Azure Aura sat confused in the interrogation booth. She'd been arrested for murder. Thinking things over, she knows she hasn't killed anypony. Continuing on this train of thought, the door opens and the agent who arrested her steps in. Closing the door behind him.

"Hello, Miss Aura. My name is Silver Colt. Now being a Lycan. You can change at will, correct?" He asks, taking the seat across from her.

"C-correct..." She hesitently responds. Lifting some files with his magic, he places a picture down on the table.

"Have you ever seen this pony?" He asks, but Azure refuses to look.

"When were they killed?" She enquires, her voice shaking.

"My partner estimates about a moon ago." He tells her. Heaving a deep sigh, Azure removes the bandages from her leg. Looking at her leg, she sees is was healed, cause of the potion Zecora gave her.

"Dammit..." She whispers to herself. "Talk to Luna, she'll confirm I was turned this Nightmare Night."

"That'll be done later, but please, answer my question. Have you seen this pony before?"

Looking down, Azure examines the picture. Seeing the blue coated and blue maned pony, and broke into tears.

"T-thats....." Shakey breaths "that's my.... My sister!!" She starts bawling, putting her head in her Hooves, she continues to bawl.

Giving her a minute, Colt grabs all the stuff with his magic and leaves the room, leaving the door open.

After about a half an hour of mourning, a chesnut brown mare walks in. Azure looks up at the blood red maned pony.

"Please come with me, Miss Aura. Princess Luna would like to see you." She tells her. Nodding and wiping her eyes with her hooves, Azure gets up and walks over.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

Walking from the RCIS headquarters to the palace is a walk Azure never wants to do again. Her friends caught up with her though, they let Cherry, Cloudy and Sunset off with a warning. Just as long as they don't speak about classified stuff in the middle of public areas.

Walking up the palace steps, and into the palace, nopony said a word. Not the RCIS lady, or Azure's friends.

The RCIS lady showed her badge to the palace guard, and told him Azure was with her.

"I'm sorry." She says to Azure's friends. "Princess Luna only wants to see Azure. I'm afraid this is where you part ways for a while." She tells them. Then walks through the palace doors. Azure waves, then follows.

Catching up, Azure works up the ability to ask her escort her name.

"My name is Andreah Reigns." She tells her. "I'm the one investigating your sister's murder."

"T-thank you..." Azure tells her.

"If you don't mind me asking, I have a few questions to ask, for the investigation. We have a couple of minutes till we get to the throne Hall."

"Sure..." Azure responds, following Andreah around a corner.

"Did you know that something happened to your sister? Did you stay in touch with her?"

"N-no... We've never been exactly 'close". She's always thought I was the favorite child of the family. She distenced herself from me once we both moved out." She tells her, holding back the tears welling.

"So no communication at all after you both moved?"

"None."

"Alrighty... Even though you were out of touch. Did you know of anypony who wanted to do harm to her?" Andreah asks, stopping to let Azure answer.

"N-not at all. She wasn't ever in trouble or got herself into any. She never had debts or things to do with anypony else." She answers, slumping to the floor.

"Okay, thank you. You've been very helpful." She says, sitting down and pulling Azure into a hug.

"I want you to tell her she was killed by a vampire." Luna tells Andreah.

"But why? I don't want to lie to a greaving pony." Andreah persists.

"We need more lycan soldiers. We're running low. Those dammed vampires targeted all the families that night. The numbers were decimated." Luna demands.

"Fine. I'll do it. Fine." She says, turning around. "But it's on your conscience. Not mine." She tells the princess, leaving.

Remembering the orders, Andreah looks at the pony she's comforting.

"Azure..." Deep breath. "We believe that your sister was killed by a...". Another deep breath. "Vampire."

Azure's crying became more Ridgid. Soon she got up from Andreah's grasp, growling.

"I need to speak to the princess."

Walking into the throne room Azure looked around.

"I've never been here before. It's a beautiful place." She says. Andreah hums an agreement. Walking up to the empty throne, Azure groans.

"Where is she? I thought she needed to talk to me." Azure says to Andreah, impatiently.

"Yes, I do need to talk to you, Azure Aura." A disimbodied voice says. Looking around, Azure is unable to find the source of the voice.

"I'm right here." It says again, and a bright blue/purple flash originates from the throne. In it's wake is Luna.

"Ah! Luna! I need to talk to you!" Azure tells impatiently.

"I will speak first." Luna tells her. "I am in need of more lycan soldiers. And you are able bodied. Are you willing to fight the vampires?"

"Princess Luna, that's exactly what I needed to talk to you about." Taking a deep sigh, Azure looks at Luna.

"I'll do it."

Author's Note

Sorry for the slightly shorter chapter. I wasn't able to make it any longer without bleeding into the next story.

Azure Aura will be back in the last story of this trilogy: Just Another Ending
