The Tears I Cry

Luna stood up, her hooves planted firmly on the cold moon.

"Where...W-where am I?" Luna whispered, looking around. The moon was bright, and some dark spots are seen. Luna shivered at the feeling of the coldness and loneliness.

"The moon!" Nightmare Moon cackled darkly.

"Who...are you?" Luna asked, turning around to find Nightmare Moon staring at her with victory.

"Nightmare Moon, of course! Honestly, child, you do not know what happened?" Nightmare Moon gave a dark laugh, taking a step forward.

Suddenly, it hit her. How she tried to capture the kingdom and Equestria!

"She banished you to the moon!" Nightmare continued, smirking.

"Wha-? No no no," Luna protested, her hooves trembling with fear beneath her. "You are wrong! She...She would never do such a thing! Please tell me this is a joke!"

"Speak for yourself, child," Nightmare Moon sneered, "You know it's happening."

"No it's not!" Luna yelled, her hooves carrying her away from Nightmare Moon. She stared helplessly at her home, Earth. Equestria. Canterlot. "Tia! Please! Tell me you're making a joke! If it's a dream, wake me up!"

Nightmare Moon snorted, "Tia won't wake you up. It's not a dream either. She hates you."

"No, she doesn't!" Luna cried as she stomped the ground in anger. "This is not true! Please, Tia, I'm sorry! If I did anything wrong, please, I'm really sorry!"

"Nothing can bring you back, child," Nightmare Moon said mockingly, "You're not Luna anymore. You're Nightmare Moon!"

Luna gasped at the color she was changing in. Her coat was slowly changing. Slower than a tortoise.

"No, no no," Luna whispered frantically. "NO!"

Nightmare Moon's dark chuckle made her shiver as she engulfed her with darkness.

"Please! WAKE ME UP!" Luna pleaded, dropping to her knees in a desperate way.

Luna collapsed on the cold surface of the moon and wept. "No, Tia, don't do this to me!"

Her eyes watered as she thought of how Celestia do this to her. She sniffed, crying out for help.

"How could I turn into Nightmare Moon?" Luna desperately asked to herself. "It's all my fault...I shouldn't have let my jealousy control me..."

Luna created an art Celestia out of the dust of the moon. "I...I missed you, Tia..."

Luna formed a blue helmet with nothing but her hooves. "I...how?"

"My magic gave you the ability to do anything," Nightmare Moon's voice rang in her head.

She transformed into Nightmare Moon with a flash of light. "No....no! Don't do this to me, please!"

Luna made a moon castle as she stomp on the ground hard with her two forelegs.

"Wait...I didn't do anything!"

"I am the one controlling you, fool!"

Luna's body was completely dark and covered with a royal plate. "No...ugh, noooo!"

The moon castle grew higher and higher until it was completely done. Luna trotted across the gates in amazement. The walls have been decorated by smooth surfaces of the moon, and the ceiling was made out of stars. Her hooves stopped as she saw a throne, waiting for her to sit on.

"I...I can't do this!" She mumbled.

"But this is what you wanted, right?"

"I-I know! B-but this doesn't belong to me," she lowered her head down in shame.

"But you also worked so hard to be over Celestia, darling! Come, sit and rule the throne. I'll be by your side."

Luna stared at it helplessly before slowly reaching out to her throne. She gave out a gasp as the ground trembled below her. And before her eyes was servants made out of the dirt of the moon. They bowed to her as she sat there in amazement.

"This is your dream, Luna."

Luna closed her eyes in defeat. Nightmare Moon immediately captured her glorious mind as Luna's eyes turned bloodshot.

Luna/Nightmare Moon gave out a dark chuckle as she destroyed her art of Celestia, "And it's all your fault, Celestia!"
