Skeletons in the Closet
"Luna, you don't understand!" the Sun Goddess shouted at her younger sister.
"Oh I understand" Luna answered as she continued to stare at her distraught looking sister. It had all started a couple minutes ago when she had been outside the castle enjoying the peace and silence her night had brought. When her usually calm and serene sister came running to her babbling about some horrible monster hiding in her room. Against her better judgement she played into her sister's game and went to check for any signs of this supposed monster that had managed to breach castle security. However as expected she found no signs of these creatures.
"Celestia you had a bad dream" Luna tried to comfort her distraught sister with a gentle pat. "Surely no creature would dare attack us in our own castle."
After a few more seconds of panicked breathing and worry, logic started to once again take hold as she realized how silly she had been. Claiming monsters were hiding in her room like a scared foal, she was a ruler of Equestria and only two things scared her, Tax season and visits from Blueblood.
"I suppose you're right Luna, it was probably nothing more than a bad dream." Celestia repeated her sister's words with a nervous smile.
"Nothing to worry about Celly" Luna spoke as she slowly began to shut the bedroom door "Try to get some sleep, we have that meeting with the Gryphon diplomats tomorrow." with that Luna shut the door leaving Celestia alone in her room, the only light source a flickering candle next to her bed.
Celestia gave a nervous chuckle "Celestia you old fool" she began to mutter to herself "Six thousand years old and we're still jumping at our own shadow like a scared foal. What would the press say if they found out that one of their leaders had a panic attack over dreams of monsters in her closet?" She asked herself with another laugh as she climbed into her bed, giving a soft groan as she rested her head on the soft pillow.
*Creaaaaak*
Celestia's eyes shot open as the faint creaking sound filled the room and quickly stopped. Silently she continued to stare out the window and at the moonlit sky waiting for any other sounds silently praying it had just been her imagination. After several seconds of silence she gave another nervous chuckle as she closed her eyes determined to get some sleep this time.
*Creaaaak*
The creaking filled the air as Celestia's eyes once again shot open; the sound remained for a couple of seconds before fading off once again.
"He- Hello?" Celestia stuttered once again muttering a silent prayer that nobody would answer or that at the very least it was cruel prank by her sister.
*Creaaak*
*Oh sweet sun and moon, this is how I die." Celestia whispered to herself as the creaking continued once again this time going much longer before trailing off. "Well we all go at some point...” Celestia tried to comfort herself as she continued to stare out the window the creaking sound ever so faintly still coming from behind her.
Celestia muttered another prayer to whatever god's there might be that they would at least grant her a swift death before finally rolling over to see the source of the creaking. With one swift motion the Sun Princess rolled over and was greeted with the horrific sight of absolutely nothing.
The white Alicorn stared in confusion at the other side of her room, through the candle light she could make out her the door to her chambers and her large ornate closet both of which were still closed tightly.
"Well than" Celestia muttered to herself, her fear still giving way to confusion "I guess I'm just imagi-"
*Creeaaak*
"Crap" Celestia muttered as her closet door slowly began to open, all her previous fear returning in a single flash as she stared at the slowly opening wooden door.
"Hello?" Celestia asked nervously as the door finished swinging open a dull thud as it softly bounced off the wall.
Celestia felt her blood run cold as the silence filled the room and was instantly crushed by a rustling sound from within the closet. After several seconds of silently watching, Celestia's terror was only increased as she watched a fleshless hand reach out of the closet and grab onto the door.
"Oh gods no" The Alicorn whispered as she watch the skeletal hand feel around at the air before eventually grabbing onto the frame of the closet. After a couple of seconds the creature began to pull itself out, finally revealing itself to Celestia."
"Nope! Nope! Nope!" Celestia shouted as she realized it was a skeleton of some unknown creature pulling itself out of her closet. The empty sockets staring into her soul and the smiling skull burning its image into her mind. "So much noooope!" The Alicorn shouted before pulling the blankets over her head.
The clacking of bones on the floor filled the air as Celestia gripped her blankets tighter with her magic. This might be how she died, but she wasn't going to just give up. She was going to hold onto these blankets till the very end. She was going to hold the line like her father had done against the Demon King or like her Mother had that one time her Father wanted to paint the castle black with red flames. She was going to hold the line till the bitter end. The Alicorn closed her eyes; she had finally found peace and was ready to move onto the next life.
After several seconds of not being dead Celestia realized the clacking of bones had ceased and she hadn't been attacked yet. Slowly and carefully she began to lower the blankets expecting the skeletal monster to be waiting in ambush, but that was not the case.
Celestia gave a slightly twisted laugh as she stared at the closed closet, no sign of any intruders in her room. With a slight twitch and another chuckle she dropped her head back onto her pillow. After a few second she rolled over in an attempt to find a more comfortable position. However she found herself face to face with the Skeleton from before, now lying in her bed.
"How you doin" it asked in a raspy voice.
"Luna!" Celestia shouted as she threw open her sister's bedroom door causing the younger Alicorn to fall out of her bed. "I had a terrible nightmare, there was a Skeleton in my bedroom and it wouldn't let me sleep."
Luna remained silent as she approached her sister and leaned in closer before whisper something that too this day still haunted Celestia. "But Celestia, the Skeleton is real and it's inside of you."

4894301 Says the person who has yet to use proper and correct grammar on a single one of his comments on this story.
*Smiles* Hey kids, who wants to tell me the definition of hypocrisy?
4891462 Pfff, like it can eat me, it has no stomach, or any organs for digestion for that matter, it also has no jaw muscles so it shouldn't be able to even bite. Or see, or move in general, or hear, or smell, or have a sense of touch... Hmm, skeletons can't really do much when one thinks about it.
Lets turn off logic.exe and see what happens.
