//------------------------------// // 4 - Luna // Story: Why Won't You Listen? // by Rain Fall //------------------------------// I was running. Running from something. It felt like my legs were giving out, but I had to keep going, but why. I slowed down to look back. It was Twilight, although it wasn’t her. She was a darker, duller color, and had red eyes. The eyes reminded me of Sombra. “Twilight?” I said. “You betrayed me Luna, I thought I could trust you!” she hissed. This wasn’t her. “I never have!” “Leave, before I get Sombra in on this.” she smirked. That wasn’t her smirk, it was Sombras. “I’ve done nothing!” I was growing anxious, I just wanted her safe, and it was obvious she wasn’t. “You used magic against me to try to get me to turn on Sombra, so you take me away from him!” she yelled. It appeared that she had been ripped in half, revealing Sombra. He laughed. “You’re a fool. You’ll never get Twilight, not until I get what I want.” he growled. “What do you want?” I got in a stance ready to attack. He walked over to me, and whispered, “You’ll see.” he leaped on me. I woke up with tears and a scream. I was still in the barn of Sweet Apple Acres. I gasped to catch my breath. “Are you ok?” Goldie had gotten up from the side of me, he looked at me with worried eyes. “Y-yeah. How long have I been sleeping?” I asked him. “For a couple hours.” Dash trotted in. “You good?” “Yes. I’m going to head over to the house.” I tried to get up but my knees wouldn’t hold, I collapsed. “You’re not goin’ anywhere in that condition,'' Applejack said. She walked over to help me onto her couch. She grabbed a blanket to lay over me. “I’ll be fine. I need to get to Celestia.” I said, my voice was hoarse. “How about you stay here for the night, and if you're better in the morning, you can go.” Applejack was stubborn, so I didn’t continue arguing. “Fine.” I groaned. “Good,” Applejack smiled. “Who’s that?” A little filly waddled in. She was pretty, a very light blue coat with a rainbow mane. The only difference between her and Dash was her eyes, they were green like Applejacks'. “This is Luna, and she’s staying here for the night.” Dash said. The filly gasped. “Wow!” Applejack chuckled. “Be nice, she’s goin’ through a hard time right now.” “I will mother,” the filly walked over, mesmerized. “You’re pretty.” “Thank you, what’s your name?” I propped myself up. “I’m Serene Skies,” the filly smiled. “That’s a pretty name, and you're pretty too,” I did my best smile I could manage. “Thank you!” Serene jumped on the couch next to me. “You’re welcome.” I heard a playful scream, and laughter came after. Two more fillies appeared from the hall, laughing. Both of them were a caramel color, but one had a short rainbow mane, without the green, and the other a long yellow mane, with blue and green stripes going through it. “And there’s the twins,” Dash said. “Come here, we want you to meet someone.” “Who?” the rainbow maned colt said. “Luna,” Dash said. The twins were instantly intrigued, they walked over. “Say hello and your names.” “Hello, I’m Rouge,” the rainbow maned colt said. He wasn’t shy at all. “Hi, I’m Apple Pie,” the filly said, behind her brother. “Hello to you too,” I tried to smile again. Faking was hard. “Well, would you look at the time,” Applejack looked at the clock on the wall. “Aw man,” Rouge said. “Yep, time your y’all to go to sleep.” Applejack gathered all of the filly’s, but Golden Delicious stayed. “Can I stay here with Luna?” Goldie asked. “If it's alright with Luna, then yes.” Applejack walked off with the fillies in front of her. “May I stay with you, please.” Goldie looked over at me. “Yes, you can,” I said, laying down. “Yay!” he hopped on the couch and curled up next to me. Pressing his soft flank up next to mine, he sighed and instantly fell asleep. I was no where near tired, so I decided to think about what had happened in my nightmare. Sombra wanted something, but what? He had the throne, because of Twilight. They said that he'll be over of surveillance over his magic soon. He has the power, money, and everything he'd wanted in the past. So what else. He has an alicorn wrapped around him, but maybe he wants another one. He wouldn't be able to get Cadence, Celestia, or me. We'd find out and banish him immediately. My mind wandered to Flurry Heart. The alicorn-born filly. She is a very strong filly, that was proven at birth. She has grown to control herself more, but it still gets the best of her at times. To be honest, she could be stronger than some of us if she really tried. So maybe... I shuddered at the thought. There is no way. He is in no way a father figure. Maybe I'm just overthinking.
