Kaoru.
Younger's P.O.V.
My black cloak wraps around my body leaving an open space in the front which is small but I can open it up more if I want, my cloaks hood is not on my head instead its draped behind my head like a sweater with the hood not on the persons head. My ginger hair that reaches my shoulders has more draping over my face on the left side of my face, looks dim and flops down not flowing in the breeze but merely fluttering very softly making it nowhere near as flowing as a true princess's hair should be. My hair flops instead of flowing in the breeze like a true princess's hair should be doing in short. My amber eyes are also dim along with my face giving me a sad look and it also makes me look like I'm someone who stays in the shadows. I stand off to the sides as everyone crowds around my slightly older twin sister leaving me to be on my own even though this is supposed to be a party to celebrate the ruling of both of us….. Not like I should even get my hopes up anyways.
The sun loving people of our kingdom never notice me and they only care about my older sister with the sun she rises and sets.
No one but myself has ever cared about or even gave a second thought to my night and the moon I rise and set.
I am always alone. I notice my sister coming over to me and she looks happy ignoring the fact that her shadow falls onto me casting me into darker darkness as time goes by.
She is wearing her favorite spaghetti strapped white dress that goes to half way down her thighs with the outline of folded feather wings sown onto the back and a little on the sides in black thread. She also is wearing her white boots that almost reach her knees that have runner like bottoms. Her ginger hair that reaches her shoulders has more draping over her face on her right side, glows in the light and flows softly but just right in the breeze like a true princess's hair should. She also has on no crown like me as we both know the crowns are not needed at the moment. Her bright and happy amber eyes look at me not noticing what truly is happening to me. "Guess what!" She says excitedly. "There is no one as lovely and as beloved as I. Isn't it great!" She does a happy twirl.
"Yeah... sure…..great." I say in my unhappy soft tone but she can hear my voice fine.
"I know right! I got to go! Seems more people have come for me! Have some fun sis!" She trots happily off and the people love her giving her so many compliments, praise and glory.
I walk outside with my back turned to those who wouldn't have cared about me even if I screamed my heart out. I stand on the balcony and I lean against the railing putting my arms on top of it. I look up to the night sky with my moon at its fullest, not a small circle in the sky but it's bigger and more pretty than the rumored small circle people think it should be. I love my moon like this and I don't care what they say about it. I sigh softly. "My beloved moon. You are the only one that has ever been there for me. Shining your moonlight down on me as I cry alone during the night." I smile softly thinking about how that happens whenever I cried at night ever since I was born.
The moon is under my control but it is my only friend and it makes me smile during the hardest of times. The moon is my one and only friend I will most likely ever have.
My sister has many friends and people cheering for her all the time while I am left all alone being disliked.
They don't like my night saying it has no purpose than to hide away the spectacular sun and that it shouldn't even exist.
I don't know what my sister thinks of my night but never has she ever given me any good words about it. I shake my head softly and I sigh once more wondering what it be like if I was the only ruler brining about only the night. I think about what it would be like to not be pushed aside to get to my sister and to not be ignored or dismissed as bringing something useless so apparently I must be as useless according to them. I look down to the ground below as my eyes begin to water and blur. I let a few tears fall as I thought about how everyone loves my sister so much while ignoring me even though I help keep the harmony of the world.
My moon sends a beam of moonlight landing right on me making me look up to it as it stays there always with me during the nights no matter what happens.
I sniffle and rub one of my eyes to try to clear away my tears. "Thank you my friend." I say reaching a hand towards it for a few seconds like I am resting my hand on it when my hand is just resting on air. I close my eyes and when I open them again I lower my hand back down to where it was before.
"Hey! It's time for the sunrise!" A loud male yells making everyone behind me cheer.
I feel my sister look at me as if reminding me I need to lower the moon and to do it now so she can bring about the dawn. I look over my shoulder with a cold look knowing that even my sister will never truly love me. I look back to my moon as she doesn't pay attention to me just waiting for the moon to set. I close my eyes concentrating my powers to move my moon and I raise my hand up towards my moon making my magical glow that appears around my hand glows dark blue as I use my powers even moving my hand down to get the moon to move to set. I open my eyes to watch as my beautiful moon moves down setting to make way for the sun. "Until tomorrow night my friend." I say to my beloved moon as it disappears below the horizon. I then stop using my powers and lower my no longer glowing hand back to its original position.
