Abuse

Crap. Spike thought to himself, for he had just sneezed on a book. For anypony else it wouldn't be a big deal, but he wasn't a pony, no he was a dragon and dragons sneeze fire. This was bad. Real bad. Twilight had left the library to go to a picnic with her friends, but that was a little over two hours ago. She was going to notice too, for this was one of her favorite books 'Starswirl's Guide To The Arcane Theory'. Just as Spike started to panic Twilight entered the library.

"Spike I'm home! You better have finished your chores." she said approaching his direction.

He quickly hid the book behind his back before replying "Hel-lo Twilight."

"Did you dust the shelves?"

"Yes."

"Clean the dishes?"

"Ye-yeah."

"Put the Starswirl book on my bed?" Spike grew quite on this question.

"Spike answer me." he looked away and due to this she could see something behind his back.

"Spike what's behind your back?"

"N-nothing!"

"Spike show me what's behind your back."

"I don't have anything behind my back." he said putting on a very forced smile. Twilight grew frustrated with this back and forth and yank whatever it was behind his back with magic.

"You... you burn my favorite book?" Spike winced at this he knew what was coming next.

"You useless!" she punch him in the eye and gut with her front hoof. "Piece of shit!" Spike started to cough a bit before attempting to speak.

"Twi... let me explain." she levitated him with magic before flinging him toward a bookshelf, causing alot of books to fall ontop of him.

"Only my FRIENDS get to call me Twi, useless little lizards call me Twilight. By the way you're cleaning this up when I'm finished with you." Spike was sore all over at this point. He tried crawling toward the front door and maybe escape. He wasn't that lucky.

"Oh you're not leaving Spike because it's time for your 'favorite' past time." she said as she levitated him toward her as she wore a grin on her face. Spike's face however was stricken with fear because he knew what was coming up next.

Twilight walked into the bathroom and tossed Spike in to the bathtub.

"Please Twilight not this!" Spike said as he struggled in her magic hold.

"But you used to love taking baths. I'm just reliving the past." she said while she turn on the ice cold water while holding Spike back down using her magic.

The water levels were rising quickly. Spike knew he should savor his air before holding his breath. The water was now over his face. He could hear Twilight's watered down laugher from above him. His lungs started to burn from the lack of oxygen.

"Two minutes that's a new record Spike!" she said with a sickeningly cheerful tone as she yank him out of the water. Spike gasped taking in air. He only now felt the numbness of the cold.

"Now for you're other 'reward'." she said as she dragged him out the bathroom with his tail in her mouth towards the basement, opening the door before uttering "Have fun going on 'royal business' for the next twenty-four hours." she said as she threw him down the stairs and locked the door.

Spike curled up into a ball at the bottom of the basement steps and cried.

~~~

Twilight was sitting at her couch in front of the fire, reading a book and drinking tea. It was slow day at the library, like most days she had just finished punishing Spike. Useless lizard. she thought to herself. I would have gotten rid of him years ago if I knew he was going to be this worthless.

Knock Knock!

"Coming!" Twilight said as she made her way toward the door. "Rarity! How nice to see you."

"Quite so darling, I just came by to return this book if you don't mind." Rarity said as she pulled out her book from her saddlebags.

"Oh it's no problem at all." Twilight said taking the book. "By the way do you know how to get rid of stains on sheets?"

"Depends on the stain I can take a look at it tommorrow if you want."

"That would be great! I'll see you tommorrow."

"Oh and before I forget have you seen Spikey Wikey? He said he would come by my shop to help today and he never came."

"He's on royal business and you know how hard that can be. He'll be back tomorrow morning, I'll tell him to come over to your shop with my sheets."

"Okay then darling, bye bye now!" Rarity saud as she left. Twilight turned around and look at the basement door. She could see it being shaken from the other side. Good thing I soundproofed the basement. she thought to herself before going back to that book she was reading.

~~~

"Now what are the rules for going outside again?" Twilight said to Spike menacingly.

"Don't tell any anypony about life at home other than studying. Especially for what goes on at night."

"Go on."

"Before going out put on make-up to cover bruises."

"And finally?"

"Any cuts I can't hide under a band aid say I got it from doing chores or a hobby." Spike said before gulping hoping he didn't mess up the rules.

"Looks like you remembered this time I guess you can have dinner tonight." Spike's eyes lit up at this. He wasn't aloud to eat unless she said it was okay.

"Now take these sheets and go to Rarity's, Oh and before you do put something on that black eye." Twilight said before giving the sheets.

Outside. Spike thought to himself. And without Twilight breathing down my neck too! Spike cheerfully skipped down the road with sheets in claw (hand?). Ponies stared at him happily skipping, but Spike didn't care, he was to happy to feel the sun on his back after going on 'royal business' for two days.

Spike made it to Rarity's with no trouble. He knock on the door and waited. He could hear somepony coming to the door.

"Oh Spike I see that you're from royal business."

"Yep and now I'm here to help you milady. Oh here's Twilight's sheet's."

"I'll take a look at these later." she said as she levitated the sheets in to a bin before turning back to him. With the sheets out of his face she got a good look at him gasped. " Oh my darling! Your eye look horrible."

"My eye? Oh! My eye, I was um playing a game of hoofball with some royal guards and got hit in the eye with the ball." Spike said with a smile. He would be sweating if he could, since he forgot to put on some make-up to cover his black eye from Twilight.

"Ugh what a barbaric sport." Rarity said before continuing. "Anyway I was going out to hunt for some gems mind coming with me Spike?"

"Of course!" Spike said as they walked off.

~~~

"That was a good haul Spike." Rarity said as they entered her home.

"And they all look so tasty!" he said while practically drooling over the stack.

"Here Spike I think you've earn it." She said as she took a big emerald from the stack and placed it in his hands. As she did this however she saw a big cut on this arm.

"Goodness Spike! Where ever did you get the cut." she said while getting a better look at it. But Spike was ready if this question came up since he couldn't cover up the cut.

"I cut myself with a knive while cooking, heh how clumsy right?"

"But your scales are as hard as steel! How did a knive hurt you?"

"It was a diamond knive that I use to cut gems into thin slices like fruit. Can we get off this topic now?"

"Erm if you say so... you go sit on the couch and enjoy that gem I'll just look at that stain on Twilight's sheets." Spike did exactly as she said and sat down whille Rarity looked the sheets over. So this is that stain... it's dark red, now how could of that happened? and the pieces of the puzzle came together. Could this be Spikey Wikey's blood? No no no that couldn't be... could it? But Twilight couldn't have done this she so nice ans loving to Spike. I'll just have to ask him.

"...Spike?" she said as she sat next to him.

"Yes Rarity?"

"Is everything alright... at home with Twilight?" she could see him tense up before he replied.

"Everything is fine! Life is great." he said, but Rarity could see the truth in his eyes.

"Spike I'm your friend you can tell me anything."

"Anything?" he said looking up.

"Anything darling, these wall are a safe place now will you please tell me where you got these cuts and bruises?" And just like that Spike opened up that flood gates. Telling Rarity of the abuse, the beatings, of how when he when on royal business he was actually alone in the dark in the basement and how when Twilight was really stressed she would take him to her room beat him up intill he blead and then... touch him in places Celestia said never to let ponys touch.

"And you never tried to contact Celestia about this?"

"Twilight always said if I tried that it would be her word verse mine qnd since she was a pony and not a freak everypony would believe her." Rarity's heart broke in half after that statement and pulled him into a hug.

"I'm so so sorry Spike. I swear you will never ever go through that again!"

"You promise?" Spike said with tears in his eyes.

"I promise."
