Sneek Peak at my Contest Entry!

The former Princess of Night looked down upon her old home. In the vast distance, she could see the small planet that taunted her hour to hour. The land of Equestria. The people that shunned her and despised her. Her beloved sister. All lived down thousands of miles away, and she could do nothing to go back.

"Why did it have to end this way?" she said to the planet softly, almost hoping to coax it into saying something. Anything. But like the other times, she heard no answer. It was deathly quiet in the void of space. Sometimes Luna had to talk to herself just to keep from going mad and releasing "her" out again. She sighed as she sat on her hooves, lip beginning to quiver.

"I never meant for it to get this far. I just wanted to be loved, and look at what came from that. Now even my sister could never love me," she sniffed, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. She had done many things before being sent away, and although she always regretted every single act, she could never forgive herself for the last confrontation she had before "she" was released.

"You are correct, pathetic one. You tried to be loved, and you failed. I even tried to help them see reason, but they locked us away."

Luna flinched as she heard the one who damned her to this prison of time. With fresh tears falling, she steeled her nerves for another argument with Nightmare Moon.

"Help? You did not help. You tried to harm innocent lives and gave out orders of war." she growled at the voice. Although the voice was in her head, she felt it give off a malicious grin, chilling her.

"Ah, but do you not recall how feared and respected you became after that?" whispered Nightmare Moon. "Besides, your feelings and mine are one and the same. You wanted to outshine your sister? Well, now the entire world can watch our prison as a reminder of how weak you are. I should have finished her off the minute she tried to beg for you to 'return to normal'. Hah! How Sad, that in your final moments, you could do nothing to stop yourself from potentially killing your only kin."

The Princess of Night shook her head, starting to sob as she remembered.

"N-no! I will not allow you to torture me again! I-I am strong! I am-" she tried to say, as her nightmare came back full force, with nothing to comfort her. She was forcibly lulled into sleep, where Nightmare Moon waited.

"Your pain is my ecstasy. Your fear is my dream. All that horrifies you, just manages to make me stronger. So please, relive the nightmare, Luna. I am waiting patiently."

So, tell me what you think. It is for the "Luna is Best Pony" March fic contest. Not complete yet, but I'm getting close!
