When The Darkness Finds You

Little Nightshade was tired of asking the older foals; Where did I come from??? How did I get here?????

The other foals asked that question once.. They stopped after they didn't get answers.. The one person who has answers, Mother, they were to afraid to ask her. She was very mysterious. Barely anypony saw her and the ones who have seen her in person.... Well they have been caught by Mistress Celestia's troops. Mother is usually with all the children in dreams. Little Nightshade has seen her many times in dreams. Mother always says " Together we are all lost on the moon". Everypony has heard her say that in dreams. It is 'her saying.'

Anyways, Nightshade was eventually put up with no answers. She needed them. For she felt that Mother's words were false. Nightshade was alone on the moon. One night while looking at her Mother's beautiful night she saw a strange figure wisp past her cavern door. It looked as a another pegasus but, there was an aura surrounding it's top half. It was gold. She thought it had to be an alicorn of Mother's type.

"Mother!" Nightshade proclaimed as her eyes got wide and she shot into the air and out her window.

" Mother wait!!!" She shouted after the figure. The figure halted and turned. Nightshade trembled in horror and realization. She know knew why Mother always said to hide in caves when a big creature flew by. The figure was not Mother,no, it was none other than Mistress Celestia herself.

" Child!? Who are you....calling..." Celestia paused and looked at me in horror before realizing that I was of her sister's.

"Young filly???" She said to me softly but in a tone of doubt.

" Y  Yes  M  Mistress C...C....." She stopped to being shoved back by a different figure.

" Sister!!! What business does thou hath here???? This is my realm and you better leave before I kicketh thou royal flank!!!" It was Mother. She stood in front of Nightshade with her wings spread out blocking her view of Celestia.

"Luna, who is this young filly?????!!" Celestia said swooping to the sky and grabbing the terrified filly from behind.

"Mother!!!" Nightshade shouted. She had a tear running down her face. The mare holding her looked into her eyes.

" Young filly... You have no idea where you belong, do you??" With that Nightshade spread her wings trying to fly from the Mistress' grasp. She only held her tighter. Tears streaming down her face. " Do you!?" Nightshade stopped her squirming.

" No.. That's why I  flew after you. I thought you were Mother and I was going to ask you." Mother grabbed the filly in her aura.

" Let go of my daughter sister."  Luna said with determination. Celestia gasped and let go of Nightshade. Celestia was forming a dark look on her face.

" Where are the other fillies Luna." She asked with no emotion She was staring at Nightshade. " Where are they" She asked when Mother didn't answer.

" Sister.. Leave my kingdom at once. These are MY children of MY night and you can not take them." Mother said with power. She looked Nightshade then put the filly on her back. She whispered something in Celestia's ears and whatever it was made Celestia gasp in horror  "  For now you shall leave.. AT ONCE!" The last part she yelled so loud it shook through Nightshade's ears for a minute. Celestia looked back and forth between Mother and Nightshade. After a moment she nodded and left.

Mother looked at Nightshade and hugged her very tightly and warmly.

" Little filly... You could have gotten taken away! Now Go back to your room."Nightshade shook her head and flew out of her mother's arms.

" Mother! I had a question and I want an answer!!!" Nightshade said making her  mother's eyes go wide. Finally Mother gave in and took the filly in her arms. She flew through the clouds leaving a trail of sparkly stars in view. They landed on a cloud. It was a soft cloud of grey.

Mother sat the filly on the cloud and looked at her warmly."

" Now I am gonna see you a song. Hopefully this will answer your question."
