It looked like the halls of the castle of the Two Sister. My eyes widened, breaths were ragged and harsh. My hooves trembled at my sides. I jammed my fist into my mouth to stifle the scream. I heard it coming; the soft suppuration of its footsteps, like a threatening whisper. Darkness washed over me, sending another chill down my spine. It didn't seem to come from any direction, just a sound that encapsulated me inside my cocoon of despair and hopelessness. Fear curled up inside me and clung to my ribs, settling uncomfortably in my chest. I probably wasn't going to make it out alive. My legs were frozen into place, so I crouched into a crawl and dragged myself towards the edge of the room, gasping and choking. I clawed at the walls with bloody hooves and the already peeling wallpaper came away at once. My jaw dropped in a silent scream of horror. It was the same bull creature that took me here.

I got up and started running. I didn't care where I was going just as long I got as far away from it as possible. The distance was all that mattered now to me. It lunged at me, a dark shape latching onto my back. I struck the ground, hard, and lay there convulsing and twitching. I could feel the life in my eyes faded slowly until the iris merged with the whites, a chalk-colored froth clouding my mouth until I fell into the ever-consuming darkness below.

I fell limped. It was only then when it finally let me go and disappeared. I sat up and breathe really hard as I tried to catch my breaths. I stood up from the ground slowly, barely holding my own weight. I looked around but was met with a shock. I was no longer at the castle. I was now in the middle of nowhere, absolutely anywhere. I thought to myself and tried to figure out how I got there. I could see maybe twenty yards, after that, it was fog. The ground was grey and barren, the world around me was dead and dry. A cold wind blew around me without making the slightest noise. I began walking, my hooves making clopping noises that seemed loud relative to the dead silence. I felt the ground leave from beneath me and I was suddenly in free-fall. My eyes widened as brightness then darkness rushed past me in violent sweeps. My eyes began to water, I tried to spread my wings and fly away but it was as if I was falling through a vacuum as I fell further and further down.

I bolted up in my bed with a scream. I was covered in sweat and my entire body ached. I closed my eyes for several moments, holding back sobs of terror. Through a mirror that was in the room, I saw myself but when I was younger. When my hair with a lighter blue and my coat was more of a light purple. My hair also wasn't wavy. It was actually really short and I was smaller in size.

“So, this is your decision?” A voice called from the darkness. Through the darkness of the room, I could see the dark silhouette. I hugged my knees and started to cry.

"W-what do you want from me?" I cried tears on my face. "Why must you torture me?"

"Cause it's fun."

I shook my head repeatedly. "Please don't. Please," I begged.

"You know it's going to happen?" he smirked as he moved in closer to me.

I darted from my spot, heading for the door. The silhouette came out of the darkness. It turned out it was Berry Tart. He easily ran up to me. He grabbed me in mid-air and though me back onto the bed. I screamed as I landed onto the bed. He got on top of me as I let out a final scream before he covered my mouth.

Discord stood on the other side of the room away from them. He was watching everything that was happening to Luna. Discord's mind began to flip out. He realized what was happening there. He was literately watching what happened to Silver Blitzs happen to Luna. He didn't know what to think. Did this really happen? Did Luna really go through this? He hoped not. He stood there stunned as he heard Luna cry and plead. It would explain why she would be scared of him.

I once again woke up screaming. My eyes darted quickly around the dark room making sure I was really awake this time. It was common for me to have nightmares like these. I wake up or at least I think I did until something else comes and attacks me. Then I wake up for real. The voices slowly crept into my head like an animal stalking its prey.

"Luna?" He called out to her but with no response. "Luna, it's me. Say something," Discord said again. He tried talking to her but she would never say anything to him.

You're worthless, everypony hate's you.Those voices said, but what really hurt her was "Your sister hates you. You're such a freak. Everypony knows you're crazy. You should just kill your self, knows your sister wouldn't care anyway.

I covered my ears trying blocked them out. It did very little against the voices as they begin to get louder and louder. I shook my head and silently sobbed "Why do I still feel like this?" I thought. I banged my head against the headboard. I ended up getting off the bed and head to the bathroom.

Discord followed her from behind. He made sure to keep close to her. He needed to find a way to wake her up. He didn't know how to get her attention.