The sun comes out and all those up in the town including those behind me in the room with my sister cheer as the sun makes its way into the lower part of the sky to start the day.
I turn away from the sun hating it as it's the reason my lovely moon is hated. I pull my hood over my head so it casts a shadow over my eyes. I head inside walking fast making my cloak shimmer in the air behind me like a cape blowing gently in the breeze, revealing my attire underneath that consists of a black long sleeved shirt, tinted blue jeans and black boots similar to my sister but darker and black. I pass by everyone and I head to the doors to the room stopping there to glance back. My eyes giving a cold glare that sweeps over everyone there letting the shadows, that were cast over my eyes, come out of my eyes to do so. I then let the shadows of the hood fall over my eyes as I turn leaving the room wandering down the hall feeling my anger spill out. "What am I doing wrong? Why won't anyone give a care about me and my night?" I hadn't gotten too far from the room when…..
"Wait!" My sister calls out from behind me.
I stop and glance back at her over my shoulder narrowing my eyes. "What do you want?" I growl.
She stops a few steps behind me with a look of worry and hurt. "Sister….. Is the fact that no one likes your night and that they sleep through it really the reason you're so upset?"
I turn away from her. "It doesn't matter." I lie to her keeping my anger out of my voice. "Just leave it alone."
"No!" She says sharply. "You and I both know I can tell better than that! You are upset about it!"
I spin around to face her and I snarl at her. "You should be getting back to your precious sun loving friends!" I stare into her eyes as my tears come back. "So get going." I resist to turn my head to the side in anger so I can successfully make a point.
"But Sister…" She reaches a hand out towards me but I slap it away.
"I said to get going! Leave me alone! You will never understand! All you know is your precious day!" I slam my left foot down on the floor. "So why don't you take your oh so pretty little self and leave me alone!" I snap in rage.
She takes a few steps back in surprise as her shocked eyes search my face along with my eyes.
I harden my glare and I stand my ground even though she's trying to do something to make it look like she cares about me when I can tell she doesn't!
She was never there for me! She claims to love me but when has she ever shown it!?
Never!
She walks a little towards me as if wanting to try to hug me to try to help comfort me. "Sister. We can go and talk about this. Away from everyone else. We can even go out for a walk if you really want to maybe even watch the moon rise together. Just us and no one else. Come on what do you say?" She tries to offer a smile.
I put my hands on her shoulders and shove her away from me making her stumble backwards. "Forget it! Just go back to those you really care about!" I snap.
Once she regains her balance she stares at me with pleading and caring eyes but I refuse to let myself fall for that. "Sister. I just want-"
I cut her off. "No! You don't! You just want to make it look like you care! Get out of here! Get away from me!" I almost scream at her as more tears fall down my face.
She brings a hand to her chest by her heart as she stares at me. "But I really do care." She says but she has never ever shown that she really does care about me. She instead likes to hang out with those sun loving subjects that we were supposed to share and be loved by them together… if she's just noticing now then she really doesn't care about me just like everyone else in the horrible place!
My moon is the only one that truly understands and cares.
She isn't very smart or caring if she is just noticing my pain and suffering now after all these years! She should have shown she cares years ago if she does care about me!
I shake my head. "Don't give me that! I don't even know why I'm wasting my time trying to talk to the day's lover. You have no wisdom of the night. You will never be able to connect with me." I spin around and continue on my way this time running away from her. My cloak waving behind almost like a super hero cape thanks to the breeze created as I run. I wipe my tears away not letting anymore of them fall down my face.
She watches me, I can feel her gaze on me, as I run away until I am out of her sight.
