Chapter 10 New friend

Princess Celestia finally let go of me and stood before me. Tears rolling down from her eyes.

"I am so glad you're safe" She said.

"Thank you" I said.

"Where are your parents?" She asked worriedly.

"They are in Ponyville" I said, it would be awkward if I told her I ran away, I didn't know what I was gonna do after this? Go home? Maybe.

"You came here by yourself?" She asked.

"Yes"

"So your parents told you?"

"Actually Discord told me…" I explained about the incident after I left Duskstorm's, my parents, and the train ride.

She nodded, and realized what I had to go through to get here.

"I knew Discord would do something like that. Follow me" Princess Celestia said, turning and going down another hallway. I gingerly followed. We went down a hallway with stain glass windows on the walls, with the political events of Equestria. One of my mom and her friends defeating Nightmare Moon with the elements of harmony, Princess Cadence and Shining Armour defeating Queen Chrysalis, and the next one…. I stopped and stared at it.

My Mom and her five friends, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack turning Discord into stone.

I gulped.

Princess Celestia was far down the hallway by the time I decided to follow her again.

I opened my wings and flew fast to her side. She turned around.

"I know this is a lot to take in, but there must be a reason why Discord picked you. I just don't know why, and you don't have to be afraid. I bet nopony has experienced the pain and suffering you endure right now, but you must stay strong for the sake for Equestria. You need to fight for your freedom and to save Equestria, and if you lose… it would be worse than you can imagine" she said coldly.

"I understand Princess, but how will I defeat him if I don't have any magic?" I asked.

"Well, that's strange. Your powers should have reacted by now" Princess Celestia said.

Then, I remembered, the blue dome that surrounded me, not letting Discord's magic affect me, when he tried to hypnotize me and my eyes had turned into stars not letting him in. Was that the power?

"Well crazy things have happened to me" I said simply.

"What kind of things?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Well, whenever I go to sleep I'm not tired. I also never have dreams, except for one I had last night. And also on the train, when Shooting and I were escaping, my hoofs glowed blue and a dome surrounded us and protected me from Discord's magic, long enough to escape. And he tried to make me love him by hypnotizing me and stars filled my eyes and protected me from it… I don't know why my body reacted like that" I said.

"I see" was all she said.

"Why did I do that? Do you know?" I asked.

There was a long pause. Tears filling her eyes again as she turned away from me and sat down on the clear floor.

"I can't take this anymore!" She choked. She cried. I stood there, shocked.

"B…but" I started.

"Guards! Lock her up until I figure something out!" She yelled, her voice echoed across the room.

She turned around to face me.

"I am doing this to protect you Starshine, please forgive me" She said.

I froze. No…. I came all this way to be free…. Not to be locked up again!

Guards burst down the door, surrounding me. They filled the room, until I couldn't see Princess Celestia's face.

I was surrounded.

There was no escape, even if I flew, they all were pegasai. They knew who I was and they all didn't want to lock me up, but nopony didn't want to do this anymore than Princess Celestia.

"Come with us" The guard to my left said.

My eyes were horrified as I obeyed them. Once again they acted like I was a bird, meant to be locked up.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I sat on the cold stone prison bench in despair.

JAIL.

I would rather be locked in my room in the cloud house then in Jail.

"Hey Mom and Dad! I ran away and went to Canterlot and got thrown in jail!" I thought.

I'd be dead if they found out. I would never leave the cloud house again, and I'll be homeschooled forever, even worse I'd never leave my room ever again!

I always dreamed if I was in jail I would sing the blues, but unfortunately I didn't have a harmonica on me.

I felt like the bars were closing in around me… cold and alone…

A guard guarding the gate looked to me.

"I didn't want to do this, honestly" He said.

"Its fine, I think it's the universe saying this is for my own good" I replied.

Another guard walked toward my cell.

"Complimentary harmonica" He said, giving me a harmonica with his mouth, careful not to get his saliva on the part where you were meant to put your mouth on.

Wow they gave free harmonicas. It was clean and rustic. Better than nothing. The guard slipped it through the bars and it landed gently on the floor in front of me. He turned and walked away.

There was nopony in the dungeon, that figures. So I guess I was in the clear.

I got up off the bench and slowly and picked up the instrument with my mouth, walked back over and sat on the bench again.

I held it with my hoofs and started playing it.

"I got the blues!* Plays harmonica* I've been thrown in jail, * Plays harmonica*this was an epic fail, nopony deserves this more than me!

Cause I got blues! Oh yeah!* Plays harmonica wildly* and I ache from playing harmonica and I only got two lessons and everypony said I was good at it and played wildly in jail! * Plays harmonica* And I'm gonna die from starvation YEAH! Wrote this song in two minutes and now I don't have fooooooooooood! * Ends with harmonica*"

I ended it.

"You play good!" The guard guarding my cell exclaimed.

I froze. Nopony should've heard that!

I almost dropped the harmonica.

"Heh heh thanks" I said.

I suddenly heard hoofsteps outside my cell.

A mare in a dark cloak that hid her face stepped towards my cell.

"Sorry, but what are you doing here? You need permission to be down here" The guard said.

"Apologies but Princess Celestia requested thou to release the cursed princess" She said.

I perked my ears.

"Why should I listen to you? Princess's orders to keep her locked up" The guard said.

"I am the princess's adviser… NOW RELEASE THE CURSED PRINCESS!" She yelled so loud it created wind and it echoed through the dungeon. My eyes watered from the wind.

"Alright! Alright!" The guard said, unlocking the cell door. His eyes widened in fear at the mare.

"Your free Starshine!" he exclaimed in fear and ran down the hall screaming and was gone.

My mouth hung open.

I looked at the open door then at the mare. I did this a few more times until my brain was clear.

"Come dearest Starshine, why aren't thou leaving this dreadful prison?" She asked me.

I wasn't scared, just shocked. Who was this mare? Why was she breaking me out? I hated to admit it but she was right, I didn't want to be in this cell much longer. I got off the bench and slowly walked through the open cell door.

The mare giggled.

"No need to fear us Starshine" she said.

"Why should I be scared of a pony who yells a lot? Who are you?" I asked.

The mare lifted her hood and I gasped at who it was.

Me: Guess who the mystery person is!

Discord: I know who it is! It's…

Me: * Claps hand over his mouth* UNTIL THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Discord: Mhhh! Mmmh!

Me: Quiet you!
