A/N: Sorry I've been away so long just my Computer had crashed hard.

The Hard-drive is shot and I'm unable to write at the moment I'm using my Ps3 to try to do some small updates., I'm not sure if this will work but if it does I will try to make some small updates till I can replace my computer.

That said please excuse my grammar and spelling mistakes in my fics for I'm unable to do a large-scale edit., I will fix any problems once I get a new laptop soon so please bare with me.

R&R If you can I'll work on updating small fics as my larger ones will have to wait.

Thank you, IRD.

" Come now child, don't be afraid. " The soft voice of a mare spoke through the darkness around Reese as her eyes snapped open all around her the abyss covered everything in a thick cloak.

Yet the voice was not the same as before it sounded gentle and caring as the one from her nightmares sent a chill down her spine, That wicked voice filled with such anger and those dark green eyes that cut through the shadows like a tempered blade. Even thinking about it caused her to grow into a panic and body to shiver in terror.

" I will not hurt you I promise. " The voice echoed around her as the small filly slowly began to walk through the shadows trotting deeper and deeper into the void her mind focusing on the voice.

With a soft flash of light suddenly the darkness faded around her the shadows forming around her into lush trees brimming with fruit , gazing down Reese watched in awe as soft grass-covered in dew spread across the ground the mere feeling of the grass against her hooves felt soothing and welcoming.

Blue hues gazed in awe as stars brighter than she ever could imagine filled the sky and the sweet scent of nature wafted through the sky, Reese felt her body tremble this place was indeed beautiful but what had brought her here and why?

Looking ahead she could see a large lake form from nothing the water shimmering from the soft moonlight above while she trotted over in silence her mind racing yet her heart at ease knowing in her soul that this place was safe.

" I'm glad you think this place is beautiful." A dark blue pony spoke walking out from behind her suddenly her mane flowing back elegantly a light blue yet transparent as what almost looked like stars sparkled within it.

This mare was not like other ponies she had met throughout her travels she had both wings and a unicorn horn, and she stood so tall thought the filly stretching her neck up to gaze at the slender frame of this angel with awe and a bit of fear.

" Don't be afraid little one my name is Princess Luna., I guard the night." Luna smiled down to the filly as she slowly took her seat at her side both looking out towards the lake in silence enjoying the scenery if only for a second.

" Princess? " Reese spoke in awe never knowing another Princess other then Twilight that AJ had told her about even existed.

" Yes a Princess one of four in this land. " Luna smiled as the filly slowly gazed over to her almost hiding her gaze keeping it low as if scared to lock eyes with her.

" Why are you here? where am I? " Reese spoke her voice cracking softly as her heart began to race once more in her chest the Princess nodding as she gave a quick glimpse to the sky above.

" Well as Princess of the night I'm in charge of everything the darkness touches which includes dream's." Luna smirked as the filly folded her ears back slightly knowing now that this calm paradise was only a dream.

" So this is my dream? " Reese asked her voice still cracking with a slight sense of fear as the older mare nodded along.

" Yes this is your dreamscape I've used my magic to calm your mind though so we could talk." Luna spoke her calm tone turning serious suddenly as her hues fell upon the small child.

" About what? " Reese asked the Princess sudden change in demeanor sending a small chill down her spine as the cool wind blew gently through her mane from the crisp night sky.

" Well as I had watched the dreams of my subjects in search of ways to calm their minds, Your nightmares called out to me from the abyss echoing with that of pain and something else." Luna sighed gazing down to the calm water of the lake her eyes sparkling in the light softly.

Reese did not like the way this conversation was going her heart filling with the sense of fear again dragging her down deeper and deeper into the darkness once more. Backing away from the lake shore the small filly gazed to the Dark Princess with sadness eyes glistening gently with tears her ears completely folded back.

" I'm here young one because I can feel the darkness you carry with you., The sorrow from days past linger within your mind tainting your soul and shattering your heart." Luna spoke standing up so tall and majestic as she spun around walking towards the small filly frozen in fear.

Reese could not move her hooves as the Princess towered above her such as a mountain to a flower below her blue eyes turning a pure white color before she lifted a hoof towards the child placing it softly atop her head. Wincing Reese could feel a surge of power rushing through her small body a burning sensation entering her mind.

Flashes of memories flooded back to Reese as she could see a large tower like creation in the distance cloaked in shadows, Gasping for air she could see a pair of honey colored eyes gazing to her in sadness. Reese felt tears run down her cheeks slowly as the dark figure of a mare started to take form before her.

" No...Please." Reese sobbed aloud feeling a hoof swipe across her face leaving a dark red mark a burning pain flushing over her small frame as her ears rang out in a high-pitched chime those horrible green eyes staring towards her like burning embers.

Everything began to spin around her as the filly gazed down to her hooves seeing her coat start to decay before her the brown color fading to a pitch black., Wincing in pain Reese could feel her mane start to wither the hair falling out as painfully fangs forcefully began to push out from her gums tearing away at the flesh.

" No! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! " Reese screamed at the top of her lungs pushing the Princess away from her as she toppled back onto the dirt roughly her body returning to normal as tears flowed down her cheeks softly.

" Hmmm. I'm sorry but I had to make sure for the sake of my subjects." Luna sighed sadly to the filly who curled up into a small ball sobbing mind and body filled with terror.

Luna felt her heart become heavy with regret the child trembled before her in a state of pure dread due to her actions., Yet she had to know and what she could see within the childs deepest fears was that of true nightmares.

" Child I..." Luna tried to speak only to hear a faint whisper from the filly sobbing before her.

" I just want to go home." Reese sobbed her thoughts thinking of AJ trying to remember the sound of her heartbeat to calm her troubled mind.

" Sleep little one for I promise to keep the darkness at bay, yet I fear that the true nightmare shall begin soon one day." Luna sighed her heart heavy with sorrow knowing now was not the time for the child to know what she had seen.

With a wave of her hoof the child was swept into a deep slumber as the shadows formed around her like a blanket to make sure she would have a night of peace before the child vanished from view Luna knew in her heart that soon the memories of her past would return and with them bring the choice that would alter her path forever.
