A life of a princess

What really happened?

Ever since Elsie's found out little about her mother's past she been dying on finding out what it is, she been thinking about those words that the old pony told her "Your father almost killed your mother" Elsie wanted to know what her father did.

"Mom!" shouted Elsie as she jump onto her mother's bed "Wake up!"

"I'm up!" said Lightning as she stood up in her bed

"Dad!" shouted Elsie as she hoof bump her father's head

"I'm here!" shouted Snow as he stood up like a jack in the box to see his daughter "Morning, Elsie"

"I have a question" said Elsie as she prepared herself

"Can it wait until breakfast?" Ask Snow as he tried to keep his eyes open

"No its important!" Said Elsie

"What is it?" ask Lightning

"Did, Dad almost kill you?" ask Elsie as she saw her parents reaction

Lightning and Snow look at each other in shock and wonder how in Equestria she found out about it.

"Where did you hear that?!" ask Snow as he was wide wake now

"This old pony ask me if your wounds all healed up" said Elsie as she pointed at one of her mother's scars "And then he told me that Dad almost got you killed"

"Is that everypony?" ask Snow

"Well grandma told me to ask you" answered Elsie

"It's something that happened when we were much younger" said Snow as he glances at Lightning

"It's not the best moment for us, my mother, aunt or cousin" said Lightning "It's something that we didn't plan on telling you"

"Well not this soon that is" Said Snow

"Why?" ask Elsie

"How about we have breakfast!" said Snow as he got out of bed "Lightning?"

"Sure lets!" said Lightning she also got out of bed and put Elsie on her back

"Alright" said Elsie as she just went along with her parents for now that is

While eating breakfast Elsie still didn't get her answer from her parents and was determine to get it no matter what.

"Mom is it true?" ask Elsie as she used her magic to pick glass of orange juice from the table

"What did your grandmother tell you?" ask Lightning as she glance at Snow

"Well she told me that you're the daughter of Radius and Arena" said Elsie as she look at her mother's reaction "And that they were the old rulers before you"

Lightning and Snow didn't say a word for the rest of breakfast or until Lightning broke the silences.

"Excuse me" said Lightning as she stood up from the table and walk out the room

"Where mom going?" ask Elsie

"I don't know?" lied Snow as he knew where Lightning was going or had an idea where she was going.

Lightning flew Canterlot to have a little discussion with her mother

"Princess" saluted a unicorn guard "Queen Lightning Flare of Cloud Kingdon is here to see you"

"Wonderful! Let her in" said Celestia as she stood up from her throne to greet her daughter

"Mom!" shouted Lightning as she motion the guards to leave them alone in an angry tone

"Lightning what's wrong?" ask Celestia in a worried tone

"You told Elsie about my past?!" demanded Lightning as she walk towards her mother

"What!" said Celestia in shock

"Elsie, knew that I'm Radius and Arena's daughter and she ask Snow and me if he tried to kill me!" said Lightning as she look at her mother

"I only told about your parents nothing else" said Celestia in her defence "She found out about Snow from an old pony"

"I never thought she would be curious about my past!" said Lightning in her surprise but was still angry that her mother told her daughter without telling her or at least ask.

"Lightning, she admires you and she wishes to become like you" said Celestia as she could clearly see it in her granddaughter's eyes.

"She does!" said Lightning in shock as she never release it

"Indeed my daughter she has always look up to you much more then this Snow you married" explain Celestia "I believe you should tell her she could react the same way as you did once you found out who you were" as she could clearly remember what happen even if it was thousands of years ago.

"I don`t know?" said Lightning as she thought of the pros and cons on telling her past

Lightning return to the castle and went to find her daughter and husband so Elsie could know her past.

"Snow!" said Lightning as she finally found her husband before her daughter

"Lightning, welcome back!" said Snow as he kissed her wife on the lips

"We need to tell Elsie of our past" said Lightning as she look at Snow's reaction

"Are you sure?!" ask Snow in a worried tone "She could hate me for the rest of her life!"

"Or she could also see you in a new light" said Lightning "She haves yours and mine both our personalities are in our daughter"

"Your right" said Snow as he smiled at her "Let's tell her"

Lightning and Snow went to find Elsie in her room

"You're really going to tell me!" said Elsie in an excited tone

"We are" said Snow as he glance at his wife

"Elsie, once we finish whatever you may feel afterwards you must never old any resentment against your father" said Lightning as she didn't want to be in the middle of a fight between daughter and father.

