	Luna tried to run, to call for help, anything, but Nightmare Moon tackled her while magically keeping Luna’s mouth shut. She flailed around under the larger mare’s body but could not escape. Beams of light filled the room as she began shooting magic at her attacker, but it seemed as though every spell missed. 
A chair flew across the room, a pile of papers was scattered across the floor, a massive burn mark was steaming on the floor near a corner of the room, but her nightmare was still there. Then it was Nightmare Moon’s turn. Her black horn began to glow a dark blue before her whole body dissolved into nothing more than a cloud that looked like part of her starry mane.
Luna half ran half flew down the hall. Her mouth was still glued shut, but it didn’t matter, there were no guards around to hear her scream. She had to escape on her own. Tears of fear streamed down Luna’s face. Her mane flowed freely behind her. She lost a shoe as she ran, but she didn’t try to go back. Luna made a sharp left turn and found herself at a dead end. She turned around quickly, but it was no use. Nightmare Moon’s cloud of night flew towards her. 
Luna’s mouth was forced open as the cloud of stars came closer and closer to her. She tried to blast it away, but the cloud dodged her spell easily. The stars were only two feet away now. There was nowhere for Luna to go, nothing for her to do, the tears continued to flow down her cheeks. She screamed as the starry cloud flew down her throat, and then everything went dark.