"Did you really think that everything would go back to normal, Luna..?" A venom-filled voice that echoed through my pained head.

"Who's there?!? Show yourself!" I said spinning around to face the intruder.

"Why Luna.......is that how you greet an old friend..?" But when I looked in the mirror I saw an image of Nightmare Moon stabbing her sister to death. I screamed as I jumped back in fear. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see.

"Oh please, Luna. You know there is so much more to fear."

Before I could say anything, I began hearing a loud creaking sound coming from above. I opened my eyes and slowly turned around and looked up at the ceiling. There was an older stallion hanging from the ceiling; a rope around his neck. I dropped to the floor and screamed as I cried loudly.

"No. No. It wasn't my fault. It wasn't...I'm so sorry. We thought he was fine. None of knew...I didn't know..." I looked back at Nightmare Moon. "Stop this. Please stop this."

She smirked and gave out an evil laugh. "Stop you say? Oh, dear Luna. I'm just getting started."

"I said STOP!!!"

My head blinded with rage as I shot the energy at the mirror breaking it into shards of glass flew across the bathroom. Glass shard cut my horn and forehead. I smash the shards over and over to make sure that she was gone. I screamed in pain, blood dripping onto the white and black tiled floor under my now bloody hooves.

"It's alright...... it's fine..." I said to myself, crying to the pain, blood trailing down my face. I didn't bother to clean up the mess I made. I walked out of the bathroom and laid back down on the bed.

"Luna, wake up. Come on. This isn't real. It's a nightmare. Luna listen to me!" Discord begged.

Discord walked up to Luna to stop what he was seeing. He had had enough of it. He needed to end this before it got any worst. But just as he was about to approach them he was startled by a loud bang. Discord turned around thinking that it was one of the creatures that have chased them before. However it was two-night guards, two solar guards, and Celestia broke through the bedroom door, searching Luna's bedroom for any signs of a threat. Star Swirl trotted in not too long after. Discord walked up to them. They didn't seem to notice him. He was about to say something to them but they trotted right through him as if he was a ghost. Discord's eyes widened. He faced back to Luna. Star Swirl was hugging Luna as she cried into his shoulder. He was trying to calm her down a little. After a moment of scanning, the group saw that there was no immediate danger. Celestia sent the guards back to their posts and looked at her sister with a large frown on her face.

“Lulu, what’s wrong? I heard you scream all the way from the other side of the castle! We thought you might have been in danger!”

"I'm...s-sorry. I-It was just a bad dream," I said.

"That’s the fifth time this month," Celestia said. "This is becoming a problem."

"It was nothing. Really?" It was then when Star Swirl noticed the cuts on my hooves.

"Luna, you're bleeding," He said to me. I looked down at the deep cuts from the glass shards. I was now breathing heavily, my eyes red from me crying. "Come. Let's get some bandages."

I looked away from them in shame. I knew what a mess I had become. I tried so hard to fight it on my own. I tried to convince the others that I wasn't crazy. All had failed, I didn't know what to do now. Star Swirl signed and led me, along with Celestia, to the kitchen to clean and patch up my hooves.

"Now tell me what happened Luna?" He asked me.

Celestia’s mind was plagued with doubts, suspicions, and concerns, but she held me close and patted me on the back. "Luna, We have to get you some help with this. This is getting out of hooves."

"Celestia, it's not like that."

Star Swirl signed. "She's right. You need help with this."

"But-"

"You been having all these awful nightmares and now this. Your sister is right. This isn't normal behaviors."

"I didn't mean to hurt myself like this."

"It doesn't matter, Luna," Celestia added. "we decided that it was time to do something about it."

I looked up at them, stunned. I was praying so hard that it wasn't leading to where I thought it was. "What....what are you two saying?"

Celestia hesitated for a moment before speaking. "We scheduled an appointment for you," Celestia said as quickly as possible.

"What?!" I looked at Star Swirl who confirmed it with a nod.

"I'm sorry, Luna but you need help."

"But I'm not crazy. You're saying I'm messed up!?!" I asked my emotions bumping into each other.

"I'm not saying you're crazy but you need help for all the hallucinations you're having," Celestia said.

