"Indeed" the mare known as Skye or Princess Skye said with a small chuckle at her younger sister's surprise. She made a brisk walk over to Celestia, and wrapped Celestia in a hug.

"What are you doing here" stuttered Celestia as she hugged back the smell of cherries filling her nose as it was buried in Skye's coat.

"Philomena" was all that Skye said gesturing with a wing to the phoenix as she broke the hug. Said phoenix let out a caw at her name staring at the princesses, though it was mainly Celestia who was in her gaze. "Tia, Philomena is trained to get me, mother,father or one of the high ranks if there is serious trouble. What happened?" said Skye staring into Celestia's eyes with a stern gaze.

"You're going to want to sit down Skye" Celestia said leading Skye to her bed. Skye simply raised her eyebrow but settled down on the bed. "What happened was..."

As Celestia spoke to Skye on the other side of the castle the moon princess was awaking.

Luna's eyes opened slowly as a bright light blinded making her slam her eyes close. She slowly opened her eyes again as they adjusted to the blinding light. Her head turned as she took in her surroundings. Her eyes shot open as she realized she wasn't dead. If she was dead she would have met Deathbringer at the split. She noticed her hoof had an IV in it pumping some clear fluid into her. If there was an IV then there was a needle to. She ripped it out by biting down on the line. What many ponies didn't know was that she was deathly afraid of them. She remembered her ~~mom~~ mother having to literally carry her to get shots at the doctors. She had to get away if she wanted to not have to face Celestia's questions if she didn't escape. She spread her wings getting the blood pumping through them, then opened the window with her magic. Her sharp ears caught the sound of hooves approaching her room at a fast pace, and quickly started flapping her wings to get in the air. She hadn't gotten a few feet off the balcony and in the air before magic wrapped itself around her pulling her back into the room. She tumbled into a larger body so that meant one thing. "Tia" she mumbled weakly trying to get out the pony's hooves.

"Wrong" said an all to familiar voice.

"Skye" she squealed doubling her efforts to get away only to feel herself set on the bed and a wing pinning her down.

"Don't even try" said Skye sternly nipping Luna's ear.

"Oww" Luna whimpered rubbing her ear trying to alleviate the pain. "Did you have to nip so hard" she questioned settling down.

"You tried to kill yourself and then when that didn't work you planned on running away. Trust me that wasn't hard" said Skye her gaze firm before softening tremendously as she kept Luna's gaze. "I don't think you realize how much that would have hurt me, Tia, mother, father and so many others. We love you so much, yet you don't realize that." she said honestly as she kissed Luna's head.

"But...but everypony said that... that nopony would miss me" stuttered Luna trying to justify her reasons.

"It doesn't matter what anypony else says, it only matters that you know how much we all love you," Skye said before turning to Celestia "watch her while I tell mother and father."

Luna blanched at that but couldn't really escape the hold she was in. Celestia switched places with Skye nuzzling Luna's neck before saying to Skye, "be back soon."

Skye nodded before teleporting out of the room. She appeared in the parlor room where her parents and grandparents spent most of their time. When it became apparent they weren't there she decided they were probably in the throne room with the council. She walked briskly to the throne room only to be blocked by the guards.

"I'm sorry but the king and queen are very busy right now, Princess Skye" said the mare on the right.

"My parents need to be informed immediately about an issue" said Skye opening the door before slipping inside. She cleared her throat attracting the attention of all the gathered ponies.

"Skye" greeted Queen Galaxia

"As much as your mother and I would love to talk we are busy dear" said King Sol.

"You'll want to hear this" said Skye before explaining all she had learned. The gathered ponies consisted of her parents, grandparents, and their council which consisted of 27 noble ponies who were like the alicorns immortal. By the end of her explanation the nobles were horrified, her grandmothers and mother in shock while her father and grandfathers looked angry.

"I'll kill him. I'll rip him limb from limb" snarled King Sol his eyes taking a dangerous glint in them. Galaxia was quick to nuzzling him and trying to calm him down.

"I'm sure he is mortal but just in case we should check with Princess Luna" said a pure white pegasus mare with a black mane name Sharp Wit. Skye nodded and teleported her two younger sisters to them. Luna immediately tried to hide herself into Celestia making all of the gathered mares coo. Luna was fondly remembered when she was younger for not only being a prankster but also being extremely shy around ponies.

"This Kill, is he dead?" asked King Sol seething.

"Yes" Luna whispered.

"How do you know?" asked her grandmother Queen Dawn.

"I um saw it" squeaked Luna.

"May we...?" questioned her grandfather King Dark gesturing to her head. Luna nodded dipping her head allowing the spell to take affect.

Memory

They were in alleyway where shadows loomed over the buildings. Killer sat on the ground a sword clutched close to him as a battered Luna lay unconscious against the building wall.

"You shouldn't treat a mare like that" said a young stallions voice.

"I'll treat a mare however I want" snapped Killer.

"Why would you treat Luna like that" asked the voice again.

"She deserves it. All mares are good for is creating heirs and she won't do that for me"snarled Killer.

"Tsk. That's not all their good for" said the voice. "they make good companionship and are beautiful,smart and most times smarter than us stallions. Now if I let you live you will never bother Luna or anyother mare again, got it."

"No. Luna rejected me as her mate she deserves this. Besides, you could never kill me" said Killer gloatingly. Little did he know those would be the last words he ever spoke. A pony fell from the sky and decapitated him in seconds.

"Such a shame. Luna is such a beautiful mare it's so sad she got you as her mate" said the stallion. He picked Luna up in his magic and turned to walk off only to stumble on his cloak. He sighed lowering the hood to reveal none other than... Prince Blueblood.


Author's Note

If this chapter sucks its because of two reason. 1. I'm a terrible writer anyways and 2. I had a headache on the first half so... yeah. Did you like my hero at the end? Bet you weren't expecting that.
