Luna woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily, her heart beating as fast as ever. The last time she had a nightmare like this, well, you can guess what happened. Luna kept on trying to tell herself it was just a dream, just a nightmare, but deep down she knew what was happening. Something big was going to happen soon, something she would have no control over, and she was scared. She was scared, not only for herself, but for twilight, the kingdom, and most of all, her dear sister, Princess Celestia. 

Luna tried to fall asleep again, but couldn't, whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was visions of what she once was, and what she could be again. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was visions of a morbid past, and a terrifying and gory future. When she closed her eyes, all she could smell was the rotten flesh of the ponies she had murdered. When she closed her eyes, all she could her was the piercing laughter of a maniac, "HER" laughter. Why was this happening to her? Why her, why her, why her.

Fear pierced through her heart like dagger. She had no idea what to do, her ears ringing with the growing laughter, as it got louder and louder, never stopping, only growing. Luna tried to ignore it, but it would never stop. SHe found she could not ignore it, but she couldn't embrace it. She couldn't let "HER" loose. Not again. Never again. All she could do was lay there crying, faintly yelling, "Help me'.

But nobody heard her. She could only lie there screaming for help, help that would never come. Then she saw the vision, the vision that drew her over the edge. The vision was that of a dead princess celestia, laying there in a puddle of her own blood. Her legs cut off and stuffed own the throat of a now dead twilight sparkle. standing over the two corpses was princess luna, her face variated between fear, and utter glee. 

The entire city of canterlot was just a ruin in lunas vision. The entire city was now infested by flames as laughter roared through the air. the laughter though, would soon be drowned out by the screams of canterlot citizens. SO the laughter just grew. And luna just stood there, crying and laughing and the same time. Her face variating between hers, and HERS. Luna would just stand there screaming, as SHE would begin to take over. every inch by every inch, Luna would slowly be turning insane, for the second time.
