Twilight stared across the room her gaze blank, not knowing what to expect. Questions and thoughts of revenge were whirling through her head, she felt like killing the pony who did this. The door to Spike's hospital room creaked open and in almost a second she had sprung out of her chair and galloped across the hallway. Twilight anxiously looked him in the eyes. Twilight bombarded Dr. Stable with questions as soon as he walked solemnly through the door.
"How is Spike doing? Is he okay? Will he die from his injuries?" she had a whole flood of questions to ask him but he raised a hoof indicating her to stop. She closed her mouth so he could speak clearly.
"I don't know if Spike is going to pull through or not, he lost so much blood he may die from blood loss. Another problem is we don't even know much about dragon's in general. What we do know is ponies who investigated your castle found a heat signature on the floor." At this Twilight felt her heart soar. "I can get my revenge." she thought to herself.
She must of done something because Dr. Stable shook his head.
"We can't follow the trail because at your castle door the heat signature disappears," he informed her with a saddened shake of his head.
"Disappears? DISAPPEARS?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISAPPEARS?!?!" Twilight felt her voice growing louder with desperation. "You have to find a way to follow it!!!! I could never live with myself if Spike dies and we don't get revenge for him!!" Twilight felt her eyes start to glisten with tears as she weighed the possibility that Spike could actually die. Dr. Stable rested his hoof on her shoulder as Twilight bowed her head in grief.
"Don't worry Twilight, the entire hospital is working no less than their best to save him," Dr. Stable stated firmly. "Twilight," his eyes softened, "if Spike does die then we will make sure he feels no pain when his time comes,". He said this just as he lifted Twilight's chin with his hoof and look her in eyes reassuringly.
"But I don't know how I could ever live without him......." Twilight croaked her voice fading away. "He-he means everything to me......." Twilight sadly gazed at the wall, memories flitting through her eyes.
"It's okay Twilight it's okay...." Dr. Stable murmured sadly. "There's still a chance he'll pull through, Spike's a healthy dragon. He's already fought of the infection in his wound's." Dr. Stable informed her trying to see the bright side of things. Twilight must have taken this statement the wrong way because then her sadness gave way to rage, uncontrollable rage.
"QUIT ACTING LIKE HE'S GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight spat, "SPIKE WON'T DIE, HE CAN'T DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she threw her last few words over her shoulder as she cantered into Spike's room and sat down beside his bed. Twilight sat there for a few minutes aware that each shallow breath he breathed could be his last. Then she whispered "Spike, please don't leave us, don't leave me....." her voice cracked as she spoke and hot tears started to flow out of her eyes. "Spike, please......." Twilight murmured, deep in grief.
"Twi....light.....?" a voice shakily asked her. Then Twilight recognized it. It was Spike's voice!!! Twilight's head shot up, her grief forgotten.
"SPIKE!!!!!!" Twilight called out with joy. "Your alive!!!!!!!!"
"What.......happened.....?" Spike asked her even though he felt like he couldn't get the words out.
"Somepony almost murdered you in your sleep that's what." Twilight growled angrily.
"Don't say..... 'almost'....... yet....." Spike told her with the realization that he could tell he was going to leave Twilight soon.
"What do you mean, 'Don't say almost yet'?" Twilight demanded, fearful of his answer.
"Twi.... you know that I won't be around for much longer........." Spike breathlessly told her confirming her fears.
"SPIKE!!!! DON'T THINK LIKE THAT!!!!!" Twilight shrieked, even though deep down she knew he was right. But she wouldn't believe him. She couldn't. "Spike, please don't leave me! There's still so much we have to do!!" Twilight begged.
"I'm sorry........ but it's not my choice......... if I get to live any longer........" His heart monitor started to beep quicker. "I know you don't want me to leave........ but I can't cling on any longer.......... I love you........" Twilight couldn't bear to listen any longer as started to die right in front of her.
"I'll get Dr. Stable!! He'll help you!!!" Twilight wailed to her dying friend, and what seemed like, her son. Twilight raced out of Spike's room and called out to Dr. Stable in grief. He came running with some nurses as soon as she uttered his name. Dr. Stable and his nurses called out to each other but Twilight didn't hear them clearly. "Spike is really dying......" she thought to herself, becoming blind by the tears that were streaming out of her eyes in grief to deep for anypony to drag her out of. "He's really dying........" she soberly whispered. "WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY, SPIKE, WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight wailed her grief out to the whole world not caring who heard her. Spike was dead.
