Love Turns Evil

The guards got to the scene to see the princess’ escort had been the target and that the princess herself was nowhere to be seen… 2 guards called their King. They just told him that the princess’ escort had been murdered and he should come at once. The guards all looked fearful as King Shining Armor himself walked into the alleyway. He turned to his guards not looking in their eyes. He spoke in a cold and detached voice asking the one and only thing on his mind…

“Where is my daughter??”

All guards looked on in fear. How would they tell their king, their captain who had stood by them, that they had failed in finding and maybe saving his daughter… Their Princess. The guards all stayed quiet as Shining looked at the floor. As he did he caught sight of Flurry’s ring. Picking it up and looking over the dead bodies. After a long silence and him looking for evidence, he spoke.

“She is alive. Lieutenant notify the parents of Flurry’s friends and tell them they are welcome to talk to me and their queen about this matter… But please make sure they are aware we need a few days… Also notify the guard’s families about the losses. Captain shut off our boarder with equestria no one in or out! And get every guard in the empire ready as in a few hours we are searching the entire empire. Cadence and I will make an announcement in an hour that we are searching the empire! and we will find my daughter. TODAY!”

“YES SIR” They both saluted.

Shining with his head staying down, harshly teleported back to the palace steps. Shining would normally salute back and walk back with his guards but he didn’t know if he would have kept in the tears. He walked up into the palace. Trying to hold back tears as he entered the throne room, luckily the only 2 in there was Cadence and his brother in law.

The throne room was a sight. Crystal windows allowed light to bounce off the floor and ceiling showering the room a beautiful glow of colours. The place had 6 crystal pillars that helped aluminate this light display. There was a red carpet leading to 5 steps that lead to the thrones. 2 golden thrones and above each was the owners’ cutiemark. The right throne was Cadence’s and to the left Shining’s. The thrones had the owners mane colour as the pillow colour shining’s was blue and Cadences was yellow.

The guards closed the doors as he couldn’t hold it back anymore. Slumping down against the nearest pillar he placed his head in his arms and cried openly. Cadence watched him do this before stopping her chat with her brother and seeing to her husband. She walked off her throne to her crying husband she kneeled down and stroked his shoulder comfortingly.

“What’s wrong babe?”

“iiittsss” Sniff “Its Flurrrry…”

“What about her??” Shining looked up at his wife. Her face turning worried he had only cried this bad on the night of their honeymoon… He had cried over nearly marrying that changeling and how sorry he had been. It broke her heart and now he was crying over her little girl… Shining barley cried if he did it was behind closed doors not in front of her brother!

“Sommmmeoneee had taken” Sniff “Her…” Shining then grasped Cadence in a hug as the news sunk into Cadence.

“Someone…… has……..kidnapped….Flurry!?!?” She started to lose it as well as she said the line over and over.”

Blueblood watched as the couple cried. He waited until they had calmed down. Giving them their space before asking what was wrong. Cadence calmed herself and got up to go to her brother. Once she told him, Blueblood was unsure of what to do or say he just hugged his big sister telling her he was sorry and that he would stay at the empire until his niece had been found. He saw Shining hadn’t moved so he walked over to his brother in law. He sat down beside Shining, taking Shining’s hand and holding it tight. Shining then felt Blueblood wrap him in a hug. Shining hugged back before standing up with Blueblood.

“Thanks…”

“Your welcome brother.” Blueblood said with a genuine smile. “If anyone can find her… you will.”
