Neo's Secret

Luna was brought back to the main room, it was more spacious and less crowded when all the luggage is taken to a different place. She was following behind the cloaked girl as they headed towards a small covered area, it had shelves and chairs, royal-ish colors and shiny oak table.

"Take a seat," the girl said.

Luna clenched her petite hands and sat down with an annoyed and unwillingness face, she looked at the girl who claims to know her lost sister. No one has seen Neo in over twenty years, most just thought she died or is in hiding, even Luna thought she died.

The cloaked girl took off her hood to reveal her pale and delicate face, there was a small scar on her neck and her eyes were the same as Luna's. A bright crimson color. With just a simple look, Luna could tell this girl was a beauty, compared to her, she was completely inferior to this girl. The girl's hair was a mix of pink and white, while her werewolf ears, pure gray. The girl moved the bottom of the cloak aside to reveal a gray tail.

"Do you remember me now, sister?" the girl spoke, her lips were small yet smooth.

Luna had a hard time comparing the two, she remembered Neo's features when they were young but there wasn't a scar on her throat. She looked at the girl before she started to realize something, it was the cloak.

That navy color, the bright blue heart crested into its center. Those were the same color that Celestia liked when she was a child, the same color that the Fenrir has.

"Did you make that cloak yourself...or for her?" Luna suddenly asked. She knew that Neo locked herself away and was working on a project but when she was finished, she just disappeared, only leaving a note.

'If you're reading this dear sister, I've left. I was working on a cloak for our dear Celestia but now she's gone, I went after her. To give her a cloak that I've made for her,' Luna recited the note that Neo left.

"You remembered the note, your photographic memory always surprises me," the girl smiled. "I really did make this cloak for her...now she's gone, forever."

"But she isn't, she is still...partly alive," Luna protested. "And, she can be brought back with a sacrifice."

"Fenrir isn't Celestia, she will never be like her," the girl shouted, her anger against Fenrir was unbelievable.

"But she is with Fenrir, she can bring Celestia back...with her dying in the end," Luna spoke quietly, her voice softened as she felt herself breaking into tears. She didn't want Fenrir to sacrifice herself just to bring back someone.

"Mind telling me why you're talking in here?" a sudden voice interrupted Luna's thoughts.

The two looked up and saw Professor Vic, Leviathan and Celestia in the back. Only Leviathan and Professor Vic seemed interested in the two but not Celestia, she seemed like something was on her mind.

"Oh Professor, I was just talking to Neo," Luna's excuse was believable if she acted as if they were just talking.

"Neo?" Celestia spoke.

"You know her?" Leviathan turned around to see Celestia's eyes wide open.

Celestia pushed past the two and confronted Neo, this time, she was much taller than Neo. The soul of Celestia was slightly moved, she was happy to see Neo. If she could, she would hug Neo but she could only be inside Fenrir's body.

Celestia hugged Neo, something that Neo wasn't expecting. Celestia leaned into Neo's ears: "She wants to give you a hug, Neo."

Neo was shocked to hear those words, was Celestia's soul actually inside of Fenrir's body?

"Celestia?" Neo couldn't stop her suppressed emotions for her sister. She followed Celestia until her death and now she follows Fenrir for a different reason.

Celestia shook her head and pulled away, she walked back to Professor Vic and Leviathan and looked away. Her hair hiding the emotions that the soul of Celestia was feeling.

"Celestia...Fenrir," Neo said, she quickly unbuttoned her cloak and lent it out. "I made this for her, I guess this is yours."

"No, it's not mine, keep it to yourself," Celestia said, this time, it was the words that the real Celestia would want. Nor Fenrir's. "Cherish it."

Neo looked at Celestia's dark beating eyes, she could see her dear sister in there. Happy, she was happy, smiling brightly. Neo pulled her hand back and looked down on the cloak she made for Celestia all those years ago. She fell to her knees and started to cry, she was finally able to release all the suppressed emotions she kept for all those years.

"Thank you...Fenrir," Neo whispered, she was finally able to put away the past and was able to move forward.

"There are still secrets she is keeping from you," the soul of Celestia spoke in Fenrir's mind. "She could have told you that she was watching you yet she didn't."

"Let her be," Fenrir said. "Your blood is still on my hand."