"Maybe….." I say when I slow my running to a stop noting that I am a good distance from the room I left along with my sister. I am almost at my room which is a good distance from the room I had left. "Maybe am I going about it all wrong? Maybe if they won't care about my night and me then….. Then I'll make them. I'll find a way to make them love me and my night." I smirk and I feel a chilly darkness inside me that lets me know that it too has been growing deep inside me along with my pain. "I will make them if they won't do it on their own. I'll show them all the true beauty of my night making them love me and my night. My moon will finally be cheered for and begged to be brought out. Maybe it will be nighttime forever." I chuckle. "I will think of a way to do so. For there is only room enough for one princess and that princess shall be me!" I race down the halls towards my bedroom with the smirk still on my face.
My sister didn't even come to check on me or even follow me not that I cared.
A few nights later…..
No one's P.O.V.
"The sun is to be raised!" A woman yells getting a bunch of people rushing out to try to see the sun rise that is to come.
"Set you stupid moon! Hurry up!" A boy calls glaring at the moon that remains in its spot in the sky.
Everyone waited and waited even the ones sleeping had woken and come out by now…..but the moon stayed where it is not making room for the dawn and sun to come.
Mummers begin to sweep through the crowd as they begin to wonder what's going on.
Everyone in the town that holds the castle of the two sisters go to stand in front of the castle yelling for the younger to lower the moon as they stare at the balcony that the beloved princess of the day stands to look at her kingdom and to make announcements.
The younger comes out to the balcony with the hood of her cloak off. She glares down at the people who are yelling angrily at her to lower the moon then pausing to wait for a response or for her to do as told. She narrows her eyes at them. "You will love my night, my moon and me! Even if I have to make you!" She yells out to the crowd as they stare at her in shock and confusion as this and nothing like this has ever happened before. Her voice is dark with evil and anger. She smirks slightly showing her white teeth. "The sun will never rise again and the night will last forever!" She laughs at the peoples shocked faces.
"Sister!" The eldest speaks up stopping the youngers laughter.
The younger turns to her sister who stands a little away from her on the balcony where all can see the two.
The oldest stares in sadness and in pleading at her younger sister. "Stop this nonsense. This is not how you go about doing things. Please lower the moon and the people will gain a liking to you. Please do this, don't say such terrible things."
"Terrible!? Lower the moon!?" The younger snarls with a glare full of hatred. "You have no right to talk! You don't know how things work!" She looks back to the people watching the scene unfold then looks back to her sister, the whole time her eyes are cold with evil and hatred. "I have so much strength inside of me that you don't even KNOW what I could do! If the world isn't going to love me then I'll teach it to fear me instead!" She shouts angrily almost making the place shake with power. "There is only room for one princess!"
The oldest's eyes widen a little as she listens to her sister.
The younger looks so dark and so evil but at the same time so sad and so upset. She raises her voice until she is screaming her last sentence. "And that princess. Shall be me!" She slams her foot down onto the ground as hard as she can in anger.
Below her a darkness comes out and surrounds her in a ball like form for a minute then seems to have been broken like a small explosion sending pieces of darkness around her making it fade as they move away from her.
Now standing in the youngest place is a wicked dark younger sister from the night and moon that is created by the younger sister's anger and bitterness.
She now looks different by the fact she looks a little older- taller plus grown up- than before, her hair still ginger but a shade or two darker like it has a shadow over it and flowing in the breeze like how it should as a princess but it's a dark princess's hair. Her once amber eyes have narrowed like a cat and gained a red glow to them. Her black cloak has changed to tinted purple with grey sparkles that look like stars, not to mention it constantly flows to the side like in a breeze rather than just draping over her body like it used to when it was plain black. Her clothing has also changed into a darker outfit. She is now wearing a long sleeved dark blue almost black with sky blue dragon flames looking designs sown into the shirt that line all along the ends of the shirt that open for her neck and waist. On the sleeves of the shirt is not only outlined with small blue flame like designs but on the front part of the arms it is like the dragon blew fire onto the front part of the sleeves as if the frozen in place burning flames make its way up to a centimetre past her elbows. Her pants are still tinted blue jeans but they are now designed with grey crescent moons on her hips. Her shoes have changed to shoes that are like flats with the sky blue like flame design sprouting from it on the front reaching up to a centimeter past her knees. She also now has a small dark blue crown on her head with a moon carved into the front since the crown is big enough to still be seen by others, at the right distance, just still a small crown. She smiles showing her now sharp teeth as she laughs with pure evilness. She looks to her older sister smirking. "I wonder how you'll enjoy your imprisonment in your dear sun. Former princess." Her voice has turned darker more like it has a darkness getting into her voice like an accent. She glances back to the people who can only watch in horror. "Remember this day! For it was your last. The night shall rule forever!" She does a quick evil laugh throwing her head back then once done laughing she lowers it to its correct position. She turns back to her sister. "Prepare to be sealed away in your sun!" She gathers darkness that the color looks like her old black cloak but in two flowing snake like clouds coming from below her feet that she controls making it spiral around her going up to her hands as she raises her hands side by side above her head then once all the flowing cloud has gathered there she quickly moves her hands down to reach out in front of her pointing her palms, which have a slight dark glow to them, at her older sister.
