Author's Note

Sorry it's been a while, but really been busy. I know this chapter is short, but I needed to post another chapter to further the suspense. let me know what you would like to see the story to go. I'm open to any suggestions.

Time for shadow

Shadow was sick and tired of being locked up in the dungeon. She had left her father to be with her mother, but they got in an argument. She wondered if her father even cared.

King Sombra was taken aback by DJ'S question, he was speechless.

"Why do you ask about her?" Sombra roared

"Well I... I... Well she was here last time, and she usually is helping you out. But I haven't heard from her in my whole time of being here. Also you haven't answered my question about why you need a ransom. I'm pretty sure that I am stuck here for a while, so you might as well tell me what's going on."

Sombra sighed. " I guess while we are waiting for the others, I might as well tell you. Shadow went to she her mother who I divorced years ago with. To save you another question, Shadow's mother and my wife, is princess Luna. Shadow went to go see her, but they got into an argument. She now lies in the dungeon. So to get not only my daughter back, but also usual faithful servant, I am putting up a ransom for you and your friends who are considered important to the princesses. And when I've acquired you all I'm going to trade you back in return of Shadow."

"Wow" DJ whispered.

Shadow was pacing back and forth. Somehow she had to get back to her father. On the top of her brain, she would've chosen to run away from her mom and dad. Her mom was worse than her father though. And somehow, deep inside, she knew that her father would take her back. Despite the fact he was a well known villan, crooked in the mind, and somewhat cracked, he would take her back.

Identity was getting ready to leave for the tree of harmony. She had left her brother the note. She told her parents that she was going to see Caramel, and she left.

When she arrived at the tree of harmony, she called to King Sombra to make him aware of her presence. All of a sudden, the ground dropped from beneath her.

Shadow was running like hard. She had escaped by running out on the guard when he brought her evening meal. Then she snuck out of the castle where she overheard a shocked princess Celestia and her mom taking about a ransom from King Sombra. Shadow didn't have much time, but she did hear the part of her father keeping prisoners. She was outraged. Anyway, in the meantime,The guards were chasing her like crazy. With the last of her remaining strength, she ran into the Everfree Forrest.

Identity woke up to a sound she had missed.

"Wake up Ditty." It was DJ.

"DJ! Where are we, what's going on? Identity asked.

"I know this sounds completely crazy but King Sombra is capturing us so he can ransom us for his daughter Shadow. And I know that wasn't much of an explanation so here is what happened."

DJ explained to identity what King Sombra had told him.
