I woke up with a scream. I found myself breathing really hard as I tried to collect my thoughts. It was hard to process what happened. 1 minute I was being strangled to death and the next I'm on the same bed that I nearly died in. It all felt so real. But I wasn't dead. I could breath again. I could move again. There was no one else in the room. It was just me. It was just a dream. Just a stupid dream.

“It is okay, Luna. Pull yourself together. It wasn't real. You're fine,” I said to myself as I closed my eyes. I didn't believe myself. I never did. I needed to try, though. But things like this were never okay. Things like weren't normal. So why was this happening?

“Luna.”

My eyes opened​ and I quickly sat up. My eyes scanned the room. Although, I didn't know what I was looking for.

“Hello. Celestia, is that you?”

No one answered.

“Tiberius?”

Nothing.

“Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.”

It was at this moment that I heard a bang similar to the one that I heard earlier that day.

“Tiberius… Please say that it's you.”

I got off my bed and trotted to my dresser. That was where I believed the sound came from. That's when I saw it. The same book from earlier, the one that I knew for a fact I put back on top of the dresser was now once again on the floor. I was confused. I didn't pick it up. I just stared at it. I didn't know what to think. Did Tiberius knock it over? Must have. I mean it was only him and me. Who else could of?

“Luna.”

I turned around. Nopony was there.

“Who said that?”

No answer. I started having that dark feeling again like the feeling I had at the cemetery. I didn't know why but I didn't feel safe in my own room. I felt like some pony was there with me. It was like though no one was in the room, I felt like someone was there behind me, watching me...following me. Maybe it was just a side effect from the dream. Maybe I was just scaring myself. Maybe it was nothing at all. Maybe it was all in my head. I decided it was best to leave my room for a while. I trotted out of my room, not knowing where I was going. I just needed to be away from my room. I went down the long halls, passing the guards who were most likely wondering what I was doing this late at night. The corridor was dark with only the light of the full moon streaming through the windows outside and everything was quiet. But that dark feeling was still there. Even away from my room, I still felt unsafe.

I came up to my sister's room when I hear a voice. It was the same voice I heard in my room.

“Celestia? Is that you?” I looked at up her door. Was she calling? I stood there waiting to see if she would come out of the room. After a minute, I started to get impatient. I knocked softly in the door.

“Sister, are you awake?”

No one answered. I knocked on her door again. Once again, nothing happen. I put my hoof on the door knob and carefully open the door. I opened it enough for me to stick my head in. I saw my sister in bed, sleeping peacefully. So it couldn't have been her. I closed the door quietly so I wouldn't wake her up.

“If she isn't calling me then who is? Is somepony calling me? Of course there is somepony calling me? Or is that all in my head as well?”

“Luna.”

I looked down the halls. Somepony was calling me. But who? I tried to find where the voice was coming from. It seemed to be coming not from Celestia’s room but another room further down. But no pony was in this part of the castle this late in the night. So who was calling me and what were they doing at that part of the castle? Even though I didn't want to, I continued making my way down the hall. I opened the door at the end of the hall and trotted into the room. The room looked like it had been unused for a long time. For it seemed to be now used as a storage room. There were several pieces of furnitures and a lot of boxes, many of them covered in big white sheets.

“Hello. Is somepony in here?” I asked. I trotted around the room. A part of me was saying to get out there of there. But the other part was curious and wanted to know what was going on. It was weird. It was like I felt like I needed to be there. Like I was lead there for a reason.

“We're watching you.” I quickly turned around, frighten as to what I just heard. I felt my body shaking.

“W-who’s there,” I said as I looked around. I suddenly felt something brush against my backside, I let out a cry and quickly turn around. Who touched me? What was going on? Who was doing this? Why was this happening? This couldn't be real. Not of this could be real. It was just in my head. All of this was in my head.

“This isn't real. Luna, it's all in your head.” I kept repeating it to myself. “Maybe I am still dreaming.”

I looked around the room and saw there was something in a sheet which looked like it was in the shape of a pony. I quickly pulled the sheet off with my magic, preparing myself to attack if needed. But it turned at it was only a statue. But I still felt like I wasn't alone. Somepony was in here with me. At of fear and paranoia, I began to pull the sheets off the objects. One by one I pulled the sheets revealing chairs, a table, and some other items. The last one I came upon was a large rectangular object. I pulled the sheet off and found a big mirror surrounded by a frame. I stared at it for a moment. I started to breath heavily again as I stared at my reflection.

This pony I saw was all too familiar. She was scared. She was upset. She was broken. She was alone and had no one to go to. She was always misunderstood. Even when she tried, it seem that no one would listen. All she would do was waste her breath, hoping that one day it would mean something. But that day would never come. She cried and cried. Almost every night would end in tears and nopony would know about it. Nopony heard her cries or her screams. No matter how loud it was, they all felt silent to her. Not like it would have matter even if they did hear her. Nopony cared about her. She had too many problems for ponies to deal with. She was hopeless. She was friendless. She was some dumb crazy pony that everypony wanted nothing more than to go away. That was who I was staring at. It had been along time since I had. I should have never followed Discord.

At this moment I asked myself: What am I doing? What was the point of this? What was I doing here? Why am I acting like this? All I knew was that this was all crazy.

“What is wrong with me? What am I doing? Why am I scaring myself like this? No wonder why ponies used to think I was crazy,” I said to myself.

I took one last look before putting the sheet back over the mirror. I couldn't stand looking at her. Not right now at least. I wasn't ready. She wasn't ready. We weren't ready to meet. Not even after all of this time.

At this point, I didn't know what to do. I just wanted sleep. I just wanted a night in peace. I haven't been sleeping well since I been in the hospital. I just wanted to be someplace that I can feel safe in. Maybe I should go to Celestia’s room. I knew she wouldn't have mind. She always said yes when I ask her if I could sleep in her room. Plus nothing seem to happen when she was around. Maybe I could get some sleep. I should be okay there. At least, I was I hoping I would be. I started making my way out of the room and headed towards to my sister’s room.
