The Accident

"Princess Luna!!! W-Wait!!!!! Twilight Sparkle screamed as Princess Luna was about to fall off a cliff.

I did'nt know what to do. My legs were shaking, and the brake of the car was broken off from my struggle to open it. "I was going to die" was what i thought after the brake broken off. The tires were turning at about eighty miles per hour. I then placed my hooves on my eyes to try to calm me down and think of a way to get out of this.

I COULDN'T THINK OF AN IDEA TO SAVE MYSELF

I uncovered my eyes, and turned my whole body,trying to turn the car around. That didn't help at all, i was still going straight off onto the distance, towards the edge of the cliff. I started feeling weak, as my soul was ripping out of my body. "You have to hold on Luna." I thought, but i couldnt grab hold of myself. I guess this was it for me, this was the way a royal like me was bound to die. A gruesome death with a feeling of spikes and needles, stabbing through my body. As i was about to tumble off the cliff, the car hauled to a stop. I felt myself thrust up, and my body hit the neck of the car, my head hitting the glass car window. It bursting to pieces, i blacked out, thinking i have died.

I know you were trying to help...but...

Three hours earlier in the day, Me, Twilight, and Celestia were spending some "royal alone time" together. It was spontaneous, no ponies around to bother us, no evil spreading around Equestria. It was just a beautiful, sunny day in the Spring. I didnt know it would turn to Fall so soon. Anyways, Me, Twilight, and Celestia were having a picnic at a secret meadow that me and Celestia found when we were children.

"How do you like it?" Asked Twilight, as she stuffed a piece of cake in her mouth. "Its the first time i've made cake in a long time, i hope its delicious."

"Its splendid Twilight Sparkle." My sister, Celestia, replied to her. "Such a beautiful day for a picnic."

"Yes...Dear sister." i replied back, i didn't really have a taste for the cake, because it was alittle bland. It was'nt good to lie, but I didn't want to hurt anyones feelings, especially on a day like this.

"Thank you!" Twilight Said with a smooth singly tone in her voice. She was obviously joyous that everyone liked the cake she had made.

"Now, i really think you should try this recipe i've made Twilight." Celestia said, pulling a beautiful array of tea sandwiches out of her saddle bag.

"Wow!!! You've made so many!" I said, in astonishment my sister had time to do this.

"Yes, i did it while you were sleeping sister, so we could have time to get ready to get packed." Celestia said in a stern kind of voice, acting abit like she thought i've known she did this.

"Anyway~ Lets dig in!" Twilight cried.

    Afterwards, Twilight got a better idea.

"Yes, that would be fun!" I cried, from the playful idea twilight granted us.

"But sister, there's way to many-"

"Yeah, I know, but still, doesn't it sound fun Celestia?" I interrupted my sister.

"Well, yes, b-but-"

"OK THEN! ITS SETTLED!" I yelled through the whole meadow. I dragged Celestia and followed Twilight Sparkle.

"Were here ladies!" Twilight bellowed, abit in anger of Celestia complaining the whole time. It was a very colorful carnival, and full of ponies, to Celestia's dismay. And ironically, the carnival was close to a dense cliff.

"Now, lets have some fun! What game should we do first?" Twilight questioned us both.

"Let's go on a rollercoaster!" I replied.

"LUNA, those rollercoasters aren't even tested. They're dangerous." Celestia warned us.

"Oh come on, Celestia, where is your sense of fun? Wheres your inner child?" I teased.

"Not here. Im leaving. Goodbye Twilight. Goodbye Luna." Celestia stared at us, then left stomping away.

"Whats wrong with her?" Twilight asked me.

"I dont know. Lets just go onto the ride!" I replied happily.

"OK THEN!" Twilight smiled and ran to the line of the rollercoaster. After an about hour of waiting, i was finally able to go on the ride. Twilight wasn't because the rollercoaster was full of ponies.

