Author's Note

So hear is the first chapter to Faded Moon. It's not the best but I tried and this is my first MLP published chapter. Please leave feedback on what I could do to improve my writing. This was inspired by others stories where Luna is bullied and pushed to this but I've added my own little twist for the future. I haven't read any stories with the same twist I'm doing. Hopefully you liked it. I will try to update when I'm able to.

Pushed to far

"False princess"
"Whore"
"You couldn't pay some pony to marry her"
"She doesn't belong with us ponies. She is a Nightmare."

Luna held her composure until she got to the confines of her room. The moment her door closed she lost it. Tears streamed down her face as she had another breakdown. Her eyes were dilated and bloodshot from her apparent lack of sleep and her coat had lost its beautiful shine. Now her coat was straggly and unbrushed while her mane no longer flowed, it simply lay limp. Nopony cared. Not even Tia. Her heart clenched as she thought of her sister. Everypony loved Celestia since she was so perfect while Luna was worthless. The last straw had been a letter at her throne.

Dear Nightmare Moon,

Nopony loves you. Nopony ever will love you. Please if you're in public cover your face, nopony wants to see it. I along with countless others wished your sister had given you a proper punishment when you returned. Your parents probably left because of you. Please do us all a favor and kill yourself.

Signed,

Everypony in Equestria

The part that bothered Luna was her parents. She had strayed far from the path they wanted causing many fights along with many harmful words. The last thing she had ever said to them was I hate you and then the next day they were gone. Luna put her hoof over her mouth trying to quiet the sobs. Whoever had written the letter was right. She was the reason her parents had left. Her whole family really. Luna had constantly battled depression since the age of 14, now she was 1,564. For so long she had battled but only now came to the realization that she shouldn't live any longer. She had thought about it but never thought it would come down to her actually doing it. Luna stood up her legs shaking like jelly as she made her way to her desk. She sat down for the last time as she took a quill and paper out. Luna wrote the letter as tears fell down her face and splashed the paper smearing the ink.

Dear whoever,

If you're reading this I'm dead. I've tried for so long to prove myself but it doesn't work. Now it no longer matters for the sheer fact that I'm gone. Tia if you find this just know that I love you and anything that happened was never your fault. It was all mine. It's not your fault that you're perfect and I'm not. I guess mom and dad were right when they said I would only make mistakes by pushing ponies away, maybe you could have helped but I never gave you the chance. Tia if mom and dad ever come back tell them I'm sorry and that they were right. I never should have disobeyed them , If I hadn't maybe we could be a happy family right now. Maybe me, you and Skye could be playing games while mom and dad watched. Like it used to be, like it never will be again.

With all my love,

Luna (Lulu)

Luna lowered the quill, her magic making it shake wildly. She stood up using the desk as a support. She made her way to her moon designed bed. She crouched down using her hooves to pull out a blood wood treasure box, she opened it staring a silver dagger. The dagger was narrow and sharp designed to make killing quick and easy, but that was not the most interesting part of it. The handle was carved into a swirl with Latin engraved on the side. The words were Mors celerrima or in Equestrian 'The quickest death'. The blade was especially designed to kill alicorns as when it was made it was dipped into basilisk venom. Basilisk venom was one of the few things that killed alicorns. Luna picked it up tracing the dagger with her hoof. She took a deep breath and before she had a chance to change her mind she slipped off her regalia. It laid on her bed.

Luna closed her eyes taking in her last and final breaths. She shoved the dagger into her heart taking a sharp breath at the pain. She opened her eyes looking down at the dagger. She was surprised to see how much blood was flowing out. Her vision slowly darkened until she could no longer keep her eyes open, her body hit the ground with a dull thud. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as her conscious faded. Her breathing stopped as the venom spread through her body. The last thing going through her mind was her fondest memory.

Memory

Four year old Luna giggled as her mother pushed the ball back.

"Gin Mommy gin" she squealed in happiness as Galaxia caught the ball.

"Can't daddy do it now," whined Galaxia playfully to her daughter"Mommy's been playing with you forever." Sol laughed as he watched his youngest daughter and his wife.

"No I bored" Luna stated as she dashed back inside to find her older sisters.

"Can't keep her attention for long love can you" said Sol nipping his wife's ears. Luna found them hanging out inside Skye's room.

"Tia, Skye why no play" Luna asked confused because her sisters had rejected her idea to play this morning.

"Luna we have to study for a test" said Celestia annoyed.

"What Tia means to say is we had to study for a test but we can take a break" said Skye stretching out making her pure white coat catch the light. Her coat was very well complimented by her blizzard blue mane and her dark violet eyes. Skye was older than both Celestia and Luna at the age of 3,798 while Celestia was 2,426 years old.

"Yay!" squealed Luna her eyes lighting up in excitement.

"Fine" groaned Celestia standing up stretching out as well. Skye scooped up Luna her eyes holding a mischievous look in her eyes.

"The perfect game is tickle monster" she said pinning Luna down and tickling her sides with her wings. Celestia joined in while unbeknownst to them their parents watched silently laughing at their daughters actions.
