They don’t care they never have, they only see you as a pawn, a pet, a slave.

“Who are you what’s going on?” Spike asked in fear.

You poor naive fool this is an after effect of the Molt surely your friend told you this.

“No she didn’t.” Spike said.

That’s because she didn’t want to let you embrace your darkness, face it Spike we are one.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, never.” Spike said.

Yes we are embrace it you coward.

“NEVER!” Spike yelled.

Spike then began panting he’s been having these dreams for a while now, and it’s been driving him crazy, he can’t go through with being seen as a monster again, he couldn’t he wouldn’t.

He hasn’t told any pony about this except Smolder, she said she had no idea about what was going on and that this wasn’t normal and she would ask Dragon Lord Ember about it.

Spike could only hope she could help or else he was doomed.

Ha still relying on your puny friends, pathetic. Spike’s shadow told him.

“What the, wait a minute I’m only dreaming.” Spike said.

Oh but I am part of you remember, I am every single part of you that is sinful, your greed, selfishness, darkness, and your lust, I know the way you look at those 7 mares as if they're actually your friends with especially the white unicorn known as Rarity, ha pathetic you should give up on that hopeless crush it will never work out, you’re just her slave, and that is all you ever will be, and that pink earth pony Pinkie Pie just wants to prank you and constantly laugh at you, oh and about that yellow shy pegasus Fluttershy she doesn’t show it but she fears you, and that orange pony Applejack you’re merely just a burden she doesn’t want to deal with, that cyan pegasus Rainbow Dash just sees you as a weak and pathetic runt, the reformed unicorn Starlight Glimmer only sees you as a backup friend, and your so called bestie Twilight Sparkle only sees you as an assistant and a pet you’re not her friend you’re just her servant, servant servant servant servant servant servant. Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha.

"No you're wrong my friends do care about me, they love me." Spike argued in defiance, deep down he was starting to believe the shadow's words.

Oh please I doubt you actually think that, one day Spike you will know your place with those so called friends you have.

Spike woke up and clutched his head in tears of sadness and anger he remembered all those painful memories of the Mane 6 being uncaring and thoughtless towards him and began to cry but soon he felt a mighty rage and glared at his smirking shadow.

“Get out of my mind!” Spike commanded.

I’ll never leave Spike I am you, you won’t accept it but you will and you will embrace it.

Soon he no longer saw the dark shadow and only saw his regular shadow. He was just hallucinating again. Dreams, hallucinations it didn't matter anymore.

Spike began bawling his eyes out he couldn’t take it he feels like he’s trapped in a dark cave and he can’t escape.