"Ready....Set....off...you go." The admittance man made the rollercoaster shoot off, but suddenly, when the rollercoaster was ontop of a hill, it stopped. The speaker outside told us that the ride was cancelled, and got most of the ponies down, but when they were about to pull me out of the ride, the cart tilted, and shot off. I quickly strapped myself in again, it was going alot faster then it did, and i was terrified. With the wind blowing against my whole body, the strap of the rollercoaster, tore, and flew out of the cart. I could barely keep my self in any longer, and, a let go. I was in the air, looking at the ground, my heart about feel out of me. I felt nauseous, and i wanted to throw up from the height of in the air I was, my wings wouldn't move either. So i was just shooting out of the air, and suddenly a felt the ground, it was as hard as concrete, but when i looked to see if i was ok, i wasn't on the ground, i was ontop of a car.

I couldn't just hold on for life, because the car swerved and was heading to the direction towards the cliff. I had to control it, and when i made my way through the side window of the car, my heart sank. The stallion driving, died from the pressure of my fall, he was head, his head busted. I felt a familiar yet disgusting tatse in my mouth, i threw up. Then, it just looked worse, the blood and the throw up mixed together, just sickened me more, but i held my guts in, as if i was goung to throw those up next. I grabbed the brake to stop the car, but from my nervousness and panicking, it broke right off. I had nothing to do to save myself, and thats when it all changed my life, and everything changed to the death color of BLACK.

Clinging to a Thread

I woke up in the hospital, Celestia, Twilight, and Nurse Redheart next to the bed. I had a thick sturdy bandage on, and i didn't ask what happened, i've had enough blood for the day.

"I'm so sorry Luna! I-i should have stayed with you! I-if i did...This wouldn't have happened!" Celestia said, her eyes full of tears and panic.

"There was nothing you could have done Princess, this would have happened even if you were with Princess Luna at the time" Nurse Redheart said to Celestia in a soft voice, to help her calm down.

"L-Luna....I-it was m-my fault..." Twilight said sobbing.

"N-no..." I replied to Twilight with a gloomy, weak voice.

"Now, we are going to have to keep your sister here for a few days for tests." Nurse Redheart said.

"T-thank you...Don't let her die on us." Celestia replied, wiping her eyes with her hoof.

"We'll do our best." Nurse Redheart replied to Celestia, in a calm voice. Twilight and Celestia stayed for awhile after that, but hen they had to leave because, well, they're princesses and they need to do their duty. I layed in the hospital bed, thinking on what happened to me, which i couldn't remember anything for now. It was all just a black memory, like it didn't happen, but, i know it did. The tests on me were useless. All they did was check the wound on my head, on seeing if any of my limbs were broken,  or why I was paralyzed. It all never seemed right. Nothing seemed right, nothing at all. As it was only a dream that i have recently woke up in, only that it toke a toll on me. I layed there. And layed, and layed, and layed. Nothing, nothing happened. Nothing happened until the night arose and decided to take all the pain away. After a few minutes, being calmed from the mist of the nightime, i finally feel asleep, finally, no more pain, like that i just flew up to heaven. I felt nothing, until, I had a horrible dream.

"Hey~ Hey~ Hey Luna~ Whatca doing Luna?...Why are you looking at me with that face again? I told you, i could help you. Just remember I told you that-AND TELL NO PONY ELSE! Kay darling~?...Thanks." A pony of just a black silhouette said. I didn't get what he was saying, be he was quite ominous, and he was just a colt. He seemed like a very nice colt with the innocent feel of a child. No, that "child" was completely the opposite of "innocent". Devilish, evil, brutal. Thats what that child was. The colt laughed playfully, but menacingly. He told me that if i don't listen to him, he'll take me "spider string" away. I don't know what it was, but from the serious tone in the colts voice, it was important.

"Alright Darling~ now here's the knife. Now, go kill her." He said back.

"Wait...Kill who? And K-kill?!?! Wh-what do you mean?" I asked him in a timid voice.

"Your Sister, Duh. It's the only way your spider string with stay intact," he replied. And then, without any feeling

I was at the castle troting to Celestia's room. I had no control, and I had that sharp knife in my hand.

"Am i really going to kill my sister? N-no! I could'nt! I CAN'T KILL MY SISTER!!!!" I screamed through the whole palace.

