//------------------------------// // Give Gifts...Give Life // Story: The Lunar Puppet // by Luna Bruce //------------------------------// Emilymena woke up on a cold, tiled floor. She was lying down as if she was sleeping. She tried to remember what happened as she tried to move. She couldn't. She could only move her eyes. She blinked a few times to clear her vision as she saw a white regal Alicorn walk calmly towards the opened door right in front of her. Wait! Isn't that Princess Celestia?! Emilymena thought. She then noticed a golden aura emitting from her horn and the same colored aura around her as well. She must be making it so I can't move. Why though? She thought. Just then what happened just a while ago clicked. She then remembered everything. Including her gruesome death. Wait. So she ruled alone like the Princess and controls both sun and moon-maybe it WAS her! But why would she hurt anyone? Emilymena thought. After the princess left the room, she could move again as the door shut behind her. She stood up and noticed that she was much taller then before. She then saw four dead corpses lying on the ground near her and three old arcade cabinets and a massive mirror right next to the arcade machines. She then walked to the mirror to see herself and she looked like the animatronic that killed her. The only differences were that there were dark purple tear streaks that went down her cheeks and stopped at the sides of her muzzle and inside her black eyes were tiny white dots that replaced her pupils. She touched her right cheek with disbelief and the tears felt like they were purposely painted on her new blue, metal body. Emilymena looked at her flank and the cutie mark that she vividly remembered was visible there. Emilymena looked at the corpses of Twilight Sparkle, Vinyl Scratch, AppleJack, and Daring Do. Her new friends were murdered just like her. She wouldn't let them suffer with the memories of death. She had to help them. But how? Emilymena thought. She then glanced at the mirror and saw a bit blood in the back of her hollowed out throat. With a closer look, she saw her dead corpse inside the suit of which she unknowingly possessed. I know how to help them. Emilymena thought as she levitated all four of the animatronic suits into the room that she was in and took the Twilight head off the robot and placed it on her dead friend: Twilight Sparkle. "Give Gifts..." Emilymena said to herself even though she was sure her friend's spirits were watching her. She then put the heads on each of her other dead friends. After she finished putting each suit on each corpse, she was sure she saw her friend's spirits posses each suit that their bodies were in. "Give Life." Emilymena whispered to herself. "She will pay...as I am from now on...The Lunar Puppet." The End (Until Five Nights at Twilight's)
