The Return of Nightmare Moon

Twilight was just getting into bed. She'd reorganized the books for the third time in one day. Thee first time she needed to, and the other two were 'for fun'. She stood at the balcony to the library and watched the moon rising into the sky. She then saw something dash across the sky.

'Bit late for birds to still be up.' She thought. She then headed back inside. She climbed into bed and shut her eyes.

"Hello, Princess."

Twilight jolted upright. Who said that? Where did that voice come from? She opened her eyes. A sinister looking mare was glaring back into them.

"Nightmare Moon!" Twilight screamed.

"The one and only".

With that line, Nightmare grabbed Twilight in a dark blue cloud of magic, slamming her into a shelf of books, causing several to fall to the ground. Just then, Spike entered the room.

"Hey!" He shouted, appearing to forget who he was talking to. "Let her go!"

The princess of darkness turned from giving a struggling Twilight a sharp stare to glare at the baby dragon.

She laughed. "Haha haha no." She smirked slyly. "What are you going to do?"

Spike charged at her, not realising it was a trap. Twilight knew that Nightmare was happy he'd charged at her.

Twilight tried to warn him. "Spike, no!"

Too late. A bolt of magic shot from the alicorn's horn, hitting Spike. He made a noise that could only be described as a cross between a scream of pain, a gasp and a goose choking on a mint imperial. There was a flash, and Spike was gone. In his place was a pile of dust.

"Spike..." Twilight could only whisper, tears racing down her face.

"Oh don't worry," Spike's murderer said in a tone of mock pity. "You'll forget about him soon enough."

She then cast a spell on Twilight. The purple alicorn gasped. Her eye colour changed to grey. She felt her brain burning, her memories flashing right in front of her before...

Twilight fell to the ground. Well, it was Twilight's body, but Twilight wasn't inside. She was gone. What inhabited the body of a purple alicorn was a red eyed empy shell, completely under Nightmare Moon's control.

The evil alicorn led the horse (which, to prevent confusion, I will still refer to as Twilight) out of the library. Just before they flew into the night, the princess shot a bolt of magic at the library, causing it to burst into flames. She chuckled.

"Come on, Twilight," she said, both evil and satisfaction flaring in her voice with every syllable. " let's pay my sister a little vist..."
