Spike had woken up feeling more relaxed and well then he had ever felt before. He had never been able to sleep in so late because of Twilight always waking him up so early because of her princess dutys or her stupid study's. but he didn't have to deal with that anymore he was by himself now and he could do what he wanted. He was no longer Twilights assistant or pet or slave, whatever you wanted to call it. No more twilight no more insults nothing just him.

As spike got up he heard his stomach growl. In hindsight he should have brought something to eat. spike walked over to the door and pushed it open, making a loud freaking noise that echoed through the castle. As spike looked around he ended up outside and found some berries he could eat it wasn't much but it would be fine for now. As spike continued through the castle he saw a door that was open he decided to see what was there. He opened the door and saw that it was the kitchen. As he looked through all the supply's he started to think about the mare in his dream again.

He had meet her at the tree of harmony maybe she would be there and spike could find out more about her and see what she wanted.

As he walked out the door he couldn't help but notice a shadow move he second he walked out the door. As he continued through the castle he continuously looked around him to see if he was being trailed. He was able to catch a glimpse of something moving every once in a while but not enough of a look to see something distinctively.

As spike continued through out the castle he made it to the main door where he had came in from. As he pushed the door open he looked into the forest he did not remember the exact lookation of the tree but he knew the general direction of it.

As he went into the forest he made sure to stay in bushes and trees to make sure he was undetected by any timberwolves or other monsters of the everfree forest.

As he made his way through the forest he had finally reached the tree of harmony he stared at looking at its crystal beauty. But then remembered why he was here. He looked around the tree swing if he could find anything about the dream he had. He looked behind the tree and saw a book. When he aproched it he saw the cover it was a flame that was all black with horns on both sides of it. It was titled dark magic.

Spike was very surprised. He had never seen a book on dark magic before. Twilights guy even said Celestia destroyed all of them. He was about to open the book when he heard a voice behind him.

"I see you found my book" it said.

Spike recognized the voice to be the mare from his dream. He turned around to look at her. Spike saw that she was a unicorn and she was wearing a cloak to cover the back side of her coat. He looked at her intently see what she was going to do.

After about a full 30 seconds she said"I know you know who I am spike and I also know what your "friends" have done to you.

Spike heard hear put a lot of disgust into the word friends. Spike asked "How do you know who I am?"

She said "oh I've been watching you for a very long time spike, I've seen what twilights and her friends have done to you and I want to help you".

Spike was surprised he had just meet this mare and he still didn't know anything about her but for some reason she wanted to help him. Spike was utterly confused.

Spike thought about what she said and then looked at the book. She said it was hers. Was she a dark magic user?

Spike turned back around to the nose of hoovesteps coming towards him. He looked at the mare as she was slowly walking towards him. Spike felt worry in his gut afraid she was gonna do something to him. But as she got closer she stoped about 2 feet away from him.

Spike decided to ask her something so he said." How do you know who I am and what do you mean you want to help me? He asked in a confused tone.

She stepped a little closer enough for spike to see more details about her. She had dark blue stripes in her hair and her horn was also dark blue on the tip.

She responded to his question and said" I've been watching you spike I've seen you been bullied and pushed aside and what I want to do" she giggled a little " I want to help you".

Spike looked at her entently he said " How are you gonna help me I don't even know who you are".

" I know you don't trust me spike especially since you don't know who I am so why don't I introduce myself. My name is misty and as you saw on the book behind you I study dark magic and I know what your thinking am I like sombra but I can assure you I'm not.

As she finished saying that spike felt a little more comfortable with the mare. He looked at the book behind him and grabbed it he turned back around to see that misty moved a little closer to him and he handed it to her.

"This is your right" he said.

Then misty nodded her head and said yes that's mine.

Spike had another question in his head as he kept looking at the misty.

He asked "were you the one following me I the castle of he two sisters.

She looked at him surprised and said " yes that was me but I was only following you because I wanted to see what you were doing.

Spike was about to response when he heard someone shout from a distance."SPIKE, SPIKE WERE ARE YOU"

He looked out to the everfree and said " that sounded like Twilight" he looked at misty who looked back at him.

Misty put the book in a satchel she had under her cloak. She then turned around and was about to focuse her magic when she realized spike would be caught by twilight if she didn't help.

Spike kept looking toward the everfree forest scared that twilight might find him and ruin everything he was trying to do.

" I can help you if you trust me spike" misty said as spike turned around to look at her.

He was at a crossroad here. He could go with misty and see how she could help him but he had just met most and she used dark magic which scared spike a little. On the other end if spike were to stay and run he would most likely be caught by twilight and put back into slavery.

To spike there was only one choice. He turned around to misty and said in a determined voice "I trust you"

Misty looked at him with happynesa and said" great just watch for twilight and I'll get a portal open don't worry spike I promise you'll never be used or bullied as long as I'm around". Then she turned around and started focusing her magic again.

Spike had turned back around but noticed that he could start to hear other voices to. He made them out to be twilight friends also looking for him. They started getting closer. Spike turned around to misty and said " running out of time misty almost done"?

"Hold on just a couple more seconds she said" while grunting.

Spike saw as all portal start to open and expand as Misties horn started to glow brighter. Suddenly the portal gave off a flash before appearing to be stable. Spike looked at it scared for his safety then looked at misty to see her giving a warm smile before saying it's fine I'll go first just make sure to come In before twilight and her friends get here. Spike nodded and then misty walk into the portal making it flash.

Spike was about to walk in when he heard a voice behind him "Spike?" He looked behind him to see rainbow dash looking at him confused about what he was doing.

Some started to back up getting close to the portal. He had to leave now before the rest of the main 6 got there. He looked at rainbow then back at the portal.

"Spike what do you think your doing everypony misses you why did you leave?" rainbow said

Spike didn't have time for this he turned around and walked to the portal he heard clapping noises and turned to the noise to see rainbow with a determined look on her face flying straight towards spike. Spike ran into the portal and ended up seeing he was in a small room. He looked back at the portal still seeing rainbow flying straight towards him he was about to run when the portal closed in a instant.

Spike let out a sigh of relief. He felt something rest on his shoulder he turned his head to see misty putting a hold on his shouder. She said " told you I would have your back" she giggled.

Spike looked into her eyes and saw that she meant everything she said before. He a got up and looked back at the wall to see the portal was gone it was just a wall now. He looked around the room to see he was in what appeared to be a library with red and black carpets and furniture. Spike turned to misty who was approching a door that seemed to lead out to a hallway.

Spike was about to ask a question but misty started talking. " This is my home spike I hope it can be yours for now to. And I know you probably have many questions Spike but evey thing will be answered in due time but for right now how about we settle down I think you might be hungry" she said

As if on que spikes stomatch started to rumble he blushed and looked away embarrassed. Misty giggled and said it's fine spike I'm hungry to follow me I'll show you around and we'll eat something. As she headed out the door spike followed. Right when he got to he doorway he looked back at the wall were the portal was. He had a new friend and a new life.
