"Where am I?"

Spike looked around confused and dazed slightly looking around him.

"The everfree? How did I get here?" He then looked down at his hands feeling something in them.

Did Spike blink in confusion seeing a... shotgun?

Spike has never seen a real one before but he heard about this human weapon many times from Jack before he...

*HOWL!*

Freezing up at the sound of the howl Spoke looked around.

Timberwolves?

No, this howl sounded different.

Looking around the dragon looked through the darkness to see anything but nothing he could barely see what was around him. The light from Luna's moon could barely help from how thick the branches from the trees barely allowed him to see for only some light went out from the cracks.

He couldn't fly out his wings weren't strong enough and he was still training with Rainbow dash to figure out how to use them but due to his work with Twilight, he barely had time for training. Now he was paying for that he learned how to use them now that he couldn't...

Here in the Everfree Forest with some large beast lurking in the shadows.

The forest was dead quiet which wasn't normal usually there would be bugs or something chirping in the dark.

Here nothing made a sound if it was too scared to make a sound because of what lurked in the forest.

"Oh... another one..." A voice spoke in the dark her voice made his spine chill. "And a dragon nonetheless... this is going to be fun to watch,"

A pair of pink eyes looked from the shadows at spike causing him to point the shotgun at the being.

"Sick 'em boy," The female voice spoke causing Spike to turn while a beast ran at him.

Panicking he ran forward as the creature ran at him glowing golden eyes in the dark as he could barely see the creature in the dark. Spike looked down at the shotgun his mind racing from what Jack told him about how a gun like this would work.

He turned around at the best that was still running at him.

'Brace arms, legs keep feet flat, knees bent slightly, then point and-'

*BANG!*

Spike's ear rang from the gunshot as a red shotgun shell went flying while another fresh shell entered the barrel, holding his right ear Spike forgot the part where Jack explained ear protection when using a gun.

Looking up his ears still ringing Spike watched as the creature's eyes were gone before they snapped to him if the shell winded the creature and didn't kill it.

Spike couldn't hear what he said due to his ears still ringing but he began to pull the trigger fast as he could firing countless shells into the beast but it seemed to only piss the creature off. Raising its claws back Spike was thrown into a tree his head hitting a rock when he land on the ground, his ears still ringing Spike opened his eyes to see his shotgun laying before him but out of reach.

Before he could reach out and try to grab it the beast walked forward to bring it's foot down on the shotgun breaking it in two. Fear filled Spike as he looked up at the creature and his blood froze when he saw the creature's face.

"J-Jack?" Spike could barely hear himself from his ears still ringing.

There before him was the nightwalker but something was greatly different.

A low orange glow came from some veins, his mouth dripping with a yellow-orange mixture that slobbered onto the ground burning the grass it touched. Scars covered his body and strange metal equipment was over his body pumping orange liquid, his claws were covered in metal claws that were covered in dried blood.

"Not anymore he's not," A woman stepped from the shadows wearing dark clothing that looked like a uniform with long heels clicked forward. "After what your friends did... well... let's just say he's now the monster you all feared he would be,"

The woman laughed while spike turned to his friend who was panting like a beast looking at him like a predator would do with it's prey. Spike could barely even tell this was the human nightwalker who was blasted out of the castle, now only hate, rage, malice filled those eyes that once held other emotions.

"What did you do to him!?" Spike shouted.

"I didn't do anything to him... the only thing I did was care and love him but the pain your friends caused him so much pain it poisoned his very soul turning him into what you see before him," The woman said stepping into the light allowing Spike to look at her face. "The pain slowly began to turn him insane. Ember and I tried to help him but to every doctor, we went to only found his condition to grow worse with every passing day,"

The dragonness looked down at the wounded dragon.

"Until we made a deal with a certain doctor who tried to help but... well... you can see how well that turned out," The dragonness knelt down to Jack due to her height gently brushing her head across his neck fur. "Jack's body rejected the drugs that the doctor used to try and help Jack but it ended up doing the opposite,"

Spike watched while Jack pushed his head against the pink and black dragon's own head like a loyal dog to his master.

"His mind shattered Jack killed doctor and... Ember in a rage along with everyone else and if we hadn't bonded... well," She laughed. "I would be here with him,"

"What?"

She smiled at the spike.

"You still don't understand boy... when a human even if they are a werewolf has their heart broken the mind soon follows suit I only wished we bonded sooner so I can prevent his heart from growing sour," She then scratched his chin. "Now I help him find those who cause him pain and hunt them down like the dogs they are,"

Turning to Jack's chipped ear and whispering something in it before turning to Spike.

"Just like you," She smiled at Spike. "Feeding time Jack,"

Jack roared before going over to Spike

"Jack it's me! Spike! Jack please it's me! It's a spike! Jack-" Jack grabbed Spike by the neck and raised his head up before biting off his head in a single bite-killing spike.

"NO!!!"

Spike awoke in the darkness of his room panting.

After gathering his breath he looked out the window at Luna's moon before looking at his nightstand, reaching out he grabbed the picture and looked at it.

It was Him, Big Mac, Button Mash, Discord, Shining Armor, and of course Jack before he was turned in front of the new game store that opened in Ponyville the entire group smiling. The group had gone when Jack visited awhile back to check out any of the new Role-playing games for them to try out as a group for guy's night.

It was a good memory.

They ended up buying a new nightmare night horror game that involved a killer and the group had to figure out who was it.

The group had a blast since Jack kinda knew the rules since it was similar to a game he used to playback on earth.

He called it a clue or something...

Spike felt uneasy slightly before getting up and placing the picture down before going out to get some water.

Actually, he might sneak a few bottles of cider sleep wasn't going to come so easily now after that dream

Author's Note

Sorry, this was a little late but here you guys go a quick Halloween semi-cannon chapter because I have been so busy lately I think you guys should have a quick short chapter.

So here you guys go in the holiday spirit.

It a not really horror but a monster-based story of 'What if' where Agape waited longer to show herself to Jack who was kinda heart broken after what happened.

So yeah based Jack's 'what if' form off of based off:

• Fenrir from Smite.
• Warwick from LOL (which I don't play)
• The Blight from dead by daylight.

So hope you have a great rest of your Halloween and I'm out to write some more!

Also the shotgun was a SPAS-12
