//------------------------------// // The construction of a Nightmare // Story: A Sister's Love // by Rose_Fire //------------------------------// "I'm sorry, sister. I was so cruel and unkind. I am to blame!" I cry out. The tears roll. "Luna, I-" "Be gone!" she yelled. "I forbade you from here!" "How dare you speak so sternly!" I shouted at her. "Leave me be!" She shut slammed the door with her magic. I stood outside in the hallway, my hoof on the door. I can hear her weeping. I only trotted away, ashamed. Little did I know what was really going on in her room. Come, Luna. Your own sister cares only for herself, and not thee. "She is my sister." I protest, the tears fall. A true sister would help you through your pain. Join me! And we shall rule Equestria! I lower my head. But Nightmare Moon is right. Knowpony appreciates my reign and power. But they will if I take over Equestria. I trot forward, remembering our arguments. 'Can I help, 'Tia?' 'This isn't your duty.' she'd wave me away. As if I'm not important myself. 'My only duty is to raise the moon, whilst you get your fame. I get no appreciation!' I said angrily. 'Do not be such a nuisance. I have to attend to my deeds.' she waved me away again. I trotted to my room and wept. I am not appreciated for my duties. For my precious night. It shall be appreciated, I thought. They will accept me as a princess, unlike Celestia. We shall rule Equestria! Precious Luna, you are not appreciated as thee should be. Join me! but I refused. Then, I would not allow Nightmare Moon to convince me to be so evil. As much as I hated this, I was jealous of her fame. I let her wash over me. I shook with power, and almost collapsed. But a laugh ripped through my throat and Nightmare Moon was in full control. "Luna, you must lower the moon." I said. I opened her bedroom door with force, only to find she wasn't there.
