Everyone sat around a raging bonfire, some eyes were on the blood spot that Loveless left. Her body disappearing into dust a few minutes after her death, all that's left was the red stain on the ground.
The rest stared at Discord in fear, anger, and worry, he was cooking a boar that he caught earlier when he went for walk to clear his head. Fluttershy would of been terrified to see a dead animal but after being Discord friend and lover for so long she realised that was the way of life, she also found out that meat tasted good but she wouldn't tell her animal friends.
Discord face was shadowed looking emotionless as he cooked, he knew they were staring except Fluttershy, who was leaning on him as she stared into the flames.
Then Discord's voice broke the silence, "Stop looking at the stain, your stares won't make it disappear, besides it's not even blood.
Pinkie, spike, and rarity looked towards him confused of what he said. " What do you mean it's not blood," Spike said before looking back at the red spot, "Sure looks like blood."
"Well, It's not. It's color is to light and it smells like paint."
"But it came out of someone… or something… so it's version of blood. Whose blood? Oh yeah the person you killed!" Applejack yelled as she stood up clenching her fist.
His eyes open fully as he glared at her, " For your information this is what we came out here to do. Did I not tell you that last night? Because I'm pretty sure I'm repeating myself now!"
"Well if we must kill to be free then count me out! Killing is wrong no matter the reason!"
Discord stood up abruptly with an enraged look on his features, "Like I said last night I don't like to kill either but I don't want to be binded to this stupid story no more! This is my life and if it means destroying these Watchers then I'm gonna do it! I am fighting for my freedom, no, our freedom!"
"I understand that but I don't agree to the way you kill them! You go dark and cold, you have no mercy! You scare us when you do that, we think you would turn around and get us next!" Applejack yelled as she waved a hand towards the others.
Discord froze, his eyes growing wider than they were earlier, he started to tremble. "Y-you fear m-me?"
"We fear you when you go all dark on us and kill with no thought!" Rainbow retorted as she stood besides Applejack.
Discord trembled as he looked around at the group, Pinkie and Twilight looked away with a guilty expression on their face, Spike looked at him in fear of how he'd react, Rarity glared at glared at him but fear was embedded in her eyes, he then looked at Rainbow and Applejack seeing the glare at him, was that… hate he saw.
A hand grabbed his, he turned to see that Fluttershy was standing and holding his hand. She looked at him with a sad, sympathetic look, tightening her hold on his hand.
Sighing, he looked back at the group with a sad expression as he hung his head, his bangs covered his sorrow filled eyes. "I'm sorry if I have scared you, it's just that, every time I see a watcher I want to end them because they had given us so much pain. I can't even control myself when I see them trembling in fear, it… satisfies me to know they know what we went through. I don't mean to but it happens and probably gonna get worse. So if you want to leave you can I'll finish the rest, you don't need to see this if you don't want too." After his rant he sat down not looking up.
Fluttershy knelt beside him looking at him with concern before looking to the group with a harrass glare. The group looked at one another before sighing, Twilight spoke for the group, "We will stay, we want to be free of the story as well so we shall go with you even if we have to face your cold side again."
Discord looked up at the group before smiling sincerely, "Thank you all, now let's eat before I burn the boar into chard."
The group laughed, " You better not burn it! I'm starving!" Pinkie Pie laughed out.
Fluttershy watched as everyone laughed and ate like nothing happened, she smiled happily knowing everything was going to be fine.
"Yo, you gonna eat or are you gonna smile like a goof ball the whole time?" Discord joked with a goofy grin on his face.
Blushing, she looked down at her food embarrassed of being caught watching. "I-I'm gonna eat."
Discord smirked, " Good because if you weren't I would of forced you to eat. We don't want you to starve now do we?"
"No, I guess not." She said before digging in, when he cooked it was always good.
"Hey question!" Yelled Pinkie out of no where.
Discord blinked at her confused as he had was in mid bite into his boar leg. He ripped the meat off chewing quickly, right after swallowed he said, "O-k… shoot…"
"You said that each watcher watches one of us. I was curious on who watched who?" Pinkie said tilting her head with a finger to her cheek.
"Hm… good question." He snapped his fingers making the map appear in his hand, he opened it and laid it before him. "Well, as you already know Rule Enforcer was Fluttershy's watcher."
"Yep we knew that part." Spike said cockly, rolling his eyes.
"Well, on the map it does show where each watcher is but there is a would for each watcher. The first two which we already met is fear and loveless, but the other three say pain, lies, and loneliness. I think this is a hint on who they are, of course fear is for Fear Enforcer and loveless is Loveless Ruler. Though the other three we don't know yet but we will meet them soon."
"Ok, but that doesn't answer my question." Pinkie pouted.
"Well after meeting Fear and Loveless, I can guess who's watchers who. Fear I'm guessing is Pinkie's watcher because what stops laughter faster than anything? Fear. Loveless, I'm pretty sure, is Rarity's because the way she spoke just reminded me of Rarity. Also you can't be generous if you don't care or love."
"Good point," Twilight commented putting a hand to her chin looking down, thinking. "So what's your guess for the other three." She looked up to see him answer.
"I have a feeling pain will be Rainbow's, Lie is obviously Applejacks, and loneliness is yours Princess." He said confident he got them right.
"And what makes you so sure?" Rarity said with a thin brow raised.
"It's a hunch." Discord said closing his eyes, shugging.
"So where to next?" Spike spoke up.
"Smokey Mountain"
