"What do you mean by that?".

"Well, it happened a weeks ago........
........................................................................................................................................................................................................

I had just come back from the Crystal Empire, There had been a incident with a mare named Sunset Shimmer. I stayed there a few days waiting for Twilight to return from the other realm. I was worried for my pets. Angel could take care of them, but I felt safer with them in my care. When I walked to the door I saw it ajar, this freaked me out more then you know. I didn't know what would be on the other side of the door.

As I opened the door I was met with a horrible site. Angel was in the middle of the room, unconscious  with a lump on her head. I rushed over to her side and checked her pulse. She was still alive, and as I looked around I saw that everything was untouched. The animals were still here, even the one in the bloody mess. 

Thats when I realized " OH MY GOD A BLOODY MESS.". I checked for the pulse. Nothing. I began to cry, and when I looked closer I noticed something. There was no hide. The organs were green. It was a baby dragon.

"Oh god no, not you, not you.". I began to cry even more.

" Spike, my pore Spike. You were trying to protect them weren't you. Why? Why didn't you just leave? You went ahead of me, said you had something important to do. Why could you just go home?". Thats when I heard a noise behind me. "Who's there?".

I turned to look at those huge green eyes staring back at me. "Spike"

"Fluttershy, whathappenedYouscaredmesomuchISTHATYOURBLOOD!" he said in one one breath.

"I thought you were dead.".

"I thought the same.".

She was smiling giddily. 

"Are you kidding me?" I thought. "That was a terrible story. That wasn't sad, it even ended happily. The story itself was told in a terrible pace. Well, what did I expect.".

"What about you? What happened to make you act like this?".

"Why should I tell?".

"Well, I told you my tragic story.".

"Yes, and that was a very sad tale. I almost cried, but the thing is I don't know if I can trust you?".

"Why can't you, I've been very open with you?".

"Sorry, but the last time I let someone get to close to me, I was almost brutally murdered. So forgive me if I don't want to pour my heart out.".

"Well then Lets just finish this up".
