Chapter 8 Arguing with myself
Arguing with myself
”Eat it.
Grab it.
Eat it.”
His stomach was now growling loud enough that it could be mistaken with a manticore's roar.
Yet he still tried to control himself and his mind.
”Zecora put it there for a reason...”
“She put it there for us...”
“Yes for me...”
“So you will not go hungry...”
“Yeah...”
“So you should take it...”
“Yeah...”
“Then take it!”
“NO.”
“YES.”
“No.”
“There it is, in front of us. Tempting us.”
“If...”
“If you were to take it... its smooth shiny juicy surface will be in the palm of our claws.”
“...”
“Just imagine the feel of it... the cold smooth exterior rubbing against our scales.”
“...”
“Moving closer and closer to our mouths.”
“...”
“It’s smell rising and reaching our nostrils.”
“...”
“We can almost taste it.”
“...”
“As we slowly put it in our mouth.”
“...”
“Our tongue touching it, licking it.”
“...”
“Its taste filling our mouth.”
“...”
“Then we slowly move it from place to place, rocking it gently as its taste changes ever so slowly.”
“...”
“Then we would bring it to the back to our mouths, gently putting it between our fangs.”
“...”
“Until...”
“...”
“With one powerful crunch it would crack into hundreds of pieces, of all shapes and sized.”
“...”
“It’s flavour exploding in our mouths again...”
“...”
“...and again...”
“...”
“...and again...”
“...”
“...and again as we slowly chew, making sure to remember how every piece tasted like.”
“...”
“Because we will NEVER have the chance to eat it again.”
Spike could feel himself hitting the staff Zecora placed in front of him, his claws inches from the gem he so much wanted. He quickly pulled his hand back and grabbed his tail, gently stroking it.
“My hands can’t be trusted.”
“I will not fail, I must not fail.”
”But look at it. So smooth, so shiny, so juicy, and so tempting.”
“It is isn't it?”
“Yes it is... It truly is.”
“Yeah it truly is.”
“Remember what Zecora said?”
“Umm... no.”
“Greed, is exactly what you need. Remember her words?”
“She did say that.”
“So what are we waiting for, take it, eat it.”
“Maybe... maybe I should.”
“You should.”
“I should.”
“Take it..”
“I...”
“TAKE IT. NOW.”
Spike could feel the staff hitting him again, but this time the gem was already in his claws.His arm was shaking under the knowledge of what treasure it protected.
”A gem unlike any other... A gem so rare that no dragon had ever ate one... and never will.“
Spike drew his hand closer in excitement, his entire body was shaking in anticipation. Slowly his hand drew near, the other coming to help it along. He pulled them closer, holding his fist against his chest.
“Can you smell it?”
“We can.”
The hand slowly and carefully parted from his body, opening, revealing the Jadeite. His muscle tensed his whole body froze. It was even more beautiful up close.
”EAT IT.”
“I...”
”EAT IT.”
“I...”
”EAT IT.”
“I don’t...”
”EAT IT.”
“I...”
”EAT IT.”
“I can’t...”
”EAT IT.”
“I...”
”EAT IT.”
“I...”
”EAT IT.”
“I won’t...”
”EAT IT.”
“NO.” Spiked yelled throwing the stone into a bush.
”YOU FOOL. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”
“...”
”You will never find one again. Zecora is going to think you ate it”
“What?”
“The stone is missing from in front of you. And there are claw marks on the ground, your claw marks.”
“But I...”
“You what? You took it from where she put it, and now it is gone. The rarest of gems missing. Do you think she will believe you just threw it away?”
“But I...”
“You what?”
“I did not eat it.”
“That’s not what she will think.”
“No, I’m sure she will believe me.”
“I’m sure it’s not like you ever took anything from her... Oh wait, you did.”
“I...”
“You took everything from her...”
“But I...”
“You stole everything from her...”
“But I was...”
“Greedy?”
“No I was not... I am not...”
“You are not what? You are not a dragon?”
“I... Of course I am a dragon.”
“Are dragons not greedy?”
“They... I...”
"You are not a dragon?”
“...”
“Are you not greedy?”
“...”
His stomach cried again.
”There is still time.”
“There is?”
“There is. Go, search for it, maybe you can still find it, maybe you can still... put it back.”
“There is still time.”
“Maybe she will not noticed. She will never know...”
“There is still time...”
“Maybe she will never know how weak and pathetic you are..”.
“I will not be weak.”
“Stealing from the pony that wanted to help you. Stealing from the pony that trusted you.”
“I... I must...”
“GO! GET THE GEM BACK.”
“I must go.”
“GO. NOW, BEFORE THEY GET BACK.”
“I must go.”
Spike stood up. He looked around trying to remember the bush he threw the Jadeite in.
“There!”
He was prepared to run towards the brush, he lifted his leg and stopped.
”What’s wrong now?”
“I am not supposed to leave this circle.”
”Oh for the love of Celestia’s shinny...”

Poor poor Spike battling with his inner voice. He did the right thing in not eating the gem, but I hope Zecora doesn't think he ate it.
2384157 zecora didn't tell him not to eat it, she just placed it there and left
she is not cruel as a teacher she is just... different... sever maybe
also a bit late to say this, but...
i don't think twi isn't a bad pony, irresponsible or she is intentionally ignoring spike
(nor do i intend to write her that way)
she is just overwork
Well... this is interesting... very interesting.
You are a really good writer, im itching myself thinking what i would do in his place, i had theories to what to do then were destroyed then new ones came...anyway congrats,im gonna keep reading now