"But they're not hallucinations! I told you what it was. Have you not been listening to me?!" I yelled. My anger rose to its highest point as my thoughts came to one conclusion, Celestia thought I was unhealthy!

"We been through this Luna," she said more sturdily, starting to get mad at me.

"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,” Celestia interpreted me.

“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 begged. It was my last attempted to get her to believe me. Tears began to well in my eyes as the thought of my own sister came into view, her seeing me as messed up, broken.

Celestia stayed quiet for a few moments before shaking her head no. "I'm sorry, Luna. But I have given you too many chances."

I stood there quietly. I never felt more betrayed by them. I thought they could help me but as always I was wrong. I could never trust Celestia with anything anymore, I growl loudly in anger. “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 disappear!”

"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."

But she wasn't done yet.

"You go on and on and feel sorry for yourself and talk about it all the time. Stop bluffing and just do it. See what happens. Grab some pills and stuffed them down your throat and see what happens cuz I don't feel sorry for you."

"Celestia that's enough!" Star Swirl then spoke up.

I stepped in and got close to Celestia's face. "Fuck you, Celestia. Rot in Hell."

Star Swirl tried to calm us both down but it was of no used. I ran out of the room before any more could be said. I went into my room, slamming the door and leaped onto my bed and began to sob. The dark thoughts pushing themselves into my mind.

"What's the point?!? My own sister doesn't even think I'm well.....she thinks I need help! Doctors aren't going to solve anything! She doesn't care if I'm dead or not."

Luna

I lifted up my head and looked around the room. "Hello."

Luna. Come to me.

"Don't do it, Luna," Discord whispered to himself. But to his dismay, Luna slowly got up and followed the voice. He didn't have a good feeling about the voice. He didn't know why but something told him that is wasn't anything good. He followed as he tried to find a way to stop the nightmare.

"Where are you?" I asked.

In here. Where I'm always at.

I ended up following the voice back into the bathroom. I closed the door behind me. I saw the broken glass pieces still laying all over the floor. I watched my step to prevent stepping on one. I sat down on the floor where there wasn't much-broken glass at.

"You're here."

I knew you would come.

"You're here," Luna said. She was looking up as if she was speaking somepony but Discord couldn't see anyone there.

"They don't understand. I don't know what to do."

It went on like that for a while. Luna kept talking to what appeared to be nothing. He couldn't see or hear what Luna was hearing and seeing. Discord wondered for a second if she was actually seeing something. And if so, what? Discord looked down at Luna weirdly. What was she talking about? And with who? He walked up to Luna and sat down next to her. Discord had no words to everything that he saw. He also was not for sure on what he was supposed to do. He didn't know how to stop it. Discord has been into other others dreams before but he never stopped nightmares. He thought about how Luna stopped his nightmares.

"I want this to stop. I want this to end but I don't know how."

There's only one way to fix the pain.

There was then a long pause. My eyes widened. I shook my head no and started crying. "What? But-"

You know it's the only way.

"I can't. I couldn't."

I did it. So can you.

"We could have helped you."

Nopony could help me. Just like nopony can help you. There are reasons for the things we do. They will soon realize that it was their fault.

"No...no...no"

I covered my face and cried even more. My eyes drip with tears. The walls that held me up for so long were now slowly collapsing. Moment by moment, they fell, piece by piece. Salty drops fall from my chin. Perhaps these tears will help wash the blood out. I press my head against the wall. I slowly looked at the glass, so innocent but yet destroy by something that wasn't. I was anything but innocent. I couldn't take it anymore.

"There's only one way to fix the pain..." I grabbed one of the glass shards from the tile floor, wiping my tears as new thoughts began to enter.

Yes, Luna. Do it. Do it and we can be together again.

"Would it hurt..? What would everypony think..?" I asked, already knowing the general answers to those questions.

Only for a moment. You won't even remember it when it's over.

She placed the glass shard on her hooves. Discord saw this and started to panicked. He kept shouting at her to stop. Luna didn't respond to him. It was clear that she couldn't hear him. Discord knew he had to stop this now. He couldn't let her do this to herself. Without thinking, he knocked the glass piece away from her.

