Paying a Visit

Chapter 3
----Zephyr----

'No! No! No!' my mind screamed, racing with fear. I laid there, next to Luna. I was terrified that she was dead. It was my fault. 'It is all my fault! If I hadn't dropped her, if I remembered the enchantments!' I closed my eyes, and I felt something leave me. I quickly blinked open my eyes, and looked around. There was a dark blue smoke drifting from my hooves. It sparkled slightly, and entered Luna's still body. I felt a small twitch of pain as the last of the smoke left me.
Luna jumped slightly, and blinked open her eyes. The rest of her body was darkening and changing. She was returning to Nightmare Night. I stumbled backward, and tripped. The ground hurt, as I scraped my back on the sharp gravel. Nightmare Moon was ontop of me in a matter of seconds. Her horn pushed against my chest, and extracted the rest of Nightmare Wind out of me. My skin changed back to it's normal color, and I returned to myself. "Get off of me!" I growled at Nightmare Moon. All she did was simply shake her head. She crouched down, and held me with her legs.
I jumped away quickly as I felt something cold and slimy enter my mouth. I spat, and tried to escape it. My eyes clenched shut, and I went limp. Nightmare Moon's tongue was still inside my mouth, and I couldn't move anymore. She probed around my throat, and pulled back. Within a few minutes, she extracted her tongue from my body. I wanted to spit, to remove the smokey flavor from my mouth. I opened my eyes, and looked up at the tyrant standing above me. She was licking her lips, and smiling evilly. "I win." she laughed, and stomped on my head with her hoof.
Everything was dark. Gloomy. I felt cold hooves pressing against my side, and I tried to move. I wanted to fight, to escape this, but I couldn't. "Zephyr! Zephyr, can you hear me?" I heard a smooth voice calling me. "She is still breathing." Another voice said. "I know, doctor." the first voice responded. I felt more hooves pushing on my head. Then, everything went dark again.
