Fluttercord: Midnight
Where's Discord
Previous ChapterFluttershy woke up one day, and looked in Discord's room. He was gone, and he was nowhere in the cottage or garden. It has been 2 weeks since Discord was first changed. Fluttershy looked around, but still, no sign. She was sitting down when a note appeared in front of her.
My dear Fluttershy,
I left looking for the creature that had tried to attack you before, and if I don't come back alive within the next week, get help and warn ponies about a creature in the forest. Please don't come looking for me, as you can't really defend yourself. No offense, you are weak. Please don't be offended as I was saying the truth, well I will be gone for a day or so. Please, if something doesn't seem normal, run from it. If Ponyville is attacked during my search, run. I wish you happiness while I'm gone, my dearest. -Discord
Fluttershy wished this was a prank because Discord could really get hurt! She didn't care that Discord said for her to stay out of the forest. When it was night, she ran as fast as she could towards it. She skidded to a stop right outside of the forest. Do I really want to do this, after how I encountered that dangerous thing, asked Fluttershy to herself, well Discord might need help! I will do anything to help him, even at the risk of my life. I love him! Fluttershy thought those three words over and over as she ran through the dark and scary forest. She brought her timberwolf pup, who was almost fully grown. Timberwolves grow fast! She had named him Stick.
"Stick, make sure nothing attacks me." commanded Fluttershy, as she went into a tall tree, looking around. She couldn't see anything. "Stick, can you see anything?" asked Fluttershy, and the wolf shook its head, no. Fluttershy sighed. Where could he be? Is he in trouble? Fluttershy thought of what could have happened. He could be safe! She didn't want to think the alternative... Fluttershy had her attention caught back when she saw Stick fighting a smaller timberwolf.
"Stick! Be careful!" cried Fluttershy, as the tiny timberwolf that he was fighting seemed very strong. Fluttershy and the wolf ran away when Stick crumpled the tiny wolf, slowing it down so they could get away. Even the tiny wolves are aggressive here, thought Fluttershy.
"I hope Discord is OK..." Stick nodded, and Fluttershy remembered how Discord used his magic to make Stick have pony characteristics, but Stick didn't learn how to talk completely, so it doesn't say anything.. yet.
"Wait." whispered Fluttershy. She heard a growl in the bushes, deadly familiar. "Discord!" Discord jumped out of the bushes on all fours and snarled. "Discord?" Discord stopped and stood up, looking confused.
"Fluttershy? What are you doing here? I told you to stay out!" Discord was in his vampire form, and he looked kinda scary with the dark surrounding them. "It is dangerous! I thought you were a creature and I was ready to fight anything that is a threat. If I didn't know it was you, you could've been hurt!" Discord sighed and looked thoughtful.
"You did bring Stick, he could protect you." he was looking at the wolf, who was panting from the running.
"Yes." replied Fluttershy, as she gave a treat to Stick.
"Tell me, why are you out here?" asked Discord, as he narrowed his eyes.
"In the note, you said you were going to find the creature, and I know how much damage it can do! I was worried if you were going to be alive when you came back. I was so worried, so I couldn't help but come out here!" explained Fluttershy, as she was blinking back tears.
"You could have been hurt too!" exclaimed Discord.
"But I can't live without you! Vampire or not, I love you!" Discord stayed quiet. He sighed again and sat on a log. He looked thoughtful.
"Maybe we can let the creature come to us. Obviously it is going to want to kill you now. It wants ME to attack Equestria. Then it will find a good time, and kill me too, and control Equestria, making it night forever." said Discord. Fluttershy gaped.
"H-How would you know that?" stammered Fluttershy. Discord looked down.
"I was spying on it, and then I heard timberwolves fighting. I was worried if you were there, as I knew you would try to follow me!" said Discord. Fluttershy looked away, guilty. "Well, lets go home. It is almost sunrise, and I think the creature stays in that form forever now. As for me, I am going to feel a LOT of pain. So, I need somewhere comfortable." Discord teleported them to the cottage, and locked himself in his room. Fluttershy heard a little cry of pain, knowing he is starting to change back. She walked outside, as it was time to feed the animals. Plus, she didn't want to hear how he is in agony. She started feeding the animals.
