(Author's notes): I am going to start splitting up the chapters by who's telling the story. Each main character will have chapters of their own during the Lightning arc. Leave comments about how you feel about the switch in style. If you don't like it don't worry it's not permanent. I left another reference from the show in here and one from a movie. I'm sure you guys will see them. As always comment, thumbs up and enjoy. :)

Lightning:

The past three days had been the some of the worst in Lightning's life. She was currently being held hostage by her own father, Icestorm. She was tied up and had no idea where she was. She decided to go over the events of the past few days to see how she wound up here.

Three days ago. Lightning was helping Fuse pack for one of the biggest events of his life. She was so proud of him that he was going to be performing at the Gala. She was even more excited that he was going to be performing along side Vinyl Scratch her new friend and music idol. This was all a dream come true for Fuse and she knew it. She couldn't wait to be backstage cheering on the love of her life in front of crowds of thousands. They would shower him in diamonds! But sadly she would have to catch the first train to Canterlot in the morning. Fuse got to stay at the castle because he was a performer but she wasn't so she couldn't stay with Fuse.

Fuse left for the 7 pm train and Lightning began counting the hours until she could see him again. When 11 pm rolled around she couldn't stay up any longer and decided to go to bed. Alone. She couldn't sleep without him by her side. She always felt so warm and safe with him and without him she was cold and afraid. Around 1 am she heard a noise from downstairs. She was really afraid now. She needed Fuse so badly. He wasn't afraid of anything except losing her. Lightning decided to go check out the strange noise so she could try and sleep. She slowly crept downstairs trying to see in the dark. Fuse didn't have a lot of furniture in his house so if it was a burglar he wouldn't have much of a place to hid. She didn't see anypony in the living room so she moved on to the kitchen. And that's when she saw him. Icestorm. Her father. Her blood ran cold and her heart skipped a beat at the very sight of him. She panicked. She couldn't move. She didn't know what to say or do.

"Hello LightningStrike." Her father said coldly.

"I-Icestorm...? W-What are you doing here? How did you find me?" Lightning could barely speak. Her father had a cold angry look on his face and had blood on his hooves from where he had smashed some glass.

"It wasn't hard. Your stupid stallion has even dumber friends. I went back to Las Pegasus and asked Firework's ex marefriend Sugar Sprinkels where Fuse lived and she led me here." Icestorm had a evil grin of satisfaction on his face. Lightning knew Sugar was a nice pony but not the brightest. Firework had tried to explain to her that Icestorm and Lighting didn't have the best relationship and he shouldn't come near her but she was just too nice to lie to anypony.

"Damn... That mare..." Lightning cursed under her breath.

"Now Lightning I'm here to take you back to Las Pegasus where you belong. I'm tired of you living with this stupid excuse of a stallion." Icestorm was inching towards Lightning as he spoke.

"He's not stupid!" Lightning screamed. "He loves me more than you ever have or will! And I'm staying here whether you like it or not!" Lightning was terrified but she stood her ground.

"I figured you would say something like that..." Icestorm flew at Lightning and struck her across the head with a blunt metal pipe he had under his wing. Lightning passed out almost instantly.

Lightning woke up on a empty train car on the way to an unknown destination. She looked around for somepony that she could ask for help but there was only Icestorm.

"Ah I see your awake. We are on our way to Las Pegasus. Your new home." Icestorm said indifferently.

"You won't get away with this Icestorm. Fuse will come kick your ass like he did last time." Lightning smirked.

"You are such a stupid child!" Icestorm spat as he slapped Lightning across the face.

Lightning whimpered but stood her ground. "Firework will come too as soon as he finds out and then your dead. Fuse and Firework will rip you apart." She tried to sound confident, but how long would it take before they could figure out that she had been taken?

"Again you are so stupid. This is all apart of my plan. I want Fuse to come find you. And when he tries to save you I'm going to end his pathetic excuse of a life for messing with me." Icestorm said laughing at Lightning. The look of fear in her eyes made him know she believed him.

"Y-You w-wouldn't kill him! You're too weak! You couldn't even handle him in a fight." Lightning didn't know what to say so she tried to call his bluff.

"You don't believe me? Well then I guess you never knew what actually happened to your mother." Icestorm said coldly. It sent chills down Lightning's spine.

"W-What happened to mom?!" She screamed at him.

"Isn't it obvious? I killed her." Icestorm laughed at the look of terror on his daughters face.

"N-no, no that's not true. That's impossible!" Lightning screamed again with a total look of disbelief.

"Oh really? Why do you think the police never caught the stallion who did it? The only other "witness" was me." Icestorm continued to laugh as this new information destroyed his daughter facade.

"You bastard! How could you?!" Lightning was starting to cry as she backed away from the monster known as Icestorm.

"It was easy. She was weak like you. She was good for nothing. Not even sex." The rage had returned to Icestorm's eyes. He was ready to kill Lightning as well but he still needed her. Lightning was curled up in the back of the train car as Icestorm still slowly made his way towards her. She had no where to run so she simply curled up into a ball and prayed to Celestia that he would leave her alone. Celestia must actually answer prayers because he simply punched one of the seats and went back to where he was before. Lightning fell asleep crying and wishing she was in Fuse's arms.
