Hi again, sorry for the small chapter and late update, but I have a spring break coming, so soon you'll have more. I promise.

Keep it simple, just keep it simple Fluttershy thought. She'd go in, get the book and out. No Honey Hive, little talking, and most importantly non-suspicions. If her actions looked even slightly weird to twilight, it could be she asks Honey Hive for advice, and if Honey Hive was a killer… Don't go there. Fluttershy trotted into the library. She greeted Spike with a sincere," Good morning!" a hint of relife washed over Fluttershy.

He gave a wide grin," Hi Fluttershy! what are you doing hear?" Fluttershy tightened and turned, no one was there.

She looked back," Why are you acting?" Spike keeps his smile but widens his eyes.

"Practice" He says happily," Did anything change when you said that?" She nodded and pointed to her eyes. He frowns a bit," I guess I need more practice, I've been trying to hide that,"

She assures him,"You'll get better, I myself probably should have practiced," She glances towards the book," Okay, I'll grab the book and you check it out,"Spike nodded fast and got to work. She holds the hard cover book. She turns and Spike s right before her," You scared me Spike, don't sneak up on ponies like that"

Spike gives a apologetic pout," Sorry I'm just nervous is all, with the situation" Fluttershy nodded, of course.

Suddenly as she was walking a green light lit up behind her," Honey Hive-"

Fluttershy screamed,"Ahh!" and sat up. She was on her couch? Where had she been last? She remembered-

"Are you okay?!" Spike called. He looked confused," I saw you were out in the woods and I-I thought the worse, what do you remember last?"

Fluttershy was aggravated to say," I remember being here then checking on the animals when I heard you crying, and you were on the side of a tree,"

Spike looked discouraged,"Anything else?" Fluttershy shook her head. She felt her heart sink, He must have told me what had been wrong she felt herself beginning to worry," I got to go, I need to see if Twilight needs her number one assistant," Fluttershy was about to speak but Spike hushed her,

"No need for you to hurt your voice anymore then it has been,"

He went out the door before she could utter," But my voice is fine.." Fluttershy looked to where he stood. Something is wrong, terribly wrong

Spike ran as fast as he could. He felt his small legs ach, but he needed to..to.. What could he do? What if the same happened to the next pony he told? He stopped running, what if someone died? Spike curled in on himself once more. What if Twilight died next? Spike couldn't stop the tears from streaming in. What am I supposed to do?

Had Spike had just ten more minutes then he was given, he would have foiled this terrible plot against Eqestria. Had ten more minutes passed, Spike would have grabbed from his bag a quill and paper and started and finished a paper to Celestia, and everyone would have been saved. Just ten more minutes Spike thought, Ten more minutes and he wouldn't be here, a knowing slave to the Enemy, but the world didn't give Spike ten minutes.

Queen Crysalis didn't give him ten more minutes before she uttered her threat. Her cold words still etched his soul as he brought a entranced Twilight her food. "Do as your told, because lets say, I whisper to Twilight to go in the woods, and some Timberwolf got to her, it be so sad," The green eyes gleamed with malice. Had he known her threat was paper thin, he may.. Imagine it's only for ten more minutes, just ten more minutes.

I didn't expect it to get so angsty. Ugh, I promise this isn't going to last forever. But, it's getting worse before it gets better.