"Alright" said Elsie as she look at her father

"Long ago, Cloud kingdom once had a King called Radius and a Queen called Arena and they had a foal called Adelind" said Lightning as she sat down along with Snow "But one day they both went into a battle against an evil King named Sombra they seek out the help of the two rulers of Equestria"

"Princess Celestia and Luna!" shouted Elsie as she knew who the rulers of Equestria are

"Yes indeed" said Lightning as she smiled at her "They all fought very hard against the king but in order to save Equestria. The King and Queen decided to sacrifice themselves while the two princess defeated Sombra. The king and Queen died and left their foal alone for the world but fortunately the two princesses went back to the castle and toke in the foal"

"Who was that foal?" ask Elsie as she paid very good attention

"They didn't know her original name because the King and Queen forgot to mention it before they left so they called her Lightning Flare!" said Lightning as she looks at her daughter's face light up.

"That`s you mom!" shouted Elsie as she jump on the bed

"After many years of being raised by Celestia she one day met a stallion called, Snow Storm" said Snow as he continued the story were his wife left off.

Lightning and Snow continued with their long past and they finally arrived at that night, they both toke a deep beath. And started to tell their tragic past, Elsie listened very carefully and heard what her father did in order to save her mother but it was what he did who got her in trouble.

"And that's our story" said Lightning as she look at Snow with a worried face of what her reaction would be.

"Dad, what did you do?" ask Elsie as she look at her father

"I was trick my an evil pony" said Snow as he look at Lightning with sad and guilty eyes "He trick me to tell him the true identity of the lost princess"

"He was an evil pony, Elsie" explain Lightning as she held Snow's hoof "He wanted me to control a power that only the mares in our family can use"

"What is it, Mom?" ask Elsie as she wanted to know what this powers was that only the mares could use.

"I'll tell you when its time" said Lightning

"Elsie?" said Snow as he waited to his daughter's reaction

"You almost got mom killed!" said Elsie as she look at her father in anger "How could you!" as she ran out her room.

"Elsie!" shouted Snow as he tried to stop his daughter

"Snow, I`ll go and talk with her" said Lightning as she kissed him on the cheek and followed Elsie

Lightning found her daughter in the lounged and was hitting the sofa`s pillow

"Being mean to the pillow won't help" said Lightning as she walk in the room

"Dad, got you killed!" shouted Elsie as she continued on hitting the pillow

"If he did I wouldn't be at your side you right now" said Lightning as she sat on the sofa

Elsie ignored her mother for a few minutes and quickly turned around and embarrasses her mother wist in her hooves.

"I don't know what I would do if you were gone!" shouted Elsie as she tighten her grip around her mother's wist

"I won't leave that's the benefits of being an alicorn" said Lightning as she pick up her daughter in her hooves "I will always be by your side and of your father`s too" as she put her back onto the sofa.

"I love you, Mom" said Elsie

"I love you too, Elsie" said Lightning as she kissed her on the head "But do you still love your father?"

"Not at this moment!" said Elsie as she turn her head away

"You did break your promise to me" reminded Lightning

"I know but I could control myself!" said Elsie as she crossed her hooves

"I see but are you going to talk to him?" ask Lightning as she nudge her with her hoof

"NO!" shouted Elsie as she jump off the sofa

"Is that what you really want?" ask Lightning as she stood from the sofa

"I do!" shouted Elsie as she toke one of the pillows and punch it

"Your father didn't do anything that night" said Lightning hoping that it might help

"He got you ponynap!" said Elsie as she threw the pillow onto the ground

"He did but he did save me from your grandfather" said Lightning as she covered her daughter with her wing.

"Yea but you still got hurt!" said Elsie

"I did but that was my own fault" said Lightning "I did it to protect the ponies I love your father had nothing to do with it. So can you forgive him? Can you talk to him again?"

"Good night!" shouted Elsie as she jump off the sofa and ran towards the door

"Good night, Elsie" said Lightning as she knew that it would take some time to convince her daughter "Sleep well"

"Night, Mom" said Elsie as she ran out of the room and headed towards her room

Lightning walk out of the room and watch Elsie go into her`s she later went to find Snow who was at the throne room looking at the moon.

"How did it went?" ask Snow as he jump off his throne

"She more like my mother, aunt and cousin then I thought" said Lightning as she started to walk towards him "It's going to take some time a lot of time"

"Great!" shouted Snow as he followed Lightning "Your mother, aunt and cousin still hates me and would love to see me banish, jail or you leaving me and now my own daughter probably wants the same!a Where in Equestria dose she get that from?!"

"It might be from my father" smiled Lightning as she saw Snow`s eye twitch "Shi did tell me he was well like Elsie"

"Everypony hates me!" shouted Snow as he lowered his ears

"I'm sorry Snow we shouldn't have told her" said Lightning as she stop and kissed him on the lips "We should have waited until she was old enough to understand and I don't hate you"

"I know you don`t its just your mother, aunt, cousin, half of the kingdom and now our daughter!" shouted Snow as he waved his hooves in the air.

"One day they will forgive you" smiled Lightning as she tried to cheer him up

"I hope so" said Snow as he tried to smile