"What are you doing, Luna?!" Discord shouted. "Stop this right now. This isn't real. None of this is."

I gasped loudly and stood up. I knew that voice. But how? There was no way. No. It was a trick. But what if it wasn't. Was it really him. But why? Why would he save a freak like me? "Discord?"

"Luna?"

"Where are you? I can't see you."

"What? Oh, that's just great." He said as I grabbed another glass piece.

"You shouldn't have come here. There's no stopping it. There's no point in trying anymore."

"Luna, this is what it wants. It wants you to hurt yourself. You can't let it win."

"I...I...can't. I'm not strong enough," I cried. It was pretty clear to me now that I wasn't. No matter what I did, I always ended up getting myself or others hurt.

"That's what it wants you to think. Luna, you can fight this," I heard him say to me.

"Nopony understands..."

"Luna, I understand. I believe you. I don't think you're crazy."

I kept crying. I could tell that Discord was running out of ideas. He didn't know what he was doing. Of course, he wouldn't. He had never done this before. This was what I did. Not him. There was nothing he could do to save me. I wasn't worth much saving anyways. I didn't know why he bothers trying.

"Look. I get it. We both have been two damned creatures in Equestria, but we’ve both been reformed. We changed and we both have a life out there, waiting for us. Waiting for you.”

“Then why does it hurt so badly?” I wept.

“Because we both have a hard time of letting the past go,” Discord replied. " You saw my dreams. You know how I feel. I am the master of chaos, so of course, I’m always will be a bit screwy. But laughter, jokes, insanity…it helps hide the pain I feel sometimes."

I wiped my tears as I listened. I remembered that. Discord always had a problem with excepting himself. I too had problems with that but it was nothing compared to the things that I saw.

"I'm sorry what you went through but you can't let it ruin who you are. You still have a whole life ahead of you. Nopony but us will ever understand what we been through. But we can beat this, together. You're not alone."

"How do you know?"

"Well, I dragged my ass into this nightmare to help you. So.."

"No." I stopped him before he could continue. "I mean how do you know how I feel? How could you ever know?"

"I have been through it. You feel like you're alone cause every time you tried to get help, they failed in some way. There was no one there who understood what you were going through. Makes it hard to talk to anypony. I can relate. Nopony understands me."

"What?"

"We both tried to found somepony to really get us but we haven’t found it yet. Either we still fear too, or nopony else realizes what we have gone through. Please, Luna, don't do this to yourself. Please don't."

I looked down at the floor. I tried to stop crying but the tears kept coming. I wasn't convinced. "What if I can't beat this? I...I'm not strong like you..."

"Luna…you can’t keep hiding from this. You’ve tried that already, and we can both see very well how that’s worked out for you. I guess you can keep hiding from it, though. But ignoring it won’t make it go away either. No matter how hard you try to. And killing yourself won't help you. You're just running away. How do you think that will make your sister feel? Twilight? Me? But most importantly you."

I looked away when he said that. I didn't realize how much he saw. I felt guilty that he had to see me like this."Confronting it is the only way to beat this. To do that, you are going to have to face it. Face your fears and put yourself in the very situation you’re afraid of as I did. It helped me. It will help you. You taught me that, Luna. You did. You and Spike taught me that it's not bad to fight for love," Discord signed and I felt a hand being placed on my cheek.

"You do realize what you are asking me to do. It's far easier said than done, Discord."

“No, it won’t be easy. It never is. Trust me, Lulu. I learned the hard that it isn't,” he agreed with me with a small chuckle, turning his attention to the broken mirror, casting a spell that lifted up the many shards into the air. “Think of it like this mirror here. So easily broken but not so easy to fix. But change can’t happen overnight. It only comes bit by bit. You have to work at putting them back together again. And soon you fit them to something again. Though the cracks will still be there, you are slowly becoming something even better than you were before.” He pieced the mirror back together in its frame. He used his magic to restore the mirror back to the way it looks before I had so recklessly destroyed it. "And this time you will have me and Spike to help you. You're not alone. Not anymore."

"I don't want them to get me."

