Chapter 6: Hesitation

Twilight began to look at herself in the mirror. She looked like a real mess. Her mane was suffering from sleeping too much, her stomach growled and the fact that the dragon that captured her was still in her mind.

In reality, he was a fearful beast that kept her prison and wouldn't let her go free, no matter how much she tried to escape. He was rude, inconsiderate, and very bossy. Yet, she could tell that he was probably watching her and if she ever made an attempt to leave her room, he would try to scare her into going back into her room. There were times where Spike tried to demand Twilight to eat with him, but her response was still no.

But, within her dreams, he was completely different.

He had been kind, sincere, adventurous, sweet, and sweep her off her hooves. She was confused by this. From what he told, she eventually found her way into his heart and he had made many sacrifices to ensure she was very happy. Her father was there supporting the two lovebirds, the villagers were in awe, and Twilight had never felt such happiness in her heart. She only read this in books about romance. Yet, her dream held her own storybook ending.

Within the confides of the castle within the dream, Spike had shown her many wonders. From the dining hall to the balcony that oversaw the whole land, Twilight was awestruck by Spike's open heart. She shared things that she never shared before, and he told her things that Twilight never thought Spike would share with her.

The best part of her dreams was when Spike would kneel down on his knees and propose to her. He was very different as he was shorter, his scales weren't in disorder, his wings were average size, and his smile simply melted the unicorn's whole body. Her answer was always yes. She loved the sweet bliss of her dreams. She loved the way that the dragon treated her. It was like all of her wishes had come true. A being that understood her, a creature that showed her love and she loved him in return, and some dragon that was completely unlike the rest of what society had to offer. In short, she was in love with him.

However, reality kept crashing down as she woke up in her room again. Twilight groaned as she wanted her dreams to be a reality. She didn't want to be captured by him, yet she made a deal to stay with him forever. It wasn't something she could easily undo. She had to buy herself some time, maybe Spike would change his mind and free her someday. However, his anger always got the best of him; she would probably be an old mare by that time.

"You know that was going against his orders" Rarity glared at Applejack for feeding Twilight

"I wasn't going to let the poor mare starve" Applejack announced

"Well, he is going to find out that she has been eating without him, and he isn't going to be very happy" Rarity worried

"O let him throw his hissy fit. He knows as well as we do that the spell can't work if Twilight hates him" Applejack answered

"I have to agree with Applejack on this one" Rainbow Dash said "It would be rude of us, if Twilight didn't have anything to eat. Spike was allowed a little food for himself, why can't Twilight"

"Spike is the master of the castle, he gets special treatment" Rarity looked at both of her companies

Suddenly, a pink leg comforter ran into the room barking around the trio in a jumping rush.

"Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie calm down" Rarity ordered

"SIT" Applejack yelled

Pinkie Pie did what she was instructed to do as she lacked a voice, but made dog sounds as it was the only sounds she could make in her current form.

"Tell us what is going on" Applejack asked Pinkie as the news Pinkie Pie had brought wasn't very good news.

Twilight was looking around the castle. Despite the darkness of the place, she found the architect to be very beautiful. She looked at all of the dragon statues as she felt something was off about it. She ignored it as she saw a flight of stairs that Spike told her never to enter.

The purple unicorn wondered what that dragon was keeping from her. She was about to place her hoof on the first step when Rarity and Rainbow Dash blocked her path.

"It is good to see you are awake my dear" Rarity gulped

"Yes, what's up there" Twilight smiled

"O nothing; nothing at all" Rainbow Dash lied

"O really" Twilight seeing through Rainbow's deceit "Then you don't mind if I have a peek"

"Umm it's nothing at all worth mentioning, it's just the master's chamber. You wouldn't want to go in there. It's dreadful, hazardous, and full of foul odors" Rarity hoped Twilight would buy that lie.

"I see" Twilight gazed upon to where the stair cases end

"We umm have a library" Rarity continued as she hoped that Twilight would be interested in books seeing that Twilight was reading one earlier.

