Cheerilee's Garden(车厘子的花园）Part.8(2)

She dashed into the inner sanctum, and was relieved to find only one path open to her. That made it a lot easier; she could have methodically searched the entire area, of course, but she knew she was running out of time.

“Oh Spike...” she whispered as tears filled her eyes, and she drew the dragon’s limp body into a shaky embrace.
“T... Twilight?” Spike said, as he opened his eyes slowly against all expectations.