A beam of darkness is shot out of her palms heading straight to the older.
The older quickly flashes her hands out in front of her, a glowing white light surrounds her hands and shoots a beam of glowing white light hitting the beam of darkness head on.
The two beams push each other seeming equal for a few seconds then the darkness beam starts pushing its way to force the beam of light to be pushed back to its source.
The darkness beam knocks the older sister back making her skid across the ground on her side till her back hits the balcony's edge wall that is high to not easily be missed but its short enough that it comes to the oldest and the younger sisters chest's when standing.
The oldest wants her younger sister and not the monster that now stands in her place.
The younger one laughs. "With this power I will rule the world of eternal night!" She prepares an attack that'll send her sister to be sealed in the sun….. However the oldest isn't there. "She got away! No matter she has no power here what so ever. I rule now." She says shrugging it off. She spins and jumps down landing on her feet on the ground in front of the people. "My subjects you will now praise me! For I am the true princess! The princess that has always brought you this lovely night that you will now forever live in! The night you never appreciated! Well? Now do you see it is more beautiful than any day and the moon is lovelier than any sun?" She smirks looking at the horrified and sacred faces of the people that always cheered for her sister ignoring the youngest one. "Ah." She sighs in content before speaking up again. "All the power I have! Bow down to your princess!" She says with a tone that tells people she just wants power and such and that you must give it to her or else.
Knowing that they don't want to find out what the or else is they get ready to bow down but the doors to the castle slam open making the oldest appear once again.
"Sister stop this now and we can forget about it. You should know better than to do this to them!" The oldest has one hand behind her back as she tries to reason one last time with her sister. "Please stop this and neither of us will have to do anything we will regret."
The younger one snarls turning to her sister. "Forget it! I shall inflict my pain onto these people as they helped cause it along with you! Nothing will stop me from ruling this world in an eternal night!"
"I didn't want to have to do this." The oldest one says sadly as she brings the hand out from behind her back to show a gold tiara with a pink rectangle jewel on the center of the front of it that's the only thing other than the solid gold like look that has no designer holes like seen in the ones in shops, But it looks like someone took a full crown and chopped it down to a tiara only leaving one jewel. "I will protect my subjects but I beg that if my younger sister is still there that she comes back. I love you little sister." She places the tiara on her head. "I wish you had listened and stopped before it came to this." She really doesn't want to do it but she knows there's no other choice and no time to even attempt to think of another one.
"I am the younger sister! The one that has always been ignored and uncared for even by you! I am Princess Nightmare!" The youngest laughs quickly. A tiara? Ha!" The youngest rolls her eyes. "A stupid tiara will not help you here."
"It's no ordinary tiara. It holds mother's powers even her life that is powered up in it making it very powerful so as I use this I will add some of my own power to defeat you! Hopefully turning you back to the sister I love." The oldest uses her light beam again and the tiara's jewel glows adding to the beams power. She fires the beam at her sister as the youngest uses her beam of darkness that is at first equal to the oldest's beam but the beam of darkness is pushed back to the youngest carrying the beam of light with it.
"NNNOOOOO!"