"Really" This made Twilight smile with excitement

"Yes, with a room full of books" Rainbow dash joined in on Rarity's scheme

Both Rarity and Rainbow Dash came from the steps and started to walk to the library hoping Twilight was behind them.

Twilight did enjoy books, yet it was her curiosity of the unknown that made her journey to Spike's chambers to see what the room was like.

Creak…..

Twilight opened the door to Spike's room as she saw what was unexpected. It was ripped apart as if a room of lions had destroyed the room bit by bit. Twilight's eagerness to explore the contends of his room lingered forward as she looked at all of the parts to his room.

What made Twilight stop her movements were two photos that stood in the room? First she saw the picture of the baby prince with two figures. She guessed based on the happiness of the three dragons that the two larger ones were Spike's parents. She saw the larger picture in shreds but tried to see what it was of. It looked like a dragon, yet it was too torn up by the claws of Spike to tell what it actually was.

Twilight was about to leave the room when a flash of a pink light diverted her from her path. Twilight looked back to see the source of what was blinding her so fiercely.

It was a single rose. It was so pretty and beautiful. Twilight's hoovesteps was heading towards the rose that was kept in a glass jar. Out of all of the things in this castle, this was the one sight that Twilight had ever seen.

Why would Spike keep such a thing Twilight thought heading towards it. She saw a dragon-held mirror next to the glass, but ignored it.

Twilight knew her hooves would only break the glass, so she used her magic to remove it and softly put it down on the ground. She smiled as she wanted to touch the rose to feel how real it was. It looked like a magic rose. A simple touch would be enough for her.

However the claw of the purple dragon stopped her in her tracks as the glass was put back in its proper place. She saw the dragon's face closer to hers, however it wasn't of love or affection, it was of deep hatred and fear.

"What do you think you are doing" Spike roared

"I was just" Twilight said

"Do you realize what you could have done" Spike interrupted the unicorn

"GET OUT" He continued as Twilight did as he had instructed and fled the castle without a moment of hesitation

XxxX

Using her speed, Twilight was sure to move far away from the castle as she could. Her goal was to go home and never return to that castle again. She felt sorry for the friends that she made in the castle halls. She hoped Spike would have been kinder like in her dreams, but he showed no signs of changing whatsoever.

However, the young mare would soon discover that she was not alone. Her tracks were in pursuit by the creatures that lived in the dragon's woods. Some were even the very trees themselves. Twilight soon found herself face to face with beings called Timber wolves. This made her run faster. She wasn't about to become some wolves' lunch. She used her magic to destroy one of them that stood in her way.

She had been exhausted due to the fact that she had run such a long distance. Added on to the fact she kept using her horn to dispatch the Timber Wolves from chasing her, yet they were in hot pursuit.

She was a goner. No only was there a cliff with a long way down, but the Timber wolves had caught up to her in great numbers, there was no chance for her to escape. It was either fall to certain doom or be eaten by the wolves made of timber.

She closed her eyes and waited for her doom, yet this wasn't the case for she saw a being rolling into a ball out of the sky as Twilight wasn't sure who it was. The being had made the Timberwolves shatter and scatter as the impact of the being had caused Twilight to slip off, but its tail grabbed the young unicorn and tossed her over to where there was land. The Timber wolves turned to see the being was the great dragon Spike. Twilight was in fear but saw that Spike wasn't mad at her; he was glaring at the Timberwolves

"She is mine" He glared before inhaling for a few seconds and exhaling his green fire to burn the timber wolves as fire wasn't their greatest strong suit.

Spike was tackled by a couple of Timberwolves as Twilight was amazed by his bravery. However, the growing fear of him becoming worse than the wolves appeared in her mind. This thought made her try to go back to her village. Yet, a large Timberwolve stood in her way as he wanted her all to himself. However, Spike got there just in time before Twilight would become lunch. Spike had burned most of the wolves to the ground while some of them fled into the forest.

