Fear! That was the feeling he should be falling for. Not that butterfly filled pink cotton candy one. At least he get some intense feelings that meant to him. "I feel me harassed!", she shouted. "And I am about to become an ice cube!"

"Oh.", he hissed annoyed. He let her go and the icecream changed into a warm bubble bath. Did she just looked at him as he was the most disgusting thing she ever had seen? She swam away from him although she was still visibly freezing. He got in rage. "So I misunderstood your signs from before?" He hissed.

"Which signs?", Fluttershy muttered. He didn't meant the beach and the cuddling out of freeze? She blushed angry. He couldn't be serious. Did he really want to get near to her? Or was this another trick? That was way out of what she had expected he was up to. Did he really just want to... But he looked incredibly hurt by her outburst. "You... are lonely!", Fluttershy whispered surprised. For once the draconequus didn't hear her. He shrugged and seemed to be even more furious. "What's your problem? Haven't you said you want some companionship? Or are you to much afraid of me? What's wrong with a little hugging?", he sighed what was he doing? Why was he so angry?

"Excuse me but I prefer not be touched by the pony who abducted me! I am rather not fall into Stockholm syndrome.", Fluttershy said with an angry voice. "You are to offensive! I don't know you really and I don't like you a little bit! Why should I? You were nothing but mean to me and my friends!"

"That was offensive? A hug to warm you up is offensive?! Maybe this is the cause why I never get a chance with Luna." He bit his tongue. That information was nothing that was meant to be for her ears. What the hell was wrong with him?

"You was interested in Luna?!" Fluttershy beamed at him. He slightly blushed and then turned away. "Why not! As I told you, there are no female of my kind anymore. She is quite a beauty for a pony. As well she is immortal as I am. Ow and her gorgeous night. Or her attitude to be so serious on the one hand and on the other a little prankster. Her laugh is like the sound of the stars aw... I mean..." Fluttershy looked concerned at him was he serious. He must according to his voice. He bit on his lip.

"I... I mean... Think of all the arguing we could have had, because she's so stubborn! That would be programmed chaos or in other words excellent!" Then he signed and lean back into the bath. Happy that the conversation leaves a little bit the awkward zone. The pegasus looked at him with almost an aha glimpse. "But I am over it for generations by now. So never mind. It won't be happen now anyway since I transformed her sister in solid diamond.", he said quick.

Fluttershy starred at him. "You...you did what?! How could you?!"

"You asked that a lot. I just do things I am feeling about."

"But you loved her sister!"

"So, Luna doesn't love me ever. So why bother?"

"Maybe because Celestia gave you a second chance! Are you really that dump to think she and her sister haven't any positive feelings for you, when they does that? How could you betray her?!"

"Betray? Take a note we are not exactly what you call friends. As well I don't know if it was her idea or Celestia's."

"So what! Did you ever come to the conclusion to be kind by yourself to win a pony's heart?"

"Your kinda misunderstanding something. I was very young when I had feelings for her. I lose this affections long before she and her sister imprisoned me. I don't need her! As well I am not really interested in woman that turned me to stone. So relax. You aren't on my list either."

"With that attitude you will never achieve some friends! Or anyone who actually likes you a bit!", Fluttershy answered angry.

"Newsflash. I am the element of chaos the pure existence of dissension! I am the opposite of you and your precious friends! I don't need anybody! I have plenty of fun without anyone!"

Fluttershy had enough. Not a minute ago he wanted to hug her and now he insist that he didn't need anyone. Fluttershy felt kinda abused by him. She tried again to crawl out of the bathtub. Discord laughed, dragging her back. "But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy some miserable company! I can have a lot of fun with someone who isn't a friend at all!"

Fluttershy looked angry at him. "Seriously Discord is that so?! I thought you don't need anypony to have fun so let me go!", Fluttershy cried. She was scared to her bones but she had to fight now. "Leave my house! I don't want you to stay here any longer! Maybe I am imprisoned at this island but I haven't to endure you!"

"You can't order me around! Even if you are mean to me or shouting. I don't care! I'll leave as soon I am bored of you! Or if I want to hurt some other ponies!"

Furious she shouted: "Oh well then! Have fun! Torture some ponies to fill up that empty space in your heart. But leave me out of it! I don't want to be part of your pathetic struggle to forget that you are lonely! Because you will be sad and desperate searching for something more your whole life! It is useless to waste any kindness to you!"

