Twilight's Old Doll

Twilight Sparkle closes the book she has been reading for the past week, "Okay Spike I finished this book." she said with her head held high. Spike walks over and picks up the book, "It look you long enough." he said rolling his eyes. Twilight smiles, "Well it was so good I had to re-read it." she tells him as she looks at the book shelf behind her, "I feel like reading something that I haven't read in a long time." she tells Spike as she looks over the book shelf. As Spike is putting the book where it belongs he looks over at her, "Well we can check the basement for a book or two." he tells Twilight as he walks next to her, "That's not a bad idea." she replies to him as they head down the stairs to the basement. Twilight and Spike search the basement for a box of books. Twilight comes across a box that is half way open. She opens it up and finds her old rag doll that she use to play with.

Spike looks over at her as she pulls the doll out, "Hey Twilight what did you find?" he asks as he walks over to her. In Twilight's hooves is a rag doll. It's mane and tail is messed up, the coat was patchy, one of her button eyes are hanging on by a string. Twilight remembers all the fun they had. They read books, wrote their own stories and spent the nights with each other. She looks at the old rag doll that has been in the box for years. Spike looks up at her, "Hey Twilight why did you put your doll in the box and leave it?" he asked as she holds the ragged doll in her hooves close to her, "Well it was when I started to study magic. I didn't have much time for her and when we moved into this library I guess she ended up back here." she replies to Spike as she places the doll back into the box, "I would love to keep playing with her, but we have a lot of stuff to do." she adds as she closes the box and pushes it back where it was found.

Twilight and Spike walks back upstairs. They looks around for a book to read. After a good hour Twilight finality choose a book. When it starts to get dark Spike starts to walk upstairs, "Well Twilight i'm going bed." he tells her when he gets to the top of the stairs, "Okay. Good night Spike." she replies to Spike as she lights a candle. After a hour of reading the book she starts to hear some pony walking outside. Twilight looks out the window, but does not see anypony out their. It sounded like their where walking to the front door. She walks over to door and opens the top part, "Hello? Anypony out here?" she asked, but no reply. She uses her horn to light the area up a little better. With the light of the horn still no pony was seen in the area. She closes the door and walks back to her desk.

As Twilight makes it to the book she sees that it is vary late, "Well I guess I should get some sleep so I can wake up early tomorrow to read." she tells her self as she places the quill into the book to keep track of where she is. Twilight walks up the stairs to her bed. She rest her mane on the soft fluffy pillow and rest her purple coat onto the bed. Pulling the blanket over her with levitation magic and she slowly falls asleep.

When the sun rises and shines into Twilight's room filling it up with light she sits up. As she rubs her eyes with her hooves to help wake her up she hears spike downstairs walking around. She stands up, brush her hair and make her bed. When she finished she walks down the stairs, "Good morning Spike." she looks at him with a smile, "Morning Twilight. I got up early and wanted to start cleaning." he replies as he picks up a few book that where sitting out for a few weeks and some scrap papers with empty quills, "Do we need more quills?" Spike ask as he throws away the trash. Twilight Sparkle looks around her supply desk, "I think so Spike." she replies as she keeps looking though it, "You can go and pick them up later." she adds as she walks to her book she left on the desk last night.

When Twilight makes it to the desk she sees that her book is gone, "Spike did you pick the book up that I was reading?" she asked looking for it, "No. Did you misplace it?" he replies as Twilight looks around. She moves everything around, "I don't misplace my books." she tells Spike still looking. Spike looks at her, "Then they do we have books all around the place..." he asked as she looks back at him with a glare, "I just can't find it." she tells him as she keep looking. She looks under the desk and finds it, "How did it get down here?" she asked herself as she picks up the book. Twilight places the book back on the desk and flips to the page she stopped on.

When it gets around noon Spike walks past Twilight, "I'm going to go pick up our order of quills and scrolls." he tells her as he walks out the door. Being deep into her book Twilight just nods and keep reading. After an hour and half she starts to hear hoof steps from upstairs, "Spike what are you doing?" she asked looking at the stairs. The sound stopped and started back up going the other way. Twilight turns around and walks to the stairs, "Spike?" she asked slowly walking up the stairs not knowing that Spike left. As she makes her way up the stairs no pony replies. When she makes it to the top of the stairs. She looks around the room, but did not find any pony. Not seeing anything she walks around the room to see if anything has been moved.