Spike saw Twilight as his breathing became irregular due to his injuries and fell into the snow. Twilight held a chance of escaping Spike the dragon. She was about to leave his side. She could have run home, she could have never seen him again, she could have been safe. Yet, she looked back to the dragon that was currently being buried by the snow.

He could have eaten her in the middle of the night, he could have burn her to a crisp, and he could have locked her in the dungeon. Why didn't he? Twilight moved back to him as Spike in his usual rage wasn't capable of such an act. Was this the sign she was looking for; could Spike be the special some dragon of her dreams?

She lifted the dragon up with her magic as she looked down her tracks and decided to journey with the dragon back to the castle.

XxxX

A few hours went by since Twilight took Spike back to the castle. She had gotten her rest and was ready to work on Spike's injuries as his was more painful than hers. She put her hair in a ponytail and stuck her tongue out to concentrate on fixing Spike.

When the dragon awoke, she was almost done. She floated a hot cloth near his arm.

"Hey watch it" He spoke trying to avoid the hot cloth

"Will you hold still" Twilight responded as he kept moving to avoid the cloth she was trying to put on him, but it connected when Spike moved.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" He screamed in pain

"I told you it would hurt if you moved" Twilight spoke as she applied it

"Are you trying to kill me you crazy unicorn" Spike spoke

"Are you always this reckless, you stubborn dragon" Twilight retorted

Both of them shouted remarks to the other making them both frustrated. Spike had growled at her.

"O growl yourself" She growled back

"Why did you even save me anyways? Not like you cared. The only thing that matters to you is that you could go home" Spike demanded

"Well, I promised you that I would stay with you forever. I just couldn't….couldn't….couldn't" She said before yelling out "I just couldn't let you just die out there"

Spike and Twilight were both surprised by Twilight's words that meant so much more than what was intended. Spike and Twilight both didn't understand their current emotions and why they did the things that they did for one another.

Spike held out his arm to have Twilight heal it some more.

What they didn't know was that day changed the way they viewed one another forever.

Well, I think I will leave this chapter on that note. So what did you think of the current chapter. I happened to like the second half of the chapter as I felt my favorite part to write was Twilight's hesitation upon leaving Spike in the snow. I felt that Twilight would have left if her feelings for him didn't start there. I adored that moment in the movie as well.

So, the last thing before I send my goodbyes for the moment. I loved Season 4 of Friendship is Magic and I have high hopes for Season five. It's really hard for me to say which season I like the best. So, for an episode I think there should be one about how Spike likes Rarity, but the episode being more on somepony or somedragon having a crush on Spike. It could be an old or new character, but it would be so fun to see Spike trying to find his secret pony admirer. Spike could learn a lesson on moving on from a crush or not to obsess over something like that. (Not saying that obsession is wrong, just saying that not to take it too far)

So, I leave you all with this question. Out of all the characters of the show, who do you see Spike being with. When I say be with, I mean have a crush on the dragon. Let me go first.

It's kind of a tough call on this one. I see so many characters being with Spike. But if I had to pick the one I liked see with him more, it's…

Sweetie Belle.

*Sees Bronies and Pegasisters about to attack him* Let me prove my point.

it would be rather ironic for Sweetie Belle the sister of Rarity, Spike's crush to develop a crush on the dragon. Kind of like a sister love triangle.

Spike, I believe seemed like the same age as the CMC. I could be wrong, but I just don't see him being with one of the Mane six or any other older character.

The movie EG (Equestria Girls) should have had Spike become a human and gain a secret admirer from a person he would have not suspected.

There have been episodes where Rarity had unknowingly make Sweetie Belle live in her shadow. Their pairing (Spike and Sweetie belle) would be another example of their sibling rivalry.

If you think I am correct about Spike/Sweetie Belle being a couple is great, then thanks and if you want to think of more reasons why this would be a great couple, then you may tell me. If you think I am full of rainbows and horse poop, then tell me who you think that would make a great pair with Spike. Well until then, see you all later.
