Spike

“The morning right after the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange Twilight acted… strange, almost deranged in a way. She hid herself in her study room and I went to check on her after a while but then told me to go read a book. I asked if she was ok and if she needed anything. She just told me to go away, so I did.
Sooner or later she came back into the main library and just snapped and told me to leave saying, ‘I don’t want you to see me like this,’ in an extremely sad sounding voice.
As she continued to tell me to pack and leave she said, ‘I am in no state to take care of you, Spike. Please, it's for the best. Send a letter to Shining Armor, I know you’ll be safer with him and Cadence in their Castle’.
Continuing it wouldn't be good for me to stay with her. I kept asking why, she turned to me yelling, ‘Look at me Spike! I’m not in a good condition to do anything!’ She lifted her wings, I was surprised I never noticed it before.
I started sobbing uncontrollably trying to comfort and hug Twi, she wouldn’t let me get any closer. She shooed me away, I packed and walked out the door. I didn’t want to go to Shining Armor's because he'd remind me too much of her. He’s her brother for pete's sake, and reminds me too much of her. Now I mainly live with AJ. I sleep over with my pony friends every now and then. I feel safer with them, now that Twi is in Tartarus. We can visit her but I feel like if I do, I'll be a sopping mess when I see her. I’m sorry Twi, I want you back, I really do. I just don’t have the strength to see you… I don’t think I ever will.”
