Hi everyone! Again with another little bit. This is a bit short, but it's a dosey! I forgot to put in warnings but I will do so for now on Warning: mentions of death, and panic attack, please if you can't handle then don't read.
Honey Hive had come to stay with Twilight, this was supposedly because the mare had nowhere else to go. She had been going to build a house at a different edge of the Everfree forest, but the timberwolves had crushed it. Well Spike didn't mind this, he just couldn't shake off the feeling of distrust.
He knew this was a stupid notion, the mare had tried to save Zecora… but then she did die. There was no evidence to show it being a timberwolf beyond the wood in her leg, and how long would it have been for her to bleed out? If she was from a different edge then why had Zecora been so close? And didn't she have hive mind powers? Why not have animals help her? Or when she was close to the town, send a emergency signal?
The questions kept going but he wondered if this was really because of not seeing how this is true, or if he was morning. He didn't know Zecora that well so well he was sad, he didn't immediately reject the idea of her death. This was the first time he'd known someone who died, and frankly it sounded strangely convenient that it had happened where nopony could testify against that.
He knew he sounded paranoid, but sense moving to Ponyville Nightmare moon had almost caused eternal night, then Discord had turned Eqestria, specifically Ponyville into the chaos capital of the world! It wouldn't surprise the young dragon if this strange mare was just a sneaker villain waiting to strike when everyone was off guard. His gut felt this to be true, but he had no proof beyond controversial facts.
Then he saw green light, magic. He knew nopony or dragon that had green magic. He gently stepped through to see only the last of whatever it was, what was left was a shred of magic through the mare's eyes that had to green irises. They faded away to go make to 'Honey Hive's' normal eyes and Twilight's eyes were clouded for a moment… Then Twilight smiled at the mare, who chuckled in a animus way,"Thank you Twilight, for listening,"
Twilight nodded and went about her day, seeming to not notice the event. Spike snuck away in hast. Once he was far, far away he ran. His breath was uneven, his vision blurred, and he could feel the tears streaming. His claws scythed the earth to push him farther with each step.
He shivered as he found himself at the outskirts near Fluttershy's place and decided to cry under a tree. His sobs were quite, so as not to alert anyone. He had no clue what to do, he had no clue what was going on. He was right but what the frick was he up against?! That wasn't normal pony magic, her eyes were a whole different color! Who could he tell?! What was he even going to tell?!
His breathing got faster, he started spiraling further, until Fluttershy came through. Of course, this was near her home. Spike's eyes were bloodshot and puffy, and he knew how curled up he was. Gosh he looked liked he was five, "are you okay?" Fluttershy whispered. He shook his head fast, he really wanted to tell someone, anyone about this but all he could muster was the shaking of his head.
Fluttershy took him to the cottage and set him with some tea," Okay so…" The young mare took a breath and asked," What happened,"
" I... I barley know," He answered,"I just was wondering how Zecora-" His voice got faster," then I looked around the comer and this mare has two irises per eye! And she's a Pegasus so when I see green magic- and green eyes! I panic, and Twilight is their dazed- and suddenly she acts as if nothing happened! I ran as far away as I could- She- that mare- I" Spike started sobbing again and Fluttershy's chest tightens. That wasn't normal. She has no clue what that mare- thing is.
But Spike is scared," We can figure this out, lets go back-"
"Do you not believe me?!" Spike asks in despair," I know I sound paranoid but-"
Fluttershy responds gently," No, but it's better to act as if nothing happened, we can go their, I get a book or ten about rare species and magical oddities, maybe a couple on spells, over time of course, we'll start with rare species as that's in character and you gather info on her but lets just have tea, that can wait till you can come down okay Spike?" Spike nods. He starts to dose of under the blanket he is wrapped in, sunlight reflecting on his scales beautifully.
Fluttershy kisses his head and leaves the room. She goes to Angel," Do you think you could find anypony of something with green magic, and two green irises?" Angel looks at her with confusion but nods," And get the other animals on it, we need to find out as much as we can about them, I think it might be bad news, and be stealthy, nopony can know" Angel leaves with a anxious expression. Fluttershy starts flapping her wings in stress. Soon she is pacing, back and forth,back and forth,back and forth. She had no clue what she was facing, but if they killed Zecora… What was she going to do!?
