16 Reliving Aren't Nightmares...

Celestia's body shot back up, her body under severe pressure. Her mind, however, was clear, calm like the sea. She glanced around the place she was at, Luna still at her side and asleep, she lifted her hands and placed them in front of her. They were shaking, numb to the vein.

Celestia placed them back down, she then realized she wasn't in her sleeping bag. She was in a bed, the sheets were soft and warm like someone personally washed them not long ago. the covers were soft and fluffy like a wolf's fur. Waaaaait.....

'This isn't material from wolves, aren't they?' Celestia immediately imagined, she shuddered from the thought that this cover that was so soft and fluffy could possibly be from one of her children.

"Mmmm.." Luna groaned as she was starting to wake up, her body was sore from being in a weird position for a long time. She looked up and saw Celestia awake and somewhat lively.

"Sis, you're awake!" Luna immediately lunged towards her sister and held her close.

Celestia couldn't help but smile weakly at her sister, she wondered how long she been out and how long Luna has been at her side. There was no way that she was out for a long time, right?

"I should tell Leviathan that you're awake, apparently Professor Vic has something to tell you," Luna told Celestia, she released Celestia as she smiled brightly towards her sister.

"Wait, where am I?" Celestia quickly asked before Luna got out of her chair, she tried to reach out for Luna but her body was in complete pain.

Luna grasped Celestia's arm, she didn't think that her sister would push herself since she just woke up not long ago plus Celestia doesn't have anything that is supporting her back. Luna carefully laid Celestia down, her soft hands brushing against Celestia's hair.

"Don't worry about where you are," Luna assured. "This is the Professor's office slash room, weird I know but don't worry."

"B-But..."

"No buts, just rest," Luna said before giving Celestia a kiss on the forehead, she beamed at Celestia.

Celestia sighed quietly before closing her eyes and drifting off before she knew it, she was deep in her own world.

"Wake up sleepy head, you have someone who would like to see you," a voice crept into Celestia's mind, it wasn't the usual soft yet vocal voice that Luna has. It was more like a firm, demanding yet gentle voice.

Celestia couldn't think straight with her mind thinking of all the people that had a voice like that, she could only oblige and open her sleepy eyes to the bright light of a chandelier in her face. That wasn't there, was it? She quickly covered her eyes from the heavenly light and slowly rose her body.

"Easy now, you're body is still weak," spoke the same voice. Celestia turned her head to the speaker only to see Leviathan sitting in the chair that Luna was once in.

'Huh? What happened to Luna?' Celestia asked herself, her mind then changed into different scenarios of what happened to Luna. The good and bad.

"Well then, that was surprisingly quick," spoke another voice, this time Celestia knew who it was. It was her sister, Luna. "Even I have trouble getting her to even open an eye up before she falls back asleep."

"Grr, just because I close my eyes doesn't mean I'm asleep Luna," Celestia moved her body up as she started rubbing her eyes. She turned her head to the left and saw Professor Vic standing there, silently.

"Professor?" Celestia started the conversation with the professor but she didn't expect an answer immediately.

"Your nightmare, what was that about?" Professor Vic asked, her voice was stern and rather firm.

"What do you mean?" Celestia inquired, she didn't understand what Professor Vic was saying and to be honest, she wanted to know who Professor Vic is.

"Sis, they're talking about that night terror you keep having at times," Luna informed, her face looked as if she was humiliated.

Celestia tilted her head a little towards Luna, what happened when she was out? She needed to know whether it was now or years later, she will protect her only connection to the real Celestia.

"Something personal that you shouldn't have dived into," Celestia spoke before getting out of the comfortable bed and headed behind Professor Vic. Her back facing Celestia. "I'll say this, I'm not someone you want to have as an enemy."

With that, Celestia left the room but not without hearing: "Reliving aren't nightmares, they're just memories that you want to deal with. It looks as if you can't deal with a simple lost."
