//------------------------------// // The Past Is None // Story: Her Child Of The Night // by Thefastspark //------------------------------// The night clicked the window glass, each sound. Making a thinking sound on the glass. It didn't bother Luna for she was laying down on her pink cushion. Jotting down her thoughts in the Royal Night Diaries. She was used to the night sounds and noises that usually happened. 1987 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #8 'We art becoming worried of Drake. He is hearing whispers around the castle from castle staff and mostly our annoying nephew Blueblood. He tells me that he heard them saying he eats foals, Scares little fillies at night, He is a monster and abomination. I find these rumors unbelievable and plain preposterous. Our child is the sweetest, kind, and caring human We've ever met. He isn't like the humans like thousands of years ago. He is different and We art glad for that. We love him no matter what he is or what he says. Though, The scars still need to heal in his mind. We shall protect him in any-' Luna stops her writing to hear silent, soft whimpering. She looked over by Drake, seeing he was twitching his body slowly. Tossing and turning each twitch. Luna arose from her pillow to comfort him. Her eyes full of worry, her senses telling her to see what his dream was making him so scared. "Shhh.. Tis ok.. We art here now.." She gently stroked his deep brown hair. She had to see what was bothering him in his sleep. It was a natural power the mare could use, to go into dreams and scare away nightmares from foals and children. The tip of her horn glowed a bright white vanishing instantly out of the room. She arrived in a small foreign room. With a small black T.V. grey walls in the room, The glass windows with old cobwebs, no light shined in guessing it was pitch black of night, brown wooden table that stretched wide, black scratched up couches that showed wears and tears in it. Probably from old age. Some green glassed bottles that showed the label for adult drinks, a small dimly lit Lamp in need of a bulb change. "Where... Art we?" She kept looking around, interested in the furniture that was around her. She asked questioning herself. A loud smash of a glass came from the room next to her, tinkling softly on the ground. As well a loud pitched scream came from it. She knew that scream from anywhere. She had to be careful, even if this was a dream. Her ears folded back, seeing what was happening next door. She trotted slowly to the room. A small kitchen with a human mare standing beside a stove, Her red hair falling to her shoulder, blue eyes that gleaned with evil, Her red skirt up to her waist as her arms were crossed. Luna looked to the right seeing a drunken human stallion. His dark bags under his eyes showed no emotion. Her brown hair short enough to a small buzz cut, His black bloodied shirt and dark blue jeans, beating on a little Drake. This was his nightmare. A nightmare that broke Luna's heart. Tears streamed as she watched her own baby foal being forcefully punched and beaten. "T-This WAS his parents...? W-We cannot believe such happened... Drake Our baby." She stepped back slightly to not be seen by these horrid humans. "I really wish that you weren't such a stupid little prick! Do you understand me?!" The human stallion screamed at the top of his lungs, making Luna wince slightly. "Yes Papa!! Stop hurting me please!! I'll be better!" Drake shouted in hopes of him listening but to no effect, a strong right came in contact with Drake's face. "You'll never be better. You will always fuck things up.. Like you always do here." The human mare then chimed in. "You were always a stupid little retard that couldn't do things right.. I wish we would've had a better son or even a daughter!" Luna snapped from her saddened gaze and her expression suddenly turned angry.. Fury boiled in her mind. She was so angry that her motherly instincts overbeared her body. "LEAVE THIS LITTLE CHILD ALONE AND NEVER RETURN TO HIS DREAMS AGAIN!!" Luna screamed stomping her hooves on the stone flooring. Making the two disappear like sand falling from hooves. Leaving a tattered and beaten Drake on the ground, shivering and crying. She trotted over quickly to her son sitting on her haunches... wanting to cuddle her son, just love on him furiously. "M-Mommy?" His eyes blackened, swollen from the hard punches.. His nose bleeding lightly.. A large and severe bruise on his lower right side of his head. Drake simply asked as he arose from his fear. "Shhhhhh.. tis ok baby.. Come here." She cooed to him, hoping to comfort him, letting him know she was now here. Luna quickly pulled her child into a tight hug as Drake cried on her shoulder. Luna rubbed his back with her left hoove. "Shhhh.. Shhh.. tis ok.. I'm here now Drakie.. Shhh.." She gently hushed him to calm him down and comfort him. "Drake. we art going to wake thou up ok? In 3..2..1.." Her horn glowed bright again.. Still holding onto Drake. The dream ended with a poof. Luna still holding onto Drake.. At least he was not injured in the real world, Luna thought. His eyes fluttered open looking into Luna's azure eyes. "M-Mommy... I-I s-aw you in my dream." Luna hushed him, putting her hoove to his lip. "Sweetheart. Now we know thys past of thy original parents. We went into thys dream to see what was troubling thee. W-We never thought these humans were thy parents. What these... humans say is never true. Thou are loved, thou art not stupid, thou art not messing anything up. We art happy with who thee art and We will always love thou for being thyself because that is what makes thee special." Drake would never thought she would ever say that, he always had these dreams but never had the mind to tell her to not worry her. But she found out herself. Luna cradled her child to her chest, putting her hoove on his head rocking him slow and gently. Drake tucked his arms and legs in crying on her mothers chest. He rubbed his head against Luna's fur to feel safe. Luna bent her head down licking his tears away with her cool tongue. Drake knew this was her way of calming him and clearing his tears. "I-I love you... mommy." Luna continued to rock him gently beginning to make him sleepy. "Goodnight Drake. Never forget, We love thou so much." She clutched her son with her hooves, not letting him go as she to fell asleep from exhaustion. Drake smiled weakly resting his head on Luna's chest feeling safe and loved.
