I'm sorry this chapter took so long. I had no idea what was going to happen and then I just didn't feel like writing. To the reviews!
bluecatcinema: No, but eclipse has lied about everything for her entire life, so for her it's just second nature. *throws cake at you*
To the story!
(Eclipse's P.O.V)
Luna had lowered the moon when the door burst open, Princess Celestia standing in the doorway. "Luna we have received information regarding the empire. I must talk with you!"
The white alicorn then turned her gaze on me. "I want you to hear this. You lived there, I want your opinion."
I took a step back. "O-ok..."
Her horn glowed gold and the sun rose, faster than usual. When it was done, she turned and walked swiftly out of the room. "Come."
Luna and I exchanged a confused, yet concerned look and followed her.
Celestia walked quickly, the clomping of her hooves echoing off the corridors walls. She led us to a room where two guards pushed the double doors open. We hurried in and the door was closed. The room became uncomfortably quiet as we all settled around a table.
After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence that made me want to hide under the table, Celestia cleared her throat. "We've received information that King Sombra has sent spies to all of his enemies domains."
The white alicorn sent me a pointed look and I gulped, sliding towards the floor. I noticed in that moment, how her mane and tail were always flowing gracefully around her with or without the presence of wind of some kind.
Luna scowled. "Sister, are you trying to suggest that Eclipse is a spy of King Sombra? Because I find it extremely hard to believe that you would make such an accusation without tangible proof."
"I just find it convenient that a couple weeks after she got here, we heard about this spy business." She continued to stare at me. "I also find it interesting that your whole story for being here is that you came to get help for your sister, yet you have yet to make any attempt to talk to either of us about helping her."
I opened my mouth to reply, but was cut off by Luna. "She can't exactly ask for help when she's passed out half the time, can she?"
I sank even further towards the floor, trying to hide from the two feuding ponies. Celestia had gotten so uncomfortably close to the truth that it made me want to scream.
"Eclipse."
I peeked over the edge of the table, half expecting a beam of light to hit me in the forehead. "Y-yes?"
Luna looked at me. "Would King Sombra send spies all over Equestria?"
I looked away from her for a moment. "W-well, most likely not. He'd be really worried that they wouldn't come back."
"He could always use ponies they love as leverage." Celestia said. "Ponies such as your sister, for instance."
I grit my teeth then sighed. "You know what? I think I'll be going to Cloudsdale after all." I got up. "Thank you for having me here for as long as you did. Goodbye."
"Eclipse!" Luna snapped. "Don't go."
I turned to her. "I'm afraid that I must. It's clear to me that I've overstayed my welcome. If there ever was one in the first place."
Her eyes conveyed more sorrow than words would ever be able to. I walked over and hugged her. "Goodbye my friend. I'm sorry."
I turned and walked out of the room.
