To Make a Mare of a Stallion

Chapter 4: Leaving the past behind.

The hospital night life was dull and boring. The young pink-maned colt was laying in his bed and his body was motioning back and forth in his sleep as he tried to get comfy. He woke up from his sleep, moving himself so he was laying on his back. His eyes were scanning the dark ceiling in boredom and curiosity. The tedious sound of the monitor beeping next to him was just another nitpick of him being stuck in the hospital.

”So this is what my life has come to, an annoying beeping sound every second to let me know I’m alive and the dead silence of this empty room.....I wish I didn’t send Jess away. Then at least I would have had somepony here to make me happy, she always knew what to say to keep me smiling, sometimes even just the smallest things made me smile, like putting makeup on my face or kissing my bruises. She was the mother I’d always wanted.....”

As if on cue, there was a tapping noise at the window. He pulled himself up, sitting up he turned his head to the window where he heard the noise. from Flam’s position, all he could see was a white hoof. Jess’ face popped up on the other side of the window, and she tried to lift the window up. Flam could see that the window was locked, but Jess couldn’t see the pin holding the window shut.

He climbed down from his bed slowly trying not to make his bloody hoof worse, he limped his way over to the window. The colt grabbed a small box cardboard box from the corner of the room and pushed it up against the window. He removed the pin, unlocked the window, and pushed it open for Jess.

“Hey there little bro! How are you doing?” The filly climbed through the window, landing her hooves on the other side of the window. She picked him up and put him back in bed. Jess climbed in the bed beside Flam, and turned her attention to him.

He slightly shook his head while looking at her. “I’m okay, but I’m still not use to being alone like this....I’m not like any other little colt who would be begging for mommy and daddy to take me home, no I’m stuck out here alone, and I have the worst parents ever...... Sis why don’t they love me?”

She let out a small sigh and nuzzled her little brother. “It’s because they don’t appreciate you for who you are... And they are wrong. You are the cutest pony I know, and you deserve better than this...”

He couldn’t help but smile at his sisters comment. “T-Thank you Jess, I can always count on you to make me smile, even when I am down in the dumps and depressed....”

She smiled and hid something behind her back. “I’ll always be there for you bro. You are the best thing to come into my life. Plus, I got a surprise for you, and I think you will like it...”

His eyes widened and he looked at her, even happier than before. “A surprise for me? What did I do to deserve a surprise? Besides get my self beat up and in hospital again...” His happiness faded again as the thought of being beaten once again entered his mind.

She frowned and pulled a little bag out from behind her, then put it in between the two. She smiled a little and reached into the bag. “Guess what’s in it...”

“Umm a train ticket so we can leave?” He looked up from the bag and back at Jess.

She shook her head and pulled out her makeup. A large smile appeared on Flam’s face as he saw the makeup, the one thing he loved almost as much as his sister.. “Sorry little bro, but it’s the next best thing. I am saving up for some tickets though, so I can get you out of this place....”

He pushed the bag aside, darting forward while wrapping his sister in a tight and loving hug. “Thank you Jess I love it, It’s the best thing you could ever get me!” He giggled releasing his hug sitting back from his loving hug.

She smiled and pulled out the makeup. “Okay, so do you want me to put it on you?” She grinned and pulled the lid off of some pink lipstick. She already knew the answer, but she loved to see him excited.

“I don’t need to tell you how to do it, you know how I like it right?” He smiled sitting himself up straight making himself nice and comfy while his sister worked on him.

“ Yep. Pink lipstick, black eyeliner, blush, and that small swirl behind your eyes that you love.” She smiles and begins to apply the makeup, bringing joy to the little colt.

A couple of hours had passed and the two were still awake, chatting and giggling to each other. They were both enjoying being with each other once again. Even though they were enjoying themselves, the sun started to rise outside, making the beams of light come through the blinds by the window. Flam looked at Jessica with a sigh. “You better go home, Mom and Dad will be worried if you aren’t in bed this morning...”

Jess shook her head and looked at him. “Screw Mom and Dad, they don’t know that you are here, and they don’t know I’m here so we are good.” She looked at Flam and shook her head. “You look so beautiful... And look at me, I’m a mess!” She motioned to her face and her lack of makeup.

He couldn’t help but giggle at his sister, she was right. Her face was rather messy, but he seemed to shove that thought aside and wrap his forehooves around his sister in a tight hug once again. “You’ll always look beautiful to me Jess, and nothing will ever change that.” He smiled. snuggling in Jess’s Chest fur.

Jess let out a small giggle and hugged her brother. “You always make me feel beautiful Flammy-Wammy!” She giggled a little after saying the nickname that Flam didn’t like one bit.

Flam looked at her with a cute pout on his face. “Don’t call me that.” He pushed her playfully. “You know I don’t like that, it’s Flam or Flammy plain and simple.” He couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment from the silly nickname.

“Fine, fine, but I’m going to call you want I want to mister!” She put on a serious face, but then burst into laughter from her remark. Flammy joined in on her laughter but both were interrupted by yelling and stomping down the hallway.

An angry-sounding voice yelled at another pony, and the two could mostly hear what he said. “They are my children! I’m allowed to see them, don’t make me …., trust me I will!”

The angry stallion’s voice was then met with a softer, but equally loud voice. “I said you can not go in there sir. He is in critical condition and any intrusion could hurt him. If you want, I can give him a message.”

The stallion retorted back at who they guessed was Nurse Redheart. “I don’t care about that rotten excuse for a colt! I’m here for my daughter. Now move before things get violent.”

The two foal looked at each other and then back at the door. Jess was the first to speak. “That’s Dad... We need to get out of here. Nurse Redheart can’t hold him back for long...”

He climbed out of his bed, pushing the box back under the window. He opened it once again and looked back at his sister who was still on the bed. “We leave now and never turn back...” He turned back, looking out the open window. The morning sunlight was beaming against his clean white coat. “Please Sis now is are only chance to escape let’s just leave and forget our family.....”

She looked back at the door and then to the window. “O-Okay... Let’s go...”
