//------------------------------// // Twilight's Sorrow // Story: New Moon // by MistyShineStar //------------------------------// Twilight ran, unsure of where she was going or where her hooves would take her. But she didn't care where she ended up. Right now, she was focused on her friends, the ones she loved and cared for, gone.... As of instinct, she ran to Golden Oak library. She bursted through the gaurds and plummeted through the door and into the library. Spike, who had been helping the gaurds, was knocked over by Twilight. Slowly standing up, he murmured, "Twilight?" Twilight did not pay the least bit attention to the dragon calling her name. She instead ran into her room and sprawled across her bed, bawling into her pillow. She felt like a little scared filly. But there was nothing she could do to fix this- she needed to remain loyal to the princess and keep her wings, but she would miss her friends so much... Spike knocked gently on her door, and called out in a worried tone, "Twilight? What are you doing here? What's wrong?" She answered with a loud sob. "Leave me alone!" He opened the door and sat next to Twilight, awkwardly patting her back. "Twi, what's going on?" She looked up at Spike with a flash of sadness and confusion in her eyes, and she said, "Oh, Spike! What can I do? I love my friends so, so much, and I would miss them so bad, but I have to remain loyal to Celestia and Luna. Equestria needs me, Spike, but so do my friends." The young drake gave her a look of sympathy, and said, "Well, Twi, this is something you need to talk to the princesses and your friends about. I can't help you much with this." Twilight looked dissapointed, but she quickly regained posture. "You're right Spike. I'm going to talk to my friends about this."
