Dance of the midnight majestyby black unicornChaptersdance of the midnight majestymost beloved, dearly departedsleep through the sunrise cries of the lonely moondance of the midnight majestyThe moon light came pouring in to her chambers. Pausing, she put the knife down and walked over to the window sill. Her sister was sitting at the top raising the moon and stars. Big and bright the moon shone in the sky. "She's better at my job to." She slammed the window so hard that the window cracked, sending more hair line fractures everywhere across the glass, all the way to the frame. Back over to the knife she looked over to the mirror beside her. She faced it. Staring blatantly at her own reflection. "Don't do it" Her reflection seemed to say to her. "Think of everyone that loves you" "Ha everyone...loves me...please, who do you think you talking to?" "Myself" It replied "Right" Luna said sarcastic "Don't do it" "Shut up" "Don't" "SHUT UP!" Luna picked up a vase filled with roses and through it at the mirror shattering it and sending the pieces falling. "Don't do it" The hundreds of shards said. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! JUST SHUT UP!" The guard outside of her door bolted up and raced out the doors. "Princess!Princess!" "Yes?" She replied "It's Luna" Her face went from calm to panicked as she spread her wings and flew to the balcony of Luna's room. Shards of everything lay scattered on the floor. In the center was no longer the Luna she knew. most beloved, dearly departed"LUNA!" Celestia yelled through the glass. She wiggled the handle but it wouldn't budge...neither did her sister. Frantically she looked around for another way in. Then she noticed the broken window. She found a small rock to smash it with and unlocked the door from the inside. "LUNA!" She yelled once more. A face turned over one shoulder to look at her. The glowing white eye stared at her. Deep into her. Like it could see into her soul. The dark mane and skin was not of her sister. "What did you do to my sister!?" Celestia yelled at the black figure "So stupid...I believe you mean what did you do to your sister." "What do you mean?" "Are you that stupid? I thought you would notice your own sister" She stood up. "YOU MADE ME! YOU! MISS PERFECT! MISS WONDERFUL! THEY FORGOT ALL ABOUT ME. YOU FORGOT ALL ABOUT ME!" "What do you mean Luna. Please tell me!" Celestia cried to her sisters new form. "I MEAN EVERYONE LOVES YOU! AND NOW IT'S TIME. MY TIME! THE NIGHT AND YOUR NIGHTMARE WILL LAST FOREVER!" The dark pony's wings spread out almost half the width of the cambers' walls. With a gust-full thrust the figure rushed towards the sunny pony and with a thud crashed into her. "NEVER AGAIN!" The weight and power of the nightmare was strong, but the princess of light could barely over come. Sending Luna backwards to the wall near the shattered mirror. Shakingly Celestia stood up and looked at the thing across the room. A drop of blood dripping down the side of her face. Staining her pure white skin. "Don't do this sister. Please. I'm begging you." "No longer!" The dark pony once more charged and in defense Celestia picked up the first thing she could to defend herself with from the on coming attack. A squish was heard and a gasp echoed after it. Celestia opened her eyes to see the nightmare. Luna. Hanging off the end of a knife in front of her. Celestia pulled the knife out of the gushing pony that clasped onto the floor in a blood soaked heap. "Sister. SISTER! LUNA TALK TO ME!" The sobs filled the rock room drowning out the silence. "SISTER.I'M SORRY! I LOVE YOU...I love you..." The sobs continued and stained the floor. "My....time..." The twinkle of the last star was all that she saw last... THE END. sleep through the sunrise sleep through the sunrise The twinkle of the final star was all that she saw last... The stars were going down as the sky began to fill with the yellow and warmth of the sun. Luna tired from another night of nothing and no thanks walked back to her chambers with her head down and salty tears. "Sister. What's the matter?" The door slammed behind the blue princess and locked with a slightly silent click. Sobs could be heard echoing down the long hall of the upstairs platform. Celestia walked over to the door where her sister sat behind. "Sister. Please tell me. What is going on?" "Go away!" Her gaspy voice yelled through the wood."I don't want to talk to anyone right now. Just...just leave me alone" Celestia walked away obeying her sisters wishes. "Keep an eye on her" She told to one of the guards close to the door. Inside her room she walked over to her window and looked out, the burning ball of fire blinding her and evaporating her tears on the spot. "How? Why!!!" She yelled out to no one "HOW DOES SHE DO IT!? WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE HER? SHE HARMS, MINE IS PRETTIER...mine is prettier..." The ponies below prance about like there was a constant joyful melody playing through the town. She laid down on her bed with tears filling her eyes once more. "why?..." She fell asleep with a tear drop resting on the side of her face. cries of the lonely moonAwoken by the tap at her door she arose from her bed with tear stains on her cheeks. "Who is it?" She asked with still a bit of sorrow in her voice. "It's Tia" "What do you want?" Luna replied, the tone in her voice changing to anger as she shakingly got the words out. "It's time to raise the moon" "I don't want to anymore. You do it" Celestia paused for a moment before replying to her sisters statement. "What do you mean you don't want to do it?" "I just don't!" She yelled walking away from the door "Everybody loves you. You're little miss perfect. You can do everything." She repeated muttering under her breath as she continued to walk away. "I'm not going to do it Luna. It is your responsibility." "Well then I guess there will be no moon or stars then...it doesn't matter though no one is awake to see them...no one will miss them...or..." She trailed off when she spotted a knife that was used to cut a cake a few days ago. Shinny, sharp...covered in a bit of cake, but that never mattered. She walked over to the cake with the inscription 'Happy birthday Luna. We love you' on the top written in blue and decorated with moons. She looked at the cake and the words for a moment, then picked up the knife and wiped off the icing and crumbs covering it. Once more she paused. A tear filled her eye as she stared at the knife, then at the mirror behind it. "Sorry"
