Fluttershy looked back and forth worriedly, she didn’t know what to do, she was too frightened to think.

Discord sighed he was getting inpatient, Discord snapped his fingers and fire appeared underneath the cage. Celestia and Sombra started screaming. 

Fluttershy stood and watched, tears streaming down her face as her parents screamed in terror. She looked back and forth again, she knew what she had to do but she was too scared to speak.

Discord was surprised, he could believe they fell for it. Fake fire, brilliant idea! Discord started to laugh hysterically. That pegasus would be his for sure, speaking of her Discord floated down to her and chuckled making Fluttershy jump.

“So, have you made your decision? Or do you need more persuading?” 

Discord was about to snap his talons when he heard a faint whisper. He looked at her and asked.

“Did you say something?”

Fluttershy gulped and slowly put her hoof up and pointed at him.

“I, I. Choose you.”

Discord stared blankly at her amazed. He knew she would choose him eventully but he thought it would take longer, from what he’d seen he thought she was nothing but a coward. But then again he is 'burning' her parents. 

“Good choice, we wouldn’t want anything to happen to your parents now would we?” 

Fluttershy whimpered, and cowered behind her mane.

Discord chuckled and snapped away the cage and fire.
The king and queen fell with a big thump and looked at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy sighed she was glad that they were not harmed, but worse will happen to her.

Celestia and Sombra stood up glaring at the beast floating in mid air. Discord glared back and floated to the ground.

“Discord! give us our daughter and you will be spared!”

Discord laughed at them and they glared back looking deadly serious.

Fluttershy looked to them and cried.

“I can’t.” she whispered

Sombra and Celestia were confused, what was happening?!

“Of course you can just run to us!”

Fluttershy was crying harder. she just couldn’t tell them.

Discord gagged “Sorry to break up this touching moment but we have to go.”

Discord picked up Fluttershy by the waist and
Fluttershy tried to break free struggling in his hold.

"Wait, MUM,DAD!!!!!" She called out.

"FLUTTERSHY!!! Discord stop please!" Celestia begged

Discord chuckled darkly and raised his claw in the air about to snap his fingers. Fluttershy saw this and panicked she tried to push Discord's arm away so she could get free.
Celestia and Sombra were running towards them yelling at Discord to let go.Discord ignored them and snapped his fingers, and they were gone and only a faint scream from Fluttershy could be heard.

Celestia stopped and collapsed down to the floor crying. Sombra sat down with her hugging her tight Celestia hugged him back, she couldn't believe it they had just lost their little girl. Forever.