"They won't. Not as long as I'm here. Try to remember that. A nightmare is only as real as you make it."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I soon dropped the glass and tried to calm myself down. I looked up, only to see Discord who was smiling at me. I couldn't see him before. How could I now? I guessed it didn't really matter at the moment. I put a hoof on his cheek and smiled back at him.

"I see you now. Thank you for coming."

"We agreed to help each other, right?"

"Right," I said.

Discord was about to say more when I fell to the floor. I covered my ears and started screaming. The voices came back to me. All talking at once; screaming and yelling at me. "Shut up! Leave me alone!"

You can't fight us.

You're not strong.

You know you can not win

Give in.

You're weak.

"Stop. Stop. Stop!" I shouted.

Discord groaned. He knew who was doing this as well I did. "Luna, fight this. You're stronger than this. Don't listen to them."

My eyes trailed up to the mirror. I stared at my reflection looking back at me. I thought about the night I covered that mirror in the storage room at the castle. I refused to look at myself at one since then. But why? It was the same reflection as it always was, and nothing had changed that. It was always me. I always saw myself. Nothing was ever off. But as I kept staring at it. I saw more and more. I saw a broken pony who kept falling to her demons. At the same time though, I saw a fun loving pony who tried to help anypony whenever she could and was loved by her sisters and friends. I always will remember my mistakes and it will haunt me forever. Unfortunately, that is something that I'm afraid I won't ever be able to change. But I know how far I have come and how much I've changed from the past. I was no longer that pony back then. I was some pony even better. I remembered all the fun pranks I liked to pull on my sister and how she worked so hard to throw me something so simple as a birthday party. I remember the fun I had with Twilight and her friends on multiple occasions. And of course, I remembered my encounters with Discord. After the incident when I went into his dreams, he would come by every so often and we'll just play card games. Though it seems small it actually meant a lot to me and I bet it somewhat did to him. I was worth something. I just needed to remember that. I slowly got up from the floor and trotted outside the bathroom into the bedroom. Discord came out with me. I was hoping I could get away from them. However, it didn't work. The voices were getting louder but this time I did not listen to them. I tried to focus on the good memories. I tried using them to fight back.

"That's it, Luna. Keep doing that," Discord cheered me on.

The floor began to vibrate as we both heard a whistle. Discord groaned in anger. A sound of a heavy metal chain dragging on the floor, followed by two heavy footsteps. We both quickly realized who it was. I looked around the room but no one was there. I started breathing heavily as the sound got closer to us. We couldn't see the creature itself. What we did see what two bright glowing red eyes staring down at us. It started getting closer and closer.

"You got to be kidding me!" Discord shouted.

"I don't know what you want. But I know you can't hurt me. You're not real. None of this is real."

I kept staring at those dead red eyes. How were we supposed to stop it? What were we supposed to do? I was the only way that we could get out of this nightmare. There had to be away but no matter how much I thought about it I couldn't think of a way. We slowly started backing away, Discord looking for a quick exit. But I knew there was no more running away from this monster. Discord told me that I had to face my fears. So I was going to face it. I was done running. It was getting even closer to us. That was when I realized it. I knew how to stop this. It all came to me at that moment.

"No, I'm wrong. I should say that you are real. Cause I know you are. I had always known you were real. I had always known that all of this was real. I was just scared to admit it because of what everypony else would think of me but I don't care anymore. It doesn't matter what they think. Just as long if I know the truth. So there. I said it. But just because you are real, doesn't mean that any of this isn't in my head because it is. Which means it's all an illusion. Like a nightmare, I can wake up from it."

Discord and I kept walking backward trying to further the distance between us and it. It made a position as if it was getting ready to launch at us and attack.

"I'm in control. This is my power. You don't have any control over me. I'm the psychic. I'm the one who gets to tell what and who I want to see. Not you. So stop! Just GO AWAY!!!!"

I sat up, gasping and breathing heavily. It took me a few seconds to realized that I was awake now. My eyes traveled around the room. I was back at the bedroom I was in before I was put into those nightmares. I felt a hand on the back of my head. I turned around and saw Discord sitting next to me. He was smiling. I smiled back at him before I went ahead and gave him a hug. To my surprise, he didn't push me away and hugged me back. I have done it. I faced my fears and I won. I spend my whole life hiding and running away from my demons. But it never helped me. If anything, it made it worse. Seeing Discord go through the troubles to save me made me realized that some things you can't run from. To beat your demons, you had to fight them. For the first time in a long time, I felt strong. I was actually proud of myself. For once I stepped up and really did something that helped us. That helped me.

