"Huh?!" Both of their heads reeled back from the shock and in a moment of both curiosity and worry went in the direction of the sound.

"That crash was hard!, do you think somepony is hurt!" She said

" i dont know but whatever the case, we will think of something to do when we know!," he replied back

As they sprint towards the place the crash was heard another louder creshendo was heard.

This time a "thud" could also be heard. It was as if something fell from a second floor. This of course put them on edge, their love moment forgotten now only thinking about the origin of the noise but as soon as they turned left on the next house, they saw it.

Carrousel boutique, the window of the second floor broken, as well as the one from the first floor. A broken ponyquin in the floor in pieces and the inner mirror inside broken in pieces. This of course made their worry to panic, particularly spike, the former completely forgetting rationale.

"Aaaahhh!" She screamed in shock, and fear.

"Rarity!!! Hold on, im coming!! ,im coming!!! " he screamed rushing beyond Creamy.

"Spike, wait!!" She screamed at him, scared for his safety. Whatever happened here could spell trouble. However her voice was too late, since as soon as she ended saying those words spike broke the door open and runned to help rarity. Whatever was happening he would keep her safe.

However, as soon as he entered he could bet a tornado went by ponyville. Otherwise ¿how could the place be so trashed!? Glasses of wine were laid on the floor everywhere, broken. The mirror, before beautiful and large that rarity used for modeling her dresses was now just shards of glass near the stairs.

Her textures for clothes laid all over the place, not in an "organized chaos" but just chaos. In fact spike could swear something was off. REALLY Off in all of this, but he paid it no mind he only cared about rarity. Oh... if only he watched a little closer...

"Rarity! Where are you!?" He was looking everywhere until he heard a response in the form of a series of sobs from upstairs.

"RARES?!, IM COMING!!" as he got closer to her room the sobs became stronger until they stopped completely.

Spike, now stood before the door grabbing for the handle until a scream broke him from his trance.

"Who is there?!, get out!?" A mare screamed from beyond the door.

"Rarity?, did she not hear me over her sobs?" Spike thought for a second before answering her.

"Its me!, rares just tell me what happened!!, are you ok?! Tell me something!!!" He was rather worried.

"..."

"..."

There was a pregnant silence for half a minute until that silence was broken by the sound of hooves on wood coming closer to the door.

The next thing spike new the door was being opened, slowly revealing a broken rarity.

Mane?, dishalved and some pieces were cut. Eyes?, full of tears, you could still see mascara falling to the floor one drop at a time. Her furr?, full of scars that looked like small cuts, mainly in her forelegs and in her cheeks, were the cuts were deeper. Her room?, a mess. Her window broken, her bed unmade, in it a couple of broken shards tainted in blood as well as her sheets. In her neck the fire ruby spike had given her that fateful day. Her mouth in a flat line, she was a husk.

That is until she saw him. When that happened after the door was openned she just saw him for a couple of seconds as spike was shocked and got angry to the core, whoever did this to her was bucking dead meat!, in fact roasted would be a better term.

Rarity however seemed to regain consciousness and just sat on her haunches, eyes still crying and without saying a word, extended her fore legs to him giving an image similar to that of a child waiting for their mom or dad to pick them up to console them after they were bullied in school.

Spike just got somewhar confused but his protective instincts just made him respond to her silent beg hugging her and covering her with his wings and tail in a dome. So nothing touched her.

In the darkness of his selfmade protection chamber made of dragon scales he asked her in a whisper that he tried hard it didnt show distress.

"Rares? What...what happened? Im here now its all gonna be all right. Who did this to you? Are they still here?" He asked in a voice denoting strength and comfort for her yet worry thinking inside his head ( "just tell me where the bastards are so i can roast them to the bone").

"Honey...?" Said rarity, her voice craking.

(Honey? Spike thought.) Yeah?, What is it?"

"I..i..i....he...he tried to....rape me... and i... i just..." she broke down and started crying.

Spike's eyes were seeing red. "Were is he?, did he also did those cuts to you?" He asked in a sweet voice useful for preserving victims in calm, however his mind and hearth were everything but.

"...my cuts?... oh!.. no.. i... felt so dirty my cheeks.. my fore legs... my chest...and i... just could not help myself i tried to wash my body but i didnt feel clean so i started cutting with the glass i dont know why but it eased the pain in my heart... darling i... must look horrendous!, , im sorry... she said the last sentence her voice craking ans she broke down into a sob.

As spike grabbed her tight, she hugged him back like her life depended on it him carrying her wedding style, he turned back to the door to seek help but as soon as he did he saw applejack, Rainbow and pinkie pie who were not that near at the time to hear the crash but got called there by creamy when she looked for help and explained the situaion

"What the buck happened here spike!?" Demanded rainbow dash.

