Chapter 8: The visitor

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I was finally allowed to leave the hospital 3 days later. As much as I was glad to leave, I was really scared. I didn't know what was going to happen to me. All I knew was whatever the Griffin have planned for me was not good. Nothing was going to change. Nothing was going to stop. It was only the beginning. The worst part was that I could do nothing about it. Nopony would believe me, not even Celestia would. If I told them, they would think I was crazy. I was alone on this one. All I could do was hope that I could move on from that night and nothing more would happen. But I knew better. But what else could I do? I did not have a lot of options. I was going to have to live with what I had. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to have hope. It would be hard to move on, anyways. Mainly, because of my wing. It just hurts so much. I could barely sleep because of the pain. I was giving pills so it wouldn't hurt as much. But that was it. The doctor also told me that it would be awhile before I could fly again. Which only angered me more. I loved flying. The way the wind brushed against my face had always excited me. Flying made me feel free. Free from the world and all of my troubles. It was always a good time for me to think when I was in the air. So it did hurt me a lot. It also made me madder that the one responsible for my wing was going to get away with it. But there was nothing I could do about it. So I said nothing. I didn't anything. I was good at that, real good. All I did was wait to see what was going to happen to me.

I found myself back in my bedroom. I got into bed waiting for Celestia to leave. The doctor told me to rest for a couple of days. Remember when I said what was a good excuse for not doing a job? Well, this was one of the good reasons why not to do them. I still didn't like that I couldn't do anything, but I didn't have much of a choice. With a broken wing, there wasn't a lot I could do. Plus, Celestia would never allow it. Maybe I could use a break. Might as well try to enjoy it.

“Will you be okay?” Celestia asked.

“Yes, sister. I'll be fine. But I don't know how I'll be able to get any sleep. It kills.”

“I know, Luna. But don't worry, it will be okay. Your wing will get better before you know it.”

“I hope so.”

“It will. Now try to get some rest, little sister.”I rolled my eyes at being called “little” sister. Not a word I like being used on me. But I said nothing. She gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and turned​ to leave. “Luna, if you need anything-”

“I know, Tia. I know,” I said.

“I'm just making sure,” she said.

“Don't worry about me.” Celestia smiled and nodded. She trotted out of my room, shutting the door behind her.
I was alone once again. I laid down on my bed, hoping to get some rest. I couldn't sleep, though. I was scared of having nightmares and flashbacks of my past.

I laid down on my bed waiting to get some sleep. I looked up at the ceiling, deep into thought. This was a thing I did to make myself tired. Little did ponies know that thinking can make you sleepy. I felt my eyes getting heavy and I eventually fell asleep.

It was a long cold stormy night. I could see the flash bright lightning and hear the loud sound of thunder. It was raining really hard for I could hear the raindrops hitting the top of the castle which made a sound like a million marbles being dropped onto the floor over and over again. Despite the storm, I manage to sleep. And I as I expected, I had a nightmare about running through the cemetery from the demons. Only this time, Discord wasn't there to wake me up. It ended the same way it started. In death. I wasn't surprised, though. This is how it have always started. I just learned to think nothing of it and move on.

I woke up the next morning very weak and sore. I did my best to not even think about my nightmare or that one night. I was very drowsy and could barely keep my eyes open. I moaned. I really didn't want to get up. Though the doctor told me to rest, I still woke up early so I could still lower the moon. I didn't care that my wing was broken. It was the only thing I could do. So I was going to do it. I drag myself off of my bed and trotted onto my balcony. I looked up at the starry sky. It was almost time to lower the moon. I illuminated my horn and started descending the moon. Allowing​ the sun to rise from the horizon. I felt​ drained afterward. With nothing else left to do, I trotted back into my bedroom. I'll drop myself flap onto my bed when I heard some pony knocking on my door. I figured it was Celestia.

“It's open,” I shouted. The door opened and Celestia came into my bedroom.

“I see you lowered the moon,” she said, smiling.

“I said I was still going to do it. You didn't think I was lying?”

“Of course not. I can see it took a lot out of you, though.”

“I'm fine. Just tired and weak,” I replied.

“Don't push yourself too hard, Luna. Take it easy and relax, “ Celestia said.

