A New Pony in Town

Kayti, Fluttershy, and Kaleb ran as fast as their hooves could take them. They were very out of breath by the time they got into the forest. Kaleb stopped the mares.

“Let me go first. I want to make sure to keep you safe,” Kaleb said. The mares nodded. They stepped with caution. They looked around slowly and carefully. Fluttershy heard a yell.

“Help me! Fluttershy! Help me Fluttershy!” A voice that sounded like Discord yelled. Fluttershy looked in the direction of the voice and started running.

“Fluttershy! Stop!” Kayti yelled as she ran after her. Kaleb followed. He wanted to make sure no one hurt the mares. Fluttershy stopped but only because she was out of breath.

“I…can’t…stop. I need…to…find…Discord,” Fluttershy said in between breaths. Kayti stood in front of her.

“This doesn’t make sense. If Discord is in stone...how could he be yelling from inside of there? Even if he could, do you honestly think it would be that loud?” Kayti asked. Fluttershy looked up at Kayti and shook her head.

Suddenly there was the sound of laughter. It was a mare and not a stallion but it also sounded very…evil. The three ponies got into a huddle of sorts. They looked around for the source but saw only red shadows.

“I have been waiting for you my dear Fluttershy. I knew you would come to find your precious Discord. Now that you have…we can have some fun,” the voice said. Suddenly, a red mare came from the bushes and grinned in a wicked style.

She was tall, red, and had a mane that was in a stylish hairdo. It was almost perfect. She had eyes that could make you cry if you stared at them for too long. They were red but looked like they had orange flames in them. Fluttershy whimpered. The mystery pony wickedly laughed.

“I knew that you were wimpy but I had no idea that you were this wimpy. I always knew kindness was weak,” the evil looking mare said. She said weak and kindness as if it was food she despised and would spit out if she tasted it.

“What…what have you done with Discord?” Fluttershy said through tears.

“Oh…you mean him?” She asked as she pointed her red hoof at the statue that came out of the other bushes, all by itself. Fluttershy gasped.

“Discord!” Fluttershy ran to the statue but the mare pointed her horn at her and put her in a net trap that looked like it hurt very badly. “Ouch! Ahh! Ow! Why…are…you…ouch! Doing…this…to…me? Ouch!” Fluttershy asked through screams of pain. The net was electrified and was sending bits of electricity shocks through her.

“I hate you! That’s why I’m doing this to you!” The evil pony said.

“Why? Who are you?” Kayti asked as she made a stance that meant she wanted answers and her friend saved.

“I hate her because I am the spirit of cruelty! She is the element of kindness! Oh…my name is Devillia,” she answered. Kayti looked at her with a petrified look.

“Please…just let her go! She didn’t do anything to you and neither did Discord,” Kayti said. “I think anyway,” Kayti mumbled.

“Oh but she did do something to me! She makes me feel pain every time she is kind to those who are cruel to her! She insists on being kind and nice to those who make fun of her and ridicule her! I hate that! How can some pony be that kind? It makes no sense and I will destroy the element of kindness!” Devillia screamed. Fluttershy cried and whimpered in pain. “Are you going to be kind to me? I have made you feel pain and made fun of you so tell me…ARE YOU GOING TO BE KIND TO ME?”

“I…I don’t know…I…ouch! Please make this stop!” Fluttershy begged. Devillia’s jaw dropped.

“You still say please when I do this to you? Why are you so kind? I AM GOING TO DESTROY YOU AND DISCORD!” Devillia screamed. Kayti gasped and Kaleb stood there in shock, not knowing what they should do in a situation like this.
