Chapter 1:
I groan as I lay in my little basket, still trying to get every ounce of peace and rest as best as I can despite it being a Monday.
"Get Up!' I jump a bit as I hear a voice in my head say that.
"Five more minutes" I groan internally.
The voice in my head grows louder as it entices me to get up out of bed, leaving the warmth of my blankets to the cold wind.
Growls a bit and slowly begins to take the covers off of my scaley body. "Alright I'm getting up..." I grunt and slowly stretch which begins to release all the tension in my spine.
Sighs in relief as the pops and cracks of my back makes me feel a bit better and more relaxed, considering I'm barely getting any sleep from all the restless nights from my issues.
Slowly begins to sit up after that nice stretch and lifts myself up from the dead weight, making it feel like lifting a five-hundred pound statue from how exhausted I still am and not getting enough sleep.
"I know that Twilight has been concerned for me, I know that she can see the bags underneath my eyes and my eyes turn emotionless most of the time. But I just give her a fake smile and tell her that I'm alright and that there is nothing going on."
I get up with some hope that today wont be too tough for me like it normally is but I already know that its not going to change.
Slowly trudges my way out my door and into the small bathroom, which has a large-oval vanity for the mirror over the sink that was recently cleaned.
Walks over to the mirror and looks at myself, noticing all the things that are normal to me now but wasn't normal before.
Leans in a bit closer and notices that my eyes are visibly bloodshot and my spines are jagged and rugged.
Looks down at my claws and notices that they are untrimmed and sharper than a razor.
"guess ill trim them sometime soon" mumbles miserably.
Once im done looking at my miserable, depressed dragon self. I trace my hand over the toothbrush and pick it up.
"If im going to do something to improve myself at the moment then ill at least brush my teeth..."
Grabs the toothpaste tube and puts some on the toothbrush.
Slowly begins to brush my teeth as I try to ignore the heavy migraine growing more and more by the second.
Winces a bit everytime I get sharper pains in my head.
Once im done with the brushing, I rinse my mouth out with some mouthwash and water.
Hisses through my teeth loudly as I clutch my head and scream internally.
"This migraine is unbearable! oh please make it stop!"
"Spiiiiiike" The dark voice says again
"Stop it! oh celestia this is the worst migraine so far."
"I can make it stop spiiiike~ as long as you obey my orders, and my order is that you kill that unicorn twilight sparkle!" The voice says
"You obey and you don't get hurt" it says
Looks at the vanity again and begins to search through it for some asprin.
My eyes widen a bit as I see some headache tablets that should hold off a migraine for at least 12 hours.
Grabs the headache tablets and shakes out a few, then shoves them in my mouth and swallows without the water or anything.
"No! go away! you are not going to make me kill my best friend for anything whatever you are! and I don't care what pain I get put through. You will not make me give in to that!"
After a few moments of silence I hear a slight chuckle In my head, "We shall see, they all fail anyway but we shall see."
As the voice said that, it went away and the headache went away just as fast.
I sigh in relief and look into the mirror one more time before walking out the bathroom.
I slowly go downstairs and arrive into the kitchen to make some breakfast for twilight and I.
At that time Twilight comes downstairs with a brush and slowly begins to brush her bedhair into her normal mane style cut.
After a long yawn, Twilight looks at spike and gives a small smile then says. "Hello spike, good morning my number one assistant"
I give a fake smile as I look at her with breakfast being made. " Good morning twilight, how did you sleep?'
I see Twilight sit down at the kitchen table as she gives me a direct look into my eyes
Wow... its either I really didn't notice by chance or couldn't think straight but I can see bags underneath her eyes. Most likely from overnight studying.
"I slept alright I guess spike" Yawns, "I just stayed up late studying a spell about transfiguration into actual ponies with the voice and all"
"It really took a lot out of me spike but I feel like I can give it a better shot now."
I look over at Twilight and give a true genuine smile
"You can do it twilight, if anypony can do it then its you."
Twilights cheek reach a slight shade of pink that you can see even behind her purple fur.
"Aww thanks spike" Twilight trots over to the door
"Twilight! your cutie mark!" Spike points towards her flank as soon as he notices her cutie mark flashing in a series of purple stars
"Oh! im called for another friendship mission! ill see you when I get back spike. Make sure to do the choirs my number one assistant!"
Twilight runs out the kitchen
"I will twilight!" Spike shouts out as he sees Twilight's figure grow smaller and smaller until she disappears.
"sighs" I walk back into the kitchen and sit at the table all alone and I cant help but think of one thing
"Why is this happening to me?"
"Am I going crazy?"
Gets up from the table and walks back to my room
Sits down on the bed then plops down on my back and watches the ceiling in desperation and misery
"I feel like im losing my mind, if only I knew how to stop the voices inside my head. I don't know but ill just have to try and ignore them for a bit longer until I figure out what to do...."
I feel myself drift off into sleep and arrive in dreamland.
