I Will Never Forgive You

"DO IT!" yelled Discord, collapsing onto his knees. Fluttershy fought with her emotions. Twilight turned to her, giving her a sympathetic gaze.

"I'm sorry, Fluttershy," said Twilight, and she sadly turned to Discord, a stern look on her face. "Then you will have your wish if you aren't going to listen." She powered her horn.

"Just get it over with," growled Discord. "Take me away from this mare that I don't know anymore. She is nothing to me." His words hurt Fluttershy so badly. "We had children together, but she chose to do this." Discord growled, smirking. "May I do one last thing? It won't harm Fluttershy at all." He summoned the pony Fluttershy 'cheated' on him for. His claws gripping his throat, the pony stared in fear.

"This is an innocent stallion!" screamed Twilight, and she cast the spell, and Discord dropped him, and gave one last, psychopathic look before he was sent into his stone prison.

"No wait!" cried Screwball, as she flew through the bushes, and she gasped as she saw her stone father. A flash of magic beamed, and all the chaos was gone. "No! I was too late!" Fluttershy flew to Screwball, and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry!" exclaimed Fluttershy. Screwball growled, and shoved her off.

"No! Don't you dare touch me, you... you... monster!" cried Screwball, spitting in her mother's face. Fluttershy whimpered. "I should have trusted Daddy when he told me you were cheating on him. I saw what you said. 'He didn't change'! Well, maybe if you didn't make out with that stallion, this wouldn't have happened!" Fluttershy collapsed to the ground, weeping.

"It.. It w-w-wasn't me!" cried Fluttershy. "It was a... a... changeling! Two changelings! They took t-two different forms, to frame me!"

"Likely story!" snapped Screwball. Crying, she walked to her stone father, and collapsed in front of him. She was afraid of the snarling, psychopathic look on his face.

"D-Daddy, I'm s-so sorry," cried Screwball. The five other friends glared at her.

"Don't talk to Fluttershy like that!" snapped Rainbow. Screwball whipped her head at her.

"Don't you tell me what to do! Father never liked you, and neither did I!" Screwball turned to her father, and hugged him. He felt so cold. "Daddy, come back please!"

"Screwy, please!" Fluttershy pleaded. "Believe me! Can't you sense a lie from the truth?"

"No, you must have done something to me to make me lose that sense!" retorted Screwball. "Leave me alone!" Fluttershy flinched.

"W-Well, you're my daughter!" snapped Fluttershy suddenly. "We're going back to the castle."

"No! He's my dad and I'm staying with him," replied Screwball.

"Screwy, dear, Discord's only getting a small time-out," explained Twilight. "We're going to release him tomorrow."

"Then I'll stay with him until tomorrow," said Screwball. "You monsters! He told you how much it hurt being in stone!"

"No, a changeling took place of me, and it caused your father to go insane!" Fluttershy pleadingly looked at her daughter. A crack formed in Discord's statue, and he broke free, snarling at Fluttershy.

"Daddy!" exclaimed Screwball, hugging her father tightly. Discord momentarily hugged her back, before snarling again.

"So, turn your own husband to stone," seethed Discord, and Fluttershy recoiled in fear, as he went up to her, bristling. Her five friends ran over and stood in front of her protectively.

"Get back, Dipcord!" yelled Rainbow.

"Girls, in formation! I will recast the spell, and turn Discord to stone for the fourth time," groaned Twilight. "We may have to keep him in for a month."

"W-W-What?!" exclaimed Fluttershy.

"Oh, excited are we?" asked Discord sarcastically. "So you can go kiss your coltfriend?" Fluttershy gasped and paled.

"You brute! Fluttershy wouldn't do such things!" snapped Rarity. "She was at the spa with me at the time!" Discord rolled his eyes.

"Of course her good for nothing friends would back her up!" snapped Discord back.

"Yeah!" chimed in Screwball. "That mare isn't my mother. She's a beast!" Discord smiled at her wickedly. He snapped his talons, and he had all the elements in his claws. Crumbling them in his paw, they all gasped, and Discord made the remnants disappear.

"Where's your savior now?" asked Discord.

"Ya should have done it when ya had the chance!" hissed Applejack to Twilight.

"Oh no," murmured Fluttershy. Discord smiled evilly.

"Screwy, please leave for now, you don't want to see what's going to happen," said Discord, and Screwball's eyes widened.

"But-" started Screwball.

"NOW!" hollered Discord, snapping his talons, all the mares were gone but Fluttershy. He turned evilly to her. "Now, you are mine. Not mine through marriage." Discord took off his ring, and tossed it away. "Through death." He hissed, and lunged forward, pouncing on Fluttershy, claws digging into her flesh, and she cried out in pain.

"I'm going to make you feel the same pain you put me through," whispered Discord in her ear.

"D-Discord! Stop!" whimpered Fluttershy in agony, but her love for him burned as she tried to get him back. "P-Please!" Her eyes locked with his. She understood his pain in a few seconds. This happened to him before. His eyes shown the sadness, the pain. She saw a beast in there too, that had grown through this. She reached a hoof to his face, and all the beast left, and while he still gripped her hard, bleeding. A tear ran down his face, and he looked away.

"W-Why did you do it?" asked Discord. "I loved you so much- until you did this to me. I still love you, but you must know, you nearly killed me. WHY?!" Discord shown the beast inside once more, and his claws dug deeper. Fluttershy winced and flinched again.

"It was a changeling!" coughed Fluttershy.

"Lies!" hollered Discord.

"N-No! Look into my memory!" screamed Fluttershy. Discord scowled, and he did so. Inside, he gasped as he saw her, indeed at the spa with Rarity. Flashing to reality, he released his grip, and set her up.

"I will rid my presence of you," said Discord, turning away. "I will send Screwball back to you, and find a new home. I'm so sorry." Discord looked down, on all fours, and lifted his claw, ready to snap, when Fluttershy's hoof stopped him.

"No!" cried Fluttershy, and she gave him a long kiss. "I forgive you! I should have said something sooner!" Discord looked to her in bewilderment.

"But I'm a monster," said Discord. "Look what I did to you." He pointed the scratches in her skin.

"I know, but still! I caused you a lot of pain in the stone. It didn't hurt badly, did it?" asked Fluttershy. Discord looked away.

"I felt like my life was being leeched away," replied Discord. "Because you didn't want me in stone, it allowed me to escape because the stone was weak." Fluttershy nodded, feeling terrible for his pain.

"Let's go home," said Fluttershy. Discord reluctantly nodded.

"I love you," said Discord. Fluttershy kissed him in reply.
