Blood Born Different

Luna got up and started walking to her porch. She slid a glass door and walked outside. Dark got up too and stood next to Luna.

Luna looked up at her moon.

"I'm sure you have heard of the story of Nightmare Moon.." Luna said seriously.

Luna looked at Dark.

"Tell me.... What do you think of Nightmare Moon?" Luna asked.

"What do I say!?" Dark thought nervously.

"Umm..." Dark said.

Luna looked back at her moon.

"Take your time, I rather have a good answer then a rushed one," Luna said.

"Nightmare Moon wanted the night to last forever? Right?" Dark asked quickly.

"That is correct," Luna said seriously.

Dark looked down at her hoofs.

"I should say the truth... I'm tired of lying." Dark thought.

Dark looked at Luna.

"I think Nightmare Moon is just a poor soul who decided to make the wrong choice," Dark said.

Luna looked back at Dark.

"Anything else?" Luna asked.

Dark looked at the moon.

"Nope," Dark said.

Luna didn't say anything after that. She merely looked back at her moon.

"Dark..." Luna paused.

Dark looked at Luna, and Luna looked back at Dark.

"Would you like to become my student?" Luna asked.

Dark looked at Luna with surprised eyes.

But soon Dark's expression changed to a serious one.

"Before I say my answer... I have a few questions." Dark said.

Luna didn't look away from the moon. Her expression didn't change either.

"What are theses questions?" Luna asked.

Dark looked at the moon with a sad expression.

"Why...? I haven't even showed you what I could do for magic.... All I did is say a few words." Dark said sadly.

Luna looked at the moon with a serious expression.

"I see something special in you. Like no pony has ever done to me, not even my sister shines the same light I see in you."

Dark said nothing and Luna continued.

"It's true that I haven't seen your full potential of magic, but I know that your magic is strong because I know your strong," Luna said.

Dark looked at Luna with surprised, yet interested eyes. She wanted her to say more.

"Your personality is like my sister... You act like a leader... I know if the most dangerous enemy went after you.... You would stand up tall, and defend your friends. And you would defeat the enemy no matter what..."

Dark looked at the ground.

"How do you know that!? You couldn't have known that much about me! Especially just by asking a few questions about me..." Dark said surprisingly.

"Correct. The questions helped me find what you're like, but I couldn't have known you that much if I just asked some questions. I looked at other things that could help me see how you are." Luna said.

"What other things?" Dark asked, and looked up at Luna.

"Your eyes.... And how you were standing, and sitting.... And the voice you made when answering my questions." Luna said and continued.

"Your voice sounds just like my sister and me, it's serious, yet kind... Your voice didn't sound afraid, expect when you first saw me. Which any normal pony would do when they see the princess of the night for the first time..." Luna paused.

Dark knew that Luna was saying was the truth.

"The way you stood up tall when you first saw me... Any other pony would try to act normal or they would just freak out." Luna said seriously.

"What about my eyes?" Dark asked quickly.

Luna's expression didn't change. She said nothing and closed her eyes.

"Princess Luna?" Dark asked.

"I'm sorry... I really can't say... It's better if I don't tell you at all." Luna said sadly.

Dark looked confused.

"Why won't she tell me..? Could it be that I remind her of herself? Her past? Do my eyes show the same sadness as her's? Or does it have to do something with Twilight and me?" Dark thought. Her face turned sad when Twilight passed her mind.

Her mind was so full of questions, yet she felt as though she knew the answers to them.

Dark forced herself to looked at the ground.

"Well... I should get going... It's been a long day... And a long night..." Dark said, and got up.

Before Dark could turn around, Luna looked at her.

She put a hoof on Dark's shoulder before she could go back inside.

"What is your answer?" Luna asked sadly.

Dark bit her lip, she couldn't look at Luna.

"I'm sorry, I would like to see if Twilight is okay before I become your student," Dark said seriously and sadly.

After she said that, she looked up at the night princess.

Luna nodded telling Dark that she understood.

She knew Dark wouldn't be able to focus with Twilight gone. Her sister is having the same problem. And Luna wishes herself that Twilight was back to.

Dark walked back inside Luna's bedroom.

She sat down and looked at Luna's door. Soon Dark turned her head just a bit to look at Luna.

"Please forgive me... I have too much on my mind." Dark said sadly and looked back at Luna's door.

Soon Dark's horn lit up and Dark teleported back to her castle.

Luna was surprised that Dark could teleport. That spell was for advanced unicorns. And she made it look so easy. Luna knew that Dark must have practiced that spell a few times to teleported that quickly. Luna smiled. She was glad that she picked the right one for her student.

"I was right... Her does have potential... But I can't have that student right now... We have to find Twilight." Luna said.
