“Urgh. .... Owww.”
The first thing Spike felt was the burning sensation in his arm but that was quickly overshadowed by the piercing light which strained his eyes. He held his arm up to shield them but he was quickly short of breath as he realised how weak he was.
“Don’t move.” A quiet soothing voiced echoed in the white room. “You’re hurt. You’ve lost a lot of blood.”
“T-t-twilight!”
Spike’s vision cleared, the dull white blur soon diminished into the form a white mare stood in front of him. Spike paused, then he recognised her, the blue eyes, the red cross on her flank.
“ Nurse Redheart?”
“I glad you remember.”
“W-where a- *Cough!* Where am I?”
“A hospital in Canterlot. I don’t usually work here since I got transferred to Ponyville. But considering the circumstances I had no option but to assist you both.”
“Where is she?”
“Right next to you.”
Spike gave nurse Redheart a questionable look before looking to his right and there she was. His oldest friend, his best friend, he almost burst out crying as he saw the awful state she was in. Her fur was malting, her mane was a tangled mess and the obscure markings on her body were spreading. Spikes heart dropped to his stomach as he tried to sit up in his bed.
Suddenly a ear shattering screech came from his throat as an excruciating pain shot through his back. Nurse Redheart let go of her ears before running to Spike’s aid.
“You really shouldn’t move. Some of your scales were ripped off in the explosion. By the way, what the hay happened in there?”
“Nnngh!! Wait. You didn’t see anything?”
“Nopony did, there was too much commotion to see what was going on.”
The white mare looked at Twilight, giving her a nervous look before looking back at the purple dragon.
“What’s happening to her Spike? I treated her wounds when we were in Ponyville but I’ve never seen this before. I don’t think I’ve seen anything this bad outside of A & E.”
Spike’s eyes widened, he realised he couldn’t tell her the absolute truth, who knows what the doctors and nurses would do. Would they take her away? Would other ponies experiment on her? Celestia knows what they would do if they realised Twilight was becoming the blood lusting killer that Rainbow Dash once was before she met her gruesome fate.
“Thing Spike think!”
“I’m sorry?” The nurse uttered.
“B-black magic!” Spike shouted. “I-I-It’s black magic.”
“Black magic?!” Redheart gasped! Horror in her eyes. “What on Equestria is she doing using those kinds of spells?!”
“S-she. I-I. U-uh. .... The killer. .... Since the killer. .... Did those things to her our friends. Twilight thought she found a spell he or she might have used to commit the crimes. .... She wanted to see what kind of black magic she was dealing with. I told her it was a bad Idea but she didn’t listen. I guess she overdid a spell and it caused and explosion.”
“That still doesn’t explain those marks.” The nurse frowned.
“There are a lot of side effects to black magic.” Spike said nervously.
Spike was clutching at straws now. He always hated lying but if it was going to stop Twilight going into a mental institution or worse he’s going to keep doing it until he is blue in the face. Tense seconds passes as the nurse looked at Twilight once again before her face went back to being concerned.
“I-I’m not all that familiar with magic myself. But I have heard of such stories. .... Spike. You have to help her let go. I don’t know what happened that night she was brought in but I know if she carries on doing what she’s doing she is going t- .... It’s not going to end well for her. .... I can’t do anything to change her mind but you can. .... The world needs her, the world needs it’s element of magic. If she d- .... Equestria will be a darker place if all the elements are gone. Just think about that.”
“I. .... I will.”
“I need to go. I think visiting hours are over. After all I was on vacation. .... Goodbye.”
“See yah.”
Spike then noticed something as nurse Readheart turned away. A bandage on her left forehoof, stained with blood. The purple dragon quickly pointed at the bandage, catching the white mares attention.
“Hey, um. .... W-what happened?”
“Oh um. .... Y- .... this?” Redheart answered uneasily lifting the wounded limb. “I. .... I wasn’t going to say anything but. .... *Sigh* .... When you was unconscious. When we was near Canterlot station, She. .... Twilight stopped breathing.”
“Wh- .... what?”
“As I was trying to revive her I. .... Heard a growl. Next thing I knew, she bit me.”
Spike’s eyes grew wide. “Oh buck!” He screamed to himself.
“No. .... Nononono.”
“It’s okay Spike. I didn’t tell anypony. But it was hard explaining the weird bite mark. I waited till now to see if you could explain it. I suppose the black magic theory explains it all. Tell her when she wakes up, no hard feelings.”
“N-nurse Readheart you don’t understand y-“
*BEEP!!*
“That’s the buzzer Spike. I’m already bending the rules as it is.”
“J-just one more minute!”
“I’m really sorry, I have to go.”
“Please!”
Before Spike could say anything else the white mare was walking out of the ward. Spike took a deep breath to shout but the sudden pain in his back cut him off. The nurse heard the purple dragon, turning around with a content smile on her face.
“It’s okay Spike. I’m sure everything will turn out for the better in the end.”
Spike slumped down in his bed, grief was now on his shoulders. Whatever this thing was, it was now loose, the madness would soon be spreading if nothing is done. Celestia knows what nurse Redheart will be going through in weeks to come.
Wait. .... Weeks.
....
There’s still time.

Hi guys, I'm sorry to break the bad news to you but I've talked to the author and he said that he is out of the fandom and he does not want to get involved with it in any way ( but he still watches the show). He also said that he does not get the same satisfation that he got writing the last two fanfics so he cancelled this one (and i hope not for good). If you don't belive me see for yourself

Check the comments.
Don't worry! I've asked the author if I could take over as writer and I'm waiting for a responce. The Insainity must continue!!
brony-mon i don't think he will ever reply back i asked him if he will let someone else take over the fanfic (basicly what you just asked him) and he didn't reply back because he does not want to get involved with the fandom anymore and i don't think he cares about the fanfic anymore.
2630628 You know you are doing a good thing. Even if you are not the original author i will read your story just to see what you come up with. Good luck.