BUT NOPONY CAME

I woke up, and it was a shiny beautiful day again, and i was still in the hospital. What I also felt was feeling, i could move again. I got out of the bed and stood up on my hooves. My legs were still shaking from the incident that happened yesterday. But i decided to get up off my flank anyway and walk around the hospital. Nurse Redheart saw me walking out of the room and suddenly grabbed my waist.

"Wait! You can't go! We still have to do some tests!" She urgently said to me.

"No!!! I have to see my subjects-" And before i could say anything else, two stallions in white coats dragged me into the room and strained me to the bed.

"W-What is going on!?!?" I demanded, but i gotten no answer. Just an echo in my ear that was saying, "BUT NOPONY CAME! BUT NOPONY CAME! BUT NOPONY CAME!. I was sick from it, and i had such an urge, so I punched one of the stallions in the white coats, but, they grabbed my hoof, and pushed it back to the bed. Then the other grabbed a needle full of purple substance, and was about to drug me with it. But before he could do anything, I felt a strange feeling. A strange feeling everypony should feel. Alittle bit...To much happiness. I smiled creepily to the stallions and broke one of there hoofs, making sure the needle would drop to the floor. Oh, i felt soooo happy. I grabbed the needle harshly, and stabbed Nurse RedHeart in her waist.She screamed in pain, watching her own blood drip over her little white skin, and down to her cutie mark, matching the color of red as her medical symbol. The two white coats grabbed me again, and before i could know it, they injected a yellow substance in me. And yet again

I was seeing the multiple shades of black.

What Have I Done?

I woke up, in a tiny boxed white room. The walls were full of paddling and the carpet was matching. I guess so nopony could ever get hurt in here. I looked to see me body, which had chains and a straight jacket restraining me to the side of the room. I also had a muzzle on me that had a weird yellow smiley face on it. Jeez, I never thought that Nurse Redheart did this, throw ponies in the nuthouse. She's probably calling my sister saying that im batcrap crazy.

"I really hope that one of her legs gets amputated." I thought. With that rough muzzle on it felt like there was chains holding my mouth shut, or ultra sticky ducktape at least. Suddenly, i heard footsteps coming to the door, they were loud, as if a military was stomping in. Everytime the steps got closer, the stomps got louder. Did didn't take long before i heard the doorknob quivering harshly to open.

"They're going to murder me" I thought deep. That they would come in with a gun and just shoot me about fifty rounds and it'l be over. Until, the door was kicked down, and there just layed a colt.

"Hello Darling~ that's a nice outfit for you by the way." The colt said.

"Who exactly are you?" I asked him in a stern voice, with such an angry yet scared face. But then my anguish stirred down, that colt, was the one in my dream. That colt, was the one that controlled me into murdering Celestia. The colt then sighed in dismay.

"Why do you keep asking me this Luna? Couldn't you just remember with that ditzy but quick witted brain of yours?" He said.

"Are you calling me stupid?" I asked him, my wrath came back.

"Just don't be like that. And I'm being serious today, you need to realize that your spider threads tearing apart as we speak." The colt said again about the spider thread.

"What's a spider thread? And why do you keep using that word?" I bellowed.

"I'll tell you in a second. A security guards coming, could you stay quiet for me?" The colt asked me in curiosity, but playfully.

"Yeah." I answered him, tired of listening to him, he was just a child, hes telling me jokes. Then a thought rose to my head, why is that child here? He was in my dream, and how could be be in this room with me? Is he my imagination, because im going insane? No, that couldn't be it, but wait, how could just a colt break down a one thousand pound steel door? Then, another one of those "white coat" stallions came in the room, and fortunately, the door wasn't broken.

"Now Princess Luna, please stay calm, I know your in a weird environment right now, could you just do me a favor?" The white coat stallion asked, also, taking off that hard as rock muzzle.

"What is it?" I asked him in a serious voice, also rubbing where the muzzle was.

"Could I know why you did those things?" He asked calmly.

" I don't know." I replied. He then wrote something on a clipboard.

"What? Are you writing what I exactly say to you?" I asked him, starting to boil up inside.