"Luna, you did it," Discord said as he broke the hug.

"I guess. But what did I do?" I asked.

"You took control of your power," he simply said.

"Yeah. I did, didn't I?" I smiled.

"Yeah. Is this what you deal with every night?" Discord asked.

I laughed a little. "Actually, I dealt with the worst dreams than this before. But to answer your question yes I do."

"How do you do it?"

"Don't know. I just do," I answered him. "But you did well Discord."

"Thanks. You did well too. Nice job."

I lean on Discord and closed my eyes. I tried to relax for the first time in a while. Discord put an arm around me and pull me closer to him.

"So what now?" I asked.

"I don't know. I guess to find a way to get you back to Shredder."

"Shredder?" I questioned.

"That's we are at. He was the one to sent me here."

"How are you here?"

"My umm soul dreamer powers I guess. I don't know," Discord said confusingly.

"So you're not really here?!" I asked shocked.

"No. A soul dreamer doesn't go to the "waking world." They go to where the spirits go after they die," Discord explained to me. I nodded to say that I understood him. I guessed at that point it wasn't that hard to believe in.

"Thank you. For what you said. It meant a lot to me," I thanked him. He smiled at me and nodded.

"Well, I have nopony that understands me. I mean I always have Fluttershy who has been there for me. She has done more than enough for me but...she doesn't understand. It's not her fault but still would be nice if she did. I always felt that nopony but you really understood what I was going through," He said. "Even now."

"Same here," I agreed. I smiled when he said that to me. It felt nice to see that I helped somepony.

"Just promised me one thing," he said.

"What is it?"

"If you ever think about killing yourself, you will come to me first."

I signed sadly. I never wanted him to think of me like that but it was my fault. But at the same time, it was nice to know that he really did care about me.

"I promised."

He smiled."Good."

"And to think of it. If I never followed you that night, we wouldn't be here right now," I said.

Discord looked away from me."I know. But maybe that was a good thing."

"How come?" I asked.

He hesitated for a few moments."You promise you won't tell anypony."

"Of course."

"The reason why I went to the cemetery that night was because..." My eyes widened when he said that. He was now telling me? But why? He was now breathing heavily. Seeing him like this made me worry. He wouldn't tell me that night why he was there. I thought it was just him acting up but now it seemed to be a little bit more serious than that. He looked up at the ceiling before signing then speaking again. "Because I was thinking about killing myself as well."

I looked at Discord when he said that. I never thought I would ever hear him say anything close to that. It made sense now why he wouldn't tell me and why he seemed so sad. Oh, the thoughts that must have been going through his head. I felt so bad for him to say that. But why? Why would he want to hurt himself?

"What?!"

"Yeah."

I gave him a hug and held him tightly. "But why?"

"Don't freak out, Luna. I would never do it. Even if I wanted to, I could never go through with it. It was just a thought so I went on a flight to calm myself down a bit. I then saw the cemetery and decided to land. Then you came." He then broke the hug.

"Almost sounds like it was meant to happen."

"Yeah. Sure does."

I took in a deep signed. "I would miss you if anything were to happen to you."

"I know. I would never do it," Discord repeated himself.

"At least tell me why you were thinking like that," I said.

"Same reasons as yours. I'm stuck in a world where no ones accept me. I'm hated just for doing what I was born to do. And even when I change for them it ends up being worse and they want my old self back. But not because they care. Just because they're better off dealing with me," Discord said angrily.

"You're talking about when you turned into Accord, right?" I asked.

He nodded his head. I knew what he was talking about. Accord was the orderly and harmonious alter-ego of Discord, who desires to create "true" unity and order. Discord turned himself into him in hopes that we would finally accept him if he was more like everypony else.. However, it backfired. It turned out just like Discord did for chaos, Accord did for order. In which he forced everypony (including me and Twilight) throughout Equestria into thinking the same by brainwashing them into mind slaves.

"When did you start thinking like that?"

