Rogue Life

     He scratched his head as he went up to his room. He sighed as each step passed. His head hurt from the Nightmare who was trying to convince him to go back to being his past self, a monster, a demon.

    Lunar finally reached his door at the top of the staircase. His knees ached after he walked into the room. Lunar walked to a desk which had a large mirror. His body felt numb even though he had put tiny bits of effort into climbing the stairs.

    "I am not becoming a monster," he said hastily.

Who said I was a monster? Nightmare Moon asked smoothly.

     "Let me think. How about every pony who said that I was a monster, behind my back," Lunar snapped.

Luna, Luna, Luna. They only said that because you choose to become your weak little self again and that meant that they could talk about you the way they wanted. If you stayed as me, you could know that every pony who talked about you that way, would be sent to the gallows.

    "WELL I DON'T WANT TO SEND PONIES TO THE GALLOWS!!!!!" Lunar shrieked, let a bit of feminine voice out. He clutched his mouth.

Looks like your female side does!!! Nightmare Moon laughed.

    "I have been completely honest with you Nightmare. I don't want any pony sent to the gallows."

    Nightmare Moon giggled at the thought of Luna sending ponies to the gallows.

    Jack paced his room that he shared with Ross. He scratched his beard with his metal arm while his normal arm was moving around as he talked to Ross. Their room wasn't big like their Leader's and it only was really able to hold two beds with little room to walk. Jack maneuvered around the beds .

   "Why did Lunar make us get those ponies and then kick them out, minutes after we brought them inside?" Jack thought aloud.

   Ross stared up at the rocky roof that could collapse any minute and crush him. His only response was, "Who knows?"

   "MASTER DOES!!! He is the one who assigned this to us!!" Jack said.

    "He assigned you, but I was kind enough to come with you. Now that I think about it, I was going to be the only person to follow Master's orders!" Ross said back.

    "Oh well!! I am going to talk to h-" Jack was interrupted by the sound of their door flinging open. At the door was none other than Lunar himself.

    "Come with me Jack," he said sternly.

    Jack gulped as Ross smiled. "Good Luck," Rosa said as he waved a hand.

   The door was closed as Jack followed Lunar. He noticed that his Master's cape and hood was partly ripped which showed a tiny bit of blue skin if you look carefully.

   Jack followed Lunar as they went to Lunar's quarter.  Once they entered the room, Jack noticed that the window was covered up by some cloth. The same cloth as his Lunar's cape.

  "Are you ok Luna?" Jack asked. Lunar swung his head to Jack. Jack immediately grabbed his mouth once he figure out he accidentally said Lunar without the  "r" in it.

  "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Lunar roared.

   "I s-said Lunar," Jack said. His head spun around as Lunar approached him.

   "Nevermind. As my Second in Command, you need to know the truth about me. But, you must keep it a secret and not tell anyone," Lunar sighed.

  "I promise sir!" Jack said quickly, for his head was aching from trying to figure out his Master for the past week.

    Lunar growled a little and began to tear his cloths off. Jack watched in horror as Lunar ripped everything off of himself. Jack tried to stop Lunar, but his head told him not to. Once everything was off of Lunar, Jack froze. His stared at a tall, it's blue skin was actually blue fur, it was a majestic pony with wings and a horn. It's hooves had light and shiny purple hoofshoes, and on its butt was a black sploch with a crescent moon on it.

   "What are you?!" Jack yelped as he backed to the door which was left open.

    The pony slammed the door shut with its horn. It looked female, but Jack couldn't figure out what gender it was. The pony walked over to Jack and stared coldly. Its mane flowed in imaginary wind. Its wings were huge and its eyes were a lovely teal, but they weren't cat like.

   Jack tried to scream, but he was frozen mid scream. His entire body was covered on turquoise mist.

   "I am still Lunar, but my real name is Luna," the pony said. Its voice was feminine. "And I am a girl, Jack."

   Jack didn't know what to do. All he could move was his eyes which were busy darting around. His mind raced around as he tried to escape.

    "If you are still scared of my pony form, don't be. I mean you no harm," Luna said. "In fact, if I were to harm you, I would be a lot scarier than this. I'm just a pony Princess that would like some pony to want her to be their Leader and trust me." Luna's ear flatted as she lowered her head. Her legs shook until she let herself fall on to the hard ground of the room.

   Jack's heart ached. He could tell that this pony just wants to be in charge and wishes other won't fear her, even though Jack had no idea on why others would fear her. In fact, she looked kinda cute to him.

   Jack was suddenly released and he fell to the ground. He realized that Luna was on the verge of tears. Her lovely eyes stared at the ground. "Go ahead. Tell everyone I'm a pony. I don't care anymore. I just wish I could be myself without any problems."

  Jack watched his "Master" go from angry to completely sad.

  Jack looked at the watch on his wrist. 7:00 A.M. It was about time for the moon to lower and the sun to rise, but the moon was still in the sky. He stared at the cloth that covered the window. He got up from the ground and walked to the covered window. With one quick swing, he tore it off. The moon was right in the middle of the sky.

  "Luna?" Jack asked. He looked at the sad pony. Just because he was a rogue, doesn't mean he had to be mean.

  Luna lifted her eyes off of the ground and looked at Jack. "Yes?"

   "Do you know why the moon is still in the middle of the sky?" He asked her.

    Luna jumped up to her spot and ran to the window in mere seconds. Her horn glowed as the moon began to lower. Soon after the moon began to lower, the sun rose high into the sky. Jack watched Luna as she concentrated on the moon until it disappeared.

   "How did you do that?" He asked her.

   "I raise and lower the moon as my sister raises and lowers the sun," she said sadly. She walked to her bed and leaped onto it. She walked in a circle to then lay down into a ball of fur.

  "Well, I think I like a pony who raises the moon is a great leader for our team!" Jack said to her. She lifted her head to look at him.

  "Really?" She said excitedly. Jack nodded as he walked over to her. He placed his regular hand behind her ear and scratched it a little. He felt her soft fur rub against his bare hand.

   Luna smiled as her back hoof began to tap on the bed. She then pushed Jack's hand away. "If I am still going to be in charge, no scratching behind the ear!" She said.

  "Ok fine," Jack said.

   "But I wouldn't mind if you scratch behind the ear for a lttle bit longer," Luna said. Jack smiled and began to scratch behind her ear again. Her back hoof tapped again as she made the cutest face only a pony could make.

Do you really think you can escape me?
