Her Child Of The Night

by Thefastspark


Hope is a spark

As hours pass by, Celestia lays on her bed with Drake laying on her tummy, his whimpers slow and quiet.

"It's ok, Drake, It's ok..."

Celestia said soothingly, hoping to calm him down at the most.

"A-Auntie Tia? Where's mommy?"

Drake asked turning his head to face her. Celestia stroked his hair, making him shudder with ease.

"A guard told me she was on her way in about 20 minutes. Just sleep for now little one, I'll tell her what happened."

Celestia said as he tucked his head in her rich white fur and moaned quietly. Her colorful flowing mane brushing against his left leg. Celestia chuckled lightly under her breath; a slow knock came to her door.

"The door is open, please come in."

She called out, the door opening to a guard with Luna by his side.

"Your highness, Princess Luna came in early."

Celestia nodded at what he said and Motioned for Luna to come in.

"Luna, please come in. I am sure you heard what happened."

Luna trotted in with her head hanging low.

"Unfortunately, we have. Whom shot our child? We need to know."

Luna said, her brow furrowing with anger.

"Luna... I know you are upset but-"

"Upset?! We art infuriated! Nopony hurts our child and gets off with it!"

Celestia laid Drake on her soft and comfy pillow; him shifting his body to the left.

"Luna. We will find out in time but, there is nothing else we can do but for some hope to come by."

Luna raised a brow unamused.

"So that is it then, we just wait and twiddle our hooves? No, we shall not stand for this."

Celestia trotted over and put a hoove on Luna.

"That's not what I ment sister. I mean we just take it little by little, until we find this culprit."

Luna shuddered a breath as she trotted over by her son.

"We just want our baby boy to be OK. That tis all we ask for."

She began to stroke his hair, a sad frown formed upon her face.

"Tia? Whom do thou think did this?"

Celestia could only shake her head.

"I am not so sure sister, there are so many creatures and ponies out there who would've done it. I am sorry Luna but, I am not sure at all."

Luna gazed back at Drake and sighed.

"Well... We guess we just have to wait, with every action, there is always a spark of hope."

Luna sat down on her haunches and nuzzled Drake gently.

"When we find out who did this to our son, there shall be pure pain and misery."

Luna's eyes glowed dimly, like Nightmare Moon had at the Celebration 10 years ago.

"Sister, please. Calm yourself before things get out of hoove."

Celestia warned as she too sat with Luna and Drake.

"Celestia... It has been so many years of pain and loneliness for us. But now we have Drake, that hole in our heart is gone. We feel complete again."

Celestia's smile formed again, gently nuzzling her sister.

"I am most glad for that Luna. Remember, I love you and so does Drake."

Luna looked back on Celestia.

"We know. We love Drake and he loves us. We feel that is all that matters."

Celestia looked up at the falling sun.

"I will agree with you on that Luna. It's always best to think about that."

"Sister? May we speak to thee about something that happened two nights ago?"

Celestia then grew curious of what she had to say.

"Of coarse Luna. You can talk to me about anything."

Luna took a deep breath, ready to speak.

"We were finishing on a last scroll for us to finish, but... Little Drake was crying in his sleep. We had to make sure if everything was ok and went into his dream. But, we were transported to a foreign room, with objects and furniture we have never seen before. We heard a glass smashing in the room next to us which was the kitchen we believe. We trotted in the room to find..."

Luna didn't known if she wanted to continue, her eyes were stinging of tears at the moment. Celestia took notice of this and put her wing over her back to comfit her.

"There, there sister. It is quite alright."

Luna wiped her tears with her hooves and slowly nodded.

"We found a human mare and human stallion. Although, the mare was watching the stallion... Beating on little Drake. His cries and pleads seemed to do nothing, he beat more on Drake until, we couldn't stand it. We made the two go away, leaving our son on the ground; crying and shivering."

Celestia was worried and hurt at what she had told her. She couldn't believe that the humans would do this to him.

"Sister, did you know who these humans were?"

Luna nodded.

"We presume that they were his 'parents', he called the stallion Papa."

Celestia exhaled of pure tension release and forced a smile.

"Well, you did the right thing of bringing in the human child and caring for him, he is now loved and cared for him."

Luna smiled as well, agreeing with her,

"We believe so too sister, we believe thou."
