Whispers of instinct



Journal entry #1


My name is Spike. I'm twelve years old. I am the number one assistant of Princess Twilight Sparkle, and I live in Ponyville. I am a dragon and I'm afraid, so afraid. I'm scared even now as I write this.

I should probably explain why I'm so scared. 

Ever since Tirek's attack I have been hearing things in my head. They're just distorted whispers but they been getting worse. It usually happens at random; They're too quiet and distorted for me to make them out but they scare me. I asked Twilight to magically scan me to see if this was my body or inner magic's reaction to tirek's magic, but I didn't tell her about the whispers. I couldn't tell her. She'd probably think I was crazy and would  just lock me away in a psych ward somewhere....

I lied, saying that I just wanted to make sure my dragon fire wasn't affected by being drained. I don't know what I was hoping to find, I just thought knowing what caused this might help me stop it. My heart nearly stopped when she said she found nothing.

I am so scared... I don't know what to do. I can't tell anypony, they would just think I'm crazy or that I'm lying to get attention, so I've decided every time I hear these whispers I will write it down in this journal. I just hope I can figure this out.


Journal entry #2


It's been three days since the whispering started, and it's getting louder and more distinct. I still can't tell what it's saying but I have noticed one thing: it only happens when I'm around other ponies; never when I'm alone.

But sometimes it will make a distinct sound, like it's trying to say a word but it's struggling with the distortion. Being a hushed whisper, it's hard to make out, but this is what I have noticed so far. It made this noise when I was pranked by Rainbow and Pinkie. I heard the whisper make a  "reeeeeaaaahhhvvvaa" sound and when the CMC asked me for help with another one of their escapades. I think it was for novel writing, but I can't remember exactly. It was hard to focus because the whole time I heard the whisper making these noises. The first one sounds like "mmmmouunthaa," the second one, "cccccclllmmmmiiiaaa," and the last one, "pppprrrrtttcccaahh. I'm not sure why it was making these attempts at... words, I guess you could call them. It only makes these noises around the three crusaders. Around everypony else, it's just indistinguishable distorted whispers.

I really think i need to tell somepony this im just so scared not just because of the whispers but well they believe or will they say im crazy or

will they brush me aside just like those six whores always do and just leave until they need me to be there sla- ....
were did that come from i think thats enough for this entry im just going to hide this journal and go to bed im im exhausted.
