Princesses of the Night

Midnight's P.O.V

I enter a darkened palace, and I watch as Nightmare Moon imprisons my lavender-colored mother in the dungeon.  Is this what Nightmare Moon wants, to imprison my mothers? I wish I could stop her, but I am powerless because of evil corrupting me........  I sigh as I look out the huge window next to the abandoned throne.

I have left Earth because ponies are more afraid of me than ever.  "A land of isolation, and it looks like......... I'm forever alone," I sang.

My emotions rage with conflict as I think about my actions.  Normally, I try to act nice and to keep my powers in, but they keep trying to surface because of the evil curse from Nightmare Moon..........

"There is not a hoofprint to be seen on the moon.......... The darkness surrounds the moon as I contemplate my actions......... My emotions are raging like the darkness, and I couldn't keep them in........ Heaven knows why.......... It's so dark now, especially on Earth because of my powers........ Don't let them in, don't let them see....... Conceal don't feel....... Be the good mare that you always have to be, and don't let them know...... Well, now they know!" I sang.

I think about the times when the ponies back away each time they see me.  It's just a curse, but they don't really understand the point of curses.  I sigh as I look at the Earth.  It will forever be dark until my sisters do something- they could imprison me, or worse.........

"Let it go, let it go! Can't hold it in anymore! Let it go, let it go! Show them what's your power's for........ The dark is mine......... And it's here to stay...... Let darkness rage on! The night never bothers me anyways! It's funny how the distance makes things seem small, and my fears that once control me can't get to me anymore! No rights, no wrongs, no rules for me! I'm free! Let it go, let it go! I'm one with outer space! Let it go, let it go!" I added in.

I feel free, after years of keeping the powers in for long and having to always being in the shadow of my sisters.  "It's darkness you will face....... Here I stand, and here I stay! Let darkness rage on!" I sang.

Nightmare Moon approaches me, and places her horn on my flank.  "You will be evil," She whispered, "You're getting closer."

"My powers flow into the nightmares of every soul! I'm starting to feel like the bad mare in the emptiness of night! The darkness covers over, everypony screams! No, you don't want me back! I'm not evil, but I seem like it..........  Let it go, let it go! I'm the princess of night......" I sang as I levitate the helmet onto my head.

"Never turn to the good side. You truly belong to the darkness," Nightmare Moon concluded.

I nod in response. If they couldn't accept me, then I shall be feared right now! "Let it go, let it go! I'll be causing all the fright! Fear me now! No more light of day! Let darkness rage on......... The night never bothers me anyways," I finished.

Nightmare's magic envelops me as I feel myself transforming.  I close my eyes for a second, and as I open them, She levitates a mirror in front of me.  Now, I am the pony from that vision.  "Follow me, Midnight. You are no longer Midnight Darkness.   You are Nightmare Darkness!" She said.

She leads me into the dungeon, and I notice my mothers in separate cells.  "Midnight! Why would you let it take over?" My lavender colored mother asked.

"Twilight, it is not wise to ask her that question. That signals the fact that you may not understand her. I could understand her more. By the way, Midnight........ We shall not fight you. Your sisters will save you," My lunar mother said.

"Are you saying that you want to suffer my wrath? Gladly you will," I remarked.

I smirk at them, and they wince in response.  "You foolish princess of the night..... We meet again," Nightmare Moon told my lunar mother.

"Why did you curse her?!" My lunar mother demanded.

"Fools......... You thought that I am defeated, but you are wrong! Your daughter shall be mine......... Forever!"

Nightmare Moon shoots dark magic at my lunar mother, and she transforms to stone as a result.  "The same will happen to you, Twilight......." She told my lavender colored mother.

I shoot a dark beam at my unaffected mother, and now she is turned to stone.  I walk back to the throne room to sit upon the dark throne chair.  Nightmare Moon sits next to me, and I simply stare into the distance.  "Let the past go," She whispered, "You are never going back to the good side."

"I know," I replied, "But villain life seems boring."

"Hey, even villains have fun."

"What type of fun?"

"I'll show you- causing nightmares!"  She stands up with an over-confident air about her.

"I don't want to go back. Remember what happened?"

"You don't need to show any remorse about your villainy!" She sounds as if she has boomed a bit, "Here, you'll see. You simply get into somepony's dream using dreamwalking techniques. And then you cause a nightmare!"

"I have a question- is there a spell for eternal sleep?"

"Of course. You place it on the ones that have nightmares."

"Looks like the fun will be doubled."

"It will be, Darkness."

"Ain't I supposed to be Nightmare Darkness?"

"I'm just nicknaming you so that we won't confuse ourselves."

We start dreamwalking using our magic.  After three hours of entering many dreams and causing nightmares, we decide to take a small break.  "Ha ha, that was funny when we gave that one pony a nightmare and he was like 'those zombies are gonna eat my skin.' He's such a child," Nightmare Moon said.

I must admit, I have to agree with her- or else.  The dark side is promising- the good side is just full of ponies that could outcast you.  "Do we ever get sleep?" I asked.

"Not really. Nightmares never need sleep," She replied.

"Thanks for letting me know."

"You're not supposed to be kind!"

"Okay, then."

"You're as kind as Luna sometimes- I find that really annoying."

I shut my mouth as to not speak any more words and comments about the situation.
