"Yes!" she murmered.
Their conversation suddenly stopped as they heard growls from behind them. They turned to see the wolves were slowly walking towards them.
Twilight turned to Spike, and slowly whispered, "Run!"
They suddenly jumped up and ran through the bushes. The timberwolves took no time to start following them.
The thorns and brances of the thick bushes made it almost impossible to run through them. Twilight turned around to see that the timberwolves were simply just jumping over the pesky bushes.
"Jump over the bushes!" she yelled to Spike.
Immediately, they both started jumping over the bushes.
They were now running faster, and jumping over the bushes increased their speed by a small amount.
The wolves, however, were a different story. The wolves were built to run at high speeds, even when jumping. So naurally, Spike and Twilight were doomed.
But Twilight didn't think about that. Instead, she focused on running. That's until a memory popped into her head.
The nightmare from earlier that night.
In the nightmare, she and Spike were together when the wolves attacked them.
But they weren't being chased in the dream. Instead, they somehow ended up in the water. How on Earth did they-
Twilight's thoughts were suddenly cut off when the ground dropped beneath them. The both slid down the mini hill until they landed in the water.
Twilight's eyes opened as she realized something. Everything was starting to add up.
In the dream, she and Spike were being attacked by timberwolves and ended up in the lake. It shocked Twilight to think this was actually happening.
All of a sudden, the two heard splashes come from behind them. They reluctantly turned around to see the wolves entering the water.
"Oh no." Twilighr whispered in fear.
"SWIM!" she yelled.
They started to swim, but didn't get very far once the splashes had stopped.
The memories of the dream came back again.
Wait, the water stopped, Twilight said in her mind, But that means-
Her thoughts were suddenly cut off as a timberwolve's head popped up right behind Spike's head.
"Spike!" she yelled out.
Spike turned around and screamed. The wolf bit down on Spike's scales and pulled him underwater.
Now, it was all to real.
The events that were in the dream were now becoming true. It was like her dream was a message of some sort.
But now, Twilight had no time to think about that. Holding her breath, she dove underwater.
She painfully opened her eyes to see Spike being pulled underwater.
His face expression made Twilight want to kill herself.
It was the same expression he had made on Nightmare Night, when Rainbow Dash had scared him. His wouth opened and his eyes wide opened. The same face he had made when he had choked on the candy because of the scare.
But he wasn't choking on candy. His facial expression and the faint sound of screaming in the water meant only one thing: he was screaming for help.
Twilight started to swim down towards him. Since she was a pony, she wasn't exactly built for swimming. But she ignored her horrible talent at swimming and instead focused on trying to grab Spile.
Tears formed in her eyes as she saw Spike disappear into the dark waters below.
Twilight was just about ready to give up. But she couldn't. She couldn't let Spike die. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if that happened.
Using all of her might, she suddenly dove deeper into the dark waters.
It was almost impossible to see anything. Twilight was worrying if she would even be able to find Spike.
Suddenly, she saw Spike in the timberwolve's mouth.
She saw other wolves starting to swim towards him. They were going to rip him apart.
Twilight became angry and suddenly swam as fast as she's ever swam before, and kicked the wolf in the head, instantly killing it.
She turned towards the other wolves and kicked each and every one of them. She would punch, kick, bite, etc. Twilight was basically whooping their wooden asses.
Once every wolf was dead, she picked up Spike and swam to shore.
She was starting to run out of breath, and her eyes were bloodshot from the salt water.
She was about to pass out, until her head finally popped out of the water.
She slowly swam back to the sandy shore and lay Spike down on his back.
His eyes were closed, and it didn't look like he was breathing.
Getting worried, Twilight lay her head against his chest. She couldn't hear a heartbeat.
Panicking, she started to give him mouth to mouth.
Nothing worked.
It went to the point to where Twilight was pushing down on his scaly stomach and crying.
"Breath! Come on, breathe!" she cried. "Don't leave me, Spike! Please don't!"
Nothing happened.
She finally gave up, and buried her face in his stomach and cried.
He had been underwater too long. And now it seemed like he was dead.
Twilight had been too late. She had lost her #1 assistant.
She lay on her stomach next to Spike's lifeless body and cried.
"I was too late." she sobbed, "Please forgive me, Spike! Please!"

CHAPTER: I'll Never Leave Your Side
Twilight lay there next to Spike and cried.
How could she have let him die?
Why did she let him die?
Why did she have to start this?
Why did she have to call him Useless?
Twilight's mind was full of questions that balmed her for the entire incident. As it was her fault. She was the one who got angry. She was the one who called him Useless. She was the one who let this all unfold.
Thinking about all this made her cry more. Not only was her assistant gone, but her horn wouldn't grow back for another 2 weeks, leaving her magicless for all that time.
She turned to her lifeless assistant and said, "I'll never leave your side, Spike."
And she just lay there for the next 5 hours.
Her stomach was growling intensily. She hadn't eaten since 2 days ago, and her stomach was hurting.
But she didn't care.
She didn't care if she died.
She didn't have thoughts of suicide, but if more wolves came and ate her alive, she wouldn't care.
She was going to lay here until she finally decomposed.
Twilight just lay there, and started to think about some nice memories she had had with Spike.
~~~
There was one time she had played with him in the snow back when they lived in Canterlot.
She had thrown a snowball in his face, and he started to cry. That was until Twilight felt bad and offered him the chance to get her back. Immediately, he made a snowball and threw it in her face.
She shook it off and laughed. His crying stopped as he started to laugh too.
~~~
Twilight tried to remember more obscure memories.
~~~
She remembered another time when she gave Spike his first bath.
When she had turned on the water, he had hid behind the toilet and sucked his thumb in fear.
Once Twilight picked him up and put him in the water, he squirmed and splashed at first, wetting Twilight. Once he had gotten used to the water, the baby dragon had almost fell asleep.
Twilight smiled and hugged him.
~~~
All of a sudden, another memory entered her mind. The most important and exciting memory of when she was with Spike. It was the day she hatched him.
~~~
After Twilight had gotten her cutie mark and succesfully hatched Spike, Princess Celestia called her over when the young philly was leaving the building. In Celestia's arm was baby Spike, who she was nurtering with a bottle of milk.
"What do you want, Princess Celestia?" asked a confused Twilight Sparkle.
"I have a question that might change your life forever." the princess said.
"What is it?! What is it?!" the philly asked, pouncing up and down.
She put Spike down on the ground. The baby sat on it's rear and held the bottle with it's hands, savoring the taste of milk.
"Him." Princess Celestia said, looking at him, and back to Twilight.
"What about him?" asked Twilight.
"Do you want to keep your hatchling?" Celestia asked, a smile growing on her face.
Twilight's face went to confused to extremely excited as she pounced up and down.
"Yes! Yes!" she yelled, still jumping.
"Can you promise to take good care of him?" asked the princess, her voice suddenly getting serious.
"Oh, yes! Can I please keep him?" asked an excited Twilight.
