Morbid Curiosity

Confusion

Previous Chapter

I came to in a dark cell. The only sounds being the waterdrops dripping from the ceiling.

I look around. There's a simple cot in the corner, a hole in the other corner for lavatory reasons and a mirror.

I look outside the cell and see nothing. There's just pitch blackness out of the cell. I walk towards the mirror and look at my reflection.

There's nothing.

I stare at the mirror, trying to make sense of it, when a shriek sounded out. I quickly look for the source of the noise, and find nothing.

I sit on the cot, trembling, trying to think of a reason why I might be in a cell.

I noticed something in my peripheral vision and turned to look at it.

There was a black apparition in the corner, with only two red dots for eyes, just staring at me.

I startle and stumble backwards and stare back.

For the entirety of what seemed to be a day, I spebt just staring at the apparition, with nothing but the occasional raindrop providing sound.


I sit on my throne, carrying out the Day Court as usual. It was a typical day, nothing to provide respite from the monotony.

I was waiting for the next subject in line to come in when a guard came in and whispered me something. My eyes widen and I told the servants to cancel the rest of Day Court.

I make my way to Luna's room, where I find her sleeping.

When she woke up, I informed her of what the guard told me.

"The guard has captured the perpetrator responsible for the robbery, Do you wish to come with me to interrogate him?"

"Yes dear sister, I wish to take vengeance on what has happened to that poor soul"

I smiled and we left for the dungeons.


I sat in silence, staring at the apparition in fear. I come out of my stupor with a jolt when a loud noise rang throughout the room and what seemed to be hoofsteps coming towards me.

I look out of the cell to still see nothing. But I jerked back when I saw one lone pony come into view.

I recognize her from the dream I had, and froze. Staring at her with a gaze that could only be described as creepy.

She glares back at me. I start hearing voices that I can't discern, they were distorted. The only voice I could hear clearly was the blue pony with a starry mane in front of me.

"Answer her, you cretin!"

"A-answer who miss?"

She seemed taken aback by my statement and loooked at me with a furious gaze.

"Your very Princess! The one who raises the Sun every day!"

I look back confused.

"S-so you raise the sun miss?"

She widened her eyes and yelled at me.

"NO, I RAISE THE MOON, AND REFER TO ME AS PRINCESS LUNA, YOU FOUL MISCREANT"

"B-but I don't know of any princesses"

I hear more distorted voices and then silence.

"ANSWER MY SISTER, I HAVE HAD ENOIGH OF YOUR GAMES"

I look at her confused.

"A-answer who Luna? I only see you"

She stared at me like I'd just grown a second head.

"You only see me?"

I nodded

"I only see you, and this phantom that just stares at me"

She looked at me, even more baffled.

"M-may I say that you look beautiful today miss? Your hair shines in the light and you look plump"

She looked at me with alarm and stepped back.

"W-why art thou flirting with we?" She whispered

I shake my head

"Not flirting miss, you just seem to have a very delicious looking body, I can only imagine how your blood looks and your heart"

I shivered violently, to the horror of Luna

"Do you even know who we are?"

I shrugged

"No miss"

She looked at me with concern and horror and walked away. Some distorted sounds sounding with her.

I stare at her until she leaves my vision and I look to the Phantom who has been staring at me throughout the whole exchange.

I look at a puddle on the ground and notice that I could see my reflection again, but it ian't following my movements and is very distorted.

I look away and climb on the bed, hoping to clear my mind.

I got no sleep that night.