After a few minuets of looking around the room nothing was found moved. She walks back down the stairs. When she looks around the room the front door opens up. Twilight sees Spike walking with the new supply of scrolls and quills, "Did you just get home?" she asked with her head tilted. Spike looks at Twilight, "Yea? Why did you need something?" he asked as he places the scrolls and quills on the table. Twilight rubs her hoof on her chin, "I think i'm going crazy..." she replies as she walks to her desk where her book was waiting for her. She sits down and starts to read again. When the day slides past Twilight the darkness of night slowly sneaks up on her and fill the room. Her horn glow lightly and light the candle.

Spike tells Twilight that he is going to bed and walks up the stairs. When an hours past by she hears the hoof steps again. She looks over at basement door where the sound is coming from, "Hello?.." she says slowly closes her book. Slowly step by step she walks to the door as she is still hears the sound from under her. Twilight opens the door with a creek. She gently steps on each step on the stairs. The closer she got to the bottom the farther the sound went. When she made it to the bottom she use a illumination spell to light the room enough to see, " Is any pony down here?" she asked looking around, but no pony was seen or replied. She walked around the basement step by step. When she made a compete circle around the basement, she ended up finding nothing.

She turned around to the stairs, but stopped by seeing a gray patchy coat with a few spots missing. It's dark brown mane was messy and party tangled. One of the ponies eyes where purple and the other was blue. It looked like it was living in the darkness for a couple of years. Twilight backs up some at first sight, "H... Hello?" she said still looking at this messy pony. It walks slowly to her, "... Twilight..." it said in a low strange tone. Twilight backs up some more till her flank hit the wall, "Who are you?" she asked hoping it would stop walking to her. It stopped just about two feet form her, "... I've missed you... Don't you remember me do you Twilight?" it asked more as it straighten up. She slowly grows scared of what will happen. It slowly walks to her after a minuet of no reply, "I was your best friend Twilight..." it says as it sits back down just out of hoof reach.

For a minuet Twilight sat their quiet looking over the ragged pony, "Are you my doll from when I was little?" she asked with a shaky voice. It just nodded with a smile, "You do remember me..." its said as it gives her a hug. The feel of the ragged coat and the strange feeling mane made Twilight have short flash backs of when she was with the doll as she was young. Twilight was sad that she let her doll alone when she was young. She slowly held the pony back, "I'm sorry I let go when I was young... But I needed to because I needed to study and I had no time to play..." she adds letting go of the pony. It lets go and backs up, "But we are best friends... Remember?" it asked as It tilted its head. Twilight looked down, "Well I grew up and I have a lot of work to do... I'm sorry." she replies to the doll as she slowly tries to walks past it.

When she makes it to the first step the pony remains where it is sitting, "Well... Good night..." she told the pony as she makes her way up the stairs. She takes the last step to the upstairs and sees the pony sitting just a few feet form the door, "Twilight..." it says as it looks up at her. She gets thrown off guard from thinking it was still in the basement sitting in the dark she almost fell down the stairs, "Hum... Yes?" she replies looking at its ragged coat and tangle mane, "Can I sleep beside you for one last night? I'll never bother you again..." it asked as it looks at Twilight's eyes, "I don't see why not..." she replies. The pony give a creepy smile, "Thank you Twilight..." it tells her as they head upstairs. Twilight moves the blanket and crawls in bed as the pony crawls in after. She tries to fall asleep with this strange pony with her. The feel of the rag like coat and the messy string like mane made it a little hard to sleep, but she was able to a few minuets later.

The next mornin Rainbowdash knocks on the door, "Twilight! Are you home? I want to borrow the Daring Doo books again if you don't mind." she yells as she knocks on the door more. She waits a few minuets and opens the door, "Twilight? Hello?" she ask looking though the place. It was dimly lit from the shades being down, "Hey Twilight you home?" she keeps asking as she looks though rooms. Rainbowdash makes her way up to Twilight's bed room, "Hey Twilight..." she stops in mid-sentence from what she is seeing. Twilight's face is pale with dry blood around her mouth. Some of it go onto the blanket and sheets of her bed. As Rainbowdash slowly walks closer she sees the doll with its hands lightly stained with blood leaning on her. Rainbowdash is shocked in fear. When she turns around to go tell some pony she stops sees the ragged pony with the messy mane between her and the door, "Don't leave Rainbowdash..." it said with a scary voice.
