It's To Dark

One night when Twilight was sleeping she woke up and looked around her. It was not to dark yet. She listened to the quietness outside. She closed her eyes and breathed. She drifted off. She was almost afraid to go further into sleep. She light her horn but it still didn't help much. She closed her eyes and drifted off.

A few hours later she woke up and couldent see anything she struggled but couldent manage to make anything out in the dark. She kept trying to see but it was no use. She took a deep breath and layed down. She looked into the darkness but there was nothing. She was getting upset. She tried to calm herself. While trying to get back to sleep she tossed and turned.

She looked to her window. She couldent see anything it was pitch black. She looked around and tried to find the light but couldn't see it. It was most likely out of reach. She got out of bed and felt around for it. It didn't turn on she soon found out that it was broken. She fearfully turned to peer into the darkness. It was pitch black. She started to cry softly and layed on her bed but her bed didn't help any.

She wanted to call out but she didn't want to bother Spike. Spike didn't have to check on her if he didn't want to. She continued to cry. She wiped at her eyes but tears continued to leak out. She looked into the pitch black darkness and was terrified. She tried to use her horn again but it only lit up her face and one inch in front of her face.

She shook with tears and sobbed louder. She was slowly breaking down and she didn't like it. She hated when it was dark. It absolutely made her terrified. She cried out softly. She tried to close her eyes and lay back down but that didn't help either. She could not beilieve this. She wanted to sleep but can't when she can't see anything. She tried to calm down again but couldent. She tried again and calmed down for a little while.

A few minutes later she got upset again. She felt very uneasy. She sobbed and put her head in her hooves. She thought that she must have looked stupid acting like this. She's a fully grown mare but still she didn't like how dark it was and she cried softly staining her sheets. She couldent stop crying. She stood up to try and find a light but that proved difficult when she stumbled around and hit things.

She sat back down and sobbed quietly. Her emotional threshold was overloading with to many feelings. She felt terrified she then heard a noise and gasped. She shook violently with tears. She breathed in and out to try and stop herself from acting irrational. But that failed. She cried. Spike was probably still asleep she didn't know if to shout or just try and find him. She didn't hear that he was there.

She decided if she should scream for help. She felt trapped in a dark and horrific reality. She sobbed even more. She should keep on lights in the room for now on she felt absolutely scared. She tried to reach somewhere for a new lightbulb to try and fix her light. She fumbled around. She was running out of ideas. Her breathing quickened but she tried to calm it. She looked around for any possible hints on what she could do. It was way to dark. She has never even seen it this dark before. Something wasn't right with Luna's moon.

She freaked out. She wasn't this scared then when she was a filly. Terror filled her as the darkness became an eternal judgment to her. The night dragged on and it filled Twilight with dread. She refused to scream out though she thought about the idea of making through this night which would be impossible for her. She started to hyperventilate and her body shook. She hated this. She absolutely hated this. She wished the moon would help her but it didn't.

Twilight started to have thoughts on talking to her friends or getting hugs. She let out a cry in distress. She wanted a hug or something to save her from this terrible darkness. She thought about calling out. There were possible predictions of what could save her. She looked up at her clock. It looked super late on the clock.

She thought about her friends and Spike and she wanted to see them so badly right now. She contemplated on what to do. She could wait till morning which would be impossible for her since she would end up running from that. She couldn't take it anymore so she screamed her heart out.

"SPIIIIIIIIIKE!! HELP!" She screamed. Spike woke up. And a few seconds later he was at her bed concerned.

"Twilight? What's wrong?" He asked gently. Twilight wiped her eyes.

"I can't see anything!! Please help me!" Twilight sobbed. Spike acted quickly and tried to turn on the light but it wouldent turn on so she ran for some batteries and ran back and put some inside and it worked. Spike hugged her.

"Twilight it's alright now. I'm here." Spike told her. Twilight was relieved and slowed her breathing.

"Thank you Spike." Twilight said sniffling. Spike handed her the tissue and she used it.

"You must think I'm a pathetic pony" She said. Spike gasped.

"Don't you ever say that! Your not! You were just scared. It's a genuine response to something wrong and don't beat yourself up for calling for help. Thats what me and your friends are for Twilight. " Spike explained calmly.

"Thank you Spike" Twilight said through her tears. They hugged for a few minutes and then broke the hug.

"From this day forward I will use a nightlight or lamp. To see at night and try to comfort me" She said.

"That would help you out a lot." Spike said smiling. Twilight sighed and spoke.

"I'm sorry I bothered you" She said. Spike was shocked that she thought that.

"No your not bothering me don't worry about that. I'm glad your calm now. Nobody should have to deal with their fears alone. It's pretty clear you have a fear of the dark" Spike said. Twilight nodded.

"I will help you with that and if you ever need me if you are in distressed or scared then call for me and I will be right with you. Spike said. They both smiled.

"Thanks your the best I could hope for. We are family." She said. Spike nodded. They then both snuggled up, they both talked about different subjects and then they went to sleep. Twilight was happy and so was Spike.