“I will.” I really wanted to be alone. I wanted her to leave. But I didn't want to rude. “I'll be fine.”

“If you say so,” Celestia said. And then she left.

I buried my head in my pillow. I closed my eyes trying to fall back to sleep. I was nearly asleep when all of a sudden I heard a loud bang. My eyes quickly open and I immediately sat up. What was that? My eyes scanned the room looking for the source of the sound. It was when I looked at my dresser that I noticed there was a book on the floor. I got off of my bed and trotted to it. I looked​ down at the book wondering how it got there. Was that the thing that made the noise? But how did it fall? I picked up the book with my magic and place it gently on top of the dresser. I tried my best not to put much thought into it. I trotted back towards my bed only to see a small white possum laying​ on my pillow. I smiled. He looked so cute. Of course, he knew very well I was not a fan of him laying on my bed. But of course, like me, he was never a good listener. I figured he was the one that knots over the book so he could sneak into my bed.

“Tiberius, I told you not to lay on my bed.” He lifted his head and looked up at me. He quickly put his head down, closed​ his eyes and covered his head with his paws. That usually meant he wasn't going to listen to me. I rolled my eyes. I could understand why sometimes my sister did not like him. He was not an obedient pet.

“Alright, Tiberius. I see where this is going. If you're not off the bed by the time I get out of the bathroom, I'll just make you get off. You have been warned,” I said.

I turned around and opened​ the door to my bathroom. I trotted through and shut the door behind me and turned on the light. But instead of entering into a bathroom, I found myself in a kitchen. Not just any kitchen. It was the kitchen from my old house from when I was a child, just a little small filly. But before I could think or have any thought about what was going on, I heard a voice. A familiar voice. A voice I haven't heard in a long time.

“Luna.” I turned around. There was a table in front of me. And on the other side of the table across from me was a stallion. He was a unicorn who had a white coat with a golden mane that shimmer in the sunlight. His cutie mark was a crescent moon that was on fire with two stars upon a cloud. He looked up at me and smiled. I saw that he was eating a plate of blueberry pancakes.

“Your sister really know how to cook pancakes. She must have gotten it from your mother.” He laughed. “She was always a good cook.”

I nodded. “Yeah, she was. Celestia always wanted to be like her.” He took another bite of the pancake.

“You should try some before it gets cold.”

“Maybe later. I'm not really hungry,” I said.

“Okay. More for me.” I looked around the room, making sure that what I was seeing was real. But I wasn't sure of what was real anymore.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“Am I not supposed to be here? Last time I checked I was. I was meant to be here for you.” He sighed and took another bite. I just stared at him, utterly shocked​ at what he just said. It only took me a second to react. I slammed my hoof hard against the table. He jumped back in surprise. I could tell he wasn't expecting me to do that.

“Then why weren't​ you?!” I yelled. “I needed you and you were not there for me. You say you were meant to be here for me. But you weren't. Were you? You left us. You left me. Why? What did we do wrong? We could have helped you. There was another way. You didn't have to leave. But you did. Why...why?” I started to cry. He closed his eyes and thought to himself.

“I know I failed​ you, Luna. But I am here now,” he said. I could see that he was starting to cry. But I didn't care.

“It's too late.You can't fix it now.”I felt myself heating up inside.”You're dead, anyway.”

He looked at me and frowned.”Oh, I see.” He pushed aside the plate of pancakes.” You can finish them.” He got up from his chair and started to leave the room.

“Wait, I'm sorry. Please stay. I didn't mean it. I was just mad. Don't go.” He didn't listen to me, though. He kept on trotting. He trotted through the same door that I came in from and closed the door behind him. I quickly followed him. “Wait, stop. Please.” I went through the door trying to catch up to him. But when I went through, I was back in my bedroom. I looked around the room, confused. It took me a second to snap myself back into reality. I started breathing heavily. Nothing made sense anymore. The world around me was spinning. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I started taking a deep breath to calm myself down.

“It's okay, Luna. You’re okay.” I sat on my bed, collecting my thoughts when I felt something jumped on my leg. I looked down only to see that it was just Tiberius. He looked up at me with sad eyes. He knew something was wrong. I started petting his head.

“It's okay, Tiberius. I'm fine.” But I knew very well that I wasn't.


What was happening to me?
