"E... Excuse me?" Fluttershy asked with a panicked tone in her voice.
"I'm sorry Fluttershy... I didn't want to have to tell you... But I thought you should know... To be safe."
"How long have you known this for?"
"Um.. Since they turned me chaotic..." Stormcloud answered.
Fluttershy bit her lip and looked at a very sorry-looking Stormy.
"I'm... Not mad.. I'm just.. Scared" Fluttershy said with a small whimper.
The stallion sighed and trotted inside Fluttershy's cottage and sat at the table, his head on his hooves.
"I knew this would happen... I shouldn't have come back.. But.. How could I leave the mare I love all alone?" Stormy mumbled to himself. He rose from his seat and hovered to Fluttershy, who was sitting on the couch. Storm Cloud held the mare tightly, Flutters squeaked and held the stallion back. They held each other for a few minutes, before Storm Cloud got up.
"We need to hide" Stormy said, closing his eyes and lowering his head. "They'll find you if we don't... And I need to stay with you to at least try and protect you.."
"H..Hide?" The mare inquired, "b..but what about my animals?? I can't leave them here, th--"
"Fluttershy." Stormy interrupted, "what's more valuable.. Your life? Or your animals? I'm sure you can find somepony to take care of them for you." The stallion said softly. "You're in danger, and I don't want to risk your life by staying here."
"Where will we go?..." Asked the kind mare.
"Well.. That's just it, I have no idea.. The whole organization... Or whatever they call it, has agents all over Equestria." The pegasus said solemnly before sighing and biting his lip as he thought.
"Well.. We'll just have to stay here until one of us comes up with something" the mare stated.
