The Reason of Her Terrors


                                            "AHHHHHHH!!!"

                                            >"Calm down!" Nightmare Moon yelled in vain, as the volume of Silver Spoon's screaming increased by a couple decibels.

                                            >**"SILENCE!"** The Moon Princess shouted with an intense ferocity, one that crackled lightning in the dreamscape and illuminated her eyes for a split second.

                                            >Silver Spoon silenced immediately, but with a mix of terror and firm rebelliousness in her eyes.

                                            >"You need to be quiet. You're in grave danger."

                                            "Yeah, from you!"

                                            >"What?"

                                            "Don't act surprised, you keep sending those night terrors after me!"

                                            >Nightmare Moon's brown was confused for only a second before she furrowed them. "Is that what *she* told you?"

                                            "What?"

                                            >"We don't have time for this!" The mare snarled. "Just hold still." NMM lowered her horn.

                                            "Wa-wa-wa-wait! What are you doing-"


                                            >Sil only managed to take a single step back before a flash of light emitted from NMM's horn. However, oddly enough, she didn't feel anything different.

                                            >Blinking twice, NNM flashed her horn again.

                                            "Hey! My eyes!" Silver Spoon rubbed her eyes. "Stop that!"

                                            >"Why isn't it working?"

                                            "What isn't working? Just what was it you're trying to do?!"

                                            >NMM grumbled to herself. "I was *trying* to erase your memories."

                                            "What?!"

                                            >"You weren't supposed to defeat that Nightmare Force. You were supposed to have your fears and memories of the nightmare eaten by it."

                                            "What?! What the hell are you saying?"

                                            >"Nightmare Forces feed off the insecurities and fears of ponies, then feed off their memories before they wake up."

                                            >NMM stepped forth, lowering her head to Silver Spoon's eye level. "The reason these Nightmare Forces are going after you is *because* they all see the memory of you killing one of their kind. They see you as a *threat!* And if I can't remove that memory, they will continue to go after you!"
