Twinkle on the Moon

Chapter Two

Night Glider opened her eyes. She wasn't in Sugar Belle's studio apartment anymore.

She was in what appeared to be a family room. The room had a fireplace and a warm sofa. The only thing that drew the warmth away from the room was the fact that Night Glider was tied up. She was completely caught in a hard wooden chair in an unknown room. It was the oddest thing that had happened in her life.

"Hello."A familiar voice said.

It sounded much like the voice from the night before.

"Show yourself."Night Glider commanded as she gazed around the room.

From the shadows a pony with a sleek black coat appeared. She had a wavy purple mane with white streaks in it. Her eyes were also much like the cat like eyes Night Glider had seen in her eyes. This pony also had golden armor on with occasional diamonds on it. The mare was quite elegant and majestic compared to Night Glider with her messy bed head and tired eyes.

"Hello,Skylar. I've heard so much about you."The mare welcomed her.

"Huh?"Was Night Glider's only response.

"Oh."The mare began."Your birth name is Skylar. Some fake mother named you that. Oh! Where are my manners? I am Nightmare Rarity."

"Uhh...."

Nightmare Rarity explained,"You were born a Night Spirit. But you were taken. Your original name was Skylar but somepony named you Night Glider. It was terrible. But now we have you back."

"Wait...."

Nightmare Rarity continued,"Night Spirits are Umbreons;ponies with dark powers. Our kind is known for possessing bodies and being quite..well...tricky. I possessed Rarity,and now I look much like her with an identical personality. I also share her same desires. Although my mission failed to be the real her,I enjoy my new self."

Night Glider couldn't say anything.

"Your mom told me all about you and you being taken to that horrible town. But now your home,cousin."Nightmare Rarity exclaimed.

"Wait.....

"You must be missing me."Another voice said.

From the depths of the shadows a black mare appeared. She had a pure black coat and heavy blue armor. On the front of her chest plate was a half moon. From her neck up was a long helmet. It had spirals all around it. Then the most distinct two details about her were her eyes,cat like moons,and her starry hair filled with moons. Much like her favorite photo.

"Mom?"Night Glider mumured under her breath.

"Yes. Remember me?"The pony said.

She looked like Nightmare Moon!

"You're...you're...N-n-ightmare Moon!"Night Glider was able to pant.

"Mmhmm."Nightmare Moon nodded.

"Your e-eyes."Night Glider stammered.

"Yes."Nightmare Moon agreed."It is a distinct trait about our kind."

"Our?"She asked.

"You are one too."Nightmare Rarity chimed in.

"Me?"She didn't understand.

"Why yes. Ever felt like something was taken from your life? Ever like maybe you were taken? That's because your destiny with us."Nightmare Moon explained.

"You are home."Nightmare Rarity added to lighten the mood.

"Well it doesn't feel like home."She remarked as she looked at the ropes.

""Oops."Nightmare Rarity said as Nightmare Moon gave her a cold look.

"Let me remove those."Nightmare Rarity corrected herself as she untied the ropes that were across Night Glider.

Night Glider was now standing up as the two dark mares began to do business. Night Glider decided to explore the room. She noticed many photos of Princess Luna and Celestia. Most of them were vintage paintings of the war they went through.

"Where are we?"Night Glider asked her "mom."

"In the mountains of the Frozen North. Living in the empire is too risky so we isolate ourselves. But we have each other."Nightmare Moon kindly kissed her on the head. Odd.

Night Glider continued to explore further off the other rooms in the house. She was able to find a large is dining room with thousands of chairs. The table was longer than a normal one for sure! It also had a long red table cloth and many fancy candle sticks. It was extremely formal and looked as though it would seat twenty ponies.

She was also able to find a staircase but she didn't dare go upstairs.

"Enjoying it?"Nightmare Rarity asked Night Glider.

"Yeah."She responded.

"I bet this is all confusing,darling."Nightmare Rarity told her.

"Yeah..."She agreed.

"You'll get used to it."Nightmare Rarity presumed.

"It just feels awkward."Night Glider confessed.

"I know dearie."Nightmare Rarity explained."It all seemed so odd,but life will be better here. You'll soon get to know that our kind isn't obsessed with power. We just see things in a new light...the dark."

Night Glider looked at a large painting of  Nightamre Moon and Celestia fighting each other with there horns. It was beautifully painted and detailed.

"Yes. We have had a few problems in getting our point."Nightmare Rarity said as she looked at the painting with Night Glider.

"A few?"Night Glider remarked.

"Well other than that we have been quite mistreated by normal ponies."Nightmare Rarity started."For years we have had to hide due to the cruel Princess Luna banishing us. Not all of us are bad and some of us have changed. Ever since Nightmare Moon...none of us can even see other ponies."

Princess Luna? Evil?

..."But here at the house the three of us can be happy. Now that your here,we can be much happier. Maybe even get revenge. It's just so good your here."

Nightmare Rarity then embraced a hug upon Night Glider.

It felt good to be wanted somewhere for once. Her whole life she had just been in the shadow...a simple other pony. Now she was being hugged and kissed for just being there. She was being appreciated. And it felt good.
