"Discord, are you awake?" She whispered, slowing inching further into the room. His head snapped toward her and he shot up. "Hey! Don't hurt yourself!" She fussed, rushing to his side. He would have rolled his eyes if he hadn't been so happy to see her. "It's good to see you..." He murmured. She smiled, placing her hand on his cheek. He grinned and pulled her closer to him as he kissed her. She sighed in relief as their lips met, having craved his touch for so long. "I'm happy you're here..." He said, a prolonged sigh escaping his lips. "But?" She guessed. "But my father is coming back, he only left to bring me some food. If he sees you here-" "I don't care if he sees me." She muttered defiantly. "I do, he's not a nice man, Flutters. He's ruthless, and cruel and he'll do anything to keep my his perfect family image from being tainted." "And...I would taint it?" She murmured sadly, already knowing the answer. "No! Of course not. My father would simply rather have me inherit his business and obtain a rich young trophy wife." He spit angrily at the thought of his father's snobbishness. She smiled softly and looked away. "Hey," he whispered. "I-I..." He rolled his eyes at himself. She giggled at his frustration, and interrupted him with a kiss, knowing what he was trying to say. "I never got the chance to say i'm sorry," He pulled away. "For what happened." "It wasn't your fault..." She said, furrowing her brow. "Indirectly I think it was." He muttered. She shook her head and grabbed his face to make him look at her. "Did you kidnap me?" She hissed. Startled, he stared at her and shook his head. She nodded and released him, only to gasp suddenly. "Oh my, did I hurt you!? I'm sorry!" He chuckled, rolling his eyes. Ignoring his pain, he sat up and kissed her fervently. "How could you all be so foolish!" The man roared, shooting up from his chair and knocking everything from his desk. "S-Sir, w-we tried b-but-" One hooded figure stuttered, standing from his chair. "SILENCE!" The figure quickly sat back down, quaking with fear. "You are all trained professionals, are you not!? Can you not escape a simple police raid!?" The man stared at them and growled. "You're all useless. Discord has chosen to be weak, over a diminutive, inhibited child." He was furious with Discord's decisions, but more furious with the rest of his followers for behaving fatuously. "S-Sombra..." One rose. "With all due respect..." He swallowed as his leader turned to face him, an angry gleam in his eye. "H-have you seen her?" Some of the others snickered at the words, remembering the pretty girl who had won their ex-affiliate's affections. "Yes, I've seen her." Sombra muttered, paying no mind to the immature conversation that ran throughout the room. "Pretty thing, too..." He murmured. They could see the thoughts turning in their leader's mind. "All of you, leave me." He uttered, causing silence to fall over the room once more as they exited. He sat down with her face in mind, devising a very devious plan. "Derek!" A man barked. She broke away from their kiss, shooting up and almost tripping. Discord's hand shot out and grabbed her arm, keeping her upright. Her face burned bright red at the embarrassment of being caught and almost falling on her face. Gerard stood at the entrance, his foot tapping impatiently and an angry expression growing on his face. "Father." Discord muttered distastefully. "Tell me, are you dense? Did I drop you as a child?" "What?" Discord asked, rolling his eyes. "I'm sorry sir-" Shy intervened. Gerard shifted his angry eyes toward her. "I came here without telling him, I was just about to leave-" "Oh it sure looked like you were about to do something else." He huffed. Shy was taken aback by his words. "What are you insinuating?" She scoffed, insulted. "You know what i'm insinuating, girl." He muttered. "Now you can be on your way." Shy sighed, knowing she couldn't win this battle. "Flutters, you don't have to do what he says." Discord said quietly, grabbing her arm. "It's fine, i'll visit you tomorrow." She whispered, pecking him quickly on the lips and avoiding his father's gaze, which made her cheeks glow bright. Discord furrowed his brow as he watched her leave. "You can't micro-manage my life forever, Gerard." Discord growled. "Yes I can." He sneered. "You forget that you're my son and you're to do what you are told until you are eighteen! I won't tolerate your insolence much longer!" Discord frowned, not bothering to retaliate. There was no winning this argument, but he would win the fight. "So he made you leave?" Twilight asked, a look of sympathy in her eyes. "Well...he didn't make me. I just figured I should. Why do we have to face these obstacles just to be together?" She remarked, lost in thought. "If true love was easy, we'd all have it." Twilight murmured. "It'll be okay." She reassured. Nodding, Shy lay her head down on the couch and shut her eyes. Perhaps everything was going to be okay. "Sombra s-sir, are you sure this is a good idea?" Sombra glared at the boy stuttering boy, choosing not to answer. They were standing outside of the girl's home, peering at the light filled windows. "How will we know when she's asleep?" The boy shook. "Quiet!" Sombra hissed. "Patience is key, fledgling." "Why are we doing this sir?" he whispered. "You said so yourself, Discord is powerful. What if he comes for us?" "He won't." Sombra growled lowly. "He's in the hospital, or have you forgotten your rookie mistake?" "N-no sir." They continued to watch the house, peering out from behind the bushes. With a flicker of light, the light from her bedroom went out. "Let's go." They entered the home effortlessly, Sombra grinning at his pupil's lock-picking skills. It was the only reason he brought the little nuisance along. "You stay here, i'll obtain the wench." The boy nodded at his master's command and watched him head upstairs. "I have a bad feeling about this..." He whispered.
