//------------------------------// // Hatred, Lust, And More Heartbreak // Story: Most Unexpected // by Chocolate Pony //------------------------------// "Spike, get up. It's 11:42 in the morning. You need to get up. Now" Twilight commanded. Spike merely groaned in response. He sounded something like a zombie. In fact, that's exactly what he felt like. He was dead on the inside, and out. "Cant I just stay in bed forever? My bed is the only one that understands me" He moaned, burying himself further into the blankets. "1. No you can't. 2. The bed needs a break from your heavy body laying on it. Now, get up" She replied, pulling the blankets off him with her magic. She gasped at the sight of him. "Spike what's wrong with you? Your eyes are red, not to mention your fangs are....longer." Spike understood the red yes part. He'd cried himself to sleep during the night. But, longer fangs? What was that supposed to mean? He got up, and slowly walked to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, he noticed she was right. His fangs had...grown slightly. But, why? "Odd. I've never had that happened before" Spike said. "I've never seen that happen before either. Oh well, maybe you're having a growth spurt. Anyway, how'd your date with Raity go?" Spike instantly winced at that question. His memories of last night came flooding back. And suddenly, something filled up in his chest. It built up until it began spreading throughout the rest of him. His blood was boiling hotter than ever before. He soon realized what was causing it. Hatred. Hatred for ever chasing after Rarity. Hatred for Fancypants taking her away from him. Hatred for being a Drgaon all together. Hatred...for Rarity. "Spike! Spike, snap out of it!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike shook his head, returning to reality. He noticed Twilight huddling in the corner, shaking with...fear. What was she scared of? "Twi, what's wrong?" He asked, confused. "Y-You're eyes turned red, and you started growling and s-snapping at me. And you k-kept saying Rarity's name" She replied, pointing a shaking hoof at him. He did..what?! He hadn't even noticed! He couldn't possibly have done something like that! There was no way. Maybe...he needed to take a walk. Yes, of course. A walk would help him. "I...need some time alone, Twilight. I'll be fine later. I'll do today's chores tomorrow. I promise. I just, need a break right now" Spike said, walking down the steps. Twilight watched him disappear out the caslte doors. What...was that? Why had he turned so violent, been saying Rarity's name, and not even known he did it? "I should write to Celestia about this. Maybe she'll have an answer" Twilight said to herself, flying to her desk. Pulling out some parchment paper and a quil, Twilight began writing a letter to Celestia. Once finished, she used a spell to send the letter to Celestia. Seeing as Spike was unable to. A few moments later, another letter came magically flying up to her. Twilight opened it, reading it quickly. Her eyes widened in horror, and she read it again at least fifty times. Her eyes began overflowing with tears, as she dropped the letter. "N-No. I'm..not r-ready. It can't h-happen. It can't!" Twilight screamed at the ceiling. She bowed her head, sobbing quietly. She didn't want it to happen. But, she knew it had to. *** Spike walked down the road, kicking a stone in front of himself. Ponies didn't bother to greet him. They could all tell he wasn't in the mood for greetings. Even a parasprite wouldn't dare to annoy him with the scowl he had on his face. Spike walked all the way to the park, deciding to rest. He was still tired at the moment. Spike sat down on the grass, leaning against a tree. He yawned and began to take a nap. He felt something wet hit his head, but ignored it. It happened again, and Spike frowned. Before he knew it, he was being drenched in water. Spike growled and stood up, moving away. He looked up at the sky, noticing a lone cloud, rain pouring from it. On it, sat a light purple Pegasus, crying her eyes out. She had a white and silver looking mane. She had her wings wrapped around herself as she sobbed. Spike picked up a pebble, tossing it at her. She sniffed and turned around. "W-What!? Can't you see I'm b-busy!?" She screeched, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes. "Woah, woah. Calm down. I just want to know why you're crying" Spike replied, cocking his head to the side. "Why should you care?" She huffed, sitting down on the cloud. Spike was just about to answer that question, when he stopped. The mare's looks had caught his attention. Her mane seemed to glisten in the afternoon sun. Her eyes sparkled, not because of the tears. They were naturally that way. Her coat was nicely brushed, and gleamed like the rest of her. She was...gorgeous. Spike soon found himself hypnotized by this..gorgeous creature. Something about her was more attractive than even Rarity. A strange craving filled his body. A bit like the hatred had earlier. This was a craving he only got when he found a gem he was gonna eat. He was always filled with desire and a longing to eat it. But, food was not the object of this craving now. It was a beautiful mare. Only one thought filled his mind. "I've have to have her." This ran through his mind more than once. Something within encouraged the thought and craving further. And it soon hit him he wasn't craving her looks. He was craving...Her. "Hello? Anypony home?" Cloudchaser asked, waving a hoof in front of his face. The dumb Dragon had been staring at her for at least five minutes now. He had the stupidest look on his face. Not to mention, he was drooling a little. She nudged him, looking for any sort of raction. He ended up grabbing hold of her hoof startling her. She tried to pull away, but he tightened his grip. Not to mention, his eyes turned red. "H-Hey, let go. That kinda hurts" Cloudchaser said, trying to pull away. He growled at her resistance, making her gasp. She noticed his fangs grow somewhat longer, and his size increase. In panic, and not knowing what else to do, she smacked him upside the head. "In Luna's name snap out of it!" "Ouch! Huh? What happened?" Spike asked, looking around. "You started talking to me, froze and wouldn't stop staring at me, then grabbed me and almost wouldn't let go" She replied. "Huh? I have no clue what you're taking about. Anyway, why were you crying?" That was so strange. Why would he do that only a moment ago, then act like nothing happens? Did he, not know what he was doing? And even so, what had he been doing? It was too many questions for Cloudchaser to contemplate. "Look, I have a bit of a migraine now. How about.. we talk tomorrow? Sound fair?" She asked, extending a hoof. "Um..sure. But, we'll have to make it evening. I'll have a lot of chores to do" He replied, shaking her hoof. "By the way, what's you're name?" "Cloudchaser. You?" "Spike." "Nice to meet you, Spike. It was...interesting. Well, gotta go. Bye!" And with that, she spread her wings, and took off. Spike watched her disappear into the clouds, waving a claw. He couldn't help but recall the way her hips moved when she'd turned around to leave. It filled him with..lust. He'd never experienced that with Rarity before. And to be honest...he didn't care. "I WILL make that mare mine. And I look forward to it" Spike growled in a deep voice, his eyes flashing red again for a second He then made his way back home, licking his fangs. Cloudchaser never left his mind once as he walked up the steps, opening the castle door. He made his way inside, noticing Twilight at the kitchen table. "What's up, Twi?" He asked, sitting beside her. She lifted her head, revealing her tear stained cheeks and bloodshot eyes. It startled Spike to see her like this. What could possibly be wrong? "I s-sent a letter to Celestia about your out burst earlier. S-She replied" Twilight muttered, looking miserable. "And? What'd she say?" Spike inquired. "You have to leave Ponyville. Forever."