"Some vermint i bet, if i cath em they are dead!" Roared applejack

"Wich ever pony did this, guess what? The party is over! You hear me!?" Screamed pinkie pie in a "pinkamena" voice wich gave all lf the presents a chill in their spine.

As they all looked at him, they could all see spike holding a broken rarity as described prior while he had tears running from his eyes and a look that was so sad but also so fearful that all mares except rarity took a step or two back as soon as they looked at him.

His eyes where blood shot, veins popping in all of his extremities as if he was holding himself, his jaw clutched shot as if to not show fangs and instead of his usual green fire aura his nostrils were flaring a black flame that looked disgusting like black tar almost. This combined said to the girls that something happened to rarity and that spike was mad alright, furious was an understatement.

"Lets take her to the castle she will be safe there after i will make a letter to princess celestia or twilight to send some guards for the town" spike proposed, all mares looked at each other and nodded.

After that they all went to the castle for rarity's safety in order to be able to protect her and seek help both physical as in for example police or guards or psychological for rarity as in a therapist.

However before going off to the castle they castle they forgot a key detail: while they did not looked through the boutique for the culprit or clues of him mainly because the culprit might have had already escaped, there was no clue or proof someone was there beyond rarity saying so ...and there was also the question... why was the ponyquin from her room thrown away?.

In any case since they went to the castle and arrived there, not one second did rarity leave spike's side. This of her own free will, not even when it came to eating dinner or even going to the bathroom, the former spike being outiside the door to guard her of because she was asking him to do so.

Now, this did not bother him but it did annoy his now "lover" Creamy and raised a few brows of their mutual friends even fluttershy who now was there too after she was told what happened.

"We should probably sleep now its getting late, spike could you help leave rarity in our room please?" Asked fluttershy as sweet as always.

"No need, i... think i want to sleep with spike this night. Afterall his bed is next to twilights and celestia nows that is the best one in the castle. I think i need that bed right now, celestia knows i do." Rarity answered he as she used her magic to grap a mantle around herself and spike.

Uhmmm rares...not to be a douche or anything but...you almost got raped right? So... why would you wanna be near boys right now? Let alone sleep with them? No offense spike, its just that... im no psycholunist but it seems that her behaviour would be the oposite right?" Blurted out the ever undelicate dash

"Its psychologist and yes its seems a little weird no offense" answered back creamy.

"Hmphh what i feel i need is none of your concern, also who is this mare spike? A friend of yours?" Said rarity faking ignorance.

"Yeah actually i was about to ask the same question? Who is her anyway?" Said dash.

"Yeah ive never seen her berore.. i think.?" Wondered pinkie

"Uhhh a friend of his?" Wondered fluttershy.

"Seems like a foreigner ta me" said applejack

"Well she i-" spike was about to answer but

"Im creamy and im his mare friend" she interruped him as she puffed her chest.

Spike's mouth was left open and cheeks flushed red while dash, pinkie, applejack and fluttershy's mouth hung open wide and eyes widened as rarity faked a gasp playing ignorant again

After a little seconds of pregnant silence Rainbow broke the silence with a loud laugh literally grabbing her stomach in the floor.

For refefence

"Oh no no no hahahahahahah. She *gasp* said *wheeze* she said hahahahaha".

Pinkie and fluttershy were in shock for some seconds but for some reason applejack was now dead serious as she just kicked rainbow while saying.

"Thae are being serious idiot" with her farmpony accent.

Rainbow dash stopped laughing while fluttershy and pinkie's ears flattened and eyes widened more while rainbow pulled a "you serious?"

Then she stopped entirely and raised up

"Wow.. thats uhhh well... uhhhh damn". Rainbow was speechless.

"I will throw you guys a party!!" Said pinkie a little less happy than usual.

"...yeah you guys look cute together..." fluttershy whispered

Applejack just thought for a second and then looked at rarity to ask "you ok there rares? You are quietter than the farm in the night right now".

"Yeah, of course. As fine as i can be. I just... im surprised its all... i never knew her afterall or the fact that spike..." she didnt finish that sentence.

"Yeah sorry rares..." spike looked to the side a little guilty

"Sorry? For what dear? You found love that is... not something to be sorry about" rarity lied throuh her teeth. Right now fuming against creamy and him a little too.

"All right that settles it, you have the last word creamy, rares might need emotional comfort but spike sleeping in the same room that a mare he used to love... applejack startes saying

Rarity shot applejack a brief death glare..

"Is definately able to cause you disturbance and or jelaousy and im not gonna risk a new born relationship of one of my bff because of it. So is it ok if she sleeps with him this night only creamy? She concluded

Rartiy shot her another death glare that changed into a sad visage when she looked at her.

So... what will it be "creamy?".
