//------------------------------// // This Fourteenth Entry // Story: The Diary of Spike the Dragon // by Wrangle Wolfe //------------------------------// Twilight is hurting me. She got rid of my friends. She told them they had to leave. But I didn't want them to. She made me take them away. Then she takes me to this scary world that's so dull. Whenever I tell her the voices are gone, she looks a little relived. Why is she so mean to my friends? They never hurt anypony. She says they're hurting me. But they're so nice. I love it when they come back to me. Sometimes I lie to her and tell her that they're not there, but Twilight knows better and she still makes them go away. I feel so cold and alone when they're gone. Why do they have to leave? I miss my friends. They let me talk to them about my problems. And they're funny and playful too! One time we played a game. It was tag. I don't know how we managed to do it, but we were playing and it was fun until I was locked into Twilight's basement. I asked her why, and she said I was hurting ponies. How did I hurt ponies? I asked her that and she cried and walked away. What did she mean? Who was I hurting? I asked the voices and they made a horrid scene play in my head.. I ran around Ponyville, roaring and swiping my claws at ponies. I managed to bend a brown stallion's hoof in an unnatural way and leave a huge claw mark on a yellow mare. While running, I was knocking several market stands into ponies and I made a few holes in the walls of some buildings. But the one thing that scared me the most was that I was laughing light-heartedly, breathing fire into the air. Then Twilight came, sobbing, and forced me to go into the basement. She then put a strong barrier spell around it. The scene got blurry, and I was back in the basement. The voices told me that she was crazy too, and thought that what I just saw happened. Is... is my insanity rubbing off on her? I am worried, because now I have to choose between my happiness and Twilight's suffering. What should I do?
