Nightmares and Dreamscapes

Alone...

She sighed as she visually swept the area all around her. Nothing but grey rock and dust... again. She hesitated and turned to he right, seeing exactly what she had expected. A small blue and green ball, far in the distance yet right out of her grasp. Its vibrant colors taunting her in contrast against the moons dark and melancholic atmosphere.

She knew what was coming next...

"Awww, look who it is. The sad lonely princess all alone on a big, grey ROCK."

The hissing, sour voice gave her pause. But only for a second.

"What do you want?" She insisted, making it he own personal mission not too look at the owner of the voice.

"Acknowledge me, it's because of you I even exist..."

"No..."

"Cooome on..." The voice purred. This did nothing but effectively send shivers up her spine.

"I said no." she declared.

"Lulu please." This time it was not the voice filled with pure malice but a lovely mother-like one. Only one pony gave off such a motherly vibe. And despite doing this a hundred times before, despite every fiber of her being screaming against it she turned around with hope-filled eyes.

Only to be met with a strange and uninviting forest.

Massive trees festered with wood rot and insects loomed over her. Glowing eyes watched her from bushes, hungrily awaiting their next meal. The ground was damp, so damp in fact that she nearly sunk into the ground. Overhead hung the moon. Shaped like a large silvery sphere that bathed the forest in a light that seemed a little less than inviting.

She looked down at her hooves, which were now no bigger than a filly's. This had happened before as well...

And she knew what to do.

She moved forward, ignoring the hungry eyes of the creatures and the sense of impending doom. Anything to get this over with. When this had happened the first time and she hadn't moved. Well what happened was alot worse than what happened next.

As she trotted in silence a rustling in the bushes became apparent. Before this would have alerted her, but she didn't even bother too acknowledge it. She opted to trot forward in a stoic silence.

She stopped exactly under two of the nightmareish trees. They twisted around one another, as if doing some sort of natural dance. But it didn't come off as enticing or soothing in any way.

The rustling stopped...

She continued to stare forward...

There was no sound, not even crickets chirping...

A small patter started as raindrops began to fall from the sky. Within  seconds it turned into a roar, as the light drizzle soon turned into a downpour. Still even then the overpowering rain couldn't stop this...

THUNK!

Something landed behind her.... If the massive shadow cast over her was any testament to its size than she hated the idea of facing it....

"Poor little lulu all alone...." a taunting voice echoed.

"Shutup...."

"Maybe the little freak should just give up. Drop down and accept it all."

"SHUT UP!!!"

Luna turned around to face the voice but was greeted by a rush of darkness. Before she could blink she was in pitch blackness, surrounded by nothing and all alone again....

"All alone again....." Luna whimpered now a fully grown mare.

She plopped down as wisps of darkness reached out for her. Dancing with a soft hiss around her.

"I don't want to be alone again..."

"You don't have to be. We'll always be together you and I, and we'll show those ponies true terror...."

The wisps rushed forward and engulfed Luna. They swirled around and around her, lifting her slowly into the air. Screams of angst and despair echoed throughout the darkness, slowly but surely turning into mad cackling.

"Yessss! YES! WE'LL NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN!"