"I am not pathetic nor lonely!" Discord grunted pressing her against the bathtub again. Oh my, she thoughts. I have to get out of here!

"Tell that your crush Luna!", Fluttershy spited. She hope she could intimidated him somehow. But he kinda seems to enjoy it. Why wouldn't he let her go?! His eyes where filled with and evil joy she feared.

"Hey stop that! You can't tell me what to do! But I can order you by my own will. I didn't made you cruel! You aren't allowed to be cruel when I haven't messed up your mind!", he chuckled.

"I AM KIND! But I won't let abuse it by some jerk!", Fluttershy cried. She tried everything to get lose but he was to strong. He laughed:"I am kinda impressed of this new side of you Fluttershy. I really wanna learn more about this side." He winded himself around her body feeling her heart racing in fear. If she wanted or not he would have some fun now. When she hates him he hadn't anything to be sorry about.

"Wh... When you do your little mind game you will never learn anything about it!", Fluttershy muttered. He laughed dark. "Think about it. Maybe I do everything you want but you will never know what I am really thinking or feeling. I will only be a puppet... a...", she tried to calm him down. He put a talon on her lips to get her quite. "Shhh. You are right. It could get boring after a wile. But for now I'll live with that. You won't remember anyway. So let us have some fun." He chuckled darkly and was about approach her. She starred at his open mouth only a few inches away from her. She felt his warm breath hitting her face. Fluttershy closed her eyes. "No!",she said and hit his muzzle with her forehead. Discord sniffed. He let her go a little bit. "Don't you think it would be more satisfying if you get that by free will?" The draconequus scratched his chin. What was she talking about? Her lips were pressed to a small string. She pushed as good as she could his body away with her trembling legs. Although he hadn't plan to touch her in any intime manner, she eagerly tried to protect her drlicate body parts. As if he was intrested in mortal mating rituals... he wasn't a teen anymore. Still an evil grin appeared on his face. He run his talon along her throat. Satisfied he felt her body stiffen with every touch. To annoy her was really to easy. Leisurely he leaned forward and whispered in her ear: "I could even make you love me. You would shiver by any single touch of me in excitement and pleasure. Why should I do any work for that if a single snip of my talons is enough to have complete power over you? Anyways I really love it, when someone looks at me in angst. Don't you think it would be a nice experience?" He laughed, that had have the right effect. She pulled away but was stopped by the wall of the tub.

Fluttershy gulped. He grinned his lips where about to burst into an evil laugher.Was he about to rape her? "But... but think about it. You have expired that one really often. Don't you think you will only achieve real power over me when I fall for you and a... and enjoy to be your friend with any single cell by myself?" She stuttered. "We could be friends.. real one..." His lips curled up. He let her go a little bit. Fluttershy still didn't relax herself. Discord stroked his beard, looking away from her as if he fixed something far away.

He really seems to think about it. Fluttershy smiled hopefully. "It seems to be unbelievable much work..." He grinned at her and patted her head. She frown. "Friendship ha ha. Friends... I almost thought you offer me something... more exciting. But friendship? Why do you try to give me something I am not interested in? I can make me friends when I am in the mood."

"Uhm...", Fluttershy coughed. "A but, but... well... but you never had have a real friend, haven't you?" In what situation she had gotten herself into? He looked down at her, her body was shivering not of the cold anymore. Her teal eyes were filled with tears. It actually bored him. He had liked her tougher reaction from before more. That was just pathetic. As well there was this annoying tiny voice inside of him, that couldn't hurt this pony for real. He tried to get some reason for his doing. But nothing that could be a good excuse for not cageing her up nor murder her, to ensure at least a few years of peace, popped up in his mind. Manipulate her? Ensure that she wouldn't turn against him. It was a stupid plan. Why should it work this time? He wouldn't go for it. The safest thing he could do without hurting her or alter her character was something else. "A real friend eh? Why not... It is worth a try.", he said satisfied, when he finaly got an idea.

"Wait you..?", Fluttershy was about to ease. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Very well. I'll try your 'be friendly' thing." Fluttershy smiled unsure. His face still looked somehow scary. He snapped his talon. The water in the bathroom vanished and he placed Fluttershy carefully on the ground. "Then sleep well little one.", he chuckled. Suddenly his expressions went mischievous. Fluttershy's face dropped. He leaned forward and stroke her head. All of a sudden everything turned black.
