Twilight almost looked disgusted at Spike, as the atmosphere had quickly turned tense in a matter seconds. All the dragon could counter the unicorn with was a puzzled grin.

"It's Fluttershy, isn't it?"

"No."

"Don't lie to me Spike, I think you know as well as I do that you've been thinking a lot more about her, recently..."

"So what? Is it wrong to think about one of my best-friends?"

"Well yes... at least in the ways you're thinking about her."

The dragon was even more confused now. He had never thought of that kind of stuff anymore, at least he didn't think so. The same disgusted look remained on the commanding pony's face.

"...How?" Spike queried.

"When you're asleep of course, I just lay there looking at you... reading your thoughts."

The dragon thought Twilight was pretty crazy, but not actual crazy. Ever since her studies finished, she spent a lot more time at home - with Spike. It seemed with that she became gradually more controlling... and more powerful. He needed to get out of here as soon as possible.

A pause of silence emerged, Spike rushed out of bed and paced into the bathroom.

"I can't be dealing with this crazy shit, Twi'. You're joking, right?" He intimated, approaching to the small white cabinet to find those pills. Spike searched through all of it, only finding a bottle of Mane & Shoulders and some other products. He could feel a shaking in his right claw. It was intensifying. It must have been Twilight.

"Nope Spike, I think you know that I'm deadly serious." She replied.

The dragon didn't really pay much attention to what she said, he was still too busy looking around the bathroom for those special pills.

"I wouldn't bother looking for those right now, Spike. They're long gone." Twilight disclosed.

"WHAT? What have you done with them? You know how much I need them.."

The dragon exited the bathroom, only to be met face-to-face with Twilight.

"Silly Spike, of course I do. That's why we're gonna spend the rest of the day together and sort you out. You're really not well, you need your rest." She coaxed.

"No Twi', I'm going out. All I need is some fresh air and I'll be fine." The dragon exclaimed. As Spike tried to force his way past Twilight, he felt a force repel against him, unable to push past her.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I already told you.. I'm going out for some fresh air.."

"What did I tell you about lying to me, Spike. It's not going to get you anywhere."

Something snapped inside the dragon. A ferocious flame erupted inside of him, he had enough of Twilight and her exploiting mind games - despite how short-tempered he was acting... He desperately needed those pills. Within a flash he wrapped his right claw around the neck of the unicorn, trapping her between the wall and himself. The dragon gave her a snarl as she tried to wriggle free, Twilight attempted to use her horn but Spike quickly covered her horn with his left claw, stopping the pony from using magic. This was the only way to Spike she was truly vunerable, but he was consumed in anger now. Twilight needed to learn her place.

"Right. No messing now. Tell me where the fucking pills are before I snap off your born." The dragon threatened. His whole arm was shaking now, either because of the intense rage or just that those pills were almost essential to him.

Twilight gave a stunned squeal. Her dragon had never ever done anything like this before.

"S-Spike... What are you doing?"

"I'll make it nice and simple for you. You are going to tell me where they are, then I'm going to leave. Okay?" He demanded.

"Mhmm..." The pony agreed.

Spike slowly released his grip, wiping tears onto his side from where the unicorn wept in fear.

"...but I need to tell you something."

"What?"

"I threw them away..." Twilight admitted. Followed by a small flinch and a couple more tears trickling down her face.

The dragon didn't know what to do now. By this time he let go of the pony's horn and turned around, feeling dejected. He released what he'd just turned into, something feral, something so different from himself. Spike couldn't believe that he'd basically assaulted - abused - his lover. But was he really Twilight's lover, or was she just using him? He didn't know. All he knew is that answers were all the dragon needed.

"So, what about Fluttershy then?" Spike bugged.

The unicorn was just lying down there against the wall, almost entranced. Her eyes were red as she sniffled a little, preparing a response to the dragon.

"W-What about her?" The unicorn replied.

"Over the past couple of years she's slowly became even more reclusive, I don't think any nopony seen her in ages. Nopony even talks about her. It's strange, You must know something."

"Spike, I don't think I really..."

"Tell me." The dragon interjected.

"Okay..."

Twilight gave an uncomfortable sigh. She knew she had to tell Spike, the unicorn didn't want that to happen again.

"...Once I tell you though, you have to leave Ponyville."

"What? Just tell me Twi', I want to know. I don't care about the consequences because all I care about is my best-friend."

"Well, ever since I finished my studies. My magic became a lot more, powerful. I could do things like reading minds and you know, I was curious. Anyway, each night when you were fast asleep, I read your dreams. A lot of them were about what happened years ago, before we were together. You're thoughts about Fluttershy, your feelings...

"What's this got to do with anything?" Spike growled, becoming impatient.

"...I because jealous, since well that's who you where thinking about all the time. I didn't know what to do, I panicked."

"What did you do, Twi'?"

"With finishing my studies, as well as becoming more powerful magically.. I was a lot more politically powerful than before. I decided to question Fluttershy about both of your feelings towards each other..."

"And?" Spike said worryingly.

"Well it was quite obvious, you both had feelings towards each other. Despite if you knew it or not, it was deep inside. So I had to do anything to protect you.."

"Protect me? How on equestria would you think..."

"Spike. You asked me tell you what happened.." Twilight stated.

"Okay." Sighed the dragon.

"Now where was I. Ah yes, to protect you I had to keep Fluttershy away from you as possible. But the easiest and only way really was to put her under house arrest until she complied. Of course the other ponies didn't agree so I forced them to sign a pact. Basically saying if Fluttershy ever leaves, or you ever find out, they will come for either one of you, or both if necessary. That's why I told you that you'd have to leave Spike, but I did what did because I loved you.."

"Wow, you loved me eh? Anypony who hadn't been a stuck-up bitch would've left it how it is, and now you're going to lose me - and Fluttershy - because of it."

The dragon stared at the floor for a couple of seconds. Twilight faintly lifted up her hoof out to Spike, but he rejected it by solidly moving it out the way with his claw.

"I have to go Twi'... you even said so."

"Please Spike... I can make it better, I can..."

"The pact still stands Twilight. They're going to find out sooner or later that I know and have left with Fluttershy, and it's quite obvious that I can't trust you anymore. I'm really sorry Twi'." The dragon declared.

He rubbed the unicorns shoulder as he passed, and rushed down the staircase. All the pony could do was wimper quietly. What had she done? She'd pushed her dragon away, and to potentially face the consequences of what she made. Spike only thought about his best friend, and with a slam of the door he was out. Out of that controlled atmosphere, It felt almost alien since that talk with Twilight.

With urgency, he made his way towards Fluttershy's Cottage. Spike had to make sure she was okay...

Author's Note: Well that was certainly interesting. I decided to push the boat on this than any other chapter I've done for anything so far, and preparing for both some negative and positive feedback since I can see some people not liking what happened, so feel free to share your opinion's on Part 2 and would love to hear about them, good or bad.

Regards and thanks for reading,
