The Demon Inside

"Maybe you should see her for yourself…" Spike said tucking me in.

"Well where would I find her?" I asked getting up and messing up the neatly tucked blankets.

"Maybe you could ask,"

"Well maybe they won't tell me!"

"Your a princess." He said pointing a stern claw at me.

I grunted "Well yeah but they won't allow me to see her it's 'too dangerous.'" I said groaning and collapsing on my bed again.

"Well maybe some pony found out something." Rainbow Dash said trotting coolly in. "Okay listen to this, I over heard the Princesses talking and they said something about this Moon Glare kid. They said something like. 'Is MoonGlares room guarded?' Something like that, anyway besides that they said they would have you see her soon."

"And that is now." Came the voice of the Princess Celestia as she walked cooly in with Luna just at her side who was eyeing Rainbow Dash with amusement.

"Come Twilight Sparkle we must go soon, it might be too dangerous if you go any later." Luna said breaking her gaze from Rainbow Dash to look at me.

I nodded and got out of bed. I was surprisingly calm as we trotted down many winding corridors up a flight of stairs and I could have sworn we passed a dungeon on the way, we finally came to a door lined with steel.

Weird.

Luna made a key using her magical horn and inserted it into the lock turning it until it made a sharp click. She used her head to open the door and called quietly into the dark room.

"Moon Glare. Come here. There is someone who would like to meet you."

A pair of eyes sparkled in the dim light. I heard the unmistakable trot of hooves on wood and finally a pony who I had missed but not known for so long came into the light.

Seeing her made my heart beat hard and fast in my chest. My head spun with excitement. Her skin was duller and more dark then my rather light purple skin, her eyes were shaped much differentially, but they were the exact same shade as my own. Her mane was frizzy much unlike my neatly combed dark purple hair, it was a cool bluish grey and had stripes of black running through it. Much unlike mine, her flank had a moon on it much like Luna's but it was thinner and her area around the cutie mark was a large black marking, it looked cracked and slightly demon like, which reminded me of her terrible fate.

She must have realized that I was staring at her because she said  "Hi…er… I'm Moon Glare who are you?" She asked eyeing my wings with interest. Her own wings had a line of black feathers underneath her shiny dark purple ones.

"This Moon Glare, is your sister… Twilight Sparkle."

Her eyes went wider at Luna's words. "I've… I have never imagined I would see you in real life!"  My heart slowed at her words and loosened it's hard thumping that was beginning to hurt my chest.

"I didn't even knew I had a twin sister." I said smiling and staring into her eyes that twinkled brightly besides the fading light. "Until now of course."

"Well of course you didn't. The Princess forbade it. I understand why she did." She said adding the last part hastily when a shocked look crossed my face. "I'm not angry with them. If you knew you might seek me out and, well something bad might happen." She looked down and began nervously kneading the ground with her hooves when she said the last part.

"I'm just glad we are together at last." I said pressing her  side gently with my own. I trotted back and saw my sister smiling her eyes twinkling with newly formed tears.

"What's all the talking about?" Asked a strangely familiar voice said. And shockingly a baby dragon walked out. It looked a LOT like Spike yet it was a girl and her scales were different shades of grey instead of the purple and green scales Spike had.

"Twilight… why is there a girl version of me?" Spike whispered in my ear.

"This is Grey Scale. She helps me around with tasks." Moon Glare said smiling and making the tears disappear

"And may I present Spike, my helper." I said smiling as Spike hopped off my back and walked up to Grey Scale.

Oh, it was so good to now see my long lost sister. It's like filling in a pit that I didn't know was there.

"Moon Glare we must go and raise the moon." Luna said looking at Moon Glare with a sparkle of proudness in her eyes. My sister nodded and started trotting off with Luna. Grey Scale rubbed her eyes with a light grey claw

"Well… I'm going to go back to bed."

I nodded and started back to my own room. When we arrived I fell on my bed and laid there for awhile. She was nothing like I imagined when it came to sight but she was perfect anyway. I got up and spotted the lump of light purple that was Spike fast asleep in his bed.

"Spike! We are going to need to do some list making!" I reported getting up and starting to pace back and forth.

"Ug… I should've known you would say that…."  groaned the purple dragon getting up slowly and getting a clip board and pencil from a nearby desk.

"First we will have to speak with Moon Glare,"

Silence followed with nothing but the scratch of the pencil on paper and the mutter of Spike reciting the words slowly under his breath.

"Second we will do some research, after speaking with her we will surely have something to look up."

I truly hated not knowing the topic of research first hand, when we make the list, but right now was one of those times when I don't know.

"What should be first is us going to sleep." Spike growled quietly.

I myself was stifling a yawn, he was right we should be going to sleep.

"Well okay little baby dragon." I teased nuzzling the tip of my muzzle into his soft purple scales. He gave a friendly shove and I walked off to my bed, I lay half asleep while tucking myself in, rearranging the covers to stop the drafts of cold air from hitting my coat.

While I settled my head on the pink cloud of pillow I looked lovingly over at Spike who had fallen into a heavy pit of snores. I watched with half closed eyes as his scaly stomach rose and fell. And soon enough his steady breaths dragged me into the domain of Princess Luna.
