Chapter 8: The Cemetery

Spike made his way to the entrance of the graveyard seeing the night time sky. He never saw such a sight before. He wonders how Twilight came to find this place. He had several secret passage ways build so he could see his parents himself. However, he must have guessed that even blocking off the main entrance wouldn't stop a unicorn like Twilight.

The dragon made his way seeing tombstone after tombstone of his guards, servants, and former relatives. It wasn't hard to find his parents grave. He eventually found the mare he was seeking. Spike saw that it started to snow and even that didn't bother him or Twilight. He wonders what she was doing at his parent's tombstone. She didn't know them. So, what was the point of her coming here?

The dragon made sure to hide himself well enough for Twilight to think that he hasn't been following her. He kept peeking out when she wasn't looking. He then heard her melody like voice.

"Hello King and Queen of this land. You may not know me at all. But I am a prisoner of your son, Spike. I am Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said as Spike felt bad when she mentioned she was his prisoner.

"It's been a whole month since I offered myself to the dragon and there have been moments that I have been very frightened of your son. How cruel, rude and heartless he could be. All the suffering I have been through. All the heartache I had to take in. But, if I ever had a choice to do it again, I would surely be glad to" Twilight looked down

Spike was speechless as he stared at the purple unicorn talking to his mother and father as if they were still alive. Some ponies would call her crazy. Yet, he does the same thing.

"I then heard about both of you and how you once ruled this land. It's amazing that I never heard of you two before. Then, the passing of both of you made sense of why Spike acts the way he does. He is cruel, rude, and heartless because he has to be brave and hide the pain of their passing. I understood this feeling all too well. We are the same him and I" Twilight smiled with a tear in her eye.

Spike raised a brow in confusion.

"You see when I was very young; my mother was a very soft spoken mare with great ambitions. Yet, she had to put her life on hold when I came along. I tried to make my mother happy, but she was getting worry each day. The sadness in her heart soon turned to sickness. She wanted our family to have a better life, yet moving from home to home took its toll on her. I never cried so hard when I lost my own mother" Twilight moved as her body was toward the Queen's grave.

"It makes sense that Spike honored you the most. We both lost the one creature that gave us life. We tried so hard to make our mothers proud of us when we didn't have to true so hard. Mothers accept us for who we are and encourage us to write our own future. I guess we were blinded by something else. I am not sure what Spike shares with you since I don't know you that well. I share my love of books from my mother. My father tells me I am a splitting image of my mother" Twilight started to cry when thinking of her father.

Spike didn't understand the reason, but he was in such pain from seeing Twilight go on with her words.

"I don't understand what I am feeling inside of myself, but I am really grateful of being with your son. A son you both tried to raise so hard, yet feels the burden of your passing is his fault" Twilight looks around as she felt a familiar presence in the graveyard "Yet, I feel in my heart that your true son is trying to break free and I hope to meet him one day"

Spike felt really shocked hearing Twilight's words. He hid well so she wouldn't see him. He wanted to look at her, he wanted to touch her, and he wanted to make her his whole world. Yet, he wasn't sure how much Twilight really viewed him.

"You know you can talk to them too" Spike jumped when he heard her voice right next to him finding his spot.

"I am sorry for being so rude. I wasn't sure where you were" Spike mumbles while making up excuses of why he followed her here. "Wait, what are you doing here?"

"I just needed some air. Did you think I ran off again?" Twilight became curious

"Umm…No I didn't say that; I just thought that maybe you were at another part of this castle given that it is so big" Spike nervously smiled a little bit.

"Spike, there is a difference between following somepony and stalking them" Twilight felt like her personal space has been invaded.

"I wasn't stalking you, I was making sure no wolves would harm you" Spike tried to hide a blush, but he could tell the mare wasn't a pony to be fooled with.

"Well, I am fine. This night is sure beauty in its purest form wouldn't you agree" Twilight smiled

"Yes, I guess it is" Spike said as he felt the snow. Twilight looked at him and felt like something about him was handsome.

"You ok Twilight" Spike raised a brow as he could tell Twilight was looking at him for a long time.

"Oh…ummm no sorry I was just noticing how good you look" Twilight looks down feeling ashamed of herself and fakes a yawn to just break the conversation. "Well, I guess I should get some shut eye. You are coming in with me, right?"

"Just give me a few minutes" Spike asked the unicorn, who knew why he wanted a few minutes and walked away.

Spike made sure she was inside before he went back to the tombstone of his parents.

