Beyond My Grave
Chapter 12: A letter from a friend
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was in front of my sister's room, just staring at her door. A part of me wanted to knock but another part was saying that it would be a bad idea. What would she say? What would I say? Maybe I could talk to her. Maybe she changed. Maybe this time would be different. Maybe she would actual listen to me. I took a deep breath and was going to knock. But that was when I heard this:
“Celestia, sister, please. You have to believe me. I'm not crazy.”
“Luna, I heard enough. You're getting help and that's final.”
“But sister-”
“No Luna. I made up my mind.”
“Just please listen to me for one second. Just please-”
“Luna, listen to me! I told you. You're not getting out of this. Not this time."
"Let me show you. Please, just give me a chance."
"I'm sorry, Luna. But I have given you too many chances."
“You never listen to me."
"And you wonder why."
"This isn't fair."
"Life isn't fair."
"I hate you! I hate all of you! I wish I would just disappeared!”
"And I would not mind that. Sometimes I wish I never had you as a sister so I wouldn't have to deal with all of your problems. You're hopeless. That's all you'll ever be.
Hopeless."
The words echo in my mind. It was a conversation that nearly ended me. I knew it was only a bad fight. We didn't mean any of it. Plus, Celestia changed. She wasn't that prideful, mean mare she use to be. She can be prideful sometimes but not as bad as she was before. Also, we did made up afterwards. But it still had always haunted me for a long time. Mostly because it was the only things that kept me from talking to people. I feared that everypony would think like her. Nopony would listen to me. They would only believe her. Nopony would care about what I had to say. The past seem to always come back to haunt me. It was then easy for me to make my decision.
I turned away from the door and trotted back to my room. I had nothing to say to my sister. I didn't go back to sleep. I just laid on my bed and kept all the lights on. I made sure that my bathroom door was closed and my bedroom door was unlocked. I then spend the rest of the night waiting for the day to come.
I was happy when it was time for the moon to be lowered. I just needed this night to end and start a new day. I didn't want to spend another day in my room doing nothing. So I decided to try to get out of my room and spend some time outside. I didn't want to run into Celestia, so I didn't leave my room till later into the morning. I believe it was around 9:30 when I left. I wasn't really sure what to do. I mostly slept in the day. So I never really had a chance to go out and do something. I decided to go outside of the castle. It would be nice to get some fresh air.
I found myself in the Royal Garden. I laid down on the grass in the shade under a tree. The sun was shining bright. Birds were flying and the grasshoppers were clicking in the dry air while I heard the whizzing chirr from insects. It was at that moment I realized that I couldn't be any more happier that it was day. I guess I never thought that the princess of the night would want nothing more than it to be day. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. It was just that the night scared me. That was when they would show up and....it wouldn't end well for me. I was worry that those times would return to me. The times that I was scared of everything and anything. The times I was scared of falling to sleep, fearing I would wake up in a nightmare. Maybe those times already returned to me. I didn't know anymore. I tried not to focus on it. It was never good for me to think about the past.
"Just try to relax, Luna." I turned to laid on my back and looked at the sky. It was a nice day out. Too bad my nights couldn't feel this peaceful. "Damn it....stop thinking about it."
All of a sudden a scroll appeared in front of me. I sat up and quickly grabbed the scroll with my magic so it wouldn't fall to the ground. Who would be writing to me? I thought mostly likely Twilight. Maybe she was checking up on me to see if I was okay. I knew for a fact that Celestia told her what happened. Which only scared me more. How many others pony knew about this? I levitated the scroll to eye level, opened it up, and began to read. The letter was from Spike but on behalf of somepony else. Which was somepony I have never expected.
Dear Princess Luna,
This is Spike. I'm writing this letter to you on the behalf of my friend, Fluttershy. She said she wants to speak to you about something really important. She wouldn't tell me what though. But she said it's really important. So if you have time and feel well enough to go,
please speak with her. She really wants to talk to you.
Your truly,
Spike
PS Get well soon
Fluttershy wanted to see me? For what? Was it really important? Why not ask Celestia? And of course Twilight told Spike what happened which meant that all of Twilight's friends knew. Joy.
I stared at the note, debating silently in my head. A part of me really didn't feel like going but I had nothing better to do. Plus, it would be nice to talk to somepony outside of the castle. And maybe I could even help her with her problem. I went back into my room and send Spike a letter.
Tell her I'm on my way.
Princess Luna
