Chapter 17

Canterlot Castle

Celestia was sitting anxiously in a chair by Lunas bed. Luna was still holding the golden bear in her hooves. Tears still fell down her face and her eyes were completely focused on the bear. The Doctors horn was glowing while touching Lunas for head with it. He then pulled back his eyes showing confusion.

Celestia leaned forward. "Is there anything you can do to help her?" Celestia asked desperately.

The Doctor shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with her. I've tried every medical spell I know of, but her readings show normal." He then shot the Princess an apologetic glance. "I'm terribly sorry your highness, but there's nothing I can do."

Celestia hung her head in defeat. Tears rolling down her face. "Its-its alright. You can go now." The Doc nodded. He was about to open the door before it was slammed open by Twilight.

"I got here as fast as I could. What's wrong?" The Doc had a sad expression on his face and simply nodded his head to Celestia. Twilight gasped before running over to her former mentor. "Celestia?" Her eyes then caught sight of Luna in the bed. "Celestia, what's wrong with Luna?"

Celestia lifted her head about to answer before a pink flash caught their attention. Cadence ran over and embraced her Aunt. "I got the letter. Please tell me what's wrong with Aunty Luna!"

Celestia raised her head. "I don't know."

Twilight shook her head in confusion. "What do you mean you don't know? You've lived for thousands of years how could you not know?!?" Twilight then started to hyperventilate. Normally Cadence would help Twilight with that, but now she's more worried about her Aunts.

"But, how did this happen?" Cadence looked up desperately at Celestia. Her Aunt sighed.

"Luna didn't raise the sun or arrive for breakfast. I went to her room and found her in that position in the bathroom except without the golden bear. She said. "Make the nightmares go away." Celestia looked down in defeat about to bawl her heart out.

Twilight had calmed down listened to what Celestia said. She then narrowed her eyes at the bear and trotted over to Luna's bedside. She put a hoof to her chin in thought. She looked behind her and saw that Cadence was trying to comfort Celestia. She turned her head back to the bear in Luna's hooves. She then reached out one hoof.

And at that moment the doors to the room burst open adpnd Twilight heard the grunts of the guards outside. She turned her head and saw the Puppet standing in the door the guards groaning on the floor. Cadence saw him and let out a terrified scream. Her horn lighting up she was about to blast him.

Twilight then ran in front her stopping Cadence from firing at him. "Cadence, it's okay. The Puppets a friend." Cadence then looked at her then the Puppet. Celestia then stood up.

"What are you doing here Puppet?" She asked him. The guards then got back on their hooves pointing their speares at the Puppet. Celestia then raised a hoof for them to stand down. They looked at her confused before returning back to their posts closing the door.

The Puppets gaze was focused on the golden bear in Lunas hooves. He slowly floated over to the bed. "When did this happen?" He asked.

"When she woke up. She said something about Nightmares." Celestia explained. The Puppet looked down. "Puppet what happened to my sister?"

The Puppet looked back at her. "A mistake I made."