"Mom…Dad, I guess it's been a long time since I have seen you both. I know my current behavior and appearance would frighten both of you, but I have missed you both so much it just hurts for me to revisit the past" Spike broke down in front of the tombstone. His tears had never hurt him so much.

"I guess you met the mare I have made a prisoner today. There are times where she can be uptight, ungrateful, rude, and a constant know it all that keeps trying to prove me wrong. Yet, I feel in my heart that it's guiding me to this mare for some reason. I haven't met a mare like that ever. Mother, she really reminds me of you. How much you love to read, how much she laughs. O gosh she is an amazing mare" Spike smiled

"Father, I know there are times you want me to be like you, but I can't be like you. I can never be like you at all. I just want you to understand that I need to rule the way that I wish to rule over the land. To do that, I need to change my behavior, my appearance, and the way if I ever want Twilight to love me" Spike continued.

"I guess you both can say that I love Twilight Sparkle and I want to do anything to make her happy, yet I can't even make myself happy. I miss both of you so much" Spike cried in front of the tombstones.

Unknown to the dragon, the unicorn was making her way upstairs when she saw him crying his eyes out. A strong part of herself felt her soul tearing to pieces when she saw him like that. She shook her head wondering where that came from.

Meanwhile at the village, Twilight's father was worried sick about his own daughter. He coughed a little bit as he stormed into the bar. He needed help on getting his daughter out of that castle, from that terrifying dragon.

"Help me; somepony has got to help me. Twilight has been kidnapped and I need the help from all of you" Mr. Sparkle roared.

This roar got the attention of almost every pony including Snips, Snails, and Sombra.

"Sparkle calm down, who has kidnapped Twilight" one of the villagers's asked

"It was a big scary dragon" Mr. Sparkle stood up tall to imitate Spike's scary nature.

Everypony in the bar laughed as Mr. Sparkle was fearful of what could happen to his daughter. Dragons have been long since dead in the land of Equestria.

"You must be joking" Snips laughed

"Yea, no way dragons are still around" Snails commented

"No but it's true I saw him taking Twilight for himself. Sombra, you have got to help me" Mr. Sparkle said as he begs for Sombra to help him.

"Oh of course we will help you out" He winks to two stallions that carried Mr. Sparkle and proceeded to kick out Mr. Sparkle's craziness.

As soon as Mr. Sparkle was out of the bar, Sombra smiled hearing the words of his collegues. "Crazy Sparkle huh"

"Umm boss everything ok" Snips asked

"Come on you two, I have a plan to get that mare to marry me once and for all" Sombra sounded determined as he marches out of the bar for his own nefarious schemes.

"I hope dinner was to your liking" Spike smiled as he tucked Twilight into her own bed.

"It was, thank you very much" Twilight nods

"You are quite welcome" Spike checks around making sure her bedroom was safe.

"I am sure the dusty bunnies are not trained ninjas" Twilight couldn't help but giggle at his efforts to keep her safe" Twilight said

"You never know" Spike commented as he stood up and started to walk out

"WAIT" She screamed as Spike quickly turned around.

"Can you sleep here with me for tonight" Twilight whimpered

"Umm, I am not so sure I should" Spike nervously stated

"It will only just be for tonight" Twilight waved her hooves in defense

"Ok" Spike said as he proceeded to sleep on the ground.

"Not there" Twilight said "On the bed with me"

Spike made his way on her bed as he lies in front of the bed, which confused Twilight. "Umm, right next to me pleases"

Spike blushes as he tried to fit himself in the bed with Twilight. Both pairs find the awkwardness of sleeping together as they looked to one another. This feeling felt very natural as Spike looked into the eyes of Twilight and the mare did the same to Spike's eyes. Both of their gazes could last forever until they learned that they were leaning closer for a passionate kiss. They stopped their moment and both said.

"Goodnight"

They tried to sleep, but the feeling of their almost kiss was driving them crazy. Spike held Twilight in his arms as he looks down and closes his eyes hoping her comfort would warm his own heart. Only time would tell for that to happen, but not long.

XxxX

Well I guess Twilight and Spike are feeling awkward on sharing the bed together and it looks like they are falling for one another. So, I hope you like the story so far. I like it as well. I don't want to make this story too much like the Disney movie due to reasons of my own, but I highly recommend people watching the Disney movie before reading this story. So, I hope you all have a great time reading this story. Hope to bring the next chapter soon.
