The Evil Within

                                              Two Draconic Brothers in Ponyville. A Shock in the Early Morning Hours!

The sun finally rose into the sky, a single ray coming through the window of Twilight's bedroom. She slowly awoke as the warmth and glimmer of the sun hit her face. Her eyes fluttered open as she got up and out of her bed, ready to start a new day. What she did not know was that she was about to wake up to a shocking discovery.

     "Spike, it's time to wake up!" She exclaimed throughout the library that doubled as a house.

     Her call went unanswered as the annoyed purple mare again called out, "Spike... Come on, I thought we got over this waking up buisness years ago!"

     Again her statement went unanswered which caused Twilight to rush into my room, and what she found almost made her faint from fear. She realized that I wasn't there and was no where to be found which made her go into a frantic state of mind.

     She stated in an erratic voice, "Oh my gosh, he's not here! Where can he be!"

     Twilight then rushed out of the library and went to go get somepony to help her find her missing dragon, aka me. Little did she know that I was outside of the library hanging out with Damien, my recently discovered older brother, and laughing at Twilight's dilema which we witnessed through the window.

     I then turned to Damien and stated, "I told you she would overreact! I'm in for it now when she finds me."

     Damien chuckled at my statement and said, "Don't worry Spike, getting into trouble is fun. Makes your more of a badass if you ask me."

     "How can getting in trouble be fun Damien?" I asked with a confused look on my face.

     "I really don't have a clue brother, honestly it may just be because these ponies are fun to screw around with." He answered.

     "I can drink to that!" I exclaimed.

     At this statement Damien couldn't help but laugh as he exclaimed, "Looks like you inherited our old man's sense of humor!"

     I then felt that familiar warm feeling wash over me for the second time, the first being when I found out Damien was my older brother, and sighed thinking to myself, "Even though I did not know my real parents, I feel so sad. I got used to thinking that these ponies were my family, but after meeting Damien... I now know that I was apart of something way better, but this was taken from me."

     I gave Damien a saddened look as I said, "Damien, I'm so glad you found me. I'm so glad that I actually have a real family. Twilight and her friends were good for some time, and don't get me wrong, they still are.... but knowing and being with the last member of my "real" family somehow makes me feel complete."

     Tears then started to stream down my eyes and I cried which has not happened in Celestia knows how long. Damien saw me cry and gave me a hug only a brother could give and he stated, "It's okay little brother, I'm here... and I promise that as long as I'm on this Earth and breathing, I will work to mold you into an image mom and dad would have wanted."

     I sighed and got up along with Damien and started to go and follow Twilight. I smiled and said, "This way, I can introduce you to Twilight and all of her good friends!"

     Damien smiled at me but was inwardly hatching an infernal plot as he thought,"Spike, you really are naive. You are perfect for becoming my apprentice because your mind is so moldable, vulnerable, and easily changed. You and I will avenge what happened to our parents. I will do whatever it takes to change you into one who does not care and is evil like me. I will only do this when the time is right though, for now my facade stands."

     I walked side by side with Damien in a similar fashion as back in the Everfree forest. We were following Twilight as well as getting really funny looks from various ponies around the town. It was rather comical because both I and Damien looked exactly the same except for the fact that he was taller, muscular, and looked menacing.

     We both heard a pony say, "Is that Spike... I thought he was missing. Looks like he is with another dragon that ls exactly like him..."

     I then exclaime back at the pony who made the remark and said, "I"m flattered that you think I look like my older brother!"

     The same pony then said, "Wait a second, that is Spike... older brother...? What?"

    I laughed along with Damien at the confused pony and continued to stroll down he road. Finally we stopped as we noticed Twilight in the distance along with five of her closest friends which included Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. I looked up at Damien who said, "Should we continue?"

    I gave a slight nod as we continued to walk towards Twilight and her group of friends. The closer we got, the more of the conversation we picked up and it went like this.

    Twilight said frantically, "Have any of you ponies seen Spike anywhere?"

     "Nope." They all stated one by one.

     Twilight then responded with, "Oh my gosh, I need to find him. What if he's hurt or worse!"

     Applejack trotted up to Twilight and said in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, we will help you find him."

     "Yeah! I wouldn't be loyal if I didn't help you find Spike! exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

      Both I and Damien were hiding in a bush close to them now as I whispered to him,"Scare time?"

      "Go for it little bro." He responded with.

      I gave him a thumbs up and jumped out of the bushes exclaiming, "I'm Spike The Dragon, and I'm in the mother fucking house!"

     The mares all screamed as I laughed and said, "Well, I got you ponies... got to tell you though, it was worth it."

     Twilight then gave me her death glare and said to me in an angry voice, "Who do you think you are Spike. The fact that you were gone almost gave me a heart attack!"

     Pinkie Pie then jumped in front of her and asked, "Where were you Spike."

     I simply said, "I was in the Everfree forest last night if you really want to know so bad."

     Rarity looked at me with shock and stated, "Darling why were you in that dastardly place, you could of gotten hurt."

    I sighed and decided to introduce my brother saying, "I could of gotten hurt, but it would of been worth it for what i found..."

     "What exactly did you find?" asked Twilight.

      I signaled to the bush and a rathe large and muscular dragon that looked exactly like me walked out and stated, "Hello ponies, my name is Damien and I'm Spike's older and only brother."

Chapter 2 took me some time to get out... but it was worth it." Looks like we got more of a  glimpse of Damien's plan for Spike. Next chapter will come out within he next week. Chapter 3: "An unexpected meeting... The Mane Six meet Damien."
