Princess Harmony Spark is knocked out and captured by a group of pony traffickers who want to sell her off to the highest bidder. She only has a week to devise an escape plan. Can she use her wits to get one over on her captors, or will she break under the pressure?

This is a story I made for a friend I made on the MLPforums. She read my fanfic so I read hers in return. Her character Harmony Spark seemed like a Pinkie Pie at first in personality, but when a threat loomed she suddenly shifted gears to dead serious protective authoritative mode. It really caught my attention and made me fall in love with the character. It inspired me to write a short story about her. You can check out what she has so far here if you're interested after reading my fic. /story/177637/the-shadow-and-the-spark
