//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Marry the Night // by Cadence5 //------------------------------// Luna awoke three days later very confused and as she climbed out of bed she let out a squeal of surprise as instead of flooring her hoof met air as she floated away from her bed. Then she remembered where she was. She assumed she had slept so long because without the sun going down there was no way for her body to tell how long she had been asleep. "Good morning, Your Highness. Hope you got a nice beauty sleep," Nightmare Moon cooed to Luna who rolled her eyes in response. "Hope you slept well... maybe dreamed up a way to get us out of here? After all it is your fault we're trapped here remember?" Luna turned her back on the black mare as she flew over to get an apple. "It's not my fault you had to get us banished," she finally replied. "Oh so now you're blaming me!?!' cried nightmare moon. "Why did you cast that spell? You know the one that made me? I was fine being trapped in your pathetic little mind with your deepest fears... like how you're afraid something will happen to Celestia... like what happened to your parents.. remember lulu? they-" She didn't finish because her mouth was forced shut by Luna's magic as she floated in her room. Tears flowing freely down her face as she remembered what happened so long ago. The room which was lit from an unknown source, went dark. nightmare moon shot a bolt of lightning at Luna which bounced off the glass wall and shot back at her. It hit her square in the flank causing her to create a storm cloud on Luna's side of the room in her panic. Soon Luna was drenched and angry. She unchained all of Nightmare Moon's furniture and switched gravity back on for her. She crashed to the curved floor of her room where the chains that once held her furniture strapped her to the floor. She added lightning to her rain clouds, and Luna felt a shock go through her body as a bolt hit her tail. She flung a fireball at Nightmare Moon who deflected it and launched it back at the glass wall. Just as it hit the glass wall from one side, a lightning bolt hit it from the other and the glass shattered throwing both mares against opposite walls where they slid to the floor as gravity returned to the whole room.
