"Wait, are you trying to seduce me? You're moving way to fast for me. Get your hands off me!"
He got off my back and looked confused.
"I only... I didn't...", he stammered.
I stood up and moved towards the door. "I think I should go now. We will talk about this tomorrow."
"Wait, please, I didn't want to do anything..."
The door closed behind me. I hated to use her stupid voice, but it made it all so easy. Next, I only needed the forbidden book and she would be gone forever. The library was my next destination.
----0_0----
I was flabbergasted, what had happened? I sat down on the bed.
I thought Luna wanted me to move further... What could I do to make this right again? I laid down and thought about good ways to apologize to her.
...
'Alex help me'
I heard a voice in my mind, like before from Nightmare Moon, but it was different this time.
'Alex help me, please'
"Luna, is it you?"
'Nightmare took over my body, she is on her way to the library.
She is searching for a book to destroy me'
"So your sudden change of mood... ok, I'm on my way."
I ran as fast as I could.
----0_0----
I had to remind myself to be as quiet as possible in my search for the book. Celestia would be hard to kill if she suspected anything and I couldn't take her by surprise.
I walked to the library entrance. A guard stood in front of it.
"Oh princess, so late around here?", he asked.
I had no time for small talk.
"Is the library locked?", I asked him.
"No princess, but I'm guarding it, nopony could..."
"gOOD fOR mE."
I magically sealed his mouth and nostrils and lifted him from the ground, he struggled helplessly in the air. After he had gone limp I waited some extra seconds, just to be sure, I will choose new guards anyway. I entered the door to the library and tossed him into a corner.
I searched the walls and found what I was looking for, a wall without a shelf. I approached it and focused my magic to push against it, slowly but with much force. After a few seconds bricks gave in and the bricked entrance reappeared. Once the dust had settled, the smaller room behind it showed about six shelves of books.
"tIME tO mAKE tHIS bODY mINE."
----0_0----
I ran through the corridors toward the library. My heart was racing.
'Hurry'
The library came in sight and it's door was open. I slowed down my pace and tried not to be heard. Once I entered I saw a guard laying in the corner, it wasn't hard to see that there was no life left in him. The light of burning lamps came through a forced opening in a wall at the end of the room. I sneaked close enough to see through.
I saw Luna, no Luna's Body, possessed by Nightmare Moon. She stood behind a growing pile of books as she searched for the one she wanted. She noticed me within seconds.
"yOU aGAIN? dIE yOU fOOL!"
She wasn't stupid, instead of using magic directly aimed at me, she shot the books toward me, with the speed of cannonballs. I jumped to the side to evade them, while they blasted holes in the shelfs behind me.
I peered around the corner and brought my head quickly back again. A book impacted where my head was just before.
'She searches more books while she keeps you under fire'
I knew there was no time for any other plan than a frontal attack, so I just hoped for the best as I ran around the corner. To my surprise she didn't throw any more books, she just stood there smiling as I ran towards her.
I had to knock her out somehow, I had... why was she still smiling as I ran towards her, she couldn't use her magic directly against me.
I closed the distance. I was close as she lowered her head...
... and rammed her horn through my chest...
... I felt it exit on my back.
I screamed in pure agony.
'Alex!'
"i cAN uSE mY hORN tO kILL yOU wITHOUT aNY mAGIC yOU fOOL!"
She turned her head from side to side to enlarge my wound. I felt the blood running down my body.
...
But I felt something else was running through my body as well. I grabbed her horn as strong as I could in front of my chest and behind my back.
"wHAT aRE yOU tRYING... wAIT, wHERE gOES mY eNERGY?"
I grinned while blood filled my mouth.
"Your energy is magic stupid... and you know what my body does to magic."
Her eyes widened in fear. She rammed me against the shelf again and again to lose my grip. I felt my arm break behind my back, it lost its grip and flapped around while she continued, but I held on with the other arm.
Her attacks got weak, but so did I.
We feel to the ground together. Her head red because of my blood.
"yOU sTUPID bASTARD, hOW cOULD ...", her head went limp,I felt all the energy was drained.
Only a moment later her eyes opened again.
"Alex, no please!"
Tears streamed down her face as she carefully removed her horn. Blood continued to stream from my chest and started to form a puddle underneath me.
"In sorry Luna...", it was hard for me to speak. "I wished we had more time together. I will love you forever."
"No, you can't die!", she screamed. "I will heal you!"
She shot different beams at me, but of course, nothing could do anything.
"It's... it's no use... you know that.", I told her using all my strength for it. "... please... just hold... me a last time..."
I began to lose any feeling in my limbs. I felt so sorry for leaving her like this...
She wrapped her hooves around me, crying.
"We will... always... have... our sp... special... connection...", I whispered.
...
...
...
"Our connection!", she screamed. "Your body resists magic, but your mind doesn't, if I bypass it through your mind..."
Her horn lid up like a thousand suns, and I felt a tiny warmth coming from my head and spreading trough my body.
Something happened... slowly...
bit by bit,
but I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore...
I couldn't...
...
...
I guess I have to add another tag to the story...
do I really have to? It is just in a tiny part of the story? Do I have to add the "gore" tag if there is any blood in it,
or if the central part of a story is about it?
No need for a gore tag. It would apply if you were to describe the entirety of the wound in itself.
There wasn't anything to graphic of him becoming shish kebab.
7217137 Yay!!! Joy!!!
Nothing like knowing about a sequel to ease your mind about a character on the brink of death. :/
That's gotta hurt . . .
I guess it was for shadowing when he said Celestia had no reason to be afraid of me, because she could impale me, with three quick steps, on her very long and pointy horn.
