Depression

A beautiful day in Ponyville. Spike was sweeping up every inch of the castle. He heard hoovesteps getting nearer and nearer and then he heard a sudden happy voice that sounded familiar.

"Spike! I'm gonna be going out with the girls. Take care of the castle for me!" A lavender pony said as she dashed for the castle door,unlocking it before closing it.

Spike was alone. It was always like this. They forgot him at parties,picnics or any festivities. Twilight had never bothered to check up on Spike. She would always go out without Spike, never inviting him. Spike's friends. There are some times that He thinks they are just using him for comedic relief or if they need a SLAVE. Rainbow Dash would always pick on the dragon. Pinkie Pie would always never invite him to her parties.
Applejack would always turn down his offer of trying to help at the farm as soon as he started creating a mess. Fluttershy was, somewhat okay.
But Rarity was the worst. She knew that Spike had a crush on her, She took that as an advantage and used Spike. Spike's thoughts were broken as he heard knocking on the door. Slowly, he reached for the door and twisted the door knob to see three fillies staring at him.

"Hey Spike!" One of the fillies exclaimed who he later recognized to be Sweetie Belle.

It was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Spike zoned out for a bit, remembering all the fun and adventures that they had. The CMC would often recruit Spike on their adventures and mischief. They never used Spike and they accepted him for who he was. Spike's trance was broken as
Scootaloo spoke, "Hey Spike, wanna go out with us? We're going to get our Cutie Marks in Mountain Climbing!"

Although it sounded fun, Spike declined the offer, "Sorry girls, no can do. Twilight left and I have to stay guard."

The trio sighed and Spike thanked them for the offer. The CMC slowly walked away as they discussed about something that was out of Spike's ears. Spike then shut the door, and continued sweeping. Spike thought about it, does he really want this kind of future? Forever being used as a slave? Spike thought about it, if he was to run to Celestia, the Princess would send him back. Spike contemplated his actions and decided he had two options. One, run away to the wilderness and have a chance of dying, or Two, Suicide. Spike couldn't handle the amount of neglect he had to face. He remembered the bad times, Twilight's Birthday, The Grand Galloping Gala, Maud's Visit and many more. He was never invited to those events and many more.

Spike walked over to the kitchen, slowly pulling out a knife. Carefully, he place the sharp edge of the knife on his wrist. He had made up his decision. He knew if he ran, he could only go so far and then Twilight would catch him. Spike slowly cut his wrist as blood started to drip. He then went for the final blow as he could not take the pain any longer, he slashed his hand as quick as he could before collapsing on the ground, taking his final breathe before, his heart stopped beating. Unbeknownst to him, There were three fillies watching him outside the window.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahhh, What a wonderful evening isn't it girls?" Twilight exclaimed.

"You got it." A Cyan Mare answered.

There were 6 ponies laying on the grass. Seems like they were having a picnic. A pink pony, recognized as Pinkie Pie, chowed down the Apple Muffins brought by Applejack. Another pony with purple,curly hair was laying on her sofa. She seemed relaxed but anxious that her hair would get dirty. The Mane six was enjoying the picnic while three fillies were getting close to them.

Hoovestep were getting closer as they were running towards the Mane Six.

"GIRLS! OVER HERE!" A Sweetie Belle Shouted. The Mane six turned their heads to see three fillies running towards them. They were each plastered with faces of horror and nervousness as if they had witnessed a ghost.

"What is it?" Twilight asked?

"It's Spike! He-he-" Applebloom tried to say.

"He what?" Applejack asked.

"He sl-slit his wrists!" Scootaloo shouted.

The Mane six's face turned to horror. But they were skeptical at first.

"Scoots, this isn't a funny prank." Rainbow Dash blurted out.

"It isn't! WE saw him do it!" Sweetie Belle answered.

The Mane six were worried but skeptical still.

"Look, if you don't believe us then we'll prove it! FOLLOW US!" Sweetie Belle shouted as she started to run towards the castle. The rest followed her. Twilight's face was filled with horror and anxiousness.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the group began to reach nearer to the castle, a dark Aura has surrounded the castle. As soon as they entered the castle, chills went down their spine. They searched and went to the kitchen where they found a lifeless dragon body with a pool of blood below his body.

"No....WHY SPIKE WHY!?" Twilight screamed with sadness in her voice.

The Mane six couldn't believe their eyes. The dragon that they have known, was lying there, dead. The CMC Closed their eyes, not seeing the gruesome scene with a few tears down their eyes. Wile Twilight was crying at the dragon's body, Pinkie's mane deflated, Applejack covered her face with her hat, Rarity cried the same as Twilight, Fluttershy hugged Rainbow Dash that was letting a few tears dripping down. The whole scene was sad and depressing. Twilight had Spike as part of her life, with him gone, a large piece of Twilight's life was shattered.

Spike thought he was anonymous to other ponies as he was ignored and used, but in reality, Spike was a great assistant who helped ponies with their errands, Spike was a great friend who cheered ponies up, Spike was a great brother for acting like a family to random strangers.

Spike was a great dragon, Spike was a somebody.

Constructive criticism:

I enjoyed the fic but it felt waaaay too fast paced. Spike made that decision too quickly. Plus, I think it would take a lot more than a chopped off hand to kill somepony. Especially a dragon. And I don't know how he chopped through the scales so fast, they're pretty hard.

Also, a few words that are capalized and shouldn't be. A few sentences in the wrong paragraphs.

Instead of using ----- to switch the where-abouts of the story, type 'hr' (without quotation marks) in brackets ([ ]).

Try to make more sentences by using less commas and replace them with periods when you can. And don't let there be too many commas in a sentence, three AT MOST (not including lists).

You should also go more in depth in this story and give it some emotion.

---

All in all, the idea was fine but you didn't really bring it with the story. I hope I helped with this advice, keep in mind it was meant to be constructive criticism.

[SShonix]

7941695 Oh okay! Thanks for your advice, It will help me when I'm writing more stories!
