My Little Luna

Chapter 9- Night of the Red Moon

1 month since the threatening letter we had, still worrying about what will happen and who it will be. The weather trapped us from going anywhere, which made getting out impossible. We had canned goods stored, but nothing from the fridge. The fridge got shot, we had no idea why, and the food was either spoiled or rotten. As we were together, we became more paranoid of the noises outside, even if it was dust, rain, or wind. Days later the storms had passed, letting us outside for the first time.
We decided to clean up around the house for the day. I went to get groceries while she cleaned out the fridge. She was done and had fallen asleep when I got home. We both forgot about the letter and when we did, we thought of it as nothing. So we went along our normal days. I did research while she watched TV. Happiness was in our lives again, but not for long. I was coming back from the field when I saw the front door was wide open; Luna and I never left it open. I went inside to see that the house was trashed. I called for Luna. She came from the trapdoor I had installed in her bedroom recently, which was for safety reasons. She started panicking.

“There were people demanding to come in, they threatened to KILL anyone inside who didn’t answer, so hid in the basement.”

I calmed her down, saying she had done a good job at hiding. I told her that she will have her room in the basement until this was all over. She understood. We started cleaning up the house, and while we were I noticed some of our pictures of me and Luna were gone. This was bad. They knew what we looked like, thinking they will come back for us knowing who we were. I dismissed the problem and got back to cleaning. I told Luna that no matter what happened or what she heard, that she was never to come out of the basement. She was scared when I said that, but she understood.
A night later on, a knocking sound woke me up. It wasn’t knocking; it was more like heavy footsteps. I heard them stop. I stopped breathing, struck with fear. I dared not to even open a slit in the window to see who it was. Instead, the door was kicked down. In this time, I never thought that she would be here. Not even as a culprit to who wrecked my house. Standing in the doorway was a tall white unicorn with a pair of wings accompanied by two unicorns with brass armor. It was Princess Celestia. I panicked and tried to run, but the guards were too fast. I collided to the wall as the guard horns dug through my arms and into the wall behind me. Blood seeped from their horns as they pinned me. I screamed in pain, only to take a mule kick from Celestia herself. I vomited blood on the floor and the dark bile on her as well. She backed away to clean herself off, and then came back to me in rage.

“WHERE IS MY SISTER?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Looking at me in disgust, she threw her horn into my stomach, causing me to vomit bile and bleed everywhere.

“WHERE IS SHE?”

“I’m not talking.”

She looked pissed, then smiled. Her horn started to glow, and I started to feel pain in my left hand. I looked over slowly to see that my fingers were being snapped one by one like twigs. The pain was excruciating.

“LAST TIME,TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!”

“Never …”


Her horn glowed again, but this time I felt something being pulled. All of a sudden a piece of me flies out from my body, causing an insane amount of pain in me that felt like a bullet passing through. Floating in front of me was my own kidney, in which after that I passed out.