"No." Was all he replied. I knew he was lying, I could see them, cameras, secret mirrors, they were watching me. He lied to me, the colt was surprisingly telling the truth after all. I was going insane, I know know what he means by the spider string, spider thread, they were both just the same thing. Everything was that same, if you know it and experience it over and over. I think that it would actually be good to go insane once or twice.~

"Are you ok, Princess Luna" he asked with a shaking voice. He was absolutely horrified.

"Yes...A-ok....Im fine. Because i choose my decision." I said back to him creepily.

"W-whats that?" He asked me, horror in his voice.

"To go insane. I'll like it like that." I gave him a wink, and the straight jacket started ripping, it must have been very old.

"WHAT?" he screamed, I really like my victims screaming. All i could hear was laughing, my laughing. It was such a beautiful noise. Then, with alittle silence, you could here that old dirty straight jacket ripping in half. The white coated stallion dashed to the door, turning the knob so harshly and nervously to open it it broke off. It broke off just like the brake to that car did. I ran to that stallion, and gave him what he deserved, locking the door. Now, i thought that ponies in white coats watching would rush in...But they never did. Wait, did I really just kill him? Everything turned to a stop, all that I thought was just imaginary. I just killed a person because I was mad. I wasn't insane, I was just full of anger. I started to cry screaming through the whole room,

"WHAT HAVE I DONE???". I believed something from my imagination, and because of that, I got a more hated, most regretful outcome. I cried harder, just staring blankly at his body I've just killed, i tried to revive him, but I knew deep inside that he was already gone.

"What's wrong dear?" The colt asked me.

"You." I replied.

"Huh? What do you-"

"YOUR NOT REAL! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! I KILLED A POOR INNOCENT STALLION BECAUSE OF YOU. HOW COULD YOU HAVE MADE ME DO THIS?" I screamed at the colt until was throat was sore and my voice was about to give out. I was scared, covered in blood, and depressed of what i've just done, this would haunt me forever, and I was totally, going to hell. The colt blank stared at me, and laughed like a maniac that was just released from an asylum. Which, just somehow related to me. I decided to go and punch him, punch him so hard that the pain I was feeling, he'd have. I punched him, but the colt only caught my hoof, to my amazement.

"Hah hah! Luna! Your such an idiot, but, you toke my breathe away, so i'll tell you my name, it's Sue, nice to meet you again, Princess Luna." He said with a childish but diabolical smile.

How to Kill a Pony

"Just go away!" I demanded, I was on the verge of crying again, I just felt that was heart was a black hole.

"No! I have to explain to you!" Sue yelled.

"I ALREADY KNOW!" I said, and used my magic to throw Sue against the wall. Sue hit the wall, but the padding on it saved him from any damage, but it did hurt him. Sue rubbed his head and glared at me.

"You'll go any minute. And when you do, i'm not helping you." He said, then dissapeared.

"Thank Celestia, that the boy left" I said to myself, then, I thought of Celestia.

"My...What am I going to tell her!?!?! Hey Celestia, I JUST KILLED A STALLION AND I MAY BE INSANE." I said to myself again, which i decied to stop talking because my eyes were full of tears and if I talked more to myself i'll sound more like a maniac. I couldn't think of what to do, I had such a block in my mind, no ideas came through it. Then, it hit me, maybe I was going insane, but the "spider thread" didnt break yet!

"Yeah, that was it" I thought. But then I also had a conflit to respond to. If I am going insane, I can't just go home to Celestia

Celestia! And if I did go back to see her, i would maybe kill her! And the sun wouldn't rise ever again!...

                                        "Wait a second, isn't that what I wanted in the first place? Isn't that why I was banished?"

Yes, it was, I never liked my sisters daylight, and then, if I killed her, then all the ponies would play in my nighttime! I smiled, then I laughed, and laughed, and laughed even worse. My "spider thread" broke, for real, and i was very happy about it. The "broken spider thread" of mine just would make life in Equestria better for all of us! All of the ponies, all of the animals, it would be better for me. I also knew that my sister would have to bail me out of this friendly jolly asylum in the hospital anyway. She would take care of me, she would try to make me better. She wouldn't be successful, I would murder her while she was sleeping, a raw and cold death. And finally, I would be the main princess of Equestria. And everyone will play with me in the nighttime. All I would have to do, was wait.