"I don't know. I guess after Tirek," He answered.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I know I'm one of the reasons that you felt that way," I said.

"It wasn't just you and you were the least of it, so you're fine. But I DO accept your apology," He smirked.

"Good. But you can always come to me and talk whenever you want," I assured him.

"I'll keep that in mind," He smiled at me.

'You know I care about you?" I asked.

"I do, Luna."

"Umm Discord, how do we get back?" I asked.

Discord chuckled guiltily. "That's the only thing I didn't think of."

"What? So you don't know how to get us back?!"

"Maybe?"

"Oh that's just great," I say sarcastically.

"Hey, I said maybe I didn't." I looked at him for a moment before I laughed with him. "But I do have one question. Those nightmares...did you really go through that? Did Celestia really say that to you?"

That part of my life I wanted to forget but now since I knew that couldn't happen I didn't know what to do about it. I wanted to tell him except it was hard to even think about it. At the moment I knew it was best to wait. I already got most of it out so I wait until it's the right time to tell him more.

"Discord, I trust you more than anypony else right now but I'm not ready to talk about it. I promise that I will tell in the future when I'm ready. For now, I don't think I can talk about it but when I am, you'll be the first to know," I said. Discord nodded at me and gave me a small smile.

"Okay. Sounds good to me."

"Thank you."

We sat there on the floor when I heard a loud bang like a shelf falling onto the floor. It sounded like that it came from downstairs. I lifted my head up. Discord must have noticed it as well cause he looked at me with the same look I had. He got up from the floor and head towards the door. He looked at me and made gestures that said to be quiet and stay put. I only nodded to say I understood. I stood up and try to be quiet. He opened the bedroom door slightly and peeked his head out a little but not all the way. He looked back at me. I just shrugged at him. I didn't know what made that sound or who cause it. He rolled his eyes and looked back outside the bedroom door. I took a few steps forward and tried to look outside the door from behind Discord.

I suddenly felt a grip formed around my neck as I heard a deep growl really close to my right ear. My eyes widened as I felt it. But before I could call out to Discord, I was yanked back as a hand covered my mouth. The other arm was wrapped around my waist. I was then lifted up on my hind legs pulling me closer to whoever was grabbing me. I struggled with my attacker but he kept a tight grip on me. I didn't know how to respond to it, it all happened too fast. I heard chains rattling against each other. I then knew who was holding me hostage. He looked down at me and smirk with an evil grin. His red eyes glowing brightly as he stared down at mine. He uncovered my mouth and his claws form a tight grip around my neck as if at any second he could easily snap it. I wanted to cry out but I feared he would kill me if I said anything. I breathed heavily as I was preparing myself for my last breath. All I could manage was a loud yelp to get Discord's attention. Discord's ears perked up and turned around.

"Luna, are you-?" He gasped when he saw me.

"Luna?! Let her go."

He growls as a respond.

"Discord!" I cried.

"I said let her go!" He yelled even louder. A devious laugh could then be heard from behind him. Discord's eyes widen as he turned around. Berry Tart stood there with the door now open. He trotted into the room, closing the door behind him and locking it.

"Leaving so soon, are we? Why? It was just now getting interesting, " he laughed at us.

"But now since we're all here together finally, the real fun can now begin."

Author's Notes:

I took a lot of time to typed this. I hope you enjoyed this. It took me forever to type this all. But I got it done. A lot of Luna's nightmares were inspired by real nightmares I had or were inspired by real events that have happened to me in my life. However, I must be honest I'm at a writer block so I don't know how I should wrap this all up. You see, I had so many changes in this story. The way I first wrote this, in the beginning, isn't the way I thought it would turn out now. I had different ideas then but then I got ShadowStarEX to work on this with me and it went in a different direction. I have many ideas on how to end this but I'm not sure what I should do. So yeah. That's what happening. I'm going to talk to him and we'll work on it so this story can end this with a big bang. All I do know is that it will all end this week or next week. I am kinda glad that the story is almost over but also sad that it will end. Till then, I hoped you liked this chapter.

Also for those who don't know, Accord was a villain in the comics book, in which that is what my story follows. Here are a few links below if you didn't know or read about it yet and want to learn more.
